Who: Hermione Granger and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Vanquish
When: 30/11 onwards

I think it might be time for me to ask for a little bit of advice.

I've been here a while, now, and I'm normally very good at not missing people. I used to give people tips on how to feel better about it, and it used to work for me, too, back when I was in the Drabwurld and there was a war to focus on. I would go and look in the library, but I can't imagine there's much of a help section there - dreadful, honestly - so.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to cheer yourself up, I'd be glad to hear it.

(Also: I have potions for all the ships on the fleet, now. If you'd like a set for your Lab, please let me know and I can bring them over!)

I can imagine. Doesn't sound like magic works the same in every world.

[Of course she would have one. Stefan stifles a laugh, because honestly, he's the exact same way. Extra kettles are a necessity for a tea addict like him.]

Can I help you look?

[brainiest]

That would make it easy, wouldn't it?

[ Shifting, she frowns before she turns back, waving a hand. ]

No, it's fine, I've got it - Accio kettle and cups.

[ And they come flying over to her out of a cupboard to the side. ]

[stefanged]

[He flinches, not so much at the display of magic as that weird, irrational fear that they would hit him.]

Whoa. [Even now, he can't help a small, amazed huff.] That's gotta save you a ton of time.

[brainiest]

[ Hermione just gives an apologetic smile, going to fill it up. ]

There are some perks to being a witch.

[stefanged]

So I've noticed. Can't say I've particularly lucked out with my powers, unless you count the uh, not needing to sleep thing.

[At this point, his vampirism's an open secret, considering how badly he's been hiding it as of late...]

[brainiest]

I think I can empathise a little.

[ There's not much difference between not needing to sleep and literally being cursed to be unable to sleep, right? Right.

Moving on. ]

Sugar?

[stefanged]

Ah, no - just powdered milk or creamer or whatever's fine if you have it.

[His sweets usually balance it out for him. He'll go ahead and open the container now, careful to grab some napkins from his bag too.]

[brainiest]

I think we have a little...

[ She fixes their drinks before she goes over, passing Stefan's mug to him with a smile. ]

[stefanged]

[Victory!! Stefan's eyes light up like a fireworks display as he accepts the mug.]

Ah, thank you. I know that's not always easy to find.

[He'll make a mental note to bring some of that later too, just because he can.]

[brainiest]

I try my best to stock up, and I can duplicate things as long as I have the actual thing first. I helped Erik get flour, too, so I'm working my way through the food groups.

[ It keeps her busy. ]

[stefanged]

Give it a little time, and I'm sure you'll master them too.

[He's practically beaming now - powdered milk would come in handy, not just for tea but also baked goods.]

As much as I try, it gets hard to predict how much of something I'll actually need.

[brainiest]

It's been a long time since I've had to worry about preparing food like this.

[ If she could buy some and duplicate it... It would help more people, she imagines. ]

There are always rainy days and it's frustrating.
