...would anyone who's been kidnapped by the Malnosso before agree to meet with me somewhere and talk about it? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

...Possibly... Are you all right?

One of my friends was taken last night. So no, not really.

...I'm sorry. They'll return.

I just returned a few days ago, myself.

Oh. [She didn't mean to do this -- didn't mean to be stirring so many bad memories in so many people. But if it worked, if it helped...] I'm sorry. I'm glad you're back. I'm Katara.

[voice]

It was a set of memories for me.

Oh, I'm Hermione Granger. It's nice to meet you, Katara.

[voice]

[markofthebrave]

A set of memories?

You too.

[voice]

Unpleasant ones in my case, but not all are like that. [Sorry, Katara. Brain-to-mouth filters don't exist in Hermione's world.] Your friend will be all right.

[voice]

[markofthebrave]

[That's all right. She's not expecting it to be something pleasant.] Thanks, Hermione.

...could you tell me where you were, when they came for you? Were you by yourself?

[voice]

[At least Katara's talking to someone who's very knowledgeable about things?]

I was at the house here, alone in my room. They can come in anywhere and take whoever they want at any time. There's no stopping them. The important thing is to be ready when they return.

[Katara doesn't want to stop them. She wants to try to get them to take her, when and where she chooses.]

Right.

...it seems like everyone is always alone when they get taken. Have you ever heard of them coming for someone when they're in a group?

[voice]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

[...And Hermione used to think Harry was crazy.]

No, I haven't. They seem to want as few interruptions and as little trouble as possible. One person can put up a fight, but they will be overpowered each time. It's easier to kidnap with no witnesses.

[voice]

[markofthebrave]

...I see. Thanks again, Hermione. Maybe I'll get to talk to you again sometime when things aren't... like this.

And I'm glad you're back.

You're welcome. And thank you. Take care... and keeping looking for your friend.
