Office hours- Friday

[smartestone]

In between working on class for Monday, Hermione was trying to write a letter. In truth, she'd been trying to cohesively describe everything that had been happening for about a week now, and hadn't had much luck. You try explaining it.

So really, it wasn't so much that she was trying to take a break from class in order to write, but rather the other way around.

[Open. I'm going to stab myself in the hand so going to urgent care will give me something to do.]

"See, it's not bad, is it?" said someone who'd never been a full animal. "Now hold still."

And then she turned him back. Luckily he'd have his clothes, unlike a Fandom transformation. She should probably warn him about that.

For the sake of the ladies of Fandom, maybe she shouldn't.

Neal was flabbergasted when all of a sudden he was human again, grabbing his hat from off the floor beside him and getting back to his feet.

"What -- what was that?!"

[smartestone]

"That was Transfiguration," she said. "Quite simple, really."

[charming_thief]

"Uh-huh." Okay, give him a second; Neal was definitely shaken from that encounter. It wasn't like he'd ever been turned into a cat before. "So people on this island can go ahead and just turn each other into cats, huh?"

...Not quite, sweetie.

[smartestone]

"Of course not everyone. I can, because I'm a witch." And then she started thinking back to their first meeting. "Did I not... mention that?"

[charming_thief]

Maaaybe? Neal couldn't remember because his player failed at such things that day had been kind of hectic, all things considered. Either way, he probably hadn't believed her the first time.

"Gotcha," he said after a minute, eyeing her curiously.

[smartestone]

She felt sort of bad now. Also, a little self-conscious. "What?" she asked, noting the eyeing.

[charming_thief]

And that was when Neal decided to turn on the charm. Well, more than before, anyway.

"Nothing," he said evasively. "You've got a lot of intel on this place, you know that?"

[smartestone]

"Of course I do," Hermione said. "I went here for two years, and what I don't know I've at least attempted to research. Was there more you wanted to know?"

[charming_thief]

"Nah, nah, I think I'm good," he said after a minute. And again with the devious eyeing. "Uh -- nice talking to you, Hermione."

Followed by the charming smile he saved for pretty girls. Hey, girl-Peter or not, she was still hot.
