... is this—oh, alright, it is.

[The voice may be familiar to many, and the face in essence too, but as Ginny Weasley leans back from the camera to address the network, it might be clear to those who know her that she's different today. For one, she's wearing her Gryffindor uniform, all robes and tie and cardigan. For another, she's younger and thinner—almost drawn, and though her eyes are as quick and bright as ever, they carry a wariness and weariness that haven't been present in years. Her hair is still long, though shorter than she's been wearing it in the City, and there's no mistaking the still-healing split lip or faded bruising along her cheekbone and eye.

None of this seems to bother the witch at the moment, though. There are more important matters to attend to.]

Hullo. I seem to have taken a wrong turn at school—not unusual, really, the stairs like to play tricks—but I was on my way to a classroom and ended up in this, er, charming place. And while I'm terribly fond of London, I know this isn't it; and honestly, I'm running late as it is.

[There's a hardness in her jaw and in her tone that the City softened long ago, but she isn't demanding answers like she had the moment she 'arrived.' She has her bearings, now. To an extent. She pauses, then smiles, shaking off the very real irritation for a more charming façade; come, now, help the innocent school girl find her way home.]

Hardly back a month from holidays and I've already got loads of things to do! I'm not usually late, you know. I don't mind missing a few minutes of Professor Carrows' class, for example— [She chuckles, shrugging.] —but I'm sort of in charge of this meeting and they're all fairly useless without me. I've read a guide, of course, but I don't exactly trust everything I read nowadays.

Thank you for your time.

[OOC; ginny's been hit with Feels Like the First Time! she's back to being 16 years old and for her, it's february of 1998, so she's still at hogwarts and helping neville lead the DA and causing general havoc with the student's rebellion.

she won't remember any CR she's made in the city for the duration of the curse because to her, this is her first time arriving here. it will all come back to her tomorrow, of course. enjoy!]

[There's probably no point in going through the "I do know you" yet since he's not sure if this is temporary or not.]

It's fine. I did ask.

[Probably best, considering she won't believe her own brother when he tries "you're cursed." So she chuckles, nodding a little as if to say, "Yeah, you did," then tips her head thoughtfully. She blurts it out before she really thinks it's a good idea: ]

You're a lot nicer than I expected.

[And then she immediately looks sheepish and slightly mortified, gaze skittering up and away.]

I mean. Considering.

[Wasn't Merlin a Slytherin?]

...thanks.

[He sounds amused enough at least, so no hard feelings.]

Considering what?

Well.

[She is obviously trying to be the least offensive thing, here. Which is probably amusing because Ginny Weasley normally doesn't give a damn about being offensive most times.]

Your House. I mean, not that Slytherin's awful— [Yes. Yes it is. Ginny, you are lying to Merlin.] —but it's not like they really get on with Gryffindor. I'm biased, really. That's all.

[He gives a very brief, almost sharp laughter at that. Ohh.]

Oh, no, I'm not from your world. Not. Not... me exactly. I don't exist in just your world, or yours and mine, apparently, but a lot of them, so...

[And doesn't she look bewildered by that.]

There's more than one of you?

Edited (what are icons) 2012-06-11 16:16 (UTC)

Not here. As far as I know, anyway. But, yeah, I guess there is.

Wow.

[She is actually really amazed by this, okay.]

So, this world thing, that's real, too?

[Understandable.]

It is.

[She rubs a hand over her mouth in absent thought, grimaces a little when it irritates the cut there.]

Wow.

[Said again, but softer, more to herself.]

That means there's loads of other worlds that aren't like mine. [A quiet huff of breath.] Wonder what that's like.

It is pretty fascinating.

[He rather enjoys it.]

Maybe if I'm here long enough, I can ask around. It does sound dead cool.

[You have no idea how long you've been here, Ginny.]

Do that.

Could start with me, if you'd like.

[No, the anticipation and curiousity written all over her face is too bright to know about the over three years. When the City wants your memories gone, it's very thorough, it seems.]

Could I? What's it like, then? D'you really know Arthur?

[That's kind of cute, in a way.]

I do. Crown Prince Arthur Pendragon, greatest prat I've ever known. He's here too, actually.

[Ginny Weasley does not do cute, bite your tongue.]

He's a prat. [Why does she sound... amused by this.] Aren't you supposed to be friends?

[Yes, she is.

That's fine, he's amused too. His tone and grin should give it away easily.]

Oh, we are friends. Doesn't change that he's a prat.

I feel the same way about my brothers.

[It's said jokingly, but as far as she's concerned, she isn't friends with Percy.]

I get the impression it's fairly common between siblings.

You've no idea.

[Ginny huffs out a breath, fluttering the bit of hair that's fallen in front of her eyes and she sweeps it away impatiently.]

How do you deal with it, then? The pratness.

Well, he's gotten better. I just call him out on it. Other than that he's... not so bad.

[Maybe just a little sort of one of the greatest men Merlin has ever known.]

[She grins.]

Sometimes calling someone out on it doesn't work. [PERCY.] Glad it does for you.

Well, it depends. A lot of the time he has to learn the hard way. I just help him through it.

As friends ought to do.

[Then, brightly,]

I hope we can become friends.

[Beaming grin.]

I'm sure we can.
