[she clears her throat, trying to sound as much of an authority figure as possible. She's done this as a prefect but it's an entirely new feeling when you're shouldering the burden of being a professor. Plus she has to pretend that this is all normal for those who have fake memories. Sigh]

Hello, students. Welcome back to another year at Hogwarts. I am the Arithmancy professor, Hermione Granger. Will all of my OWL and NEWT students please turn in your summer homework as soon as possible? We'll be getting right to work in your next class so I want to be sure you're prepared.

I'd also like to welcome all of the new Gryffindors. As your Head of House, I want you to know you can come to me with any questions. Good luck to our team today. I know that you'll all do our House proud. [she's really not into Quidditch, but she'll still support the team]

Hello. I'm actuallly from this world originally. We're in my school, so if you get lost or need help, just let me know.

Hermione - Filter Paradisa

[babyaliendaddy]

I'm cool. I talked to Dairine. Your school's pretty sweet.

Paradisa filter forever~

[courageous_wit]

I'm glad you like it. It's good to be back, even if it's only temporary.

[the_effect_she_has]

Okay, I'll badger you with questions later but for now?

What's Transfiguration, Potions, Herbology, Muggle Studies, Alchemy and Defense Against The Dark Arts? I already had Magical History, Astrology and Charms... [Charms was said in a hiss. She nearly blew up her partner in that class.] ... and where can I get all the basics for Charms through seven years of school?

[A pause.] And, ah, yes. I remember myself.

Katniss

[courageous_wit]

Those are all classes that are offered to students. It sounds like you're at a NEWT level, which is for sixth and seventh year students. [she's honestly a bit surprised Katniss ended up signed up for a NEWT History of Magic; hardly anyone goes on with that after their OWLs]

I didn't take Alchemy, but I can help you with the others.

I was afraid for a moment that I would have to come up with an excuse for not having my summer homework ready. Hello Hermione. How does it feel to be back?

Filter

[courageous_wit]

Hello, Five. It's very odd to be back, but a relief it's not as it was when I last saw the school.

You were Sorted into Ravenclaw, weren't you?

[pastina]

Psssst! Miss! Is it true you remember the first magic castle?

forever

[courageous_wit]

Actually, Hogwarts is the first magical castle for me, but yes. I remember Paradisa too.

[Filter]

[scarredglasses]

Why do some people remember Paradisa and some think they've always been here?

[Don't get him wrong, he loves being back, but he's a bit confused how they got here and why people are acting strange.]

Harry

[courageous_wit]

Paradisa does that to people sometimes. I haven't figured out a pattern yet, but it's not the first time we've been given false memories.

[takecareofmine]

My cat ate it. Should have seen it coming.

[courageous_wit]

I wasn't aware you owned a cat, Once-ler. Don't worry, I can give you a make-up essay. [why is she not surprised you're in Arithmancy?]

[whistles_the_blues]

Hm. Think I'll be able to make do on my own. Ghosts don't seem to have too much they need to do around here.

It turned you into a ghost?

[Oh my god of course the math teacher would be the one to remember. THANK YOU MATH]

This is your school?

[a pause]

We don't have to do the homework, do we? 'Cause seriously, I already graduated!

Filter

[courageous_wit]

[math is where it's at]

I was a student here before I came to Paradisa. But no, you don't have to do the homework if you don't want to. I just thought to keep up pretense for the sake of those who have false memories.

[kungfuwitch]

Ugh we just got here and we already have to think about homework? Lame

[courageous_wit]

Phoe-- erm, Miss Halliwell? Did you have trouble with the homework?

[nerwen]

This is your world, is it? To be frank, I am most concerned about what unpleasant surprises may await us; these world changes do not tend to go peacefully.


[And then she remembers to add-] This is Galadriel, if you have not guessed.

Galadriel

[courageous_wit]

Hogwarts isn't always a safe place, either. But there is hope things will go smoothly this time.

[both_neither]

Can you explain the wands, because I don't...really...get it....

Paradisa filter

[courageous_wit]

I'm the wrong person to ask about wands. You're better off speaking with Ollivander. I can tell you that the wand chooses the wizard, so whichever wand you have is best suited for you.

Hello, Hermione. We haven't met before. I'm Bruce Banner--a forty-five year old doctor of physics, properly. [He gives a weak chuckle.] Do you have any advice for an old man who hasn't been a teenager in decades and wasn't very good at it the first time around?

Filter

[courageous_wit]

Hello, Dr. Banner. Erm, I know a few people have changed ages before. Maybe you could ask them.

[xss]

Oh...this is your school?

So the castle brought all of us to your home or is it... just another trick?

[courageous_wit]

This isn't how I left Hogwarts, and none of my friends are here. It's a trick.

[What does any of that even mean... Other than it's her fault?]

Not going to cover for us, huh?

I can't watch everyone all the time. All I can do is tell you what to watch out for.

What the hell is up with the stairs.

[courageous_wit]

They move. I think they're enchanted that way to keep students on their toes.

[youfallback]

I'll be prepared, Professor. Is there additional reading that should be done before class? [aka she would love to do extra credit, even though classes haven't even started yet.]

[courageous_wit]

There are lots of Muggle books dedicated to numerology. I would certainly recommend reading them, as their take on the subject adds an interesting new dimension to it.

[goingrogue]

I'm gonna fail my classes, aren't I? All I've ever wanted to be was a wizard and I'm gonna fail my classes! Why couldn't I be one of those lucky bunch that think they're from here?

... Though, gotta say regardless of the whole failing thing... You've got a bangin world. Color me a bit jelly.

[para filter]

[courageous_wit]

Try your best, and come to me if you really have trouble.

Thank you. It's nice to see the place so quiet.
