Sixteenth Spell

[Hermione has taken her radio down to the music room. Hard Harry suggested they use it to broadcast music. So she is going to do just that. She taps the radio until she gets a good frequency, then begins to play the piano.

It's a simple piece but she still sounds a bit out of practice. Not much chance for music when you're on the run]

This has been the musical stylings of Hermione Granger. Thank you for listening.

[wizard_redfive]

Sure. I'm free right now. You in the music room?

Dictated

[courageous_wit]

Yes, though I'm headed out. We can meet at the Lux if you like.

[wizard_redfive]

Alright. I'll be there.

[courageous_wit]

[and so will she. She will be waiting at the entrance :) ]

[wizard_redfive]

[There is a quiet bang! sound as Dairine suddenly appears nearby, carrying her wizard's laptop. She smiles and waves at Hermione as she walks up.]

Greetings! Are you Hermione?

[courageous_wit]

[well that's a bit more like Apparating, so Hermione isn't caught by surprise]

Yes, I am. It's a pleasure to meet you!

[wizard_redfive]

You too. Shall we? [She gestures into the Lux.]

[courageous_wit]

[she nods, going into the Lux to pick out a table and sitting]

So... Are you called a wizard or a witch in your world?

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine follows.]

Wizard, though some people use the word Emissary.

[courageous_wit]

And why are you called that?

[wizard_redfive]

It's a more formal title. Wizards go a lot of different places to fix problems. So it implies I was sent to that person for a reason.

[courageous_wit]

Oh, I see. So magic is well-known in your world.

[wizard_redfive]

Not really. Not by humans at least.

[courageous_wit]

Real magic isn't known to most humans in my world, either. Except for those who are witches and wizards, of course.

[wizard_redfive]

Naturally. [Keeping wizardry secret was part of the job.]

So I'm guessing you're a witch then.

[courageous_wit]

I am. I didn't know until I turned eleven and got my letter.

[wizard_redfive]

That's funny. I started when I was eleven too.

[There was no letter though.]

[courageous_wit]

That is funny. Maybe that's the age when magic is most easily defined in people?

[wizard_redfive]

Dunno, I started pretty early for a wizard.

[courageous_wit]

No, eleven is the age when wizards start out in my world, too!

[wizard_redfive]

No late starters?

[Granted it's rare even in Dairine's world, but still...]

[courageous_wit]

Not that I know of. Some schools may start you at a different age, but for Hogwarts it was age eleven.

[wizard_redfive]

Oh, so you have special schools for witches and wizards?

[courageous_wit]

We do. They're all hidden, of course. Non-wizards never even know about them.

[wizard_redfive]

[By all the Powers that Be, why did no one think of that back home??]

As you'd expect. [It takes a lot to get non-wizards' attention.]

So what do you do in Hogwarts?
