[If you knew how much that meant, Hermione...] Let's start by rebuilding our empty stomachs first. How about that?

[bookish_lioness]

[That makes her laugh, grinning at him in response.]

Of course. I see you haven't changed a bit.

[angle_on_it]

Why would I? [He nudges her, obviously amused at the idea he might.] Guy's gotta eat. And a guy's got to feed his loved ones, doesn't he? Probably doesn't work the same where you come from. Shops and markets for food, not hunting and gathering.

[Taking hold of his hand as he nudges her, Hermione grins at him as she gives his hand a squeeze.]

Believe me, I'm ecstatic that you're still the same. And you'll see just how different things are where I'm from once we figure out how to get you there. I think you'll really enjoy it.

[angle_on_it]

Yeah? I think so too. Of course, your friends might get pretty sick of me hanging out with you all the time, and asking all sorts of questions. Assimilating a totally different world was hard enough once.

[bookish_lioness]

No friend of mine would say a word about you being around me all the time. [Well, except for Ron. But that's besides the point.] If you've managed to get used to Adstringéndum, I'm sure you can get used to England. And Scotland, as that's where Hogwarts is.

Man, does everything end in "land?" Bet you guys would call where I come from South Poland!

[bookish_lioness]

... well, there is a country called Poland, but that's not related. We're by France and Germany and Italy, for example.

[angle_on_it]

Huh. There's going to be a bit of a learning curve, isn't there? Right now, all I have to remember is a couple of nations. How many are there in your world?

[bookish_lioness]

Er-... a bit more than a "couple." But don't worry. No one will hold it against you if you're not familiar with all of them.
