video (un: man's greatest treasure)

[reparo]

[the video shows a very close up angle of her face, because someone hasn't bothered taking the pendant off to film this. there is a thin balance between amusement and panic on her face, too. she draws in a breath and:]

May have made a mistake.

[from beyond the video, a bird interrupts her confession almost on cue:]

CA-CAW

[she angles the video quickly to a murder of about ten crows in the grass, at her feet, looking up at her. she brings the video back to her face.]

Umm. I fed one. It followed me three days ago, and I had some biscuits in my bag, and I unthinkingly fed it. The next day it brought two friends over. The next day, they also brought friends over. [it's a pyramic scheme of crows.] And now this. [there's a bit more caw-ing in the background, and the camera shakes while she moves to clearly feed them again, because she doesn't know any better.]

Also one swooped down to nip at a villager's hat today because he was looking at me, so I think I might have a murder. Of crows. On my hands. [she's secretly pleased with that wordplay.]

So - that's all from me. Public apologies to the family for the ruckuss.

[ooc: SORRY FAM #10 but if you dont't want a murder of birbs, why claim a witch is your sister? dated to after the fox weddings.]

[ ...what does that even... ]

You talk to a lot of mirrors?

unexpected text in my last thing

[reparo]

No - no, they just remind me of the enchanted ones in Hogwarts. They talk to you, even if you don't want them to.

100% legible it's fine

[somebadnews]

...Is that all they do?

[ Now he's taking notes, good job Hermione. ]

[reparo]

Yes, thankfully. The world does not need an opinionated mirror attempting to give you the make-over it insists you need.

[somebadnews]

[ Ignoring... most of that. ]

Have you worked with any other magic involving mirrors?

[ And can she trap these ghosts in a mirror so they stop walking in on him and making him spill his coffee? Not the most important question, and yet. ]

[reparo]

[She thinks about one mirror, in particular.]

There was one - I didn't work with it, I just...have a friend who looked into it, when he was young. It was meant to show the person looking into the mirror that which they most desired.

[She pauses, and adds:] It's a bit why I didn't really trust the wishing door in Elletheia.

[somebadnews]

[ Interesting. Five didn't mess with the wishing door because he was... whatever, it doesn't matter what he was doing. ]

So you're familiar with them, but you don't know how they were enchanted?

[reparo]

[Five. You sophisticated baby deer - she was just a student up until 7 months ago.]

Correct. There are things out there I don't know. [Dry:] Shocking, I'm sure.

[somebadnews]

[ It's not his fault that this is what they give him to work with. ]

Not as much as you might think.
