Who: Hermione and Match
Where: A little cafe, not far from the campus
What: Coffee
Rating: No higher than PG (if that)

Hermione debated, for the briefest of moments, canceling her meeting with Match. Despite her best efforts to pretend otherwise, Barbas had unnerved her. He was a demon, which was eerie enough in itself. If you added into the equation the fact that he was a demon of fear...

She shook her head, refusing to let the thoughts take hold. Demon or not, she refused to become a recluse, and she refused to acknowledge her fear.

She was going to have coffee with a friend. Barbas could do whatever he wanted. He wasn't going to bring her life to a halt.

Feeling fiercely determined, she made her way down to the coffee shop where she was to meet with Match.

	Match was there and he stood and waved when he saw her. So much had happened lately and he was glad to see her. "Hermione! Here!" He grinned from the small table he had gotten them. There was already a small menu at each place. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hermione beamed at him, and waved briefly before hurrying over to the table. Immediately, she was was relieved that she hadn't remained hidden away. "Hello," she said brightly, beaming at him as she sat down. "It's good to see you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He smiled and reached out to grip her shoulder before settling back. "It is good to see you, too, my friend. How have you been?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, fine," she said, which had been true up until a few hours earlier. "Do you know anything about demons?" she found herself asking, suddenly. She wasn't great at things like this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He blinked. "No much. I have killed a few, but only because I hit them harder and faster than they were ready for. Magic affects me just like anyone else I am afraid." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh." She deflated a little, sinking back into her seat. "I was just curious. I've been looking through my books, but none of them seem able to agree on what they're like, and what their powers are like." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He nodded. "I am sorry. Perhaps you should consult the Gods... or the Fates." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione burst out laughing. "Consult the Gods?" she repeated, "You can't be serious!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He raised an eyebrow. "I'm dating Clotho." The words were just a little colder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The change in tone took Hermione completely by surprise. "Clotho?" she repeated slowly, "The youngest of the fates? Who spins the threads of life?" Her eyes were as wide as saucers. "I'm not saying they aren't real," she said, "But here? Walking around the university?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He relented a little. "Yes, her. And they are real, and here, and living amongst us. This place draws them just as it does all the rest of us. Some are good, some are not so good. A few can be trusted, if you know how. In ancient times, with the right sacrifices and offerings, the Fates could be trusted for advice." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I never imagined..." Hermione breathed, too amazed to even apologise for her earlier outbursts, "Here!" She paused and looked at him. "And you think they'd be able to give me advice? I'm not sure about sacrifices..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He smiled, amused. "I don't know, but the library might help. You could find out what kinds of sacrifices or ceremonies were used, how to approach them, and then... well, from there, it is a matter of choosing whether or not to, I suppose." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
