Where: Fair grounds.
Rating: PG
Status: Complete.

Hermione woke up the next morning and felt peckish fighing giant spider tends to make one hungry so she decided to check out the fair grounds for some food. Looking around at all the colourful tents on her way reminded her of the Quidditch World Cup and all the tents that where set up all over the place all decked out with magic, She made a plate of random meat and veggies went to find a place to sit down and eat her lunch quickly after she was done she felt like doing some more exploring, among the tents their where offers of classes that she thought to be fun so she went to go check them out. She entered the medival cooking tent only to find out that it was occupied by goblins, not wanting to be taught by a goblin she slowly back out feeling the glares from the goblins as she hastily exited the tent. She walked down the path afraid to check out any more classes fearing they too will be taught by goblins.

Walking for a little while she stumbled upon the archery range, which currently had no occupants, she always wanted to try archery so she helped herself to a bow and some arrows then walked up to take a shot at the target, drawing back the arrow she let go and missed the target then reloaded and tried again and got the very bottom. Feeling very pleased with herself she tried once more but she heard someone behind her the sudden noise frightened her making her jump and miss the target completely, She turned around to see who this person was "Hello?"

Waking to find that the bed beside her was empty didn't really bother the warrior princess. Both she and Gabrielle had the tendency to rise before the other. Rarely did they rise at the same time. And to be honest, usually it was Xena who was awake long before the bard got up. Perhaps her "trip" yesterday had worn her out more than she thought. The only thing different about the empty bed today and the empty bed yesterday was that she didn't have a sinking feeling about it. Gabrielle was still here, she'd just gone out, probably for food.

Which was a damn good idea, come to think of it. Xena pulled herself from the strange bed and washed her face in the sink. She dressed in her leathers and made sure all her weapons were in place. She still wasn't sure about this place and its rules, and she was going to be prepared. She left her room and headed around the building until she found the barn where Argo had been stabled. Feeding and brushing the mare, Xena found solace. If there was one thing besides Gabrielle that could bring her peace, it was the menial task of taking care of her horse.

Though she would have preferred to ride Argo around the village, she knew that she could accomplish more on her own two feet and wouldn't have to worry about tying Argo up or having her wander off to gods knew where. She left the barn and walked into the center of the village where there were several tents set up. They weren't battlefield tents, but she kept her hand on her chakram nevertheless. She found food in the form of bread and butter, ale and roast pork. While she ate, she watched the people around her. Some people, especially those who were working the various booths and tents, seemed faceless. Or rather, she forgot them almost as soon as she looked away. It was unnerving, really.

Deciding that she wasn't entirely fond of faceless people, she wandered to the outer perimeter of the village and discovered sparring rings, jousting tracks and an archery range. As the archery range seemed to be the lesser occupied one, she aimed for it. There was a young girl shooting arrows at the target, though not very well. She was about to open her mouth and announce herself when the girl jumped and sent the arrow flying off into the trees. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you."

Now this girl, she could remember her face when she glanced away and, to Xena, that was a good sign.

Hermione took a few seconds to take the Warrior woman in, she was different from any other woman she met being bigger, more muscular well the only other woman she could think that was bigger would be Madame Maxime but she was a half giant. At first she thought she was wearing a costume to fit in with the surroundings but she looked to relaxed in it and she could see the leather was worn so this must be a outfit worn many a time. The weapons the woman carried where also a give away to the period she came from, being a sword and some strange circular blade when muggles these days preferred guns. With her appearance this woman was one Hermione would usually try to stay away from but this woman’s words where kind and she felt no harm was to come her way but was ready to draw her wand if needed. “Its ok just kind of missed my target,” she laughed

“I’m Hermione Granger nice to meet you” she smiled at the dark haired woman lowering the bow to her side and taking a few steps closer to her “I’m very new at archery, always wanted to try it and since I found my way here I figured I would, I never even thought I would manage to hit the target at all” she laughed and looked back to the arrow that was embedded in the very bottom of the target then to the forest and wondered where that arrow went “I hope you don’t mind my asking but can I see that blade I’ve never seen one like this, what’s it called? And how is it used?” Hermione could not help but look at the strange circular weapon the woman carried and was curious of how it worked, she walked over to the woman and hoped she was not asking to much by asking to hold it.
