It looks like we're not leaving right away, so maybe this would be a good time to get some basic skills down, if anyone is interested in learning to shoot? First, can I talk to some of the magic people, to see what can be done about firearms and ammunition? I know some of us are armed. I've seen assorted weaponry here. But bullets aren't infinite, obviously, and we will need a reliable source.

For those I haven't yet met, I'm Jaime.

I had a talk with Hermione about how we need to have a campaign meeting. My impression from what I see in the journal is that this group is moving ahead, greeting those who arrive in a happenstance manner, and go on from there. Perhaps those of us who are better at verbal communication should make most of the explanations. Perhaps we need to sort through some basic concerns as a group.

Since no one else has suggested this, I'll say a two o'clock meeting the day following the party. Attend, even if you don't feel like you want to say anything or contribute actively. This concerns everyone so you should at least listen because all of our futures matter here.

Would you please list your name after this, whether you are a wizard/witch or not, any talents you have which might be helpful here.

Let me start.

Jaime Lannister
Not magical
Served as a knight and military commander where I came from, therefore can ride, wield swords and daggers, used to living rough and hard travel

Warded so it is only visible by females
I don't know most of you here as I've only just arrived. My name is Hermione Weasley and I feel that I need to reach out to you all. First off, are there any mother's here? The reason I ask is that I am about half-way through a pregnancy and I am afraid that I have lost the level of family and support I had at home. I promise not to be a burden to anyone, I just don't know if I can do this alone.

I think you should all be aware that there is a werewolf in our midst, and his name is Remus Lupin. I consider it my public duty to give this warning. Beware when the moon is full.

Hope you don't mind that I sort of slipped away. You looked so happy with your friends, I didn't want to interrupt. More people for the party, right?

We'll get together and find those instruments, let me know when's good for you.

I'm the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the future? Wicked! What else don't I know about myself? Is there a cure for I never thought I'd be a teacher. The idea has always been appealing to me, but I've never felt like I could logistically do it. A bit insecure in that department, but really... I'm rather amazed at what I've learned so far. Please, please, please tell me more!

Since I found this journal with my things, I thought I should use it even if it reminded me too much of another journal, a long time ago.

I can't believe what I've been reading in this thing! Ron! Bill! Charlie! You're all here too! Where are you guys? I'm at the inn.

I'm sure that most of you are in bed at the moment and likely will not even realize there has been a new arrival until sun rise. My name is Hermione and I was pulled here from the year 2005. From what I've been told there are many in this place from my world and others that come from various points in time and a multitude of locations.

I do not know what you all have planned for the day but I have been told you about the mission to save the people of this land. I would like to request a day to research the library to look into the time tables here. If this is not possible as the group needs to move ahead could someone volunteer to stay here with me while the others continue?

Private to Ron
Before I see you there are some things I need you to know.

Why, what a quaint little place I've found myself in. There's a happy little brook down by the wayside and... oh! How terribly rude of me.

Allow me to introduce myself. Albus Dumbledore. Not to be confused with Aberforth. He's quite the grouchy fellow, I'm afraid. Doesn't even like lemon sherberts. Can you even imagine such a thing? How could anyone in their right mind... well, I shouldn't say such things. I'm sure he has his reasons. Silly as they may be of course.

Speaking of... does anyone know where I can find myself a slice of lemon meringue pie? I've just been craving one for the longest.

Oh, I do hope Abby is looking after Ari. I don't believe I'll be coming back for a while.

This is most certainly not Hogwarts. I'm not entirely sure what I did, but I've likely gone awry whilst studying for NEWTs. A bad spell perhaps. Any ideas?

Okay, where am I? I was at Hogwarts, it was all cool... I mean, I was at school. And now I'm here. This is totally weird. Harry? Hermione?
