New Year's brings images of crowds, and songs, and fireworks; staying up til midnight and watching balls or bells being rung. But Luceti is a different time and place. Whether you're partying with friends or watching the sunrise, what are you doing today?

The relationship between Draco and Hermione was strictly a friendship, but it was an awkward and strange and very nice one. Hermione would never want to ruin it with anything. And besides, Caroline had been in the picture long before she ever could have and Ron was still in Hermione's picture. So at least Caroline didn't have to worry about that.

Hermione let go of the jar with one hand to shake Caroline's offered one. "It's very nice to finally meet you. I hope the party's going well for you. Oh-"

She'd almost forgotten. She dug into her pocket and drew out one of the S.A.V.E. badges, this one in red and gold. "If you don't like the colours, I can change them to something you do like."

Draco had not briefed Caroline on the house colors of Hogwarts, else she might've insisted upon something a bit more green for his sake. The red and gold was right up her alley without that added bit of Wizarding World information, and she took the badge with a smile and proudly pinned it to her shirt.

"It's perfect. Thank you. ...and really, thank you, for speaking up like that. Not everyone would've been so bold and I know vampires don't have the best of reputations, but not all of us are like the ones that are 'vanting' to suck your blood."

Hermione was just happy Caroline approved of what she was doing. It was nice to actually get some recognition and appreciation for once. No one had appreciated her work with S.P.E.W. but at least someone appreciated S.A.V.E.

"I thought it might be something useful for Luceti. Sometimes we get cozy with our prejudices and forget that there are differences with people. Just because someone was born into something doesn't mean they're automatically good or bad. It's only a part of them, not the entirety of who they are."

Please don't get her started, Caroline or she'll never stop.
