There is a large orange tabby cat exploring around the Nexus. He seems to be looking for someone in particular. Now, that in itself is not unusual.
However, this particular tabby cat is wearing a make-shift holster around his belly and there seems to be a Starfleet phaser encased in the holster. Only the top of the phaser is visible to the eye... but it looks covered with soot.
The cat is also being followed by a glowing blue light very closely.
After a few moments of being frustrated of not seeing anyone's face, from where he is on the ground... the orange tabby cat jumps his way up a few different Nexus fixtures, until he is higher up. He stares around the Nexus and makes a soft meowing sound. Almost questioning.
Anyone care to try to answer his question.

He sits there, pawing at the door, softly meowing. His witch is behind this door.
And he needs to get her the supplies.

Crookshanks waits for Adia to adjust to her surroundings, before meowing at her, and leading her from the restricted section of the library (where Hermione's door exists), down a hallway towards the basement. Where they will soon come to a potions lab, where the witch in question is busy over a cauldron.
She looks up, in surprise. "Adia?"
no subject
Still, a library -- even a magical one -- is a comforting place for her, and soon enough she orients herself to Crookshanks' meow and then follows him to the basement. She's less surprised to see Hermione, although relieved that she seems unharmed. "Crookshanks found me in the Nexus," she explains. "I got the ingredients you needed... what's going on? Are you still stuck here?"
no subject
Hermione nods, as Crookshanks makes his way up to her. Laying down, so she can access the pouch at his side. "Yes. There is a ward around Hogwarts right now, to keep all the students safe. I couldn't leave to get these supplies."
no subject
The potions lab, by contrast, is practically mundane. Adia finds a spot to stand that won't get in the way of Hermione's work. "What's happening outside the school?" That evil wizard isn't back, is he? The concern in her eyes is easy to read.
no subject
"But these supplies will provide us the chance to cast a better protected spell."
Hermione starts putting some of the ingredients into her cauldron. She glances at Adia for a moment. "You are safe here. With me."
no subject
"Is there anything else I can do to help?" She took another look around. The lab looked like something out of a fantasy novel. "What are you going to do after the new protection spell is cast?"
no subject
"We would need Newts Eyes, Lizards Leg, Nightshade, Rose Thorn." Hermione lists off the required ingredients for a healing balm.
"Once the students are safe, I and a few other trained wizards, are going to battle the Dark Wizards. And capture them for trial."
no subject
She wants to help, though. Anything is better than standing around feeling useless. Moving towards the shelves, she starts looking for the ingredients. Hermione will let her know if she's picked the wrong item.
"Capture them," she repeats quietly. She glances over at her friend. "Is there a prison that can hold them?"
no subject
"Yes. There is. It is called Azkaban." Hermione knows that while the aim is to capture the Death Eaters, more than likely there will be deaths today.
no subject
She has just spotted the newts' eyes (and they have spotted her, ew) when Hermione answers her question. She looks over her shoulder, hand on the jar. "Is that only for magical prisoners? How, um, how do they keep people from breaking out?"
no subject
no subject
She's thinking about Khan. And the enemy Cylons. It bothers her that the only practical punishment for these people is death.
no subject
"But if you are speaking about someone in the Nexus or another dimension... then we can talk more in depth. Once these spells are completed."
no subject
Still... there's not much else to do while she waits. "Anything else I can do?" she asks softly. She's feeling very Muggle-like at the moment. How scary to wander into a place like this with no knowledge of what was happening or why.
no subject
"Yes. There is an extra cauldron right there. And a list of how much of each ingredient is needed to make a healing balm. I need a dozen balms, so multiple the required ingredients accordingly."
"The final spell is something I would have to do. But it would be a great help if you started preparing the potion."
And the potion itself is pretty detailed, with instructions on preparation.
no subject
She picks up the list, then locates some measuring equipment. The multiplication is easy enough to do in her head. The careful measuring takes concentration, but she doesn't have any trouble. It reminds her of some of the titrations she's had to prepare in her own lab. The newt eyes and lizard legs are unappetizing to handle, but she had to do dissections in school. It's nothing she can't handle.
"All set," she says finally, once everything is measured and put in the cauldron. She seals up the jars and returns them to their rightful places on the shelves.
no subject
"Excellent." Hermione casts the spell over Adia's cauldron. The potion swirls for a moment, before turning a bright purple. She then uses a scooping spoon to place the potion into smaller empty jars.
"This should be everything..."
no subject
While Hermione fills potion jars, Adia wonders if she'll end up needing them all. She hasn't forgotten about the dangerous wizards and witches outside the school walls. "Are you going to go out there now? To fight?"

She looks down at Crookshanks, to see what he thinks about this plan. "It's up to you to keep me from getting lost," she says seriously. "I don't know anything about this place."
no subject
Hermione picks up a few supplies, preparing herself for the upcoming battle.
Crookshanks meows politely. Of course he will make sure she doesn't get lost.
