The sun had finished it's descent beneath the horizon an hour before, moonlight being their only source of prominent light as they were beyond the reach of the lampposts in the park beyond. Despite the warm summer air the grass of the field shown in a light layer of frost, it being the only indication of the dementors presence. It was still profoundly odd that both he and Hermione were otherwise unaffected by the beings as was normally the case, the abject fear and hopelessness was entirely absent from the two as they studied them.

Watching the two dark creatures glide about the clearing was oddly relaxing, the teens were seated beneath an english oak nearby. At Hermione's urging Harry had continued to give them a variety of commands, which were promptly followed without the slightest resistance or hesitation. Despite the bizarre situation Harry couldn't help but grin as Hermione followed the movements of the dementors with rapt attention, he knew without a doubt that if they could perform magic outside of school she would have conjured a pen and parchment to take a copious amount of notes.

"Hermione?" His voice pulled her attention from her mental stirrings and ponderings to the wizard at her side.

Blinking she met his gaze with a sheepish grin. "Sorry Harry, it's just so fascinating. We're most likely the only humans to ever observe dementors with an unbiased point of view, seeing as neither of us are under the effects of the despair they normally pull from sentient beings and feed on, we're able to observe them as they are instead of as others perceive them to be just based on how they make them feel."

"Well put Ms. Granger." Harry replied. "Ten points to Gryffindor." His exaggerated tone pulled a laugh from her and she rolled her eyes.

"Prat." Hermione swatted his arm playfully. At his grin she huffed in mock annoyance and leaned against his shoulder.
