[ It's only slightlyunsettling to wake up with an unfamiliar lady calling you 'dear,' finding a little girl calling him 'daddy' next was the real kicker. As if Ron could ever spawn a child that looked like that. Actually, come to think of it, why was he even at that house and waking up in that bed anyways? Wasn't he last thrown into a dungeon of ( Read more... )

You don't need to ye--- [The scolding voice stops as it begins to register. Since she knows that voice. And Scolding it was only second nature at this point. Especially about things like this.]

[He couldn't be here. She didn't want him here. They had things to do back home... One of them had to stay be safe from Mayfield. Then again, she wanted him here as well as inexplicable as she thought it was--]

FINISHED I HOPE inheritedtales February 20 2011, 02:41:37 UTC

[She swallowed hard before she found her voice again. Keeping to the important things, confirming beyond all things this was him. Even if she was certain already. Still, she hesitated a little wary.]

R-Ron?

lightsguide February 20 2011, 02:49:29 UTC

HERMIONE?

[ He is so relieved to hear her voice, even if it starts off as a scold because it's so much better than screaming in pain, which reminds him- ]

THEY'RE NOT HURTING YOU, RIGHT? I'LL SAVE YOU!

inheritedtales February 20 2011, 02:56:40 UTC

[Hermione's torn between being amused and more than a little annoyed. Three months since the last time she heard him, and hearing him scream from a cellar wasn't the best way to remember, either. Nor was anything else about the moment... But still.]

[She keeps her voice firm.]

Ronald. [There's a slight pause. It feels nice saying his name again, but the fact he thinks people are still hurting her... He can't be any further than her, can he?] I'm fine.

[The words were simple but she wasn't getting into everything when he was still screaming at her.] --Try speaking to me in your normal volume, Ron. You don't need to shout into telephones.

lightsguide February 20 2011, 03:06:15 UTC

BUT WHY-- [ Oh, perhaps they were being listened in on. One can never be too sure with Muggle contraptions, though it was probably spelled somehow if he didn't need to shout. ]

Where are you? I'm in some weird house and-- [ maybe it was best not to mention waking up with some weird lady who insists they were married. At least not right away, it was probably part of some evil plot to keep them all separated. ] and, I don't know.

[ He whispers the next part.] Hermione, I think they somehow turned me into a Squib!

inheritedtales February 20 2011, 03:17:45 UTC

It would be better if you told me where you are, Ron. Can you find a piece of mail with the address on it or something. [She pauses.] Trust me, I know.

[At the last bit, she frowns.] At the current moment, in all intent and purpose, you are.

lightsguide February 20 2011, 03:26:10 UTC

Mail? [ He fumbles around looking for one, nearly pulling the phone off the hook with him before he decides to put it down gently. Mail, mail, mail. There were quite a few catalogues on the coffee table with his name on them but he didn't find envelopes until he reached the side desk by the door. ]

I think I'm on 1652 Albright Lane, in... hey! It says I'm in the United States! That can't be right.

inheritedtales February 20 2011, 03:39:16 UTC

[She listens, waiting as he moves around the house. It's still strange thinking he was here. She wasn't sure she believed it, and was almost fairly certain she wouldn't until she saw him. So when he came back on the line she quickly calculate the distance.]

It should be impossible, yes, but as far as everything's concerned it's where they say we are at.

[ A breath.] If you give me fifteen minutes I can be there. Albright Lane is just on the other side of the town from where I'm at. I'd bring Harry... But I don't think he's anywhere in the house and I'm not sure if I can find him. [At least there's knowledge Harry's here, too.] Do you mind if I bring Crookshanks along?

[BECAUSE CAT. Does not like the drones and has been all protective since arriving Thursday night.]

lightsguide February 20 2011, 04:05:24 UTC

[ For once, Ron would have welcomed a long winded, detailed explanation. ] I don't think I get it.

Are you sure you don't want me to go to you instead? I mean, is it safe? Merlin, did they take Harry now!? [ And he would have started asking more questions but, what is this about the cat? ] THEY TOOK CROOKSHANKS TOO!? There really is no limit to their evil.

inheritedtales February 20 2011, 04:13:05 UTC

[And you'll get that long winded explanation, Ron. She's frowning.] Neither do I, really. [There's something in her voice that makes that evident that, in normal Hermione fashion, she hates the idea.]

I'm sure, Ron. Mayfield--this town, I mean-- is difficult to navigate when you first arrive. It'll be easier for both of us if I found you. [And she's just... sidestepping the safe question for now. Mostly because anyone knows safe in Mayfield is hardly a relative term. But she'll be logical about this and feed the facts.]

There's several people from home here, including your Mum. Unless I've missed a few there's eleven of us in all. Not counting Crookshanks, of course.

1/2 lightsguide February 20 2011, 04:32:34 UTC

Seriously? We're doomed then, aren't we?

If we can move around and leave these houses, can't we just get out? It can't be that difficult, we can probably find a broom... [ Though being all squib-like at the moment Ron wasn't even sure if flying is even on the menu anymore. Maybe there were portkeys lying around, or they could just borrow a car and later a boat. ]

lightsguide February 20 2011, 04:35:12 UTC

[ 3..2..1 ] Wait, what? THEY TOOK MY MOTHER, TOO!?

Hermione! What are they doing with her? Where is she, is she all right? [ All that's keeping him from running out the door now is the wire coil attached to the receiver, but even then it's probably stretched to its limits. ]

1/2 inheritedtales February 20 2011, 04:40:59 UTC

[She's going to ignore the first part for a moment. Since, even with trying to find a way and doing everything possible... People have been here for a year without finding a way out.]

[Instead she barely holds in a snort.]

You can't leave, Ron. This place has something like muggle repelling charms, but in reverse. Walk to the edge of town and you'll only find yourself on the other side. And... even so, when you can find the way out it's apparently worse than Mayfield itself.

inheritedtales February 20 2011, 04:44:00 UTC

Ron!

[The voice was a little sharper and louder, though not by much. Only trying to get him to stop panicking. Still, from the last phone call she wasn't exactly sure, but there was no reason to get Ron to panic.]

As far as I'm aware your mum's alright. I can take you to see her in a little while if you like.

lightsguide February 22 2011, 00:16:46 UTC

Now that's just impossible. [ While he could imagine that sort of charm on a house or even on the borders of a large private property, the idea of someone or something being powerful enough to bespell an entire town? Well, he was pretty sure the dark lord wasn't that powerful. ]

You're not making any sense to me. What do you mean by, 'as far as you're aware'? Is she being held captive?
