13th Gryffindor Note [action for housemates / voice]
[Hermione's day is just like any normal day, except for one major difference: When she gets back home, she notices there's something she hasn't seen in months wandering around the apartment. Electrical appliances. What on earth are they doing here? So of course she investigates. Housemates are welcome to stumble upon her or they can wait for the

[Maybe Hermione should explain things like this to the pureblood and wizard-raised teens she lives with... her or Harry. One of them. QUICK.]

They are, but you must be careful.

Are you sure? I don't think they'll come to life like the armor does at Hogwarts.

[She's letting the stove eye she was levitating settle back to the stove as she motions to the vegetable bin.]
We know how to take care of those; shall we?

[Aaaand the Muggle-born arrives about in time to see Luna stop levitating the stove eye. Oh boy. Time to assess the situation.]
Neville, you're going to catch cold. It's not a boggart; it's a refrigerator and it keeps food cold. Luna, be careful with the stove eyes. If it's on when you do that, you might blow the whole place up. And just because these things don't come to life like the armor at Hogwarts doesn't mean it can't be dangerous.

[He flinches at the mention of blowing things up, though. Have they been saddled with weapons?]

Perhaps mice and small birds? It sounds like that could be its choice, if it had a choice to make. Do you think boggarts eat anything? Some creatures can't think for themselves, after all, so I don't think they much care what they eat if they have to eat.
[She's totally going to peer into the refrigerator now and poke the light bulb in the ceiling with the end of her wand. Just be glad she's not actively casting anything yet.]
Is this its eye?

[fajhdsflhjfads LUNA. Brb preparing to take drastic measures.] Stop poking things with your wands. [She will Disarm you if you guys don't give her a chance to explain!] You're going to make it explode.
It's not a creature. It's a machine. They're what Muggles use in place of magic, but even though it isn't magic doesn't mean it can't explode like magic.
[Lunaaaaa...] That's a lightbulb, not an eye. It's what lights the area so you can see, like Lumos for us. And if the lightbulb has been on long enough, it'll be hot enough to burn you, so be careful.

[And she goes to open the vegetable bin - with her hand at least.]

It's not magic and yes, compared to wizarding things, they are very noisy.
[See that, Luna? That's the face Hermione makes when she's warring with herself over whether or not to argue the point that your little creatures do. not. exist. Lucky for you, she's deciding the explanation's not worth the effort.]
Right... Just be careful.
[though she's now going to point out the microwave, oven, and stove.]
These are the ones you really have to be careful with. If you aren't, you're likely to set the whole place on fire.

[Except... there could be. Luna raises her wand and casts a simple spell - a transport spell - at the logs still stacked outside the house for the fireplaces. One starts casually flying indoors.]
We'll fix that.

Luna, don't-!
[Oh... well... that looks relatively- oh Merlin, Luna what?]
Luna, really, wood is not necessary for most Muggle appliances. The only thing you'd need any for would be a fireplace.
[And she whips out her wand in an effort to stop the wood from getting any further in.]
