...I don't know what I ought to do. Staying here seems as equally dangerous as putting trust in what the visitors say.

Suppose...a lot of others are having that same dilemma.

...

What's everyone else doing?

Don't, Neville. Just don't. Please.

[snake_slayer]

Don't..what?

[charmedillusion]

Don't go with them. It...it seems much too good to be true. I couldn't bear it if anything happened to you.

[snake_slayer]

Oh...no, I won't. I'll stay. I mean, I'd only go if you and the others were, but...whatever you're doing.

[charmedillusion]

Oh, good! We'll manage somehow, no matter what happens. The important thing is that we're all together, right?

[snake_slayer]

Ri-right! And the apartment's warded, and everyone else can do defensive magic, if it comes down to it..

[charmedillusion]

See? We're covered. Sounds like we have nothing to worry about!

[snake_slayer]

Except..unless we've failed to take something into account.

[charmedillusion]

Which is a definite possibility.

What if we sat down with everyone and talked everything out? Just to make sure we've covered all our bases.

[snake_slayer]

I..all right, that could work. We should do that soon.

[charmedillusion]

I think so, too. It's always good to have a backup plan...or two or three.
