One ♣ action

[truebravery]

[Upon waking up, Neville slowly comes to realise three very important things.
1. He's in some kind of muggle house, in someone else's pyjamas.
2. He doesn't have his wand.
3. It doesn't matter either way because he can't do magic.

Three has him the most worried, and anyone inside 456 Stone Street will find him venturing cautiously about the house

[Wanders in from the kitche-- Oh dear.]

I suppose you're the newest addition to the household. What's your name, young one?

[truebravery]

[Brandishing the chair at the sound of movement, Neville feels quite awkward when it turns out to be a lady.

While she doesn't look dangerous, Neville doesn't set the chair down yet] I- well. Uh. I'm Neville.

[muskatli]

Why hello, Neville! I'm going to be your new parent here from now on, so why don't you put that chair down?

[truebravery]

I already have parents, thank you. [still holding the chair 8|]

[muskatli]

I know, and I don't have any children in actuality. But that's how it has to be if we're going to survive in this town.

[truebravery]

Survive? [he frowns] What's surviving got to do with this nonsense about families?

[muskatli]

None of us are here of our own free will. Someone's kidnapped the lot of us and thrown out into houses, or families. I they feel we're not acting the part, then we get punished for it.

Droning is what they do to you. You act as a mindless, brainwashed version of yourself.

[truebravery]

[he frowns more] For how long?

[muskatli]

Until we find a way out of here.

[truebravery]

Oh- no. I meant how long does this... drone-ing go on for?

[muskatli]

It depends on your offense. Some people are droned forever.

Would you please calm down? I'm not going to hurt you.

[truebravery]

[)8 FOREVER?

and Neville realises he's still got there chair. Which he sets down.] S-sorry- There were people trying to hurt me in the place I left. I wasn't sure if it was safe here.

[muskatli]

I'm sorry as well. It seems that most people who arrive here are those who are leaving something horrible behind, at home.

How about I make you some breakfast? Do you like eggs?
