[sdkhskj Still not comprehending.]

Ron... [Breathe.] Where are you?

[Confused voice is oh so confused.]

Uh, I'm in the flat. Just got home from work a bit ago. Why? Something wrong?

[She's equally confused.]

People have been arriving all day. It's like a flood of New Feathers...

[She'd been hoping you were one.]

Of New-... of what? What are you talking about? I haven't seen any newcomers lately. Maybe your little device has gone wonky again.

[She sounds almost desperate.]

But how can you use the journals if you aren't here... maybe one of the community housing apartments looks like your flat. [Please be here, Ron... even if she'd never wish this place on anyone... she needs to see you.]

[Okay, now he definitely sounds way beyond confused.]

Wh-.... I am here, Hermione! I'm sitting right here in our flat. Where are you?

[Oh, please say you're in World's End, Hermione. If you don't, Ron might just panic. A lot.]

[She's just going to sound lost now.]

I'm by one of the lakes... in the snow. It's pretty out. If it weren't so cold, it'd be good flying weather.

One of-? I don't know where-... listen, you know better than to go wandering off after dark around here. It's dangerous. There've been Dementors out lately, and I don't want....

[Waitaminute... Hermione does know better. Something's off here.]

Hermione, I think you should come inside. Quick.

Dementors? There aren't dementors in Luceti, Ron. There's nothing out here aside from Riddle and the snow, but neither of them are causing too much damage right now. I have the DA papers, and I've worked out how to send a messenger Patronus.

[That sound right there? That's the sound of Ron's train of thought stopping in its tracks.]

Luceti? Riddle? What are you talking about? We're in... well... I'm in World's End, and you are, too, and so are Harry and Malfoy and please tell me you know what I'm talking about because things have been really weird here lately and you telling me that I'm not making any sense is the very last thing I need.

[It was too much to hope for.]

I've never heard of that, Ron... I'm in Luceti... It's weird enough here with all these new people wandering around...

But... but you're here. I was just with you. We had that... that talk the other night and....

Blimey, don't tell me this is one of those alternate whatevers at work again.

[She's blushing...]

You haven't been here for a month, Ron. Maybe longer. I've lost count.

[And then a sigh.] I hate this place.

[He's on the verge of flailing right now. He could deal with two Harrys, and maybe even two Hermiones, but the idea of there being a duplicate Ron running around is just freaky.]

Me? I... I was there? Really? I....

Well, look, if there aren't any Dementors where you are, and if you can just go out at night on your own without worrying about being attacked by monsters, then you're a bit better off there than where I am, okay? I just... Merlin, this is weird.

For a little bit you were...

Ron...

Riddle's here. It's not exactly safe.

[Whoa, wait, Riddle? As in, an actual person and not just some sort of puzzle that she's working on?]

Tom Riddle? What... how?! Isn't he... doesn't he become... You-Know-Who?

Yes, but he's sixteen here. And I think he knows more than he should.

... a sixteen-year-old Tom Riddle, living alongside Hermione Granger and knowing more than he should. You didn't let anything slip, did you?

[Have an annoyed huff.]

No. I didn't.

It's not my fault he used Legilimency on me about his wand.

[You were about to get a bit of scoffing thrown at you until you mentioned that big L-word.]

Wait, what? He did... you....

Where the hell is Harry?! If I'm not there to keep this sort of thing from happening, then shouldn't Harry be somewhere about to protect you?

[....Wrong big L-word. Damn.]

Don't go blaming Harry, either. I told the DA as soon as I headed to meet Riddle, but the papers didn't show the message for an entire hour. Luceti and the barrier tampered with the Protean Charm I used. [she sounds soooo pissed about this. >T Nothing's allowed to mess with her charms!]

[You're going way over his head on so many levels right now.]

Wha-... wait, so the DA...? Dumbledore's Army? Who all... I mean, they're there, with you? Neville and Ginny and the whole lot, or what? And what barrier? If you've got enough people with you to form another version of the DA, then how did Riddle get to you in the first place?

[Don't we do that normally, though?]

Not everyone, no. It's Harry, Luna, Cho, and I so far.. and Draco, too. Lupin and Tonks are here for the Order... and Harry's mum, though she's our age.

The barrier's around Luceti. It's not of our doing. Anyone can get in, but we can't get out.

[Yeah, but he doesn't have food to distract himself from things this time ~~yet~~.]

... Draco Malfoy? You're... you're on a first name basis with him now? [Why yes, that is undisguised disgust in his voice.]

I'm pretty sure you can figure out a way to reverse the barrier though, right? I mean, I've been banking on you to get me and Harry out of World's End. The other you, I mean.

[True...

[She sighs. Should have expected that.] He's different here and we all have to work together against Riddle, Ron.

I'm looking into it, but I haven't found anything useful yet.

...I hope you get out of there.
