-must be one of those felly-tones Dad told me about. Stupid piece of Muggle technology! How is anyone supposed to remember the code to get it to work?
Ugh, useless.

What's a Muggle?

What? Who said that?
[He seems to figure out that his discarded device has been turned on, and he begins to speak very loudly and distinctly into it.]
Er. What. Do. You. Mean. By. Different. Exactly?

Different, another dimension, another reality, a different and unique world. This is not the world you grew up in.

Oh, er, sorry. I'm sort of new at this.
So... you mean someone Apparated me out of the UK? Or out of Europe? I'm not sure I follow....

No, it's not a phone, it's a computer, far more useful than half your magic too.

Another... what? I'm sorry. I don't quite....
So you're not Muggles?

Another one of you bunch, from the wizardry school Hogwarts. There's more of your kind lurking around the halls here.
No, I am not a Muggle, and that's a stupid word. Acting like your another ethnic group or species.

All right, then, I'll find the others and ask them what's going on!
What, it's a real word. It gets tiresome calling someone 'non-magical' all the time.

Where are you?

HARRY? Is it really you? There must be loads to go on about, if you didn't have time to write all holiday. Did you bring me here? I'm outside this big castle-looking place. It's dark, which is really strange, since it was just daylight a few minutes ago and it's really good to hear your voice but Mum will kill me if she finds me gone without having told her.

[Determinedly does not sound upset about that. Nope.]
Something strange is going on here, but I'll tell you all about it, I promise. I'll be right out to find you - try to stick close to the building, no telling what's in the forest.

'No telling what's in the....' Oh, why'd you have to go and say something like that, Harry? Hurry out, and show me how to shut this cop-muter thing off. It's bad enough out here without having strange voices talking at me through the dark.

Either way, you're in a nice big mansion with free food for everyone. It's pretty grand when they place isn't torturing us. Make yourself at home!

Free food? That sounds quite nice! But, er... torture? As in... with pain?
Reply
It is nice! Anything you could want is in the kitchens. Unfortunately, the torment isn't quite as nice. You just missed the most recent bit, so you're pretty lucky there!
Reply
Well... food is always good, I suppose. But if there's torment and other nasty things in here, wouldn't it be smart to... leave?

I'm Coraline Jones! I'm a muggle but I was a witch for a weekend once, and I was a Gryffindor!
Reply
Wait, you were a witch for a weekend? How does that work?

An event happened! That's what happens here in Wonderland...the mansion changes, we even change sometimes, and everybody went to Hogwarts here, it was so cool!
...But it only lasted a weekend.
Reply
All right, I think I'm going to need this explained to me very slowly. So... an event of some kind passed, turning you into a Hogwarts student for a weekend...?
