nearlychosen[Perhaps the journal picks up the sound of Neville's arrival as he is unceremoniously deposited on the icy southern lake sometime in the dead of night. If not that, then it might catch the dull groaning as he slowly wakes and struggles to pull himself upright. If not that, then certainly the furious squeak from sneakers lacking traction on slippery ice would catch the journal's attention, as would the dull thudding as Neville collides with some child's forgotten snowman on the westernmost bank. A sharp intake of breath, then] No wand. Bastards. [In fact, even though Neville hasn't yet noticed the presence of the book at all, he seems perfectly aware that someone is listening, even if it isn't quite who he expects.]
It's still not enough! [The words, though a bit rasped and wheezing, are spoken with the stubbornness of one who rather expected this displacement.] You think you can just Portkey me someplace and be done with it? You won't get me -- not any of us -- to back down that easily. I know you're here -- show yourselves, you bloody cowards!
[The dead silence is less than encouraging. It means that if he wasn't being watched, then he'd been sent far enough that he wouldn't need supervision. Accio wand. [The incantation is intoned softly through clenched teeth. It doesn't escape him how ironic it was that in his desperation to recover his stolen wand he's resorted to a summoning spell that usually required the use of his wand in the first place. The spell fails spectacularly, leaving Neville to suppose his captors laughed, wherever they happen to be.
Still, the place he'd been sent certainly merits some investigation. If he'd been sent here via portkey, then some other innocuous-looking thing might well be the ticket home. It might appear off for a young, underdressed, blackeyed, fairly beaten and emaciated man to be picking up small stones with a thoughtful expression, but finding an alternate portkey is simply the most plausible way back to the more important matters he'd left at home.]

Date: 2010-02-14 04:40 am (UTC)[But that means Draco can't be stupid and try to drown Neville in it.] That's a bit of a sore spot between us, from before we made that truce. I do know that it's one of his favorite places to go, and I suspected he thinks it might be his. If he finds you there before he knows you're here, he'll probably try to act like he hasn't changed at all.
[Voice]
Date: 2010-02-14 05:15 am (UTC)[He'll certainly have a chance to do it come springtime.] It's also possible that he hasn't.
[Voice]
Date: 2010-02-14 05:31 am (UTC)[Not if Harry has anything to say about it
11 times.] I think he has. He's still a prat, but he's definitely helped me out more than once. I trust him, but I really hope I can get a hold of him before he does something stupid.[Voice]
Date: 2010-02-14 06:56 am (UTC)[
But who's counting?] You've been away, Harry. You don't understand. He's just using you.[Voice]
Date: 2010-02-14 07:18 am (UTC)[
I only did for the one thread. >>;] I've seen some things you probably haven't. Even if he was using me, I doubt he'd go to the trouble of what he did.[Voice]
Date: 2010-02-14 08:20 am (UTC)[
And it was glorious.] Unless he went through the trouble just so you'd owe him a favor later.[Voice]
Date: 2010-02-15 01:13 am (UTC)[
/bows] It was a lot of trouble for him to go to. I'd owe him more than one favor at this point. [This is never going to end well. Harry gives the neck chain another tug in hopes that he can head Draco off at the pass.][Threadjack Action technically?]
Date: 2010-02-15 01:16 am (UTC)[Ooh yeah...Draco's already seen Neville and he's really not that pleased. He's even less pleased when he feels his neck chain bite at him. The first time he managed to ignore, but he should have known he couldn't avoid it forever. So, in complete retaliation, he just pulls the chain right back a bit harder.]
[Suddenly Draco Malfoy Action]
Date: 2010-02-15 01:25 am (UTC)[Harry is a bit hopeful and inevitably annoyed at the tug back. He'll give Draco a harder tug in response, hoping that Draco will get the hint. Even though it's already happened, Harry still wants to try and stop them from hating on each other.]
[Somewhere far-off Draco is Sulking Action]
Date: 2010-02-15 01:28 am (UTC)[Unfortunately, no, Draco's not getting what the hint is beyond Potter's being annoying, again. He tugs even harder then, hoping to get him to quit. Don't you get it, Scarhead? He wants to sulk in peace. At his lake.]
[Meanwhile Harry is Headdesking Action]
Date: 2010-02-15 01:41 am (UTC)[Harry is not going to quit. You can't hear him swearing but FEEL THE BITE, BLONDIE. Harry does not want to have to fish anyone out of a lake or clean up explosions.]
[Suddenly Draco's Frustrated and Bitching in Voice]
Date: 2010-02-15 01:43 am (UTC)[Busy swearing himself because jfc, that hurts the more Harry retaliates. So instead, he grabs for his journal and opens it]
What the hell do you want?
[Harry Potter and the Extraordinarily Irritated Voice from the Journal]
Date: 2010-02-15 01:55 am (UTC)We need to talk.
[Draco Malfoy and the Stubborn Voice Fight]
Date: 2010-02-15 01:57 am (UTC)No. I don't think we do.
[Harry Potter and the Voice of Reason]
Date: 2010-02-15 02:02 am (UTC)It's important.
[Draco Malfoy and the Voice That Kind of Whines]
Date: 2010-02-15 02:03 am (UTC)[Harry Potter and the Voice that Wishes His Friends Would Get Along]
Date: 2010-02-15 02:07 am (UTC)[Draco Malfoy and the Voice That Will Fight to the End]
