Neville POV
After 2 hours Neville had got really bored with no company except Ron.
Ron was complaining that he was hungry.
Neville saw an old working clock beside him. He picked it up.
He watched as the clock struck 11 in the night.
'We have to wait... for harry. This won't do. Or...'
'We peep out watch any Malfoy roaming around and... use my extreme skills in disguising us.'
'Not a good plan. Better than no plan' muttered Ron.

A while later...
'I don't even know what aur names are...' muttered Neville.
'So disgusting to dress like a Malfoy.'
'I guess we are charmed up. Now let's make a run for it...'
'There are two staircases. Which do we take?' asked Ron.
'We should always follow the right path.' said Neville putting emphasis on right...
He took the right stair case and went down... But were blocked by a woman.
'Scorpius? Furious? Didn't you two just return to your rooms?'
'We forgot some paper-' Neville started.
'Yeah I was about to give you those.' said the woman handing neville some papers to look at which made no sense to him... Absolute gibberish...
'Now where are you going? You got the papers, right?'
'Have to check up on Dad.' Neville said not really knowing what he said.
'He's gone out to meet Potter, right?'
Neville stopped in his tracks.
Ron also experienced a moment of silence...
Were Harry and Draco even in the Manor?...
'Wait a minute... Who are you...?'
Neville noticed his dissapearance was fading. So was ron's...
'Imperio' Neville casted praying this wouldn't be recorded by the ministry... No it wouldn't... Neville's wand wasn't registered in this dimension...
Which meant he could practically use any curse on any one...
'Show us the exit'
The women moved forward and started walking.
'Is it worth?'
'I don't know' answered Neville.
'This is the worst idea ever...'
'This I know. I am used to them.' said Neville, then started following the woman...
***
They could see the exit clearly...
'Stephanie. Where are you?' came a voice from the balcony above...
The woman came out of her daze...
Then Neville did what he had never done... what he never thought he was capable to do...
He said the curse in his mind- the imperius curse...
As the woman swiped a card and opened the door, Neville saw a Malfoy come down the stairs.
'Now. It's time. To run for it.'
Ron nodded.
They ran and apparated to a place... Hogsmeade...
Unfortunately Neville apparated into Hogsmeade while Ron apparated somewhere else...
'The hell with being separated.' he muttered. Then walked along...
He didn't know what to do but the first thing he knew...
He was going to have a firewhiskey...
