ten_fwd | From Malfoy Manor To Outer Space? (OTA, TW for torture and its effects)

At that moment in Ten Forward a young woman was winked into a world very different from the world she knew as a witch.

Her jeans were badly frayed, her sweater badly damaged and hanging onto a much too thin frame. Her hair was badly tangled and she was covered in cuts and bruises. She also looks like she's not slept in ages among other problems. Anyone could see something had happened before Q winkled her aboard the Enterprise but how bad was it?

But a couple of things would stand out despite the darkness: the wand currently tucked behind a few loose strands of blonde hair and especially the jewelry. Mostly since not many people would openly wear what looked to be a pair of radishes as earrings.

But when Luna Lovegood realized she was not in Malfoy Manor or even the Wizarding World her eyes seemed to regain some of that lost light. "So curious! Maybe there are crumple horned snorkacks or even moon frogs here!" she weakly giggled. But she kept a very wary eye on the scene around her, a Death Eater could be lurking around any corner ready to hurt her once again (she was skittish but with very good reason). Thankfully she knew her wand was within reach but her wrist was also killing her pain wise.

She did eventually whisper,"Harry? Ron? Hermione? Anyone here?"

Being a witch Luna was not phased in the least by ghosts, especially friendly ones. "Quite all right sir, I have this feeling none of my friends are here." she mused. But for some reason this ghost reminded her of Nearly Headless Nick, the house ghost from Gryffindor.

"Good opportunity to make new ones, then," he offered. "Would you like something to eat?"

"Always." Luna had to smile. She also was honestly not sure if she could keep anything down but knew she had to at least try,"Maybe some chips?" she asked. She also added,"I'm Luna."

"I was thinking more ice cream," he shrugged, but he'd get her her chips. Ice cream was just easier on a stomach, good for energy and didn't taste terribly bad even if she couldn't keep it down. "I'm Bob. Bob Fraser."

"I've missed ice cream." Luna mused aloud with an almost dreamy look in her eyes. She finally asked Bob,"So where am I? Did our spell backfire and I land in the wrong place?"

"This is a starship called the Enterprise," he said, summoning the waiter to a table where he pulled out a chair for Luna. "And unless you count 'backfired' as attracting the attention of an omnipotent being, then no, you were brought here by someone named 'Q'."

Luna gratefully accepted the offered chair. But her eyes seemed to regain some light at the idea of a starship,"To be truthful I was sure that our apparition spell had simply backfired."

He had the waiter bring some chips and ice cream for good measure.

"Not as easy as all that, I'm afraid," he replied, not too nonplussed about the unfamiliar term. It didn't really matter that he didn't really understand - he got the gist. "I don't know why, but Q seemed to think bringing people here from all and sundry was a good idea."

"So there's more than just me?" Luna was curious as she attempted to eat. But the months in the manor had taken a toll and them some,"If its proper to ask, are there other magic users on board?" she asked.

"I'm sure there are," he replied. "I don't know their names though, sorry. But there are people who can do things that wouldn't be considered 'normal', whatever that means."

"Magic being one of them hopefully." Luna was a bit wishful, mostly since at the moment she missed her friends and her father. "Want to see a simple spell?" she offered, knowing there was a few low grade and routine spells she could cast as a way to explain her world a bit better.

He nodded. "Oh, if you'd like," he said, with a smile. He delighted in learning new things.

"Routine transfiguration spell, I'll simply charm my wand so it looks to be a chopstick." as Luna casts the very routine spell. The wand seemed to transform into a chopstick as she explained,"I usually use this to keep my wand near but it avoids some of the worst questions."

He looked at it in fascination as it changed. "Worst questions?" he asked.

"Sometimes people just don't understand magic." Luna explained. "A chopstick lets people that won't understand think its simply a fashion choice." as she turned the chopstick back into her wand and slipped it back into her hair for safe keeping.

Bob's first thought is 'you can't eat with that'. "I was never one for 'fashion'," he admitted.
