Oh, yes. I think Todd said something about that. [He knows a little more but since Neville seems aware, there's no use retreading old ground.]

I don't think you have to solve this alone. You said it didn't seem like magic so perhaps it's up to some of the others.

Why would it be your responsibility if it were magic? Are you the only... magician here? [That doesn't sound quite right even to his ears, but he wouldn't stumble on the right term.]
