The Capsule Will Know: Neville’s Final Speech from “Forgotten Hands” (Round 3 Script)

This is the official in-game script for the climactic moment of the mystery deduction game “The Forgotten Hands” — part of the Jack Righteous Universe’s Hogwarts Fellowship crossover. Use this scene as the dramatic turning point of Round 3 when the memory capsule activates its defense mechanism and the players must identify the silent betrayer.

🎙️ Neville Longbottom’s Final Round 3 Speech

Setting: Room of Requirement. The capsule pulses red. The magical atmosphere shifts. All players are gathered as the enchantments begin to close. Neville Longbottom steps forward and speaks, addressing everyone in the room.

NEVILLE (somber, composed):
This isn’t how I hoped this would end. But Hogwarts… remembers. It always has.

The capsule is reacting — not to magic, but to motive. To trust broken.

It doesn’t need spells to shut itself down. It only needs to sense that someone, somewhere, turned against what it was meant to protect.

I’ve seen this before — in artifacts from the war. Emotional enchantments. Magic bound not to wands, but to choices.

Right now, it’s fading. The memory is pulling away.

Someone here — and I don’t know who — has done something, knowingly or not, that triggered the seal.

You have five minutes. No more.

Decide. Together. If you can name who caused the breach — even if they meant no harm — the capsule may trust you enough to reopen.

If you guess wrong…

…the memory is gone.

(Pause. Looks to each player.)

You don’t have to be right about the why. Just the who.

You can speak now. But when it’s time — you’ll write the name. One vote each.

Hogwarts will know if you choose with courage or with fear.
