How Long Could You Survive as A Muggle?

The rapid growth of the fog these past few weeks, and now the darkness, have brought about a pressing issue: How are we to live without magic? It does not matter who you are - your gender, your class, or your age - the lack of magic affects us all. It isn't just a mild inconvenience, it hinders us and makes daily task take far longer. So now, with the fog showing no sign of fading away, and now the darkness that covers us in Hogsmeade and Irvingly, the question arise just how long can we live without magic?

Do you know off the top of your head where your everyday items are - hats, gloves, parasols?
A) Down to the exact spot all the time
B) I know the general area in which I left them
C) Typically I know what room they are in
D) I almost always have to summon them to me

How often do you walk to where you need to go?
A) Everywhere
B) I walk for the most part but occasionally I travel by magical means
C) I rarely walk, but I could if it came to it
D) Never - I would even apparate to another room

How well can you cook without magic?
A) I never use magic to cook
B) I will use magic to speed it up but primarily do it all without
C) I will do a few details by hand but most is done with magic
D) Not at all, I wouldn't even be sure how to

Have you ever forgotten your wand before?
A) I cannot remember the last time I had it
B) I've forgotten it quite often
C) I think I've forgotten it a day or two
D) It never leaves my possession

Do your hobbies involve any sort of acts magic on your part?
A) No, I spend most of my time doing things like reading or playing the piano
B) A little, I spend most of my time doing things like painting or playing chess that could be done without magic if I chose too
C) A lot, I spend most of my time doing things like potion making or divination
D) Entirely, I spend most of my time doing things that would not exist without magic like dueling or quidditch

What type of career is your husband or family in?
A) A store management position or something similar
B) A desk based job in the Ministry
C) A healer or field biased work for the Ministry
D) A teacher at Hogwarts or some other wizarding school

Mostly A's: You might has well been living as a muggle this whole time. This fog really hasn't impacted your daily life and you have gotten along far better than most of you family and neighbors. You could continue to live without magic without a struggle.
Mostly B's: The adjustment to living without magic hasn't been without it's road blocks but for the most part it has gone very smoothly. Should the fog continue to hover, it will only take you a bit more time to adjust but you should have little to no issue.
Mostly C's: Once the fog hit, you hit a lot of road blocks once the fog hit. You keep reaching for your wand and forgetting that nothing will happen. Adjusting to no magic has been a struggle and still is. You could possibly adjust over time to living like a muggle, however, it would likely take you months if not years.
Mostly D's: The likelihood that you will ever adjust is slim to none. We would highly recommend you take the first oppertunity you can to leave to an area like London or a family country home where you could live with all the magical comforts.
