"I don't know, I have discovered a few useful things here and there, but Sam's actions have occupied me recently, to be honest." You say.

Tooledge gives a thoughtful nod, clasing his long vainy hands together.

"Terrible business" he says, silence ensues until you think he's done with you "I'm rooting for you to win the contest. The trident will have to be taken to the ministry for evaluation and brought back here for safe keeping. Such a find however will most likely assure the house cup for this year's house, if the information you have given me is correct a student from each house has been chosen to take part in this contest."

See people ? Why, why the fuck did you even consider telling this to the headmaster, if you know it is one of the 4 fucking superartefacts from the time of the creation of the houses.

The choice was simple.
Keep mouth shut, keep trident
Talk about it, surrender it to authorities.

You nod, smile and leave, a new energy fuelling you to be the first to find the Trident before the others. You descend the stairs about make your way to double muggle studies class.

Professor Orchard, a little balding man with a fat belly, hardly notices you enter his class late. You take a seat at the back and watch on as the Muggle monetary system is explained to you as well as charming little things called "Telephones" work.

I think it's suspicious that right after we say that Sam's actions have troubled us, that he says "Terrible business", pauses, and then tells us to win the Trident. And that whoever gets the Trident will in all likelihood win the House Cup for the year.
Taken by itself, Sam's poisoning of Slytherin to gain back Hufflepuff's glory doesn't make sense. But add in the context of the contest, of bumping off competition, in a contest that will win back glory for the House by acquiring the House Cup, and it makes more sense.

You manage to past the end of lesson test by the skin of your teeth. You find it remarkably interesting how some muggle technologies aren't able to work around magic, something like a telephone would come in highly useful afterall.

Leave it open that we might be badgered into it.
But we must have been forced to go to social gatherings and parties by our parents before Hogwart's; this will be just like them. We'll be badgered into going, we'll go, make the necessary and absolute minimum required social interaction as befits our social station, and otherwise be in quiet conversation with Elise.
We don't like most of these people, but we know when we are expected to suffer for the purposes of social expectations.

It's always been first roll so far.

Reading up on the Trident there is a listed event of when it was used in Hogwarts. According to a very old book you found detailing the history of the Slytherin house, Rowena Ravenclaw had the Trident stolen from her possession by Salazar so he could covet her knowledge.

As for the Mannequin you get very lucky. You discover that it is possible to capture spirits and other otherworldly ethers in crystal balls. What's more the entity inside the ball has a degree of control over it...muggles have been known to find these crystal spirit orbs and use them for theatricality.

If you were to build a clockwork mannequin with an orb heart in the middle you might just be able to give Nathaniel the body he desires.

Ah nvm, found it.

>>23384250
And yet, it appears to be the same kind of cavalier attitude that many of the professors take in the setting.
They act as if all of the students can simply resleave themselves from memory backups if something goes wrong.

>>23385818
Well, in their defense, magical healing is available and easy. If it doesn't kill you immediately, it probably won't at all. Not that this is a good excuse for such negligence, mind you.

>>23386172
>Not that this is a good excuse for such negligence, mind you.
Actually, when you think about it, such a casual disregard for safety, combined with the easy availability of effective magical healing and the kind of knowledge being imparted, it makes sense and is actually kind of a good excuse.

They're showing how carelessness, combined with the powers and magical creatures that even First Years wield and interact with, can result in painful injuries and even near-death.

Because, aside from the Professors, I don't recall any Wizard or Witch being so careless outside the walls of Hogwarts. Maybe it's all part of a very hands-on and direct policy of showing students the consequences of negligence in the wizarding workplace.

>>23386980
You know, I kinda like that. Like social darwinism without the croaking.

It's alternate universe if I'm not mistaken, HP never happened or will not happen. There is no Voldemort. I think it was mentioned a few times in the archives.

>>23392846
Tbh, when I first saw it I mostly thought "meh, more HP fanfic", but the drawfagging lured me in. You made me stay up until 2 am yesterday from reading through all of the archives while my head was constantly screaming to go to sleep because I have to wake up at 6:25. I think that more or less conveys how much I like it.
I've been meaning to get back into a regular quest. I've been following Digimon quest but it's weekly, runs on a time I can't join and Gale has some trouble with writing fast enough imo, so not much happens during each thread (though he's been improving).

>>23392940

Is there a regular time for HPQuest, or does it just sort of run when you feel like it?
