"Do you know anything?" you ask

Joel shrugs "Not really, I was one of the first students to enter the great hall"

"So why did they ask you?"
"I'm not sure. Like I said it was probably because I was one of the first"
"Was anyone else with you?"
"I was alone. There were a few other students and teachers, why do you care so much?"

>>23419530
I was about to say, "Nigel? Seriously? You got a thing for plebeian squirrels?"

"I'm concerned about Nigel" you say.

Joel rests a hand on your shoulder. "So am I" he says, "where is he anyway?"

You scan the party and find Nigel sitting alone next to the snacks. He's looking pretty downbeat.

"Lets go cheer him up" says Joel

We may not hate Nigel any more, but he's still far from liked.

CRITICAL FUMBLE

You wander over to Nigel with Joel and see to cheering him up. Whilst in low spirits at the start of the party you manage to coax him out of his shell and let him have a good time. You're sort of thankful that you have something to do at the party instead of sitting there and looking presentable like your old family parties.

"Thanks Millie-I-eh-Millicent" says Nigel, correcting himself as he stifles a yawn. The party has died down to a crawl as a large portion of the Ravenclaw's and their guests have gone to bed.

You sit in a tired slump with Joel, Nigel and Olivia.

"How are you finding Hogwarts?" asks Joel as he munches away on some crisps.

"It's...different. Better than home. Sometimes it can be-" you finish you tangeant by mumbling "-sort of fun..."

Give. It. Time.

You consider taking out your wand and using it to levitate him through a pane of glass. This seems tiresome so you simply nod weakly and mumble "are we really doing this?" before staying completely silent.

Joel's arms squeeze even tighter. "Yep"

The party comes to an end as you can barely keep your eyes open. You ascend to your dorm, giving curt goodbyes to Nigel and Joel.

Olivia is asleep in seconds as she falls face first onto the bed. You manage to stay awake enough to wish Elise good night and to cuddle with Tara for a little while.

You awake the following morning and join Olivia and the others to breakfast in the Great Hall. Nigel seems to be in better spirits after last night, though you can tell Sam's poisoning is still playing on his mind.

>>23420421
I wanna give it time, but I dont see how it would work intrinsicly. It seems to me that we are playing a story that begs for a protagonist who isnt us, we are the subject of the plot, rather than the one that should expirience it.

>>23420382
We came out of our shell for Maud, and Olivia is already in the 'Friend' category (albeit at the low end) and on the track to entering Best Friend (Human) territory within a month or two.
I think we're making extraordinary progress for only 3 days.
It hasn't even been a week yet, after all.

Are you actually asking for a DMPC railroad?

>>23420452
We have Tara with us, right?

>>23420452
Please let us bring Tara with us today. It would be good for her to stretch her legs a little, and get to know the Hogwarts grounds.

The owls arrive and throw down copies of the daily prophet and parcels for those who'se parents haven't completely abandoned them. You've decided to let Tara follow you around today, she hisses as the owls soar overhead.

On the front page of the prophet you can see a moving image of a crowd of people protesting outside the ministry of magic.

"What's a squib?" asks Olivia, confused.

"If she can't do magic...what does she do? Live like one of those 'muggles'?" you say, genuinely baffled.

Nigel waves a dismissive hand. "She works in a pub in London, she's a waitress" he leans forward on the table, taking a bite out of a slice of toast.

"Squibs are 'valuable contributers to magical society'"

"Then why are they protesting?" asks Olivia.
"Because they think the ministry knows how to give them magic like normal wizards"

You convincingly half-lie, telling them you have made a commitment to your studies and already have plans to help the gameskeeper with Joel and Professor Bergle. If you're honest however there is something about Harriet's can-do nature that just irks you the wrong way.

"Oh, okay" she says, a little let down "I'll see you give later on then, bye"

The bell rings for first period. Flying Practice with Professor Bergle by the outer grounds. Tara tries sitting on your shoulder but that quickly fails as you walk out of the great hall. As you walk you resort to holding Tara round her chest in a bear hug to your chest, she seems pretty content with this.

As you walk to the outer grounds with the gang you notice Nathaniel's ghostly form floating down the corridor.
