The instant the bell rings for the end of the lesson you're out of the class like lightning. You shoot down the hallways with Tara running by your side as you push open the heavy set doors to the library where you can be alone.

Or so you thought. Maud sits alone on a desk reading a spellbook. She turns and looks at you.

"Oh. My. God"

You run like the wind and turn on your heels to make a break for it...

No worries, thanks for posting it anyways. I missed it in the previous threads.

Something to follow while my car gets fixed yay! God I hope I can leave soon, been here for 3 hours.

You don't get far as magical rope wraps around your waist. You fall back onto your butt as Maud tugs you back into the library as you try to wrangle yourself free. With another flourish of her wand the ropes tighten to the extent you can't move your arms from your sides.

Pulling you down a deserted isle Maud can't help but keep the fascination from her face.

"This has to be some kind of potion" she says "looking good"

I don't think saying you had potions is too much trouble. Anything to make her let us go.

"It was Professor Trib" you say "and it doesn't 'have' to be a potion, not that I want anyone staring at me. Does she do this to all her students?"

Maud laughs and sits on the floor beside you against the bookshelf.

"Ah" she says, putting the pieces of the puzzle together "you're 'that' student"

Maud goes onto explain that Professor Trib is notorious for picking on the same student in each class to test out her potions.

"As far as anyone can tell she doesn't realise she does it" Maud says "however I have found her method does give students the proper common-sense needed when approaching dangerous potions"

Maybe she likes looking like that? Freaks out all the students, and you can always slap a charisma potion on yourself when you need to.

I really hope it's not a mine-field, like... she's naturally this horrible looking. Wouldn't it hurt you if you knew people were spreading rumours that you were actually cursed? That's like, they can't imagine someone like her, so they invent a reason why she looks that way.

This

>>23470115
>Why?We should be using this one-time-occasion for proving our superiority and else.

AFAICT Millicent doesn't have a compulsion to be superior.

Though I'd like that to be triggered as an anti-Slytherin mechanism when all this sorting business comes to a climax. "I will show you, pitiful and weak Slytherins, WHY it is that I am in Ravenclaw! I will raise this house to greatness, and it starts with grinding down your hopes of ever winning the House Cup ever again!"

>>23470032
>Does it bother you people?

No, it doesn't bother me at all. Someone should edit it with the quest relevant character. That would be great

>>23470115
It's not true superiority if we're having to use a potion as a crutch. At least our robe we have a right to, as it's a symbol of our rich heritage as pure blooded wizards. This we stumbled upon be being too weak to avoid sneezing in class.

"How do I not get to be 'that' student?" you say in a huff "I don't want a horde of boys chasing after me"

Silence. You look to Maud as she doesn't reply, her hands cover her face as she fights to hold back a smile.

"What?" you say.

After a little more silence Maud pokes you gently in the cheek with her finger.

"You're just so damn cute" she says "Trib sure does know how to make a beauty potion"

You fight back a blush as you fight against your ropes some more. Maud snaps out of her stupor and apologizes as you waves her wand, cancelling the rope tying spell as they dissappear.

"I don't know" says Maud in response to your question "maybe you could try and make her pick someone else. It's still you're first week after all"

Getting an advanced student to help us with our mannequin should give us a leg up on our competition.

I wouldn't tease her about that. It'd be as bad as if she teased us about getting into Ravenclaw. They're both things the family would disown us for.

Good point. Some snarky comment might not go amiss, though.

>>23470171

I'll continue a bit on this superiority thing...

Millicent comes from a pureblood family, but she doesn't know what a "mudblood" actually is - just that it's bad. She seems actually rather innocent (and super cute), just aping the mannerisms and words of her family and the Slytherin "caste". She's ended up in Ravenclaw, she's going to turn out all right, but in the meantime she's going to a bit of a cute contradiction. Antisociality or misanthropy isn't necessarily tied to superiority.

>>23470354
I'd consider it if the potion was something we'd done, instead of bumbled into. We should earn our hordes of slavering worshipers, damn it!

>>23470274
That's like teasing someone about an extramarital affair or some other thing that could get a person humiliated in public.

>>23470389
I think she would possess more tact than to say this in front of anybody--including her sister.

"What were you doing here?" you ask, noticing the library is extra empty "I don't see that Hufflepuff boy..." you tease.

Maud gives you a hard nudge on the shoulder.

"Shut up! If someone finds out you bet mum and dad will" she says, however Maud knows when you're trying to be funny.

"I was studying if you must know" she says with an aggravated sigh "Astrology mumbo jumbo"

Astrology classes start in the third year.

We found out after being here for just a few hours. She really has to be more careful.

>>23470504
It's probably because she won. There no longer is a rivalry. That or it's an act and we're totally falling for it. Well played, Maud, well played.

We're a nosy brat targetting her. Of course people know, but they're most likely disgustingly loyal Hufflepuffs.

Very nice. She can't seperate/categorize things, so she will try to prove herself while looking like a richfag with a superiority complex while she is actually not.

"You don't like astrology?" you say, only ever hearing bad things about it from mum and dad, one time you overheard them discussing its merits over breakfast. They didn't speak highly of it to say the least.

"It's alright" says Maud "I'm struggling to wrap my head around it is all"

You remember that you need a crystal orb like the ones used in astrology for your mannequin.

Found it.

>It is meant to be used sparingly, however, as it causes giddiness, recklessness, and dangerous overconfidence if taken in excess. Felix is highly toxic in large quantities and is also a banned substance in all organised competitions, such as Quidditch, along with all other methods of cheating. It is very difficult to make, disastrous if made wrong, and requires six months to stew before it is ready to be consumed.

"Sure" says Maud "I've got class later today, I'll do my best to sneak one out for you"

It's blowing your mind how unusually nice Maud is being to you, this potion really does work wonders!

"Thanks" you say, standing.
"No problem"
"Maud?"
"Yes?"
"Is it true Professor Trib is cursed?"
"Definitely. In my second year a student worked up the nerve to ask her and she told everyone what was up. Basically she made an 'unbreakable vow' to someone and didn't keep her promise. Scary stuff"

After already succeeding with the rolls it doesn't really matter anymore, but I'd like to point out that Astrology specifically uses stars to tell the future: even in the one book where Trelawny plays a role Astrology doesn't make use of any scrying or divination devices. For a crystal ball, we'd want Divinations.

For a board that plays a lot of RPGs, I'm surprised more people haven't pointed this out.

Not much of a rival anymore, even. Maybe OP will just switch in some new character, I mean, we still have 7*365 - 4 days to have a Draco. That Maud was supposed to be our rival was GM fiat, and what the GM giveth the GM can taketh away.

>>23471244
You're great and you should feel great.

You decide to ask Maud the question you've avoided asking since she dragged you down the isle.

"Any news on Mum and Dad?" you say, deciding to take a sudden interest on the opposite shelf's contents.

"Yes." says Maud flatly "they've tried to get you out of Ravenclaw, Tooledge said it was up to you. You decided Ravenclaw was the right choice, Mum and Dad were furious and then I got a letter last night saying they're going to stop fighting the decision. Our other-family our visiting them in a few days..."

The other family referred to your not-so-nice cousins, aunts and uncles that seem to crawl out of the woodwork every couple of months. Every last one of them a pureblood and proud of it.

You idly pull a book away and are greeted by a pig pair of eyes. It's Tara with Elise in her mouth, you had completely forgotten you had left them behind!

Whatever magic worked from within that beauty potion seems to be fading, you can sort-of feel it on your cheeks and in your gut.

You've been planning quite a bit then.

Aaah, now it makes me curious what the connection between the charms professor and Millicent's family was. Or was it DADA?

>>23471426
Millie and Maud making up, followed by Olivia telling Millie that the House will be there for her.
Oh, and petrifying Robert.

>>23471374
I personally enjoyed the bit at Care of Magical Creatures where Rob ended up saving and talking to us. It was a nice surprise, considering we hexed him earlier.

>>23471515
I spent a long time creating characters, their backgrounds, magical items etc etc

It took a while and is on going.

>>23471426
Sisterly hug, but I think it came more from the surprise than the passage itself. If you do show that bit off, I'd add in some backstory.

>>23471547

Well, I'm looking forward to it.

>>23471426
This is hard... Millie opening up to Olivia or perhaps the conversation with the headmaster in his office. The hug with Maud works only if you've been following this quest and you know why it's so important. I believe the two scenes I chose serve as a much better summary of who Millie is, how she views the world and what's truly important to her.

>>23471279
>Would you like to study with us?

>>23471584
Well, by that criteria, Millie's reaction to bullying with a Total Petrification spell and the threat of even more pain in the future is a pretty good one.

>>23471682
I agree, yes.

You give Maud a quick hug before telling her you've got to get going. With a smile Maud collects her things and leaves the library before you.

I know this is unrelated, but you just fucking reminded me that they have that shitty cream soda that is for some reason more addictive than crack at Universal.

Seeing as you are in a library you bury yourself in study next to that mermaid window pane again. You scour the shelves for anything that might prove useful.

You discover the "Clockwork Assembly Charm" or "Velox Coetus" when used properly. According to the book the casting of this spell is no easy matter and can take many attempts to get right.

Sadly there is little else in the way of information as you do not have a need to look for other than a vague idea of what to do.

Roll 2d100. 75 or less for either is good.

Transfiguration with Professor Avori goes well as you manage to charm your desk into ballroom dancing for the class.

Charms however is a disaster as you accidently send all the text books shooting out off the shelves, causing students to duck for their lives.

Hang out with Olivia and the gang. I still don't trust Robert. It's still too early to go see if Maud has found an orb for us.

>>23472173
>Find something else to do

We're a strong independent witch who don't need to friends to entertain us.

We can get into trouble enough on our own.

After what happened in Potions and Millie seeing how the guys looked at her, I imagine she'd feel awkward around them. Especially Joel. What WAS that flash of light about?

I vote for a quick lunch somewhere quiet and away from people. We can chat with Olivia after classes.

>>23472173

Explore the castle. We haven't been anywhere outside of classes, dorm, and great hall

Where would you like to explore?

Yes

>>23472303
Might be cool to start randomly opening doors in search of something to use as a body for Nathaniel. We'll probably discover a plothook of your choice or nothing at all, or seemingly nothing at all while you laugh diabolically.

>>23472318
Ahahaha, this while talking with Fur Elise

Also it's pretty clear we are in the Olivia route since here.

>as if they were in a shitty VN.
She's only 11, why does she have DD tits?

T_T

>>23472988
I'm not that sure, I'd say we are definity going towards Millie/Robert. Which is great, because the idea of a heartbroken Millie after his inevitable betrayal gives me a hard on.

>>23473033
We're obviously headed for Millie/Joel! Just wait until we're in the forbidden forest helping the professor, I'd put money down that we save his life/he saves our life.

>>23473033

I'm fine with anything as long as we don't get harem ending.

>>23473033
I have no clue how you could have arrived at that conclusion... but if it makes you happy.

>>23473065

Too many characters to draw?

>>23472967
Ah. I was thinking the classic documentary about the USN's major actions through the second world war.

I feel old.

>>23473033
"Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal", or something like that?

>>23473065
I predict Nigel and Joel dying horribly, resulting in Millie, Olivia and Harriet joining Robert's harem.

>>23473068
Come on, we have Robert options every now and then, we had lunch with him (before storming off to meet the headmaster, of course), we paralyzed him, he saved our life... Millie/Robert is a thing. And don't tell me you believe he, a Slytherin, holds no grudge at all against us because we somehow managed to win him over with our amazing personality.

>>23473129
I would prefer Nigel, Joel, and Robert watching in astonishment as Olivia and Harriet join Millie's harem.

Mainly because it would be a curveball for Millie.

I predict Millie/Robert will be like Snape and Harry's mum.

That, or Millie doesn't give a fig for either Joel or Robert and goes with Nigel the mousy kid instead.

Or Sam, the lovable Hufflepuff. Maybe the Fauxly girls have a weakness to badgers, eh?

>>23473211
>Maybe the Fauxly girls have a weakness to badgers, eh?
Well, I assume that's why we're shipping Millie/Olivia.

>>23473211
Nah, I suspect even Millie noticed that there is something going on between Sam and Nigel.

>>23473227
Oh shit! Now I really wish I'd picked another word.

You all have horribly dirty minds and ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

>>23473727
Thank you for coming back for us, Mrs. Rowling

>>23473763
Righting now. I feel pumped to write for a while without stopping. Let's do this!

You don't feel like being around any of your friends and/or aquaintances right now, instead you opt for following Tara as she slinks out of the library with Elise between her teeth. She leads you on a stroll down the changing stairs and down towards the Great Hall, then even further as you come to an adrupt stop outside a short descending flight out stairs leading to the Elf kitchen.

>Go inside and look around
>Let Tara lead you someplace else

>>23473813
>Let Tara do X

Thank you for coming back You are only reason I'm not sleeping

>>23473835
>>23473835
*the only

>>23473813
>Let Tara lead you someplace else
The Elf Kitchen? Eww, the elves aren't human.

>>23473813
>Go inside and look around

why the hell not?

>>23473813
Not exactly an exciting place, but we aren't looking for anything in particular right now. Also, Samn was caught here trying to poison those Slytherin students. Perhaps we can find some clues!
>Go inside and look around

>>23473813
Look if she expresses interest in entering, if yes, do so, if not, follow her.

>>23473813

Time to ask for some fish for Tara and some info on what the deuce happened with the poisoning attempt alledgedly done by Sam. Remember, a few elves died, so I'm pretty sure they want to get whoever was behind the poisoning.

>>23473874
Well, that is... if they didn't do the poisoning under some spell.

Being the size of a dog it doesn't take much for Tara to nudge the bulky door to the kitchens open with her head. As you step inside you can feel the mixed smells of dinner being cooked by what you can see as at least sixty elves.

There is an order to the chaos as husky looking elf with a snub nose and big white chef's had patrols up and down a counter. The other elves chop away at onions, their round crying as they chop. Others dangle from pots and pans on the ceiling as they toss them to one another, the sound of fish and eggs sizzling filling the air as they hum in unison.

>Introduce yourself to the head chef
>Keep looking around for clues
>other

>>23473966
True.

But at least we'd find out, one way or the other.

>>23473980
>>Introduce yourself to the head chef
It's the proper thing to do. This is his domain, after all.

>>23473813
Well, clearly Tara thinks we should be here, so why not have a look around? Maybe get something to feed the cat.

>>23473982
There is no reason to be rude, be they servants or not.
>Intruduce yourself.

>>23473980
>Introduce yourself to the head chef

We're not rude!

>>23474003
Indeed, it is unfit to not introduce oneself to the host of the domain after all.

>>23473980
>Introduce yourself to the head chef
And try to ask for some fish for Tara!

>>23473980
Introduce yourself, Tara and Fur Elise to the head chef. Say you're here to find out what happened with the poisoning.

>>23474040
And to get something nice for Tara!

>>23473980
>Introduce yourself to the head chef
We're anti-social, not impolite.

>>23474049
Of course.

Considering Tara's size compared to the house elves and the fact that she's, well, a cat, I imagine she'd help herself to some fish. Since when do cats ask for anything they can fully well get themselves?

Taran does a U-turn and snuggles up to your leg as you approach the head chef who has taken to holding a roller in his hand like a cricket bat.

"Excuse me" you say.
"Wot?" he says, accent gruff, nose shrivelling and face displeased to see you.
"I was wondering if you had any fish for my cat to eat. I'm Millicent Fauxly, this is Elise and this is Tara"

The chef scratches his snub nose before snapping his fingers, a half-eaten fish floats atop a small cloud and into a bowl before Tara who happily munches away.

>Ask away

>>23474119
>u wot m8 oil stab ya in de cheek ya lil' gabba

>>23474119
"What can you tell me about what happened here the other night? What was Professor Trib doing in the kitchen that night?"

>>23474119
"Why was Professor Tribs down here the night that the poisoning incident took place?"

>>23474119
Fish you say?

Near-Death
>A fear of large bodies of water and being unable to stomach foods with obvious fish.

>>23474119
Glance and shudder at the fish. At least it's dead and not flopping...
We're slightly disturbed.
"Um.. I'm sure you're very busy, but I was wondering if I could possibly ask about the poisoning that happened? "

And then >>23474168

>>23474119
"I'm terribly sorry to disturb your work, but I would I'm currently trying to investigate the horrible crime that has been done to your staff. Do you know what poison was used for this heinous act?"

>>23474179
Ok, yeah, we gag a little before asking our question. We'll have to brush Tara's teeth later. It'll be fun.

>>23474119
"About the poisoning... What do you know of it? How do you know it was Sam? Do you have anyone who may have witnessed the crime?"

"Do you know why Aurors are involved?"

>>23474140
I see what you did there, and applaud you for it, good sir.

The sight of the half-eaten fish causes bile to form at the back of your throat that's difficult for you to shake. You feel your knees go weak, despite this, you continue with your questioning.

"I'm terribly sorry to disturb you at work-"
"Go on"
"-and to the what happened to those here the other night. I was hoping you could tell me what happened?"
