"We can wait until after break" you tell them as you look out the window to the castle grounds, the smoke no longer rising in the distance.

Silence. Birds twitter outside the window. The chill morning air caresses your skin. The adrenalien seeps out of your vains.

"How did you cast that fire spell?" asks Nigel as he prods the embers of the dying fire, not directly looking at you.

"They were attacking Olivia. I couldn't, wouldn't, let such insolence go without reprisal.
"....and it just came naturally; I don't exactly remember the details."

>>23807925
Aye.

Nigel sits back on the sofa and raises his eyebrows in a judging manner, Oliva and Joel remaining silent.

The morning flies by and so do your lessons, more than once you jump in your seat at the sound of a slammed door or hastened footsteps. At the beginning of Potions Professor Trib addressed the class and told them little of what was found in the forest, only that they know it was students messing around.

You have Flying Lessons for lunch.

"We better get as much done as possible before break" says Joel as you walk down the corridor "what's first?"

We should check what nathaniel has been telling folks. if this is as linked to him as we think it is, this'll be really important

>>23808198
I don't remember who Nathaniel and Maud were so Nathaniel.

>>23808225

Nathaniel is the ghost

>>23808198
>Nathaniel
We need to get started building his body.

>>23808243
Oh yeah, the ghost who was disembodied under unknown circumstances, is desperately trying to regain a body, and at one point freaked out when we defied him (I recall something along the lines of suddenly getting red eyes and being very angry).
Now, what character from the HP universe does this remind you of?

>>23808290
I don't remember him ever freaking out about us defying him. He got angry once because we... insinuated he had caused what's-his-face to poison the slytherins.

>>23808198
>Maud
Because we need that crystal ball to complete the mannequin.

>>23808327

Actually yeah, changing my vote to Maud as we may as well confront Nathaniel with a bargaining chip or two rather than just yelling at him

>>23808327
Yeah, Maud sounds good. We need to grasp this issue firmly by the balls.

>>23808327
Ahh, right. This then. Get that ball.

"I better go see if Maud has made any progress on getting that ball for me"

You walk to the Great Hall and look for her there to no avail, which leads you to library instead. On your way there Harriet comes across your path, her face is pale white but otherwise she looks unharmed.

"Hey" she says "...everything okay?"

>Reponse

>>23808467
Blink, "Yes. You?"

>>23808467
Do you guys think we should get Harriet in on the plotting? I think so, because she's got a pretty good motive for helping us (vengeance) and if we don't tell her Joel might which would be... problematic.

>>23808467
"Everything considered, yes. And you? Is there some kind of problem?"

>>23808467

Say 'I'm fine'. Stiffly.

And I'm back and it looks like our friends are getting suspicious about us.

>>23808515
I don't know; she's already been compromised.

>>23808537
I say we've been compromised too.

>>23808515

Guys, I'm all up for making more friends, but until 'antisocial' gets magicked away, we just don't do that easily. We specificly didn't like her when we met her on the train even

We could go towards that if we pump her for information though, maybe she got a better look at whoever's been in our heads?

>>23808573
This. We gotta keep our hostility in front of people until they warm up to us.

>>23808573
That, and remember that she's the captain of the Gryffindor Cheerleader Squad. <spoilers>the whore</spoilers>

We can, however, try to stay civil, if gruff, to get information from Harriet.

>>23808481
I would go with this.

"I'm fine" you say, stiffly.

She plays with a lock of her hair as she looks over her shoulder, making sure to look every passer by, her eyes erratic.

"I've quit the cheerleading team, and I'm putting the Squib rights on hold too" she says "To be honest I just don't feel safe in the school anymore"

>>23808657
"Okay."

>>23808657
"I thought Gryffindors were supposed to be brave"

>>23808686
"That doesn't make any sense. I thought you were passionate for either of those things. Why quit something that you've loved? Don't tell me it was because off... well."

>>23808730

>>23808816

we snape now?

"I thought Gryffindors were supposed to be brave" you say, fighting down a smirk.

Harriet rolls her eyes in indignation.

"I thought Ravenclaws were supposed to be smart" she scoffs, walking away.

You enter the library and find Maud alone reading a book, she seems to have just taken a break as she looks out the window.

>Talk to sis

>>23808854
>Get sine cool water for that burn

>>23808854
Well, I like the sound of that scuff. Hopefully that little bit of anger will manifest itself to full blown motivation. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Harriet is broken.

> "I thought Ravenclaws were supposed to be smart."

We were never supposed to be in Ravenclaw to begin with. Sigh...

Sounds like she made a pact with Joel, which has probably told her that we're being paranoid idiots. Which is true--at least I am.

>>23808890
Before the hug... look if we're alone first. Gotta keep up our fighting image, after all.

Maud notices you and give a smile and a slight hand wave before putting her book aside and standing away from the window. She points to a deserted isle and leads you down it.

"How's it going?" she says, folding her arms and sitting on the ground.

>>23809211
Going home could be some really neat RP. I'm interested in learning more about her family and father who seems to be able to turn a complete 180 on his previously favorite daughter. That said though, I dunno if it would be within Millie's character at the moment. I'm sure shes like any other kid that just wants her parents to love her but she would also know that going home could essentially be kicking a hornets nest at the moment

"I think I'm going to stay over the end of term" you say "I'm not ready to go back just yet"

"Cool, I think I'll stay too" she says "Mum and Dad have calmed down a bit but we've got cousins visiting by the time we'd arrive. I'd rather not put myself through that--oh, by the way, did you see the fire that broke out earlier?"

"Did you manage to get that crystal ball for me?"
"Oh, yeah, about that..."
"You didn't get it?"

>>23809542

does anyone else feel like we're the dumbest ravenclaw ever? Look at all the spells literally anyone else knows and we just spam petrificus totalus like it's going out of fashion. let's go learn a dissilusionment charm (or whatever greater invisibility was in potterland) and steal one

What can she do anyway? Besides quitting.

>>23809914

Sick burn bro

But seriously, we know like 4 spells total and their limited usefulness

know the only spell we've shown an aptitude for? (that we cast intentionally)

Protego. Since Joel and Olivia showed some of the utility stuff with muffliato and accio, are there some defensive jinxes we could use? Or hell, just learn some more hexes, it's something we have on our character sheet that we apparently NEVER USE

>>23810008
Wait... we have an updated character sheet?

>>23810047

No, it's at the top of the thread, plus you can always check the summary at the bottom of the creation thread

>>23810008
Don't forget that our wand gives a +10 bonus to our Casting Skill when casting Charms, so we should pick up more Charms as well.

>>23810062
But it doesn't state our awesome body score and such. Along with the wand info.

>>23810070
Such as this. Also, gotta learn more charms.

>>23810070

Isn't protego the shield charm?
Actually, we should learn accio, it's the summoning charm

>>23810102
accio is a fourth year level spell, wouldnt it be a bit out of our league? Or does this system not categorize spells in the way Im assuming?

>>23810162

We must be a ravenclaw for SOMETHING. If we're one of the smart guys, I want to use it

So is it generally excepted that we are leaning towards a raven type personality? i mean im fine with pretty much anything and everything short of a mary sue.

>>23811383
I don't mind at all, but here's the problem.

We're pushing everyone away from us that could be close to us. That's how I feel. Which is depressing.

>>23811383
Also, we're far from being a mary-sue. We're clumsy as fuck socially. And we also occasionally fumble spells left and right. We're not Hogwarts model student either. Perhaps the one thing going for us is that we're ambitious--I think. Are we ambitious?

>>23811481

thing is, we got fucked by rolls in such a way that we're massively disposed to do this

I mean, we get over it, we're warming up to the other ravenclaws, but it's ALWAYS going to be a massive struggle for us as a character barring a serious piece of character development

>>23811559
>barring a serious piece of character development
We're not going to discuss the definition of anti-social again are we? Oh, I hope not! But yeah. I see your point. The /tg/ dice gods have not been good to us, and it's caused us to act poorly. But I don't agree. We're just not proactive enough to interact with other characters, be it who we know already or not. And its being done in purpose due to a trait that neither of us have chosen but the dice-god themselves. Being anti-social bites.

>>23811559
>>23811521
yeah i wasn't saying we were anything like a mary sue currently. I was saying as long as we avoid making actions that will lead us that way like the plague i will be happy. I love that we are a clumsy social retard it makes the threads fun to read and offers better story telling.

I'd really like it if we could work through the main story while still doing all the things us fans of harry potter want to do like get lost while exploring and finding some crazy asinine quirk of the castle. You know something like the room of requirement or doors that lead to stairs that lead to doors that lead to the bottom of the same stairs.

Oh. Joel. Bless that fucker's soul. He's trying to pry us open from this trait. But for fuck sakes, man. Someone played with our mind, and we're paranoid as fuck because of it. It's like we've been mind-raped or something.

>>23811688

keep dropping my trip to post on /out/

>>23811688

I didn't know you could really turn into a sue, I always assumed that by the time you built yourself in to a sue-ish character, everyone else in the setting had been gaining powerlevels so it wasn't really a thing

Plus the other people we've met outside ravenclaw have actively pissed us off. it's making this really hard

>>23811713
And another thing. How come Joel's and Harriet's face turned white when they saw us. It's like they know something sinister about us. Maybe we should of followed Joel to Trib's potion-room.

Are we playing a Harry Potter RPG or Paranoia?

>>23811833

What will this do to our character once Millie realizes she's taken someone's life? Or, will she just treat it as if she just killed a fly?

The problem with Joel is that I wouldn't be surprised if he fancies himself some kind of chosen hero, with the way he immediately decided to trust no one, and relied only on his natural talent and some pilfered potions to save Harriet.
No idea why he isn't in Gryffindor, with an attitude like that.

>>23812879

He's intellectually lazy and seems content to just coast on his innate potential instead of bothering to learn things.
