Despite your run in and almost death whilst riding a broom in Bergle’s lesson, which you have come to believe was the cause of his tampering, you have decided, as of right now on the spot, to join the Ravenclaw team for the new term.

“I think I might join too” you say as you idly hold Tara’s paws as she plays with you.

“Great” says Harriet “I figured cheerleading was a little dull compared to actually taking part, I look forward to besting you” she says in a tongue-in-cheek manner.

After another ten minutes of chatting with your friends you stand and let the others know that you’re going for a walk. You wander off with Tara on your shoulder before she jumps off in hopes of catching an enchanted paper bird Joel as cast for her.

You watch Tara dip and dive as she tries to claw it, you take out your own wand and keep it afloat as you cross the castle grounds to the tree.

You can see Robert sitting alone by the tree with a book in his hands. He’s looking out into the lake as he eats a biscuit. You stand motionless and watch the ripple of the lake which reflects the sun like glass, causing the forbidden forest to be flipped upside from the right perspective.

When you’re close by Robert looks up from his book he’s writing in and gives a haphazard smile.

“Hey, Millicent” he says “You look well”

“I got your note, thanks for that” You say, sitting on a root beside him. Robert closes his book and puts away his feather pen which magically dives into his schoolbag.

“It’s great to see you’re doing okay” he says looking to your and smiling.

A comfortable silence follows as you watch the lake and consider what must lie at the bottom of its depths; Murpeople most likely.

“Does Slytherin know about what happened in the Headmaster’s study?” you say.

“Everyone does, Millicent” he says as Tara hops onto his lap, sniffing and pawing at his robes. “I’m afraid to see you’re becoming a bit of an enigma at the school what with the whole deal with your parents and professor Bergle”

“How does everyone even know about my family problems?” you ask.

Robert shrugs “I think we had this conversation before but I’m pretty sure it’s just people sending owls back and forth to their parents, news can spread fast that way”

“But surely it can’t be such a big deal for everyone?”

You watch as a small ferret pokes out of Robert’s robes and tumbles out onto the grass. Tara playfully jumps on it and the two skitter after one another along the bank of the lake and around the tree.

“I guess its just gossip” says Robert “Though I’m sure it has a source. When was the last time you spoke to your parents?”

Question to OP:
Does the tri-wizard tournament exist in this version of the universe or has it been shut down? If it was to take place next year we would be able to take part in the one after it in our seventh year... pipe dreams. Granted if they dont have the age restriction we could toss our name in in any year...
Would Millie even -want- to take part in a triwizard tourney?

You think back to saying goodbye to your father at platform nine and three quarters, back when Elise was tucked beneath your arm as your soul companion. The last time you saw your father there was a glean in his eye, a look that told you he believed in you and after his little speech that he knew you could continue the greatness of the Fauxly name. His loving smile, his smell of shoe polish and the prickle of his neatly trimmed beard captured in your mind like many of the moving portraits in the castle.

That was the last time you saw him in person. You’ve yet to see the disappointment and shame in his eyes that you’ll be seeing someday soon.

“I received a letter from my parents by owl telling me to not contact them whilst at Hogwarts, so I haven’t”

”They didn’t even visit you in the medical wing?”
“That’s right”
“Then they don’t have the right to call themselves your parents”

You feel its best to change the subject to something a little lighter.

“How have you been?”
“Huh?” says Robert with a wry grin “First time you’ve asked that”

You say nothing as mixed feelings fill you.

“Well I’m doing pretty good in class, my parents are telling me its best I stay at Hogwarts for the term break, and I’ve started writing a book”

>>24189959
Previous tournaments were open to all ages. An age restriction of 17+ was put into place during the tourny in the novel due to deaths of champions. The goblet didn't judge by age which is how Harry ended up in the tournament.

Depending on how OP is formulating his universe there would either have to be a tournament in our second year for us to be old enough to take part in the one in our seventh, since they are held every 5 years, or if there was no age restriction we could take part in one any year. Granted, if we put our name in in our third year we probably wouldnt get picked...

“Pretty much”

You think of the Trident.

“….have you done much research on lost artefacts at Hogwarts?”

Robert turns and positively beams with excitement. You can tell he doesn’t get to talk about his passion all that much with others.

“Well there’s the Amulet of Helga Hufflepuff which was found by Arthur Macy a hundred or so years ago…” he begins, counting them off with his fingers.

“…then there’s the sword of Godric Gryiffindor which is held in gringotts bank, there was rumours that Salazar had built a Chamber in the castle but that was debunked, and…and…damn I’m forgetting something”

Or something along those lines. There are four Houses, I refuse to believe Robert is actually that forgetful.

You decide to work you way into asking questions about The Trident.

“So what is it about artefacts that you like?”

Robert looks up at the tree and mulls over the question.

“Well…I guess it’s the mystery of it” he says “Like we live in a world surrounded by magic, yet there is hidden, deeper magic out there which is more powerful and mysterious that we can even dream of”

You can understand what he means by this, despite the magical wonder of Hogwarts and all its secrets, you can help but feel there is a deeper magic that isn’t so common place lurking just out of sight.

BFQ has an interesting setting, good writing, and one of the best "Actions Have Consequences" with a lot of player freedom of action.
Of course, that leads to the problems of attempting to get consensus, and player in-fighting when consequences come back to bite the PC for stupid or ill-conceived actions.

"wait, but.. if these artifacts are lost, where do you find information on them? or are you just planning on going around digging in random places?"

Ask how these artifacts get to be so strong. Are they just made by powerful wizards? Because hasn't magical research and development continued even further than when the artifacts were created? Or do the enchantments on them get stronger over time similar to a wine aging?
If given time, knowledge and patience could a moderately skilled witch or wizard create a modern day artifact?

“Wouldn’t magical artefacts be dangerous? Isn’t that why they are lost in the first place?” you say, standing from the root and stretching your legs.

Robert does the same and before you know it you’re both across the field, Ferret and Savannah Cat in tow.

“They’re priceless, powerful magical items that in the wrong hands can cause a lot of trouble” he says “that’s why they’re so often lost and found because everyone is warring over them”

You continue across the field until you come across a rickety bridge held together by magic which leads across a large drop. You stop and don’t go any further.

There is an awkward beat as you stand and nod, consider going in for a hug and then promptly turn on your heels and walk away. You can hear Robert whistling casually to himself as he goes one way and you another.

Tara hops onto your shoulder, gives a mew, and licks your cheek.

You return to your friends and finish the picnic with them, when the bell rings and you head off to Defence Against the Dark arts with Professor Olivier. The lesson is pretty dull which is only spiced up at the end with a frankly embarrassing dance number by the students who had committed themselves into the play. However you do find a certain entertainment in watching Olivia happily dancing at the back with the puppet as a groovy blues number plays from the record player at the back of the class.

Lesson over you head back to your dorm as you feel dozens of eyes burning into the back of your skull. You catch students of all houses whispering and following you down hallways until you manage to lose them at the changing stairs.

When you finally approach your dorm after a long day you find Maud waiting there for you, arms cross as she leans against the wall.

It's a power struggle, and we are beleiving her lies. She may have planted the young slytherin Robert to distract us from our objective - after all, most slytherin are close.

“Want an autograph?” you say as you and your friends stop by the door.
“Lets talk in private” says Maud, putting a comforting arm round your shoulder as you wave a ‘see-ya-in-abit’ gesture to your friends.

Maud leads you down the changing stairs, noticing the looks that the students are giving you, and then turns down a dimly lit corridor with scary gothic statues. She sits on a bench with you beneath a torch and says.

“You really are quite the celebrity round here” she says “Though whether you’re infamous is yet to be seen”

Maud asks you about Bergle and the whole affair and you give her the run down you gave Trib instead of the real version of events. She listens intently and rubs your back as you go through the ghastly details.

“That’s terrible” she says, giving you a hug “Oh Millie you must be more careful”

You almost forgot about your suspicions toward your sister as to whether she is really a contestant. You want to talk to her about it, you trust her, but the fact she hasn’t told you first stops you. There’s always a chance, however unlikely, she is playing you for a dopey little sister.

“Mum and Dad got in contact again” she says “I have to go back for the term break and…” she goes quiet, knowing how much this is effecting you “…they don’t want you to come back just yet. I don’t think they’re ready”

staying back is fine, but we shouldn't tell her we wanted to stay back anyway because we have stuff to do. We can say that we are behind with our studies, what with one bergle and another.

she propably has made the connection that we're in the contest; the fact that she's willing to take a break from school shows that she's certain we won't be able to attain anything. But we will get that crystal ball one way or the other.

She looks to you with teary eyes which she wipes away with a tissue.

“I’ve got a lot on my plate right now Millie, I can’t explain right now but I’m involved with something…usual. It’s nothing bad I promise it’s—it’s complicated”

You can see she’s on the verge of spilling something. You think you know what it is.

still, Millie probably wouldn't think like that. She would probably think that her sister is her only family left and the only person that cared for her.

there's also the possibility that she's trying to get back with her boyfriend and that's all.

>>24192067
I'd say she definitely knows, or she's a complete idiot. We came as close as we could to telling her without actually spitting it out. Check this quote:

> "I'm doing it for an extra curricular project" you say, detailing how the intended effect is to trap ghosts and other spirits inside.

>"Sounds like a random spell to be using" Maud says, furrowing her brown and chewing her tongue "but hey, that's Hogwarts for you."

So it seems that most now favor revealing ourselves to Maud and trying for a Fauxley victory, for the following reasons:
1. Don't want Maud to slip back to Spiteful from Friendly Rival
2. Efficiency in getting the Trident
3. More interesting/drama-filled choice

I don't think we should sell it period. It's tied to Trib's curse. I know it. I much prefer breaking that curse than anything else.

Damn you Maud making us think you are a devil while you are Mother fucking Teresa.

>>24193112
Yeah, we should suggest staying at hogwarts, though I dunno how safe we feel here ourself. I mean, we did almost get murdered after 3 weeks of attending...

>>24193277
Don't believe it. She's a devil wearing a Mother Teresa skin suit.

And if we use magic in the muggle world, the ministry would detect it and get all uptight. Besides, they're Purebloods. The idea of them trying to blend in among muggles is... actually, pretty entertaining.

Man, now I want to do it. Too bad it involves OOC levels of stupidity.

Hey, look on the bright side. She might just be lying to us so she can steal the glory.

Time to team up for sisterly Fauxly action! Maud is a way better sidekick then Joel!

>NO GHOSTS SERVICED

...The word is 'served'
Trust me, the difference is very important

Yeah captcha, that's pretty much the gist of it

I agree. Then again, maybe I'm just being paranoid here.

Courses of action:

1) Humor Maud about selling the Trident and say goodnight
2) Tell her you think the Trident is dangerous and should be handled with care. Then say goodnight
3)Discuss the implication of two young witches living in London without their parents
4)other

3)Discuss the implication of two young witches living in London without their parents

>>24193308
Well we could. Transmute some wooden necklaces and bracelets into silver or something like that and sell them at a pawn shop or something we can identify as doing a good rate and noting that will fuck us up. Preferably well away from us. A broom flight to Ireland perhaps.

>>24193268
This sounds somewhat entertaining, but we will have to wait for at least 3 years for Maud to hit 18, if we are willing to stay in france or somewhere where the age limit is not 21.

>>24193384
it's never gonna happen. It's alla a terrible, cruel ruse.

I vote 2

>>24193360
We refuse to do both. Fucking Nathaniel.

>>24193371
>Hug her, thank her, THEN discuss the implication of two witches living in London.

We should probably mention that the Trident might be dangerous too.
