It's been a couple of weeks since you finished your first year in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After the events involving the half vampire professor, your parents seem more protective of you. The first days you were back at home, at Apise Manor, was dreadfully boring with your Mom and Dad keep coming to your room to ask if you want anything or need anything.

You feel that you miss Hogwarts and can't wait for the next year to start. You spend your days just relaxing, thinking about studying and also about Quidditch. You decide to start studying for the second year soon...first you take some days off for yourself...you earned it.

Cordelia spends her time playfully and happy wandering around the grounds of the manor.

Your father, Edward, seems happy with you and talks mostly on your grades, potions, professors and about your cousin with you. And your mom, Joan, is proud with you after you managed to survive the dangerous encounter with the Professor Phyillia and she is also proud about your Quidditch team membership.

One morning, during the breakfast, you receive some letters. One from Hogwarts, informing you on the books and other materials you need for the upcoming school year, one from Anya and one from Glenn. You proceed to read the letters with excitement.

First you open the letter of Anya,

"Dear John,

I hope you are having a wonderful summer! How are you and your family? I am looking forward for the next year in Hogwarts, how about you? I think we will be finally learning some important magic this year! After I told me parents about the events, they also send their thanks to you for saving me! I really miss everyone in the school, hopefully we will see each other soon. Do you recommend me any books to read in the summer? I am going to a vacation with my parents to Riga and I think it will be boring so I want to find something to keep myself occupied. Take care!

- Anya Fleur, 21 June 1983"

We read The Hobbit right? Then Lord of The Rings.

>>43482165
That's also a good suggestion, though we might wanna save it for book club ourself.

You continue to read the second letter while your mom make some rude comments about the article she is reading in the Prophet. "Lucious Malfoy, who was under control of Imperius Curse a few years ago will accompany Minister Bagnold in a foreign trip to the island of Tenedos to meet with the Archfey of Aegean Merfolk..." she quotes "What a load of rubbish..." she continues with more strong words on how she feels about this person called Malfoy. You hear a few words like "spineless" before returning your attention to the Glenn's letter.

"Dear John,

I am writing this letter to you from Egypt! We took a trip here to see a very famous Oracle. My mother insists that this trip will help to open my third eye more. I am not sure about this...and the weather is just too hot for me...and it is very different here than back at home. But I like the historical stuff we get to see. We went to a circus last week and watched some sphinxes that dances. It was amazing! How is your holiday? I hope you are having lots of fun. Will you join the Quidditch team again this year? Write to me as soon as possible please because I have no friends with me here!

Glenn DeMange, 15 June 1983, Alexandria

PS: In Egypt they have their own wizard cards. I am sending you one with this letter, check it out!"

There is a golden card about the same size of your own Chocolate Frog cards, an old wizard with a long beard and a onion shaped big hat laughs and waves in the card. It is written in an alphabet you can't read so you don't understand who it is.

It helps with Potion-making and with flying.

But Intelligence also is part of Potion-making as well as Dark spellcasting, and is used when studying.

Intelligence.

>>43482480
Some of these works

We should recommend that to our muggle born friends to get reactions.

>>43482324
You put down the letters after you are done reading them. After you finish your breakfast and your father leaves for work, you ask to your mom about the secret room and the ring that was there. "A ring? Just said B on it?" she thinks for a bit. "It could be a ring of Dromeda... you know you met with her in Christmas, my classmate with a daughter younger than you. Or maybe someone that belongs to her family. A relative of hers taught us that room" Then you ask about the ghost with a cape and crown.

She doesn't remember anything at first. Then answers slowly, "Ah...I think I remember a ghost entering the room one time. He said ghosts can enter our secret room and that we were stupid girls and we should leave the room and the previous students were better than us. Some stupid things like this. He was called Lord Gamp if I remember correctly."

>>43482639

Oh! And ask mom if she could get in touch with Mrs. Dromeda for us, to confirm if the ring belonged to her and so we can send it to its rightful owner.

Let's grind those social links with her and her daughter.

She seems a bit reluctant. "Yeah...I will ask her about it." she says. "Well about this ghost... I don't know much about him. Headmaster also informed us on this a bit and he said he will look into it. If he wears a crown and he is called a Lord it's possible he was maybe a real lord and has been dead for a really long time."

Then she continues with a more strong tone. "I never liked any of the ghosts in Hogwarts anyways. Stupid, arrogant and selfish all of them. Never useful. I don't see the point that they are allowed in the castle at all. They should all be kicked out if you ask me."

Also for the month of July, you can study on 2 things out of this list:

>Quidditch
>DADA
>Potions
>Transfiguration
>Charms
>Astronomy
>Herbology
>History of Magic

A reminder: If you choose to study Quidditch for July AND August, you can get another point in it before the school starts which would be useful in the tryouts.

You know what else would help our house? Locking up Valdis in the dungeons

>>43483085
Then fuck it, let's go Quidditch

>>43483030
>>43483055
Aren't we only choosing for July right now? And we just need to choose Quidditch once in July and once in August?

>>43483126
I was going to suggest we murder him and frame the fucking Hufflepuff's, but locking him in the dungeons is good.

Fucking Huffllepuff's.

>>43483144
Yeah we are but I guess we got some /fit/ players

>>43483144
Nope, we are choosing for both months right now, i guess.

>>43483172
But we can choose two things per month

>>43483172
It says we're choosing for July in the post.

>>43482941
Are we choosing for both months or just one?

>>43483144
Correct

Checking http://www.mediafire.com/view/2gll0w089cvjrnh/Harry_Potter_and_the_Tabletop_RPG.pdf we only need to practice for 30 hours to get to Flying 2. We can practice for 36 hours a week without even getting stressed.

You spend your days mostly focusing on potions and Quidditch. You read some new potion books, try to understand how to brew new ones and try to find useful formulas.

Also you read about the recent World Cup to see which players were the best and check tactics. You fly around the Manor on your broom and practice your skills. Sometimes Cordelia also flies along you trying to catch up with her small wings buzzing.

Your mom also practices with you...

But the Gryffindors have proven that they're incompetent, what with that mess in Herbology class and the lot of them getting detention.

Your mom also practices with you, she uses her old broom and wears her old emerald colored cloak. She hits some Bludgers towards you and you try to evade them. You can see she is quite good actually and holding it back.

At one of the practices your father watches you and comments, "I will never know why you didn't join the national team and instead married me" and laughs.

>>43483530
>>43483523

When you find some time from your practices you also write some replies to your friends and a letter to Alba.

You tell Glenn thanks for the card and to enjoy Egypt some more.

You tell Anya to read the Year with the Yeti by Gilderoy Lockheart, deciding to give a shot to this writer after Professor Phyilia said he was a charlatan but in the end she herself turned out to be an evil vampire.

And finally you write to Alba telling her about how you are practicing for Quidditch and you hope that Hufflepuff doesn't win the cup again.

>>43483389

Tell her we're enjoying vacation, recommend a wizard book in exchange for a Muggle recommendation from her.

A bit late than my post but with luck almost same things we write to our friends.

As the days past, the weather gets hotter and hotter, your sleeping pattern gets lazier and lazier and you miss the Hogwarts more and more.

One evening during the dinner your father announces he needs to go to France to make a business deal involving some of your family assets. Your mother also tells you that she has wrote to Andromeda about the ring but she has not replied yet.

You ask your father if you can also come to this trip. At first he is reluctant. Says it will be very boring for you and it will only take a couple of days. But then your mother intervenes. "Come on, John needs to practice his french anyways. It will be nice for him to visit a different place." After this no more arguements come from your father.

You get ready to leave for France in a couple of days. You prepare your bag and make sure Cordelia will be comfortable when you are away. Then you receive another letter.

How are you? I hope you are practicing your game, man! We have to win the cup this year! I had an idea and I wanted to write to you. There is a friendly game between Wales and Syria. The game is here and it is in late August. Do you want to go together? If you agree my father will bring both of us. What do you think? Take care!

You write back to Tim, accepting his invitation. You also ask your parents for permission and they say it's okay. You are excited about this now!

Then the day comes to leave for France. You and your father get ready to leave. Your mom kisses you goodbye and tells you to enjoy it and try to practice your language skills.

Your father tell you to follow his example exactly, he takes some Floo powder and drops in in the fireplace and says "Stre Station 155" and disappears with a green flame. You take some powder and do the same.

An instant later you find yourself in a strange gray building. Your father is just ahead of you standing. There are some announcements going on and busy people walking in each direction from different fireplaces. Your father is talking with someone and getting directions. You follow him. "All right, John. This is a station that regulates fast international transportation. We just need to find the portkey we are looking for now."

After a bit of walking and confusion and direction asking your father finds the portkey. You try not to get lost in a group that is trying to go to China and follow your father. A ministry official helps you with your bags and you and your father use the portkey, a small yellow mirror, you both touch it. You feel a bit nausated and light headed but when you open your eyes you see you are in another building.

"Bienvenue en France monsieur!" You see your father talking with a man. Your father seems annoyed by these french people but he tries to get going and motions you to hurry up. You two leave the building and you see you are near a river. "This is Garonne, John. We need to go on the river a bit to reach our destination... When you see one of these people talking to me just interrupt them and make them go away will you? Good boy." You nod quickly.

After a bit of waiting at a small pier on the river with some other travelers who look mostly like tourists than actual locals you hear a strange horn sound accompanied with lot of white bubbles on the water surface. Then you see the head of four giant sea horses appear. These horses are bound to a big cart that comes up to the surface from the deep down. People start hopping in the cart and the rider gives the signal to the sea horses to continue. The wheels of the cart rides on the water surface resembling a paddle steamer. The cool river air with some water touches your face and dances around your hair, the rising sun warms your bones and the sounds sea horses make are somewhat pleasant.

You see also two kids around your age playing some kind of board game at another seat and a girl around your age casting some spells on a sunglasses that sits on her lap.

The "ship" continues on it's way towards northwest and passing through villages, vineyards and gardens while you realize there seems to be some kind of mist around the ship.

It makes it a bit difficult to enjoy the view so you decide to walk around. You see a girl practicing some kind of spells and you walk towards her. As you approach you see that she is casting a spell that changes the color and shape of the sunglasses. You say hello to her and she smiles and answers in french. Then you realize she is actually a french and switch into her language.

You introduce yourself and she introduces herself as Laure. She says she is at same age as you and asks you where are you from an what are you doing here. You start to make some small talk.

You ask her about the spell she is casting. "That's Transfigurations right? What is that spell?" She seems a bit confused. "We don't categorize it like this... but this spell is an easy one I learned at school. I am trying to get better at it... it's useful to look better and different quickly." She says with a smile. "I go to Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, the best school of magic in the world." You say that you are going to Hogwarts. She says she never heard of it. "I am here with my father... for some family business." She tells you that she is going to visit her aunt.

The ship is halfway to the destination.

How does her school categorize spells?

I think this lends credence to the idea that the magic system of Hogwart's, the English system, is the 'business language' of the global magic community, and each nation has their own magic tradition.

So Commonwealth nations and Hong Kong would use the English system in schools, and it's taught like a foreign language in other countries.

You change the subject from the spell. "How do you categorize spells then?" you ask. "Which house you belong to in your school?"

She seems surprised. "What do you mean house? Do you mean what year I am in? Maybe you can use a dictionary?"

You try to explain with a good french, "No, I mean we have different houses in the Hogwarts. Like student clubs... I guess."

She still seems confused. "No we don't have anything like this, no "houses". If you are a second grader you take all the classes of the second grade with all the other second graders. We don't categorize the spells like this to different classes either. It is difficult to explain to you." She says reluctantly.

The ship passes through some ruins of an old castle and the sun seems to be climbing to it's zenith. Your father is just writing somethings on his journal, completely uninterested with the countryside or the people around.

Say goodbye and politely say that you will leave her to concentrate on her spell and sneak a peek on the board game that the other kids are playing

Let's compare spell incantations, and potions. In fact ask if she has taken potion-brewing yet and see if the English and French systems differ as much as their cooking does.

After a while you get bored with this girl and say goodbye. You walk around the ship, look at the other passengers. You see two men drinking alcohol and getting drunk already. They seem to be tourists. Then you see a guy with a fez and a big moustache smoking a cigarette. Finally you check the two kids playing a board game. It looks like chess but a bit different with figures like knights, wizards, witches, bards and all. They also roll some strange dice you never seen before on a grid paper. "Weird people everywhere" you think to yourself and come back to your dad.

"Ah finally we are arriving, son. This is Bordeaux. I will meet with my contacts here. Let's see..." he looks at his journal and some papers to figure out his meeting point.

The ship stops finally and you and your father get off. You act as a translator to your father when someone asks him or he asks someone some directions. You pass some old churches, some big stone buildings and small houses and finally reach to a small alley. You walk to a small tavern with a sign saying "Chat Jaune" and enter. You realize finally you are in a non-muggle place. Your father goes to talk with the guy who owns the place and thankfully he speaks English. After a few minutes your bags are taken upstairs and you are in the room you will be staying for two days. It is a nice room, almost luxurious.

"So how do you like it so far, son?" Your father asks.

>I like this trip. It's cool.
>I don't know yet
>Kind of boring, dad.
>I wish I stayed at home actually

"It's cool, I like this trip and spending time with you, dad" you say happily. Your dad smiles and says "Let's eat some food before we go out." and you two go downstairs to eat something. Your dad seems a bit afraid that they will bring him some strange food like frogs or snails but in the end he chooses something for both of you. First you eat some bread, they call baguette and put some stuff on it you don't know what but seems yellowish. You don't like it so much. Then the main dish arrives, something called confit de canard, you eat it and you liked it. It's duck. Your father also drinks some wine while you stick with sparkling water.

"Do you want to come with me or stay here or go out to look around or something, John?" he asks you.

You decide to accompany dad to his meeting, after you are finished with the food you exit from another door in the pub and take your first steps into the magical part of the Bordeaux.

>Thanks everyone for joining today. I need to do some other stuff tonight so I need to cut here. We'll see each other soon I hope though I have some midterms next week but who cares... I am excited for the second year! Follow us on twitter to get news: @JVApiseQuest

Thanks for today Gringott

Oy vey why do you hate the dark arts are you antisemitic?

Let's see if John will like France.

>>43485878
The family assets are already divided between the sons or grandsons. So you will be getting your father's share basically. Still quite nice.

>>43487329
Can't say anything now for sure.

>>43487057

Thanks, I ask because I'm pulling for a camera for our birthday (a nice one). Not to go Colin Creevey status but to take pictures of animals and landscapes (which I don't know what would happen to a magical picture with no subject to it)

>>43487558
soooooo you want to be nature boy colin creevy?

>>43487668
would the Anti-Cheating Spell effect liquid luck?

>>43487668
>>43488074
didn't mean to link.

>>43488074
I'm not sure... I dont think it would since its consumed and just effects your luck. But It is banned in competitive events.

>>43487668

Nah Colin Creevy is paparazzi at best, I'm talking legitimate photographer

>>43488570
Would there even be that much money in that? It seems like the daily prophet just has hundreds of photographers and why would you want to photograph something than can move, if you can just paint something imaginary that can move.

>>43488843
We should find out if there's a National Geographic equivalent in the wizarding world. Or maybe Anya can introduce us to the Muggle NatGeo, and we become inspired to start a Wizard version.

>>43489456

That's what I'm saying, I would not want to go to the journalistic side of things and it seems like there are way more opportunities than what are provided by the books
