Booksmart, you don't need to erase anything lol. He could have been paying her a visit at the ministry. and heidi, thats cool starting her off fresh. as far as the detection thing, yeah I was just throwing it out there about him. As far as her use of her powers, it was reported. By him :-) if he comes forward with it, much less likely anyone will suspect foul play. in the aftermath he volunteered himself to start monitoring them in the ministries stead.

Just adding to Heidi's comment about magical anomolies not conciding to school sememesters. Kaeden's accident happened months before the school year starts. There is just a lot for the Misistry to decide. The same would go for Anya. The Ministry is always scared of something new at first.
I also really need to know what's going on with Kaeden's summer. Lessons at the Ministry or at Hogwarts? I'll continue her interactions until a decision is made though.

I think Kevin (Malcolm) said the headmaster was visiting her at the ministry of magic, so you don't have to change a thing.

It doesn't need to interrupt anything, as much as he despises it, he is pulling some strings there with Hermione's help. They would be concerned but he is assuring them its under control. And he's keeping them informed with the progress he wants them to see.

Alrighty! So my post is gonna end with her accidentally having a magical outburst. Out of curiosity, how is he going to know it happened? Let me know if I need to include anything in my post that hints at it!

Of all his prospects she is the most promising, he is always keeping a close eye on her.

Alrighty! I finally figured where she's going to work. Charing Cross Books and I read about it on the HP wiki. It just happens to be right across from The Leaky Cauldron so that's very convenient!

So how does Hogwarts handle cellphones now days? They weren't really a problem for the actual series, but now 20 years later, almost every kid will have one

Good point booksmart. Hmm, Kevin? What would the headmaster do about cell phones?
|
|

Post by Zizhun on Feb 22, 2015 17:05:34 GMT -8
Would they even be a problem for most of the kids, or only the ones who lived in the muggle world?

Post by Vye on Feb 22, 2015 17:06:59 GMT -8
Probably only the muggles since the wizards are typically behind the times. But now that I think about it Nicholas would probably have one.

That's a good question. Well for those students from the Muggle world or anyone else inclined to get a cell phone in their spare time. Use of them would be restricted to weekends only.

Heidi, that alley she escaped into. was it just a secluded spot or was that diagon alley? Just makkng sure and was there anything you where hoping for before you got a response? that was an intense scene, loved it!

Just an alley. She can't get into Diagon Alley. The entrance to the Leaky Cauldron is actually in the muggle world and the book store is across from that. She's just in an alleyway somewhere behind the bookstore in London, near the Leaky Cauldron.

After we're all done on the train, we should skip ahead to when they're all arriving at Hogwarts. Does that sound good to everyone?

I was hoping to start the transitioning to their arrival at Hogwarts by having the stopping of the train wake up Kaeden. So when y'all are ready to have conversations interrupted just say so

Interesting point regarding cell phones. If you think about it, cell phone were already around a lot in the world during Harry Potter's time but nobody in the books or movies used them. I thought it was because they conversed through owls and by magical means. I agree with Kevin that they'd definitely be restricted and probably have to be kept in the dorms unless it's the weekend. It's better that way, I think, because then they have to actually talk in person and if there's trouble, it can't be easily handled by calling for backup. Plus we get to use owls and other fun magical stuff! I just searched for methods of communication in Harry Potter. Scroll down and look at the Subcategories area. I was surprised by the vibe one! I had no idea that they communicated by telepathy?? I'm guessing it can only be done by the very advanced wizards and witches though because I don't remember anybody using it in the books or movies. harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Communication

Yeah the thought occurred to me when I was thinking about my brother when he was in basic training. They take the phone away from you, you don't get to keep it. And you can use it on weekends, or maybe it was even just one day you could have access to it. seemed appropriate, since with their rise in usage in the muggle world it would be hard to deny them. but it would be extremely supervised.

I have had some ideas for super ancient civilizations in the Harry Potter universe. They would be way before anything J. K. Rowling set up and thus wouldn't interfere with cannon. I thought Nicholas could discover books with old information in them, and that's what got me thinking. If people think it's a good idea, I'll share my thoughts, but if we'd rather not mess with history I don't have to.

Vye, that sounds awesome!
What do y'all think about Peeves? Should he be at the school or not?

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Feb 27, 2015 21:06:27 GMT -8
Vye - I'm always up for hearing ideas! What kind of information? If it includes information such as the beginnings or origins of magic, that might even be useful to Marius. To have the origins or early studies of it may help to solve certain problems that always arise. Or is magic something that's always been around since the beginning? I think Peeves would be fun to have. Like with anything that may affect multiple players, we have to be careful that he's not interfering with a certain plot someone is trying to play out, should those characters be in the same vicinity. I don't think we'd hit that problem too often, if at all, but still, run it by in this thread to make sure if you're gonna have him interfering in a spot with other characters or specifically with someone else's character.

Here are some of my ideas. These would be excerpts from a book Nicholas might find. Obviously the book would give more details as these are just basic ideas that have been floating in my head. If we decide not to use them or to change them, that's fine with me. Excerpts From:
A Personal Account of the Three Way War
The victors of a war are the ones who get to write the history, and thus it is with this account. I like to think of myself as a fair and just man, but I am afraid that I cannot objectively present the views of the other two armies. The only thing I can think to say in their defense is that it is human nature to fear what is different. However, the extent to which the other groups took this fear is downright horrifying. It is impossible to say which group started first. They sprung up about the same time, and each began using the other’s actions as justification for their own. It is astounding the rate at which one unified civilization broke into three factions. Well, at first it was more like two, and I am sad to say that my group was not one of the first two, though it is to be expected. The radical groups rose first, and the mediating group did not rise up for several years. Those are several years and lives we can never get back, and I am sad to say that we sat back and let atrocities happen, even if we did not know the full extent. The greatest tragedy is that we would probably not have acted if our lives hadn’t been on the line. In our defense, we could have easily joined the radical groups and fallen into hatred of our fellow man and did not. As the atrocities became less and less hidden, those persecuted and those lucky enough the not have been whilst still not joining the radical groups joined together, despite our differences. And I think it is because of our differences that we won. I find it horrifying that such a bloody and terrible event in human history could be caused by something so trivial as magic. Yet, it was. Again, it is impossible to say which happened first, but at some point those without magic became increasingly jealous of those with it, and those who possessed magic began to think themselves superior to those who did not. Injustices done on both sides escalated the matter until full out war was upon us. Now, I will go in depth on the different groups and their practices. This is not for the faint of heart, but it is necessary. We need to be reminded of the horrors humans are capable of so that they might be avoided or at least knowledgeably fought in the future. Appugnamus Magicum (Roughly means we are against magic) This radical group popped up with claims of magical people persecuting them and used that as an excuse to persecute right back. As things escalated, their crimes got worse and worse. Ironically, they found that they could not defeat magic users on their own and thus they decided to enslave those with magic by holding their families hostage and other various means. They often horrifically punished those slaves who failed the organization and often took it out on the poor souls’ families. Magicus Aevitas (Roughly means magic forever) This group arose with claims of people not in possession of magic harming those with magic, and used that as a claim to rise up against those whom they called muggles. (The term means marijuana, and it was meant to suggest that people lacked magic because they smoked too much.) One of their most heinous crimes was experimenting on giving magic to their captives so they would not have cause to fight them anymore. By the time they were defeated, they had almost mastered the art, though several failures and thus deaths paved the way. At first, all methods were unstable and resulted in death for all but the strong muggles. Eventually they realized that they could take the magic from one person and give it to several others. However, even at the end of their studies, a magical person would die having his magic ripped from him in order to be passed onto the muggles. One person’s magic could provide for hundreds of muggles and needless to say they only did this to those with magic whom they considered to be traitors. They found this worked best with those magical people born to non-magical parents and theorized that this was due to being more closely related to the muggles.

Wow, I wasn't expecting something so well written out already! Lol, I thought you just had ideas bouncing around. This was really good!
This sounds like something that took place so long ago that I don't think it'd contradict anything we know of the HP world. What does everyone else think?

Alright, I think everything on the train is wrapped up, unless Amelia wants to do one more post. So, do we want to skip ahead to when the train arrives at the station in Hogsmeade?

Who is second in command now? Or at least, who will be in charge of the sorting ceremony? McGonagall was in charge for Harry, but who will it be now?
