(3 Fate Points)

House: Ravenclaw

Millicent is Anti-Social. This is the system-specific trait, not the popular definition of anti-social. She is not socially awkward, shy, or lonely; she actively hates people. But she is not a sociopath (she does feel emotions, and she does understand social expectations and rules, and does follow them, and is not manipulative; she just hates people).

However, being thrust into an environment where she MUST interact with people, no longer having the safe haven of her own room or of Dad and Mum, and with the threat of being disowned, has forced Millicent to begin accepting more people.

This does not mean that Millicent is lonely and wants friends for the sake of companionship or for the sake of friendship; she still feels hatred for people outside of the very small circle of family, familiar, doll, and acquaintance(s).

And that hatred will only subside with time, or her being forced to get to know the person better and becoming acclimated to them.

Her hatred isn't an uncontrolled thing either, unlike her fear of bodies of water or nausea regarding seafood; she can push down that hatred enough to work with people. People can do things they hate, and be unhappy with it but do it all the same.


Traits:
Near-Death
>A fear of large bodies of water and being unable to stomach foods with obvious fish.
Hexer
>Natural aptitude to hexes, but not trusted by others because of it.
Supernatural Luck: Able to refresh a Fate Point on an 8, 9, & 10 on a d10.

With the wand within your grasp you don't waste a second as you run back to the others, the figure giving you chills down your spine. Harriet has woken up but she has a nasty gash on the back of her neck where blood trickles down her back.

"We need to get her medical attention as soon as possible" Joel says as he holds her up "I have a plan" he says, drawing his wand.

"Accio broom!"

Nothing seems to happen as Joel and the others quickly make for the otherside of the school before any students or teachers arrive. Then, from the air a busted old broom falls down by Joel's feet. He sits on it and puts Harriet infront of him as she tiredly holds onto it too.

"I'm going to take her to Professor Trib's potion's supplies" he says "I should be able to find the correct healing potion"

It was a good name, I couldn't resist.

You manage to return to the your dormitries without drawing attention to yourself, the door already open as students filled the entrance as they look to the forest fire.

When you return to your room, parting ways with Nigel, you find Elise and sit on your bed, Tara clambering onto your should as she gives the feline equivelent of a hug.

"Tergeo" says Olivia as she points her wand at herself and then at you, cleaning the soot and other forest dirt from your robes, night dress and bathrobe. You undress and change into your proper school clothes.

You still feel a rush from casting the fireball spell so unexpectantly, killing the house elf out of self defense. Should you have let Joel fly off with Harriet like that? If the teachers had flocked to the fire then the potions storage closet should be unprotected.

Harry and co didn't want or need teachers to hold their hands all the time. Also, you don't know which teachers you can trust, if at all, or even if they are even evil or not. It's complicated. What I'm saying is, you're the protagonist. Protag.

You know, he's been having a lot of trouble casting spells in class since the beginning and now all of sudden he's become pretty damn contempt.

The paranoia in me is telling me that he's been getting help or a "boost" to his magical capabilities but in return for his services. And who's been asking of his aid? Professor Avori! During the party he had a pretty weak excuse on the reason why he was chosen, and he began to get a little defensive when we kept badgering him on about what he did that day.

I dunno what else to add but this, but does anyone have any more fuel to add to the fire?

Excuse me.

You decide it's best to wait for Joel and neglect any lessons you may have coming up.

Your thoughts wander to the figure in the forest. Next to destroying the house elf with your magic the image of the dark figure won't escape from your mind.

What did you see?

A long cloak with a hood that looked cheap and raggy, it was black and covered in specks of dried twig and debree.

You remember seeing...a wand in the figures hand. And he was a man with a athletic build and heavy arching shoulder on which the house elf sat. He had turned to you when the dawn came and obscured his face.

Had you seen those house elf's before? Possibly, they could have been the ones from the great hall kitchens but you would never be able to tell them apart.

You think of Joel and the prowess he has been showing lately in his magic abilities, the way he conjured the broom and took control of the situation. In lessons he has always been average or a little more than, never to the point he could fight off three house elfs without taking so much as a scratch. Maybe he was good in difficult situations. Maybe it was something else.

"It's just a house elf" you say, casually as you look out the dorm window, watching as students stand and watch the smoke rising near the cottage. Good thing you managed to put out that fire when you did.

You don't understand.

"They're like cats, and other animals. I have house elfs at home who serve my family, we never make a fuss when they die, we just get another one"

Olivia is speechless.

"You really aren't as smart as you try to make out to be" she says

Before you can react to this you hear Joel call your names from downstairs. You follow Olivia and find him sitting on the sofa looking into the dying embers of the fireplace. His face is pale white like his hair as turns and looks at you. Nigel comes thudding down the stairs a moment later, wand drawn in the event of trouble. He eases up.

"She's okay" he says "I went to Trib's cabnet but I couldn't find anything to heal her with. I had to use a spell instead, thankfully it worked well enough to stop the bleeding and close the wound. She's going down to the ward in a few minutes to get herself checked out."

Also aggressive action might flesh out him a little bit more.

"Millie just stop it" he says as you enter your room.

You can't form words, there's a look in his eyes you've never seen before. He's deadly serious.

"Stop with this act. I've had enough. I thought it was because you were brought up under those ridiculous parents of yours which sheltered you from the world. But no, even when you're at Hogwarts, one of the greatest places in the wizarding world, you're not happy. You don't trust anyone apart from Olivia.

Like I said, I've no issue drawing anything.
How about I just come back with multiple thumbnails and you guys just pick one or something, that'll be much easier. I'm pretty much free till the remainder of next week, revisions will be accepted.

Expect some established shots of the whole composition due sunday or saturday evening. Afterwards we can talk over specific details such as each individual appearance, demeanor etc and if things go ok you'll have it done at the end of that day.

One more thing though: Is there any specific style you'd prefer to be emulated? I'm not a regular here, don't want to come in blazing with semi-realism or anything out of place.

I want to Joel, really I do but I just can't believe that you'd suddenly become this good out of nowhere

So I'll trust you, I guess

I'm just...bad at people

>>23709320
Let's point out that someone already tried to fool us once wearing someone else's face. We can't afford to trust anyone blindly.

If Joel is bad, he already knew about the incident and we're giving him nothing. If he isn't, then at least he knows why we're being paranoid.

"I'm...sorry" you say, looking at your shoes.

"Someone already fooled me into believing they were someone they weren't." you say "I can't just trust you like that"

Joel clenches his fist and sits on your bed, putting his head in his hands. Then you think, something in your gut telling you he's not being completely honest with you.

"Then tell me why you're suddenly so good at spells and why you've been acting so different lately"

He looks up at you, sizing you up.

Time for me to gloat but I told you he had secrets of his own.

"As long as you're honest, all this crazy stuff is happening, it's too much for me. I'm eleven"

Joel holds his hands up and says "I'm...magically gifted, no, that's not right, it makes it seem as if I've got some kind of special power. Well, look, I'm good at magic. Like really good, and I know it sounds like I'm gloating but...I'm way ahead of everyone else. I try to hide it sometimes but it's hard, does that make sense?

>Does it?

>>23709639

i dunno, is there precedent for exceptionally gifted people like that in this universe?

Ask him how it works.

>>23709639
"Yes and its not gloating if its true. But do you why?"

(I don't thinks hes just a wizard, perhaps half elf or half some other creature? either that or like a reincarnation of tom riddle or other uber wiz)

>>23709639
"I... guess? Is it a hereditary thing? Can you cast spells you don't know, or can you learn spells extremely quickly?"

>>23709639
I'm going with a tentative yes for now, but he's not entirely off the chopping block. Once we resolve this, can we ask him why he wanted to hide from Gleeson?

>>23709639
"Yeah, I think I've heard of people like that, not with magic but other things."

Right?

>>23709683
*do you know why ..fucking typo

>>23709639
"Well... you're in Ravenclaw for a reason. I'm guessing that's why Professor Avori has picked you out in his investigation."

Hmmm. I guess this can happen. Some wizards are clearly more innately powerful than others - Voldemort etc.

Might explain the white hair. He could have some magical creature in his lineage.

>>23709688

>>23709639
"Not really. But more importantly, why did you want us to hide Harriet from Professor Gleeson?"

>>23709710
In that case,

>Why did you want to hide from Gleeson?

Curiously, not accusingly. It seems strange to me that he'd want to hide a cursed student from a professor, even if it meant getting into trouble for being in the forest.

>>23709688
Yes. Let's ask if Gleeson is a baddie or not. Also, ask if this is the reason why he wanted to do that extracurricular activity.

>>23709639

It makes some sense I guess, why did you want to hide from gleeson? He seems a little slow but he doesn't seem like a bad person

This is a quest about lesbians and Harry Potter?

>>23709761
> a little slow

That's a fair point. Chance are if Gleeson had tried to help, Harriet would end up trampled and eaten by wild beasts

>>23709782
No lesbians, OP's image is just Sisterly Love.

>>23709782

Very tenuously the latter despite some anon's efforts towards the former with millie

"I wish I could turn it off" he continues, losing himself in thought "Sometimes when I get angry, or sad, I can make things happen without meaning them to. When I enter into competitions with others I always win, unless I choose to lose. People don't like that. They're afraid of that. So I keep it hidden from everyone"

He looks up at you.

"Except you"

You feel yourself blush and go weak in the knees. You change the subject.

"Why didn't you want Mr. Gleesan to find us?"
"Isn't it obvious? We would have been expelled and likely blamed for what happened to Harriet. What if he is the one behind everything? Haven't you given this any thought? It's a teacher. It's so obviously a teacher. You can't trust them"

Part of me still suspects that this might be about him and not about the trident.
Like maybe if his body was found, it'd incriminate someone?"

Not sure how I feel about all this. Excuse the TVTropes term but I'm getting a "Relationship Sue" vibe from Joel and this really isn't the first time that's happened. I'll keep my paranoia over him being not what he seems out of blind optimism regarding OP's writing ability.

>>23710316

He never sent Sam home...Sam's the cat. He's been transfigured. When a person transfigures themselves or is transfigured by another, they resolve to the level of the animal they become.

What possible benefit does that have?

>>23710622
The cat watched us, but didn't attack. Harriet reacted to Gleeson arriving, not the cat seeing us. However, Harriet spotted us immediately, even though we were behind a tree. The cat could have told her.

I've enjoyed it greatly. The only negative comment I can make is that this solution seems a bit out of the blue. A little railroad-y. I would have preferred being allowed to form our own conclusions by being given more evidence.

>>23710918
Joel's conclusion that Bergle is the culprit seems a bit hasty, and Sam being polymorphed into a cat doesn't make much sense.

As for it getting too plot-heavy, it might be because some of the clues are too subtle.
But it wouldn't be fun if the mystery is too easy, either.

>>23710918
I like the plot, though I wouldn't mind more class scenes and social stuff. As for theories... hard to say. There's nothing really definitive on anyone, the only people I don't suspect are Gleeson and the real Trib. And Harriet, Nigel, and Olivia, I guess, but only because there's no evidence there.

Alright, here's where I'm at

The person behind everything is that squib guy from before, who is currently using a selection of artifacts. no one thinks to check for magical ways of him doing stuff since he's a squib

He's using something to change forms and lure the competitors for the trident out so he can zombify them and make them do his work for him

He's controling bergle since bergle can be outside after dark and just do stuff BUT he controls others so he can sweep a larger area in a shorter time

The earlier poisoning was so that he could get a whole bunch of hogwarts staff working on a cure and therefore distracted while he worked

Sam is not a fucking cat, that's retarded
