More datamine thoughts: 
Tumblr media
Ok, Charlie looks pretty great. Probably my favourite design next to Talbott. Also, at first, I thought that his necklace is the dragon scale we found in the “Egg Hunt SQ” in Y5. After all, we learnt from Fred and George in Y6 that Charlie still talks about it. Now that I look at it closely, it seems to be simply a dragon head, but I’m gonna assume Charlie made the necklace out of the scale anyway because you can’t stop me (and we know he’s a soft boy).
Tumblr media
Alanza looks quite lovely, but I have to ask: what the hell is she even doing here? Like… Jam City, you lost your chance to properly use her character. Just let the poor girl out of this purgatory already!
And finally…
Tumblr media
I suppose I don’t really have to say it, but once I unlock it, I’m never taking it off. (I probably will, but you know what I mean.)

Artemis Hexley and the Circle of Khanna
Tumblr media
Chapter 18: Infinite, Unbroken, Forever
A/N: A circle of friends is formed. Warnings: discussions of grief and loss, naughty acronyms. Special mentions to @thatravenpuffwitch @lifeofkaze @that-scouse-wizard @samshogwarts and @cursebreakerfarrier for helping to come up with ideas for the gang’s patronuses.
Tumblr media
The Easter holidays had arrived, but neither Artemis nor any of her friends were returning home for the break. Now that the final Cursed Vault had become active once more, they were planning on using the holidays to prepare themselves to break the curse. Artemis watched the Thestrals pull the carriages away towards Hogsmeade station before walking up to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, which had been left vacant, the professor having left the castle for the holidays.
It was here that her friends met, all of them arriving one by one, with the exception of Chiara, who had volunteered to take extra shifts in the Hospital Wing until Madam Buckthorn, the Matron of St Mungo’s Hospital, found a replacement for Madam Pomfrey. 
Once everyone else had gathered, Tulip summoned over a blackboard and piece of chalk and stood behind Artemis, who was facing the rest of the group. 
“What’s the chalk for?” Artemis asked, looking back at her over her shoulder.
“It’s a meeting. I’m taking minutes,” Tulip said, already drawing a crude caricature of a wizard in the bottom left corner of the board. “It’s a visual aid for when we are brainstorming ideas.”
“Right. What do we need to brainstorm, exactly?”
“You know, what we want to achieve, how we’re going to achieve it.  What we’re going to call ourselves.”
“Won’t we just call each other by our names?”
“Not each other, I mean as a group,” Tulip looked up from her drawing, which was looking more and more Snape-like by the second. “What’s the point in forming a secret society if we don’t even get a name?”
“I mean, this isn’t really a secret society,” Artemis said, and Tulip frowned.
“Well, it should be. We’re up against this cabal, and they’re a secret society. We’re just making things even.”
Artemis considered it for a moment, before turning to the others. “Fine. Anyone got any bright ideas for a name?”
“Oh,” Penny raised her hand. “How about the Curse Club?”
“Sounds like we are making curses, not breaking them,” muttered Merula. “Besides, it’s hardly very original, is it?”
“Well, have you got any better ideas?”
“How about Shut Up Haywood? How is that for an idea?”
“Merula, be nice. We are here to break curses together, not fight each other,” Artemis told her. She called over her shoulder to Tulip. “Don’t write that one down.”
“Too late, I already have.”
“Never mind then,” Artemis shrugged apologetically at Penny. “Any advances on Curse Club? Yes, Ismelda?”
“Death to Rakepick.” 
“Oh. Um, well, that’s… original, I guess.”
“I’ve got it,” said Tonks. “What about Together In Total Solidarity?”
Behind Artemis, Tulip began to snigger, and Artemis turned to look at what she was doing. Seeing the large capital letters that had been written on the board, Artemis rolled her eyes.
“Tonks! Take this seriously.”
“That could work, too. Taking It Totally Seriously,” Tonks grinned, and Artemis scowled at her. “Or, how about Witches Against Nasty-”
“Can anyone else think of something? Anything?”
“I’ve got an idea,” said Ben, frowning deeply. “I don’t think it’s that good, though.”
“I’m sure it won’t be worse than what we have already.”
“Okay. Well, what about the Circle of Khanna?”
The room fell quiet, not even the sound of Tulip’s chalk on the blackboard interrupting the hush. 
“The Circle of Khanna,” Merula repeated slowly, as if she were tasting the words as she spoke them. “You know, I actually don’t hate it.”
“I like that mentions Rowan,” said Badeea, as Tulip started to write on the board once more. “And I like the idea of a circle. A perfect circle is infinite, unbroken, forever…”
“Like friendship should be,” whispered Penny, her eyes filling with tears. Artemis gave Charlie in the seat next to Penny a pointed look, and he patted her on the forearm, somewhat awkwardly.
“All in favour of the Circle of Khanna, raise your hand.”
Fifteen hands, including Artemis’ own, rose into the air. Only one remained on a desk.
“I just think we could make it a little better,” said Tonks.
“We are not adding another word that begins with a C,” Artemis told her, and Tonks sighed loudly before raising her own hand. Artemis turned to Tulip, who was already underlining the name Circle of Khanna on the board. “So that’s that settled. We are now the Circle of Khanna.” 
Artemis found herself smiling at the name as she spoke it. Somehow, it made it feel like Rowan was still included, and it reminded her who they were there for.
“Rowan was always telling me how I needed to think about things before I did them, to be ready and not go charging straight into stuff. And she always helped me with that. Whenever I did anything dangerous, she always used to say that she didn’t like it, but she was going to make sure whatever it was I was doing, it would be done properly,” she told them, now smiling fondly at the memory of Rowan’s cross and anxious face. “I think she would be tutting at us for going back to the Vaults, but at least if we are going to do it, we can do it in a way she would have been happy with. She had goals, and she had plans on how she was going to achieve them. She worked hard, she prepared and researched and-”
“So, what are our goals, Hexley?” Merula interrupted her.
“Well, that’s not just up to me, is it? What do you lot all want?” When no one said anything, Artemis sighed. “Fine, I’ll go first. I want to make sure that Rowan’s death wasn’t in vain, and I want to break the statue curse.”
“I want to break all the curses for good,” said Ben.
“I want us to get there before Rakepick and the rest of the Cabal does.” 
“Maybe we could find out some more about the Cabal, that might help, too.”
“I want to get revenge on Rakepick for what she did to Rowan,” Merula told them, and Ismelda nodded emphatically in agreement.
Behind Artemis, Tulip called out, “I’m going to write ‘justice’ rather than ‘revenge’. Revenge sounds… kind of murder-y.”
“And?” Merula shrugged.
“Well, personally, I would just like to make sure that we are all safe,” said Penny. “Us and the rest of the school. I know that dealing with the Cursed Vaults and dealing with Rakepick and the Cabal is important, but we don’t know how long that will take. We need to learn how to defend ourselves.”
“And we need to learn how to fight properly, too,” Diego nodded, and Artemis had to stop herself from scowling at him. “Defence is all well and good, but when you’re up against an opponent like Rakepick… I can teach you all to duel, if you like.”
“That won’t be necessary,” Artemis told him, rolling her eyes.
“Well, you’ll need someone to be an instructor.”
“Yeah, but we already have someone to do that. Someone who actually knows what they’re doing when it comes to duelling and breaking curses.”
“Oh, really? Are you going to be teaching us all this, then?”
“No. He is.”
Artemis looked beyond Diego to the back of the classroom, to the door that led out into the corridor. She smiled as she made eye contact with the wizard leaning against the doorframe, dressed in a dark collared shirt and dragonhide boots, with long red hair pulled back into a ponytail. As the group turned to look at him, a smirk began to play on his handsome face.
“Okay, gang,” said Bill Weasley, stepping into the classroom and rolling up his sleeves. “Let’s get to work, shall we?”
Bill had agreed to spend each and every afternoon over the Easter holidays helping Artemis and her friends; teaching them about the basics of curse-breaking, practising duelling and defensive spells, and helping them to plan their approach to dealing with the final Cursed Vault.
“Thanks again for this,” Artemis told him as she helped him to pack away the training dummies a few days later. “You really didn’t have to, I know it’s meant to be your holiday as well as ours.”
“Technically, I’m on study leave,” Bill replied. “If anything, this is good revision for me.”
“I can’t believe you still have to study and take exams. I’d have thought that you would just be allowed to start straight away.”
“Artemis, have you learnt nothing in all these years? You have to practise and prepare for this kind of stuff. That’s the whole point of me being here, isn’t it?”
“I guess,” Artemis shrugged. “I’m just glad that you’re here.”
“I was hardly going to leave you in the lurch after what happened to Rowan. Especially now that you’re planning on returning to the final Vault. Wouldn’t want to miss that.”
“So, you’ll help break the curse?” 
“Yeah, of course. As good as you all are, I think having a Curse-Breaker with you - a professional Curse-Breaker - would be beneficial. Just means we have to get you all ready before I go off on placement again,” grinning, Bill nudge Artemis with his elbow. “This is all provided that you haven’t outgrown me now that you’re almost of age yourself.”
“I could never outgrow you.”
“That is true, you could barely outgrow an elf.”
Artemis pushed Bill and he laughed, retaliating by putting her in a headlock and ruffling her hair as she attempted to kick him in the shin. Eventually, he let her go, still laughing as he summoned his jacket from the back of a chair.
“I’d better be getting back to my actual studying,” he told Artemis. As he got to the door, he turned back and his smile became less mocking and more kind. “It’s good to have you back, little one.”
Artemis wrinkled her nose. “I never went anywhere.”
“You know what I mean. You’re looking more like yourself again.”
“Am I?”
“Yeah. Maybe not quite the same as you used to, but a bloody sight better than you did the last time I saw you. See you tomorrow.”
“Yeah. See you tomorrow.”
Barely had Bill left the classroom before there was a quiet knock on the doorframe. Artemis turned to see who was there, and found herself looking straight at Chiara Lobosca. 
“I’m sorry, Chiara. We’ve already finished for the day,” she told her. “Really, it’s a shame. It would have been nice to have had you here.”
“Thank you. I’m sorry I haven’t been at any of the meetings so far.”
That was true. The Circle of Khanna had been meeting daily for four days now, and Chiara had yet to attend a single meeting; even at the first one, which Artemis had expected her to arrive late for, she had been absent for the entire duration.
“That’s okay. I know you’re helping out in the Hospital Wing, and that you must be really busy. I just meant that everyone would have liked it if you had been able to join in.”
“This is actually why I came to talk to you,” Chiara said, closing the door behind her. “I don’t think they would.”
“What do you mean? Of course they would!”
“No, Artemis, they wouldn’t. Not if they knew… Well, you know,” Chiara pursed her lips, her eyes drifting across the classroom to a poster about lycanthropy that had been stuck to one of the walls. 
“I’m sure none of them would mind,” Artemis said, knowing as soon as she said the words that they might not be true. Penny still was terrified of werewolves, and she did not know how Penny would react to Chiara’s secret. “And you don’t have to tell them.”
“I feel guilty not telling them, though. It’s like you said last week when you told us all about the Cursed Vaults and what happened to Rowan. People deserve to know the truth. How can I join this group you’ve put together, be friends with them, and let them trust me, when deep down I know that I’m lying to them?”
“Okay,” Artemis nodded. “So, why don’t you tell them, and then if they don’t-”
“It’s not that simple, though, is it?” Said Chiara, smiling sadly. “You know how much stigma there is about this. Remember Professor Lee? He was in charge of the Werewolf Capture Unit. There’s a whole unit in the Ministry of Magic that is dedicated to capturing people like me, like we’re…” Chiara shook her head. “You know why I have a room to myself.”
“So that you can take your potions in peace. And so you can’t accidentally hurt someone when you transform.”
“I wish. It’s so that no one has to know that I’m a werewolf. There are people who would try and get me kicked out of school if they found out the truth about me.”
“Well, they’re stupid and wrong,” Artemis said. “And besides, they’d never get their way.”
“They might. People like me lose their jobs all the time when their employers find out about them being werewolves. That’s how Lupin ended up in Hogsmeade, he had just been fired and he was desperate,” Chiara’s pale face was flushed with anguish. “I want to be a Healer, Artemis. It’s what I’m passionate about and it’s what I am good at. But if it becomes common knowledge that I’m… what I am…”
“Then you might not be able to be a Healer?”
“No one is going to want a werewolf looking after them when they are sick.”
“Well, they should,” said Artemis. Chiara shook her head. “I mean it. You’re a brilliant Healer.”
“I’m not a Healer, Healers go through training and-”
“Yeah, and you’re brilliant even without that. When I was in the Hospital Wing before Christmas… You were the only thing that wasn’t completely horrible about it, actually. I can’t imagine anyone being a better Healer than you, not ever.”
Chiara closed her eyes, a tear running down her cheek. Artemis swallowed.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you.”
“You didn’t,” Chiara rubbed a tear away. “I’m just… I wish I didn’t have to go through life lying to everyone about who I am.”
“You don’t.”
“Not everyone is accepting, Artemis.”
“I know, but that’s not what I mean,” Artemis told her. “I just mean that… Yes, you’re a werewolf, but that isn’t who you are. It’s what you are, and even then it’s only a part of what you are, like… I don’t know, how many brothers and sisters you have, or whether you’re allergic to anything. It’s not lying to not tell people about that, why would it be lying not to tell them about this, either?” When Chiara didn’t reply, Artemis sighed, “You said last week that you regretted not spending time with Rowan when she was alive, not getting to know her because you were too busy putting a distance between yourself and people. If you keep doing that, you’re only going to regret missing out on spending time with more people who would probably really like you, if you’d only give them a chance to get to know you - actually you the person, not a werewolf - because they would.”
“You really think so?”
“I know so,” said Artemis, smiling mischievously. “Especially Jae Kim.”
“Jae Kim?”
“Yeah. You must have seen him watching you dance at the Valentine’s Day ball.”
“As if,” Chiara laughed, despite still looking tearful. “You really were tipsy that evening.”
“Tipsy, but not blind,” Artemis said, with a little giggle. “Come on. Join us. You know you want to.”
Chiara breathed. “Are you sure?”
“Positive. I lost one of my oldest friends this year. I’m not going to lose a new one as well.”
Artemis held out her arms, and Chiara hesitated before hugging her. At first she was tense, as if she were not used to being hugged, but then she exhaled, and her body seemed to relax.
“Artemis,” she said, lifting her chin from Artemis’ shoulder.
“Hm?”
“Does that blackboard really say what I think it says?”
“Yeah. Don’t ask.”
With Chiara Lobosca now officially a member, the Circle of Khanna was complete. Or at least, Artemis had assumed it to be so until one afternoon near the end of the Easter holidays, when there was another newcomer in the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom.
“Artemis will say that it’s okay,” said Beatrice Haywood, looking expectantly at Artemis as she walked into the classroom. 
“Uh, say what is okay?”
“Beatrice wants to join the Circle of Khanna,” Bill explained, looking between Beatrice and Penny, whose lips were pursed and arms crossed.
“But she is too young!” Penny said tersely.
“No, I’m not. You were all breaking curses when you were in second year.”
Artemis looked at Penny. “I mean, she has a point.”
“That was before we understood how dangerous this was,” Penny sighed, and Artemis looked between her and Beatrice. “Artemis, you can’t be considering this. She is twelve!” 
“And a half,” added Beatrice. Beside her, Bill chuckled.
“I’ve got an idea,” he said, sitting on the desk behind him so that he no longer towered over the small girl. “Beatrice, your sister is right. You can’t join the group. This is too dangerous for you to get involved in.”
“But-”
“But,” Bill raised his eyebrows and smiled, “we are also learning some self defence spells. Maybe you could join in for that bit. You could be an… associate member.”
“What does that mean?”
“Well, it’s like a guest. A special guest who is invited to join in for special occasions, even though they aren’t usually involved. How about that?”
Beatrice frowned before nodding her head and going to sit on a desk near Jae Kim. Penny watched her before looking across at Bill.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Artemis tapped her foot through the pause in which neither Bill nor Penny spoke. When she could bear the awkwardness no longer, she cleared her throat.
“So…”
“Yes. Sorry.” Bill jumped up onto his feet as Penny stepped backwards and away from him. He raised his voice so that everyone could hear him, “Artemis, do we have any updates on the Cursed Vault?”
“Yeah, I think so,” Artemis nodded. “So, Talbott was able to get a bird’s eye view… I mean, a view from above the lake.” As she corrected herself, she saw Talbott sigh quietly and roll his eyes. “Anyway, the water is really still in the middle where the water is deepest. It’s only in the shallows where the Grindylows are that things look kind of angry.”
“Does that mean that the Vault isn’t in the very deep part of the lake, or just that only the Grindylows are affected by it?”
“It doesn’t mean either of those things,” said Talbott quietly. “They don’t call it the Black Lake for nothing. I only saw the surface, I don’t know what is going on underneath.”
“So we know nothing new, then?” asked Merula, her eyebrows raised.
“Not exactly,” Talbott looked out of the window. “Dumbledore’s banned the dementors from going near the areas where students are, but there’s still the odd one around. They’re spread out around the perimeters of the grounds. There are two or three on the other side of the lake.”
“That’s concerning,” said Bill, frowning deeply. “We don’t want to attract their attention.”
Artemis shrugged. “They’re all the way over on the other side of the lake. What are they going to do? Swim to the Vault to stop us?”
“No, but if they think that what we are doing is suspicious, they might well break Dumbledore’s rules. I’m sure they’d be allowed on the grounds properly if there was a genuine reason for them to be there. We don’t want to give them that reason.”
“So, what do you think we should do?”
“I think we should learn to protect ourselves against them, just in case,” Bill nodded his head. “Right, chaps. Who wants to learn how to conjure a Patronus?”
He raised his wand and called out the incantation, and conjured a large silvery white creature, one with large paws, a long tail, and a thick mane of fur. 
“It’s a lion!” Bea Haywood’s eyes lit up at the sight of it. “Are we all going to get one?”
“Hopefully, but they won’t all be lions. And they’re not easy, so some of you might not be able to make actual animals, but let’s give it a go.”
Bill enlisted the help of Tonks to help teach the group the Patronus charm, and soon the Circle of Khanna were having the best meeting they had ever had, surrounded by a menagerie of silvery-white animals: Bill’s lion, Tonks’ jack rabbit, Merula’s blackbird, Jae’s fox, and Tulip’s rat. 
“They’re rather delightful, aren’t they?” Penny giggled, watching her dolphin patronus swim through the air around her, spinning and frolicking as it went. “I never thought that anything to do with Defence Against the Dark Arts could be so pretty!”
Artemis smiled, and looked around the room at the other patronuses. A bear was bumbling around Barnaby, a peacock strutting next to Andre, a bushbaby curled up close around Liz Tuttle’s neck, and a dove flitting though the air above Chiara’s head. Even little Bea Haywood had managed to conjure the tiniest of patronuses, a bumblebee that only managed to buzz around for a second before disappearing as Beatrice gasped at it. 
But when Artemis attempted to conjure her own patronus, she found herself unable to do so. Instead of her familiar lithe cheetah, the only patronus she could produce was a silver shield that shimmered in the air in front of her before disappearing. It was an improvement on the last time she had attempted the spell, the same night that she had left the mirror in the Room of Requirement, but she had not expected to find casting the spell so difficult even now. 
Disappointed in herself and her feeble excuse for a patronus, she lowered her wand. As she did, Badeea raised her own and conjured yet another silver-white animal, a giraffe that moved through the classroom slowly and gracefully, its doe-like eyes watchful and intelligent-looking. Artemis stared at the giraffe patronus for a minute, before slipping out into the corridor to sit on the staircase alone, listening to the distant gasps and giggles of her friends from a distance.
“Wotcher,” said a voice, and Artemis turned around to see Tonks standing behind her, her hair the exact same shade of silver as the patronuses themselves. Artemis shuffled sideways, and Tonks sat beside her on the step. “What’s up?”
“Nothing, really,” Artemis told her, and Tonks raised one eyebrow in response. “I just couldn’t conjure a patronus, that’s all.”
“But you did, I watched you do it.”
“Not a proper one, though.”
“Oh, yeah,” Tonks nodded. “But you know, corporeal patronuses - you know, ones with an animal form - are really hard to produce. Loads of witches and wizards can’t do it, not everyone in there has managed it, even. Charlie is finding it really tricky, and so are Ben, Alanza, Talbott, Ismelda, Diego…”
“I know, but this is the first time they’ve tried. I used to be able to do it properly. I had a cheetah. I don’t know why I don’t anymore, why I can’t do it like I used to,” Artemis brought her legs into her chest and rested her chin on her knees. “It feels like I’m kind of broken.”
“Nah, you’re not. It’s actually really normal for this kind of thing to happen.”
“It is?”
“Oh, yeah. Big changes and shocks and stuff can massively affect patronuses. Some people who can produce them stop being able to, and some people who couldn’t before suddenly find that they can.”
“So, what you’re saying is that I’ll never be able to cast a patronus ever again?” Artemis frowned. That didn’t make her feel better at all.
“That’s not what I said at all,” Tonks shook her head. “I mean, you might not, but that’s not the end of the world. It might be that you end up having a completely new patronus.”
“As in a different animal?”
“Yeah. They can change, sometimes.”
Artemis blinked. “But I don’t want it to change. I like my cheetah.”
“I know you do,” Tonks shrugged, then tilted her head. “Hey. Did you ever choose a name for it?”
“My patronus? No,” Artemis sighed. “And now it’s either gone for good or it’s going to be completely new patronus, so I never will.”
“You don’t know that for sure.”
“But-”
“Ugh, I’m so bad at this kind of thing,” muttered Tonks. “Look, I’m not going to lie to you. You might not ever get your cheetah patronus back, but it’s just a patronus. There are worse things to lose than that.” She winced slightly, and added, “Sorry.”
“It’s fine. I know what you mean. And you’re right, we know that more than anyone,” Artemis smiled sadly. “I just feel like part of me is missing without Rowan here, and I don’t know how much of that is me missing her, and how much is… I know that what happened has changed everything, and it’s changed me, too, but I’d just like to know that I’ve still got most of me left as it was.”
Tonks said nothing for almost a minute. When she finally spoke, she said:
“Okay, so a hag, a goblin, and a house elf walk into a bar.”
Artemis stared at her blankly. “What?”
“I dunno. You’re sad, so I thought you might like to hear a joke to cheer you up. I told you I’m no good at this,” Tonks sighed, before raising a single eyebrow at Artemis. “You sure you still don’t want that snog?”
In spite of everything, Artemis laughed, and so did Tonks.
“Come on,” she said, standing up and pulling Artemis to her feet. “You’re never going to know if you’ll be able to get your cheetah back if you don’t even try.”
Still grinning, Artemis nodded and followed Tonks back into the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, still illuminated by the soft silver glow of her friends’ patronus charms.

icl, i kinda miss Alanza. i know it’s an unpopular opinion but honestly i don’t mind her. she was in one of the assignments in the new year 7 chapter and it was nice to see her again even if it wasn’t in the main story. it’s almost like she doesn’t even exist outside astronomy lessons most of the time like i’ve literally seen a few ppl saying they forgot she even existed and honestly i can’t entirely blame them at this point. i don’t know why they even added Alanza in the first place, i like her enough but she doesn’t really do anything anymore. they never bothered to explain why she was staying an extra year either. maybe they originally had bigger plans for her but Alanza didn’t turn out to be as popular as they hoped so they changed their minds or something.
Y'know, I am convinced more than ever that there was some sort of alternative plan for Alanza's character, whatever it might have been, that was ultimately scrapped for whatever reason. Like you said, it's not at all clear why they added her to begin with, and while they may have just kept her around for mechanical reasons or to appease fans...they conspicuously never gave a reason for why she stayed. All it would have taken is one throwaway line.
There's something more. I've been leveling Alanza up recently. (Looking forward to donning those kickass robes.) and one of the questions that I constantly roll when I'm having butterbeer with her is "Who's necklace did I give you?" The correct answer being, her Grandmother's. There's just one problem with that. Alanza has never given MC a necklace. Not her grandma's or anyone else's. Maybe there's just some quest that I missed or haven't unlocked yet, maybe it's a quest in the code that never got released. (Think of Jae's cooking quest, it was in limbo for ages.) But if there is, I've not heard about it. And even if the quest exists, the fact is, my file has never completed it. So this bit of trivia doesn't make any sense. At the rate the game is going, I don't see us getting a necklace from Alanza either, outside of maybe in a TLSQ.
I haven't forgotten Alanza existed, but I frankly have no idea how to work her into my canon. Her arrival in Year 6 is something that I find difficult to describe as anything but filler. I don't want to think of it as filler, but similar to Victor, her character just hasn't really contributed to the plot much at all. I guess she recruited the Weird Sisters? But MC already knew them, Alanza wasn't necessary. I guess she told MC that Rakepick smelled like cinnamon? As if that ended up mattering, or did anything apart from raise more questions. I've said it a million times, but the story grinded to a halt to introduce Alanza, and then the universe seemed to conspire to ensure she found out about The Circle of Khanna...only...then she didn't join.
Am I alone in thinking that Alanza presented herself differently in Y6CH22 then she did for...the rest of the game, pretty much? In her initial appearance, she gave the impression of being the adventurous type. For crying out loud, she got lost in the jungle for a week. She lived on ants and rain! And then, after the player is forced to let her in on the secret organization that she was so curious about...she doesn't want to get involved? I know first impressions aren't everything, and any character can have their own cases of early installment weirdness, but...I'm not the only one who's noticed this, right? Alanza became significantly calmer and less inclined toward danger after her initial introduction. To the point that I noticed it, again and again.
Then there's her affinity for creatures, which they make such a big deal about, that I assume it has to be a Checkov's Wand. The scene where she sits in Rowan's seat, obliviously. Just a harsh moment for MC, or...is it supposed to mean something more? I'd suspect it might, except...Alanza has hardly done anything in Year 7, and I'm just left wondering...what exactly is her home situation like. I mean, she'll be seventeen by this point, so her parents can't make her come home, but...why wouldn't she want to? Doesn't she miss them? Did something happen there? I want to know, gosh dangit.
EDIT: I was wrong about the necklace, she does technically give us one, but it's still a huge error.

Alanza, to MC: This is not yours to fix alone. You act like you're all alone out there in the world, but you're not. You're not alone.

since the game pretty much forgot about Alanza does she have a bigger role in your au or is she not involved at all?
As I had just finished planning out Year 6 in the reboot, she has a larger supporting role and more involvement. She still doesn't join the ARC but does provide help whenever she can. There's no Castelobruxo in this setting, but rather multiple Brazillian magical schools simply because the country alone is massive. Alanza instead attends the magical equivalent of a visual and performing arts school, and her major would be Music.
As Vytarian Magic is also practiced in her town, she's a Mage herself and has Symphony Magic, Flora Magic, and Fauna Magic. At Hogwarts, she's given a private room in Hufflepuff since it reminded her of home the most. Whenever she's not hanging with Reina and the group, she hangs out with the Weird Sisters to the point she's considered an honorary fourth member.

I know that I don’t have too many HPHM followers, but for those who enjoy that content I figured I’d do a little check-in now that I’ve finished up the rest of Year 6 just to give some assorted thoughts on the whole thing. And uh... since it took me so long to make this post in the first place, I’m also gonna talk a bit about the first five chapters of Year 7
Starting off with Year 6, I finally get the complaints about Ben and Merula now. I mean, I’ve always hated Merula, but ugh. Being forced to work with those two as MC’s closest companions is just... like, the exact opposite of what I’d actually do and it was insufferable to sit through. Those two are the people I’d trust the least to lead the Circle of Khanna. Ben is too reckless, Merula is obviously only in it for her own revenge, and both of them are so moody and abrasive all the way through it. Every scene where the “Circle of Khanna Leaders” were together just made me want to slap both of them
It also just drives me nuts like the game actually wants me to believe that Merula’s in it for Rowan. Really? The person she bullied relentlessly for years? You really think that Merula, who has never shown remorse for or apologized for her actions, actually gives a shit about Rowan and isn’t just using their death as an excuse? Why do they keep trying to convince me of this very obviously untrue thing?
And I actually don’t hate the idea of the Circle of Khanna, I just think, like most things in this game past early Y5 or so, that it’s executed terribly. Despite having three fucking leaders, no one’s actually calling the shots and everyone’s just off doing their own thing without any sense of cohesion. Someone TAKE CHARGE, please. That, and they keep meeting at the very public Hog’s Head or the DADA Classroom instead of... literally anywhere private. I don’t think that the Secret Clubhouse existed yet at this point, but if it were up to me to write this story in hindsight, I think I’d designate the Secret Clubhouse as the Circle of Khanna meeting room. It would make sense from a story perspective, since every character is in one of the three clubs so they could all access it, and it would give the room some actual purpose because it’s been just such a nothing area since it was introduced. You could even turn it into a hangout thing, like “Study With a Friend” in the library
And it would give a reason to write out the twins and Beatrice. Seriously, why are they here? Why are we letting literal children into the Circle? I’d seriously thin out the ranks. No Fred, George, or Beatrice, and definitely no Ben or Merula for me, good lord...
Alanza is... fine? I, personally, found her annoying but I kind of get why she’s here, at least. She’s just so... nothing that she’s entirely forgettable
And the pacing at the end is so funny for how bad it is. I have to wonder if they were writing this week-by-week because the whiplash from “let’s do an in-depth investigation of the mole” to “OH SHIT WE FORGOT ABOUT THE CURSE LET’S GO TO THE SUNKEN VAULT REAL FAST” is so unintentionally comical. Like it legitimately reads as though the Merula as the mole reveal was going to be the end of Year 6 and then someone remembered the statue curse and went “hey, wouldn’t it be fucked up if they were frozen all summer?” so they scrambled to fix it. And the end result is that the Sunken Vault feels more like a rushed detour than anything, when that’s supposed to be the big climax
But, moving on from the negative, I do really love the design of the Sunken Vault. Whoever their location designer is, they’re doing a great job.  I mean, just look at that:
Tumblr media
It actually does have this nice, mystical, ancient feel to it that I can’t get enough of. It’s just so cool
And the way that the way that the vision upon touching the vault happens is fascinating as well. I do have to commend them on the presentation for it, because it’s so trippy and unsettling. The fact that it plays those scenes out in a black void, repeating endlessly, for an 8 hour timeslot is probably the most clever use of the game mechanics I’ve seen from them yet. You really do feel like you’re going crazy seeing Rakepick killing Rowan over and over while Merula taunts you
It’s just a shame that the confrontation afterwards with Rakepick is so generic. Oh no, everyone gets bodied except for MC who turns a spell Rakepick taught them back at her while Rakepick taunts like a cartoon villain about how she didn’t even know Rowan’s name, even though she was totally Rowan’s teacher for a fucking year and graded their essays. Wow. So cool. Very threatening
So, I guess that’s basically all I have to say about Y6. It’s kind of a mess, but I can appreciate how cool the presentation on the Sunken Vault was, at least, and I don’t hate the concept of the Circle as a whole, just a lot of the writing decisions involved in it
---------------------------------------------------
Now, for Y7...
Tumblr media
Yeah, no. Hold on, lemme just...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Let’s see how that actually went, shall we?
Tumblr media
Yeah, that’s what I fucking thought. One-Depulso Dwyn sent her flying into that damn fountain and no one can tell me otherwise. Get dunked, you insufferable wretch
Anyway, what was I talking about? Oh, yeah, Y7
So I hate Corey. Like, a lot. I find them so insufferably stupid and annoying. “Oh, I’ll cast FUCKING BOMBARDA in the Library and get us sent to detention so that you can learn wandless magic from the House Elves.” You colossal dumbass. You moron. My dorm is NEXT TO THE KITCHEN. Walking in to talk to the elves without being in detention has NEVER been a problem. Pitts likes me! You’d risk getting the Head Boy and Head Girl in trouble for NO REASON? This was so avoidable! Madam Pince doesn’t deserve this!
And then they don’t shut up about the Wizard Sherlock Holmes knockoff. It’s every word out of their mouth. “Oh, this is just like Detective Conebrush and Auror Persimmons!” No, actually, this is reality. Shut the fuck up. What gets me is Corey talking about how the first person you suspect in a mystery novel is always a red herring type stuff, so I had Seren respond that they should just stick to the facts rather than, you know, assume that reality will follow the rules of a mystery novel. Then later, Corey has the audacity to say “well, you didn’t want to follow what Conebrush and Persimmons do so you probably don’t want to review the facts, but...” NO DUMBASS. That is NOT what I said. Reviewing the facts is one thing, but acting like real life is going to follow fictional tropes is another
And I’m sure all of this is just getting to me so much because we literally just met Corey and the narrative is already acting like we’re best friends. We’re not. I do not like you. I do not understand why we are expected to trust you when we have literally never heard of you before and clearly your grasp of reality is dangerously weak. Leave me alone, let me go slam Merula into the fountain again and if you get in my way, you’re going in, too. I’m not obligated to be your friend just because Dumbledore decided we were Head Boy and Girl
The only thing Corey brings to the table for me is Conebrush and Persimmons, both because I had my Jacob be a huge mystery novel buff, but he was raised Muggle so he probably wouldn’t have heard about it, and if he did he’d probably either be ranting about how it’s just a wizard ripoff of Sherlock Holmes with the names changed around OR he’d be really into it and coming up with crossover fanfics, and because the Detective/Auror pairing is legit just future Jacob, Seren, Talbott, and Tonks
And as a final point, I’m so mixed on the internships thing they’re doing. It’s just like with the Circle of Khanna, I like the idea but the execution is just???
Why does it seem like only select students get picked for the internships rather than this being a thing open to the student body? Is this Dumbledore favoritism for the plot-important characters? The writers could have done whatever they wanted for Y7 since the books never covered what the typical year looks like, so I can’t understand why they decided to make this seem like a big exception thing rather than just dictating that all Y7 students get to do internships. And the students picked are so random, too, and it reads like they were picked regardless of what they wanted to do, necessarily? It’s so bizarre
This one actually stands out to me more in hindsight thanks to another game about teens/young adults in a magic school that I play, Twisted Wonderland. That game is set in a 4-year magic academy, but the 4th year students all go off-campus to do independent research/internships and only come back to campus for big events and presentations. I think the way that HPHM is handling it would have always bothered me, but it bothers me even more now that I have another game to compare it to doing basically the same thing but better
Canonically, students are encouraged to pick a career that they intend to work towards before Year 6 so that their class schedule can be tailored to what NEWTs they need for that profession. So, logically, most of the student body would have had to have locked in something (with those undecided and taking a general course list probably being the minority). Wouldn’t it make more sense, then, to have students automatically be signed up for internships for jobs that their class schedules would lead them towards (i.e. Charlie and Liz both have Magizoology class schedules, so they both get signed up for internships in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and the Magical Creature Reserve so they can try out different forms of Magizoology, like the hunting and containing aspect vs. the research and care aspect). Rather than, like... the Ministry randomly requesting specific students for no reason?
This would also solve the whole “why is Talbott, who has always claimed that he wanted to be an Auror, not in the Auror internships when he should have locked Auror into his class schedule, but IS in the St. Mungo’s internship when he’s never shown any inclination towards being a Healer” issue. All they’d have to do is say that, due to the significant overlap in needed classes, that he’s in both groups to try the careers out or something. Or they could just, like... have him be in the Auror group like he should be and if they really need the whole swan Patronus plot in St. Mungo’s they can make an excuse, like he was delivering something to Penny/Chiara when he saw it and keeps sneaking back in to investigate it
If this is a school-sponsored function, then why do MC and Tonks have to find their own Floo Powder and fireplace? If the faculty is shipping us off to be Hogwarts representatives, shouldn’t they be providing Floo Powder and letting us use one of the school fireplaces? Like, especially the one in Dumbledore’s office! Who the hell is like “good news, kids! I signed you up for this thing you have to go to! What? Transportation? Do it yourself, I can’t be bothered!”
And then there’s the whole introduction to it. Moody hold us up for, like, a minute and suddenly everyone’s gone and they’re nowhere to be seen? What??? Why didn’t the person in charge of the internship group wait? Take a head count and see if all of the listed students were there? Hello? Did you all just sprint off the second Tonks arrived like “haha funny prank, let’s ditch MC!”
And why did Moody feel the need to stop us before going to the Ministry if he’s our goddamned Ministry boss for the day? Like, dude, wait three minutes and they’ll drop me off in your office and you can take me aside and say what you need to then. We went through SO MUCH BULLSHIT because of you. And I get it, I get that it’s because the writers have no idea how to string sequences together and they needed an excuse for MC to get separated from the group so that they can find Impostor Amos Diggory and be introduced to Umbridge. There were way better ways to do that. Hell, all they’d have to do is have us get sent to the Auror office, Moody does his spiel about R agents in the Ministry, and then tells MC to deliver paperwork to Umbridge as a first task. Says to check the All-Purpose Room because she should be coming out of a meeting there soon. MC meets Not!Amos (and is actually suspicious of him because CHRIST, CHILD they are SO DUMB in canon when they meet him acting definitely off), but they have a job to do and can’t dwell on it. Not!Amos tells them they missed Umbridge, but gives them her office number, then we have the intro to Umbridge
There, problem solved.
Complaints aside, I do actually like how the internship stuff is structured from a gameplay perspective. The shorter tasks are a welcome reprieve and it feels like they’re all really unique. You basically get a mini story on the side. I dunno, I just think they’re a fun little break from the endless class grinding so far. Though maybe I only like it so much because these first few assignments have been for the Auror office and I find it unendingly hilarious that Moody personally trained Seren as an Auror only for her to immediately go “fuck the Ministry,” open up a private detective’s office with her brother, and use that training to make the Auror’s office look bad. And then she starts dating Auror Talbott. Can you imagine from Moody’s perspective? “She takes my secrets, she betrays my trust, and now she’s got one of my men wrapped around her finger!” The fucking drama, I love it

Stuff about my hphm kids
-Megan only calls people by their full names (Nicoletta, Juniper, etc.). Jane absolutely hates it since she dislikes her full name. -I mentioned before that Jane has a deep singing voice. I’m thinking about her natural speaking voice also sounding deep/“masculine”. She uses a higher speaking voice since. Wizards are assholes, but her family and close friends know what her real voice sounds like.
-Jane pushed away most of her friends in her fifth year and never gained them back. Most if not all of her partners in fifth and sixth year were people who didn’t go to hogwarts and thus didn’t know about her new reputation. -Most of her partners around this time were muggles but some were students from other magic schools. I’m thinking about pairing her with Alanza, I know most people don’t like or care about her but honestly I’ve always liked her. She’s cute.
-Josiah didn’t develop his magic until late in life, so I’m thinking: what if he wasn’t born with magic but earned it somehow? Especially with how obsessed wizards are with blood purity, I think someone who had to earn their magic would be interesting. Josiah doesn’t tell most people about this bc he’s aware that wizards would excuse him of stealing magic.
-Josiah is interested in alternative forms of magic. He researches dark magic and ancient magic. He believes that no magic is truly good or evil, it just depends on how someone uses it.
I believe in hphm gang supremacy
