Harry Potter and the Scabbard of Excalibur [AU]

Reader mode
There is a reason the perks said they were protecting us from our dreams

We can learn the lore through other means then traumatizing Harry

At this point I think their is to much risk to get Harry to remember

Ya we messed up before but now that we have seen the consequences of that we won't make that mistake again. Given not remembering our dreams is a perk it's both likely remembering will severely disadvantages us and is not necessary to get the lore we need. We have not had much time to do thing since having our mistake pointed out to us but I'm sure we find out the lore in time. It will just take longer.

All other options are gambles with uncertain value and some potentially bad results, these two won't catastrophically backfire.

Ah I hope in the case of Forfeiture, Black Out The Sky still is considered.
 
[X] Plan Greed

This is the best time to take this considering we'll still be up over 2 power, and it means we can easily rank up again and recoup it quickly particularly given the various perks.

The group combat and spell bonus has obvious benefit in both the immediate future and far away, and can help manage the upcoming crisis. Learning from Sprout shooting up should mean either we get a cheaper EFB Patronus or perhaps a better one, and regardless we'll be learning from her for another 6 years regardless so there is plenty of benefit to taking this. Even more so if similar to Flitwick she decides to give advanced lessons or involves herself in teaching the Inner Circle.
 
You know, Forfeiture might actually be the fourth lyric in the set, "This World Transcend":

“All Things Must Die” is the fifth song from the soundtrack to the fifth volume of American anime production ‘RWBY.’ Unlike many of the other songs, it does not focus on a singular

This is the end

Specifically the wording: "Do not pick anything here." Perhaps it implies picking something else, not listed and better.
 
Impromptu mystery box possibilities? Sure, I'd be up to play that out.
Also we're already set for massive power, insight, and control just as we are. Settling down and settling in for another couple years of just studying and teaching our friends the Dark Arts is the smart play here.

If we want to get something, then we need to agree on what to vote for and also get rid of the Forfeiture votes.

Birdie says that if Forfeiture gets the majority, then we do not get anything. And that all options that pass half the voters (23 right now) are granted. The only way to stop that is Plan Voting. If you vote for a Plan, then you are not approval voting for the option outside the plan.

The most popular options right now are All things must Die, and Black Out the Sky with Magicka Primeval (which drains out magical power extremely slightly but gives a nice boon). Therefore, I suggest to reframe the vote with the following plans.

*All lessons and topics you learn from your Head of House are more easily retained, remembered, and internalized.
*A minor streamlining to your casting process; all wand motions are easier, incantations can be muttered and still work at a hundred percent efficiency, etc.
*Increases your magical power by a tenth, once.

If you like one option but are afraid of the others winning, please vote with the plan (that way you exclude the other options without having to vote Forfeit).
 
[X] Plan Only Black Out the Sky AND All Things Must Die

This is the eve of the convocation. We are basically caught with our pants down because we didn't follow through any of the quests to learn the lore.

It feels like a last chance thrown at us so we'd get a handle on things before whatever happens goes down. We must hatch.

We can always get Harry to learn how to cope with the memories later, he should be strong enough now. Also learning Patronus with Sprout could be therapeutic as well? It requires him to focus on happiness.

I agree with the previous voice. We must be prepared for danger, and mental health can be restored by communicating with friends/Sirius, potions, meditations.
If the situation gets really bad, we have dark Transfiguration, according to Birdie, it allows us to work with hormones in the human brain.

I believe we can deal with that, and that people are motivated for this plan because we need to get more information about what we should have been doing this year, and in the hope that it provides us with good information for the rest of the quest even though it has downsides.

I hope we can at least get Black Out because it's not a mystery box and has an extremely low magical power loss (when we just got a huge gain, and that we should be able to get back easily). And at the same time it would help with the Patronus since we could learn it with our head of house.
