Knockturned for The Better (Harry Potter Shopkeeper Quest)

Reader mode
[X] Ghost - People find me unnerving, something is… off about me. I taste things less, I sense things less. I ignore temperature, and with concentration can simply walk through things like they aren't there at all. Of course, I do wonder if I can ever truly die, either.

Perfect for reaching inside of jars and tight corners and our shelves can be dense and packed and we can just reach through no problem perhaps pick something out of unopened cans

Congratulations. You understand why I made him Serbian. Worldbuilding. And making England's problems relative.

Voldemort himself probably has a good idea of what a clusterfuck the Balkans were at the time, considering he created a Horcrux in Albania and hid there after dying the first time.

Sidenote, this leads into the funniest Harry Potter wiki article ever.

Edit:
The Harry Potter Wiki's article on Albania said:
Following his failed attempt to steal the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort returned to Albania,[4]​ weaker than ever. He was eventually about to give up all hope when he was discovered by his former servant, Peter Pettigrew, in 1994.

Voldemort almost gave up his Quest for revival and would've gone into retirement in Albania, you can't make this shit up.

You have a mysterious eastern European gentleman with pale skin. A soft, whispery voice, and a constant haunted look about himself.


Oh my.

Personally I'm hoping for comedic horror host vibes for his personality. Lots of dark humor and creepy puns.

To be fair being punked by an 11 year old hugging you to death is demoralizing.

    Thanks to @Armoury for the beta!

    The words on the paper fade away. "Let's just get this over with, which are you?" David asks.

    "Ghost." Nikola replies, his voice barely above a whisper. Eyes an impossible silver stared across the table towards David. They were nearly transparent things, and as David met Nikola's gaze he could swear for a moment he could see through them to something else, something… different, beyond. They were nearly the color of the sclera, surrounding it. Nikola's hair moved unnaturally, shifting in a breeze that wasn't there, couldn't be there, they were underground. They were in a room a little more than ten foot by ten foot. But it was becoming… colder.

    David blinked, Nikola still hadn't. Nikola hadn't since he had sat down.

    "How… Does that work exactly?"

    Nikola simply continues to stare, unblinking. Eventually however, he closes his eyes, and David slumps into his seat, like a puppet with its string cut. David starts the moment his back hits it, not even realizing he has been staring. There was something there, it wasn't beautiful. It was… like freezing in headlights, acknowledging a coming death.

    "Yes or no." Nikola says simply.

    David glares, but only at Nikola's throat. He finds he can't drag his eyes any further upwards than that. "What's your education?"

    "Might I speak? Or am I still restric-"

    "Just answer the question," David sas, quickly, but quietly.

    Nikola smiles. "I attended the Scholomance in Romania. Full education, graduated three years ago."

    "Any NEWTS?"

    "I had a pet rabbit."

    "No…the wizarding tests. Did you achieve high marks in any particular fields of magic?"

    "Ah…" Nikola replies. "Yes."

    Please note that Nikola knows most basic magic. This however is specialties. Please note that if you choose something… illegal, Nikola will lie. This does not have immediate consequences. Please note that just because something is listed as an example, it does not mean he knows it. He certainly can however. This mostly applies to the Unforgivables however.

    Charms

    The manipulation of objects, of enhancement of their function and properties. Most commonly used for convenience, lighting a light. Making something float, calling objects to me. However, there are more powerful charms, ones that could hide one from sight, or erase anothers memory.
    Examples, Levitation Charm (Wingardium Leviosa), Lumos (wand-lighting), and the Summoning Charm (Accio).

    Divination

    The art of predicting the future, crystal balls, tear leaves, palm readings, these are all known to me. Most call it little more than theory. I however, know it to be more.

    Transfiguration

    The art of changing one thing into another. Requiring absolute concentration, skill, and practice. The world can be changed at a whim.
    Examples, Transfiguration of objects, and changing the shape of a living being. Turn a man into an apple, turn a deadly cobra into a plush doll.

    Summoning

    The art of calling, of bringing things to the spellcaster. Be those objects, be those people, be those things. Portkeys are a simple matter, setting up a private floo system… easy enough.
    Examples, The Summoning Charm (Accio)

    Mind Magic
    The art of protecting the mind and invading others. For some odd reason, people don't trust it's practitioners.
    Examples, Legilimency (mind reading), Occlumency (mental defense), and Imperius Curse (mind control).

    Geomancy

    The art of the planet itself, some look to the sky, some look to the cosmos, some never look beyond their nose. I know the power of the life around me, unnoticed.
    Examples, changing the weather, forming rock formations, causing plants to grow. Carving through solid rock with a thought.

    Evocation

    The raw energy of creation. I could conjure flame, water, and control the air around it. It was combat magic, in its most direct, brutal form. With enough practice one could summon beings of the elements themselves.

    Sanguinistry - Illegal

    The specialty of Romania. The magic of the blood itself. Sacrifices, potions involving the life force of others. And, most famously. The Cruciatus curse. Blood was a weapon to be used, mine or my enemies.
    Examples, Body puppetry, Cruciatus (torture) curse. Magical Healing.

    Rune Magic

    The most ancient form of magic, and one that is little more than academic these days. I think there is more to it than just dusty old textbooks however. There is power to symbols. I could leave spells in places, undetectable, a simple scratch on the wall that acts as an alarm when passed, or a teleport… or a cutting curse. Rather useful in old places as well, laden with ancient traps.

    Illusion

    The art of play acting. The creation of false images, false sensations. Making others see what isn't there.
    Examples, the Disillusionment Charm, the Vanishing Charm. The False Image Charm.

    Necromancy - Illegal

    The manipulation of life and death. Not a school of magic, not officially. But one there is certainly documentation about. I could speak to the dead, I, indeed, could puppet their corpses as well.

    Demonology - Illegal

    Our world is not the only one here. The study of the formless wastes beyond the void, where     things lurk. It is also not a school of magic, but something is there, and it calls to me. This field does not start with spells, but is a quest chain all on its own.

    While true, you don't need to name it. He just listed three options he wanted, much like the user after you listed five. If it works, other people will copy.

    I've never actually seen the format as you posted it. Usually when I call for plan people just make a set they like, argue for it, and others follow along. If that's how it's usually done, it's never popped up in any of my threads at least. I won't argue if that's how people want to do it though.
     
    I'm really tempted by Necromancy just as he's a fucking half ghost, Charms and Transfiguration are generically good, and Rune Magic might help with warding the shop, but beyond those, Summoning + Necromancy feels like it could have really fun effects of pulling Ghosts to come visit us. Also, there's a really fun idea with Summoning of having a spooky shop that people are none the less drawn to enter and explore :V

    You can have the Vote Tally sort by block, but plans names are still helpful for getting people's attention.

    The thing is the way your saying without the Plan aspect it becomes just a big popularity vote. Which is what you explicitly didn't want.

    [X] Plan Running a Business in Spite of your Racist Neighbors 101

    -[X] Charms

    Reparo. enough said.

    -[X] Transfiguration

    also rather good for adjusting the interior of a shop.

    -[X] Mind Magic

    This is Harry Potter after all. some resistance to having our mind read will come in handy.

    -[X] Evocation

    pairs well with transfiguration & charms, and gives us some interesting self defense options.

    -[X] Rune Magic

    also good with transfiguration and a nice way to give ourselves some security in racist wizard england.
