Knockturned for The Better (Harry Potter Shopkeeper Quest)

this is again running into a misunderstanding of the quests nature. beyond the potential run in with certain Hogwarts students on occasion, I doubt we'll have much to do with hogwarts or the settings central antagonist or protagonist directly.
A few. But not many cnaon characters. Also it's a long while before Voldy is running around. Plenty of assholes elsewhere though. You'll be world trekking to find things to sell.

does this mean we get to hire a quirky shop workers to keep an eye on things while we are abroad? like say, hiring a free dobby in the summer of 1993 before Albus can find him?

Plan is to operate an illegal exotic pets shop. Why Illusion instead of Transfiguration? Because I want to be a layered pets shop.
It's an antiques store.

You're dealing with really old and wacky (sometimes cursed) shit. And fucking with some things that shouldn't be.

[X] Plan: Spooky Scary Scratches and a bit of the basics(-210 Points).

Its got the charms-transfiguration combo for shop running, and plays into a half-ghost's strengths. I honestly really like this plan.

What's the point of being a spooky ghost if you aren't going to go all in on it?
 
Are ghosts not bound up in a place? I don't know anything about ghost in the setting outside Hogwarts. Are we a ghost 100% or half ghost?
 
I should have phrase my question better, as in, how can someone be half ghost? Veela, goblin, etc I understand how you can have half or part their blood, how does that work for ghosts?
QM has been keeping tight lipped so far. my personal guess would be a near death experience where the MC was clinically dead for a few minutes only to be artificially revived with modern medicine after becoming a ghost and has by some fluke or mistake in the method had his ghost self merge with his body.

Mom managed a fancy necromancy spell to fuck her dead beloved, and had a bit more success than she'd expected would be my guess.

Given necromancy is a thing here, that sounds entirely plausible, and rather amusing too :V

I have plenty of theories depending on the type of ghost involved and whether Nikola was born a ghost or not.

A ghost could have been possessing his mom when she got pregnant leading to some weird magic stuff with him technically having three parents. It could be that there was a ghost that regretted not having a child and a necromancer found a 'creative' solution to get her to move on. One of the parents might be an especially strong spirit, like an ancestral house ghost, that was able to become corporeal enough to do the dead deed.

I just hope that Nikola had a very happy childhood just to mess with people's expectations.
 
[X] Plan: Successful Shop(-180 points).
[X] Plan Running a Business in Spite of your Racist Neighbors 101

We really need to vote on what type of store were gonna have, since everyone's going in different direction. Unless that on purpose since our character didn't plan his whole life for the goal of running a shop.
 
Have to go to work but I'll vote for this for now

[x] Plan Cursed Antiques


might make my own plan but it's likely going be buried under a bandwagon by the time I'm done.
 
[X] Plan: Spooky Scary Scratches and a bit of the basics(-210 Points).

Either spooky ghost man with the dead Or

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

Business man doing business.
I slightly prefer the second plan because mind magic and evocation but i like the top still so if this gets close to winning ill drop my top vote.
