Let's Jump to It! [Jumpchain Quest]

Reader mode
Given how we've managed to burn what bridges we might've had with Malfoy by insulting him a few votes ago, diplomacy is probably out. That being the case, should we go for staff involvement or taking it into our own hands?

Letting the teachers know would probably be the easier option and allows us to keep a lower profile by not revealing what we know how to do with magic.

Striking back would be much more satisfying personally, but it would inevitably require letting on that we know a good bit about magic (possibly magic from our own universe).

Thoughts?

Actually, You didn't insult him. Hermione did.

Edit: to his face, that is. You've been fairly civil so-far, although you've been standing up to him for Hermione's sake.

I don't think we have much to lose involving the teachers, actually why didn't Harry and co tell on Malfoy back then apart from Snape.

Because the storyline of Harry Potter basically revolves around the adults being either useless or actively hostile so the kids can save the day. It's why Dumbledore was conveniently absent, nobody important in the Ministry believed Voldemort came back until book six, and nothing could be done about Harry entering the Goblet of Fire.

This is also why certain movies almost never have the two main characters actually talk things out like mature adults.

[X] "Ms. Granger, so good to see you again. And Mr. Longbottom, I am sorry to hear that Mr. Malfoy was behaving in so beastly a fashion. Your parents were heroes if they opposed that madman. Malfoy should realize his apparent admiration for a rabid dog that has long since been put down isn't likely to win him many friends even in the small circles he'd like to keep to."

In other words, basically saying that he worships a demised domestic terrorist and that his behavior was "beastly" doesn't qualify as an insult to him? Or, at the very least, he wasn't close enough to actually hear us say that?

I'm actually confused now.

He had left the car in a huff before you had started saying anything.
"How charming." Hermione's tone was dry "Somehow I expected a pureblooded scion to be more... dignified. So far all I've seen is name-calling and insulting the infirm."

The next noise you hear would best be described as something between a shriek and growl. The door before you is then forcibly yanked open, and a fuming platinum-blond comes storming past you. "Just you wait. Filth like you will know your place soon-enough." He snarls before continuing down the car.

You idly step through the door before it closes, as Hermione Granger and (who you believe is) Neville Longbottom share a grin with eachother.

Keep in mind that snitches tended to fare poorly...but Ravenclaws probably mind less.

The main problem with adults is that the Malfoys are a pretty big deal, so a permanent solution is unlikely, while Draco is cunning enough to only strike when he knows theres little evidence.

Any official punishment will not serve to deter him.

Say. How hard would a tracking charm keyed to him be to make?
 
How well can we do illusions? Those might be the easiest way to get back at Draco, let him know exactly why it's happening to him so it's actually a deterrent, and get away scot-free because he can't prove who did it. If we do things right, he might not even be able to figure out the culprit.

If you use your home-world's magic, you're illusions are quite good. They won't last longer than an hour once activated, though.
 
Despite how inclined we may be toward stick, I suspect carrot would work incredibly well. If we can make some toy like an animated snake and purchase Draco dropping the matter, I think it'd be well worth the cost and wouldn't leave us with a bothersome enemy. If he doesn't jump for carrot, then imply stick forthcoming.

What can we really offer him? I'm not sure how much is fanon, but from what I remember Draco from the earlier books (before he begins growing up, sort of) is basically the conceited, spoiled brat by virtue of being the scion of House Malfoy, meaning that there probably isn't much we can give him that he can't get by writing home to daddy. He literally bought his way onto the quidditch team with a team's worth of top-of-the-line brooms, for crying out loud.
 
Well, this is an interesting situation we have ourselves into. That prophecy is very on point, and no surprise considering her name and so no one really believed her at the time, but I do have to worry about our dear chosen boy.

I know getting Draco to stop making Hermione's life more troublesome is a priority but I don't agree that we shouldn't at least keep an eye on Harry. We don't know what he does or who he hangs out with and with Hermione in our camp he's going to have issues (of course this is AU so who knows I might be worried for nothing.)

But on the subject of Draco, I think getting something else for him to worry about like say...failing grades, using our illusions so he gets lessons or tests wrong and such. Like if we had transfiguration with him, make him think he's doing it right when in actuality it's wrong

Do it to him during potions if we can swing it. Snape won't let him get hurt too bad but won't be able to justify giving Malfoy good grades.

That would be good, though a bit dangerous because Snape is one of the more active teachers, especially for Draco. But in the short term I think it's worth it
 
...Does anyone really think that Draco will prioritize grades over revenge? He didn't in canon and it would take a huge and consistent effort to impact him seriously, an effort that requires us to pass the bullshit test on Flitwick and Snape and so forth repeatedly. One bad day isn't going to deter or hurt him in itself all that seriously. Also, Gryffs and Slytherin have potions together, we're Ravenclaw.

I completely understand the urge to just beat Draco down one way or another but I think it's the wrong approach. Yeah, he's spoiled, but that is sort of the point. So long as he feels he got some concession, however useless, he can keep his self esteem. And ultimately, he is still very much a child right now. Any new toy that nobody else has will probably be well received if only because no one else has it.

Unlike Harry or Ron, Hermione is capable of letting it go after that.

Any kind of long-term effort is too likely to bring in a teacher or worse Malfoy's parents. If we are going that route it'd be better to just rat him out to Flitwick or write his mother.

So could we use the invisibility spell to sneak into the Slytherin common room, steal homework from other Slytherins and place them in Draco's things, find the students who are hired by Draco and transfigure the money into needles or matchsticks, and sabotage Malfoy's wand?
