Oh, I did. I was just putting that out there so that when someone suggests trying to convert the gold to pounds without going through Gringotts I can just point back to that.

Oh I like this, updating vote.
[X ] Try getting the topic on video games. Surely that's less likely to cause an argument.
-[X]Perhaps focus on conversation on the most OP games they've played, or high synergistic results. Anything that can insta kill or nosell dark magic or dark lords should be a priority
[X] Invite him in, to join in the conversation/game, but explain you don't have room for his friends in the compartment as well.
-[X] "Relax, Draco. They only laughed because the way you introduced yourself reminded us of a very famous movie. In fact, they would have cracked up just as much had I responded by saying, 'Potter. Harry Potter.' Your actual name had nothing to do with it. Now, you want to join us? I'm about to teach the others how D&D works, and the more the merrier!"
Now do I need to go back and edit my old post for my redeeming draco line or nay?

It's less the 10 is old and wrinkly and more the 10 is a huge asshole. And was brought up by Nazi's.
Could pick up that he is, from the way he carried himself, the fact he has minions, and reactions of present company. And I'm not saying that WE need him for that, just saying that is what he is offering. No implication on current company.
I don't think he has a lot of experience with subtle jabs, to pick up ones of this subtle-ty. I mean, Dudley and his gang is hardly the kind to be subtle, neither is Vernon. Petunia might, but still would put it as not as subtle.
If you don't care about what game we play, you don't. The Tally program only looks at the most recent vote. Since this one is lacking any game suggestions, you technically didn't vote for any.
It's not being one currently.

I wonder what if we just check what the price is for purchasing a pound (or the standard measurement of precious metals is) of gold and silver. I don't think we need to worry about knuts/bronze. Check the value/exchange rate in both wizarding and muggle money. Perhaps we can still do something w/o defacing official govt money

The game vote is in the write-in.
Draco Malfoy is NOT a 10 dollar bill; he's the bad penny that turned up constantly in cannon and frankly he's been raised in a solid DE home and was one until it was slammed into his face hardcore that even though they were the genocidal moron's followers they still got tortured and treated like crap by Voldemort.
He also let DE's into the school, Imperius'ed Katie Bell and did lots of other horrid shit. Why do you so want to redeem trash? Right now he's just a racist little bigot that thinks the sun shines out of his dad's ass but frankly he doesn't get any better and in fact does get worse and siding with him for meta reasons to try and change him will piss off every light sided family you care to name because guess what? They all lost family members to his family!

Oh so it won't just replace one of my votes but all of them. Mhhmm.. Ok I'll just have to revote everything in the newest post then. I'll edit that in. Thanks!
That just makes things complicated. Best keep it separate, because it might not get counted by who-ever does the numbers.

Okay, Harry's life has been hell for years. Every good thing that has happened has gotten crushed... so he gets someone that is willing to help him... okay. It's got to be running through his mind that it's a temporary thing or at least he's making plans for it being temporary.
Even if it's not a temporary thing, it's his cousin. He is family as much as Harry might wish for better.
Draco is nothing as far as Harry is concerned.
Also you're money analogy is stupid. He insulted Ron. Meaning that Ron isn't likely to stand for him, if you defend Draco you lose Ron. Hell you might lose Hermione and to sum things up... she's at least a 500 dollar bill compared to Malfoy's 5... or if you think he's worth 10... ... so no you don't have 3 bills... because your soon to be ex-friends have taken their money back.
You lose far more than you gain and honestly just saying I think I can make my own friends isn't bad. You haven't insulted him though he'll take it that way. Basically it's fairly neutral and merely calls him on his bullshit.

Yes, but not for a while. More options for what happens after Voldemort is taken care of.

You don't actually know that.
Being a racist bigot is not in any way comparable to being ugly. Among the many, many relevant differences, you can completely ignore a crinkly 10 dollar bill until you feel like spending it and then once you've spent it it's out of your life forever. Money, unlike people, does not require that I dump a portion of my life into maintaining my relationship with it.
Let's try a different metaphor. You offer me a peanut butter sandwich. I turn it down because I already have two sandwiches, I have no trouble acquiring more sandwiches, I really hate the taste of peanut butter and would rather avoid it if possible, and one of my existing friends is allergic to peanuts.

Magic Endbringers? Random people in the world gets non-magic super powers?
The money analog was covering the amount of political influence they have connected to them. The Malfoy family has more than the Longbottom Family, who has more than the Bones family, despite all 3 being rather influential.
The reason why I want to, is not because I like him, but because it seems like it would be fun, the fics I read it done in (don't read many fics, and there are probably a ton where it's done horribly, but the few I read did it good) made it seem like a interesting option, and ultimately, he would be useful to have on our side. Redeeming him just so happens to be the best way about doing that.
Plus, we are not siding with him. We are getting him to side with us. We have literally all school year to work our Social Magicks on him, and we can probably get a ton done in that time, without even sacrificing Grinding time.
And don't need to worry about his Father being a counter influence. One, we are just moderating his views (at first), and really not convincing him to believe anything that is utterly against what his family thinks. Two, I still honestly doubt how long his dad is going to be alive.
Ron sorta insulted him. Not to mention that we have known Ron for maybe half an hour, tops.
I'm totally fine with that. I'm not Pro-Ron (not Anti-Ron either). Plus, we aren't defending any body. We are being perfectly civil. If a fight does come up, we are more than likely going to just sit on the side-lines and observe, passing judgement after it's all over with.
Why? She isn't invested in Ron either, he's still some random git who we are just sharing a room with currently. And Draco hasn't done anything to her yet.
Considering, like I said, the money analog was in reference to their political influence. Hermione is actually a 0. She has none.
Besides, again, why would we lose her? If Draco starts being rude to her, we would shut it down right quick. If he continues to be rude, well, she's worth more to us than he is. But we are not there yet, so lets not drop him yet, because it's entirely possible we won't get that far.
We don't actually know it's false either. We dont' have to do anything definitive right now. Draco didn't actually say "Me or them", both is still a pretty plausible option.

Oh, so there's an after Voldemort. Interesting to know.
And no, It's worm. He's probably just bringing over "And then it gets worse. And then it gets worse. And then the world blows up. And THEN it gets worse" from Worm
Except this Peanut butter sandwich is made of Silver. Just have to wash off all the yucky Peanut Butter, while keeping it away from that one friend, and then you got Silver.

We're the Boy-Who-Lived. If Malfoy is a 10, we're a 100. Malfoy is also a born and raised asshole.
Surprise incursion of the Space Whales? I am so here for that.
Our BWL status didn't do Harry much good Cannonically. While the Malfoy's sat pretty all the while till the Shit hit the fan.

I'm considering various things. Oneof which is simply that. Stay in Potterverse but bad things start stacking up.
Another is using bullshit magical powers Harry ends up dumped in a choice of another world, with Worm being one. So you could fix things in the Wormverse! Or more likely fuck up Taylor's life even more. Because let's be realistic here.
I am even more here for dimension hopper Harry. Of course, that quickly results in horrifically overpowered Harry, unless there are level caps or the dimensional crossing drains exp.
Oh... hmm. The Wormverse idea sounds rather neat, but given Worm, I'm now trying to think how we might come out of that alive. It's Worm, after all.

It's all still in the rough planning stages, but I figured the dimension hopping would either scale up threats in the new world, or act as a new game plus. Reset to level 1, but with bonus stats, traits, items, etc.
Still all rough planning stages, as I said, and a fair way off so nothing to be too concerned about yet. I mean, you're still in first year, and probably have to wait until at least second to be able to take out Voldemort for good. At the earliest.
