[HP] Anyone have any idea how international travel works for wizards? I need to know for my crossover
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I'm still writing it for some reason
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
like would floo powder work? Do they have to get Visas?
delatour
history of magic in north america suggest brooms and apparition, but honestly history of magic in north america is patent nonsense
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
fair
delatour
i'd guess a specialized floo or portkey system run by the department of international magic cooperation
beachcryptid
I would pay good money to watch wizards try to navigate a modern airport
beachcryptid
especially post covid
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
oh man
delatour
god. the number of fake ids or mindwipes that must be involved
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
but yeah, I'd think they'd have to have some kind of travel documents?
ǝʌoɹɓɹɐH
Instead of MIB we get the WIB to do mindwipes
Usagi
honestly i always make this stuff up wholesale because boy do we not see a lot of answers handed to us on questions like these u-u
Usagi
i know international portkeys are a thing, but they never say a darn thing about like
paper work involved and such ://
ǝʌoɹɓɹɐH
I wonder if there's like, a magical 'airport' that's regulated, like the Floo network that's heavily regulated
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
maybe?
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
it would make a kind of sense?
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
or do wizards not really worry about that and if they want to spend some time in Germany they just.. go?
ǝʌoɹɓɹɐH
Maybe they have magical 'airports' for those that want to go to different continents?
Usagi
part of me is like 'it cant be...' and the other part remembers that they're like
i think their numbers are 1 in 30 people??? so in hindsight it must just be really easy to
vanish elsewhere
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I know in fantastic beasts they ask Newt not to travel internationally but that series kinda...
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
is inconsistent
Usagi
we shove it aside, we do not See it
ǝʌoɹɓɹɐH
Oh man they'd have to figure out how to regulae Apparating around too
ǝʌoɹɓɹɐH
British magical folks see a picture of a monument in USA and apparate to it, not thinking anything of it
ǝʌoɹɓɹɐH
Scare the living shit out of muggles
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
well, I think it says something about apparating really long distances is not that easy
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
but they couldn't really stop someone from apparating, I don't think?
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
since they can't put the Trace on an adult
ǝʌoɹɓɹɐH
I need to reread the series
Usagi
honestly the way the trace works is bullshit as it is -gestures to book 2-
delatour
i never thought the trace was particularly well thought through
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
no, it's not
ǝʌoɹɓɹɐH
I think it's one of those things that sounded cool and good on paper, but just kind of world fodder
Usagi
it was thought through in the sense that kids growing up surrounded by magic could bend the rules B]
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
since, yeah, book two he got blamed for using magic when he did not
Usagi
look a lotta stuff in this series wasn't thought out but this is one thing where i will gladly go -thats because of the rich wizards actually-
ǝʌoɹɓɹɐH
I imagine the Trace charm is good for 'bad' wizards that don't warrant going to Azkaban but still need an eye kept on them for a little while as they're released
ǝʌoɹɓɹɐH
Like someone that's gotten caught a third time stealing or something
delatour
but you've still got to account for the fact that morfin gaunt could be framed for the riddles' murder when tommy boy was fifteen and should have still been under it
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
yeah, that part doesn't make sense
Usagi
thats easy
morfin house, morfin magic
like i said the trace was probably cooked up with the intentions of having as many loopholes for ~pure magic kids~ as possible and OOPS ITS BACKFIRING
Usagi
oh wait no riddle house
Usagi
no this is still easy
ǝʌoɹɓɹɐH
riddle me this
ǝʌoɹɓɹɐH
badumtsch
Usagi
bc tom riddle didn't live in the fucking area hgjvkfdhg
Usagi
all the shit blasting back to harry is presumably bc he's the nearest wizard with a known name in radius,

and we do know that people love connecting dots the way it appeals to them u-u
Usagi
anyway
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
from what I understood though the trace is on the underage wizard until they become of age
Usagi
i remember playing with this in my lil ygo crossover with magic jou and by playing with it i mean the trace was fuckin useless bc tokyo is a can of sardines
Usagi
and also all the gang kids were just
no wandin' it
fuck you magic school, their city now
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
Japan probably doesn't even care about the trace for their young wizards
Usagi
(the concept was essentially that in japan, you have to pay for high school education- and most DO, but it occurred to me that if japan has a magical school with -elementary learning-, it's likely the same system, so imagine what happens to anyone who can't make that cut)
Usagi
(Answer: Angry kids. Very angry disillusioned kids. Eyyy)
ǝʌoɹɓɹɐH
I wonder if the Trace was just something for Harry because of how special he is and people wanting to keep an eye on him
Usagi
and if anyone wants that fic it's a short fella and i can link it, anyway honestly my take on a lot of stuff is
it falls apart with too much thought
like it just -crumbles-
so we gotta like
Usagi
apply popsicle stick supports
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I'm pretty sure it's on any underaged wizard
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
but it doesnt work in practice
ǝʌoɹɓɹɐH
Okay; I couldn't really remember. It's been awhile since I've read them
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
and the ministry is not good at admitting that maybe something isn't working.
Usagi
they sure arent
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I'm forever mad there's not a wizarding CPS
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I will never not be mad about that, tbh
Usagi
be the change you wanna see in the world-
Usagi
(See: me looking at jkr's take on how many magic schools there are, laughing my -ass- off, and making some changes)
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
and the fact wizards are shit at mental health concerns
Usagi
(JAPAN'S SCHOOL FOR ALL OF ASIA??? EVEN JUST EAST ASIA?? OH HUN, )
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
but I mean, and then we look at the author and maybe it's not so surprising
Usagi
yeah and like
obviously there's the fact that this takes place during the early to late 90s to consider
but hngvjklfhng
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
yeah, she just didn't want to do the extra work to come up with all the schools
Usagi
smdh
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
and she's bad at math
Usagi
china should have like five for itself
delatour
the us should have five, if they're all the size of hogwarts. china should probably have thirty
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
never forget that harry had something like 412 other first years in his year
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
and like 5 of those are in Gryffindor, four in slytherin, and four in ravenclaw
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
so like
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I guess the rest are in Hufflepuff?
delatour
i just assume they're all there in proportion, and harry's just in the position where it's too late to ask the names of the other girls hermione shares a dorm with
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
okay. more like 100
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
maybe
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I mean we know about Padma in their year and literally no one else
Usagi
ghfjkhfg i was actually just doing my numbers based on that 1-30 deal and grabbing the population of the entire UK and related regions hah
Usagi
so it's more accurate to say 'at Minimum'
Usagi
because yea you're right there's probably way more schools!!!
Usagi
one of my work arounds is basically that it's 'schools recognized by X organization'
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
like these are the elite schools?
Usagi
nah more like they're schools just considered part of a particular network
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
maybe
Usagi
i think the easiest way to put it is....think about any school you've had offering exchange programs
Usagi
there's always -something- that determines 1, what countries, 2, what -schools-
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
that's fair
Usagi
but really at the end of the day this is just us trying to fill excuses for jkrs lazy everything u-u
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
/SIGH
Usagi
clasps your hand in sobbing solidarity
Usagi
whats the crossover for anyway
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
https://images.plurk.com/3Z4fb4Sgp403k0cFTJJvXy.png
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
because I just cannot let it go
Usagi
chinhands
Usagi
hnn maybe i ought add another bit to my ygo one....
𝔂𝓾𝓶𝓲
I feel like a lot of HP makes no sense and is full of holes once you pause to really think about it for a few minutes. It just crumbles.
𝔂𝓾𝓶𝓲
412??? where does that number come from?
𝔂𝓾𝓶𝓲
I think JK once said that the houses are like ... 20 people or sth per house and year? But I always wondered if the sorting hat was instructed to, like, assign people evenly or if there's ever a year where everyone except a handful end up in hufflepuff or sth
𝔂𝓾𝓶𝓲
and good for pointing that out
beachcryptid
lol
