this time it's Harry Potter, round 2.

more so round 3. I had a really really small one last year around Christmas, shortly after I went to see Fantastic Beasts.

so um...since I have characters from all over the world now...and I was handed a catalog to read through for last minute additions to my list...I remembered that Beauxbatons is a thing.

and so I'm trying to find a way to cram Xavierre into the school waaaay down on the south border of France and the north border of Spain.

first major issue, the movies portrayed it as an all-girls school. so no male uniforms were created.

second major issue, freakin wands. wands, man. wands. while Pottermore has good resources for you to devise a wand (four components, three articles) for a character, nobody has the master test for a wand, if the test for a wand is any different from the Sorting test.

so I have to devise him the basics for a wand, and then make sure all the other  wands I'm making eventually, will scale properly when I draw them because I think y'all know that I still have like no grasp at eyeballing heights between characters.

and then there's the stinkin Patronus, if he's even going to be able to cast one at all...which he should be able to do. and good grief, I'm probably going to be shot at by the fandom for it if I give him one, since his would be an elk...and Harry's is a stag of some ambiguous deer species.

all in all, annoyances aside, I'm really ready to set to work on this AU, even if I only ever get the foundations of it.
