>>6113240Some of those seem like decent ideas to expand people's skills. No obliviation though. We aren't good at it and Elliot specifically hates magic which alters the mind per his description in the King of /qst/ tourney. Also the shit with him getting zapped by Lily, mind raped by Potter, his best friend being mind raped by Crouch, seeing what happened to Lockhart, ect.
I would recommend kind of a "boot camp" for students who want to learn but weren't part of the armies. Basic aiming, teaching useful efficient spells to younger students, how to break a grapple and toss a punch. Could have Arty teach that part, since she is very skilled and knows how to work with less; might help younger, weaker students. She was the one who accidentally brought a dozen Hufflepuffs to train with us and Lily.
Then have an advanced course that us and maybe Linda or Brighton teach. Teach some of the survivability tricks we learned from Crouch, dirty fighting, using stuff like potions or plants, Linda teaching small unit tactics. Have just formal dueling too for people who just enjoy that. Do the stuff with unfair odds, or suddenly having to defend, ect. Maybe work on practicing some sword fighting along with using a wand, mage knight style.
We are doing this to buff ourselves, Arty, our allies but also to pick up where Potter left off; build armies since he is on the loose and ArthurZar/ the Beast will be coming back. We need to make soldiers because whether Hermione likes it or not, this is probably going to end up being an all hands on deck situation. Salazar probably will want "his" school back after all.
Took entirely too long to write that due to my stupid fucking scaphoid fracture. Fucking cows.
