>>5900328Indeed we are. Dumble's phoenix showing up to help fix us up and yeeting the dementor probably bought us a load of goodwill, since phoenixs wont appear before people with evil intent in their heart. Granted the flame chicken only shows up when it is absolutely dire, that Hogwarts itself in in danger, so Potter probably freaked the fuck out because of that.
>>5900291Magic feds are a lot scarier than random goons working on Scorpius' dime. However part of me thinks that even if he did hire them, they wouldn't actually kill us and our friends. It was an intimidation tactic. Something to make us panic and slip up. Hogwarts students being found dead are like a red alert for the UK wizarding world. Like even if we were just abducted, I think Potter is checking our friends' location several times a day, since Elliot is unplottable and it is an easy way to keep track of us. If one of us died or disappeared, it would be like defcon 1 since Taylor already died/disappeared.
Potter is smart. He knows something is up with the Malfoy's and Elliot. If shit went down he would go after them 1st, especially since Scorpius planted a dark magic tracking device in our bed which Potter found.
>>5900272>all we have to do is find the incantation for the curseSpells can only be learned living mind to living mind bro. I really doubt a random student who we are not already close friends will teach us a powerful dark curse like that if we just ask. That is assuming there is even a student in the school who knows it in the first place. Trying to dismember or fucking stick Scorpius in a portrait is dumb. His dad is right here. Probably gonna get concerned if his kid, who he loves very much, doesn't show up for a day or two.
Remember this was a suggestion from Apollo. The guy who, while being a Chad, is also very autistic and retardedly protective of our wifelette, Arty. Might not be the best guy to give advice right now.
I like the dude a lot now, don't get me wrong, but this is the same person who, when he couldn't find Arty for a few hours, chimped out, tossed her boyfriend against a wall by his neck, and stuck a wand in their face instead of just asking a teacher if they knew where she was at or if something happened.
>>5900269If it comes down to it, trying to convince Scorpius that the dude in his head is closer to a demon than a human is an option. We haven't figured out exactly what Salazar threatened Scorpy with or promised him yet, so unless our back is against the wall, we should probably try to make him distrust the voice in his head more before confronting him.
Veritaserum seems very regulated, takes a month to brew from scratch, and if the Ministry finds out you used it in a way they don't like, you get a nice long vacation to scenic Azkaban.
