I'm personally not against the German/East European Wizard mindset being a little more conservative than the English/American mindset in that half-bloods/Muggle-Borns aren't really ostracized but treated as if they're still a bit of an anomaly. Unless I'm reading that wrong. For rather biased reasons, I'm more curious as to just how they'd treat Half-Breeds.[/quote]

If in doubt, assume the Russian stance on gay people. Technically we don't have a [i]problem[/i] and you're still an [i]equal member of society[/i], we just don't want you [i]near our kids[/i]. Essentially an unfriendly barely-tolerance but without active persecution. The only real effect I guess it will have on Eoghan is Johann's reaction, and I wouldn't assume they're going to be the closest of friends; I expect Johann will basically think he's a bit of a waste of (admittedly not much) space and generally ignore him/try to make sure he doesn't end up with anything important to do.

[quote=Sloth]On a less related note, I can't help but notice James' sheet has gone missing! I do hope he remains with the Puffs of Huffle. We must establish a new world order. (Also it seems like James is going to essentially be one of Eoghan's seldom amount of friends he met neither through Quidditch or the Dueling Club.)

I'm just going to give him a little bit of oomph. He's coming back. :)
It's kind of my intention to push him steadily toward the slippery slope of the dark arts, but trying to make him as un-cliché as possible if he should ever approach 'villain' territory.
