Maggie's Classmates?
« on: April 26, 2021, 02:01:26 AM »
So if and when Maggie's YA series gets off the ground what Scions do you expect of Maggie's Classmates?

Svartalves
White Court
Fae Changelings

Are the obvious choices, someone suggested demigods but thats a little too Percy Jackson for my money.

Pixies. Loads of pixies. Not as official pupils of cours but as self appointed guardians of Maggie.

Yeah. Those and no demigods.
And some wizard's kids. Or at least some with magical talented parents.

Children of white council wizards probably don't apply.

Do any of them even have children?  Great, greats grandchildren maybe, perhaps the few of the younger wardens and apprentices do, but the rest are too old and children are never mentioned.

White council wizards typically hide their children as far away and and as disguised as they can. So of course there'll 2 or 3 enrolled alongside Maggie :)

Also, wizards don't have magically gifted kids that often anyways.
Stole this from Reginald because it was so well put, and is true for me as well.

We have only a few examples how white council members handle their children and one of them is a senior council member who lives with them according to iic woj. We do not have enough information to know how white council members usually handle their children let alone how many exceptions there are.

Most Wizard's are just ordinary kids until mid-late teens (Harry iirc came into his magic pretty early at what, 12ish?), they can just go to a regular school.

The reason that Maggie needs to go to SMAGT is not because she's a Wizard's kid, it's because she's Dresden's kid, and that asshole keeps pissing people off.

Maggie gets older. I believe she is about ten now and probably will first finish her current school. She might be just about twelve when she enters her new school.

I remember Captain Luccio telling Harry in Turn Coat that all her brothers and sisters were long dead, but she checked on her family's descendants to see if any of the children developed a magical talent.  That got me wondering what Luccio would do if a great (by 6 or 7 times) niece or nephew showed a budding magical talent.  It's not like Luccio would kidnap a child with magical talent, but she would have to find a way to introduce them to a teacher and mentor in a way that wouldn't upset the parents or make them suspicious.  Telling a preteen or early adolescent that they are a wizard is probably not a good idea.   
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

I'm not really interested all that much in Maggie's classmates except perhaps in a paragraph or two in the next book in the series.  Once that is written then bring on Hogwarts by all means, but not before.

I mean what confuses me is Wizards live for 300 to 400 years but Ebenezars only had one child?

That's more sterile than the White Courts supposed to be.
