The Heir of Slytherin probably isn't scary yet. In the book, the title was associated with the scare from fifty years before and with the general Slytherin-is-evil sentiment, neither of which applies in 1800.

Valid. "Bunch of students mysteriously attacked by monster" was more what I was going for anyway, the mythological details were incidental.

Doe this Maedhros get Trauma? I am always in favor of Maedhros + Trauma.

What's this Celegorm up to? Is he basically Charlie Weasley? Does he accumulate lots of miscellaneous magical critters, that seems like it might lead to Plot.

Is Feanor the overinvolved-parent-from-hell that the school administration has to deal with, because I find it hard to believe that he's satisfied with this education for his children.

Maedhros making friends with house elves is an unbearably adorable concept and I want to see so much more of it.

I feel like Feanorians are likely to take the concept of a RESTRICTED SECTION in a LIBRARY as a personal offense/challenge.

Maedhros makes friends with portraits. Maedhros makes friends with ghosts. Maedhros makes friends with the Sorting Hat. Maedhros makes friends with Hogwarts.

Surely Curufinwe wants to experiment with casting spells in non-Latin languages.

why am I not surprised that a Fëanor accelerated the state of magical transportation by 50 years?

Even better, it being Exactly 1800 was a capitalized digit!

Yes, I like capitalized digits!

He also accelerated Muggle transportation. Muggles didn’t have trains yet then in our world, and this was built in a pre-existing Muggle train station.

I guess that doesn’t mean the Muggle trains run on steam. They might run on oh sorry we must have misfiled the patent but surely nobody did magic to the engines because that doesn’t exist and besides it would be illegal to claim that was how it worked anyway even if it were.
