Chocolate Frog Challenge - Write about Lysander Scamander
Breaking Tradition
Lysander looked at the options on what subjects he wanted to take in school. The list was quite long on his choices, and he didn't know who to ask for help.
His brother, Lorcan, had decided within seconds of looking at the list, what he wanted to do with his future, and Lysander knew that Lorcan had the same dreams for a while now.. Care of Magical Creatures was top of his list, but Lysander had yet to make his mind up on the subject.
He knew his mother and his father both wanted him to take it. Lorcan hadn't been pressured by them on the subject, because he was just as interested in the subject as they were.
But Lysander hoped for more. He didn't want to go and explore and fine extinct and previously unknown creatures. He didn't want to prove the existence of any creatures, like his mother managed to prove that Nargles did in fact exist.
He wanted to do something different. He didn't care that it was a Scamander tradition. Maybe it was time someone broke tradition - after all, Lorcan would follow it.
Reaching for the stack of leaflets on the desk, Lysander pushed the top ones aside, stopping at one explaining how to become a healer.
He opened the leaflet, figuring that it was an interesting place as any to start.
