We Cool Considerate Men Q&A Session 1!

Now with your hosts Harry, Holly, George Washington (Or as I call him, George WashingSWAG), Yours Truly, and Hermione!

Me: I now call this session of the Q&A Congress to order! 3 April 2016, our first meeting. Mr. Flitwick, you have the floor.

Harry: What's up, guys? So, I have been reading your reviews, and a good percentage of them are questions; therefore, in this Chapter-But-Not-A-Chapter, I am going to be answering some of them along with my younger sister Holly and my awesomesauce BFF Hermione Granger. Hmm. Let's draw the first question out of the hat!

*the Sorting Hat is brought into the room on a stool.* LET THE Q&A SESSION BEGIN!

*And now for a line break brought to you by Benedict Arnold!*

Question

Who is the sister referred to as getting along with Hermione?

Answer

Harry: "The sister referred to as getting along with Hermione" is my ten-year-old sister, Holly. She will be starting Hogwarts next year. SOMEBODY *glares at author, who puts on her best "Who, Me?" face* forgot to write her in, but (I hope) that error will soon be fixed. Anyway, as for how she came to be, she was born a year after I started living with Scarlett and Eugene. Hope that clears it up.

Question

If George Washington never left the colonies during his childhood, how the bollocks did he attend Hogwarts?

Answer

Me: The chair recognizes General George Washington of Virginia!

WashingSWAG: Hello random strangers and people I don't know from the future! So, the question on the table is how I attended Hogwarts if a) it was a British school and b) the history texts say I never left the Colonies, am I correct? *Cue nodding.* The answer to that is somewhat simple: this little thing called misinformation. You see, in this world, my family and I wrote down false info in our journals, which then served as the basis for the Revolutionary Era chapters in History textbooks two hundred years in the future. We gave the misinformation only to protect the Statue of Secrecy, and to keep us wizards from being discovered by you non-magicals. So, yes, I did attend Hogwarts, and yes, I did leave the Colonies during my childhood.

Question

How was Hermione in America when she was supposed to be in England?

Answer

WashingSWAG: I surrender the floor to Miss Hermione Granger of New York!

Hermione: Thanks General Washington! Well, the answer for that is very simple. Not. Anyways, a few years after I was born, for a confidential reason they do not wish to disclose to the general public, my parents decided to move to New York, while keeping dual citizenship for the United States and England. They enrolled me in the same school as Harry, and that was how I met him. Hope that clears some dust out of the air!

Question

Since Harry is (in canon) British born, won't he not be able to run for President?

Answer

Me: Now, this is an interesting plot hole I forgot to fill up. Thank you whoever brought this question to the forefront of problems to solve by leaving it in a review! Well, the answer to that is very simple. In this universe, Lily and James Potter actually were in America when Harry was born, due to the fact that they were on vacation. Yes, they were aware that Harry was the Heir of Washington and all that-

James: Lily, add that to the list of 1,000 reasons why little Prongslet is the best person ever to be born!

Lily: James! Oh, fine, I'll add it.

Me: Be quiet, you two! I'm trying to answer a question! -including the fact that he would have to run for President one day. Due to the Natural-Born-Citizen clause in the Constitution, if he were born on British soil like in canon, he would not be able to run in the election. Therefore, I wrote it so after Harry was born in America, James and Lily moved to England and made everyone think Harry was born there.

Question

If Harry is blood-related to Flitwick, is he part Goblin now?

Answer

Me: Okay, thanks whoever brought this to light. I forgot about that aspect, but I am now about to address that. As for the answer to your question, he has a very small fraction of goblin blood, and no this will not affect the plot line very much. I have not really thought this out yet, but I will let you know if I need to change this answer in order to make the plot of the story work out.

Question

If Snape was only treating Harry rudely in Canon due to his relation to James, and he only knows Harry as a Flitwick in this AU, why does he treat him so rudely?

Answer

Me: Wow, this is a toughie. You, whoever asked this, will have to wait and see. *Grins evilly.*

This is the end of our Q&A session! Hope this clears some stuff up, and be on the lookout for more updates coming soon! :D
