'''"Escape to Ilvermorny"''' 

This was a muttered comment Malcolm heard upon his return to Hogwarts in his Fourth year. He has a tendency to be touchy about the subject and he feels a significant amount of guilt for not being their for his friends. This guilt is part of what drives him to do more within Ravenclaw and throughout Hogwarts, as if he could make up for this absence somehow.

His time abroad was not wasted however, he through himself into his activities while at the American Wizarding school and picked up some spells and other techniques that are quite rare on the other side of the pond. While battling in the Ilvermorny Dueling League he even learned how to cast a few basic spells without his wand.

:'''Invoke:''' when casting a spell wandlessly, when casting a spell he picked up in America, for knowledge of America or an outside perspective on wizarding

:'''Compel:''' to have his absence during the Battle of Hogwarts called out, to have his logyalty to Hogwarts (or Britain) called into question, to have the 'privilege' or 'connections' of his family cast him in a bad light.


'''Charismatic Competitor'''
 
Malcolm made the Quidditch team as a First Year... no mean feat. When the Dueling Club was reestablished in his second year he threw himself into that as well. During his time at Ilvermorny he continued his athletic escapades, even though some of the sports were different. 

It's not just fun and games however... sports are one of the ways he's made a name for himself at Hogwarts. He's a star Chaser on the House Quiddich team... his flashy moves draw a lot of defenders, and cheers from the crowd, letting the other Chasers score most of the points. He's an even better duelist, and he loves being the center of attention.

Malcolm is a natural at winning over people, and through all his games and matches he is careful to be a humble winner and a gracious loser. Given everything the school has gone through, he doesn't want Hogwarts being torn apart again. Certainly not over anything as relatively trivial as an intramural sports league.

:'''Invoke:''' When dueling, playing Quidditch or any other physical competition. When trying to win somebody over or be diplomatic. When trying to diffuse a situation.
:'''Compel:''' to take competition a little too seriously, to have his wins (or losses) generate distrust or earn himself rivals, to have him play peace-keeper when another action might be more appropriate.
