	~~Seeing the writing on~~ the ~~wall after Dumbledore's death, Malcolm's mother pulled some strings~~ and ~~had her son accepted as an exchange student at Ilvermorny the following year~~. ~~Malcolm fought her on it~~ of ~~course~~, ~~but with her son's life on the line, Olivia wasn't taking any chances~~.		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.

	~~And so Malcolm joined Ilvermorny~~ and ~~became a member of their Thunderbird House. He sent letters as much as he could to Cho, Luna, Hekate~~ and other ~~Ravenclaws, so he was aware~~ of ~~most of what happened during that year~~. ~~He was able to send what support he could through~~ the ~~mail... potion ingredients... research from~~ Ilvermorny~~'s library... but overall~~ he ~~felt powerless~~.		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.

	~~Then everything went quiet and~~ he ~~feared the worst. He tried running away a few times to get back to Hogwarts~~, ~~but Ilvermonry's security was tight... and they were paying special attention to the exchange students that were attending school there.~~		:'''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

	He felt ashamed when he returned the next year leading him to overcompensate for his absence... doing everything he can to be for the school now, and doing his best to bite his tongue when he is reminded of his absence.		:'''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.

			===First Two Years at Hogwarts===

			Malcolm had a plan, a good portion of which was based on 'advice' from his mother. Knowing he was a good flyer and athlete, he tried out for Quidditch his first year. He made the team, if by the skin of his teeth, but that was the start of his reputation. Malcolm is reasonably intelligent, and knows how to study, so he did well in his classes.

			When dueling clubs were started in his second year, Malcolm jumped at the opportunity to join. He did well, becoming the top ranked 2nd year out of the entire school, even if Ravenclaw came in second place in the Dueling Cup. Now a seasoned Chaser, Ravenclaw did exceptionally well, but also failed to win the Quidditch Cup.

			===A Year Abroad at Ilvermonry===

			Against his will, Malcolm was shipped off to Ilvermorny due to the political climate in Britain. As it turns out, this did in fact keep him safe, which was his mother's goal. It also made Malcolm feel like an outcast.

			Despite his reservations, and his focus on events back at Hogwarts, he did well at Ilvermonry. He was accepted by the Thunderbird Totem and joined his new House. Malcolm threw himself into his studies and sports, hoping to keep himself busy. He even picked up a couple of spells that he could perform passably without a wand.

			He spent most of the year waiting for Owls and craving information from his fiends back home. When he heard about the struggles they were facing he tired to help them by performing research and sending back information, the directions for a few dueling charms he'd picked up in America, and even potion ingredients, until he got caught.

			When communication with his friends went silent, Malcolm started to worry. He tried escaping and going back home a few times, but the teachers were very vigilant and were paying special attention to their exchange students from Europe.
