Dabble Interview 23 August 2023
Mira:
--- Quote ---When you think about the potential favors Harry owes to the survivors who followed his Banner during the Battle of Chicago, this makes sense. Someone who saw Harry in action and suddenly found out their son, daughter or younger brother or sister was showing signs of magical talent, Harry would be the logical choice to that person to approach. They wouldn't know anyone in the White Council, but they would know Harry.

Or there is a very simple or perhaps obvious, maybe too obvious, Molly has younger brothers and sisters, the wizard gene is still present.. Or another perhaps, history repeats itself, as little Maggie begins to show talent, Harry takes her under his wing, trying very hard not to make the same mistakes his grandfather made with his mother.. Question is, will he succeed?

Helen Beckkit has enough power to be in the order of the big black pot, how about her daughter? We never hear if the fake shroud had any affect on her, but Harry has the real Shroud... Think of how Sir John will feel if Harry is responsible for healing her, and she becomes his apprentice, not to mention its affect on Helen. The only flaw I see, is that she was a child at the time, so she would have an almost Bonny like learning curve if she wakes with power...
Thoughts?

I rather like this, actually... well-considered!
Right now, she's a dangling plot-thread.
As Harry's new apprentice, she's woven back into the story... in ways likely to cause all manner of troubles for Harry. Both Helen Beckitt and John Marcone have a vested interest, and will react very-badly-indeed to Harry's interference. But Helen is both emotionally and magically unprepared to raise a strong talent, and... well, Marcone training her would be an "over Harry's dead body" sort of thing, I think.
The child-like aspect actually works well, here; Jim hasn't shown much skill with writing teen girls (they're either too little-girl or too adult).

I don't see it working because Helen Becket might even be older than Harry, or at least the same age. I don't remember Helen Becket being very childlike either, just a grieving mother and widow.
Conspiracy Theorist:
If she is a Wizard she is both long lived meaning a couple of decades in a coma is not going to be a big bite from her life, and she heals completely over time, so forget the fake shroud she may wake up of her own accord, without the physical deterioration long term coma patients have.
Indeed the events of Battle Ground may have “woken” her up escaping her hospital and in the six months since she has been a refugee confused by the time jump and by her own power.
