Muggleborn Student

Say a muggleborn student would have been a third year during DH but was on the run instead, what year would they be when they got back? Are they technically held back to start their third year or do they skip ahead to their fourth?

Hi Motth! I'm not an admin, but this is my understanding of the muggleborn student situation:

There are a few options for what your character could have been doing during that time. Most students either transferred to Beauxbatons (which would mean they could continue into the next year like usual upon their return to Hogwarts) or were on the run, perhaps abroad or in the "Ward", an MH-canon underground community where muggleborns hid out during the war.

If you choose the second option (on the run), your character's preparation for the next year would depend on what specifically they did with their time. If the student was on the run/living in the wild and focused mainly on surviving, they probably wouldn't be prepared for the fourth year and would need to do their third one upon their return. However, if they were in a more stable situation and had some sort of private tutor or alternative schooling for the year, they might be prepared to move on to the fourth year when they came back to school. I think you would need to explain what their year was like and defend why or why not they would be fit to be in the fourth or third year the next fall.

Hey again, @Motth!

Sophie hit all the main points!
If your character started school during Order of the Phoenix playtime, then Deathly Hallows would have been his/her Third Year - if s/he had been Halfblood or Pureblood, they'd be a current Sixth Year now. But if your Muggleborn went into hiding and did not have sufficient tutoring, then s/he would currently be a Fifth Year (instead of a Sixth Year). From what I can recall offhand, in most cases students on the run were not able to get sufficient tutoring (unless they transferred to Beauxbatons or went into hiding with The Ward and began tutelage very early on) and thus needed to "repeat" a Year.

Feel free to message me if you still have questions! I love timelines and can help you sort things out! ^^
