Star Wars / Harry Potter Tri-Wizard Tournament AU idea: Finn is the Durmstrang Champion. He’s also Muggle-born.

“Like all of them, I was taken from a family I’ll never know.”

We go with the idea that Durmstrang, like Hogwarts, receives funding from the Ministries of Magic (or equivalent) of the countries whose children are students there. Presume that the funding is based on a headcount, so the more students you get, the more funding you have. But over time, their strict no-Muggle-borns policy was dropping their headcount way too low. And then some motherfucker (Hux’s dad, in this verse, I assume?) had the bright idea to do something extremely immoral with Muggle-born kids and memory charms.

Have this start during or shortly after one of internal wars the wizarding communities have, and nobody bats an eye at the sudden uptick of “wizarding-born orphans” suddenly on the attendance rolls.

The kids themselves figure out over the years that something ain’t right, and then figure out what. But now what? How do they find their families?

And then comes a big international spectacle that some of them are old enough to enter themselves in…

(Rey and Rose Tico are also Champions, but I don’t know which one is Hogwarts and which one is  Beauxbatons)
