[ Harry is a bit embarrassed, but he doesn't actually know where Macedon is. His knowledge of geography and world history is spotty at best and made up mostly of half remembered primary school classes and entirely forgotten Magical History lectures. ]
no subject
[Which basically means it's not in Asia Minor]
Although with the gods willing, I shall make it my own someday, too!
[ie He'll get Waver to take him to visit sometime]
no subject
[ Harry isn't entirely sure if 'make it his own' means conquer or just visit with enthusiasm. ]
I'm sorry, I don't think I got your name? I'm Harry.
no subject
And then let them keep ruling after he leaves]
Well met, then, Harry! I am Iskander, King of Conquerors!
no subject
It's a real pleasure to meet you.
[ ...wait for it. Wait for it. He's starting to put things together. The name, a vague mention of Macedonia (which could be Macedon?), being a king of conquerors. There's a vague recollection of Hagrid talking about gold-digging ants found in India by Alexander the Great and how the muggles thought it was all bunk now.]
This might sound a bit odd, but have you ever seen a giant gold-digging ant?
no subject
An ant? No, although I did find little dog-like creatures that did much the same thing as they dug.
no subject
When I was in school, we learned about how Alexander the Great went east, on beyond India, to conquer the world and he found these giant ants, the size of a mule, that gathered gold. There was also something about camels, but I don't really recall that bit.
no subject
They weren't quite that large. I believe they call them "gophers" nowadays. They dug tunnels under the desert, just as ants, and the dirt they threw out was mixed with gold. The Indian men took their camels out to where they dug and loaded them down with the gold to carry away.
no subject
[Hermione is going to be so envious. (And likely have so many questions she'll want to ask.)]
Oh, I know those, but in my world, the ants really were and are real. They're a bit like nifflers, but not as friendly.
[Given that they have a tendency to eat people.]
no subject
You don't say! Are they really that large?
Pardon my ignorance, but what is a niffler?
no subject
[ That's a very big "if", Harry. ]
They're sort of small, squashy, round things with a long nose that love anything metal. If it shines, they'll try to eat it.
no subject
[His Riding stat ensures that - he can ride anything that's not a god or a dragon, pretty much]
Those would be entirely too useful to have when raiding!
