"And you pretty much summed up everything we know about the Bard." Truebridge nodded.

Nothing.
So, raising his hand, he figured he could probably guess. Jake's guesswork was usually... erm... okay...
"A man..." he said, arm raised. "Or... a woman... Who is a bard... And they must have had cruel parents to be given a name like Beedle."
In his mind's eye, Jake could only imagine a large beetle doing bardly things... he let his hand drop, satisfied that he had, indeed, tried. Even though his brain was seriously malfunctioning at the moment.
"You have a good point. It's a terrible name, but a
wizarding name, and quite an old one."

"Quite correct, Elizabeth."

"Ah yes, thank you Kayla. Very much like muggle fairytales. We will get to that."

"Beedle the Bard was a english wizard that lived in the 15th century, born in Yorkshire. We dont know that much about him since he has always been a mysterious wizard, but if we can judge him through his tales, we can say he was pro-Muggle." That was why Elizabeth Green made sure her baby daughter knew the stories from an early age. "Also, he didnt seem trust Dark Magic."
"Thank you, Evangeline." Truebridge spoke gravely, giving the prefect of his former house a respectful nod.

Ethan nodded and winked at Raiden. "Right."
"Celandine mentioned a beard. How do we know he has a beard?"
