This was Thorsten’s last class of the week and it was with the fifth years. They had there OWLs to study for this year and he hoped to prepare them for it. Though ghoul and ghost studies, wasn’t exactly a hard subject theory wise it was when you had to deal with ghouls that it became more complex. Not that Thorsten was worried about that. He just hoped that they would continue the class next year.
Sitting at his desk as his students arrived, Thorsten hardly showed any expression as he looked to see theirs. Getting up and going to the front of his desk he leaned up against it before flicking his wand to the board revealing the subject topic on the board. “Good afternoon and welcome back to ghoul and ghost studies. I hope you enjoyed your summers.” Thorsten greeted before reminding them of their upcoming test at the end of the year. “Reminder, you have O.W.L testing this year. So we will be preparing for that through the year.”
“Now, let us review so I know what to focus on later, one topic each please.” Thorsten asked of them before adding. “Once that is done we will continue into new material.”
Thorsten decided to make this class lesson relatively fun. How? He was going to get his students to locate the ghouls in the classroom. That was technically the purpose of the class after all. Standing outside of the classroom, he waited for his students to arrive. “Good afternoon,” Thorsten greeted before explaining why he was outside of the class today. “Today you might wonder why I’m outside the classroom. We will be catching ghouls today. They are hidden in the room and you’re job is to find, then catch them.” He informed them before going into how to do so.
“The ghouls we will work with are hidden as objects. In order to find them you need the Ghoul Finder Charm. The incantation is Deprendus Lamia, pronounced Dee-PRAIN-dos Lah-mee-ah.” Thorsten told them carefully pronouncing it despite his German accent. “Wand movement is a tiny flick. If successful tip of wand will glow from faint yellow to velvet red the closer you get to a ghoul. The red glow appears when within a three meter radius of a ghoul.” He explained. “Concentration on spell means it will remain active. Lack of concentration breaks spell. As for capture be creative, no fire please.” He finished before letting them into the room. “Now good luck, details of spell are on board for reference” Thorsten told them allowing them to have at locating the several ghouls thought the classroom.

Thorsten sat at his desk as his students arrived. He hardly showed any expression as they took their seats. Getting up and going to the front of his desk, he leaned up against it before flicking his wand to the board revealing the subject topic on the board. “Good afternoon,” Thorsten greeted before getting into the topic. “Today we will be discussing Inferi.” He informed them before the board wiped clean and a piece of chalk started writing the notes for the lesson.
“Inferi or an inferius is a dead body reanimated by dark art of Necromancy, Which is the art of raising the dead.” Thorsten told them as he walked around the room. “They are bewitched to do dark wizard’s bidding much like a zombie. As such they have no free will and cannot think for themselves." He said before adding. "These gaunt, skeletal beings appear pale white in color but very in eye and hair color like any other human.”
“Clearly no spell can bring back the dead making Inferi merely corpse puppets and not living. They cannot feel, as such they are immune to bodily harm and have enough strength to kill even drag human away.” Thorsten continued as he continued back up to the front of the room. “It can be noted that they can speak as well.” He added before asking. “Now any questions?”
Aria rushed to class, hoping she wasn't too late. Whirling through papers in her messy satchel she scoured for a fresh piece of parchment—anything that didn't have scribbles on it— and hurried to catch up with notes. She was going to be learning about inferi in her Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and soon, if she remembered correctly. Well, at least she'd be a little ahead of the game. A part of her wondered what they looked like, slow skeletal corpses or fast fleshy rotting zombies?

Gavin was the first to arrive, go figure. He shuffled into the classroom and made himself comfortable in the second row, stretching his legs forward and draping his arms on the desks behind him. He'd straighten up whenever class started but for now, he was still full from a late lunch and needed time to digest. Straight into review, better than introductions, Gavin supposed. He rose a hand to start first, ”We learned the differences between ghosts and poltergeists; ghosts were once human, they're more apathetic, while poltergeists cause mischief and trouble and were never human at all. Neither can be destroyed, but poltergeists can be hit with certain spells.”

Listening to his students it looked like they paying attention and at least recalled some information. It was a good base for all the review he was going to do come the end of the year. “Nice to see you remember previous topics, 10 points to each of you.” He said before going on to what the lesson would be. “For the rest of our time we will be discussing ghouls.” Standing up from his leaning option at the front of his desk, the German wizard flicked his wand at the board once more. The board wiping clean and a piece of chalk started writing the notes for the lesson. “I suggest taking notes down from the board.” He gestured before continuing on.
“Ghouls resemble a slimy ogre with buck teeth. They are not so much dangerous but they can be a nuisance. They find their homes in attics or barns of wizarding families. I too had a ghoul at a time, noisy creatures. They mostly groan and throw objects, which makes them rather dimwitted. However, great taking care of pests, as that’s what they eat.” Thorsten told them as he walked around the room. “They resemble a slimy ogre with buck teeth. As the classification suggests, ghouls are not so much dangerous but they can be a nuisance. They find their homes in attics or barns of wizarding families. I too had a ghoul at a time, noisy creatures. They however take care of pests, as that’s what they eat.” He explained before going on. “At the ministry, Ghouls are beasts classified as a scale of two. That means Harmless or may be domesticated. They have the ghoul task force there in the regulation and control department. Their job is to remove unwanted ghouls from houses.” He finished as he made his way back to the front of the classroom.
Turning back around to face his students, Thorsten decided to mention a different type of ghoul. “There are also varieties of ghouls. One in particular, the Chameleon Ghoul can disguise itself into everyday objects. Thus avoiding detection… Now any questions?” He asked before looking up at the clock. “If not then you are dismissed.”
