Review? Why am I not surprised?


David had come into history of magic a bit later than he tended to and took a seat a few seats down from Leo, figuring the fact he refused to pay attention in the class shouldn't effect Leo's paying attention like it did last year. He figured he'd just get into trouble for not paying attention on his own. The mere fact the class was so easy for him, since it was pure memorization, was more than enough reason he despised review. He read the book and showed up for class, why did he need a pointless review every year? Then again, he saw no reason to tarnish his good attendance record at this point.

He listened as he tapped his finger on his desk as Tanya and then Theo offered topics that they had gone over and Leo offered the addition to Tanya about the witch that enjoyed getting burned. "Wendelin the Weird? She was caught at least 47 times in various disguises to be burned," David offered with a shrug, before sitting back in his chair with a sigh. "Apparently she didn't have anything half way productive to keep her entertained at the time."

Sapphire walked into class and sat down ready to take notes. Of course, she had to put them away again, forgetting first day was review. And she had to roll her eyes. "Yes, we learned about the lunacy of the witch burnings. And how even more ludicrus certain witches were. But we also learned about Newt Scamander who wrote two books on magical creatures, one that we use today." She said with a sigh. Of course the one things they liked the most were the witch burnings.

He sat down next to Tanya with a small frown on his face. Of all the classes for him to've been late to, it had to've been this one, didn't it? This was, after all, his favorite class, so it just made perfect sense that he'd miss half of it. He was exaggerating of course, he'd barely missed five minutes, but still. Oh, well. Professor Powell seemed to be leading them through a review, which Echo supposed he did every year, so it wasn't that bad. He was just annoyed with himself; after all, how had he managed to forget his textbook that morning? Of all things? He'd been so glad to be going straight from Muggle Mythology to History, and he hadn't even actually gotten to do so, really, because he'd had to run up to his Common Room and back. He sighed; he'd have to leave himself a note or something in the future.

Sleep, the evil has passed, and you enter the dance...
The worst part is, you sell your cadence short.
You sow happiness with every step you take...
You wake up and life resumes its process.
While you walk like air in a world without music...
Devoid of your colors, a little too specific.
You swim in pain, and it's almost time;
Close your eyes, death awaits you.


And if it hurts, it's because they don't understand: Guilty
The knife lodged in your heart for so long: I can't believe I got lost...
And if it hurts, it's because they can't see you: Fourth Years
While your smile is finally extinguished: History of Magic

Elsie filed in late, a guilty look on her face. She'd managed to get lost. A fourth year, getting lost. It was a bit ridiculous. One wrong turn and she'd ended up in an entirely different wing of the school. She just counted herself lucky she managed to find her way to the correct classroom after that little adventure. She sat down on the other side of Echo and opened up her textbook.

IT ONLY HURTS BECAUSE THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND.


And if it hurts, it's because it doesn't include-
The knife lodged in your heart for so long!
And if it hurts, it's because they can't see you-
While your smile is finally extinguished!
Sleep, the evil has passed, it cannot catch you...
Breathe, you are no longer the bait.
Your pain is melted delirium and others-
Quickly forget that you are no longer with us.

David slunk to the back of the room, late for class. Honestly, they should all be grateful he even came to this class. What would they do without him making sarcastic comments? He sat in the back and stared at his textbook.

Somewhere between dirty and clean, water and smoke, laugh and you choke...

                                            Grayson walked into the classroom, ready for another day of class to start. Taking a piece of chalk, he quickly wrote on the board. He then turned to face the class.

                                            Professor Powell
                                            Ancient Egypt and Greece


                                            "Today, we're going to be examining the ancient cultures of Greece and Egypt, and how they used magic. Specifically, we're going to be focusing on several points in ancient history to really get a feel for how they must have interacted with not only the world, but also with Muggles.

                                            "In truth, ancient wizards and witches worked together with muggles, and muggles didn't fear them. Wizards were held in high esteem in that time period, and evidence can be found throughout the ancient world of interaction between the two groups. This particular piece,"
                                            he said, gesturing to the stone tablet that was displayed, "is actually a replica of another tablet that had to be removed from a dig site, as it clearly demonstrated several instances of real magic being performed, such as the curse that was placed on the tomb that this tablet came from.

                                            "There were several notable wizards and witches during this time. Circe was a Greek witch that specialized in transfiguration, and was well-known both in the wizarding world as well as in the muggle community for turning sailors into pigs. There was another named Andros the Invincible, who was well-known for producing a patronus the size of a giant, for which he gained his title. There was also Mopsus, who was a Seer and defeated his rival in a competition of their powers.

                                            "Most wizards and witches worked with muggles on numerous occasions. In Egypt, you can see the evidence for it in the tombs of rulers, as evidence of skeletons warped by magic have survived. These individuals probably ran across the curses ancient wizards placed to protect such sights from graverobbers."


                                            Grayson looked around the room, studying each student before continuing. "Please feel free to ask any questions, or to make any comments. While I know that everyone here might not be interested, at least some of you might be."

"Some are born great, some achieve greatness..."


Theo walked into class, sighing as he realized that he had to deal with yet another day of History of Magic, which had to be the single most boring class that he has ever seen. When he came in his first year, he thought that maybe magical history was going to be a lot more exciting...oh how much he was wrong. He was extremely wrong. However, this lesson seemed to have a little cooler spin on things though. He did listen, unlike what he usually did, but he didn't write anything down. The names were easy to remember and relatively simple to understand.

He did wonder how big giant was when it came to a patronus. Mainly because there was no set height on that. Not even anything to prove it was even possible, but he wouldn't express that opinion; so he didn't get in trouble.


"And some have greatness thrust upon them"

I hate history class. I already found out this much by just reading the textbook.


David entered the History of Magic classroom fairly early and took a seat near the back, pretty much the complete opposite of what he did for any other class. History was probably one of the easiest classes because it was just memorization, but that was part of the reason he hated it. Professor Powell wanted to make history into some interactive class, and answer questions, after going over what you could pretty much find out by actually reading. However, David firmly believed beyond just memorizing history for 'don't do this, do, do this' reference there was no use for the class. He could just sit in the library or something and memorize history facts. Yet, he was determined to keep a good attendance record so there he sat, his notes from the textbook sitting in front of him and twirling his quill in his hand not even bothering to take notes. He was bored, but at least the professor couldn't claim he was being disruptive, it wasn't like he was talking. Rude, maybe, but disruptive, he figured not so much.

Tanya made it just in time for the beginning of Professor Powell's lecture and took her usual seat as she wrote down everything she could while trying not to die of boredom. It wasn't that she didn't think it was interesting, as far as History lectures went this was by far one of the more pleasant ones, but still it was history. She was sure that if Elsie and Echo weren't going to strap her to a chair and her Mum threatening to burn her broomstick she'd just say forget it not even bother to try and pass her OWL. Evil, the lot of them.

Leonette took a seat in another history class. It seemed like this class got more and more boring over time. She knew the week before David didn’t sit next to her because they would only talk and ultimately get in trouble. However, that didn’t mean that she didn’t want to sit with him. Taking a seat beside him regardless Leonette listened and took notes on the subject. ‘Egypt and Greece... why couldn’t it be just a bit more interesting…?’

He was seated behind his desk, but as people filed in, he stood and walked in front of it to stand before them all. He waited until the last of the students found their seats before speaking.

                                            "Hello class, and welcome back to History of Magic. Today, I figured we could review what was learned in the last class as a refresher for those that may need it. After all, an entire summer has passed, which means you might have had time to forget some of what you may have learned. Please answer one at a time and cover one topic each. That way, hopefully everyone will get a chance to answer and participate."

Which when Professor Powell started class it indeed was. Julius raised his hand and offered, "We discussed Nicolas Flamel who was the only known maker of the Sorcerer's Stone." He shrugged and left it simple and at that, besides there were other classmates that needed to go. And why come off as a know it all? The basics were good enough for the kind of introductory review the professor was holding.
