History of Magic: Lesson Two- Camelot & Merlin (All Years)

Rhys was optimistic about his History of Magic class, he never had a real great interest in history but he had a good feeling about today's lesson. Besides it was probably important to learn about how the wizarding world got to where it is now.

As the young boy walked into the class his eyes didn't know where to look first, there was so much to take in, even the Professor seemed to be dressed in old style robes.

"Hello Professor" Rhys said warmly as he found a seat in the first row, the boy's eyes were instantly drawn to a sword stuck in the middle of a stone, a puzzled look came across his face, if he didn't know better it looked like something you would see in transfiguration of some poor students attempt to transfigure a stone into a sword.

Rhys then pulled out his notebook and quill and placed them on the desk, coming to this class was definitely a good idea it was shaping up to be a good lesson.

It wasn't long until another student arrived, it was another Ravenclaw he had seen him around in various classes but Rhys almost treated him like one of the Hogwarts ghosts as he seemed to very much keep to himself, in fact the boy couldn't even remember if he had heard him speak.

It wasn't until he said down next to him that Rhys heard he speak, well it was rather one word than a sentence. The young Ravenclaw noticed he had a stammer, perhaps thats why he avoided speaking, Rhys had to admit if he stuttered he probably wouldn't feel like being the most chatty person in the world.

"Hello, Im Rhys" he said cheerily, but no sooner had he introduced himself and the quiet boy had his head buried in a textbook. Rhys looked at the boy with a puzzled looked before deciding to reignite the conversation

"Like reading huh?" Rhys stated, he was being captain obvious but that was the first thing which popped into the boy's mind.

Naomi slipped into the classroom, glad that she wasn't late or just barely on time for once. She stopped a few steps into the entrance to take in the interestingly decorated classroom. She spent extra time inspecting the Professor's old fashioned robes, as they were beautifully detailed, though nothing she would have ever wanted to wear herself. "Hello, Professor," she said quietly with a small smile. Her smile grew as she caught sight of the sword in the stone; that particular bit of lore, she knew. She read Muggle books along with wizarding ones in her spare time and both had mentioned King Arthur, although a book written by wizards was more likely to focus on Merlin.

Naomi recognized both of the boys there as her housemates, one first year and one she thought was in second. Smiling politely, she sat one seat away from the dark haired boy she thought was a second year. "Hello," she said shyly to the two boys before pulling out a scrap of parchment and beginning to doodle Arthur retrieving Excalibur from the stone.

Rhys was surprised that he got a response from the boy, he was half expecting the boy to sit there in silence. The boy introduced himself, Rhys had to pause for a moment while the boy said his name, his stutter made him hard to understand.

"Nice to meet you Finely..." Rhys said tentatively as for he was unsure if he had heard the right name. Since the boy didn't mention anything the young Ravenclaw took that as confirmation.

After asking Finely if he liked reading, Rhys was pleased that they at least had one thing in common, he was just hoping the boy would come out of his shell abit more "Oh I love to read, maybe not History books" the boy said softly before passing a glance at the Professor hoping she hadn't heard "I tend to read more biographies, or books on experimental spells"

Rhys saw another Ravenclaw walk in, he had met her once before very briefly in the Common Room "Heya Naomi, having a good morning?" Rhys said warmly before noticing the girl scribbling something on some parchment. It seemed that Rhys would have to get use to his House containing people who like solitude
