History of Magic Lesson 3 - All Years

Kate had heard that Professor Newbury had to leave due to injury, but no one had really known why. She had meant to ask the headmaster, but she thought better of it. Glancing around the classroom, she nodded her head only once. Her mind was elsewhere, as she raised her wand and the chalk was writing the day's lesson on the board. She thought a more recent show of events would distract the children for the time being, as they might need a rest from other subjects. Slowly she turned and saw what was written. The Fall of the Dark Lord.

She frowned, then shrugged her shoulders, why should they know? Maybe it was because she had suspicions of her own and something told her that history repeats itself, and she didn't want that to even begin. she leaned up against her desk, and waited for the students to come in, as she cleared her head. She was at Hogwarts, everything would be fine.

Naomi headed to History of Magic with Finley, still a little distracted because of Jake's absence. She hoped he was alright. (She didn't dare think the word alive, though it was buzzing in the back of her brain. She was sure they would have informed the students if one of their professors had died.)

Still, class was class and she had to be prepared to learn, so she and her best friend sat in the front row and she pulled out her textbook, some parchment, and a pencil, doodling aimlessly on the scrap of parchment.

When Naomi realized that she was drawing the scene from her vision, she crumpled the paper into a ball, dropping it in her bag. If she'd known how, she probably would have set it on fire. Instead, she began purposefully drawing a still life of the classroom around her as she waited for Professor Juvenca to begin.

Venus wasn't too fond of returning to History of Magic due to the fact that Professor Juvenca had set them all on fire unexpectedly. But she had better things to occupy her thoughts for right now. She had caught a rumor that Professor Newbury was gone, and the Headmaster was covering his classes. This raised her suspicions, who else could be gone that she and her classmates didn't know about.

"Morning, Professor Juvenca." She smiled, her tone hinting a small amount of annoyance. She still wasn't pleased with her, and she wasn't sure why her feet had lead her to the lesson. She took her seat in the middle though and began pulling her books out, looking at the subject that they would be discussing. The Fall of the Dark Lord. Was there some kind of link between her lesson and the reason of Professor Newbury's disappearance? Was there something she knew that they didn't? It all became very confusing as she gave up and continued on with what she had been doing to start with.

Alberi felt he was one of the only ones not over reacting over the absence over one teacher. He was sure that Professor Newbury was fine. Or would be. He was a good wizard, after all, or he wouldn't be teaching at Hogwarts. Alberi was sure he'd appear at the end of the year, in worst case scenario he would be back at the beginning of the next year. Couldn't everyone just calm down, they have more important things to worry about, after all.

The boy entered the classroom and looked at the board. The fall of the Dark Lord? That must have been that Voldemort guy from a few years back. Alberi had gotten across the name Harry Potter in one of his books and was interested in him. They did have one thing in common - both of them could have been Slytherin but gave been put in Gryffindor. Yet it was for different reasons. Harry didn't want Slytherin. Alberi was told by the sorting hat that he would learn something here (though Alberi didn't learn something different to what he would learn had he been in another house). The boy-who-lived had an easy to remember story. He didn't get the fuse though. Surely if he did not have his friends he wouldn't have been so prised for living? Honestly Alberi didn't know what to think. He wondered what had happened from him now. It wasn't written in the library book he had taken, after all.

Kate smiled as the students each walked in. Nodding her head in greetings to each of them, glancing at the clock over the door, she closed the door with a simple wave of her wand. She took to observing the board for a second, "The Fall of the Dark Lord. one of the greatest history lesson in the century. In today's time at least. The wizard who took down the Dark Lord, Harry Potter, survived the Killing Curse." She paused once more. "Who can tell me, Why did he survive the Killing Curse that everyone lost their lives to?" She asked.

It was an easy question, but she hoped it would get their brains moving. As it was the last lesson before Final Exams, and she was confident they would be fine, but one always had doubts. She waited for an answer, and in the process pulled her hair back into a pony tail. I could get quite warm when the door was closed and she was sure the students could feel it. She opened a window while waiting.

"Yes, that is correct." She praised. She was tired and needed the bell to ring, as her last lesson was continuing. Frowning, she paused taking a small breath to continue to the lesson, only to be interrupted by the bell that had gratefully sounded. She motioned to the door with her wand, the heavy door opening.

"Stay out of trouble." She said as the students walked out of her classroom.
