Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight
Cuz it's always a good time.

Gah, didn't he have this class last week? Must they do it again? He listened to the professor speak of how the school was created, the founders, and this magical tournament that happened nearly a decade ago. Horribly enough he had read about these names in Hogwarts, A History but he didn't exactly know much about them. The founders yes, the bloody book wouldn't shut up about them, but Harry Potter he was sort of at a loss. He knew the basics but otherwise finite. "Well if the tournament was so hard to get inta how did Harry Potter get in? An' for that matter if only those of a certain age were allowed to be entered how come he was still able to compete?" he asked in disbelief.

Iris raised her hand her before she spoke anyway. "I know this one... At least I think."

She cleared her throat and addressed the question. "Apparently, from what I heard, someone had hexed the Goblet and entered Harry's name. I think they said that it was hexed so the name was treated like another school was competing as well, not just the Hogwarts and the other two schools. And since Harry's name was the only name for that 'school', he was selected automatically. The person that did it was man, well over the age limit so it was just a matter of writing a name and putting it in. As for why Harry was still able to compete, I think it was a matter of going on it with as a matter of continuing on with tradition as well as discovering who had did and why eventually... "

She then smiled and looked at the professor and then student that asked the question. "Did I get it right? Or was it a swing and a miss" She asked as she scratched her head sheepishly.

Serafina clearly understood what Iris said, finally. She let out a small chuckle as Iris scratched her head. She was slightly shocked when she heard that her cat was actually friendly around fowls. " Eeeeh? That's great! You can't really find cats like that around anymore. Cats that are friends with birds I mean. " She said, completely interested. She looked at another direction when the Gryffindor asked how her house was. " You could say that it's pretty good, I guess. I haven't met people from my own house, really. She hesitated for a while then continued, " Actually, I think I'm pretty out of place. "
TIME SKIP! A week had already past, Serafina once again entered the History Class with ease. She looked at the board to see words written on it. ' Hmmm. History of Hogwarts ,eh? ' she thought with a smirk as she walked to her seat. Professor Powell was discussing the other schools, as well as the Triwizard Tournament. She immediately wrote down everything the Professor said. She remained quiet as she continued to write down notes. She was intrigued when someone asked why the tournament was repeatedly tried to be revived. She didn't know that part either, so she waited for a classmate or the Professor to answer.

Yvette listened intently as she listened to the professor, taking down notes on his lecture about the history of Hogwarts. It was actually rather fascinating, something that she did not expect. She made sure to carefully record the names and dates that the professor mentioned, as well as the majour events that were covered. They were sure to be on some test.

Daniel Kiremono~Slytherin First Year~Half-Blood


Daniel rolled his eyes. "Fame. That's the answer to why they keep trying to bring the tournament back, and why Harry Potter got to compete, even though he was underage. The winner of the Triwizard tournament brings a great deal of prestige to their school. Having a winning student has often caused wizarding families to move to the territory of the winning school, so that their children would be allowed to attend the school that proved itself best. More attendance brings more money, a larger student body, and a greater chance to win the next tournament.

"Harry Potter may or may not have been magically bound to compete once his name was entered, I've actually read a pretty interesting debate about that. Regardless, the adults could have still gotten around this by having him make a basic attempt and giving up at each test, if they actually cared more about student safety than the fame of having The Boy Who Lived competing in the tournament. He could have walked into the dragon pen, tried to summon the egg, and surrendered. He could have cast the bubble-head charm, stuck his head under, looked around, and given up on the second task. He could have walked just inside the maze, then shot off sparks to give up. That's what responsible, rational adults should have done. But Harry Potter was famous, and being groomed to fight the Dark Lord Voldemort, so they just sent him in despite the staggeringly high death rate, and hoped for the best." Daniel shrugged, leaning back into his seat.

"As to why it is so dangerous...well, people want a good show. Make it too easy, too safe, and it's just one more meet-and-mingle. But if there's some real risk, then winning means something. People talk, they whisper 'oh, wasn't it so tragic, that Durmstrang boy died! But that clever little witch from Hogwarts, did you hear how she survived that task? Makes me glad my children will be going to Hogwarts, everyone knows it's the best school out there!' People gossip about tragedy, even more than they do about triumphs," he said.

Iяɪs quietly took her notes over the lecture. Her neat, swooping letters danced across her parchment. When finished, she looked around cautiously at the other students. They seemed to be in a heated conversation, and she didn't want to interrupt. So Iris sat silently, and waited for class to end.

History of Magic Professor
Former Ravenclaw

Now where did I put that wand?

Grayson swept into the class, ready to teach. He was actually a bit happier about this class, but still a little disappointed about the fact that they seemed not to be too inerested in history. Ah, well it really wasn't a surprise. Not everyone was excited about the same things that he was. He strode up to the chalkboard and grabbed a piece of chalk. He quickly wrote down the topic of the day and set down the chalk, dusting his hands off.

Professor Powell
The Chamber of Secrets


"Hello, class. Today we will be discussing the Chamber of Secrets. Now I know that some of you may have already heard about this, so please just bare with me while I bring the ones that haven't up to speed.

"The Chamber of secrets was built over a thousand years ago, around the same time that Salazar Slytherin left the school. There was speculation about the chamber for centuries, but no one could really even pinpoint how Slytherin could have created such a place to begin with, let alone what the Chamber was to be used for. However, that all changed back in the first half of the twentieth century.

"The chamber was opened, releasing a monster that only an heir to Slytherin could control. Since Salazar Slytherin was a Parselmouth, the creature was a snake. A basilisk, to be precise. The chamber had been opened by a then-unknown prefect by the name of Tom Riddle, and its purpose was insidious. That was to kill every one who didn't belong in Hogwarts. Namely muggle-born witches and wizards.

"Eventually the attacks stopped, as someone was apprehended for the crimes. However that was not the end for the history for the Chamber itself. In 1992, the chamber was opened again, this time by a fragment of Tom Riddle's soul. The attacks resumed, and it wasn't until the actions of Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley that the attacks stopped."
He looked about the class. "Now I know that some of you may have questions, so don't hesitate to ask. I would be happy to answer them to the best of my ability."

Yvette tilts her head quietly while she listens. Near the end of the lecture, she heard a bit of information that piqued her interest. Raising her hand quietly, she spoke up. "Sir, how did a piece of Tom Riddle's soul open the Chamber again? And who was apprehended the first time if it wasn't Tom?"

David wasn’t excited about history class. However when he walked into class and saw the topic on the board they would be doing he changed his tone. “Two good topics in a row how does that happen in a history class?” he asked out loud as he sat down in the class. He ended up taking a seat next to Yvette. When she asked how a piece of Tom Riddle’s soul could open the chamber he wished he knew the answer. "Yeah what kind of magic could do that?" He asked finally interested in a subject not related to spells.

Iris listened as the teacher talked about the Chamber of Secrets. She was intrigued by both the idea that someone could attach their soul to an object and that soul still live in inanimate. But the coolest was the Basilisk.

Aside from that, it scared her that people could hate other people so much that they would killed them just because of their blood or family. It was sad as well since she knew that she couldn't tell everyone in the muggle world that she was witch.

"What's a Basilisk?" Iris asked.

"Call me Christian."


It seemed like a good morning for history, as it was pretty quiet around Christian. That seemed like a historical type of atmosphere, and so be it. And of course, it wasn't too bad to learn about the Chamber of Secrets. Christian had heard most of this stuff, but some of it he hadn't, so he paid attention, sporadically making note of something. When he made a doodle on his paper, he wouldn't get too far until he's stop himself and realign his attention.

After the professor was done speaking, questions were asked. Christian didn't have a specific question, or an answer to the questions that were being asked, so he stayed silent, just like in the last class. It wasn't that he knew everything, or knew nothing, it was that he didn't want to get caught asking a "stupid question" as they were called, and becoming the laughing stock of first year. And silence was deadly, anyway.

Yvette's eyes flick to Iris as she asks about the monster of the Chamber. Smiling, she decides to answer it. "A basilisk is a huge snake with terrifying powers. It's gaze can kill you instantly if you look it directly in the eyes, and its venom is extremely lethal, even to the most powerful of magical beings."

Walking up into the History room, Xavier smiled at the topic. " Chamber of Secrets, yes! " he said, unintentionally. He let out a smile as he continued to walk to his seat. Sitting down, he took out his quill and paper and started writing down notes. And some doodles at the side of the paper while Professor Powell wasn't discussing. He was intrigued when the teacher said that Salazar was a parselmouth. ' Parselmouth? He can talk to snakes, can he not? .....Somehow a part of me wants to be one. ' He thought as he played around with his quill. He slightly frowned when the discussion went to the part where the basilisk would kill muggles. He remembered his Mom....as well as his grandparents' hate for her. Just then he heard Iris asking what a basilisk is. He was gonna answer when Yvette beat him to it. ' ....Again. This is the second time she beat me to answering, ' he thought , but was impressed at her answer. A smart girl like her, now why would she be in Gryffindor? He thought that she suits better in Ravenclaw. He smirked at his thoughts and just listened to the others' answers.

Serafina slipped into History class with a not much happy look. She sneaked to her seat while the Professor was discussing and wrote down notes. She leaned on her seat and stared blankly into space although she was still paying attention to the class. But then a basilisk was mentioned, and she immediately came back to the world to listen. It intrigued her, she had liked snakes before, but a basilisk was new. If the chamber of secrets was opened again, would another basilisk come out? Her eyes sparkled at the thought.Curious, she raised her hand and asked, " Then....if the chamber was already opened twice, can it be possible for it to be opened again? And if it's opened again, can it be possible for another basilisk to come out? " She wanted to know if it was possible. She wanted to see the chamber itself, and the basilisk. She didn't care if it's eyes are deadly, all she wanted was to see one. As soon as possible.
