 ≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ Grayson Powell History of Magic Professor
Former Ravenclaw ≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ Now where did I put that wand?Grayson walked to the classroom and over to the chalkboard. He quickly wrote on the chalkboard and then turned to the class."Hello again class, and welcome back. Today, we're going to discuss probably the most famous headmaster that ever served Hogwarts, as well as the rest of the wizarding world. Albus Dumbledore. Yes, I can hear some of you now wanting to dispute that claim, but that is the opinion of most people. We will try and keep an objective viewpoint however about the topic.
"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorcerer, was the Transfiguration Professor, and later Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Professor Dumbledore also served as Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot. He was a half-blood wizard, the son of Percival and Kendra Dumbledore, and the elder brother of Aberforth and Ariana. His father died in Azkaban when Dumbledore was young, while his mother and sister were later accidentally killed. His early losses greatly affected him early on, even at his death, but in turn made him a better person. Albus Dumbledore was considered to be the most powerful wizard of his time. He was most famous for his defeat of Gellert Grindelwald, the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and his work on alchemy with Nicolas Flamel.
"It was through Dumbledore that resistance to the rise of Lord Voldemort was formed, as it was he who founded and led both the first and second Order of the Phoenix. Due to the fact that he had a keen mind and legendary power, Dumbledore became the only wizard that Voldemort ever feared. He was the wielder and the master of the Elder Wand from 1945 until 1997 and considered by many as the greatest Headmaster to ever grace Hogwarts. As he was about to die by a cursed ring, he planned his own death with Severus Snape. Though he was no longer alive at the time, it was through Dumbledore's machinations that Voldemort was ultimately defeated and peace restored to the wizarding world. He is the only Headmaster that was laid to rest at Hogwarts. Albus Dumbledore's portrait still remains at Hogwarts."He looked about the class, and continued. "Yes, I do realize that that was a generalization of the man, however to cover it all would take several classes, which is actually what I planned to do. Please, should you have any questions, I would be happy to discuss them."----------------------------------

≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ Grayson Powell History of Magic Professor
Former Ravenclaw ≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎ Now where did I put that wand?Grayson watched over his book as his students entered the classroom. This year was OWLs for them, and they definitely needed to make sure that they were up to speed. He didn't know how much they knew, but it was his job to make sure they were prepared for the exams ahead. He was prepared to give it his all, allowing all the students to at least have a good chance with the exams. ""Hello class, and welcome back to History of Magic. As I am sure that you all know, this year marks your fifth year at Hogwarts, as well as the year that you take the OWLs. I expect that you all will be prepared for the exam, and that is why today and later on this year, we will be revisiting everything you have learned in this class. That way, I know precisely what to focus on for the exam. Today, I would like for each of you to please tell me about each topic that has thus been covered over your years in Hogwarts. One topic per student, and I wish to have everyone please give a response. It will help me to determine what we need to go over before the exams are here. Yes, I do understand that all of your other teachers are also probably giving you this same lecture, but that is so that you are prepared to face the exams and do the best you can in them." ----------------------------------

A list of cold, hard facts didn't post a challenge for the boy, so at least he knew he could take this class slightly less serious than others, such as Potions or Transfiguration. "We learned about Herpo the Foul last year," Chase said. "He hatched the first basilisk and was one of the earliest recorded parselmouth. He created many curses, such as horcruxes."____________________

  ♫Fifth Year♪Hufflepuff♫Seeker♪Vice Captain♫Prefect♪ ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄Tuesday, Ariana walked into the History of Magic classroom and sat in her usual seat at the front. When Professor Powell mentioned OWLs, the girl's heart sank a bit; however, a sigh of relief escaped her lips when the professor said they would be reviewing everything they've learned up to this point. She wasn't sure how well or poorly she would do on these exams. The redhead bit her lip in thought, trying to remember what they learned during the first few years. "We learned about Beedle the Bard-" she began before realizing she didn't remember what year it was. "Erm, that was, uh, few years ago?" she said, turning her statement into a question by raising her voice slightly at the end of her statement. "He wrote wizarding fairytales," she said with a small smle as her eyes narrowed onto her desk. Suddenly, the redhead remembered how her father and brother would read her his stories when it was time for bed. Her mother, being a muggle and all, would only read muggle fairytales while the two wizards in her family read stories like Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump. Format by MissMoony13

 Amanda smirked as she tried to remember anything that they had learned during the first two years. All she remembered from the first year was the argument, and the rest was a blur. Same for the second year. Her third year was when she really started paying attention in this class, and to tell the truth, she enjoyed the History behind all of this magical stuff. "I remember learning about Nicolas Flamel." Just like in her other classes, she decided against going into details on the subject.

"Greetings, Professor Powell. Way back in Second Year, we discussed the Deathly Hallows. The Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility, all that jazz." That had been one of the lessons that stuck out to her. That, and the Muggle Witch Burnings lesson in Third Year. It made her sad just to think about it, so she pushed the thoughts aside and switched to more cheerful ponderings... Like the OWL's exams coming up. Oh, joy... ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

 Shina Kiremono~Fifth Year~Ravenclaw Prefect and Seeker Shina's quill scritched along her paper, leaving neat notes behind. Facts and figures covered the page, precise and orderly. When the teacher asked about questions, their tidiness sparked a question. "Is it true that Headmaster Dumbledore was fond of extraordinarily unusual and often extremely eye-catching robes, even in formal situations?" Shina asked.  ((OOC: Going with the book descriptions here, rather than the movie portrayals ))

Amanda huffed quietly when Professor Powell started speaking. She shut her mouth after he told everyone to keep an objective viewpoint on the subject. Of course he's talking to me, she thought with a slight roll of the eyes. At least he didn't make it obvious. The Slytherin rolled her eyes when the ditsy, Hufflepuff at the front laughed upon hearing her name. Out of all the students in the school, the Puffs had to be the worst.
