"Catch the breeze and the winter chills"

Appearing cheerful Ayla walked in with a feather light step, greeted the class with a wave and took a seat, listening to the conversation that was going on around her. She stuck up her hand and smiled;"I agree with that we learn it so not as to repeat the biggest mistakes and that how we view history varies from person to person, mostly because of the way it is taught or portrayed." Ayla glanced towards a Ravenclaw boy who had suggested the last bit of what she had said, glad for at least a familiar face, even if she didn't know him well.

Nina walked into class, almost late. She sat next to Ari and listened to the question. All the answers were quite nice actually. She really didn't have anything to add, except that one blonde was rather rude about correcting another students answer. "Sorry, but I don't think that is what he meant. I don't know what you believe in, but he probably meant 'our' as in our ancestors. To learn from what is supposed to repeat itself unless fixed." She said calmly and actually quite proudly. How she hated snobby little brats. She had probably never even gotten her hands dirty...

Kaitlyn and her twin walked into class. Kaitlyn let Vanessa pick their seats and happily followed her to them. They were asked a question and Kaitlyn didn't want to speak up. She didn't like to be noticed. Especially when it seems some were already arguing... That was just annoying for the first day, and Kaitlyn wanted no part of it. Not one bit.

Vanessa walked in with her twin and picked a seat. Kaitlyn sat next to her and Vanessa went about listening to their lecture. She smiled at the thought and decided to speak. "Well, I would suppose that it would help us learn more about ourselves. Our thoughts and views about what had happened could open up a part of a person." She said thoughtfully.

                                                          spacePersephone slipped into the class late, a small frown on her face as she sat down and attempted to follow the conversation. She blanched at the discussion her fellow first years were having, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Her shoulder slumped lightly. Weren't they supposed to be learning about actual history? Not having philosophical debates over the reasons for why history was important, although she supposed teaching a kid that it was important would be a good way to make sure they were paying attention. Still, she didn't really want to focus on her own past. She could have snorted at the Slytherin girl who'd said they weren't really old enough to've had anything worth learning from in their past, at least, if she hadn't been so depressed by the conversation. At the tender age of eleven, Persephone already felt like she had far too many things in her past that she'd rather not think about at all, and weren't those usually the things you were supposed to learn from? It wasn't technically her own mistakes, she supposed, but... still, it was a bad part of her history. And really, it had shaped her, and was making her make mistakes now. She thought back to the feast, to the mean things she'd thought about Jess, the prefect, and looked down at her desk. She couldn't shake the feeling that, deep down, she was a terrible person, just like her grandfather.

                                                          spaceElliott was annoyed with himself for being late to his lessons, not caring for the horrible impression he was undoubtedly leaving on his professors. But, he didn't quite have any way to change it now, so instead he decided he would just have to be a model student and prove himself that way. He slid into a seat, somewhat amused that apparently the first lesson for History of Magic had turned into a debate of sorts. He didn't really have anything to add to it, but it was interesting to listen. He did wonder what the professor would have to say... it rather seemed like the majority of the class was disagreeing with whoever had started the discussion, though he couldn't be sure since he'd missed whatever the first comment had been. He took out his quill and parchment happily, curious. So long as no one lost their temper, this could be a very interesting lesson.

User ImageDylan looked behind him quickly, to the Ravenclaw girl he had met earlier in Flying, and a Gryffindor girl he didn't recognize, although he did remember seeing her at the Sorting in passing. It seemed like she had the trademark Gryffindor personality, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing. He was glad that at least some people agreed with him, which didn't make him feel as stupid as that Slytherin girl had made him feel, although the Slytherin boy who came in right after was unexpectedly nice. Never judge a book by it's cover, right?

He turned his attention back to the front of the classroom. His mind wandered a little too far sometimes.

Audrey slipped into the classroom and took a seat in an empty spot near the back. She took out parchment and a quill and listened curiously to the answers of the other students. The other students had some great points, to which the blonde nodded in agreement. Audrey just rolled her eyes at some snarky responses. By the end it felt like people were just repeating the same points, but wording them in different ways. This was when Audrey's mind started to wander, and she stopped taking notes to stare out the window.

                                            Professor Powell
                                            History Of Hogwarts


                                            "Hello class, and welcome back. Today, we're going to go over the history of Hogwarts."

                                            "Hogwarts was founded in the ninth to tenth century by its founders, Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. They came together to build the school due to increased suspicion of muggles and magic, and wanted to teach students without fear of prosecution. However, not all of them agreed on which students should be accepted into the school. Salazar Slytherin wanted to only admit purebloods, which was at odds with the other founders. He left the school, and never returned.

                                            "Hogwarts was one of the finest institutes for magical learning by the thirteenth century, and together with Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, started the Triwizard Tournament. However, due to injuries and deaths resulting from the tournament, it was disbanded six centuries after it started. There have been many attempts to reinstate it, but none have been successful.

                                            "More recently, the school has been the site for many different incidents in the last century. It was here that Voldemort learned his magic, and here that Harry Potter defeated him in the Battle for Hogwarts. It has also been the site for the most recent attempt for the Triwizard Tournament, and obviously remains a major school for magic today."


                                            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."

xxxDylan sighed and ran a hand through his messy hair right before Professor Powell started to speak. He sat up a bit and dipped his quill into the ink bottle located on the desk, writing down notes corresponding to what was being said, mainly important figures in the magical world. His mother had told him most of this, especially about Harry Potter and the founders of Hogwarts. She even claimed she had met Harry Potter once. He didn't see what the big deal about that was, but apparently it was. His notes ended with '...Hogwarts held most recent Triwizard tournament..' He raised his hand once Professor Powell was done speaking, having a question. "Does anyone know what happened to Salazar Slytherin after he left Hogwarts?"

Wendy sat down in History of Magic, having arrived early and listened as the professor began his lecture and taking notes quietly. She glanced up when Professor Powell asked if there was any questions. She suppressed an eye roll when the Ravenclaw, Dylan asked his question about Salazar Slythering and repressed an eye roll. Of course he would ask something. Such a stereotypical Ravenclaw. Well, she supposed the future head of the family was a Ravenclaw, but at this point most of the family just assumed it was a mis-sort of some sort. Though she supposed he did essentially focus on his studies and that was about it.

Placing down her quill and letting out a sigh she muttered, "Well obviously Salazar got someone pregnant somewhere in his life at least once, that much is obvious..." She frowned glancing away. There was the Chamber of Secrets that required the heir of Slytherin to open, well actually any parseltongue could, but he had intended the chamber for one of his heirs to open and the late Dark Lord Voldemort had been an heir so obviously Salazar had one child in his life.

Dylan looked behind him as he heard a familiar voice. Wendy, that Slytherin girl. He sighed and rubbed his temples in frustration, noticing the arrogance in her voice. blue]"Not again.. he murmured to himself, loud enough only for himself to hear. He wished he could go through at least one class without a Slytherin making some smug remark about what he said. But he guessed that was just what was going to happen, and he'd have to deal with it. It wasn't like it was that much of a big deal, but it would've been nice to have at least a mildly enjoyable first year.

He walked into history class, one of his favorites. He loved all classes to be honest, but he especially loved history because the whole point that he brought up in the last class. He did enjoy it though because he learned why everything was the way it was during the present day, which explained a lot of point of views of philosophers and whatnot. He really didn't know what else, but it just solidly interested him. And when the professor began his lecture, he paid close attention, not taking notes, rather committed the information to memory. He hated writing notes and all that made him do is become bored. So he just sat there, with his arm's crossed. He did note that Slytherin only wanted purebloods admitted, which is why Slytherin was probably chock full of Purebloods and even some elitists. Of course, there were elitists in other houses, but primarily in Slytherin. It actually made him wonder what Odelia's take was on that whole elitist situation. He wondered if she was an elitist or not.

But either way, he considered this class a success because he learned what he needed to learn. And it wasn't like he was going to study it or anything. He didn't study at any point during school. He just read some of the books to get the basics during the summer and then just rolled with it.

Mira wasn't exactly surprised that Wendy started something last class. It seemed like she would be the type although not in your typical sense. No, she'd be nice about it. In a way it was a bittersweet kind of behaviour. So evidently Mira was prepared for the same thing to happen again today.

As she suspected the Ravenclaw kid asked something and Wendy decided to state the clearly obvious. Mira had to agree with Wendy however she wasn't about to say anything on the matter. Her comment would only get her wound up in detention. So instead of causing even more trouble Mira raised her hand to strategically change the subject.
"Will they ever bring back the tri-wizard tournament?" she asked curiously. God would she love to take part in that death trap.

Anger and resentment,
A dark path you tread,
I would be careful, young one,
But, I know where you belong...
Slytherin!

Arianna sighed as she walked into class so far this was her least favorite class. She found a seat and sat back listening not bothering to take any notes. She listened at the poor Ravenclaw got harassed by the bratty girl in Slytherin. She rolled her eyes at the comment. She continued to listen to the other discussions around the room.
