My silence was the silence, silence of rocks,
My silence, it was the silence of the stones,
Rocks and stones,
Rocks, stones and trees;
Of the landscapes
Full of ups and downs.


Timothy couldn't believe he actually managed to get so caught up in the library that he hadn't realized that he was nearly late for History. But he couldn't help it! The Hogwarts library a thousand times bigger and better than the one at pre-wiz school and plus it had so many books. He was sure if it weren't for his sister and Benjamin he would live and sleep here and only leave to eat because it would be blasphemy to eat in such a respectable library. But he digressed, he was almost late to class! He managed to slide in just as the door was closing and the professor was writing on the board. He took a seat and pulled out both his notebook and parchment ready to take notes. He had previously read about the Hogwarts founders in Hogwarts, A History but one couldn't know too much could they? When it came time for questions he didn't have one so he instead stayed quiet (like that was so hard) and waited for the end of class.

Of course Wendy had to open her mouth and once again after the ravenclaw kid spoke. Not only had she become irritating but she was being rude, the worst was her words made no sense. Genevieve had been taking vague notes, dipping her quill in the ink again she scoffed, not bothering to look up at the Ravenclaw boy spoke. "Do ignore her, it seems the poor thing is in desperate need of attention." Finally looking up from her notebook she smiled toward the boy, hoping he was not judging all of the slytherins in the room because of her. Sure Gen was rather stuck up and selfish at times but she did not make a fool of herself in class.

Mira question however brought Gen's curiosity back, looking up to the professor awaiting his answer.
"Yes, you would think by now they would have allowed it. " Her tone was bored, but she truly wished she had a chance to have seen one.

Dylan had turned his attention to the other Slytherin girl, who seemed much different from Wendy, as in she wasn't bluntly rude. Although he didn't know this girl well at all, so he could've been wrong, but that was just his first impression. He was also sure that every house had at least a few rude people in them, not just Slytherin and the like. He returned the smile and slid his gaze back to the front of the room, a soft sigh escaping from his lips.

Seymour arrived to class just in time to be able to catch enough wind from his other classmates that apparently the redheaded Slytherin girl in their year made some other snide comment. He wasn't even sure what the topic of the class was until he looked to the board and saw the topic was: History of Hogwarts. He shrugged, figuring, since the redhead wasn't still making comments it wasn't that big of a deal. She could make enemies all on her own. Besides, she already didn't seem to particularly like him before she even spoke to him. Whatever, her loss, Benjamin decided propping his chin up on the desk and neglecting to copy much of the notes. He didn't care if the girl was a right pain or not generally as long as he didn't have to put up with it and she wasn't excessively going out of her way to start arguments-she wasn't there yet, or so Seymour reckoned.

"Catch the breeze and the winter chills"

Appearing flustered, Ayla arrived late for the first time to a class, having gotten distracted by one of the talking paintings and then held back on the moving staircases. Apologising to the teacher quickly, she sat down and rummaged through her things, eventually finding what she had been looking for; her copy of hogwarts a history. Looking up, she immediately sensed the bad atmosphere and shrank into her seat, not sure if she should say anything or get involved, as she had no idea what had been happening before she arrived.

He didn't know anyone here, not really, and he just took out a quill and parchment and took notes. However, the parchment was soon filled with doodles as he got bored with the lecture. Sighing, he rested his chin in one hand and waited for the class to be dismissed.

                                            Grayson looked up from his book as he noticed the students coming in. He didn't know how long he had been sitting reading, but the effect was always the same. Usually it would end with him being confused about what was going on, but today was different. He was supposed to be teaching the class, and as usual, it left him a bit awkward as to how to go about it. He however decided to go about doing it the simple way.

                                            "Hello, class, and welcome to History of Magic. I am your professor, Grayson Powell. In this class, there is no wandwork, since magic doesn't help you to learn about history. Therefore, your wands will need to be put away." He stood, taking his feet from off the desk and faced the children directly. "History is a collection of events, as I'm sure you are all well aware of. However, these events help to shape the world around us. If not for the witch burnings of the sixteen hundreds, we would not have the Statue of Secrecy. If not for the crises of the last century, we would not have cooperation of all magical folk." He glanced around the class, letting his gaze fall over each of the students. "Now, can someone tell me, besides what I have stated, why history needs to be learned?"

Dakota's first class and this was the one he was looking forward too. In fact he couldn't have been more excited about it if he tried. He spent all morning trying to read up on the history so he knew something about it. Sadly being raised away from the world of magic made learning about it difficult. Taking a seat at the front upon class starting Dakota raised his hand to Professor Powell's question. "We learn history so we can take away from it. Prevent previous mistakes. We can't turn back time... so if we learn from the past we can move forward, without coming to the same problems. Of course, mistakes will always be made but that's why learning history is so important so we know how to correct them."

Louie had arrived to class promptly, thankful for the lewdly drawn sketch of directions that an upperclassman had given him in their haste to not be late. The cursive was messy and the ink blotted heavily, but he had managed well enough. With a spared glance at his class schedule, he checked the time on a silver wristwatch he wore and strode diligently inside. History of Magic was intriguing enough, so long as the professor didn't bore him to tears, he'd do well in the class. One other student had arrived before him and had just settled in his seat. Louie followed suit, choosing a desk in the third row strategically close to the door but not too close to the professor to feel uncomfortable.

He laid out his materials; textbooks, notebook, quill and ink, and only partially huffed at the notion of having to put up his wand. It'd hardly left his hands since he'd gotten it, and really, who could blame him? He felt naked without it. The professor began his introduction, one of the students piqued a curious response and Louie straightened up a bit in his desk when he decided to throw out his two cents. ”To be a bit more specific—to end tyranny. Over history, we all hear of the dictator, emperor, or king that conquers half the world and enslaves them. If the people don't remember, than the government can strip you of your freedoms and just do it all over again.”

As this was her very first class, Pru couldn't help but be excited, even if history wasn't really her thing. She took a seat just behind Louie, and sighed a little as she stowed her wand away. She hadn't even gotten to use it yet! The question the professor posed was fairly simple, but the answers were not. She felt like she should answer, even if she didn't want to. "Um, to understand the story? That is to say, isn't history, human history, just a big story we're still writin'? We can't know what comes next, but we can look back an' study the past to be better prepared for the future, an' to see what made people do the things they did? Back then?" She felt like an idiot, compared to the Ravenclaw boy and Louie's answers.

xxxTom ended up getting to his History of Magic class a bit later than expected, but not so late as to miss the class. To be fair, it was his first class of the week, and it was early.. well, no, it actually wasn't. It was 1:00! But with only one to two classes a day, it was a bit harder to get used to than when he went to Muggle schools. He was sure he would adjust eventually, though, and besides, worrying about the schedule wouldn't really get him anywhere. He hiked up his materials under his arm, with his wand being cozily stuck into his front pocket. He took a seat next to Pru, her being the only one in the class at the moment he had ever talked to up to this point. He wasn't sure how to answer the question, seeing as how what he would have said had already been said in some form.

Consuming space and time you welcome it.

Truth or consequence; you yield and go-
And take control!

You’re hiding behind your plastic soul.

I don’t have a doubt who’s in control.

Vander thought he might just like this class. He liked history. He'd had his own family's history drilled into him since he could read and write. But his parents- well, his father, really, had warned him about what he'd be learning in this class. Of course things would generally have a muggle loving slant to them, that was only to be expected. But history was history, regardless of the lens you looked at it through. He still intended to learn it. He sat near the front and declined to answer to the question. It'd basically already been answered, anyhow.

xxxxxWhile she didn't mind History of Magic, she wasn't too keen on listening to the more "artistic," views on the reasons for learning such History. She quietly took her seat at the center of the front row, stowing her wand away as she continued to listen to the class.
xxxxxAt last, there was a simple silence as the other students seemed to still from their babbling. She calculated her thoughts reasonably as her eyes met the Professor's.
xxxxx"While we may not be able to turn back time, history is a constant circle. It will eventually repeat itself, much like a horrible fashion trend of the muggle world. We learn the history as to perhaps alter the events that may follow such reoccurring situation. Much like the second coming of the Dark 'Lord," the reoccurring events to follow returned with him. His followers instilled the same fear as he had previously done. The wizard that ultimately defeated him, it is said anyways, did so as a result of learning the history of such 'Lord.' It is our charge, of course then, do the same. We learn the history as to educate ourselves, or rather arm ourselves, with the ability to make the calculated educated decision that such perhaps circumstances may one day require. We are each a piece upon the board of life. We are each a pawn or knight, or queen, perhaps even a king and our decisions are the moves that may win the game in circumstances to come."
xxxxxAt the conclusion of her response, she quietly looked down into her book as she scribbled a couple of notes onto her parchment. The bells of her voice still ringing in her ears as she could feel the blush rise to her ivory freckled skin.

                                                          Tori walked into her first class of the day. Not only was it Monday, but this was History class. Ugh. The one thing she had going for her was that this class didn't start until one in the afternoon, which meant she could sleep in if she wanted to. The girl wasn't a particularly early riser, but she didn't like to sleep until noon either. Well, she didn't sleep very well last night in general, to be honest. She, like many First Year students, was homesick. At least, she hoped some were homesick. Then she wouldn't feel quite as childish about it.

                                                          Either way, she was here, and she was awake, for now. 'It's the first day. You have to stay awake on the first day,' she thought to herself, taking a seat next to Kota in the first row. If anything, she could sort of absorb what he was saying when he answered the questions the professor asked. That was learning, wasn't it? Tori smiled at her friend and gave a small wave, then she turned to face the professor and listen to the other students' answers. 'Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake!' she chanted silently in her head.

                                                        Better check that, I'm about to upset, and I'm hot now so you better step back! I'm taking over so watch me shine!
