Welcome to Gaia! ::

XXXXXX

⊰Gia didn't know who made their schedule but she certainly wasn't going to complain. She didn't have class until late morning and even then it was History, a class she was most eager to attend to learn more about this odd and slightly backwards world of hers. She walked into class already seeing some familiar faces and decided to take the seat besides Tristan since he wasn't too too bad. A little annoying perhaps but not too bad. Then the professor started the class asking the ultimate open ended question of "what is history" which was not a good question from the answers that was popping up. Sera piped up with her rather stereotypical answer that it was written by the victors and then her other housemate started in on how stupid that was since the victors were sometimes the worse option and that you shouldn't believe something just because it was in a book, both good answers in her mind. It seemed liked it was just going to be the two of them arguing since no one else wanted to share their thoughts which made her think that maybe it would just blow over but then some Ravenclaw had to add their two pence about history basically just summing up what the other two had said which of course meant that the other Slytherin girl had to respond. Her answer made sense even if it made her roll her eyes. Seriously, they were eleven in 2029, not twenty in the seventeenth century. The "winning side," what even was that?! She allowed herself to give a small sigh when what she really wanted to do was blow a raspberry and wondered if there was going to be actual learning any time today or would an actual civil war break out beforehand. ⊱

spacePamela wasn't overly enthusiastic about going to History of Magic compared to her other lessons, but she was at least more interested in it than normal, boring history. Presumably she'd be learning about history from a magical perspective, which to her sounded almost like she'd be reading fantasy novel... or listening to a book on tape of one, since they would be getting lectures from Professor Powell. Pam decided immediately that she liked the man, though; he had a very pleasant face. Open and friendly-seeming. Also, he had his feet on the desk, which was very chill of him, and not at all what she would have expected from a history professor. She settled in next to her best friend and Alice, not even remotely surprised to see that Aster already looked bored out of her skull. And then, of course, a few of the students seemed to be arguing, though why, she didn't quite get, because it didn't really seem like any of them disagreed with each other... well, except the Slytherin girl. Pam wrinkled her nose in distaste; being on the winning side wasn't more important than being on the right one! But, she didn't want the so-far somewhat heated discussion to turn into an all-out fight by contradicting the brunette, and so stayed silent on the matter. Besides, didn't want to make a bad impression on the obviously-awesome professor on the first day of class! That'd be bad. You never wanted to get on the cool teacher's bad sides, it was never a fun place to be.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxHufflepuff First Year

Sybil walked into the History of Magic room a little less enthusiastic than she would've liked to appear. As her first class of the year, Sybil wasn't all that excited. She wasn't like Lexine, she got bored with history and couldn't sit through those dumb documentaries for a minute before falling asleep. Sybil knew she was going to have to watch herself. As soon as Professor Powell, whom Sybil decided she was at least going to like as a person, if she wasn't going to like his subject, introduced himself and asked them a question, what seemed like a debate started, and in the centre of it was some prim-'n-proper Slytherin girl. Sybil blinked a few times, staring at the girl. The 'winning side'? Didn't care about history repeating itself? Most of what the girl was saying was very...well, dumb, to state simply. The girl was obviously a bit stuck-up; it was people like her, Sybil realised, that gave Slytherin a bad name. However, Sybil stayed silent. She was too smart to interject, with people like her it was useless to even try to explain how wrong she was. History wasn't written to show why 'the losers were losers and the winners were winners' and so 'we can shape our actions in the suture so we can come out victorious as well'. And learning to not repeat history was something that was very important when learning about history, Sybil had gathered that from the bits and pieces she retrieved from Lexine. And wasn't her saying 'if something had been tried and failed ti would be awfully moronic to try the same thing again' a contradiction to her later statement, 'I really don't care if history repeats itself or not'? The Slytherin made Sybil want to throw something at her...but she wasn't going to do that, now, was she? Sybil just sat, silently stewing in the corner of the room.

Grayson walked into the classroom, eyes examining the room as he steps up to the board to write something in large letters before placing the chalk down and standing before the class.



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."

Now where did I put that wand?

Let's say sunshine for everyone.
But as far as I can remember-
We've been migratory animals...
Living under changing weather.
Someday we will foresee obstacles.

Through the blizzard, through the blizzard...
Today we will sell our uniform!
Live together, live together-
We played hide and seek in waterfalls;
We were younger, we were younger.

Emma spent the whole morning after breakfast walking the castle. The last thing she wanted was to get lost on her first day of classes. So when it came to get to her history class she knew where she was going (for the most part). The white haired girl entered class early not knowing how long it would take her to get there from the Hufflepuff common room. Taking a seat near the front, Emma hoped her Professors were nice. She'd met one and she was related to another but she wouldn't have either of them till later on.

Pulling out her history book, Emma looked to the front when class began. She honestly didn't know what to expect in a history class to do with the magical world. Listening it seemed to her like one of your typical history classes so maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Being asked why they learn history, Emma slowly raised her hand. "Um... history tells us where we come from and how we've come this far." she answered. If not for this class she may never know how she became so different, like her uncle. This was a world she wanted to know about or at least enough to get her by.
