Rey felt her irritation spike before she took a deep breath to calm herself. "Oh I'm sorry," she told Rowan Yaxley, "I thought it was obvious I was talking to your sister by the fact that I was facing her and talking to her directly but if you were confused by that, I sincerely apologise." Was she that sensitive about her name?
She then spoke to Tiernan, Esther and Darian. "Tiernan, Darian, Esther, I'm sorry I called you by your surname. Since we didn't have a formal introduction, I wasn't familiar enough with you to feel comfortable calling you guys by your first names but since you don't like it, I'll call you guys by your first names from now on." Here she turned to Darian; thinking about it a bit more, technically Darian was just giving her own opinion and Rey realised with embarrassment that she had jumped to conclusions. "Darian, I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions, I'm a bit sensitive about these issues since I've seen many people, including my friends get ridiculed for their beliefs." Rey then turned to Tiernan, she had spoken reasonably and she raised some very good points, Rey had to suppress the grin that was threatening to come out. "And regarding what you said Tiernan, you're absolutely right. Chance plays a large part and we're not omnipresent, we can't know everything and neither can we control everything. Our recorded history is full of flaws and is almost always biased, but this doesn't mean it's useless. We shouldn't use history to control, but as inspiration. I have already mention the usefulness of history culturally, let me talk about it's practical uses now. In the wizarding world, we've had many goblin rebellions. We've succeeded in suppressing them and so our accounts of those times are biased in our favour but that doesn't make it useless, the opposite actually. We see the consequences of our actions and now there's a chance that if another was to happen, we would know what things to avoid doing and saying, increasing the chance of a peaceful resolution because we know what had offended the goblins in the past and caused increasing tensions to escalate to war. This example can also be used when talking about the centaurs and merpeople. And now, another example from the muggle world; smallpox was a disease that was rampant in Europe in the old times and caused widespread death and permanent scarring. One man, Edward Jenner, looked through the history of his area and noticed that farm maids never suffered the disease even though everyone else did. This led to the discovery of vaccines and because of this, smallpox is completely eradicated. You are right, studying history doesn't always stop idiots from being idiots and repeating past mistakes with disastrous results, but it does help with that often enough for it to be valuable. More than that, it helps us deal with current problems and lets us become more innovative and progressive, which our society needs."

Gavin entered the classroom and took a seat to himself near the center of the room. It was the best place for him to observe his fellow classmates and watch them interact. .In a matter of minutes, Gavin surmised that the majority of his classmates were an emotional lot; the majority seemed something like pacifists; one or two were out for their own gain; a few shared the same beliefs as he; but then it got too confusing to keep track when the discussion became something serious.
Gavin wanted to sigh, but he knew better. 'I just want to go outside, it's so pretty today,' he blinked away from his distraction to watch Tiernan defend herself and Darian; and then—what was the third triplet's name?--she bounced up and Gavin blinked back his surprise. 'She's a Yaxley?' It was hard to believe. Then she glared across the room, hissing. 'Oh, there it is,' he nodded to himself and leaned back casually; this was getting interesting.
When Reyna next spoke, Gavin found he could hardly remember the beginning of her statement by the time she reached the end. How much of that was bad memory or a lack of attention, he wasn't sure. 'Maybe I'm just bored,' he thought. Because this wasn't very mentally stimulating; not to him. Not anymore. Now it was tedious. But somehow, Gavin couldn't help but feel the urge bubbling inside of him to say something—anything—but whatever that was, it had to be constructive. It couldn't be stupid. His brother always points out when he's being stupid, and he didn't want to do that now. ”You're all right, I think, and isn't that the point? History is important for a good many number of reasons, but at its core, it helps to build on how human beings perceive their surroundings and how they interact with one another. Which is why some people take this a bit more personally than others, because of their own past experiences and familial history.”

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.
"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."

Rey hoped she wasn't late as she entered the classroom and took her seat. Quickly setting out her things, she listened as Professor Powell started talking about today's topic, Hogwarts' History, taking notes dutifully. She always found Hogwarts fascinating and when the professor offered to answer questions, she quickly raised her hand "Excuse me sir, but can you please elaborate on how Hogwarts was protected during the founders' time?" she asked when recognised.

  Saio Mio Ukida
First Year Hufflepuff
Adopted ☼ Half-blood Location : History - Monday @ 1:00pm
Saio was hoping that no one would argue in history class this week. Last week wasn’t exactly the best in her opinion. Why did people have to say such mean things…? She didn’t have anything against her fellow classmates but couldn’t they all get along. Pushing the thought aside, Saio sat in the middle of the room taking notes on Hogwarts history. Being the first one in her family to go to the school aside from her aunt, she didn’t know a whole lot. Then again history wasn’t exactly exciting.
There were these founders and they made the school. They didn’t all agree on things, so one guy left. ‘Oh that’s Salazar Slytherin…’ Then something about the Triwizard Tournament, followed by the Battle for Hogwarts where Voldemort was defeated by Harry Potter. Yeah, that was the just. ‘I hope I’m following…’ She thought not too sure about some details. Dare she ask for details on that battle? Saio shook her head at the idea, probably would be far too much information for her brain to handle.

Vitomir listened intently to the lecture on head houses, and while he was somewhat glad to be sorted in slytherin he was glad that the other houses disagreed with Salazar's views or he may not even be in this school. Vito perked up at the mention of the name that he was called during his first night at hogwarts.
"Sir, if I may ask who's this Voldemort. A lot of people mention him, but exactly what did he do to be so famous? I mean this Potter was a big deal because he beat him so he must have been powerful or something right?."
Vito wanted to know some of the exact details since if he was going to prove himself better than Voldemort he should know what the man did to earn such status. ▣ ═══════ ▣ ═══════ ▣ ═══════ ▣ ═══════ ▣

"I'd die for you," that's easy to say, we have a list of people that we would take
A bullet for them, a bullet for you, a bullet for everybody in this room
But I don't seem to see many bullets coming through, see many bullets coming through
Metaphorically, I'm the man but literally, I don't know what I'd do

Ivar propped down to his seat without knowing who he was sitting next to, which was bascially what he do all the time in every class. Usually he would sit between Arnie and Glynn, because friends, but sometimes he wanted to explore more and just sit wherever. That was just how he rolls in everyday life, anyway. He took out his notebook, he wrote down the details in English then it switch to Swedish and eventually Icelandic. Not that he cared, anyway, these were his notes. Though, maybe, if there were any classmates who really wanted to ask him for his notes... He could just... translate them, he guessed? He turned his head on the person beside him asking who exactly was Voldemort, well that was already easy. Moldlywart was that guy who hated people like him and his brother, muggleborns. Leaning back on his chair, he said to Vitomir, "Let me tell you about the guy, Vitamin. This guy named Voldemort, but I prefer calling him Moldywart because he's ugly, is famous for being an arse over Muggleborns like me because he thinks he's hot shite. He was an idiot and that's all you need to know," Not that he had any personal problems with a dead guy, but he was already close to Hitler and that was bad enough. Besides, the people who attacked Hogsmeade about four years ago were said to Neo-Death Eaters, and they almost killed his brother in Hogsmeade like seriously!

"I'd live for you, " and that's hard to do
Even harder to say when you know it's not true
Even harder to write when you know that tonight
There were people back home who tried talking to you
But then you ignored them still, all these questions they're for real
Like, "Who would you live for? Who would you die for? And would you ever kill?"

Gavin arrived to the class in a rush, he was late and he knew it--he just wasn't sure how late. Apologizing quietly to the professor with a low nod, he hurried into a seat beside Reyna while questions were being asked, and smiled gratefully at her as he whispered, ”Looks like I missed most of the lesson, would you mind terribly if I borrowed your notes for a few minutes? Pretty please?” Gavin flashed a sheepish grin hoping to charm his way for a 'yes.' It wasn't that he expected her to say no though, he was being cheeky; he just can't help himself around girls sometimes.

Rey saw Gavin rushing into the class before apologising to Professor Powell and taking a seat beside her. When he asked to borrow her notes, she didn't even have to think about it. "Sure!" she said as she passed them discreetly to him; she didn't mind helping when she could athough she wondered why he was so late. "Got lost?"

With a toothy grin, Gavin sighed in relief and said, ”Thanks, I really appreciate it,” before he turned to shuffle through his satchel for his notebook and quill. If he hurried, he should be able to finish copying it all before class was over. Switching his blue-green eyes back and forth between her handwriting and his neat cursive, he paused when she asked her question, and he locked eyes with her when he spoke. ”Lost?” He laughed simply and shook his head. ”Hardly. Just lost track of time is all...” His voice and attention faded as he spared a glance at the professor to make sure he wasn't looking their way, then he whispered, ”I was trying to find where they kept the brooms for flying class. Try and sneak one out and practice some flying on my own, but, no luck.” He shrugged his shoulders, defeated in this battle, but the war has only just begun. He had an entire year to either pester one of the upperclassmen, one of the quidditch captains (if he trusted them) or sneak and stalk to find where all of the quidditch equipment was being stored. Is it really such a crime for a first year to want to fly? ”I'll probably try looking again after class.” After a deliberating pause, he turned back to Reyna and tilted his head as he quietly asked, ”Would you like to join me?”

Rey chuckled quietly when Gavin thanked her, replying with a quick "No problem." She watched out of the corner of her eye as Gavin tried to copy her notes quickly before he replied, laughing as he denied getting lost. Rey tilted her head as he quietly explained that he tried to find the school brooms, shaking her head wryly when he finished. That's a really good idea, why didn't I think of that before? She loved flying; they really didn't do enough of it and flying some more outside of quidditch would be great.
She opened her textbook to distract herself for the duration of the lesson; she planned on finishing reading it and if it made the lessons more boring, she could borrow another book from the library. She looked up when Gavin mentioned looking after class and when he invited her to join him, a slow grin spread on her face. "Definitely," she whispered to him; there was no way she'd pass up this opportunity.

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.
"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."
