━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Rey entered the class and took her seat, quickly taking out her supplies. Deciding that it didn't hurt, she also took out another book she'd brought with her and started to read as she waited for Professor Grayson to enter and start the class. She'd already finished her most of her textbooks and this book was one of the last one left unread that she'd brought from home. I'll have to get to the library soon.
When she heard the professor enter the room, she quickly shut the book, hid it under her parchment and did her best to look unconcerned in case it was against the rules; she was halfway through the book, she didn't want to lose it now. When Professor Powell started speaking, Rey listened and grudgingly took down her notes; finishing the textbook made the subject a bit more boring since they were basically repeating what she'd already read and Rey hated repetition. As soon as she finished, she opened her textbook and under the pretence of studying it, hid her other book under it and continued to read again. The world of a painter with powers seemed infinitely more interesting than class at the moment.

Vito listened to the teacher talk about the Chamber of Secrets. And as fascinating as the tale is Vito had some questions that he just could not help but bring up. "Sir if I may ask, how does one build a chamber large enough to hide a monster like a basilisk with no one knowing about it? I mean something like that should have taken months or years to make, and the other founders knew nothing of it? If it was just a passage to some underground cave system I could see that being more likely but you'd have to put a lot of effort and materials into building a chamber. And if this was after he left the others how did he get back to the school without anyone seeing him?" Vito asked, hoping that his question did not seem too unreasonable to ask, it was hard to tell at some points, it seemed like every time he tried to take part in the class it ends up backfiring in some way. ▣ ═══════ ▣ ═══════ ▣ ═══════ ▣ ═══════ ▣

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?"

Garnet was one of the early students in class, taking a seat somewhere at the front. The main reason why he wanted to be on the front row was just because the only focus he has in the professor and nothing more, as he wanted to avoid looking at people looking at him in case he was going to raise his hand and speak up. Quietly laying down his crossed arms on the arm, then resting his chin on it, he listened to Professor Powell quietly. The wizarding history made Garnet question about people as a whole, given how screwed up some icons did and affected the present, which was them. When being asked about why history needs to be learned, he raised his hand and answered stiffly, "Easy, because people before us did the most stupid things possible and left for us to suffer and fix it. It's already obvious, right?." Well, wasn't that obvious? It took like twently years before someone like his uncle Topaz to clean up the mess their ancestors did during the 1990s after the Wizarding War. Like sacre bleu, people just dealt with it until someone had to step up.

See, I was born the second child... With a spirit running wild, running free. And they saw trouble in my eyes; They were quick to recognize the devil in me! See, I was born a restless child... And I could hear the world outside calling me. ΛĿƐӾΛИDƐŔ ṖĤĪĿĿĪṖ ΛѴƐŔY first year │ gryffindor │ pureblood
Alec did not want to be in this house, and he certainly didn't want to be in this class, even if it'd been nice to have a completely free morning before his very first class. He'd spent as much time away from the Gryffindor tower as possible, traipsing around the castle until lunch, and as such had even gotten to the History of Magic classroom early. The horror. He sat in the back near a window, trying to tune out the drone of the professor's voice. Like anyone cared about history or why it needed to be learned. The only exciting part of magical history was hearing about all the gruesome ways people had been killed. Thank Merlin this was his only class today, aside from Astronomy at midnight. At least that might be a bit exciting, because it was so late. And heaven knows how hard I tried- But the devil whispered lies I believed! Can you hear it hanging on the wind? Can you feel it underneath your skin? You've got to go on, further than you've ever gone... You've got to run far from all you've ever known...

Roo entered the room and took note of who all was there. So far, there just seemed to be two people there, one of them his fellow dormmate. Shrugging, he decided to take a seat next to the Slytherin kid, thinking that he could always talk to Alec in another class. After all, he figured that they lived in the same dorm, so it wasn't like they couldn't talk later. He slumped in his chair, waiting for class to start and then quickly found out that he was getting bored as soon as the professor started speaking. Which, yep, there went his hands, already tapping out a beat on his desk. Well, he could already tell how well he was going to do in the class. Which was not well at all.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Lucy knew that History of Magic should be more interesting than the history she learnt at school, but it was still history and Lucy always found history boring so she didn't hold up much hope for this class. Trudging into class, she looked around to see who was there before taking a seat next to Roo. "Good afternoon," she greeted him as she sat down and began to pull her things out. She hadn't spoken to him much but he seemed alright. She rested her head on her palm as she waited for class to start and while she tried valiantly to stay focused as Professor Powell spoke, she soon zoned out.

When the crypt doors creak and the tombstone quake... Spooks come out for a swinging wake! Happy haunts materialize and begin to vocalize; Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize! Now don't close your eyes and don't try to hide... Or a silly spook may sit by your side; Shrouded in a daft disguise, they pretend to terrorize. 𝔡𝔢𝔞𝔲𝔰 𝔴𝔥𝔦𝔱𝔢𝔰𝔥𝔞𝔡𝔢 𝔪𝔲𝔤𝔤𝔩𝔢𝔟𝔬𝔯𝔫 │ 𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔰𝔱 𝑦𝔢𝔞𝔯 │ 𝔯𝔞𝔳𝔢𝔫𝔠𝔩𝔞𝔴
Deaus smiled a bit as he entered class, he was excited to learn about all the things he could about history. Listened to the teacher speak and ask why they needed to learn history. So far the only answer was Garnets that was a little blunt to put it in a nice way. "It's not just the stupid things people did in the past that people left for us to fix. There are also the stories of heroes and deeds in the past that we can learn from as well. I'm sure you can talk to some of the house ghosts and hear all kinds of kool stories." The boy said looking over at his friend from the other house. Being raised partly by ghosts Deaus had a love for hearing old stories of their past. As the moon climbs high o'er the dead oak tree- Spooks arrive for the midnight spree! Creepy creeps with eerie eyes... Start to shriek and harmonize! When you hear the knell of a requiem bell; Weird glows gleam where spirits dwell; Restless bones etherialize, rise as spooks of every size.

FIRSTxYEAR xxx■xxxRAVENCLAWxxx■xxxMUGGLEBORN
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If there was one subject that Peter disliked back at school, other than PE, it was history. It was an utterly useless subject and Peter was disappointed that even at Hogwarts he was still expected to study it. He'd have thought they knew better but unfortunately, it looked like he'd expected too much.
Peter sat down in the back away from other students, pulled out the necessary books, then folded his arms and glared at the board while he waited for the class to fill up and start. Even the teacher looked useless, sitting with his feet on the table and reading, which didn't help Peter 's mood. He was almost glad when the teacher finally put his down and started speaking because it meant that they'd finish sooner, but that also meant he had to listen to whatever drivel the professor spewed out.
When the professor asked the question, Peter stared at him in disbelief. Did he really ask such an asinine question? He might have expected it from the other students but a teacher? Some Slytherin boy gave a basic answer along with another Ravenclaw and Peter shook his head. He raised his hand then stood up to give his own answer. "Frankly, sir, that question is ridiculous. There's no use for history. Why do we need to learn about what mistakes some dead idiots made? What use do we have for stories other than to entertain the children? We need to focus more on the now and future, otherwise we'd only become like those old codgers who have their heads up in the clouds and have nothing better to do than moan about things they cannot change and forget all about the present. If we only focus on the past, we'd remain stagnant and stuck in the stone ages. We don't innovate and modernise by concentrating on has-beens." After his rant, Peter just huffed and sat back down, glaring at the professor and daring him to try and refute him. Good god, he couldn't wait to get out of class and away from the stupidity.

x▧xDesmondxxxLanexxxMelanconxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxGryffindor First Year x Feeling: Confident x Location: HoM Class x With: First year Students & HoM ProfessorDesmond didn't really have any like or dislike towards history of any kind. It just had to interest him enough to keep him focused. History of Magic seemed promising, but he didn't really have any reason to speak up in class as he sat and read the book Gideon gave him, that was until the professor posed a question and the responses being given didn't agree with Desmond's idea of time. Slapping his book shut, he finally spoke up. "Time itself never ends, but it always repeats itself. Knowledge of history serves as a reminder of how far we come and how far we have yet to go. We are to learn from the triumphs and mistakes throughout history in order to form a better future for ourselves. Simply put; in order to stop the repetition of history we must learn from each generation's success and failure." If there was one thing Desmond knew, it was that everything you learned served a purpose. No matter how insignificant it may seem. OOC:A difficult choice indeed... You could do well in any house, And yet I see one fitting you quite well. Better be... Gryffindor!

Orphan Sisters for Life First YearsLocation : History - Monday @ 1:00pm With : Each Other & Classmates... Alana and Candace walked into History first and took a seat in the middle of the classroom. Honestly they didn’t expect to beat Minako to class. Though the last they saw her she had dragged Kimberly off for a change in shoes. What the big deal was… was anyone’s guess. “We beat Mina.” Candace said taking her books out. “Yeah that’s surprising.” Alana added looking around. After a few moments Minako and Kimberly strolled in just before the bell sounded. “You guys were cutting it close?” Alana commented to the two girls. “We were having a discussion on shoes.” Minako answered as she took a seat and got her stuff out. “More like we got turned around and might have gotten lost.” Kimberly added with a roll of her eyes. Taking a seat the Slytherin wasn’t looking forward to a history class. When class began the question was asked about why learning history was important. As students around the room went along it was clear some thought it was pointless well others had ideas as to why. Alana being who she remained quiet having no real answer she could add. Hearing Peter’s response she was a little annoyed. Probably not as annoyed as Kimberly who just folded her arms and bit her tongue. She didn’t care about history and therefore didn’t care about what Peter had to say. Candace on the other hand looked to Kimberly at that time to make sure she’d stay quiet. Despite not being in the same house as her friend, she didn’t want her getting into trouble. Out of the four Minako was the first to speak. Raising her hand after Desmond before speaking, “Our history tells us where we come from and what we had to go through to get to where we are today. The world’s history is just as important as our own personal history. Even if some don’t think that way...” Yes, Mina was referring to Peter but she was doing it politely. She wasn’t about to start something on purpose. “Our history makes us who we are.” Candace added knowing it wasn’t much but she was always willing to add to what Minako had to say.

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."

Valentín Mariano Angel Snowblood Eleven~ Gryffindor First Year► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ Valentín had never known Hogwarts was so old. Sure, he had known it was very old, but it had been open since the ninth to tenth century? That was even older than Val's grandfather. He had sort of thought this class was going to be boring, but he had already learned something interesting. He also was intrigued by the Triwizard Tournament, having only heard bits and pieces about it in the past. He wondered why they had failed... ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ((Out of Character ~))
