Former Ravenclaw A sudden bang sounded throughout the classroom. "Enough!" Grayson glared as he pocketed his wand, looking around at the different students. "I don't particularly care if you may have grudges against each other, but in this classroom, they don't exist. Either the group of you will calm down now, or I will see all of you for detention." His gaze settled on each student. "Whether any of you like it or not, within this class, you will respect each other enough not to attack each other for their opinions."Grayson was annoyed. His first class with this group, and already he was wishing he had stayed in a library instead. "Now, if we can discuss this like civilized people, then you may. If not, then the rest of class will be spent with you reading your textbooks while the people responsible for the argument will have detention."

 Chase Henrick ~ Ravenclaw ::: First Year ~ 
Well, that took care of it. Chase relaxed and allowed himself to move his hand away from his wand. Not that he could've done anything, really, because his knowledge comprised of a curse and a regular spell. Ha. Though Chase coud've thought of something. If not, there's always the teacher with their pool of knowledge.
He didn't mind spending the class reading the textbook. Really. That's all he did anyways. Plus, he wouldn't have to speak. Though he was quite curious of the spell the professor used. "This is completely off-topic, but what's the spell you used for that bang?"
 "The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being.
His heart withers if it does not answer another heart.
His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration."

☠ Amanda Davis ☠
First Year: Slytherin You Touch Me..I break you.Amanda only stared at Matthew as Leonidas backed her up. She then turned to look at Shina, who gave a lecture to her as well as to Matthew. "I'm not that bad, I'll still do homework and show up on time," she said. She then looked at Selene who clearly had a major problem with Amanda. "What house should I belong to, then? I was put in Slytherin for my personality and how I act, so if this is how I act, where should I have been put? Do enlighten me," she said. I can't be the only student who speaks what's on my mind, she thought, waiting for Selene to answer. Suddenly, Marko yelled at her. Amanda looked at him, and he seemed quite angry with what Selene said. She then looked at Matthew, who was being rude to the Ravenclaw girl, Shina. "This isn't just about our house. It's her opinion on the situation, she can say whatever she wants, and obviously she hasn't 'sided' with me. She said stuff against what I said, but the difference between you and her is that she seems like a decent person who doesn't want to kill everyone who disagrees with her." With the last sentence that escaped her mouth, Amanda even felt like she was going to get in trouble. Whatever, it's true. He does want to kill us, she thought, rolling her eyes. She then turned to look at Benjamin, a Ravenclaw. "Did I say it wasn't important? No, I said it was boring." Don't put words in my mouth, she thought, darting her eyes towards the next person who spoke, Chase. She smirked as Chase said what Amanda said to Matthew, just worded differently. Amanda looked over at Leonidas who shook, then spoke, and shook again. "Are you okay?" she asked, actually a bit worried about what may happen if he continues to shake. It's probably nothing, she thought, brushing off any bad idea she may have come up with. Amanda's eyes suddenly darted towards the professor as he made a bang noise and shouted 'enough!' She sat back in her chair with a neutral face, not letting anything else escape from her mouth. wearing

First Year: Hufflepuff § M I L Σ ツit looks good on you.Amanda stayed focused on the situation, but she never said anything against anyone. She sat in her seat quietly until she heard the bang that Professor Powell gave off with his wand, and she screamed. That was scary! she thought, holding onto her desk tightly. wearing

 Shina was shocked at the outburst of a boy she hadn't noticed before. Looking at him, she realized he had the same look to his eyes one of her great-aunts had, the auntie who couldn't see very well anymore. Shina stood and bowed formally. "I apologize for any offense I have given you. My quote was not meant to be taken as such. That quote is actually meant in the opposite fashion. It means that the refusal to learn is a greater impediment to learning than any physical disability could ever be. I beg your pardon for causing you to think otherwise," Shina said in a clear, calm tone.  ((OOC: ... ))

Marko James I may not fully SEE you....I may not fully HEAR you..  ````Marko heard the teachers bang and groaned, sitting down and holding his ears. He could not hear well, but loud sounds hurt...bad. Tears came to his eyes. He saw the other girl get up and bow, resaying what she had said. He nodded, only hearing her a bit, but knowing he had misheard. The tears still in his eyes. "Sorry Teacher..." He said. But I KNOW you are there.

Shina quietly retook her seat. Hearing Chase ask what the spell was for the bang, Shina tilted her head. "I would also be interested in knowing what spell caused that noise, Professor. And I apologize for my part in allowing the discussion to grow out of hand." ((OOC: ... ))

First Year Hufflepuff
╚══════════════╝ Where am I? History of Magic
What am I doing? Listening to a stupid argument.
What am I thinking? Slytherins... Kat listened and watched as the Slytherins went at it with each other, then as Shina and Chase joined the foray. She opted to remain quiet, and with a quick glance at Sam,was happy that he stayed out too. She glanced back at Sam with an amused look on her face and rolled her eyes, mouthing the word 'Slytherins...' When the Professor sent out the bang, Kat jumped in her seat, but settled down quickly. She immediately buried her nose in her textbook, even though she already had read the first few chapters. Personally, she found history fascinating. Out of Character ...

Huffelpuff|1st year|Muggle-Born|Single Why must I be judged upon the purity of my blood? Steele walked down the hallway, finally finding his way to the classroom. He had gotten lost, and quite honesltly, he stll didn't know where he was, but he was lucky enough to come across the door in which he was searching for. But...when he went to open said door, a loud bang was heard, causing him to drop to the floor, scared for his life. He had heard that sound once before, especially since he lived in the borroughs of England. He had heard a familiar sound before. But...when he looked to see where that sound came from, there was nothng t see. He then walked into the classroom as if nothing had happened; yet, he was still scared for his life in a way. He looked around, the teacher seemingly mad, and the students dead silent. What had just happened? He then walked up to the teacher.
"I'm dreadfully sorry, I lost my way here. I'm extremely new to the twisting staircases," he said, hinting at his bloody purity. If the students had not known before, they knew now. Steele Thompson was a mudblood, someone subject to much bullying. But...Steele didn't expect to be bullied because of his tremendous size. Steele was almost 5 inches taller than the tallest person in the room. The tall blonde then found a seat towards the back, everyone seeming to look at him as he traveled to the back of the class...in shame. Will I ever be the same?

 First Year ~ Slytherin • mood:
◌●◌●◌●◌●◌●◌●◌●◌●◌●◌● Juniper had entered the room a little bit late from getting lost, and it seemed there was a heated discussion in process. She quickly and quietly took a seat in the first back row empty seat she could and listened to the argument, piecing together what had happened. The sudden bang made her jump, and she reached into her bag for the book to read from. 'Hopefully that mess won't mean the class will be only silent reading all year,' she thought sadly. She didn't mind history when it was taught as stories, with all the drama and perspective of the time. But some of the history books were awfully dry.◌●◌●◌●◌●◌●◌●◌●◌●◌●◌● {{OOC: had a family emergency, so
i'm getting caught up now.}} ◌●◌●◌●◌●◌●◌●◌●◌●◌●◌●

First Year Hufflepuff Another class, other challenges. Annabelle jumped in the classroom and found her friends. As she entered there was a load bang. This made Annabelle jump atleast 30 centimetre's off the group, and she made a small squeak sound.
"Ah..." she mumbled after her squeak.

╔══════════════════╗ Jennie had to agree with the students arguing about why history isn't important, but before she could blurt something out a loud sound filled the room, startling the first year. She listened to the Professors lecture, suddenly glad she didn't add to the argument, but freezing up when she heard the word "textbooks". Dammit, why does everything had to go back to those stupid textbooks? Jennie thought, letting her sailors mouth shine through. She eyed the darned thing on the edge of her desk before grabbing it and unwillingly opening the pages. ╚══════════════════╝

Sovay Róisín ó Súilleabháin Ravenclaw First Year~Sovay had been lost in thought throughout the entire argument. But now, she spoke, oblivious to whatever turn the discussion had taken. "I would say that the purpose of learning history is not only in the hopes of learning from experience, but to understand the reasoning behind where we are today and all the thoughts and sacrifices and wishes and desperate measures that went into putting us here. It is to help us understand the human condition, the how and why of people."

Former Ravenclaw 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 over the class, carefully regarding the students before them before speaking. "Now if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them. However," he rose a finger, "there will be no arguments like there was last class. The person that does will find themselves in detention." He really hated that last part, especially since he didn't care to threaten the students. He however didn't want another explosion of ill feelings like last time.
