Grayson strode into the classroom, ready to teach. So far, this class had seemed uneventful, however, he had some things in mind for today's class. He wondered about the students' resonses as he wrote the topic for the day on the chalkboard.


Professor Powell
The Deathly Hallows


"Today we're going to talk about the Deathly Hallows. For those from Wizarding failies, you may have heard of them before, usually as a bedtime story. However, it would do to inform your classmates of the topic, since they may not know.

"The Deathly Hallows are three highly powerful magical objects supposedly created by Death and given to each of three brothers in the Peverell family. They consisted of the Elder Wand, an immensely powerful wand that was considered undefeatable; the Resurrection Stone, a stone which could summon the spirits of the dead, and the Cloak of Invisibility, which, as its name suggests, renders the user completely invisible. According to the story, both Antioch Peverell (owner of the Wand) and Cadmus Peverell (owner of the Stone) came to bad ends. However, Ignotus Peverell's wisdom in requesting the Cloak was rewarded.

"According to legend, he who possesses these three artefacts would become the Master of Death. The story of the Deathly Hallows was originally told by Beedle the Bard and subsequently passed from family to family as a wizard fairytale. Few wizards ever realized that the Deathly Hallows were genuine items. Most people thought that there were things that Beedle had made up to entertain young wizards and witches.

"No one but Harry Potter has been known to have been in command of all three at the same time, though he was never in possession of them all at once. Albus Dumbledore had possessed all three, but not all at once, similar to Harry, but he was never the true owner of the Cloak. The Cloak was handed down to Harry Potter from his father through Albus Dumbledore, and the Stone was left to him in Dumbledore's will, hidden inside a Golden Snitch. Harry Potter gained the allegiance, but not physical possession, of the Elder Wand upon overpowering Draco Malfoy at Malfoy Manor. Although Draco had mastery of the Elder wand for a time, having gained its allegiance upon disarming Dumbledore before his death, he never knew of it. Potter never made use of more than two Hallows at once because he never had more than two at once.

"Now, here's the question for each of you. I know it's tempting for anyone, but out of the three, which one Hallow would you posess, and why?"

I had a dream so big and loud
I jumped so high I touched the clouds
I stretched my hands out to the sky
We danced with monsters through the night

Grayson stopped reading his book as more and more of the students for the class walked in. He looked over each of them, wondering not for the first time if any of them would be interested in what he'd teach. He remembered Binns and the way he put most students to sleep, and decided that he would at least try to not put any of the students to sleep. He took his feet off the desk and stood, hoping that by doing so, he would at least give off a presence instead of looking bored.

"Hello class, and welcome back to History of Magic. I know that perhaps most of you don't remember much from the last year, so I figured that for this first class, we would review what you learned last year, just to brush up before we jump headlong into this year's curriculum." He looked about, making sure that everyone was paying attention, before continuing. "Can anyone here tell me precisely what you have learned last year? You don't have to give me the full information, as I would prefer to see if everyone payed attention in class. One subject per student, if you would."

Minnie enjoyed history. She always found the professor seemed kind and the information was generally interesting. She took a seat near the front and when it came to participation Minnie raised her hand and said brightly, "We discussed the statute of secrecy last year and its importance."

Location : History - Thursday @ 1:00pm

History was not Emma’s forte in fact she sucked at remembering any of it. Well maybe not all history, most of it however didn’t come to mind right away. Sadly she had to try in the class even if she couldn’t recall everything. Then again she was still learning, before she was seven she didn’t even know magic existed. Not to mention, she never started learning fully about it until just the previous year. Waking into class she found a seat next to Hannah before class got started.

Taking out her things Emma was relieved they were only doing review. Although she really couldn’t remember a whole lot about last year’s history class. Maybe someone would say something that would trigger her memory. Sure enough as she listened to Hannah, Minnie, and Mordred she actually came up with something. “Salazar believed only pure blooded wizards should be accepted to Hogwarts, unlike the other founders.” She added. “That’s why he made the Chamber of Secrets.” Emma didn’t need to be remained about what hidden inside of the chamber but she figured someone else could mention that.

Kai walked into History of Magic, an eyebrow raised as he noticed the white-haired boy walking out of the class almost as soon as he walked in. He took a seat next to Emma and Hannah, listening as they went over topics from last year.
