Heheh! Another trick question.
"Beedle the Bard didn't give him a name, Professor," she said grinning. He didn't ask for the name, just if he had one. Elise was good at following instructions. You only asked if he had one, Professor! she cocked her head to one side. Professor Scabior was strange...
"Exactly. Take your steps." Scabior nodded. Quote:

"His name is Antioch Peverell, known as the eldest Peverell brother and also known for being a combative man." That was good right... because he thought real hard about it. "No he didn't" Scabior shook his head. "That was his assumed name. It was never proven. You can join the others at the side." Scabior nudged his eyes to the three girls over at the side. Quote:

"I specifically said that we were focusing on the eldest brother. You can join the others too the side as well." CLEARLY he was getting picky. Quote:

Name of the eldest brother? That was the follow-up question. "Their were three brothers" obviously as he already said earlier. Jonathan manage to spot his stupid remark and went on with the correct answer "The eldest of the three is Antioch Peverell... the man with great arrogance and greed" Jonathan smirked at that last comment. Well, he did ask for a powerful wand from death, which showed that side of him. "No. People believe that Antioch is the eldest brother. But it has not been proven. Just saying he is means you are wrong." Scabior nudged his head over to where the people who got kicked out were. "You can join those guys." Quote:

He knew an answer...something that his classmates werent touching on so he did instead.
"That would depend...for in the actual tale he is simply known as the first or eldest brother," he answered but he wasn't finished. "Beedle didn't name him though over the years people have linked him to Antioch Peverall and his brothers as the other two." "Exactly. People link the eldest brother to Antioch Peverall." A nod. "Take your three steps." Quote:

Her hand shot up. "He isn't given a name in the tale itself, Professor," she said, "but many believe that he is a reference to Antioch Peverell, so that is generally accepted as the name of the eldest brother." He paused. Talking the information in. Yes. It had a SMALL bit of difference."It is generally expects. Why? I don't know. But yes you can take your steps." Quote:

"Join the others at the side. Pay attention. Quote:

No it was Kurumi. *shug* About the same thing right? He listened quietly and then nodded, thinking hard about what she said to him. "Professor the oldest brother was never given a name by our narrator the Bard and it can be assumed he was a greedy older brother who chose to cross the bridge first and jump at the idea of being given gifts by death." he paused and then added something else. "He was anything but timid, is what I am saying."
Hopefully that was a good answer. Hm. Well, his explanation of the older brother had been extremely different."Take your three steps." He said hesitantly. Quote:

So she decided that she's better think more carefully about the answer to the next question before answering. She took another three large steps and when the Professor asked his next question, she thought hard before raising her hand and answering it. "Professor, yes this brother had a name just like his other brothers. I believe that his first name was Antioch and his last name was Peverell. I guess since he was the eldest his first name started with the first letter of the alphabet." "That's a good guess but it's not true at all. There is no proof to what the brothers real name was." He shrugged. Bye? "You can join the others at the side. Pay attention." Quote:

The answers though, made her cringe. Eldest? What was with all this 'eldest' stuff? "He was referred to as the oldest brother." she muttered. She never read any 'eldest' words in the story before. "But outside of the story, people like to relate stories to real life and whilst he was not given a name in the story itself, the oldest brother is still stuck with being called Antioch." "Riggghttt." Clearly she was correcting his mistake. "The name was stuck with him, although it was never proven to be true. Take your steps." Quote:

"Well, if he is a person, then he must have a name too... there should be something with which one is referred to. But then some say that he was called Antioch, but all that is just speculation. So, its better to stick with the original..." She hoped this answer wouldn't take her out of the game. "Of course. He must have had a name. But it has never been proven. Take your steps." Quote:

Well, pin a rose on your nose, Scabs. She still thought the hooded figure was a Slytherin. No Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff could ever pull that threat off. Anyway... At the sound of another question, she raised her hand.
"Well, most people do have a name. I've never met a person who didn't," she began, "but the author doesn't come right out and tell us the name of the eldest brother. He's just referred to as 'the older brother." Hmm... "Oh, and 'a combative man'." They'd said that, too. "...but even though he isn't given a name in the story, people connect the eldest brother to a real man by the name of Antioch Peverell. No one knows for sure whether or not he was really Antioch, though."
Everything Sierra said he had heard from the class already...except for the added description of the man. His eyes narrowed as he thought. "Alright..take your steps." Quote:
Originally Posted by BanaBatGirl Aha! Three more giant steps for Tori! WINNING! The redhead smirk smirk smirked to herself and took three huge steps forward, stretching her legs out as far as they would go. With that accomplished, she straightened up and answered the latest question.
"Yes," she answered smartly, "because he is a man and men are given a name when they are born, we can ASSUME that he has a name. HOWEVER, in his tale, Beedle never specifically called him anything other than the eldest brother, really, so all this speculation about the Peverell Brothers and their Deathly Hallows is rather.... pop fiction." The answer would have been good, if she didn't go on about the Peverell Brothers. "I specifically said we were only talking about the oldest brother." He nodded to the out group. "Go take your spot with them." -------- More than half that class had been put out of the game now, and the students that were still in the game were basically in the middle of the room. Did more people have to go? YUP. "Alright, the brothers assumed name was Antioch Peverell, but no one knows this for a fact." He started loudly so that everyone could hear. "The oldest brother-assumed to be Antioch asked what Beedle tells us to be Death, for the ultimate wand. The most powerful wand that would make him unbeatable. Death agreed and created a wand out of a nearby elder tree. Now the oldest brother was a really arrogant man. And after getting a unbeatable wand he just got worse. Antioch soon met up with death again, after he was killed. Why was he killed?"
