As you enter the History of Magic classroom, you instantly hear music both muggle and wizard playing softly in the background. It is an upbeat set of songs.
The classroom is decorated with a huge Happy Birthday banner across the front of the room that is charmed to change from blue to yellow to red to green to alternating colors occasionally. Each time the color changes, the font of the words change as well.
Across the right side of the classroom is a long table divided into four sections. Each section has a table cloth with a crest of each house on it. So there is a blue tablecloth with the Ravenclaw crest, a red tablecloth with the Gryffindor crest, a green table with the Slytherin crest, and a yellow table with the Hufflepuff crest. Each table contains plates, silverware, cups, and napkins that match the color of the tablecloth. Also there is a punch bowl full of a drink in the same shades. In the center of each table is a cake decorated with the crest of the house.
The middle of the classroom is divided into four different sections. Each section holds tables covered in similar tablecloths. Above each set of tables, streamers of the house shade are hanging above the cluster of table. A charm as been set that makes fireworks of the house shade pop occasionally about each cluster. Every once and a while confetti in the house colors explodes overhead and flutters down to the tables only to disappear a few minutes later.
The professor has written a message on the board that is enchanted to scribble out in her handwritting and stay for a few minutes and then erase and start again:
Quote:
Welcome to History of Magic: Lesson One!
Please find your house colors and have a seat at one of the tables in that cluster. But don't get too comfy, because we may be moving around.
Professor Gemma Cerulean
The Professor can be found at the door shaking everyone's hands as they enter the door.
OOC: Please come in and have a seat. You may chat but keep it to a minimum. Remember that when class starts, you need to cut out chatting. Also don't post yourself coming in late, Gemma hates late arrivals and will not give you a warning, she will deduct points from the first time you are late.

11. List of Events Mentioned
Final Thought Question: Do you think History will repeat itself here at Hogwarts? Or has it repeated itself here at Hogwarts?
Evan listened to other's answers as he sliiightly lost his interest in the class. No offence to this new woman whose name he didn't even bother to learn, he wanted Professor Welton back. This new professor could try to make this class 'fun' as much as she could, but she wasn't as cool as Welton. And it seemed as if she could never be.
He lay his head on the desk and closed his eyes for a moment. He was tired, he had woken up way early than required and had practised for a while. Now he was slightly tired, and his arm seemed so soft to sleep on...
...until the professor talked. A lot. Beyond his ability to sleep. With annoyed expression, he opened his eyes and rose a little, raising his hand in the action. Listening to the other answers, he said "Salazar Slytherin were in dispute with Gryffindor over the blood-status of the students enrolled in Hogwarts." And with that, he lay his head back, eyes closed immediately.
Charlie racked her brain for information on Ravenclaw from Hogwart's A History. Finally, she raised her hand.
"Charlie Rimsworth, Ravenclaw," she said with pride, "Rowena Ravenclaw had a daughter named Helena who is now the.. eh..Grey Lady." Charlie said after a moments hesitation. "She is still a ghost in Hogwart's," she concluded.
"I'm Emmy Fallows from Ravenclaw, Professor." Emmy stood up and said, trying not to sound shy. "I believe Rowena Ravenclaw had a daughter who was killed by her sweetheart who then commited suicide; they're both ghosts here still." She rattled off this fact quickly and with out thinking much about it, and then realized how gruesome it was. Emmy mentally face-palmed herself and sat down quickly. Sigh...
'I am Gwendolyn Greene, from Ravenclaw...Um...Rowena Ravenclaw could be also considered a magical architect...she created the moving staircases of Hogwarts.', the girl replied.
Sitting proudly at the Slytherin table, he avoided the green punch al together. Whoever had drank it seemed to turn into a blithering idiot. He raised his hand.
"Benjamin trevors, pureblood Slytherin, Second year, ma'am. I know abit about all of the founders, really. But since I'm to speak something about the great Salazar Slytherin, I guesss that'll have to do. Saazar Slytherin was over 100 years old when he founded his house and when Godric Gryffindor wasn't looking, must have enchanted the famed sorting hat to disregard most students whom he had deemed unworthy of being in his prestigious house. That's why most purebloods are sorted into Slytherin."

What in the world? Muggle drinks? She couldn't like, bring TEA to class?
Having been silent for more of the time since she walked in, she leaned her head against the palm of her hand, and listened to most of the students answer her question. Except, well this one she wanted to answer since it was about her houses' founder. "Evelyn Flores, sixth year Slytherin." she started after raising her hand. "Salazar Slytherin was also a basilisk breeder. He kept it in a chamber in Hogwarts, also known as the Chamber of Secrets." That wasn't much of a rumor was it? In her opinion, she didn't think so.
Meh...Cool aid. Sounded like first aid. She had a theory everyone was going to need one after drinking that muggle drink. Yup.
Peyton's ears seemed to be feeling better. After Transfiguration class she felt as if ALL the professors were going to have speech problems, but not this one. She spoke clearly and very nice, indeed. History wasn't P's favorite subject but she didn't hate it either. Her daddy is ALWAYS talking about how past events impacted the future, blah, blah, blah. But, that could come in handy...like now.
The girl sat up straight and...
A cup?
There was a cup in front of her. K-Kool-aid? That sounded like a medicine, a cool medicine. P stared at the cup for a bit and decided that it would be safer to not drink it. What was a Kool-aid, anyway?
Her hand shot in the air at the professors question. SHE KNEW THIS ONE. "Peyton Baltazar, Slytherin," she smiled. "Salazar Slytherin had the ability to speak to snakes," as in ssss, ssss, ssssss. "The language being called parselmouth," she said. Her daddy had told her that AND even demonstrated her how it sounded because he was one and she wanted to be one, too. Ssss, ssss, ssss, ssss.

Alex wrinkled his nose at the drinks floating around. PINEAPPLE? Alex really wasn't a fan of pineapple, so he politely turned down the drink when it came his way. His raised his hand, knowing immediately what he was going to say. "Alex Greingoth, Hufflepuff," he said with a smile, introducing himself to the professor, "And Helga Hufflepuff had a real knack for food-related charms," he explained.

Cassie beamed when the professor said that all their answers were good. Yep she liked this woman. Her hand slowly went into the air."Cassie Storm Professor, umm Helga Hufflepuff was said to be really good with House-elves as well."
She took a cup of pine apple cool aid and sipped it. Hmm pine apple flavour wasn't all that bad at all.

Jai who was rather quiet since he arrived in the class, raised his hand and said,"Godric Gryffindor wanted the brave and courageous." he said, before picked up the red drink and sipped it tentatively.' That's not too bad.'he thought to himself, looking more closely at the drink.
"How delightful..." Eino said while he poured himself all of the different colored liquids into one cup and mixed them together. "Oh yeah!" It was delicious. Sip, sip, sip.
He raised his hand. "My name is Eino and I am a Ravenclaw!" he said enthusiastically pounding his chest to exhibit that pride a little too hard. "In addition to what Finn said, Ravenclaw's diadem was known to have powers such as to make whoever wore it smarter. Although, it is often referred to as the Lost Diadem because it was, well, lost, but really it was stolen by her daughter. So really it ought to be known as the Stolen Diadem... I suppose." And with that done, more kool aid. Sip, sip, sip.
Raising her hand the little blonde spoke, "Lexi Denver, Gryffindor house, it is said that Godric Gryffindor was an enlightened fighter against Muggle discrimination." Mhm. That's right. 'Bout all she could say given all the other info her housemates had given while she was zoned out.
"How delightful..." Eino said while he poured himself all of the different colored liquids into one cup and mixed them together. "Oh yeah!" It was delicious. Sip, sip, sip.

And with that done, more kool aid. Sip, sip, sip.
WUT. EINO WAS BACK And he was sitting at this very table. Was it really him? Or was it a clone? Oh glorious moment. Hugo waved at his buddy. He hadn't seen him for so long.
After taking a sip of his drink, Hugo raised his hand. "I'm Hugo ma'am, Hugo Doyle, and a proud Ravenclaw," he said. Although being a Gryffindor wouldn't hurt either."I believe Rowena Ravenclaw created the moving stairs," Hugo told the professor. Yes, awesome job Rowena. High five!
Following after Cassie, the boy raised his hand, "Treyen Lockhart," the Prefect part was obvious on his robes, no? No need to point it out like Finn had. "Hufflepuff," THAT was the one thing he thought was even more pointless to mention, since he was sitting with Hufflepuffs, no?
But, either way, "Helga Hufflepuff was one who treated everyone equally, same rights and obligations for everyone," because they were all the same, no? They were all Wizards. It seemed only fair they were all treated alike, because he wanted to try the Cherry Muggle stuff, but he was stuck with Pineapple. Tsk, tsk.
Daisy stuck her hand up in the air. Her brother had taught her a bit about Helga Hufflepuff
'Daisy Tucker, Hufflepuff. Helga Hufflepuff own a small golden cup which was made into a Horcrux by Voldemort and then destroyed. I think,' said Daisy, suprising herself that she knew so much history, even though it was the only thing she did know. Her mother had told her many stories when she was a young child

The professor glanced at the young lady wondering if the girl was really being demanding or just picking on the new professor. She didn't like demands and she wasn't sure if the young girl knew that it wasn't always what you said but how you said it that made a difference. She was just about to explain this to the young lady nicely when the girl made her next comment.
"Well, I'm happy you approve of the snacks and of the room so far..." she said sweetly but she did file this first impression in the back of her mind.
Nod.
She should be happy. Ellie's approval was EVERYTHING. Little Professor was quick to learn that. He was still in the 'bad book'.
....Not really.
................................
Once the lesson began, Ellie was content on just listening. For one, Lainey's lessons were EPIC. And Welton's were quite enjoyable, so she had no clue how this Professor could make it 'more fun than in the past' when the past was quite fun already. Bring it on.
As for answering the questions, the girl had a few issues as well. You had to say your house? But...clearly she was in Ravenclaw. Hence why she sat at the Ravenclaw table. Surely the Professor could see that? It wasn't her fault that the chalkboard couldn't. And frankly, she didn't like the idea of having all of her words recorded on the chalkboard. She didn't trust it.
Same went for the drink. Drinks shouldn't be blue. End of story.
So this will be a more observational class, apparently. Until the cake was served.

“You are correct. Just as another one of your classmates has said, her beautiful cup was used and destroyed as a Horcrux.” she said with a smile towards the girl.

Not fair, Cerulean.
The Professor smiled at the young man and was impressed to see another Prefect, “You are absolutely correct, she was known for being one of the most understanding and accepting of the four founders. She believed that everyone was equal. A trait that should be admired in someone especially during the time the founders were creating Hogwarts. Thanks for your answer.” she finished with a little smile.

Gemma smiled at the young man. “You are correct, I believe another Ravvie has pointed this amazing feat out already. Great answer!” she said sincerely.

The professor’s eyebrow cocked up at this answer, “Hello Ms. Denver, yes, you are completely correct and this is something that some people tend to overlook. Good answer!”

Gemma smiled at the girl, “Yes we are lucky to have the Grey Lady still in our presence to share stories of her mother.” she thinking that would be a great opportunity to have her visit...maybe next time.

This is not a dormitory for you sleep in.” she said with a little edge to her sweet voice.

Oh this was excellent, she thought. She raised her hand, "Wisteria Hartly, Gryffindor. It is believed that Godric Gryffindor was related to the Cornish Royal Family." She loved the middle ages anything about it fascinated her.
“Yes that is true...that does border on a rumor, but I’ll still allow it, because it is important.” she said giving the girl an approving look.

She watched as all of the crests from the other houses appeared too and she wrote down notes of the names in her notes even though she knew them by heart.
Just as she thought things couldn't be more amazing. Zara's eyes brightened as her eyes saw the board behind their professor. Colors of their houses began to light as she said the names. 'Alright! I love this class! Gee, and I thought History was boring before.' Her grin widened.
Then they were served drinks. 'Heheh, this was so awesome.' Zara completely loved this class. Now it was one of her favorites! She took the cup full of Cherry-flavoured Kool-aid and had a sip. YUMYUM!
Raising her hand, she said, "Profe--" Then she remembered that they had to say their name first and house for the points to be counted. Correcting herself, she said, "Danielle Zara Griffiths, Gryffindor." And watched as the board showed with the professor's handwriting, "Gryffindor" in the red portion of the board.
"Godric Gryffindor was the most accomplished dueler of his time."
“OOO good answer! Yes he was known as a very accomplished dueler who won lots of awards along the way!” she said with a little grin.

Back to the apple juice now!
Gemma smiled at the girl, “Yes Ms. Hopkins, you are completely correct.”

She was known for being very intelligent and wise like the sorting hat said, and errr..." Said Stella trying to remember another fact, "and she created the moving stairways in Hogwarts."

The professor imagine a picture she had once seen of the beautiful founder of her own house, “Yes that is correct Ms. Swan, she was known for her beauty both inside and out.”

“You are correct Ms. Schwarzberg. He did think highly of all purebloods.” she said keeping her voice calm and even.

“That was one of his goals. Yes...great job!” she said with a little nod.

Very very epic.
Gemma was in awe of the beautiful diadem, “ Yes and that is one of my most favorite artifacts from all of the founders. I just think the thought of something so beautiful is a wonderful idea.”

Was that what the professor wanted? Or would she prefer something more like that he spoke Parseltongue? Well she thought something that many others may not say would be a better response.
“You are correct Mr. Michaels. Thank you for your answer.” she said smiling at the young man.

The professor smiled at the young girl, “You are correct.”

He raised his hand without really thinking over an answer before he did. "Alex, Sly-" Wait, he should probably be formal with the professor. Staarting over. "Alexander Reed, Slytherin house." he corrected himself before carrying on. "Well the founder of Slytherin was Salazar Slytherin," as she had already mentioned... "And he was a parseltongue and he was very... Very strictonwhogotsortedintohishouse." he mumbled. He didn't really want to go in on that. Alex wasn't a huge fan of Salazar Slytherin and the stereotypes that went with him. Slytherin had changed after that.
“You are absolutely correct, Mr. Reed. He was a very talented Parseltongue. Probably one of the most legendary in all history.” she finished with an approving look.

"Um, Kurumi Hollingberry, Gryffindor," she repeated from earlier. "Godric Gryffindor is the origional owner of the sorting hat and is the one who figured out how to charm the hat to continue sorting students even long after he and the other Founders had passed away."
“That is something that some people often overlook when thinking about Godric. Great answer!” she said with a huge smile towards the girl that had already made a great impression.

Gemma checked to make sure the board was following along, “No that’s all the board needs to know to keep up with your answers, Mr. Simpson.” she said with a smile.

OOOOH. Amy knew this one. She really actually properly knew it. Feeling proper proud she hadn't shouted out the answer-
Trivia Time
TEACUP
Woops. I mean, uh, Voldemort she mumbled the word used one of her tea cups as a horcrux. As stated in the new edition of Hogwarts. A history. When she'd skimmed it, she nodded, blushing a rather unfetching shade of beetroot red still with her hand raised
Still. At least she knew something. Oh yeah. She kept forgetting her name, and I'm Amy Samson. Fourth year. Excedingly cool she nodded grinning, and uh, um. HOUSE. Puff. Yeah. I mean. Hufflepuff. Merlin she sounded like an idiot with a tied up tounge. Embarassing
Gemma glanced at the girl, “Yes her cup was used years ago as a horcrux.”
Gemma smiled at the students and then turned to make sure the board was keeping up with the houses and names. “Great job everyone! So far we have a pretty good list.” she said with a little nod up and down. “It looks like the board is keeping up great! I’ve charmed it to only list a reason once and the student that mentioned it first will be listed.” she said explaining why it wasn’t keeping everyone’s name on the board.
SPOILER!!: ”Lists on the board so far”
“Does anyone else have anything to add? Make sure you say your name and house so that the board knows where to record your answers...It can’t see where you are sitting so you are just helping with the charm.” she said hoping to explain the madness to the students.
She glanced at the cups and realized that the cups were halfway full at each table and with a flick of her wand she sent the bowls back around to refill. “If you would like to try a different flavor of kool-aid, feel free to ask your bowl when it comes to you and I know it will make sure you are taken care of.” she said with a smile in her sweet voice.
OOC: I'm going to give you about an hour for more people to answer and then we'll go on. Thanks everyone!

Hugo raised his hand again. "Hugo Doyle from Ravenclaw, I think she died young from a fatal illness," Hugo said. He knew he wasn't supposed to have two answers, but apparently someone had said it and the board hadn't written him down and he wanted to be on that there board!
What? They were supposed to tell their names? Didn't she already know them?! Professor Welton had known... Catching that edge, Evan rose in the seat and muttered a "Evan Cartwright, Slytherin," with the same edge she had. Yeah, still mourning over Welton... and he wasn't falling for this stupid act of 'oh see, sweets for right answers!' thing. He wasn't gonna touch that.
Resting his arm on the desk, palm up, he put his cheek on it in an angle that he hoped would cover him. And he was listening, really. The act of listening didn't require open-eyes.
This class was getting to be rather interesting. Chloe certainly was not gonna let herself be left out especially when she wanted to make things even more interesting. She raised her hand high and said, "I'm Chloe Morets, member of Gryffindor. I have read Godric Gyffindor got into a rather heated fight with Salazar Slytherin about who should be allowed to attend Hogwarts based on blood status. I personally believe Godric was right on that issue.", Chloe responded with a sly smile.
The Professor smiled at the young man and was impressed to see another Prefect, “You are absolutely correct, she was known for being one of the most understanding and accepting of the four founders. She believed that everyone was equal. A trait that should be admired in someone especially during the time the founders were creating Hogwarts. Thanks for your answer.” she finished with a little smile.

Treyen couldn't help but smile at her this time. How could he not, when she was agreeing with his answer? Yet, he was still slightly annoyed at the Pineapple thing.
Er, did he have more things to add? Actually, yes, he knew a lot about the founder of Hufflepuff, of course, but...then Cerulean had to say that they could have whichever flavor they wanted and his focus was lost.
He'll have Cherry now, please. Thanks, pretty bowl.
SPOILER!!: ”Replies to your answers can be found here...this will make this post a million miles shorter...but do look her and see what she said to you because she answered everyone!”
“OOO good answer! Yes he was known as a very accomplished dueler who won lots of awards along the way!” she said with a little grin.
Gemma smiled at the students and then turned to make sure the board was keeping up with the houses and names. “Great job everyone!

'Different flavors? OHH. Was there chocolate?' Zara wondered, as she finished the last sip of her drink. Or were the flavors only the ones Professor had mentioned earlier? She decided to try her luck, "Chocolate please?" she said to the bowl. Wonder what would happen..
Zara raised her hand, "Professor, is it okay it you change my name to Zara instead?" She smiled, hoping it was okay. She preferred Zara to Danielle.
Did you just lose something? The GAME? Sorry... 'Justin Bieber, he is the man!' U mad, Felton!?

'Ooh, yay! Apple flavour, please, bowl!' Rose grinned as she said this as she had never imagined that she would be talking to a bowl! Not that she minded of course, she was just curious how it worked! 'Then again how does all magic work' she said quitely to herself. This had to be the best class ever! Rose decided. Not only did she love the lesson but the teacher was really nice too! She didn't seem the type of person who would shout at you if you got something wrong like Professor Lafay!

And he was sitting at this very table. Was it really him? Or was it a clone? Oh glorious moment. Hugo waved at his buddy. He hadn't seen him for so long.
