Meh.

While the other students spoke one by one, the Gryffindor boy finally stopped laughing and started to look at his classmates instead wondering where his friends were. Aha! His dark eyes spotted Simon sitting there. He seemed to be focused on the class like the others. Ha. Someone had to change that. So opening his little notebook he ripped a little piece of paper from it, rolled it to make sure that it would find its target and threw it at the Quidditch Captain.

Hehe.



As the professor spoke to him the boy tried to stop laughing in order to pay attention to what he was saying and when finally he managed to keep a half serious face the Gryffindor stood up and took a deep breath to answer the question.

''Well... professor'' he began ''Everybody knows they practice dark magic as my classmates mentioned before. And dark magic or anything dark is for cowards. Because being occupied with dark stuff is a way to keep themselves away from the things they considered threatening for them. And this is something that cowards would do instead of facing them.'' Was this enough? He did not know. However he grinned at the Headmaster when he finished his words and sat back.



Hahahaha.

This class was Josh's favourite so far. He did not know why but it did not matter. There was no need for finding a reason because the Gryffindor was enjoying it and that was what he thought important. But gradually he was getting bored of the long speeches of other students so he was about to focus his attention on something else to busy himself like finding where Evelyn was when he heard someone adressing to him.

Looking at that way the boy grinned again the moment he spotted Salander speaking to him. ''Oh really?'' then he asked cheerfully ''I don't know what Severus Snape messed with but if he had been famous with his courage like you say it would be a common knowledge that he was a Gryffindor''

"You've failed to carry your point in an attempt to be clever, and have instead only talked yourself in a circle. You'll have a chance to redeem yourself in your homework, hopefully."


"Truer words were never spoken. I appreciate all the opinions shared today, and I admire how you mostly managed to respectful in the face of a topic that is highly charged and emotional. Let's continue with the lesson now and leave this debate behind."

He moved back to his desk and seated himself on the lip, giving them all a long and thoughtful look. "We'll do a case study, familiarize ourselves with a specific group of Dark Wizards and look at how they came to be what they are. What can you tell me about Salazar Slytherin?"
