Text Cut: Professor's Final Words in Lesson

Zara, unable to mention anything at the last question because a lot of other students wanted to answer, wrote down notes instead. Noticing she had no more space for the back page of her first one, she took out a second parchment. Zara smiled at the professor, then homework was announced. Again, she quickly made notes.

Text Cut: Zara's Parchment; Back Page

Salazar Slytherin
~ spoke Parseltongue
~ selected students according to cunning, ambition, and blood purity
~ accomplished Legilimens
~ over a hundred years old when he helped in founding Hogwarts
~ raised a basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets w/c he built in Hogwarts
~ owned a locked emblazoned with the Letter S w/c was passed down to his descendants
~ had gaunt, long grey beard with pale grey eyes
~ had a clumsily-made gold ring with the Peverell coat of arms in the black stone

House Traits
Ravenclaw ~ cleverness; problem-solvers; book smart; creativity; wit; logic; level-headed; open-minded; intelligence; knowledge; wisdom; resourcefulness
Gryffindor ~ bravery; courage; chivalry; balance/peaceful; loyalty; friendly; recklessness; determination; daring; nerve; non-judgemental
Hufflepuff ~ caring; brave; willing to admit mistakes; kindness; patience; non-judgemental; loyalty; hard work; not vain; being just; friendly
Slytherin ~ cunning; ambition; pride; shrewd; resourcefulness; achievement-oriented; self-preservation; not always rule followers, “sometimes rules can limit how far a person can exceed with their expectations”; strong leaders

***Some very important lessons learned; History of Hogwarts isn’t just the history of the houses but a history of all of us (UNITY); and cake is yummy; Kool-aid too
***Must learn in the future how to make holographic stuff (they’re awesome)

Reason Why Hogwarts Was Named Hogwarts
My reason: Because 1100 years ago, wizards and witches treated hogs as something sacred, important, or thought highly of them. So they’re important to people, specifically magical people. Warts because before, Muggles often depicted witches with warts on their face, the trademark they thought a witch had besides a broom and the pointy hat. Combined these two important wizard symbols together=Hogwarts.
***However, we can only assume what they meant by the motto; no reason has been found.

Reason Behind Hogwarts’ Motto (Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus)
***translates to ‘Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon’ or ‘Always Let a Sleeping Dragon Lie’
My reason: To tickle a sleeping dragon is to provoke danger; Hogwarts doesn’t want to invite danger in its safe castle walls; OR Hogwarts might be the dragon and it’s a warning not to mess with Hogwarts or else something bad would really happen; OR (silly idea) there’s a dragon in Hogwarts, sleeping for thousands of years and no one must disturb it if they don’t want trouble, it might be the end of Hogwarts once the dragon wakes up.

Looking at her notes, Zara realized she's overdone it again. Gifted with the power--well not really gifted--of writing fast, she's been expert at taking down notes. Besides, there was loads of time to write as she listened to a lot of students recite.

Holy, crud. Free cakes?! Zara could hardly believe her ears. She blinked, honestly, free cakes? Alright! Zara began to put back all her quill, textbook, parchments, her pink ink, and went ahead to the vanilla cake. She grabbed a slice, and went on over to the chocolate. She looked at the professor, "Gee, thanks for the food, professor! You're the best." She grinned.

Zara writes fast, very fast. {TwistedHearts. ♥ \|\| GRYFFINDOR \| \| Zara, Zeke, Regina, Icarus. ♥ \|\| Yssa.} Text Cut: Professor's Final Words in Lesson Quote: Originally Posted by Lezleighd Gemma smiled at the students and started combining the list together of some of the events mentioned. She added a few extras to the list. She glanced at the list with a smile hoping that she hadn't forgotten anything. "That's just a synopsis of the list of events over the 1100 years here at Hogwarts. Do some of you notice that history has repeated itself a couple of times? Notice that many of the events required the houses to come together to make the outcome successful." she said feeling like she was going in circles but knowing that she had to do a finalized statement about everything. "I want you to keep in mind everything we've discussed today as you go about your days at Hogwarts. Remember that we all need each other and each house needs other to insure the successful future of Hogwarts." She smiled at the students and then flicked her wand. Instantly the homework assignment appeared on the board. She smiled and announced, "Okay everyone that is all for today's lesson. Make sure you take down the homework and get it to me by the deadline. Also, please feel free to take pieces of cake with you." she said motioning to the cakes still not finished on the tables. "I hope to see you all at our next lesson....it's sure to be an adventure." she promised with a wink at the students. OOC: I'm going to leave the thread open until tomorrow morning to give everyone time to catch up and finish up their rps. Thanks everyone!
