"As many of you know I am Professor Scabior and as you all should know this is History of Magic." Alright first years? Was that base covered? Excellent.
"Now a very important thing to note about History of Magic is that its a subject that continuously grows. Things that happened yesterday within the Wizarding community, are considered events in magical history." They could write this down if they wanted to, but they didn't need to. It was just something to keep in mind. History of Magic wasn't just about events that happened one thousand years ago. "With that being said, after hearing about that little bump you lot went through during your ride to Hogwarts this term, I thought it would be interesting to look at that one thing that caused that bump-" He jabbed his thumb behind him to his moving train then to all of theirs. "-the Hogwarts Express."
"So give me some historic facts about the Hogwarts Express."
OOC: Class has officially started (i'll edit in whoever i've missed in this post)! Please no posts announcing late arrivals, as that will result in lost of points. If you want to join in, I encourage you to! Just act as though your character was there all along. You can also discuss answers amongst yourself if you want. The lesson will continue in approximately 10 hours.

"The Express was originally built by muggles in Crewe in 1936. Sometime in the late 1930's Minister Ottaline Gambol bought the Express as a solution to the problem of getting kids to the school without muggle's knowing."
