She quickly continued, "There are always famous people from our history both Muggle and Wizarding that can be considered real life superheroes because of the amazing feats that they accomplished during their times...these individuals were influential not only during their times but in the future of the world..." she said as she walked to the next poster hanging from the ceiling. "For instance, in the Muggle World, a real life superhero could be Isaac Newton. He was a nEnglish physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian. His law of universal gravitation and three laws of motion laid the groundwork for classical mechanics." she said as she wrote his name on the poster. "Or those men and women that fight for our various countries in the armed services and such could be considered real life superheroes..." she wrote this on the poster. "An example in the Wizarding World could be Albus Dumbledore..." she finished by writing his name on the poster.

"If everyone will grab a marker..." she said motioning to a little basket below the remaining two posters on the walls, "Please come up and give us an example of a real life Muggle Superhero and a Real Life Wizard Superhero and what they did they makes you feel like they are a hero and then add their names to the appropriate poster..." she said as she wrote Muggle in the middle of one poster and Wizard in the middle of another.
Who was their personal heroes? He was juuust about to raise his hand when he decided to pull it back and sit tight in his seat. His Uncle was his hero, for a man who probably wouldnt have lived past his teens the man had the strongest fighting spirit to live that this Ravencalw has ever known. Made his teenage angst look insignificant next to what his Uncle was going through to this day. But he also knew his Uncle relied on the fact that his health issues are not to be disclosed for fear of compromising his position. So the boy keeps quiet.

And now the Professor moves on to Muggle and Wizard Heroes. The Wizard part was easy enough for him, it was the Muggle part that he had to think about. He spotted the name of Abe Lincoln, the first name that crossed his mind, so he had to think of someone else...

Finally he stood and wrote these on the posters....

Wizarding Heroes:
Hermione Granger= because she didnt let anybody stop her desire for learning and for doing the right thing despite that she was constantly discriminated for being Muggleborn

Muggle Heroes:
Mother Teresa of Calcutta= because she selflessly served the most poverty and disease stricken of Muggles without expecting anything in return.
