In-class assignments were the worst; Max much preferred the opportunity to go work in a quiet, solitary place and work at his own pace. Ah, well - he was glad he brought multiple-subject textbooks with him this class; he knew he was going to need it. The first option of the assignment didn't appeal to him at all, so the second one was the way to go. Of course, he knew of many potential heroes, but... what about those obscure, weird letters? Like... Q, X, and Z? He couldn't think of any people with names starting with those letters off the top of his head.

Pulling out multiple sheets of parchment and a self-inking quill, Max labeled the sheet straight down in alphabetical order. He filled out a few obvious names and found that, as he kept going, the Wizarding people were quite easy to list off; when he reached thirteen random wizarding people he thought were heroes, he moved onto the Muggles, which was undoubtedly much harder, especially since he only had thirteen letters left to use. After countless long minutes of digging through his textbook and using the index to find suitable people to list, Max completed his last letter.

Next, Max decided he would take a shot at making some kind of cover since he seemed to have finished up before most others. He very lightly and carelessly doodled a border of sorts around the corners of a blank sheet of parchment as he began to brainstorm a title. He wasn't the most creative with titles; he felt restricted when he had to shorten big ideas, and he would rather write a few paragraphs than have to come up with a 'creative,' short title. He came up with something that was very to-the-point, sprawled it in big letters, then scribbled his name at the bottom. To add decoration, he used a quick image-copying spell he had recently read about to copy images from his textbooks and place them carefully on his parchment.

...Well. The images hadn't copied and pasted themselves as neatly as he would have liked, but it was good enough. Probably. Cerulean seemed to be quite lenient and appreciative of everyone's attempts at creativity. But... just in case the images were sloppier than he thought they were, he explained who the people were on the flip side of the parchment.
