Erik pointed his wand at the board and more notes popped up in tidy cursive. "History can be studied by reading about key events, witnessing historical events yourself, and researching historical events vhrough a combination of efforts." So far, it seemed the students had had a combination course in history, which was more than Erik had expected but which was good anyway.
"Today ve are going to discuss a sombre subject, but an important one I feel, as history is all around us and impacts us continuously." He adjusted his cuffs and continued. "How many of you know someone who has died?" Vinteren waited for a silent show of hands. "And how many of you personally know or know ov someone who has died at Hogwarts? Name someone of historical significance whom you think died at vhis school, and if you can tell us, how, vhen, and vhere they died."
ooc: one death per person please, and try not to repeat.
The Professor wanted them to behave like historians...Hmph. How very interesting. Not very challenging, though...as he was simply asking about people who had died at the school...
...And he got that stuff from before. Kinda like with Ancient Runes, yea? One had to master Runes from historical study...because the runes themselves were so old and dated. Sure, they learned about them...but not on a mastery level.
The Slytherin made a mental note to speak with Professor Botros about it.
As for an answer to the present question...
"Bellatrix LeStrange, Professor...I think that was the right pronounciation. She was the Dark Lord's right hand..." That's what he'd read, anyway.
