"Precisely, Miss Newell," McCormack gave the young, sullen-looking girl a slightly-crooked grin. "Each of these artifacts are indeed amulets, infused with magic to protect the possessor from harm." He gave an approving nod to the Slytherin, then looked up at the rest of the class. They were still listening, yeah?

"Now, several of you mentioned specific symbols found on these amulets and that will become useful a little later. But for now, I'd like to discuss just the amulets, specifically those that originate in Egypt. What do you know about Egyptian amulets or even amulets in general?" Or what can you find out to share and discuss? Crack a book kids, hopefully you brought it today.


Yeah, well, Sophie KNEW she was awesome, but it was always nice to hear it time and time again. She flashed the professor a grin then quietly listened to what else he had to say.

...and she had just shared what she knew about amulets, but maybe she could come up with something new. "How about," she said, raising her hand, "the fact that the Egyptians also stuffed them in with mummies? They thought it'd give them luck in the afterlife."

He crossed his arms again, noting how tired and weak the kids looked today, it made him feel nervous and wrong and uneasy but there was nothing he could do right now but to be the professor.

He caught Mr. Mordaunt eye after the boy gave what Botros considered a great answer. He smiled at him encouragingly even, but didn't comment on anyone's answers yet. McCormack still had things to share with them.


Sophie raised her eyebrows at that admirable look. Was this guy really Botros? She wondered briefly if he had a younger brother who'd randomly joined them today...
