She was lost in these thoughts when the first student arrived to class.

”Well, hello, Zhenya!” she greeted the Slytherin with a bright smile. ”I’m doing quite well, thank you. I hope you can say the same.” She noted the girl’s glance towards the covered table but she wasn’t going to give anything away just yet. Instead, she just smiled at her as she went to find her seat then turned her o the door to watch for the next student to enter.

”Hello, everyone!” Nessa brightly greeted the class as she walked towards the center of the room to address everyone. That was their cue that class was beginning and that they should end their personal conversations now. It was time for some fun learning! ”Today we are going to do something a little different. I know we are all accustomed to putting ourselves into history so to speak for class to better understand the events and, while we will still do that in a sense, today’s lesson will be much broader.” In fact, it would encompass much of the term! And she was sure that it would disappoint a few that there would be neither dressing up nor playacting today, but it would still be plenty creative!

”I’m sure many of you are wondering what is under the cloth on the table today, and we will get to that in just a little bit. As a hint, they are things that will help immerse ourselves into history, using your own unique and creative perspective. But for now, let’s talk about history in its most general sense." She started to walk around the room a little as she looked at each of them. "What is history? What does history mean to you? And what are ways that history is conveyed to other people? Let's start a discussion.."

"That's good, Professor," she said in reply. "I'm going well too," she said with a smile. Though study was tedious and stressful, she was doing well.

Ooh different! Zhenya liked things being changed. She still wondered what was on the table. But they wouldn't be finding out for a little while, so she would have to do a bit more waiting. So they were starting generally. That was good, general, then work it down to something more specific. Zhenya had a think about what she was asking them. What did History mean to her? Well... that was a hard question, history was just history. Now she had a big think about what history meant specifically to her. Hmm... She raised her hand, "Professor history is a lot of the past, remembering what has happened in the past. Whether it's remembering the facts of what happened, giving credit to those who deserve it, for example a witch who invented a spell or something. It's also important to remember what happened in the past, either to remember people and their sacrifices, or to remember the horrors so it doesn't happen again, like the first and second Wizarding War."
