Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll History of Magic was not one of Fiyero's favorite subjects. He had nothing against Professor Finch, of course; it was just that trying to memorize so many names and dates made his brain hurt! Today he was even more distracted than ever, with so many students in the castle acting odd. First there was that guy in the boys' dorms, then the girl smashing a toilet, then that other girl in Professor Myers's office asking for thorns. Now as he entered the classroom, there was yet another student behaving strangely, this time a girl asking for eggs. What was going on?!
He wracked his brains, trying to figure out what was making them act that way. Was it a powerful Confusion Charm? Maybe they'd had their memories modified, or maybe... His heart dropped as he considered a much more disturbing possibility. What if whatever was wrong with them was caused by dark magic... like the Imperius Curse or (Merlin forbid!) something even worse? He sighed. Now he felt horrible for hexing that kid in the dorm... though to be fair, he hadn't known he could be cursed at the time. He thought he was just going through everyone's stuff to be a jerk...
Fiyero absentmindedly made his way to his assigned seat. It was only after he'd taken his book, quill, and parchment out of his bag that he noticed he'd been so caught up in trying to riddle out what happened to his classmates that he'd walked right by Professor Finch without a word. "Oh!" he exclaimed, looking up. "Hello, Professor Finch." He hoped the teacher would forgive the late greeting. He didn't mean to be rude; he was just worried about the others!
