If that was the case, she might as well cancel lessons all together and there was no way that was about to happen.

Four images of enlarged Chocolate frog cards were added to the board. "Here are four famous historical figures. I would like to start off by having everyone list ONE fact about any of them even if it is something as small as the year that they were born in. No more than one figure per person please." It was just good to get some idea of how well they knew some of the great minds from Wizarding history. All four people had something in common and that was going to be the focus of today's lesson.

Genny perked up at the professor saying they weren't going to have an intense historical lesson today. The third year sat up straight and gazed at the four enlarged pictures of those famous people. She's seen them all because hey, she was an avid chocolate frog eater but she did not know anything about them that would be said in a classroom.

... except for the Bott guy maybe. That was because her dad knew a few Botts. And her brother. Genny raised her arm, "Bertie Bott came up with the candy by accident. The Bott family remains wealthy and famous till this day, too." That was definitely an important fact.
