Pretty much all hope for him paying much attention in a class that already had so little of it was quickly going out the window now, and Henry gave Char a wide smile as she joined them next. Maybe he really should give some serious thought about a Quick Quotes Quill taking notes for him.

"Hi, Char!" He glanced down at his chocolate frog that he hadn't quite completely opened yet and slid it over to her. "There's some up on Professor Newton's desk, but you can have mine if you want." He could go get some more to share with the whole table.

"Oh, you're sweet. Thanks Henry." She laughed lightly and looked up at the professor's desk. She totally hadn't noticed, she'd just seen her friends and came over all eager to get to sit with them.

Heading back towards the blackboard, she glanced around the room at all the students. "Before I start the lesson, I have something to say. I noticed that a few of you entered the classroom and made a beeline towards a place to sit without so much as acknowledging my presence. That is not something that I like seeing and expect not to in the future." Was that something that they all understood? All that she was asking for was some courtesy. If this happened again in the future she WOULD be a lot more severe about it.

Anyway with that addressed it was time for them to start the lesson.

"As the Christmas holidays are fast approaching I have decided that this lesson will not be too heavy historical content." They would be expected to pay attention, however, and take notes of anything that was important. Just because they were having a lighter lesson did not mean that there was going to be no work to complete. 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.

OOC: Class has officially started! Please note that anyone who posts entering the classroom after this point WILL receive IC consequences. To avoid that, it is best to pretend that you have been here all along. Lesson will continue in roughly 24 hours.

"Oh!" Charlotte blushed a little. "I'm sorry, professor. I didn't see you." Selective attention span okay? She truly hadn't meant it, and at least she hadn't taken chocolate without saying hi, right?

But now it was time to answer a question. Oh she knew BOTT because family. And Perpetua Fancourt because astronomy was a bit of a thing in her family.

She stuck her hand up. "Perpetua Fancourt created a device that you can use instead of moon charts for when you are studying lunar phases and stuff!"
