Apologies students but there was nothing out of the ordinary for today’s lesson and the classroom stood as it usually did, rows of desks and chairs facing the front where a large blackboard stood behind Professor Fergersnout’s own desk.

There is however a large cloth concealing something (or rather somethings) on the spare table by the door and each desk also holds a pot full of markers and gel pens instead of the rudimentary quill and ink well. It wouldn’t be a History of Magic lesson without a little creative activity.

“Come, come and find a seat” the smiling Professor Fergersnout greeted each student as she stood by the front door ready to close it when the clock struck 11am.
