Celandine asked a bit planatively as she returned to her seat.
"I have the Granger translation in my trunk, Cela," he leaned across the aisle and ignored his step-brother for the moment. "I'll get it to you after class." With that, he turned and gave Plymouth a hard look.

"I suggest you not manhandle Miss Toussaint in class, Plymouth, or Ravenclaw won't thank you one bit." With that, he headed for the board, hoping that Tobi would smack Plymouth upside the head as he walked past. Imagine the nerve of rubbing on Cela during CLASS and then making snide comments in front of everyone. It was RUDE.

"Good! Please come up to the board and work with Copernicus to summarise your answer. One of you can bullet point the story itself and the other can bullet point what each aspect of the story teaches us either personally or as a community."

Truebridge posed another question, "Which character do you like best? Why? What can we learn from them? What did they learn? What do you think Beedle was trying to tell us by including them?

He stroked the cat gently and waited for Copernicus and Tobi to begin the notes on the board (ooc: take your time) and for everyone to share their answers to the next question.

ooc: Going out for a while... again, do not edit your posts, Prefects and staff members in disguise may merge posts if necessary. Be back in a few hours.
Copernicus paused at the board with chalk in hand. Tobi was older and definitely better at History of Magic, so it made sense to leave synthesis type stuff to the other boy. He himself would bullet point the story.

The Fountain of Fair Fortune
* Premise: Once a year, one person is allowed to enter the garden and make their way to the Fountain. If they bathe in the water, the unfortunate person is promised fair fortune for life.
* Characters: Asha (the sick witch), Altheda (the broke witch), Amata (the heartbroken witch), and Sir Luckless (the hapless Muggle knight)

Plot:
* The three witches decide to join forces to get to the Fountain.
* When the garden opens, a creeper vine grabs Asha, who drags along Altheda and Amata into the garden. Amata accidentally brings Sir Luckless with her.
* They face three challenges, and each witch contributes to overcoming one of the challenges.
* Asha defeats a giant blind white worm that demands the proof of their pain with her tears.
* Altheda assists her team in making it up an endlessly long hill by cheering them on and encouraging them to the point of sweating, which is accepted as the fruit of her labor.
* Amata overcomes a stream that is impossible to cross by dropping the memories of her lost love into the water, which are accepted as treasures of her past.
* They reach the fountain and must decide who will bathe.

Conclusion:
* Asha is exhausted to the point of near death, and she is only saved when Altheda quickly brews a potion. Once healed, she realizes she no longer needs the fountain.
* Altheda realizes she can sell this potion, and she no longer needs the fountain.
* Amata finds that when she dropped her good memories into the water, she could see how awful and beastly her former love truly was and didn't miss him anymore. She no longer needed the fountain.
* They let Sir Luckless bathe in the fountain.
* He offers his love to Amata, loving her for being so kind to him and letting him join this quest.
* They all leave happily, never realizing the Fountain has no real power.
