As I mentioned before, the lessons I was t taught here differed from those I was taught whilst I was at the American Academy. But history is history and you can't change how it happened, but you can change how you are taught it. For example, do you think wars here are taught with the same vigour overseas, where they don't directly affect those it's being taught to?" History of the world can be taught all over, but if it held no meaning, it wouldn't truly have an effect on people.

"Team Green will be the Durmstrang Institute. Team White will have Hogwarts. Team Purple is the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. Now, here is the event I want you to discuss. The Tri-wizard Tournament. It has been held between the three schools for sometime before it was stopped. When it was brought back, Hogwarts played home to it. Now thinking about each school and their views, how do you think each school felt about it taking place here?"[/COLOR]
Alice thought about the question. Well to be honest when it came to muggle wars even though the major ones like WWI and WWII weren't fought here, the Americans still had their own role to play, and were still involved, even if it wasn't on their own soil. Not to mention they were major focus points in just about every History class she ever had.

"I think it would be taught with just as much vigor, even if it didn't take place at the other schools it still involved them, you know?" Alice shared with her teammates.

Dianna said as she lowered her hand.
She faced her group mates. So..
"I guess Hogwarts and it's students felt glad because..because it is our school representing the home of the tournament.." she said. Just a suggestion..
Alice nodded at her thoughts. "I agree. I wonder if any of the other schools are angry that it's not being held at their school? Although Hogwarts should feel pretty excited that it's being held here again," Alice said with a smile.
