OOC: From this point forward, just pretend your RP character was here the whole time. Thank you!

"Alright, let's get started," Nolan said, hopping off the desk and giving his wand a flick so that the diaries started floating off to their respective owners. "Take a look at the diaries you've completed over the course of the year and choose your favorite dream. Even if it's not your favorite, it should have plenty of material for you to analyze," he explained.

"I want you to write an essay, 3-5 paragraphs consisting of 5-7 sentences each, about this dream. I have symbol lists for all of you to use, and be sure that you analyze at least FIVE symbols or themes in your dreams," Nolan added.

He then took a deep breath and bit his lip. "Also, I want to take this opportunity to let you all know that due to personal reasons, I will not be returning to Hogwarts next term to teach. I have enjoyed teaching all of you these past two years, and I'm sure that whoever takes up this position next term will be delighted to have such great students to work with," he added with a smile.

"I'll stay up here in the front to assist you with any questions. You have two hours starting now," he explained.


OOC: You have plenty of time to finish your essay...just RP your character writing it out, and then PM the actual essay to ME by November 22nd, at 7 PM EST. DO NOT post your essay in HERE. Also, please be sure to quote the dream that you selected.


If you did NOT complete the dream diary portion of this assignment, you need to write one dream using the guidelines found in this post to use in your interpretation. Please include the dream in your PM as well and you'll get partial credit for the dream diary :]
