| | |  History of Magic Lesson 2
Ethan wandered into the classroom a good ten minutes before the lesson was due to start. He was humming and carrying the rather large gramophone from his office, various records stacked on top. Zan set up the gramophone and took a few moments to choose a record to play.
After a moment he selected the soundtrack to one of his favourite musicals and charmed the gramophone to wind itself so it would play. Humming along, Ethan walked around the classroom, nudging the desks with his booted feet so that they were all crooked. He stopped at his old desk and stroked it once, thinking about the inscription carved on the underside and the fact that the pattern of the wood on this particular desk looked kind of like an antipodean opal eye if you squinted at it in the right light.
Professor Truebridge wandered back to his own desk and slowly lowered himself into it, kicking his feet up and crossing them on the desk as he surveyed the empty clasroom to be sure everything was how he liked it. Humming to himself absently, Ethan flicked his wand at the door to unlock it and slid his sungglasses on, patiently waiting for the students to trickle in. | |

"Gooooood Morning and hello to all of you; we will start in a few moments." Ethan sang the words in time with the song from the Cats musical that was playing on the gramophone and tapped his foot on the desk in time with the music.

She couldn't imagine fitting anything else into her bag. She had no idea why she was going to this class, she didn't want to be anywhere near this professor, but she needed the points. She was more upset with Slytherin's standing than she was sitting in class with that man. She walked in not bothering to say anything to him and glanced around for someone she knew. She walked around the crocked desks. She waved and smiled at Camira, but she spotted Kayla she headed in that direction. Quote:

Kayla spotted Maddox and went and sat down beside him. She walked over and took the seat next to Kayla. "Hey," She said to her softly with a smile. She smiled at the boy she was sitting next to not having a clue who he was.

Camira and Lima were friends?! He flared his nose, and his face turned red, but he wasnt going to do anything about this now. They were in class, and he was not about to lose points. When Camira turned and looked at him, he gave her the, 'We need to talk look.' Then looked away from her. Quote:

Class was about to start and he wouldnt have to deal with drama till afterwards. Maybe he would be calm by then.

"Oh yeah," Jake nodded. "Ruby, weren't it?" WHERE was this accent coming from? Jake quickly smacked himself up the side of the head to knock some sense into there. "But ya know, we shouldn't chat..." he trailed off, waiting for the last to arrive and the class to start.

Elizabeth walked into the History of Magic classroom, and got a big grin on her face when she heard the music Professor Truebridge was playing. "Hi Professor Truebridge," she said as she made her way to one of the seats that was still open. "I like the music," she said, still grinning. She wondered what he would say if he found out her cat's name. Or her kneazle's name for CoMC.
As she sat down, she reached into her school bag to pull out her copy of Hgwarts: a History. She was determined to look like she could at least try to take class seriously, even though she was still entertained by the music.

Abby makes her way to class. She marvoles at how relaxed Professor Trubridge is . He's definitely not your average teacher. "Good morning professor," Abby smiles as she finds herself a desk. | |

As she entered, Daphne Hopton find it inexplicably hard to think and walk at the same time. Her thoughts disturbed by music, she glanced sideways with a frown at the authority figure, wearing dark shades inside the classroom. As--to be expected.
Turning her back to the Professor to make a face, Daphne took a seat next to Celandine.

Lima turned in the direction that Cam was looking and noticed that Mads was looking like he was mad. Pfft, what did it matter to him where she sat? She shook her head at him and turned her attention back to the front. She was relieved when the Professor said that class would be beginning soon.

"So I suppose I should teach you all... stuff." Ethan addressed the class. "Would anyone like to begin by telling me first, if someone was to be technical about it all, what is history anyway? Secondly, tell me what it means to you."

Was the professor singing? Oh dear. He was just as cracked as the last one. That certainly explained a lot. She just watched him sing and tap his feet, kind of in a mixture of amusement and horror. Like those horrible car accidents that make you a little sick but compell you to watch anyway. Quote:

And Oh no. He'd given her the look. The type of look that told her they had a long conversation coming up, one not in the "fun" catagory. She just sighed. This day was getting better and better.

Vanesssa thought for a second before raising her hand. "Sir. History can where we learn about the events and people of the past, and what they did during there lifetimes. We can also learn about how their decisions have influenced our lives, and how some of their decisions are still affecting our lives now." She nodded, happy with her answer. "But history to me is learning about the past, about people who lived before us. As without knowing about history how are we to more on into the future?"

Camira raised her hand then, realizing the professor had asked a question. "History can be defined as a usually chronological record of events, as of the life or development of a people or institution, often including an explanation of or commentary on those events. What it means to me is another story. I honestly don't much care for history and the only reason it's really significant to me is because I see it as a slew of lessons and mistakes our forebearers made. I think if one pays close enough attention to history, they can learn from the lessons and avoid a repeat of those mistakes."

Abby raises her hand. "History is the study of the past both famous and personal. When I think of history, I think of my family's history. My mother had our family tree back seven generations. I also think about the important things that have happen in the past like the defeat and destruction of Lord Voldemort." | |

Maddox raised his hand and replied, "History is a record of past events, so that future generations can learn what caused different laws, holidays, or just so they can learn about their country and what has happened. Personally I find history interesting. It helps me understand why we have the liberties that we have, and the reasonings for us wizards to stay hidden in the world." He shrugged.

"So do I, Elizabeth. So do I." Truebridge answered.
"So I suppose I should teach you all... stuff." Ethan addressed the class. "Would anyone like to begin by telling me first, if someone was to be technical about it all, what is history anyway? Secondly, tell me what it means to you." She raised her hand. "History is just simply studying things from the past. And to me history means learning what my ancestors did so that I can either continue to do it or learn from their mistakes. In Africa we rely more in an oral history than a written one and each family has a old one that is in charge of keeping up with the family history." She explained. She needed the points and so did her house.

William put his hand in the air. "History is the chronological time line of events which occurred before we were alive. When I think of History I think of all those historical events of our past, which helped shape the people we are today." He replied smiling happily. There was no way he'd be in a bad mood today.

Celandine raised her hand, after thinking about the question for a moment, "History is almost a synonym with the past. It's kind of a study of cause and effect and what makes the world the way it is. History sort of shows us what not to do and teaches us to learn from the mistakes of humanity if we choose to listen to the lessons it teaches us." Celandine adjusted her pink hair ribbon and smiled at Daphne, "To me, History is the ultimate resource for the world; sort of a how-to guide. There's all these people that achieved things that you can be inspired by and all these atrocities that really make you reevaluate your moral standings. So its also a bit of a barometre for what is right and wrong in relation to society- in our case that would be the magical world."

"History for me is just some random events that occured in the past and influenced our present and will influence the future. It's an unbreakable chain of random actions if we must say. Each node having a certain impact on the nod that follows. It doesn't just focus on what happened yesterday, it can also give us details about why our present is what it is and what our future will be due to a certain event that took place in the past" Ray answered after he had raised his hand. "It can focus on anything maybe a person stepping on a butterfly would have an affect on the future, you know the butterfly effect, I think that is what the muggles at least call it!" Ray added.

Secondly, tell me what it means to you." Jake looked up at the professor suspiciously. He knew the use of the would shouldn't, he'd loopholed his way outta that one many a time. Fighting hard against his brain that was trying to comment, Jake raised his hand. "History is... past events, if that makes sense. Technically, I think people would call it famous or well-known past events. To me, it's stuff that's been and gone, and what you can learn from. Something that was. Like when something is finished, it's History. Maybe it's similar to the other meaning, too..." Jake tried to round off his rambling. "I think, to me, yeah, it's a learning curve, where you can experience, and think back to it in similar future situations."
Jake let his hand drop down. Where did THAT come from?!

Lima raised her hand and said, "History is a timeline of past events that. And from History we learn what our ancestors did in order to gain knowledge, a sense of where we came from, and how we can work to improve upon ourselves." | |
