Elizabeth though for a few seconds as the professor asked about the cloak of invisibility, before raising her hand again. "The cloak of invisibility in the story was a true cloak of invisibility, in that when the owner wore it, it made him completely invisible, and nothing could penetrate that ability. Most 'invisibility cloaks' are cloaks that are charmed to hide the wearer, or use the properties of Demiguise hair, which they are commonly woven from, to hide themselves. But all of those cloaks are fallible, while the cloak of the story is not."

"Well the invisibility cloak metioned in this story Professor is an extordianry one. Unlike other cloaks and Disilliusion items, it doesnt fade or lose power of time. Its one of the only completely invisible cloaks in the world." Chris stated with his hand raised

Abby listens to what Professor Trubridge says and takes notes. Then it hits her like a lead balloon. "The resurrction stone... it has to be..." she whispers under her breath. She then raises her hand. "The Invisibility Cloak is the third of the deathy hallows. It's different from any other invisibilty cloak in that it has never worn out. It was made by Ignotus Peverell, the third brother in the tale. The cloak was handed down generation to generation. The last known descendants of Ignotus Peverell are Harry Potter and his descendents. Legend says only descendant of Ignotus Peverell can own the cloak and use it properly."

Cedric catching up some notes then he raised his hand,"Cloak of Invisibility originally owned by Ignotus Peverell,one of the Peverell brothers,and now owns by Harry Potter given by his father,James Potter..Cloak of Invisibility was different from any other invisibility cloaks because the only one who can use it were only the true descendant of Ignotus Peverell and no one can detect or penetrate this Cloak of Invisibility"Cedric said

Herminny raised her hand and said, "Ah, the Cloak of Invisibility, this cloak was first owned by the youngest brother Ignotis Perevell given to him by death itself so this cloak was not like any other charmed cloak keeping a person invisible for sometime before it wore off, oh no, this cloak kept the person wearing it invisible forever, and such a piece of work should never fall into the wrong hands so there are stipulations to who can actually use the cloak effectively and it is that only descedants of Ignotus Peverell could actually use the cloak effectively and this chain started the moment Ignotus took off the cloak at a very old age after living a good long life and passed it on to his son and over generations oof descendants the cloak eventually made it to be passed on to the Potter family and it eventually got to Harry Potter who if I ramember correctly from books I have read about him he left the cloak in the Forbidden Forrest before he went to face Voldemort to have him kill the horocrux within him and possibly even just kill him entirely, he was so brave, and even though it may have been easier to chose death and be done with it, he chose life and in the end beat Voldemort at his own game, but yeah, since he left the cloak in the Forbidden Forrest know one owns the cloak anymore, and I believe Harry made the right choice not to use the Deathly Hallows to defeat death, and leaving them behind in the Forbidden Forrest so know one ever could and he would not be tempted to".

Inivisbility cloaks? Clifford raised his hand. "Sir, those things are WICKED cool, man. You just put it over you and POOF you disappear! Like, noone can see you!" Ahhhh, he wanted an invisibility cloak.. so that he could SPY on people. Mwaha. "I think the one in the story is an even cooler one though. Yeah, that cloak was extra super duper."

Plymouth slid off his seat slowly and moped all the way to his corner. Was this punishment? It was kind of hard to tell because the hat was wicked cool and Plymouth couldn't imagine being given a hat such as this being punishment. But the corner bit... the corner bit felt like punishment. Plymouth pushed the big round open end of the hat down on his poofy hair and went to his corner. He wedged himself into the corner.

At least no one could put spiders on him here. He'd just get them naturally - which was much better.

But, while he was there, might as well answer the questions. He raised his hand, corner-style. "Umm... if I had one, that cloak, I'd still stay here. But, you know, some people," like the sort of people that cursed you with ear-hair, or put spiders on innocent people, or did illegal tree activities," could use those for nefarious causes. Bank-robbing. Icing-licking. Girls' dorm peeking. Cheating on a test." Things, fyi, Plymouth would NEVER do. "I think it's overkill, no pun intended, that cloak. No one needs to disappear that completely. If you have to be not SEEN while doing something, then there's a good chance you're not supposed to be doing it." Plymouth shrugged and picked at a spot in the corner.

Miles raised his hand in excitement. Invisibility cloaks were AMAZING because ... they made you invisible.

"Harry Potter had one, didn't he?" Miles pondered for a moment out loud, and then began. "The cloak in the story is given to the younger brother by death, and it seems that he hides from death for years when wearing it. The cloak in the story is different because it completely sheilds the owner and can't be worn out by time or spells. Some invisibility cloaks, get worn by age and become visible after a long period of time."

Raising his hand into the air, Jake spoke up. "In the story, the third brother used it to ward off death, which kind of shows on a bigger scale that it symbolises... hiding... I think. And, as far as I know... which isn't much to be honest, there hasn't beeeen a real Invisibility Cloak... has there? Because, it's in the story... it ain't real," Jake thought for a second. He'd been caught out by these kinds of morals before... still... "Anyway, that Cloak in the story was like, totally real, never fades, and others, well, do."

Ana raised her hand "The invisibility cloak is mention in the tale, Death gave it to Ignotis Peverell. Since that time the cloak has passed through the Ignotus Peverell family and as descendents it end up in the Potter family. First James Potter and then Harry Potter, and he'll probably pass it to one of his children. That cloak is the original and nothing, or almost nothing can see through it and it will never fail with time. All the other cloaks are just weak imitations that stop working with time." Oh she loved that story!!!

Joanne raised her hand. She was really enjoying this lesson " Well we know that the invisibility cloak on the tale is different from most invisibility cloaks commercialized. They are both rare, but in the tale's cloak case, it's unique, it never ages, gets holes or stops working properly. Most common cloaks are known to loose their powers, get holes from spells and even rip." Joanne scratched her nose " and I suppose disillusionment cloaks are like the disillusionment spells, they don't make you invisible, they just merge you with the background, which at first sight is very effective, but not actually perfect, right Professor?"

Tobi raised his hand and poured his brains out, “Invisibility Cloaks are magical pieces of clothing, allowing, as the name suggests for the wearer to become invisible.

“Invisible,” Tobi clarified, “but still solid, so the wearer would still have to take care not to disturb objects or people if he or she wished to remain undetected. Cloaks can be made from the pelt of a Demiguise, as those creatures have power to become invisible, and their fur possesses the same quality. Also, cloaks that have been given a strong bedazzlement hex or disillusionment charm act in the same way.

“Accounts of the life of Harry Potter say that he possessed not just an Invisibility Cloak, but the Cloak of Invisibility once rumoured to have once belonged to Ignotus Perevell, who was Legend to be the real life counterpart of the youngest brother of Tale of the Three Brothers. The Existence of that cloak, and the possible existence of Ignotus Perevell bring a whole new dimension to the story and a whole new credibility to the possibility that the story was not just a story but an allegory for true events and that the other two gifts from Death may have actually existed as well.”

Okay so Tobi was a bit of a skeptic when it came to things like Resurrection and Death being a walking talking person. He’d believe that when he saw it, and then he’d run away screaming.

Barry watched the drama between the two boys. So immature. Fighting over Cela. Thats why they had the duel arena. To take out your anger there, well anyway, now that the two were gone class would be more peaceful. Barry did, while the professer was listning to answers, do a seat hop, and ended up next to Cela, he gave the girl a comforting smile and then answered the question

"Well the invisibilty cloak in the tale, is a cloak of true invisibilty so you cannot be seen, and does what it says in the name. In real life we have cloaks that give invisibilty but there not all origonal and after a while they fade. But it is rumoured that there was a cloak just like the one in the tale, in possesion of the legondary Harry Potter" he finished. That made him wonder, did Harry ever have Girl problems? Two boys, much better then him, who liked the same girl? Maybe.

Barry then said to Cela in a hushed whisper "You are a good Ravenclaw"

Joanne just looked around to everyone talking with each other and sighed a little. She always found it hard to find someone to talk to. There were these two boys having a fight over a girl. She rolled her eyes to the ceiling and put her chin resting in her hands waiting for all the answers to be done.

More than just a tad amused at the sudden turn of events, Anna raised her hand to respond to the question about invisibility cloaks. "In the story 'The Tale of the Three Brothers', the third brother, Ignotus, received an invisibility cloak from Death. If you remember, Ignotus had been the only brother not to make a self wish. He only wished to step away from a situation he believed he shouldn't be a part of. In response, Death handed Ignotus the most powerful Invisibility Cloak ever created, and Ignotus was allowed to escape death and live a long and happy life," Anna explained. The difference in this cloak and Disillusionment Cloaks in general, is that Disillusionment Cloaks will fade or lose power over time---the cloak from Death never did. Disillusionment Cloaks will provide the same effect as the Invisibility Cloak in the story, yet they are less powerful and are not everlasting."

The Slytherin Prefect raised her hand once more, shaking her head at the fight between the two brothers. Well, it had been rather amusing to watch, at least. "An Invisibility Cloak is a cloak of silvery grey material that, when worn, makes the covered parts of the wearer invisible. They're very valuable and rare." She said, generally speaking of course. They were so rare she had never seen one. Which was sad because she had always wanted to. "Some are imbued with a Disillusionment Charm, some carry a Bedazzling Hex, and some are woven from Demiguise hair. They end up fading over the years until they turn opaque. This particular cloak, though, never turned opaque and its power never faded. Also, it expands to protect not only the wearer but others as well, which is something the ... regular cloaks do. If you can call something so awesome 'regular' anyway." Hmmm. She wondered if ... The girl stared at her Professor for a while, looking thoughtful, before finally making a decision. "You dont happen to own one, do you, Sir? I've always wanted to see one.."

"That's right, thank you Kayla." Ethan nodded.

"Demiguise hair, thank you for mentioning that Elizabeth."

"Yes. Right you are."

"Actually, it wasn't made by Ignotus Peverell. He got it from Death, but thank you Abby."

Truebridge waited for the girl to take a breath and nodded, "Right."

"For certain." Truebridge agreed seriously.

"Alright." Truebridge sighed, "I suppose you technically have a point."

"That's right, Miles." Ethan nodded.

"Ah." Ethan tapped his nose.

"Thank you."

"Precisely." Ethan nodded at the Slytherin girl.

"Right. Good answer."


Wow. That girl attracted her male housemates like flies on... "Barry, back to your original seat please."

"Yes Anna, thank you."

Truebridge nodded to himself, "Alriiiiiight, that leaves.... the elder wand. Details people! What do you know?"

"The Elder wand was said to be the unbeatable wand. It had many names including the Death Stick. It has been owned by many people and was last none to be Dumbledore's wand." Chris said with his hand raised.

Becca raised her hand once again, still keeping an eye on the two brothers. "It is an extremely powerful wand made of elder wood. The core is made of Thestral tail hair, and it is said to be the most powerful wand in existence since, when used by its real master, it cannot be defeated in a duel. It really only responds to power. And if the real master died naturally without ever being defeated, the wand's power will have died, too. It's really intense."

Jake raised his hand again. Bwahaha, an Elder Wand. Oh the damage he could do with that.

"Sir, the Elder wand is, like, omnipotent," he said, using one of his favourite words. "It deals killer blows and the guy in the story got killed for it. Because he bragged about it, he got murdered for it, and then that was kinda like a curse for it I think. If you own that wand, I don't think you could lose a duel... Also, that is behind the whole Wand of Elder, Never Prosper thing that people have with their wand superstition, because loads of people were killed for it." Whew.

It was very clear, judging by how many times the word 'kissing' had been mentioned during the entire little scene between Copernicus and the other boy who's name Willow didn't know, that they were arguing over a girl. Teenagers.

Wait--she was one, too. But hey, she'd never fought with anyone for something like that!

Kissing. Exchanging saliva with someone else.

How awful.

Wrinkling her nose a little, the girl raised her hand, "The Elder Wand is also known as the Wand of Destiny," she said, nodding a little as she answered, "It is supposedly the most powerful wand that's ever been created and that the person that owns it cannot be defeated on a duel if using it. That's of course if the person is the wand's rightful owner, of course. Also, just like the rest of the wands, the Elder Wand can't cause any real harm to it's true master."

Kayla raised her hand again, "The elder wand also known as the Wand of Destiny or the Deathstick. Was created by death for the first brother from the branch of an elder tree. It is said to be unbeatable and indestructible. But I have to disagree that is was unbeatable, we know for a fact that Albus Dumbledore beat Grindewald in 1945 and he possessed the wand at that time. The wand passed through many hands and left a bloody trail of murder behind it." She took a breath trying to remember what else she knew about the wand. "It was a very enticing piece of weaponry to have but of course those that possessed it could not help but to boast about it leaving themselves wide open for attack."

The Elder Wand? Hmmm. Clifford scratched his chin in thought before raising his hand. "The Elder Wand thingymabob is just as cool as the invisibility cloak, Mister Professor Sir." The Prefect nodded eagerly. "I think it's meant to be the MOOOOOST powerful wand in the whole, wide world. So that's powerful. It's supposed to be unbeatable! I want one!"

Joanne raised her hand to answer " well Professor, the Elder wand, in the Tale is said to be an unbeatable wand, a wand that gives it's owner the power to perform any kind of magic! A very powerful wand indeed...but since the brother doesn't use it wisely he gets killed because of it" she looked up as she was thinking " in real life there are rumors, legends about this wand, my grandpa told me a few, it brings disgrace to it's owner he said to me, because such a powerful object attracts all that is evil too. With great power comes with great responsibility he told me... so, unless the owner of the wand keeps it down, other wise that person will be the target of a great jealousy and eventually will get into trouble. And if I'm not wrong, I read that the wand's whereabouts are unknown for almost a century now, the last time people heard about it was on You-Know-Who's time, he was said to be chasing it and, people say that he found it, that it was Mr.Dumbledore's wand.. but after that.. BUUMM, gone! We could trace histories and legends from where it had passed for centuries but after that one rumor, it disappeared into thin air." Joanne said with wonder. It was a very mysterious story.

Barry sighed, at least Copernicus and Plymouth wern`t there. "Yes sir" he said tonelessly and moved back to his seat two rows behind. Cela would be troubled, maybe now would be a good time to use his kangaroo boots.

But first the question of cource "The Elder one is most likely to exist out of the three artifacts and has been refered to as the death stick or the wand of destiny. It has been said in history that many wizards fought to gain possesion of the wand, the wand has even been in the possesion of Dumbledoor, or so they say" answered Barry. Such a boring lesson, what happened to pairing up?
