"Professor" said Damon raising his hand. "It appears that the stone simply helps another person communicate with someone who no longer in existance in the physical life. Basically they have moved beyond earth life. The cloak obviously makes a person not seeable. They basically are hidden from view. And they appear to be protected from the cloak being disloged from them."

Herminny was happy to get the last question right and was ready and willing to answer the current question at hand saying, "The resurection stone was said to be what death gave to the middle Perevell brother because he wanted death to conquer death in a way of bringing the dead back to life which it does but only in a ghost like form for him his girlfreind that died but in this process he learned that she no longer belonged in the world of the living and let her go. All that is really known of the stone though is it can bring people back to life but only in a ghost like form. As for the cloak that is said to have been given to the youngest brother by death in the tale cause he wanted to defeat by making it impossible for death to find him though ultimately in old age he passes on the cloak to his son and accepts death in the tale. All that is known for sure of the cloak is that it's invisibility never fades and it is said that when wearing it not even death can see you which probably comes from the tale.".

Plymouth was going to stop by Kazimeriz's on his way anyway. Maybe it was one of those... "read between the lines" missions. Why else would Truebridge want Plymouth to leave? And get him FOOD nonetheless? Who trusted Plymouth with their food?

Brave Truebridge.


Plymouth wiggled his doodles at Truebz, you know, in case he needed them for the lesson. "Hehe."

With a conspiratorial-like WINK, Plymouth set off for the "kitchens." Read you LOUD and CLEAR, Professor!

Zoe was excited to be studying something associated with the famous Harry Potter. She had heard so much about all of the things that he and his friends and family had done, but could barely believe it all.

Having been too slow to answer the questions before the other students Zoe sat back and smiled up at the professor trying to relax so that she would be ready to answer the next question.

Lyddia had been hypnotized by the drawing up till now. What had she heard about it? Well, she remembered her dad reading her the stories when she was smaller, and she had read this same story recently.

'Well, the cloak was said to render the wearer invisible to uhm, well in the fairy tale it said death...' She trailed off a bit, then continued. 'Uhm, the stone was said to bring back the dead but not as they were before, because you can't bring the dead back to life so...it's kinda like a smelly corpse...or as the Muggles say, a zombie! She ended on a high note, tilting her head a bit.

Hm, maybe she should read the story again tonight. She really did like it...

Marie listened as the other students told what they knew about the cloak and the stone. 'I think I need a cloak like that. It would be so cool to wander around unnoticed by anyone, oh the fun I could have with that' she thought to herself as she continued to listen to the others.

Evleyn half listened, her ears still ringing with the 'invisibility cloak' words. "Aren't there invisibility cloaks around? Just like...really really expensive or something though?" she asked, finishing copying what they were supposed to take notes on and looked up to the professor, her hazel eyes darkening by the second.

'Hey Ev, how's class?' the voice asked as if it just walked into the room. 'That's just it, i'm in class. Now go away...' But Evelyn knew it was useless. She was tired and wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight with it. She hoped it won't end up like the dueling arena...

Alexandra's hand shot up in the air and she said, "Well, the cloak is said to be the only REAL cloak. It's magic never wore off, even as it was passed on through generations. The Elder Wand was said to be unbeatable." SHe smiled weakly and dropped her gaze back to her desk.

Satine began taking her usual notes but this time she used bright red to write everything done with. She had a thought..."Wasn't the wand considered to be almost a curse to anyone who used it because it made people greedy for power?"

Skye thought over the question and raised her hand hesitatantly. "I heard the cloak can protect others as well as the owner, and makes everything under it invisible," she answered. "And the stone can bring some part of the dead back, but not completely," she continued. She put her hand back down and listened to the others' responses.

Kylie raised her hand, "Well Professor.. The cloak is special, where it completely conceals you. And unlike most invisibility cloaks, it doesn't wear out.. like how most of them have a charm that eventually fades...
I believe that the stone was called the resurrection stone. It would allow you to communicate with the dead.. but they'd be in.. um. They wouldn't really be there. Well, I mean, you could communicate with them... but they wouldn't be physical beings. I don't think the spirits would really like it either.. I can't remember that part.. "

Kylie knew she knew more at some point. She just couldn't remember. She wasn't even sure if everything else she'd said was right.

Having just remembered that the Professor had asked about the cloak and the Stone she put her hand back up and said, "The stone was said to bring the dead back to the person that holds it. But they don't come back wholly, it is a pale imitation of that person and they are not happy to be brought back."

Of course being half and half and having lived as a muggle all her life, Tori didn't know much about any of this...maybe that's why she was here apart from being a wizard. She listened intently and took alot of notes.

"That is indeed what they say, it is a very special invisibilty cloak, one that offers true invisibility and not merely disillusionment." Truebridge answered.

"Nicely summarised." Ethan answered. "Harry Potter is indeed the last known owner."

"Sounds like you have been doing some reading." Ethan observed.

"Good, Herminny." Ethan responded.


Well... this would be interesting. Ethan watched the 7th year invader leave all eagerly. He did realise that Truebridge really had missed breakfast, wasn't he?

"Hmmm. Inferi are more like zombie than those resurrected with the stone, but good answer, clearly you've heard the Tale of the Three Brothers before."

"There are but they do not offer true invisibility, only various degrees of disillusionment and those that have strong enough disillusionments to provide invisibility are not permanently charmed that way." Truebridge answered.

"We'll get to the wand soon enough." Ethan answered. "Hold those thoughts."

"Right on both counts." Truebridge agreed.

"Right." Truebridge acknowledged.

"That is an important distinction to make. Those who are restored by the resurrection stone do not choose to be thus restored. If they wanted to, if they still had business here then they would already be ghosts and therefore there would be no need to use the resurrection stone to talk to them."

He poked at the display orb with his wand and the triangle part of the symbol flashed.

"The invisibility cloak, the only true invisibility cloak, allows its user to be hidden, but it does not provide invincibility. If someone is smart enough to guess where someone wearing the cloak is, they could still harm them."

He jabbed the orb again and the circle in the symbol flashed next.

"I am pleased that none of you have confused the resurrection stone with the philosophers stone. Of course, they both are used to obstruct death, but in different ways."

He jabbed it for a third time, the line through the symbol brightening while the rest of the image faded.

"The focus of this class will be the Elder Wand. What do we know about the wand itself? What kind of wand was it? What can we guess about its qualities?"

"Well, the Elder wand is also known as the Deathstick and the Wand of Destiny," Rafe answered with his hand in the air. "It is said to be the most powerful wand ever and can even mend broken wands, like it did for Harry Potter. And Death apparently made it from a snapped twig of an Elder tree, I guess, hence the name and Death made it a foot and half or something like that? And has the core of a Thestral, which is really rare because it's a tricky substance!" Rafe was astonished he could remember that much. But the Deathly Hallows was one of his favorite bedtime stories.

"Well, we know it's made from an Elder tree...obviously." Evelyn mumbled, drawing the Deathly Hallows symbol all over her paper before moving on to drawing the individual items before a question popped into her mind.

"Wait, does a wand change if it gets passed down to someone else? Because since the Elder wand had so many owners, 'powerful' owners at that...would the wand become more powerful? Or would it just stay the same. We all talk about how we have this certain...connection...with our wands and that they are more or less apart of ourselves because we use them so often in our everyday lives." Evelyn paused for a second to take a breathe. "And we all also learn that it’s the wand chooses the wizard. But in this case, wouldn’t the wizard have chosen the wand? Since you would have had to have win it, or however you get the wand. And if you win the wand, it would supposedly still be the best wand for the owner, i think.” She paused again, trying to get the words out so they wouldn’t confuse anybody and her question actually make sense.

“Would that mean it would have had to change a little, maybe growing in its power, or however, to suit the owner? And if so, since the wand had all those owners, and since it was powerful to begin with, would it have been even more powerful at the point where Harry Potter had gotten it?" Hopefully that all made sense.

Marie tried to remember what she had heard about the elder wand. "Professor wasn't the elder wand suppose to be the most powerful wand ever? Was it true that whoever owned the wand could not be defeated in a duel?" Marie asked not quite sure if she was right.

A shot of excitement shot across Kaiyo's face, for once, something she knew. The girl scribbled down the symbol and raised her hand, 'Isn't the Elder wand meant to be the most powerful wand ever made.' Kaiyo paused, squinting slightly as she tried to remember what else, 'And, erm, it's made of elder wood, with a core of...thestral tail hair?'. Kaiyo wrote down some more notes quickly and looked back around the classroom.

Arianna raised her hand, her left hand, which she normally didn't, but she was trying to hide something in her other hand. She was definitely never going to write on her hands, just to remember it didn't want to come out..

"Professor, the elder wand was a very powerful wand, it allowed the wizard who owned it to do all types of incredible magic that even the most gifted wizard, couldn't do with a regular one. As Rafe has said too, an example of that is that Mister Harry Potter used it to mend it's broken wand. And it had a special particularity, it had to be conquered to work properly, many wizards at that time.." she took a moment to breath and think about what she had read about that subject " ah, yes, many wizards thought they had to kill it's previous owner, but in fact they just had to disarm him, or defeat him in a duel." she smiled, proud to read so much. If I only read about everything... she eyed her right hand, where it could be read A&T inside a heart, right on her palm. She closed her eyes. Stupid boys and stupid girls who crush on them. Stupid me.

"The Deathstick and the Wand of Destiny." Ethan repeated. "15 inches of elder with a thestral hair core."

"Good Evelyn. Indeed the wand is a changing thing having been influenced by its previous owners. More powerful towards the end of its reign, but also more volatile and harder to control." Truebridge suggested, "After being influenced by so many power hungry wizards."

"The first part is true, supposedly the Elder Wand was the most powerful wand ever, however it is not true that its owner was unable to be defeated in a duel. As a matter of fact, if the owner was beaten in a duel, the wand would no longer belong to them, and instead belong to the victor." Truebridge explained.

"Right on all counts." Ethan agreed.

"Thats quite right. To own the wand, to master it, you were required to defeat its owner in a duel or disarm them thereby proving your superiority by the standards of the Deathstick."

Truebridge poked at the display orb and a likeness of the Elder Wand appeared.



"Fifteen inches, Thestral tail hair core, elder wood." He repeated. "What is significant about those factors? What about the wand itself might lend itself to its unique power and life cycle?"

Arianna rubbed her nose for a moment, thinking " Thestrals are very unique fantastic animals aren't they? They're extremely intelligent and can only been seen by those who have seen death. That might contribute to the wand's unique powers right? " she wasn't very sure that made sense, it was hard to explain why something was so powerful " and elder wood is quite unique too I think, if I remember correctly, in some regions it's believed to have spirits inside too" she nibbled on her nails " other than that, it's quite rare that a wand lasts for so long, with time wand's cores are supposed to slowly fade right? This one never does, I think it's kept alive by it's owner life and strength and I read somewhere that it's supposed to turn into a normal wand just as soon as it's owner dies of a natural death without ever being defeated." she said, ending her speech with curious eyes.

K rasied her hand, "Well Professor this is quite a unique wand because it is made from a unique creature the Thestral which is different becuase not everyone can see it. That is important because if only so many people can see the creature only so many people may be able to get a hold of the wand." She hoped at least that part may be right. "Because Death gose along with the Trestral it may be why this wand is the most poweful." she also went on to say hopeing at least the effort counted.

...Terry centres the ball to the penalty area, Drogba controls it, looks at the goal, shoots, Reina can't control and GOOAAL!!

Not in this class.

Evan snapped back to reality with the question of... He looked around, and saw the sign on the board. Riight, Deathly Hallows. Elder wand. He was in a class, not in Stamford Bridge. Keep that in mind.

He raised his hand unsurely. He really had little information on wands, and even little on Elder Wand. He just guessed. "I think as the thestrals are considered as dangerous, the wand may be dangerous too? And..." He did have something else to say! Think Evan! "And... oh yeah. As only people who have seen death can see thestrals, maybe the wand itself need a death to fully lend itself?" Making up much?

"Porfessor, The Elder Wand is special indeed. Death gave the Elder wand to Antioch Peverell. The wand has magic that is unknown to many of us. It is pasted to the new owner by dualing of in a fight. The wand was last seen at the defeat of Voldemort by Harry Potter. Also, a Thestral core is very unheard of." Kay said with her hand in the air.

"Well, professor, “Zoe added raising her hand, "Since the story is that Death is the one who made the wand there are probably certain magical qualities about it that we may never understand until we possibly find a way to truly understand death itself. There may also be a much stronger connection between the Thestral tail hair choice and Death which may help explain the wands odd power. Since a person can only see a Thestral if their lives have been touched by death in some way and the wand was created by death maybe the wand pulls from something beyond the veil or from a part of all of us that is controlled by death. The fact that in order to properly wield the wand you have to defeat its previous owner is also connected with death. Although you wouldn't have to kill the previous owner, many often do and they say that death follows the wand. The sense of power that it gives people may make them more likely to kill when they normally wouldn’t have."

Zoe was completely losing track of her original point, like usual. After a brief pause to reorganize her thoughts, she continued, "What I was trying to say is that the Perverell brothers were trying to master or overcome death, but in the end death tricked two of them with his gifts. In the case of the wand, death made it in such a way that it was connected to death on many levels and would bring that brother and many others to him that much quicker."

In the end Zoe thought that she had gotten her point across, but when she babbled on like that she could never quite be sure. Eventually she just had to stop talking because she felt silly and her mouth started to dry up.
