| Term 23: September - December 2009 Term Twenty-three: Mysterious Circumstances (Sept 2069 - June 2070) |

10-19-2009, 12:09 PM
| | HoM BASIC Lesson 2 (1st-4th years)
Today the observatory contained desks for the students to sit at, arranged in a half-moon shape though each of the desks were slightly misaligned.
There was an orb of sorts in the centre of the room which appeared to be a three dimensional 'blackboard' of sorts, shaped so that it could be seen from every angle of the rounded tower room.
The board was not empty.
It contained an image with no words to accompany it.
Professor Truebridge was sitting in a chair underneath the orb, tapping a beat out on his knee and humming a tune while he waited for his students to arrive.
Each desk had plenty of parchment and quills provided, suggesting that the students might need extra at some point in the lesson. ooc: Class will commence in about 9 hours. Professor Truebridge WILL take points for excessive chatter. 1st to 4th years may post in this class with the exception of those who have been asked to attend the ADVANCED classes. |

The ownership of the wand was then passed to Dumbledore." |

"Wasn't Grindelwald like really into the...dark arts and stuff? And that he was friends with Dumbledore?" "Right on both counts. Grindelwald was a known dark artist." Ethan agreed, "And he was once friends with Albus Dumbledore." Quote:

"Since he 'defeated' Gregorovitch and won the wand. Wait, but would just stunning him mean he still won the wand?"

Herminny raised her hand hoping she was right in what she thought was the answer saying, "I think that the act of Grindlewald stunning Gregorovitch so he could escape with the elder wand passed it's allegance to Grindlewald cause the wand to see his old master as defeated by him and his new master as Grindlewald Though because he did'nt truly defeat it's former owner the wand only had partial allegance to him cause if not he would'nt have been able to use it's power to kill forming a dark army in Europe and the feirce duel that he had with Dumbledore would have ended in his defeat a lot sooner then it did but he was defeated proving the wand only gave him partial allegance.".

| "To gain true allegiance of a wand the owner must be defeated. THe wand will work for another owner without having been defeated, but it won't work as well as it would if it were won." Alexandra said with a raised hand. |

"Ownership of the wand wouldn't have been recognized if it was merely stolen from the owner. By using a stunner, Gregorovitch was technically disarmed by the thief and thus ownership was passed to said thief." she offered after raising her hand.

Kylie raised her hand, "If he hadn't shot that 'stunner', the wand would have not switched possessions." Kylie said curtly. Her classes were really starting to wear her out, despite the coffee she'd been given earlier.

Raising her hand straight up in the air Zoe responded, "Yes, professor the previous owner does need to be defeated, but it doesn't have to be in a duel. Simply disarming the owner is enough. This is how Draco Malfoy gained allegiance from Professor Dumbledore. He didn't even know that he had gained the wands power nor did he ever wield it. Harry Potter then only disarmed him when he had his own wand, not even the Elder Wand. So the wand doesn't even have to ever be in your posession to transfer allegiance."

Tavelon tried to speak up, but a mouthful of doughnut prohibited him from getting the answer before the others. Still, he figured he may as well try to be active in the conversation. Swallowing, he raised his hand. "Um, Professor? If the Elder wand is supposedly unbeatable, that would mean that the only way to pass it on was outside of a duel, right? Like when Harry Potter acquired it from Draco Malfoy or Grindelwald from Gregorovitch?"

"Alright, Fyo mentioned that a stunner was shot at Gregorovitch, by the thief. How is this an important factor?" Professor Truebridge's wand is Gregorovich's? But didn't Voldemort kill him in the war? Nataly thought, confused. She just couldn't believe it was true.
She raised her hand to answer the question. " If Grindevald didn't stun Gregorovich, he won't defeat him, and the wand wouldn't belong to him. Also, Gregorovich would be able to chase after him and take the wand back."

Ethan listened to the answers and held up his finger.
"Now I am glad I asked this question because there seems to be some confusion. Carter put it most succinctly 'The owner has to be overpowered for the wand to be passed on and work for a new owner.' Remember that it was a misconception that one needed to duel the Master of the wand in order to conquer it. Another way to put it is that the Master of the wand needed to be conqured rather than the wand itself."
An owl flew in the open window and started to flap around the class, a note addressed to the professor attached to its leg.
Truebridge ignored it in favour of asking another question.
"Moving on to Grindelwald, the thief. A few of you have already mentioned a few details about him, and about his connection to Dumbledore. So tell me, who knows what happened that sent these two, who were once best friends, on divergent paths?"

| Alexandra's hand shot up and she said, " Well, sir. I think it was because when Grindelwald was told by Dumbledore that he coudln't go with him to start their work Grindelwald got angry and they dueled. While the duel was happening Headmaster Dumbledore's sister, Arianna, was killed. Dumbledore never forgave himself for it and changed his ways after that." |

Skye thought over the question a little and raised her hand. "Sir, I think Dumbledore's brother confronted Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and Grindelwald didn't like that," Skye answered. "So Albus, Aberforth and Grindelwald dueled, and one of them did something that killed Arianna, which resulted in Dumbledore realizing what Grindelwald really was and Grindelwald leaving." |

Herminny raised her hand and to answer yet again saying, Grindlewald befreinded Albus Dumbledore in his youth when they both had ambition for glory for wizards to rule over muggles which formed a close relationship. Albus's brother Aberforth did not like this one bit and attempted to stop Dubledore from persuing this ambition by telling him he had to care for his damaged sister. Dumbledore did'nt want this and Grindlewald went on the defensive for him but took it too far using the cruciatus curse on Aberforth infuiating Albus Dumbledore and a three way duel in which Ariana was accidentally killed because she did'nt have great control over her magic. Both Albus and Aberforth mourned their sisters death and Albus soon after ended his freindship with Grindlewald cause this occurance proved to Dumbledore that Grindlewald did'nt care about his loved ones".
