"International confederation of...?"

Jake began to repeat what was said, but connected the dots almost immediately.

He knew this. He remembered that lesson and he KNEW that it was connected to the statute in a way.

With one steadying breath, Jake just slumped forwards and head!desk'ed. Hard. And loud.

... "Ow."

Oh, this one was easy! Helena raised her hand. "The intentions of the International Confederation of Wizards is to unite the wizarding world... across the world, isn't it? It also instituted the International Statute of Wizard Secrecy to hide the wizarding world from the muggles." And then she took a deeeeep breath.

Luin thought through her answer for a few minutes before raising her hand, "The International Confederation of Wizards were the ones who instituted the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy in 1692. Their leader is called the Supreme Mugwump, Albus Dumbledore held that position at one time., The very first Supreme Mugwump was Pierre Bonaccord." she then sat back and scratched down a few notes on her parchment.

She was like, way too tired at the moment.

Blink.

The Wizard Confederation....International...wha?

Staring at the professor, from the back of the class, since her mind soooooo wasn't giving her any clue as to where her friends were or if they were even in here at the moment, the Slytherin girl just sat there almost like a zombie, but prettier and totally better. Need to wake up! The Wizard International Confederation...was a thingy...

That had to do with Wizards...

Pffft, yea.

Oh the possibilities of where this lesson could go. On the one hand, there seemed hope that maybe it would deviate from the Statue and the aspects of muggle 'regulation' and 'help' that the classes before this had been based around. Then again, a group of wizards regulating the whole society of wizards around the world was too dangerously close. Not to mention.... "They formed the Statue of Secrecy." And there you had it. That all encompassing theme throughout the rest of the classes.

Sabel jumped a little and blinked as a rather loud bang sounded, his eyes widening as they caught on Jake's head seemingly firmly implanted onto the desk in front of him. He couldn't help the slight smile that touched his lips as he ducked his head just to make sure there wasn't any blood or cracked skull from the boy; it had sounded rather painful. "You might want to consider bringing a pillow next time, mate. You alright?"

He almost wanted to copy Jake in the same expression though, given where he was fairly certain the lesson was headed. Statue and State connected. Wonderful.

Simon looked at the Professor. "Are they the people who make sure that all the wizards in the world behave and make sure that the muggles don't see what is going on." Simon guessed, he had no idea, he couldn't remember what they did.

"Probably a good idea," came Jake's muffled voice as he moved his head so his chin was resting on the table. He glanced over at Sabel and smile. "I think I'll live."

Unless there was much more to be done on the statute this year. His schooling was being ruined by this sudden change in curriculum. Grrrrr.

Argh!

Why was Sierra not surprised that yet another lesson was going to focus on things that had recently been said and discussed around the castle?! Her eyes flickered to Jake Upstead, and she laughed lightheartedly and very softly at the way his head hit the desktop with a loud thud. "I feel your pain," she'd wanted to say.

Turning her attention back to the professor, Sierra raised her hand. Of course she knew all about things like this by now. They'd discussed the topics in a number of their lessons so far. "They're the group responsible for hiding the wizarding world from the muggle world," she said. "They established the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy a few of the others have mentioned."

"I believe that the Internation Confederation of wizards are the ones who came up with the statute of secrecy and inforce it to this day. It is them who makes sure anything any wizard does in front of a muggle that is magic is covered up and that person delt with. In other words they make sure that our world remains a secret to muggles in every wy they can", Chloe said raising her hand high.

Hrllo professor" Rex told her. I believe the International Confedearation of Wizards is to make sure that all the Wizards and Witches get along together and of course hising it from the Muggle World" Rex explained to the professor.

Seated somewhere behind the pretty girls (Lexi, Chyler), Salander was just zoning out and gazing at Professor Welton dreamily. Then she mentions that all important governing body that puts a halt at his daydreams like a screeching record player,"They're the people who wrote the Statute." he responds grumpily. Yeah that Statute that every Wizarding cop throws at you when you do something remotely wizardy within a few miles radius of a muggle. Party poopers.

She really shouldn't be surprised. Almost every other class had spoken of the statue, so it being spoken about in this lesson shouldn't come as a surprise to the young girl. But it was disheartening, and had her slumping in her chair. Yes, she knew the answer to that question, but she didn't feel the need to respond since everyone else had given the correct response as far as she could tell. She allowed her eyes to lazily flick around the classroom as others continued to speak.

Aww, I miss FL. :(
 

"Nice!" Ellie commented and sat a bit straighter in her desk. Foooooood. Yum.

The whaaat?

Never fear, Ellie had this, "They were a group," pause, "consisting of wizards from multiple nations."

Chyeaah.

"Oh and they did something about the Statute. Invented it or something."

Yeah, she was being lazy today. Maybe sugar would wake her up a bit? Sugar? Now? Yes?

Having only learned of the magical world a year ago, Rowan had nothing to offer up as an answer so she sat quietly taking notes.

Hugo shifted on his seat. The international confediwhuzzle? He looked around awkwardly. Yeah.... No.

Nika was very confused. In all her other classes they had started by talking about muggle things so she was able to answer most questions. But the international confederation of Wizards? HUH? Nika just looked around and shrugged. Might as well let someone who knows what they are talk about answer. Better them than her. She looked around and met the eyes of some other confused students and she relaxed a bit. She wasn't the only one. Good.

Emmaleigh let out a sigh, when she heard the question. This was a topic that she didn't know a whole lot about at the start of term, but now, she knew quite a bit. Raising her hand, she said, "A group that involves all the wizard governments around the world. They created and maintain the statute."

Caroline rasised her hand, She knew this " The International Confederation of Wizards are laws makers, in a way, but they make sure the muggles dont find out about wizards and witches. It's also used to unit all wizarding countries." she smiled after she awsnered.

K-Lee raised her hand. "Isn't it to do with keeping muggles out of the know that wizards are living among them in they're own secret society?" She said. She knew it was more than just that but that was all that came to mind.

And it looked like there was going to be even more discussion of the Statute. Kurumi already had a headache just thinking about it.

"Professor, the International Confederation of Wizards is the wizarding version of the non-magical United Nations," she began. What? She grew up non-magical so many things she explained about the wizarding world she had to compare to what she grew up knowing. "What this means is that they are a governing body that overseas the various individual nations' councils and ministries. It is their business to know what is going on on a worldwide scale whereas the Ministry of Magic, I believe, is mostly concerned with Great Britain."
