Upon entering the History of Magic classroom, it looks like it usually does. All the desks and chairs are in neat rows. A simple blackboard in the front of the room and Professor Welton sitting at her desk. Nothing too out of the ordinary is in sight.
A simple message written on the board:
Please take your seats and the lesson will begin shortly. OOC: Class has started now. Please DO NOT announce your late arrive and please make sure that you are aware of the class rules. Late arrivals will result in lost of points. If you are just join us, please just act as you have been present the whole time. | |

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."

"What can you all tell me about the International Confederation of Wizards and what they do for us?" 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.

Now. Finn did know about this, mainly because his tutor had spent a whole two months on it, and really he had gotten quite bored, and not paid attention. So. He probably knew a little about it. That was if he could remember. He wrote down the topic on his parchment though, so that he could like make notes right? Just incase it came up in the exam next year. That would be what a good student would do. "Aren't they like a governing body that overseas all the nation's ministries, and I think they try to like make sure that nobody does anything really bad." Because that would be bad.

"What can you all tell me about the International Confederation of Wizards and what they do for us?" 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.

"What can you all tell me about the International Confederation of Wizards and what they do for us?" 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. Quote:

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.

"What can you all tell me about the International Confederation of Wizards and what they do for us?" 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.

Ah, History of Magic, it wasn't his best class but he had passed his OWL. Legend leaned back in his chair listening to Welton speak. International Confederation of Wizards. Wasn't that on his OWL last year. And he had gotten it wrong too. Legend raised his hand. He knew what it was now! "Professor, the International Confederation of Wizards was started around 1690 by Pierre Bonaccord with the purpose to unite the wizarding world across the planet. And to like...keep our secret away from Muggles."

"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.

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.

"What can you all tell me about the International Confederation of Wizards and what they do for us?" 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.

There goes all thought that the lesson wasn't going to lead in the same direction as all other classes, Simon grumbled to himself. Seeing the hufflepuff he had met in Hogsmeade hit his head on his desk, he felt sympathetic especially when various other students around seemed to be just as annoyed on the constant reminder of the statute and now where it had come from apparentlly. The Sixth year sat back and paid loose attention until he found something that was something he wanted to answer or converse on.

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.

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?

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.

Neptune pinched him after his head-to-desk display. "You'll leave a mark." And then she'd have to put make-up on is face to cover the bruise. Did that sound fun? No. She gave him the do behave look - though it was tinged with fondness. Giggle.
Anyway. Neptune raised her hand. "Are there any witches in the Confederation?" | |

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."
