Default History of Magic II

[INDENT]The History of Magic classroom once again looks like it usually does. All the desks and chairs in neat rows. The only real difference is around the simple blackboard in the front of the room, Professor Welton has cleared an area with a few cushions and pillows. The area is not all that large, but allows students to pick whether they would like to sit there or at a desk.

Seating atop one of the cushions, Welton quietly looks through the small book in her gloved hands. Carefully turning the pages, her eyes scanned the words as memories were slowly reawaken in her mind.

Above her on the board a simple message is written:
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.

"Tales of Beedle the Bard." K-Lee piped up. She has always loved this book, her favourite story in it being 'The Fountain of Fair Fortune'. Her worn copy at home was falling apart, mostly due to her youngest sister, Maya who was 6, becoming obsessed with it. Beedle the Bard was the only book that Maya would read, and after breaking her own copy, K-Lee had to give Maya her own.

But why were they reading a fairytale book in class?

Lexi bounced slightly in her seat near Salander and raised her hand, "That's the Tales of Beedle the Bard, Professor. I like Babbity Rabbity and Her Cackling Stump." Lex had always loved the Beedle's Tales as a kid. She knew that there had been many translations done from Rune to English and that Former Headmaster Dumbledore himself had given notes on the book. Sighs. Hoistory of Magic was always her fave.

"Professor, it looks like a book related to death..." she said glancing at the scary looking cover again.
"I really wouldn't say it's completely related to death. I'm sure the skulls on it don't help either, but by no means is it a bad or dark book."

Still a story in History of Magic, this should be interesting... He hopes.
"Very right. Cass, it is a wizard's story book. I'm sure many of your classmates are familiar with it."

Cookie girl's answer was much more amusing, and that other kid was right about the setting they had going on at the moment. Comfy cushions, book in the Professor's hands, evil death looking designs...

"Could only mean that it is a story book then." she smiled, glancing over to Cookie girl and that other Gryffindor who had answered before her before looking back to the Professor. "Filled with stories of...misfortune."

Death was such a strong word.
"Yes, misfortune can be found in this book as well. But don't let that deter you from what you might learn from inside it."

Although others thought it was the first copy of beedle the bard. Mmm. Those stories were quite nice though...but the book looked so mean. Oh dear. Something didn't seem right.
Glancing at the cover briefly, she nodded. "Looks can be rather deceiving though. One shouldn't always judge a book by it's cover or a person by what they look like."

But when Jacob took a closer look, he saw that there were less gems on the book, so it obviously wasn't his family's book... "An old, Creepy looking one" Maybe it had the history of death, and weird things like that.
"Old, yes. But I don't think it so creepy."

Hey, that rhymes.

.....

Mannnn. Look at everyone stealing her thunder. Not cool.

POUT.

But she supposed Welton already knew that she knew what it was? Because of her last question to her? Yeah? "It's Totally Beedle the Bard." She'll give an answer anyway. But it totally was.

That's when I really heard about it properly."

The sound of her name drew her attention away from the Ravenclaw girl, and so Sierra turned back to the professor with a small smile. Oh, a book? Hmm, Sierra couldn't exactly see what was in the woman's hands from here.

Why had she opted to sit on a pillow again?!

Oh, right...Evelyn. Sierra craned her neck until she could get a pretty good view of the book. Easy question--she'd been familiar with that book since she was a toddler! "It's 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard', Professor," she said, her hand in the air.

She put her hand up. 'Is it 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard, professor?' she asked. She had a copy at home, so she ought to know what it looked like.

His favorite story, for obvious reasons.

"Two points to all of you. Yes, it is The Tales of Beedle the Bard. An old rare version, but not an original version I'm afraid."

To get her hands on an original would be amazing, but she would make due with the version she had. It wasn't something to sneeze at either.

"As a child, I used to hear a tale from this book almost every night and I'm sure most of you remember hearing tales from it as well. There are many versions that have been translated and different covers and what not, but what we find inside is the same. A few of you have mentioned a few of the tales inside. Can you name the others?"

Selina smiled when she was awarded two points. Score! Then the teacher asked if anyone knew any other stories in the book. Her hand shot up and she said, "Oh, Professor? My favorite one when I was younger was The Fountain of Fair Fortune. It's about these three witches looking for a fountain to solve all of their problems. They go on this journey and in the end they realize that they never needed the fountain at all. They had the power in them. It's a really powerful story."

Of course she could name a few others--she could name all of them and could likely recite most of the stories by heart, too! Surely all of the students could do the same, right?! After all, Sierra couldn't imagine any child not being read those stories.

"The Fountain of Fair Fortune?" she suggested, her hand in the air.

Whatever. Once the girl had gotten some food, she'd probably perk up. Hopefully. Because no one liked a Debbie Downer.

SIGH.

Ellie felt it was her honorary duty as the only one AWAKE this morning to fully answer the question. And do so in a non lazy way. Cuz just because there were pillows and a story, didn't make it nap time. "There's..." she began counting off her fingers, "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot," UGH, Another one of Aidan's favorites, "Babbity Rabbity, Fountain of Fair Fortune, Hairy Heart," cue nose-wrinkle, "Tale of Three Brothers." That one was quite interesting, actually.

Now, about those treats...

Vashti hadn't had the stories read to her as a child, but she'd read them once she got to Hogwarts. And she had a hard time picking a favorite because they were all really interesting, but one of the ones she'd read the most was... "There's 'The Tale of the Three Brothers,'" she answered after raising her hand.

Well... seemed pointless to try to offer up anything else seeing as that Ravenclaw just shouted out each story in the blasted book. Sheesh. Way to give people a chance. Lexi curled her lip slightly and began to pick at her fingernail polish distractedly.

Well Salander doesnt really know much about the tales given that he was raised as a muggle until he was 13, and the Deathly Hallows he had learned mostly because it was related to Harry Potter's stories. But there was one he heard from half blubbered tales of incoherent classmates from his past schools "Theres a story of a Prince or Lord or something, who had no heart in his chest, his real heart he kept in a box in the dungeons. And because that heart grew hairs and was really disgusting he tried to cut open his girlfriend's chest to take her heart instead." Suffice it to say that story fueled some pretty wild jokes that probably had little to do with the lesson of the original source.

Well, that was a relief. Kurumi was beginning to worry that they were going to learn about the Dark Arts in depth…and the Professor had something right. The skull on it certainly made it look scary and evil.

For the first time in a while, Kurumi felt utterly lost. She had never been read these stories growing up. Not to mention she still had the image of a giant cockroach playing the flute as he frolicked around telling stories. “P-Professor?” Kurumi said timidly raising her hand. “Can these stories be compared to those written by Hans Cristian Anderson or the Brothers Grimm? Those are the stories I grew up listening to.

Lounging back on Evelyn's pillows, Mia was almost dozing off as the students named some of the stories in 'Beedle the Bard.' But it was Salander's answer that made her burst out laughing.

"Oops sorry Professor." She said raising her hand in the air. "I think the story that Salander is referring to, is the 'The Warlock's Hairy Heart.'" She looked over at the Slytherin and chuckled again.

"Two points to all of you. Yes, it is The Tales of Beedle the Bard. An old rare version, but not an original version I'm afraid."

To get her hands on an original would be amazing, but she would make due with the version she had. It wasn't something to sneeze at either.

"As a child, I used to hear a tale from this book almost every night and I'm sure most of you remember hearing tales from it as well. There are many versions that have been translated and different covers and what not, but what we find inside is the same. A few of you have mentioned a few of the tales inside. Can you name the others?"
Emmy put her hand up - although muggleborn, she had purchased a copy of that very book not long ago...
"There's The Warlock's Hairy Heart, and Babbity Rabbity and Her Cackling Stump, and... Oh! The Wizard and The Hopping Pot professor!" She finished happily - at least she'd got one right...

Emily raised her hand, she wasn't sure if anyone had mentioned it yet, but she figured it wouldn't hurt to repeat it.

Christopher shyly raised his hand in the air. Coming from Muggle parents, he had never read all of these tales, but he'd read about many of them and found them..... interesting. "Well, there's Babbity Rabbity and Her Cackling Stump, The Wizard and the Hopping Pot, The Tale of the Three Brothers, The Fountain of Fair Fortune, and The Warlock's Hairy Heart, I believe."

Gee, he hoped those were right. Sometimes he wished they could be asked questions about fairytales he knew, like The Three Little Pigs, or Cinderella or something. But that was what Muggle Studies was for. Sigh.

"Ah. The copy my mother has is a Japanese translation so I did not recognize the book, though I am sure this is an older copy than the one we have at home. I wonder how he stories will be..." Cass is actually interested now and it shows, he grew up on the Japanese versions as well as several English and Japanese muggle tails. "The three brothers and The Wizard and the Hopping Pot or two of my favorites.

Cass thinks that sometime, sometimes, being a half blood is good.

Oooh Helena was definitely going to like this lesson!

Her hand shot in the air one more time. "Well there's The Wizard and the Hopping Pot, The Fountain of Fair Fortune, The Warlock's Hairy Heart, Babbitty Rabbitty and her Crackling Stump, and my favourite, The Tale of the Three Brothers." She loooved those tales. Hehe.

Seriously, she got it right. They were reading fairytales. Score! Grinning, K-Lee spoke up. "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot, The Fountain of Fair Fortune, The Warlocks Hairy Heart, Babbity Rabbity and her Cackling Stump and The Tale of the Three Brothers. My favourite was always The Fountain of Fair Fortune." K-Lee said, smiling as she remembered her old copy of the book.

K-Lee couldn't wait for storytime to start!

Luin listened as the teacher said they were going to be talking about The Tales of Beedle the Bard. She thought about the stories that she used to be read, she did especially love Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump. She smiled, remembering when her mom would read that to her. She then looked up and raised her hand, "There was the Warlock's Hairy Heart."

Kyle had been quiet most of the lesson, finally spoke up "Well two more are The Warlock's Hairy Heart and The Tale of the Three Brothers which some presume to be about the Peverell brothers. And some of those believers believe that Harry Potter is a part of that family line, the Peverell line that is.. She smiled, trying at-least to do a better job in classes this term than others.

Sitting with much comfort, Elle raised her hand and answered, "Some tales I know, Professor are 'The Tale of the Three Brothers', 'The Wizard and the Hopping Pot' and 'The Warlock's Hairy Heart' -- which my Mum loved sharing with me before I went to bed until I grew" she cleared her throat "much older," sharing her experience with the class.

Cass looked up from the doodles that she had been idly drawing when she heard the professor, along with many of her other classmates mention Tale of Beedle the Bard. Then she raised her hand and answered.

"Well, my most favorite was The Wizard and the Hopping Pot and the one that made.....the most impact on me was the Warlock's hairy heart"

The first story was amusing, but a bit scary how muggles forced the poor wizard to heal their children, while the second one was just plain gross

Maddie smiled. Her first points of the year! That must sound awful, but it wasn't her fault. She had only arrived two days ago, after all. Now... back to the lesson. Which stories were in it? She ought to know that, her father had read it to her every night until she was six or seven. She racked her brain for minute or two, and then put her hand up. 'There's, um, Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump, The Fountain of Fair Fortune, Grumble the Grubby Goat, The Tale of the Three Brothers, The Warlock's Hairy Heart and The Wizard and the Hopping Pot, Professor.' she said. She knew that wasn't all of them, but it would probably do. 'My favourite was always The Wizard and the Hopping Pot,' she added with a smile.
