As you enter the History of Magic classroom, you instantly hear music both muggle and wizard playing softly in the background. It is an upbeat set of songs.
The classroom is decorated with a huge Happy Birthday banner across the front of the room that is charmed to change from blue to yellow to red to green to alternating colors occasionally. Each time the color changes, the font of the words change as well.
Across the right side of the classroom is a long table divided into four sections. Each section has a table cloth with a crest of each house on it. So there is a blue tablecloth with the Ravenclaw crest, a red tablecloth with the Gryffindor crest, a green table with the Slytherin crest, and a yellow table with the Hufflepuff crest. Each table contains plates, silverware, cups, and napkins that match the color of the tablecloth. Also there is a punch bowl full of a drink in the same shades. In the center of each table is a cake decorated with the crest of the house.
The middle of the classroom is divided into four different sections. Each section holds tables covered in similar tablecloths. Above each set of tables, streamers of the house shade are hanging above the cluster of table. A charm as been set that makes fireworks of the house shade pop occasionally about each cluster. Every once and a while confetti in the house colors explodes overhead and flutters down to the tables only to disappear a few minutes later.
The professor has written a message on the board that is enchanted to scribble out in her handwritting and stay for a few minutes and then erase and start again:
Quote:
Welcome to History of Magic: Lesson One!
Please find your house colors and have a seat at one of the tables in that cluster. But don't get too comfy, because we may be moving around.
Professor Gemma Cerulean
The Professor can be found at the door shaking everyone's hands as they enter the door.
OOC: Please come in and have a seat. You may chat but keep it to a minimum. Remember that when class starts, you need to cut out chatting. Also don't post yourself coming in late, Gemma hates late arrivals and will not give you a warning, she will deduct points from the first time you are late.

11. List of Events Mentioned
Final Thought Question: Do you think History will repeat itself here at Hogwarts? Or has it repeated itself here at Hogwarts?
Raising her hand, TJ spoke clearly and confidently "TJ Michaels sixth year Slytherin. Hogwarts was founded about a thousand years ago, but no one knows the precise date."
Hateya had no idea how old the school was, though she reasoned it had to be at least fifty because her parents had attended. Then everyone started saying a thousand and she looked around at the walls; it was holding up pretty good!
Really though, as she swung her feet back and forth under her desk, she wondered when professors were going to realize that the more stuff there was to look at, the less likely she'd be to pay attention to the actual content of the lesson? And she was sure she wasn't the only one.
Gemma walked slowly to the front of the classroom smiling and taking small steady breaths. She hoped the students couldn't tell that she was nervous about her first lesson.
When she reached the front of the room, she turned towards the class and said in her sweet voice, "Alright, let's go ahead and get started..." she said with a little nod up and down.
She spanned the room quickly and didn't see anyone asleep...yet...that was a good sign...right?..."Well, before we get started, I would like to formally introduce myself." she said as she pushed a stray blonde bang behind her ear. "I'm Professor Gemma Cerulean. This is my first year teaching at Hogwarts and I am very excited to try to make History of Magic a little bit more fun then it has been in the past...or atleast that's my goal for the term." she took a breath and then continued. "I am a Hogwarts graduate and I am happy to back at the school to help share my love of History." she said with a little shrug of her shoulders. "I'm excited to meet you all and I encourage you to come visit me at my office anytime."...and now on to the lesson.
With a flick of her wand, the fireworks and confetti all went off at once over each of the tables, "Welcome to the first History of Magic lesson of the term. Today we are celebrating something amazing!" she said blowing some confetti off of her lip. "Today's lesson may be a review for many of you but I think it's important to always start the term off with a history that is very important to every wizard and witch." she smiled at the students...okay enough with the build up.
With another flick of her wand, the muggle Happy Birthday song started playing and the Happy Birthday banner started changing colors crazily. "Today we are celebrating the Birthday of Hogwarts!!!" she said excitedly as more fireworks went off and candy started falling from the ceiling.
"So, let's get started....can anyone tell me approximately how old Hogwarts is?" she asked flicking her wand to make all of the commotion stop. "Make sure you raise your hand before you answer...O and please say your name and house before your answer so I can start putting a face with a name!"
OOC: Remember to not edit your posts please! O and please say your charrie's name and house before you answer.
Fee squealed in excitement as the confetti and the fireworks were going off.How amazing was that?!The first lesson of history of magic started pretty good.And as candy was falling from above,the teacher had the blonde on her side. Seriously,with candy you always had her on your side.
But now to the lesson.With some candy in one hand the third year raised the other."Feenella Schwarzberg,Slytherin professor",she said,"Hogwarts is over 1000 years old."Thinkiong about this made the girl realize how old this house actually was,being a part of it was so amazing.There was so much history to it and fro two years Fee was now a part of it.Wow.

Kimalia wasn't sure of the correct answer, so raising her hand along with many others smiling. "Kimalia of the Slytherin house, and while I'm not quite positive on the exact year Hogwarts was built, I would assume since it was in the 10th-11th century when the founders were alive between 1011 to 1111 years."
"Yes well good day to you as well." Gemma said to the girl and then restrained herself from yelling at the girl for shouting in her class...it was just too full to be so loud.

Birthday of Hogwarts? Seriously? Today, as in today? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! Zara grinned as wide as she could manage. She was happy that the professor had thought of telling this to them, Zara had not the faintest knowledge that it was the celebration of Hogwarts...who-knows-how-many years.
When was Hogwarts formed? Probably over a thousand years ago, that's for sure. Her grandfather's grandfather's grandfather probably studied in Hogwarts. Raising her hand, she said, "Danielle Zara Griffiths, Gryffindor. Professor, my parents have told me that it was founded over a thousand years ago, though I'm not sure of the exact year."

hmm. How old was Hogwarts? Finlay probably should've known this. Seeing as he was a seventh year and all. But...he kinda of knew when it ws supposed to have been built. "I'm Finlay Carmicheal." Perfect Headboy. "Ravenclaw 7th year....and Hogwarts was built at around 1000AD. So that would make it quite oldd....over a 1000 years old, considering that we are in 2074 now...?" Yup. He was totally cool.

History of Magic wasn't a bad lesson. Not too difficult, but not the easiest. A good balance. The third year had been quietly sitting in the middle of the classroom, twiddelling his quill through his fingers. Oh, class was starting now...
Birthday of Hogwarts??! He had no idea!
Upon hearing the first question, Jamie paused to think then raised his hand, "Jamie Keaton, Slytherin... Erm, is it about... 1,000 years?" Approximately, of course. Jamie knew no dates to the exact day and year.

Before he could say anything to Ellie, however, the professor had begun the class. So she was new. She wouldn't know that Tiberius hadn't been around... and perhaps that was a good thing.
Listening to her explanation and question, he frowned. It should be review for him, but so much of his history the past few years had been French. When and why Beauxbatons was founded. Nothing about Hogwarts.
And so he sat and listened. His guess of over 1000 years seeming to be accurate as he listened to others.

I'm a Ravenclaw," she introduced herself with a smile, feeling a little silly, before continuing."I think Hogwarts is about one thousand sixty years old, give or take ten or twenty?"

At least that explained all the confetti and everything else and... there was confetti in Helena's hair. And she didn't like it. Not in her hair! As for the question... The girl raised her hand. "It has to be over one thousand years old." Most probably. Buuuut she was forgetting something. "Oh," she added quickly. "My name is Helena Hopkins. Slytherin." She was grinning now. Because she was a baaaad little snake. Hehe.

She raised her hand." I think it would be as Arabella said over 1000 years old, probably about 1100 or close to that tobe precise if we take into account the years following the downfall of Voldemort and Voldemortist."

It actually came as a shock to him that he knew the answer. Or at least he thought he knew it. He raised his hand anyways. "Isn't it like really old? Over 1000 years, I think." he said. Ahem. OLD HOUSE, OLD HOUSE!

'Hello Professor,' Daisy smiled, she had already met the teacher, and she seemed really nice. 'I like the room.' she added, sitting down next to Oakey and looking around at the drinks and cake.
Hello Professor, Oakey greet the Professor properly and sat down at the Hufflepuff table. Still thinking THE CAKE IS A LIE![/s]
'Hi, Oakey,' Daisy grinned, taking a bottle of ketchup out of her bag If half the teachers were insane - why couldn't she be? 'Yes, I like cake with ketchup.' she laughed before Oakey could laugh.
'Isn't it thousands of years old, but nobody is exactly sure?' asked Daisy, her hand raised. She was not sure that it was right but she wanted to try in this class, and the best way to start is answering questions.

Gemma smiled as hands went up all over the classroom and almost all of them were correct....well that's a good start a class even if it was a simple question. "Good job everyone! It isn't exactly known when the founders started Hogwarts, but it was around 1100 years ago. It's kind of amazing to think that Hogwarts has been around for that long and that we, as a whole, have overcome so many struggles and tribulations along the way." she focused back in realizing that she was kind of being a History nut for a minute.
She pointed her wand to each table as she spoke the next things. When her wand was pointed towards a table, a clear holographic crest of the house would appear over the table and remained over the table.
"Now we all know that Hogwarts was founded by four extraordinary wizards/witches." she flicked her wand towards the red table, "Godric Gryffindor" the holographic crest of the house appeared and spun slowly over the table. She pointed it towards the blue table and a crest appeared. "Rowena Ravenclaw" She repeated the process at the other two tables, "Helga Hufflepuff." and "Salazar Slytherin."
"Each wizard was known for their amazing talents and successes within the wizarding world and were known as pioneers of their time, which was a very hectic time, but we will get to that later on....if we have time..." she flicked her wand the crests stopped moving but were still their see-through versions.
She turned the wand towards the big and long board behind her and flicked it. Instantly the board was divided evenly into the four colors of the houses. "I have charmed the board to keep track of your responses." she said and then she said each house name again and the board magically began writing out the name of each house in the professor's handwritting over the appropriate color division. "In order to help it keep track of your answers, make sure you always say your name followed by your house and then your answer." she said with a little nod and one final flick.
She glanced over at the long table covered in decorations against the wall, "Before I ask my next question, please feel free to have a drink." she flicked her wand and instantly the cups spread out across the room and landed in front of each student followed by the correctly colored punch bowl that floated around the room filling up cups. "I hope you like the drinks, they are muggle flavored Kool-aid in the color of your house. I think the flavors are Cherry, Blueberry, Pineapple, and Apple."
She turned her complete attention towards the class. "Now I want you to share one thing that you know about the founder of your house, such as appearance, where they were born, what they were known for, skills, artifacts related to them or your house, attributes, etc. Let's make sure to stay away from hearsay or rumors, please." she said glancing out at the students. "Please try to only answer one thing so that everyone can have a chance to answer."
OOC: Please remember to post only one answer to the question. Also say your house and your name before you answer. And don't edit your posts please! I will be back later but remember eventhough I'm not here Gemma is here. No fighting or chatting. Thanks!
Dude. The Pensevies aint got nothing on you. Aslan is the God
OOOOOH. Drink. Amy summoned one to her table and took a sip. It was, surprisingly nice, though she'd of prefered a lemonade. Still *shrug*
OOOOH. Amy knew this one. She really actually properly knew it. Feeling proper proud she hadn't shouted out the answer-
Trivia Time
TEACUP
Woops. I mean, uh, Voldemort she mumbled the word used one of her tea cups as a horcrux. As stated in the new edition of Hogwarts. A history. When she'd skimmed it, she nodded, blushing a rather unfetching shade of beetroot red still with her hand raised
Still. At least she knew something. Oh yeah. She kept forgetting her name, and I'm Amy Samson. Fourth year. Excedingly cool she nodded grinning, and uh, um. HOUSE. Puff. Yeah. I mean. Hufflepuff. Merlin she sounded like an idiot with a tied up tounge. Embarassing

Simon raised his hand. "Simon Leonarder De Simpson, Hufflepuff, fourth year." Simon smiled. "Want to know anything else?" Simon wondered why the Professor wanted too know so much about them. "Anyway Helga Hufflepuff was a female witch who help create Hogwarts." SImon decided he would say the first thing that came into his head.

Kurumi didn't need being told twice to give details about Godric Gryffindor. Not only had she read about him in several books, but he was also the first and only Chocolate Frog card to have received. Which had been a happy accident during Transfiguration last term.
"Um, Kurumi Hollingberry, Gryffindor," she repeated from earlier. "Godric Gryffindor is the origional owner of the sorting hat and is the one who figured out how to charm the hat to continue sorting students even long after he and the other Founders had passed away."

Well, this class surely wasn't boring. How Alex could keep a clear mind when there were colours everywhere, Slytherin's crest having above them and drinks being served was behind him. But as he said, he even amazed himself sometimes. And now it was time to plock some house points since he hadn't exactly helped Slytherin last year *cough*.
He raised his hand without really thinking over an answer before he did. "Alex, Sly-" Wait, he should probably be formal with the professor. Staarting over. "Alexander Reed, Slytherin house." he corrected himself before carrying on. "Well the founder of Slytherin was Salazar Slytherin," as she had already mentioned... "And he was a parseltongue and he was very... Very strictonwhogotsortedintohishouse." he mumbled. He didn't really want to go in on that. Alex wasn't a huge fan of Salazar Slytherin and the stereotypes that went with him. Slytherin had changed after that.
Gemma smiled as hands went up all over the classroom and almost all of them were correct....well that's a good start a class even if it was a simple question. "Good job everyone!

She pointed it towards the blue table and a crest appeared. "Rowena Ravenclaw" She repeated the process at the other two tables, "Helga Hufflepuff." and "Salazar Slytherin."
"Each wizard was known for their amazing talents and successes within the wizarding world and were known as pioneers of their time, which was a very hectic time, but we will get to that later on....if we have time..." she flicked her wand the crests stopped moving but were still their see-through versions.
She turned the wand towards the big and long board behind her and flicked it. Instantly the board was divided evenly into the four colors of the houses. "I have charmed the board to keep track of your responses." she said and then she said each house name again and the board magically began writing out the name of each house in the professor's handwriting over the appropriate color division. "In order to help it keep track of your answers, make sure you always say your name followed by your house and then your answer." she said with a little nod and one final flick.
She glanced over at the long table covered in decorations against the wall, "Before I ask my next question, please feel free to have a drink." she flicked her wand and instantly the cups spread out across the room and landed in front of each student followed by the correctly colored punch bowl that floated around the room filling up cups. "I hope you like the drinks, they are muggle flavored Kool-aid in the color of your house. I think the flavors are Cherry, Blueberry, Pineapple, and Apple."
She turned her complete attention towards the class. "Now I want you to share one thing that you know about the founder of your house, such as appearance, where they were born, what they were known for, skills, artifacts related to them or your house, attributes, etc. Let's make sure to stay away from hearsay or rumors, please." she said glancing out at the students. "Please try to only answer one thing so that everyone can have a chance to answer."

Arabella-Marie raised her hand and said "Arabella-Marie Kingston i am a gryffindor and Godric Gryffindor lived in Godric's Hollow" it was the first peace of information that had come into her head
Gemma smiled as hands went up all over the classroom and almost all of them were correct....well that's a good start a class even if it was a simple question. "Good job everyone! It isn't exactly known when the founders started Hogwarts, but it was around 1100 years ago. It's kind of amazing to think that Hogwarts has been around for that long and that we, as a whole, have overcome so many struggles and tribulations along the way." she focused back in realizing that she was kind of being a History nut for a minute.

Okay. This professor seemed to be pretty cool. Well, what did Viola know about Helga Hufflepuff? Not much, honestly. Raising her hand, she said, "Hello Professor. I'm Viola and I'm a Huffie." She grinned proudly. "Well, Helga was born in the 10'th century." she continued, hoping she wasn't wrong. "And, she was supposed to have been just and fair." Anyway, that's what her cousin told her.

Raising her hand again, TJ thought back to what she'd read about Salazar Slytherin. Waiting her turn to be called on, she tried to decide which of the characteristics she knew about him she wanted to say, "TJ Michaels, sixth year Slytherin. Salazar Slytherin selected his students according to cunning, ambition, and Blood purity."
Was that what the professor wanted? Or would she prefer something more like that he spoke Parseltongue? Well she thought something that many others may not say would be a better response.
Serena placed her hand up "I'm Serena Fawcett Professor, and I'm in Ravenclaw" Pretty obvious seeing as she was sitting on the Ravenclaw table but anyway... "Rowena Ravenclaw came from Scotland didn't she?"

Oooh. He knew this too. Finlay grinned, as he raised his hand again. "Finn Carmicheal, Ravenclaw." Now he had to think of something awesome. "Rowena Ravenclaw had this Diadem, like a tiara sort of thing. Anyway. Voldermort made it into a horcrux, and at the battle of hogwarts it was destroyed by cursed fire...which is pretty epic." Yup. Very very epic.

Kimalia was satisfied that she was correct. "Name one thing about Salazar Slytherrin.. Well, of course everyone will say he's a parseltounge." Kimalia tapped her feet whilst thinking of all the things her father spoke about him.
After a few moments, she raised her hand. "Kimalia of Slytherin house, and Salazar Slytherin selected his students that were pure-blood, cunning, and had driven ambition."
Gemma smiled as hands went up all over the classroom and almost all of them were correct....well that's a good start a class even if it was a simple question. "Good job everyone!

Fee listened to the professor carefully.So they should tell something about the professor of their own house right?!Oh well there was much about Salazar Slytherin."Feenella Schwarzberg,Slytherin",the blonde raised her hand,"Salazar Slytherin was a parselmouth and he had a very high opinion of purebloods and thought that they were the only ones worth to be thaught at Hogwarts."
Raising her hand Stella said, "Stella Swan. From Ravenclaw." She began twirling the tip of her fair around her finger, which is a good thing because it shows that she is concentrating, "Rowena Ravenclaw was born in Scotland, and she is described as a very beautiful woman with long, black straight hair. She was known for being very intelligent and wise like the sorting hat said, and errr..." Said Stella trying to remember another fact, "and she created the moving stairways in Hogwarts." From did she know all this stuff.
I'm just one of those pretty little liars... | | I'm held down in this starless city...

APPLE JUICE! Helena loved it!
See? Another good reason to be a Slytherin.
Buuut back to the lesson. "Helena Hopkins. Slytherin," she said again, just as the woman wanted, as she raised her hand. "Salazar Slytherin was an accomplished Legilimens." And ugly too. Hideous.

'Awesome,' Zara thought as the holographic crest of Gryffindor, Godric Gryffindor, appeared at their table. She grinned, she was liking Professor Cerulean. Even though her name was a place in Pokemon, Cerulean City. Hihi, Zara loved that show, making her like the professor even more. This would be a fun class.
She watched as all of the crests from the other houses appeared too and she wrote down notes of the names in her notes even though she knew them by heart.
Just as she thought things couldn't be more amazing. Zara's eyes brightened as her eyes saw the board behind their professor. Colors of their houses began to light as she said the names. 'Alright! I love this class! Gee, and I thought History was boring before.' Her grin widened.
Then they were served drinks. 'Heheh, this was so awesome.' Zara completely loved this class. Now it was one of her favorites! She took the cup full of Cherry-flavoured Kool-aid and had a sip. YUMYUM!
Raising her hand, she said, "Profe--" Then she remembered that they had to say their name first and house for the points to be counted. Correcting herself, she said, "Danielle Zara Griffiths, Gryffindor." And watched as the board showed with the professor's handwriting, "Gryffindor" in the red portion of the board.
"Godric Gryffindor was the most accomplished dueler of his time."
She turned her complete attention towards the class.

Witsy greatly appreciated the efforts of this party and made for an excellent start for this class. She didn't know what to expect, but this was well cool. When the drink appeared in front of her, she took a sip and set it back down in front of her.
Oh this was excellent, she thought. She raised her hand, "Wisteria Hartly, Gryffindor. It is believed that Godric Gryffindor was related to the Cornish Royal Family." She loved the middle ages anything about it fascinated her.
Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.
Hmmmm Helga Hufflepuff. Well stood up She was born in Wales before Oakey sat back down he remember to say his name and house Oakey Gunter of Hufflepuff. He took his seat and had a sip of his punch.
