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.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*Lesson Quick Links*~ (Will be updated as we go so you can find the Professor's links quickly and easily)
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?

This was easy for Kimalia, as she memorized all the tables that were a certain color. She picked up her half-full cup of koolaid and the utensils and her plate and moved to the table that use to be sat for Gryffindor. She got herself comfortable in the right seat somewhat sadden to be away from her housemates.
Gavin took his plate, his cup and his silverware and sat at Hufflepuff table. He looked around and hoped somebody he didn't know, about his age, would join him... Or maybe he'll be lucky and have one of the students from the other houses he know sit next to him.
She glanced at the board one more time and shook her head in approval. There were enough traits up there to share her point.
“Thank you everyone for helping out with this. We have some amazing attributes and traits from each house.” she said glancing over her shoulder one more time.
SPOILER!!: ”List of Traits and Attributes By Houses”
Then with a flick of her wand the colors that divided the four sections disappeared and all that were left were just the traits.
SPOILER!!: ”List of Traits and Attributes in big clump”
She turned back to the students and with a flick of her wand the list was alphabetized so that you couldn’t really tell where the traits had been before. It was just a list of words.
“Okay now we have just a list of attributes and traits that Hogwarts students have. Glance at that list and try to find five words that describe you.” she said glancing over her shoulder.
“Welcome to Hogwarts! Where we are a group of students working to further our education in the Wizarding World. And if you’ll notice many of us, including myself, have traits and attributes from other houses and that’s what makes Hogwarts and the work of our founders so amazing.” she said looking at the student’s faces trying to see if they understood her.
Then with a flick of her wand, everything in the room turned into a deep purple shade.

'Five words that describe me.' Should they answer that or keep it to themselves? There were a lot, guess Zara decided to keep it to herself.
Zara watched as the whole place turned to purple, meaning the walls were down. No competition between houses, just plain and simple Hogwarts. She grinned, really, she liked this professor. Then she watched again as everyone began to stand up, with their plate, fork, and knife and move to another place. Hope they don't use the knife for some other purpose like pranking.
She herself stood up and walked over to the Hufflepuffs looking for Nessie, Viola and Oakey. So far, they were the only Hufflepuffs she remembered and the rest of her friends were from Gryffindor, except for Hannah from Ravenclaw and Mordred from Slytherin.
This was easy for Kimalia, as she memorized all the tables that were a certain color. She picked up her half-full cup of kool aid and the utensils and her plate and moved to the table that use to be sat for Gryffindor.

Hey I'm Hannah Malfoy she said with a smile.So what year and house are you in I wasn't paying attention to the people at the other tables.

Ooh, purple.
The third year studied the whole list of attributes and eventually chose the ones that best described him. He answered very honestly, baring in mind, then wrote them down.
Sit with another house?! YIPEEE. A perfect task for someone who lacked in Snake pride to a great extent. He picked up his plate and stuff into his arms and stood up from his desk, but stood still. Where was he even going? Hufflepuffs. Jamie wanted to sit next to a Hufflepuff, please. But how to get their attention? Hold up another sign? No... he didn't have time for sign making.
"Any Hufflepuff wanna Slytherin pal?" He said relatively loud. He had a weird feeling that the badgers would ignore him the moment he said 'Slytherin'. Which was a shame. Anyway, he still waited there, looking hopeful and all smiley.

Only five words? Savannah found ten already!
But at last, Savannah eliminated to only five traits, or rather, random words. Cunning, pride, open-minded, resourcefulness, and recklessness. She can tell that most of the traits belonged to Salazar Slytherin. Goodie.
Sit at the other table beside someone other than your house? Ahh... And did she say take your plates and cups? She looked around and saw,-sure enough-everyone had plates filled with food and cups with drinks in them. Savannah wants something to eat too! She hastily picked up a plate and set some food on to it. Then taking a cup and filling it with pumkin juice. There!
Savannah took her plate and cup and sat at the table between a Gryffindor and a Ravenclaw. Happy?? No green people anywhere near her. HAPPY??

Nika scanned the list to find traits that describe her like the professor said to do. There's loyalty, nerve, creativity, kindness, non-judgemental, caring, brave, friendly, peacful, recklessness, and a lot more. Hehe. How's she supposed to choose just five!?!
Nika's mouth started watering when she saw the cake! YUMMMM! CAKE! Nika wants cake. Nika wants cake NOW. YUMMM CAKE! Hope it's chocolate...
Okay switching seats? Alrightie. "Anyone wanna sit with me?" She asked to a large portion of the room. This way she wouldn't have to choose.

"Hi Hannah, I'm Kimalia," Kimalia smiled back. "I'm a first year in Slytherrin and you?" Kimalia took another sip of her kool-aid drink. "This is such a great party isn't it?"
Riley looked at the list of traits that were on the board and did not see rich or awesome on there...hmm. He was tempted to ask about them but didn't feel it would be awesome to point out to a Professor your awesomeness, those things were best to be figured out. So he found five that he thought were attributes he had: 'cleverness, cunning, good hair good looks, pride, and nerve.' Yep those sounded about right.
Then everything went isanely PURPLE!!! ZOMG!!!! Riley wasn't sure if things really had changed color or if his eyes were having a mini-freak out but he didn't like it. Oh the Professor had done that? Crazy lady, about gave him a heart attack. He grabbed his things and left the Gryffindor table to sit at a random table with two seats open beside him. 'Ok a raven and a snake need to sit with me now,' he thought 'NOOO PUFFS please Merlin!' he said hoping he would not have to experience the worst.

Fee listened to the professor and smiled at her idea.It was a great idea and chatting in class was always the best.After all they really mwere a part of the history now and thinking about that was kinda exciting since there has been so much going on at Hogwarts before.Maybe they would be in history books one day too?You never knee what could happen to you.

Looking around for someone to sit with the blonde searched for someone she knew or for someone that looked friendly.Actually it was a really nice idea to get to know more people oput of other houses.House rivalry had died long ago and that was the best thing that could have ever happened to Hogwarts.Everyone should be friends.
With her things in hands the blonde noticed Nika there sitting alone and smiled approaching her new friend."Mind if i join you?",the girl beamed.It was good to have friends in other houses so this task didnt cause any problems at all.hehe.

" May I sit with all of you" Willaim asked Kimalia. " I am Hannah's brother and Nika's friend" Willaim told kimalia. " My name is Willaim montcenaggio aka Starr" he introduced himself to Kimalia. " if we add a HufflePuff to the table, it would be really cool" Willaim expalined to all of them.

They had to what? Wait...really? First she puts a type of dessert in the room that was too sweet in her opinion, then waving those muggle drinks in their faces which made Evelyn less than pleased, and NOW she expects her to sit with people that weren't from her own house?
Not to mention this whole place became the color of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor combined. Eh. Sighing dramatically, the Slytherin stood up and lazily grabbed the plate, fork, knife, and cup and looked around. Actually, it wouldn't be so bad. She knew people from other houses. For example...
RILEY!
We are snagging this seat next to you. Like...RIGHT NOW.
"Hi Hannah, I'm Kimalia," Kimalia smiled back. "I'm a first year in Slytherrin and you?" Kimalia took another sip of her kool-aid drink. "This is such a great party isn't it?"
Yeah its sure is she said with a smile.I'm a thrid year ravenclaw she said with a smile.So what bands do you like.

Alex normally would NEVER sit next to a Slytherin, because...well, they were all MEAN to him. Or had been mean to him at least...they were starting to get better. He was meeting some nicer snakes so he wasn't as against that house as he had been last year. That was why, when he noticed a Slytherin was ASKING for a Hufflepuff to sit next to him, well he was totally going to take that bait! It wasn't every day a Slytherin WANTED to make friends with a Hufflepuff. Sierra was probably going to faint or something when she saw this. Hehe.
"I'll sit by you!" Alex said with a smile, grabbing his stuff and sitting down next to the guy. "I'm Alex, by the way," he added. Had to polite and introduce himself and stuff.

Carter looked at the empty seat to the right of him. No one had sat next to him at the beginning of class (which he had no idea why - window seats were awesome). So he wasn't planning on moving. Someone should sit next to him.
He pushed the seat back next to him in an effort to attract a non-Gryffindor.
Once that was done he busied himself with looking at the board. He hated classifying himself. Why couldn't there be words like 'muggleborn' or 'quidditch lover' on the board? Then this assignment would be easy.

"I'm into a lot of popular muggle artists," Kimalia answered back. "Like Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, the list goes on and on." Kimalia sipped more of her koolaid.

Kimalia smiled kindly. "I don't mind, though I'm not sure if more than one person from the same house can be at the same table." Kimalia thought for a moment. "She did say we can't sit next to the same housemate, but nothing about sitting across or 2 seats away from them.." Kimalia shook her head. "Actually, you know what, sure, have a seat!" This could be interesting.

She smile I play In a band so did my older sister she said with a smile.Yes William is my younger brother i was adopted two years ago.I like AC/DC,Story of year,Three days grace,and much more.
Gemma smiled at the students moving around and mingling with the other students. She said over the commotion, "O the cakes, I almost forgot!" with a few flicks of her wand the now purple cakes all seperated into individual pieces as if something had cut them.
"Please have a piece. Each cake has four flavors for you to choose from: Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, and Marble." she said reaching for a plate herself and then sat down at the nearest table with the other students.

Simon winked as he went next to the Professor. "I'll sit with you at your table then." Simon smiled the Professor hadn't said that wasn't allowed.
Gemma was startled at the Hufflepuff's request. She smiled and said, "Well Mr. De Simpson, you do have me there, I didn't specify directions for sitting by me." she said with a little shake of her head left and right and wide eyes, "but sure have a seat by me....would you like some cake?" she said with a smile at the mischievous boy.
OOC: Have fun moving and mingling and eating cake. We will start in a little while talking more in depth about Hogwarts. Have fun but remember Gemma is still here keeping an eye out so don't get out of control.
Only one minute? Eino gathered his stuff very quickly, then took a plate, knife, fork, and cup as instructed by the professor and scanned the room for non-Ravenclaw student. It didn't take him too long to spot Kurumi, and no time at all to realize he would want to work with her. It would probably be harder for him to find other Ravenclaws to work with. Other than Hugo, he didn't know many others as close, but he recognized most of them. He walked up to Kurumi and placed his things on the table beside her. "Hello! I wonder what she will have us do." He said as he patiently waited.

Kimalia familiar of AC/DC nodded along with hearing the other bands she mentioned. "Great taste, where you both adopted into the same family or just you?"

Zara grinned and took a slice of Vanilla cake. Alright! this was the life. Learning is interactive and fun. Hihi.
After taking the slice of cake, Zara wondered where to sit. She took her quills, ink, parchment, and textbook and put them all in her bag. Standing up, she searched for anywhere to sit at. "Anybody wanna be friends with a Gryffindor there?"
Hoping someone would reply, Zara waited standing there as she watched all the others already have somewhere to sit and someone to talk to.

Then with a flick of her wand, everything in the room turned into a deep purple shade. From the table cloths on all of the tables to the cakes to the cups to eatery to the fireworks to the confetti, all were a dark shade of Hogwarts Purple. Instantly the disappearing confetti started falling again and the fireworks all popped in purple.
“I want each of you to see our History of Hogwarts not so much as the history of the houses but as a history of all of us. So, here’s what I want you to do....Grab your plate and your fork and knife and your cup and move to another table. You can not sit by anyone from your own house. You have one minute to find a new spot.” she paused for a minute to let this sink into their brains. ”Okay ready get set GO!” she said loudly waiting for the students to scramble through the confetti and fireworks. "Once everyone is seated, we will start cutting up the different cakes." she said as she felt her stomach rumble.

Ginny had only been in the class for a few minutes, but she already loved it. When she went to Muggle school, History was one of her favorite subjects and she couldn't wait to learn about Wizard history.
She loved all the colors, and how the first class was almost like a party.

Ginny noticed a Ravenclaw that looked about her age sitting at the Hufflepuff table.
Taking a seat next to him, Ginny smiled. "Hey, my name's Ginny. Are you a first year too?"
