As you walk down the first floor corridor headed towards the History of Magic classroom, the faint sounds of music can be heard coming from that direction. It's not all that loud and seems more for the benefit of Professor Glendower as she is putting herself in the proper mindset for class.
Outside the classroom door hangs a large, ornate sign with the message, Make an Entrance. It is the same sign that hung outside the room last year, but she has written in her own flowery cursive the word Respectfully underneath it as she realized that some students needed the reminder. She was all about creativity and individual interpretation, but it was important to be nice too!
Once inside the classroom, you'll find Professor Glendower who might be singing along to the music as she happily dances through the rows of chairs, placing a chocolate frog on each desk. Welcome to History of Magic!

Cool beard? A smile threatened to break out on his face "THANKS-" Er- wait. The Slytherin founder wouldn't act like that right? Pushing back the grin that wanted to escaped he GLARED at her. Salazar would glare right? Huh? Doing his BEST his lowered his voice just slightly. "Thank you-I find it very-uh....academic." A small giggle escaped his lips.
"Skills?" PSSH. Kyroh lifted his head higher, as if trying to look down on Maddie the guitar playing person. "What a ridiculous question. It's people like you-" POINTED FINGER. "-that I will not allow around my presence."
.....Was that too mean? He didn't think Slytherin would be that friendly but....."Unless you have talents of course-" He gazed at the stringed instrument that Maddie was strumming. "What are you playing there?"
Kyroh glaring had to be the highlight of Maddie's day, it just did. The look just didn't suit his face at all and the brunette wanted badly to giggle too but she kept it together, keeping her expression relaxed. She was Herman Wintringham, man. She was cool. Or something. Oh and all the hair, she swept it over one shoulder all nonchalantly calling attention to it without really showing that she wanted to call attention to it. She could TOTALLY be a wrock star.
Arrogance. That's what he was portraying, right? And he was being selective too. Maddie wanted very badly to take notes about each of these things to help her with the guessing but she doubted Herman did much else than strum his lute and go on tour. Instead she committed the things to memory and continued listening.
"What kind of talents, dude?" Maddie as Herman was mildly interested and casually plucked at her makeshift instrument again, looking as if she didn't have a care in the world. All about the music, she was. "This little baby is my lute." She cast a loving glance to the thing and tried very hard not to laugh. Musicians and their instruments, yeah? "Played some great gigs in my day." Was she playing older Herman? What was she even saying anymore? Merlin, she really disliked acting.
Now that she was all dressed the part Hady just needed to find someone to work with. Sighing softly the young girl looked around the room for someone that was alone and possibly was looking for someone to work with as well.
Hady scratched at her cheek lightly where the white beard was rubbing against her skin. Maybe she didn't need the wig and beard? Surely someone would know who she was just by the bright robes she wore and glasses. If they didn't maybe the lemon drop candies she held in her hand would be clue enough.
Ooooh there was classmate whose card she could guess! Norah stumbled her way over to the girl, who couldn't be older than a firstie, and waved a cheerful hello. She cast a critical eye over her costume. Hmmmm. The girl was wearing violently orange robes that clashed horribly with the long white beard and wig she was wearing. As if that weren't a big enough giveaway, she was wearing a pair of spectacles and holding what looked like little yellow candies. Lemon drops, of course. Norah grinned at the firstie, and said "You wouldn't be Dumbledore, would you?" She had about a thousand of THAT card, and everyone knew Dumbledore. Duh. The Hufflepuff held her hand out to the younger girl and said, "I'm Norah. Do you want to guess mine?" She twirled around and began to act out flying on a broomstick, combined with some swings of her bat. Shouldn't be too hard, right? She wasn't sure if this little one was into Quidditch.

The only difference was that she felt like she didn’t need to advertise what she’d done. Why she was important and people should know who she was portraying. Of course, she was important by herself, and being ignored was starting to annoy her.
"What an.....odd beastling you are." Came the comment before anything else. Maleficent looked at the child parading about in the hood. "And just what are you meant to be? Little Red Riding Hood? Last I heard she'd taken the wolf on a run around." Annoying little child she was, walking through people's forests all willy nilly, picking flowers that didn't belong to her just because her grandmother happened to be sick. Well did it ever occur to her no one gave a rat's hat about the dying old fool?
Maleficent twirled her card a few times, critically taking apart the girl's outfit. "I'd have to spot you with freckles to make it work if this was what you were trying but tell me, how does a girl like Red get on these famous cards if I haven't??" It was perhaps the biggest insult she'd gotten since arriving and she wasn't sure how many more she could take so lightly!!
One day these Peasants would pay.

And what...indeed...was this....?
"You mean to tell me someone spun around a few times and got a face on a card as well??? What is this injustice??" Once again the Dark Queen did not recognize whoever was being imitated but it was no wonder; she didn't know any of these people to begin with.
When would they start showing faces she KNEW?

now he had to find some props and clothing to wear for this dude, hopefully people could figure out who he was quickly, maybe if he carries around some candy as well it might help. Looking around he spotted a white wig so he quickly ran over to it and put it on, tying the hair back neatly so it looked like old man's hair instead of old women hair, ahahaha.
now he needed a mustachio in white, rummaging around he found one and stuck it on his face, now he needed to find a hat and a multicoloured suit, could he possibly go up to Professor Flamsteed's room and borrow one of his suits. Laughing he founded something that looked like what he needed and he quickly put it on.
he didn't know what the dude sounded like but he put on a thicker accent and walked around with a bag of candy in his hand.
Puck quickly donned some protective Quidditch gear after transfiguring her school uniform into a Quidditch uniform…really, she looked the part. With her arms, legs, and hands covered she pulled on a giant pair of goggles and placed them above her head…a quaffle tucked under her arm for effect…and maybe a broom was needed?
With a quick pout she fluuuuuuuuuufed and ruffled her hair to make it look all windswept. NOW who was she going to work with?
As Kace saw Puck made it to class, he realized he could work with her. He wondered if she could guess his? I mean she would have a laugh seeing him in his monocle, his top hat, cane and a winged horse. But as he read more information on his dude he was portraying, he was credited with creating a sport that combined elements of polo and Quidditch. It was played on winged horses instead of brooms. That was pretty impressive. He noticed a dude was near him and he looked familiar but he couldn't pin point his name. He would worry about it later.
"Hey Puck!" he called out so he could get his attention. He knew her character just by her wig and ball. "Can I guess you are the famous quidditch star Joscelind Wadcock?" he grinned. His quidditch information was unreal sometimes. Plus the Puldimere United kind of gave it away for him. "But can you guess what I am?" he asked playing with his cane and flying horse plushie.

Now that she had her person sorted out, Lux needed to wear a costume to play the part. This was always so much fun because she got to pretend to be another person.
Digging through the costumes, she found a red shirt and pulled it on. Red for Gryffindor. Too bad she couldn't find anything gold, but it was what it was. Finding a brown wig, she pulled it over her head and added a fake moustache and beard also in brown. It tickled and she wondered if real beards were like that. She would have to ask Bay that some time.
Next, she added a fake sword and her costume was done. Time to play the game. Walking over to Bay, she held the fake sword out. "Give me all your candy or I'll poke you." Juuuust teasing. She wanted to guess with him was all. Smiling, she adjusted her beard a little.

Lute? Who played a lute? Lute-ers. Musicians. So that meant that Maddie had to be a musician right?? As she swept her hair (that wasn't HERS) over her shoulders Kyroh blinked, confused, but quickly shook his head and GLARED some more. And even raised an eyebrow. His papa did that sometimes when talking to his mum. Why all the extra hair. HM? Musician with long hair??
He wondered if Maddie could REALLY play.
"What kind you ask?" The second year, stroked his beard forced a chuckle. MWAH-no. Slytherins weren't evil. HEHE-uh- Hahah. Chuckle. Yes. "Well if you are cunning. If you are hard working and better than all others." Yes. Then HE SALAZAR would like you. "If you can hide a cha-Ahem" Kyroh cleared his throat. THaaaat was too much of a give away."Are you the BEST lute player in the world girl? Or....boy." There was only ONE lute player he could think of at the top of his head, and that was a boy. "Who's your best friend HMMMMM?" THAT would help him guess for sure!

Soph hadn't expected him to jump and she did her best to stay in character and refrain from laughing - she couldn't help but snort a little, but otherwise she kept her composure fairly well. Sniff, sniff. Cough. Give you some.... pep. SNORT. "Pep would be nice. I'll work on it right now."
Aaaaand she set to miming a whole brewing of a potion in her invisible cauldron, an amused grin on her face. She didn't have to think too much about what she was doing - she was miming measuring things out, cutting up ingredients, and throwing them into her non-existent cauldron like it was nothing.
"Maybe a little..." she squinted, trying to recall what was in a pepperup potion, "...bicorn horn here, dunno why, just seems like a good idea..." She RECALLED that as an ingredient, but she couldn't piece together on the spot what use it had for the potion, "Aaaand maybe... some mandrake root..." Wasn't that an ingredient, too? Probably?
Though, glancing at Tobes, she wasn't sure that he knew the ingredients - nor that he really even cared what the ingredients were - so maybe she didn't have to try so hard.
When Tobes answered her question about the blueprints, she responded, multitasking her miming easily, "In Scotland, eh? Good choice of location." She didn't really know if it was or not back in the day, but she could humor him well enough. "That's very thoughtful of you." Wasn't it? She knew outright now that it was the Hogsmeade creator guy - but for the life of her, she couldn't remember what exactly, his name was. Wasn't he... one of those... name of names, though? A proper title where it said where he was from? "Where are you from, sir?" Assuming it was a sir. Had to be.
Toby........................ watched.
Yeah, he was pretty convinced that Soph was meant to be portraying whoever it was that invented the Pepper-Up Potion, without her even saying what the ingredients were. Not that that would even have made a difference; remembering potions ingredients was the part of that subject that Toby had difficulty with. Or............ remembering WHO invented them. Because ????????????????????? He had no idea.
So, while he racked his brains, and wondered if he could subtly get Soph to show him her card, Toby focused on his own wizard.
"Oh, yeah... I'm originally from............" Was he allowed to say it? As it was technically on his card? Eh, yolo. "Woodcroft, actually." Ahem. HintHINT. He even went ahead and wrote 'HOGSMEADE' at the top of his parchment, and then underneath that, 'Population: 1' like on the caaaaaaard.
Staaaaaaaaaaaaring at that miming right now. Hm. HMMM. Maybe he'd just... go for it. "Whad'ya think you'll call it?" TECHNICALLY not cheating, 'cause she wouldn't be saying the NAME... but at least he'd be sure.

The professor had confirmed that it was okay for them all to refer to their textbooks to learn more about the people they had on their cards. Layla mumbled a ‘thank you’ in response before grabbing hold of the textbook and flicking through the pages until she found the chapter on the Hogwarts founders. Which quite frankly was a relief in a book entitled ‘Hogwarts: A history.’
Everyone else seemed to be enjoying a game of dress up and the Ravenclaw audibly sighed as she pushed up from her desk and wandered over to the box. It reminded her of her childhood, way back in her childhood and Layla had not really welcomed the memories. It wasn’t that they were bad she just didn’t really care for them. She searched for a plastic tiara inside and placed it on top of her head. That’ll do as a representation of the Diadem, they needed no more clue than that right?
She wandered back over to her desk and watched the other students interact. She waited there for someone else to come over and talk to her. She wouldn’t be able to guess who they were after all. She had very little information on her own character other than she was the founder of her own house and she should probably know more about her than she did.

Meh. Muggledom.
Dot waited and waited and waited for someone to come and be impressed with her hat and apron and mocked up cheeseboard, but when no one seemed a whit interested... she wasn't willing to wait any longer. It made her feel sad and she didn't care for that.
So she found a Ravenclaw girl. In a crown. Awesome. She should ask her questions and maybe get asked questions and then there would be no sad. Dot put her board on the desk and swept aside her fake cheese.

Sophie FAKE!SNEEZED again, this time right into her pretend cauldron, feigned embarrassment, but exclaimed, "FINI!" ALL DONE WITH THE POTION SHE WASN'T REALLY BREWING. In a flash, she was bent over on the other side of her desk, digging for her spare vial of pepperup potion... digging... no, she didn't need her vial of felix... A-HA! Swapping the empty vial for the one full of the potion she'd invented, Sophie presented it to Tobes very dramatically like she'd just found the cure for all the ailments in the world.
She knew he already knew what she was on about - he'd thrown the pep hint out there to let her know he was following along - but she... didn't know if he knew WHO invented it. Did he? No? Hmm. Subtly, she slid her textbook toward him, giving him the full opportunity to look up the potion and find the name associated with it - and she stuck her chocolate frog card under it and made SURE he saw her do it. JUST in case he had no patience to look up things and wanted to just read the card.
But she did give him the invitation to be a bit more methodical and use the textbook to find the answer, though.
"Woodcroft, you say?" Sophie positively beamed, the name Hengist immediately triggering in her brain at the revealing of the location. SHE KNEW WHO HE WAS NOW. She watched him write some more, snorted at the population listing, and griiiiiiiiiiinned even broader at the confirmation that it WAS Hogsmeade. "You wouldn't happen to be... Hengist of Woodcroft, would you, sir?" BOOM.
...What would she call her potion? She hummed thoughtfully, dramatically stroking her chin all the while, and shrugged. "Dunno. I like your inspiration of pep... pep... pepper.... pep...per-up potion? Ha! Pepper-up potion. That has a good ring to it, doesn't it?" WIGGLY EYEBROWS.

Okay, she was just going to be blunt..."its your card person who has the pox right? not you?" she asked stepping backwards a little bit as she stood there. She just didn't want pox-boy to give her pox if he had them.

Eyebrow raise as the girl who seemed quite shocked by his appearance and backed up from him like he was contagious. "Yeah....its part of the act." Like he would be in class if he was seriously ill. It would have been a one-way ticket to the hospital wing...or worse...St. Mungos. "But still very serious"
Cough. Cough.
Now she had loosely confirmed what he had asked of her own persona but nothing much else was given. So Benny looked her over once more to try and see if anything else to his mind by what he saw. Okay, female quidditch player. What else was there? The Gryffindor wasn't all too familiar with famous players despite playing himself. He was about to ask a question when another boy came up to them and gave a guess complete with name.
Joscelind Wadcock
Cough. Cough. Cough.
Guess he was out of guesses himself for the Hufflepuff seemed pretty sure of his answer. "Silly dragon...sickness," he mused giving the stuffed dragon a squeeze.
As Ophelia turned her card over again and saw the person on it --Grogan Stump-- she sighed. Who WAS this person? The eleven year old was sure she had to learn every single name that had ever graced a chocolate frog card, and yet, his name had never came up. It was not a pretty name and it was hard to read. Especially since she had problems reading in the first place.
Wait, someone just asked if they could use their textbook. What was the answer on that one? Because this guy with the weird name was completely unknowable, and the Ravenclaw would honestly not be surprised if someone put this card in as a joke.
As she tried to think of the stupid person on her card, the question the professor asked ran through her head. Why did bad wizards get cards too? Well, they changed the world, didn't they? Maybe not for the better, but certainly change things. Or maybe the people who decided the cards chose memorable names. Although, if that were the case, her card would be reading a different name right now. So apparently that wasn't true either. Aww man! This was going to bother her really, really badly!
And it wasn't like her family was much help. They focused on the cards that featured good people, like Albus Dumbledore or Rowena Ravenclaw. The Clarke's tried to see the good in people, apparently. And the fact that she didn't know what many bad people did or why it was important besides what other people said didn't lend to answers. So right now the question was just one confusing mess in her head, something to research or figure out herself. Why did bad people get rewarded with chocolate frog cards? And what was the purpose?
.............
Writing down the questions in her notebook, a hand went up to ask the teacher a question.
"So about the book, can we use them? Cause no offense, but I'm not sure my guy even existed and I have no clue where to start." Imediately she regretted saying that. Her face turned beet read and her blonde hair felt hot on her neck. She sounded dumb saying that, and offensive. But life was all a game of reasoning, and she decided to reason that a lot of people were thinking it. She and that other girl had the guts to say it though, and that's what separated her from her sisters and brothers. She had the guts of the family.

After removing his school robe, Ethan rolled up the ends of his trousers to show as much shin as possible and started to dress up for the part. The prefect chose a sparkly medieval robe, which was by the way too short for him, donned a long silver hair wig and fake beard, a pointy hat, and bedroom slippers. The boy has no idea what kind of shoes they were back in the day, so bedroom slippers will have to do. Getting a miniature dragon toy, and a long staff, Ethan emerged from the back, hunched over depicting a very, very, very old man. Definitely older than Botros!
Now for the voice, yeah? Ahem.
“IN A LAND OF MUGGLE MYTH, AND MAGIC…THE DESTINY OF ARTHUR’S KINGDOM RESTS ON MY SHOULDERS! MY NAME…IS…for you to find out!” His introduction was quickly followed by wheezing and coughs. “Bleeeeeech. It is DIFFICULT to be old!” Cough cough. “BUT I AM…the best wizard…EVER!” Merlin!Ethan tapped the floor with his staff and sauntered slooooooowly towards a familiar looking man. Could it be? COULD IT BE HIS OLD PROFESSOR LOOKING MIGHTY AND POWERFUL!?
Salazar Slytherin’s beard. HE IS ALLLIIIIVAAAH!
Ethan!Merlin eyed each and every one of his classmates, hoping NOT to find Morgan Le Fay. Slytherin’s painted toes. THAT WOMAN was just TOO MUCH. Too much like Agatha. Heh. Ethan!Merlin walked around the classroom, inspecting each and every wizard AFTER his time.
Cue the butt scratch.

Caleb was all dressed up and ready to go, with his white wig and stuffed snake and dark green robes. Now he just had to find someone to roleplay with and whatnot. Just as he thought that, he heard someone start yelling nearby - it was Ethan, Cutty's cousin and House Prefect. AKA the kid who'd gotten the job that CALEB should have gotten.
But he was, oddly, not as annoyed by all of it as he expected to be when he first dreamt of the badge. In fact, he was kind of...relieved he hadn't gotten it. It was nice not having all this pressure on himself to do great...
That wasn't the point of all this, though. Ethan was the perfect person to act out stuff with! WOOT TEAM SLYTHERIN!
Clearing his throat to get into character, he approached Ethan and raised his voice. "You aren't the greatest wizard who ever lived! I AM! I came before you and left a MUCH bigger legacy than you did!" he exclaimed, waving the stuffed snake around like it would magically give Ethan the answer to what he was.

I came before you and left a MUCH bigger legacy than you did!" he exclaimed, waving the stuffed snake around like it would magically give Ethan the answer to what he was.
During his epic, mid butt scratching, Ethan!Merlin’s brows shot up way above AND WHO IS THIS PERSON!WIZARD CLAIMING THAT HE’S BETTER if not THE BEST?! The nerve of this character! Ethan!Merlin tuuuuuuurned around slowly to see…Oh hey there Caleb! Your prefect had been WORRIED about you since the FF drama back in Diagon Alley. The prefect wondered how he’s doing but…but he can’t just be friendly and chit-chatty right now, cause MERLIN. Uh-huuuh.
“WRONGETH YOU ARE! WHAT…What have you done for thy Muggles? Were you an adviser to a mighty King like I DID? ” Cue the wheezing and the coughing. “I may be old, BUT I AM THE BEST!”
Eeeh. What’s that snake doing though. “WHO are YOU?”

The boy has no idea what kind of shoes they were back in the day, so bedroom slippers will have to do. Getting a miniature dragon toy, and a long staff, Ethan emerged from the back, hunched over depicting a very, very, very old man. Definitely older than Botros!
Now for the voice, yeah? Ahem.
“IN A LAND OF MUGGLE MYTH, AND MAGIC…THE DESTINY OF ARTHUR’S KINGDOM RESTS ON MY SHOULDERS! MY NAME…IS…for you to find out!” His introduction was quickly followed by wheezing and coughs. “Bleeeeeech. It is DIFFICULT to be old!” Cough cough. “BUT I AM…the best wizard…EVER!” Merlin!Ethan tapped the floor with his staff and sauntered slooooooowly towards a familiar looking man. Could it be? COULD IT BE HIS OLD PROFESSOR LOOKING MIGHTY AND POWERFUL!?
Salazar Slytherin’s beard. HE IS ALLLIIIIVAAAH!
Ethan!Merlin eyed each and every one of his classmates, hoping NOT to find Morgan Le Fay. Slytherin’s painted toes. THAT WOMAN was just TOO MUCH. Too much like Agatha. Heh. Ethan!Merlin walked around the classroom, inspecting each and every wizard AFTER his time.
Cue the butt scratch.
Samantha got up form her desk and walked around the classroom. She spotted Ethan in his old wizard getup and gave him a dark smirk. It was hard for her to do so because the person she had on her card was nothing like her. She walked over to Ethan and looked him up and down with her arms folded.
"Hmm, a tired, old wizard. Now why is that so familiar? You'll never beat the likes of me. Youth is much better, old man" Samantha had decided to play the arrogant card.

Marigold hurried over to the props because she had a PLAN. First finding a relatively old-looking cloak, she wrapped that around herself and kept searching for more things. She placed a red wig on her head, sneezed once at the hair ticking her nose, then put a fake black mustache on her face. Wendelin has loads of disguises, get it? She pulled a few more things out and put them on - hats, weird sideburn things - then hopped over to where Dot and Clara's dormmate were talking. "I'll guess yours if you guess mine?" she said, then, without waiting for an answer, yelled REALLY LOUD: "BURN ME!"
as kace saw puck made it to class, he realized he could work with her. He wondered if she could guess his? I mean she would have a laugh seeing him in his monocle, his top hat, cane and a winged horse. But as he read more information on his dude he was portraying, he was credited with creating a sport that combined elements of polo and quidditch. It was played on winged horses instead of brooms. That was pretty impressive. He noticed a dude was near him and he looked familiar but he couldn't pin point his name. He would worry about it later.
"hey puck!" he called out so he could get his attention. He knew her character just by her wig and ball. "can i guess you are the famous quidditch star joscelind wadcock?" he grinned. His quidditch information was unreal sometimes. Plus the puldimere united kind of gave it away for him. "but can you guess what i am?" he asked playing with his cane and flying horse plushie.

cough. Cough.
Now she had loosely confirmed what he had asked of her own persona but nothing much else was given. So benny looked her over once more to try and see if anything else to his mind by what he saw. Okay, female quidditch player. What else was there? The gryffindor wasn't all too familiar with famous players despite playing himself. He was about to ask a question when another boy came up to them and gave a guess complete with name.
Joscelind wadcock
cough. Cough. Cough.
Guess he was out of guesses himself for the hufflepuff seemed pretty sure of his answer. "silly dragon...sickness," he mused giving the stuffed dragon a squeeze.
Oh Merlin he was loud, Puck glanced at Ethan and raised her eyebrow before turning her attention back to Poxy and Kace. Kace had – whaaaaaaaaat? How’d he get her so fast? Sure he must have been a Quidditch person right? Didn’t he have that internship over summer holidays?
”h-how?” she gasped eyes wiiiiiiiiiiide in shock. ”yes, yes you are right” she sighed dramatically and grinned at her friend before turning to glance at Poxy again. ”I’d say that you are Withers, y’know the one and only Lord Stoddard Withers” she laughed. Leaning closer she whispered, ”the horse gave it away” she chuckled.
She sent the coughing person a looooook. ”you’ve got dragon Pox?” she sighed and squinted…definitely ink on his face. ”if you did you’d have to either be Howland Coopey, Elphias Doge, Gunhilda Kneen…and you aren’t dressed like a woman, Abraxas Malfoy….or whats his name Oldridge” she shrugged. What she wasn’t an idiot. "What do you think Withers?"

Oh, Jasmine had another person to trade guesses with when Eden came over and suggested that they take turns. "Sounds good to me", she said. "How about we both give each other some clues and then we can try to guess each other's person? I'll start. I was a Ravenclaw. My favorite subject was Herbology and I invented something very useful." Jasmine shook her container of glitter for effect and to give another clue.
"Now you.......give me a few clues about the person you're supposed to be and I'll guess." Jasmine checked out Eden's costume and tried to get some hints from it.
Eden was wearing the old-timey vest, and she had one a blonde mustache. She giggled as she wiggled her mouth and made it move--and then blushed at Jasmine.
Right.
You didn't see Eden being dumb--NOPE.
"Sounds great. You can go first!" Because Eden would have to think about what she said. In fact, she was thinking so hard about what she was going to say that she didn't hear ANY of Jasmine was saying except 'Ravenclaw' and 'useful.' And she was holding glitter. Was it something to do with pixie dust?
Eden mentally kicked herself. And her dumb ways. And her LACK of knowledge, really, with EVERYTHING. "Umm--okay-I literally have no idea--but what is that supposed to be?" she asked about the glitter. "Pixie dust?!" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
Wow she felt LAME.
Ugh.
Now her turn.
"I like unicorns! I am all for unicorn rights, man--" and she held up the unicorn horn. "I was a hufflepuff, too! " Was he---? Or was she making that up? He looked like a hufflepuff. Or maybe he hadn't even GONE to Hogwarts. PFfffft. Oh well.

Ooooooh-eeee. He felt good. Well, the shirt with the ruffles was kind of unnecessary for himself, but for Kirley Duke, it's perfect.
Dec smoothed out the wig he had on and put on the toy guitar. He loosened up his body to get some sort of wrockstar swagger and strutted around, fake playing his fake guitar. Winks for you, Eden. Winks for you, Puck. Winks for all the fans. *GUITAR SOLO*
So there were other types of cards. He would have to eat more chocolate frogs just to collect them. It got him thinking, there had to be a list something that tells all the names of everyone on each card. The library would be a good place to start looking for that sort of information. Since magic was now a part of his life he thought he needed to know a lot more history.
Darius lifted up his card slowly wondering who would be on it when they were given the okay. Letting his hand cup it in a way that only he could see it and read all of the information.
Uric the Oddball
Oh man... Why couldn't I get someone I knew like Merlin? He thought, wondering how he was going to play this famous wizard. Merlin was the only wizard he knew having read books on him at his old non magical school. This wasn't going to be easy since the only information he had was on the card. Darius walked to back of the class and trying to put together a custom that would best complement his new role and whatever else he would need.

And there was another EVIL being, questioning his credibility as one of the BEST WIZARDS that lived. No, seriously, Album Dumbledore was just a copy-cat. Merlin was the ORIGINAL, PLUS, he’s a Slytherin. DID THEY KNOW? Of course they know! And they HATE to discuss it because he belonged to the HOUSE OF AWESOME.
Ethan!Merlin eyed this EVIL lady and took a few steps away from Caleb and towards Samantha. “I MAY BE OOOOOLD, and tired, BUT my old age justifies my knowledge of MAGIC, and the GOOD THINGS it brought to CAMELOT!” Ethan!Merlin’s leaned on his staff to support his curved back. Now…NOW. Her calling him OLD MAN in that fashion seem all too familiar to Ethan!Merlin. At the back of Ethan’s mind, famous witches and wizards flipped through his brain, separating them by gender. Samantha was wearing a dress, so wizards are off the list. She also looked young, so old witches were out too. Maybe just a little few more clues and he’d nailed it.
As for Caleb, he’s an old wizard…older than Merlin…and is fond of Snakes…or is that a Basilisk? Ethan’s first guess was Salazar Slytherin, but Caleb said that he is OLDER than OLD MERLIN. That was definitely a clue. Hmm…Ethan!Merlin tapped his staff against the floor as he filtered out the other wizards, and focused on those who embodied Caleb’s character.
A guessing game, eh? Ethan liked those.

Camelot. Ethan mentioned Camelot. Samantha instantly knew who he was portraying. "Well, you must be Merlin. If you think I am going to be impressed by that, then you are clearly mistaken. You ruined me!" Samantha said with a venomous tone in her voice as her eyes darkened.
Sophie FAKE!SNEEZED again, this time right into her pretend cauldron, feigned embarrassment, but exclaimed, "FINI!" ALL DONE WITH THE POTION SHE WASN'T REALLY BREWING. In a flash, she was bent over on the other side of her desk, digging for her spare vial of pepperup potion... digging... no, she didn't need her vial of felix... A-HA! Swapping the empty vial for the one full of the potion she'd invented, Sophie presented it to Tobes very dramatically like she'd just found the cure for all the ailments in the world.
She knew he already knew what she was on about - he'd thrown the pep hint out there to let her know he was following along - but she... didn't know if he knew WHO invented it. Did he? No? Hmm. Subtly, she slid her textbook toward him, giving him the full opportunity to look up the potion and find the name associated with it - and she stuck her chocolate frog card under it and made SURE he saw her do it. JUST in case he had no patience to look up things and wanted to just read the card.
But she did give him the invitation to be a bit more methodical and use the textbook to find the answer, though.
"Woodcroft, you say?" Sophie positively beamed, the name Hengist immediately triggering in her brain at the revealing of the location. SHE KNEW WHO HE WAS NOW. She watched him write some more, snorted at the population listing, and griiiiiiiiiiinned even broader at the confirmation that it WAS Hogsmeade. "You wouldn't happen to be... Hengist of Woodcroft, would you, sir?" BOOM.
...What would she call her potion? She hummed thoughtfully, dramatically stroking her chin all the while, and shrugged. "Dunno. I like your inspiration of pep... pep... pepper.... pep...per-up potion? Ha! Pepper-up potion. That has a good ring to it, doesn't it?" WIGGLY EYEBROWS.
Toby only watched as Soph REALLY got into this activity. It was... kind of amusing. When she finally handed over the potion, he held it up in front of his face and staaaaaared at it. And may have unintentionally pulled a face, too, because THIS stuff was unpleasant to take. Tobias usually preferred to struggle on potion-less when he had a cold because man... ick.
But he was meant to be ACTING, and he didn't want to """"""""offend"""""""" the person who invented this potion, right? Right. Though... he saw THAT TOO. The subtle book nudging and all. Professor Glendower HAD said about how they could use their textbooks if they needed to, and though Toby had been wanting to avoid that, it seemed like the way forward in this activity.
He picked up the textbook (but not the card, because that was too much like cheating to him) and rifled through it, even as Soph made her own guess about his character. Toby looked up and smiled.
"Yep, you got me," he nodded, holding up his chocolate frog card to show her the picture. "Seems like I'm drawn to the Hufflepuffs." 'Cause Hengist was a Hufflepuff, see?
Hmkay, soooo. SOOOOOOOOO. Soooooo. Toby kept rifling through the book, looking for the words 'Pepper-Up Potion' to jump out at him, but it wasn't quite working out like that. Eventually he went for the more Ravenclaw methodical approach, and checked the index before flipping to the right page. AHA! He'd... never seen that name before in his life.
"And you're... Glover Hipworth... right?" Man. Hopefully he had that right, after all those hints. But Toby was pretty sure, and sub-consciously glanced at her card (though he couldn't see it properly from this far away) while he waited to see if he was right. "Inventor of the Pepper-Up Potion. I knew that part, it was just the name..."
