Urg. Wrong history facts. That just made Everett want to hit his head against a wall. "Good expressions. Merlin's heard, and in the name of Merlin are both used to express surprise or anger. But Miss DeSantis, Merlin was not the first wizard. He is just one of the most famous wizards." Even more famous than Harry potter.


"Oh..." Pixxi's mouth opened and closed like a fish on land. She knew Merlin wasn't the first wizard. She had just been caught up in the moment of excitement to answer a question, and as she did so she lost her head. "I'm sorry..." she almost whispered while looking down on her desk.

"So. I was given a number of good idioms or if you rather expressions. There are more like, I'm so hungry I could eat a hippogriff, and time is galleons, but that's okay." He paused. Write. This down. "As you all know, everything has history behind it. All of these expressions have a story behind why they were created. Since it would be extremely dull for me to go through all of them, I have decided to just talk about my favourite one. That that would be a variation of the one that Mr. Watson said."

Professor Scabior pulled out his wand once again and tapped it on the board, right beside the list in big bold letters was a simple saying.

An apple a day, keeps the Healer away.


"Now, let's get your brains working. What do you lot think this means? And also, what does it mean to you personally? " Personally as in, do you think its true? False? Only lies that your mum has told you?


Quickly, as to make sure the Professor knew she wasn't stupid or didn't like the subject, Pixxi pulled out her ink bottle and parchment and started writing down everything the Professor said.

When answering the new question, Pixxi was more cautious. She didn't want to make a fool of herself again, and she was quite sure students around her had supressed giggles. Not that she really cared, because this was nothing she would be embarrassed by usually, but this was the first lesson in History of Magic, a subject she really liked and was interested in.

Slowly, she raised her hand and carefully chose her words, "'An apple a day, keeps the Healer away' is something my mum used to say to me when I was little. I think it means that... If you eat healthy, your body stays strong and... You don't get sick." She didn't want to explain more in case she was wrong.
