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?

Sage perked up a bit after reading the saying Professor Scabior put up on the board. She knew of this saying. Her mum would tell her it all the time when she was younger and refused to eat the healthy, and yucky, food on her plate. At first Sage had been confused, why would she want to keep the healers away, they were nice people. Her brother had explained that their mum just didn't want Sage getting sick.

Sage raised her hand before giving her thoughts on the saying,

"It kinda means eat healthy foods so you won't get sick. My gran would would say something a bit different though.... Eat an apple on going to bed, And you'll keep the Healer from earning his bread." Sage recieted back to the professer. Sage wasn't sure why some people didn't like History of Magic, she was enjoying it so far!
