Time to move on! "So, just like a lot of you stated. Chauncey Oldridge was the first person to get the disease know as Dragon Pox. Dragon Pox of course is a semi-common Wizarding illness, sort of like chicken pox in the Muggle world, but instead your skin turns green and you get bumps all over you and you tend to sneeze out sparks." Just a little tibet for those who had no clue what Dragon Pox was.

"Now Miss Carter-Hope seems to have heard of the truth behind Mr. Chauncey Oldridge."

He paused. Yes, yes, it was story time. "Chauncey Oldridge had been working in Wales when he caught a cold. A nasty flu really. He stayed in bed rested for a day or two and went back out to work before the flu was cured. What happened next is a mystery even to me. But after that Chauncey began to feel sick. Horrible. Terrible. People started to make remarks that he was looking green, and he should see a Healer. But Chauncey turned everyone down. Stating that he did not need a Healer at all. As the days went by he started to get worse. Ugly giant bumps and lime green skin. Eventally, the people in his town were scared that the sickness could spread to them so they forced a Healer to go and diagnose him. So the Healer went and was making his way to Chauncey's house. Chauncey went down stairs to the front of his house, where conveniently a giant apple tree was planted. He picked up the biggest apple that had fallen from the tree and threw it right at his head. It hit the Healer pretty hard and he ran away. tThe Healer was annoyed. Didn't want to go back, but the people pressed him to try again the next day, so he did. This happened for two more days. And it could have very well happened for a third, if Chauncey hadn't died the morning of the third day."

Now he needed water. Scabior took a deep breath and tried to reorientate himself. "After he died a journal was discover. And Old Chauncey's last words were an apple a day, keeps the healer away." Everett grinned. No one had expected that-except the one first year- now had they?

Now he wanted to do a little recap. "So, as you can see. Expressions- even this one about the apples. May seem really...small and not really important to wizard history. But they actually do relate back to bigger moments in history, like the discovery of small pox or things like that. Even little moments in history are important." He looked down at his wrist. Still time! "Now I want everyone to STAND UP. Gryffindor's go to the back of the room, the corner to my left. Ravenclaw's, back of the room, corner to my right. Slytherin's up at the front, my left corner. And Hufflepuff the last corner up here, to my right." Gogogogo. NOW.

Tori had gotten a 'good job' from the professor. A GOOD JOB. She was glowing at the praise. Psssh just look at her, the BEST STUDENT of history EVER in the HISTORY of HOGWARTS.

Ahem. Smirking with pride, Tori stood up from her desk and skipped --- literally, skipped --- to the front of the room. She stood real close to the professor (heehee) and waited for further instructions.
