Whatever.
She grudgingly...stood up, shooting a glare at that weird puff boy(the one who had been shirtless in Transfiguration...great.) and tried her veeeerrrryberry best not to roll her eyes. Nope. No trouble for 'Miss Morganzo.'
She brought her notebook along with her...since, you know, she was a Ravenclaw and had to take notes. Perhaps Professor Scabier though he was embarrassing her...well, he wasn't. He was just making sure everyone now knew exactly who she was...thank Merlin she was good looking...
Hmph.
She copied down all of those little bullet points, making a mental note to fiiiind the stupid train section in her textbook...
Argh.
And when could she sit again, Professor? Hmmm?
And then he asked another question...Elliot thought for a minute...guesses..."Well, Professor, perhaps the charms set on it backfired or something..." Or something. Because she really didn't know...

She couldn't help but giggle when she noticed Theodore's answer was also there on the list. Professor Scabior did have sense of humor! That was cool! Sophie smiled and listened to him speaking and asking another question.
Hm... they mentioned a snow bank when the train stopped the second time? She raised her hand. "It was snowing in September?" That wasn't very... normal, was it? "Maybe it had something to do with the strange weather?" Why would it be snowing right after summer break? Weeeird... Quote:

Even if the sudden stop had technically made everyone inside it to crash into things. But what could have made it crash? Hmm... After a few moments of thought, her hand went into the air. "Did someone make it crash?" she asked/answered. That seemed possible. Why would a train just crash randomly? Quote:

For all his family's connection to the railway system he wasnt want to peruse the archives for accidents.
Anotehr thing he scribbled down was the weather-- winter mustve come strong and early for snow to accumulate enough to cushion a derailed train. He heard Alyssa mention the icy tracks, which makes a whole lot of sense. Up goes the hand "Professor, was there any magical or mechanical trouble? Brakes failed or something?" He knew well enough that certain Muggle made machines-- even those retrofitted magically-- would start showing flaws during inclement weather. Quote:

Students had to walk from there all over to school by following the train tracks. They say that a "DARK MARK" was actually conjured and students were struck with fear on what was about to happen. I have even read that a professor named, Golden Luigi on that day has died who was with the students at that time. I strongly believe that Voldemortist was behind it." Quote:

She wasn’t really sure what could’ve caused the second crash, as she didn’t really know the details surrounding it. She gave it a shot anyway though, “Maybe the train crashed the second time because someone cursed it so it would come off the tracks?” A guess was better than no effort at all, she decided. Quote:

But that had to wait for the man was now on the list of what was supposed to be the historical background of the magical train. Beezus nodded. Muggles, yes, it was constructed by those non-magic folk. And yes, it had broken down at least three times. Dementors on the first time with Dementors feeling a bit too friendly and decided to visit the students before they arrive at school. But really, Beatrice knew the Azkaban guards were looking for Sirius Black that time.
When Scabior asked for guesses on the second time the train broke, the Ravenclaw couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. The answer to that one was mentioned by one of their peers already. Quickly, she put her hand up.
"Professor, I believe Sierra Greigoth had already given a starting answer to that. As she said, during the journey to the school, it suddenly started snowing. It wasn't a usual occurrence because it was September," Snow in September? Yeah, that was just weird. "The train then ran into a snow bank, and got stuck and the students were forced to continue their way to Hogwarts on foot." Right Sierra? "..And in connection to what West Odessa said Professor, it was indeed assumed, uhh..well, actually it was proven thereafter that the wreckage had something to do with Lord Voldemortist killing a Professor and," *Head-shaking* "...a powerful book? I can't really remember. It was also reported that a dementor also made an appearance during that time."
Yes? Yes? She DID read Hogwarts, A History, quite a few times actually. Quote:

Meh, Guess Professor Scabior proved her wrong with her almost sane theory. Juliet sat there and listened to the professor as he started the lecture. From time to time however, her eyes would still go back to the toy train. Yup, she wanted to play with the train.
As the lesson progressed a bit, they're now discussing on the 3 events in history that the train broke down and/or was stopped. Juliet knew about the 3, read or had possibly heard it from an adult but nothing much in particular. The details is a bit blur to her.
If she had to base her answer with the 1993 reason, which is the dementors stopping the train, then Juliet can come up with a basic answer as well. Her hand rose up "Someone evil or dark stopped the train... again" she said. Maybe not those dementors, maybe just something else. Something powerful and evil and dark and creepy.
Who knows. Quote:

Which is why she went back to her parchment for the time being and jotted down notes - including the list that Professor Scabior had put on the board.
She did end up raising an eyebrow in Elijah's direction for a moment. Purple? Really? Distracted for a moment from the rest of the discussion, it was actually Beezus who managed to bring the seventh year back in.
And hand went up. "Are you talking about the Book of Mysteria? Wasn't that the year that Hogwarts was entrusted to keep it safe?" Quote:
Originally Posted by xXxPandora Beezus had barely sat back down when Kurumi sent a question towards her direction. Book of Mysteria. Yeah, that was it. The Ravenclaw nodded, "It could be a rather dangerous book if it falls into the wrong hands." For inside were numerous powerful spells and potions. And well, the bearer would most likely transcends others.
"It was said that Lord Voldemortist had an undeniable interest on it." And that it was why he crashed the train in the first place. Quote:

She scanned the list to see how she could answer the question, snowfall and trains, " maybe some Dark Magic..." that was usually the answer when things went wrong in Hogwarts Quote:

"It could be a malfunction, Professor," Kat said. "But it may have been other... uhmmm... another Dark attack." Kat bit her lip. Just hopefully, it wasn't THAT. Quote:
Originally Posted by DeathEater1 "It started snowing just out of the blue, right? Someone must've conjured up a snow spell to freeze the train up, or cloud it's field of vision so it couldn't move on. It does seem quite thought out, come to think of it." Based on everyone else's answers, that one was pretty correct. The first one, at least. The second one she kinda guessed on.
Why would someone wanna do that? It sounded kinda stupid. for starters, she disliked snow quite a bit, so she couldn't see why anyone would ever want to make it just, "pop out of the ground"! A little was okay, a lot was NOT. Not in any way, shape, or form. But she couldn't control it, right? Why would anyone want to? Quote:

Nate simply raised his hand and stated. "The cause wasn't natural causes that's for sure. Even though that there WAS a freak snowstorm, but in Hogwarts, a History it never said anything about the tacks being frozen. So I say that I was man-made, and by a man who wanted something powerful.......that man was Lord Voldemortist. He was after something called the book of Mysteria......." Nate trailed off. That's all that Nate had to say about that simple question. Quote:

He found out from the other students that the train has been stopped twice before, and the event yesterday was the third time it happened. And now the professor is inquiring everyone on why it stopped for the second time.
I think those people who were perplexed with snow on September is correct... why would such a thing happen? ... he thought to himself. Other than that, he couldn't really think of any other reason. He also heard a few students mention someone named Lord Voldemortist.
Such an odd name ... he thought to himself. Although, he remembers his mother mentioning a similar name, when she was trying to bring him up to date to the Wizarding World just as he was preparing for his trip to Hogwarts. My mother said they called that guy, um, You-Know-Who, and someone named Harry Potter was able to overpower this dark lord. He was writing all of these things down on his parchment, as well as whatever the professor has written on the board. He's trying to connect the dots in his head.
So far, nothing is connecting, and he doesn't like it. He is very argumentative, but in this current scenario, where he is still totally in the dark, all he can do is sit quietly and tongue-tied. Quote:

...but the Ministry was filled some really awesome people, too. Like Sierra's father, for instance. ...and, wasn't Scabior dating one of the department heads? Hmph. Sounded like somebody was a little full of himself.
...and, why that second train crash happened?
Seemed right. "I'm going to agree with those two," she said, raising her hand then gesturing in the West and Beezus's direction. "Could have been a powerful wizard, or it could have been the snow. Or both." One would think, though, if it had been just the snow, a magical train would have been equipped to handle that.
Again, she raised her eyebrows. Powerful wizard? Dead professor? Mysterious book?
Yeah. She agreed with all of the above being the answer. Ravvie Girl seemed to know what she was talking about, at least. Quote:

And Lottie was thinking on her reply to that when he LOUDLY to her announced which House she was in. Wrinkling-nose. No fair. Not the points, she could care less about those, how many points you earned and lost was never an indication of what a great wizard or witch one was...but...UGH. Being referred to as a Hufflepuff, she mentally shook her head.
Miss Morganzo?
Elliot?
That sparked her interest at the moment. Her eyes did follow the board. "It was exactly 30 years ago...," she almost whispered, but then raised her hand, points and the Hufflepuff bit forgotten for now, "Dark forces, perhaps?" because the Headmistress did seem to be in a hurry to get them off the train into Hogsmeade, so maybe she'd heard the story of what happened 30 years ago? "It seems it's the one time it did crash, compared to the other two. Something else might've been in the tracks." Or maybe someone was inside and dark wizards wanted to get rid of said person or something.
Now she wanted to ask...something that was probably off-topic...and she didn't want to be called 'Hufflepuff' again, so she'd better not ask anything and LIMIT herself--no, she wasn't limiting herself. Hand raised. "Where there any casualties back then?" did anyone die? If so, then...how was that relevant, exactly?
Uuuuh. "Technically? Yes." He nodded. The Puff that had a slight attitude problem possible was not that bad. Maybe she really belonged in Ravenclaw? Quote:

"If you have ever seen any gangster wizards i'd encourage you to take a picture of them so I can actually say they exist." Take a picture and then run. Or she would most likely be in trouble. Quote:

Oh man, he was interrupting an important converstation with his lesson. How could he do that? "It's true." Dash started dully. "Started when she was a ghost." No. It didn't. But what kind of seventh year let a second year student get to them? Back to the whole class. "Many of you are correct. Or on the right track at least." Which was good. As long as they were along the right lines. "Voldemortist was the person behind the train tracks. In attempt to cover up a Professors death. A Professor whom he had killed because he was trying to get the Book of Mysteria." They would focus on that another day though. The book of Mysteria would be good content.
"Unlike that incident, the most recent stopping of the train did not end in a crash." Sadly. If some students had been injured more would be in the hospital wing instead of his class. And he had a handful that he wanted out. For example, one had a last name that started with an H and ended with ollingberry. "Neither does it match up with the first because of the Dementors." No guards of Azkaban had entered the train this time. "I want you all to keep in mind that although the express was created by Muggles, and appears to be a strictly Muggle device, it is and has been for a very long time, a magical unit of transportation. What first two incidences do have in common generally is that they were stopped by some form magic or something in the magically world." With that said, "From knowing all these facts-" Everything that they had said previously, and everything he said now. "-I believe it is safe to say that some form of magic must have stopped the Hogwarts Express recently as well."
And exactly WHY were they going into this? He wold explain that later but they all rode the train right? IT was important to them was it not? But he was going to venture off course just a bit.
"Everyone tell me one spell or charm that you think Ottaline Gambol had placed on the Hogwarts express to get it running on magic." OOC:The lesson will continue in approximately 16 hours.
