Good versus Evil. It’s all in the eye of the beholder, isn’t it? Two people can have completely different views and deem there view right, when as the other deems theirs as the right reason. Conflict is all around us. Wrong and right. Good and Evil.""Any good point, Mister Bennett. Their view, be it against the majority lead them to act. Again history in action. Think about what lead them to their actions. What in their personal history directed them to take such action. ""Yes, Miss Bott. There are much simpler ways to achieve what you want, but sometimes people deem it more important to take actions into their own hands. But their actions did make quite the impact, did it now? Whether it was truly right for them to take such action is not for us to judge, but for us to look at and consider.""Yet another great point. Loyality to their friend. That can also be drawn back to perhaps loyalities to where they are from. Personal history molding people into who there are and all that jazz.""I wouldn’t say they didn’t have a choice. Everyone has a choice in their actions, but their choices do help to define them in great moments, as well as no go great moments.""EXACTLY! That is what I wanted to hear. Those that worked at the Ministry would view the events there completely different to those that didn’t work at the Ministry. The same thing goes for those in different countries. How it is taught and told will differ from place to place. For example, I attended Hogwarts for five years and was taught the same thing as you are, but what I was taught my last two years at the American Academy of Magic differs in view completely. Different locales will view history differently.""Again loyalty is called into effect. Miss Lovegood, even though she wasn’t one of Mister Potter’s best friends, she laid her loyalty to him and followed him into battle. Perhaps the bond of wanting to help and do the right think directed her to follow blindly. And I do say blindly because, it was rather blind that they just jumped in like so. Yet, we can completely judge as we were not there and we don’t truly know what was going through their minds. Again, we are here to discuss and attempt to understand history.""It is arguable one of the turning points in history during the second reign of Voldemort. Time-turners, yes many of them ever destroyed. They are rather difficult to make and I’m sure that even if there were more around, the Ministry would not tell us of their existence."
"Yes, Miss Greenwell. Both sides did lost something. That is a given as most battles, if not all, there are loses. Some are greater than others, but no less as important."
"Miss Materia, I do enjoy your use of other prevalent events in history in relation to the what we are talking about. Thinking outside of the box and finding connections with other historical event. Those in America could possibly relate more to those battles that took place during the second reign of Voldemort, if they thought about it in that manner. Yet, again different locales view history. It’s an example of viewing something from the outside as compared to viewing it whilst in the middle of it.""Yes, Miss Page. That would be the battle we are talking about. Simply put it did surround a certain prophecy but I really think there was a lot more involved with it. We won’t really get into it today, but maybe in another lesson we will touch on it again."
"Yes, there were casualities. Battles do tend to have them, but that comes with the territory. Who’s to really say what would have happened if the trio didn’t act the way they did." Yes, it was good he was okay. She didn't want to have to send anyone to see the nurse. "Yes, the universal battle between the little guy and the big guy. I really can’t completely condemn them or commend them in their actions, as I wasn’t there and I don’t know what was going through their minds, but I do think given their situation, they did what they deemed right."
"Yes, it did open eyes, didn’t it? I’m sure it caused some people to rethink their views on things and what exactly they were being told. Put yourselves in the shoes of someone during that time and given your own view, what would you have thought of it all.""Yes, it was an unfair loss, but it is rare for either side to walk away from such a battle without losing something. By no means, does that justify the loss though.""Again, a very valid point, Mister Hudson. Mister Potter and his friends were ill-prepared for what they were walking into, but again they were acting on their instincts and what they felt was right. But it is also true that one can’t really be prepared to walk into something like that can you? There are situations where you just have to enter blindly and with little to no preparation. "From the corner of her eyes, she again noticed the strange eagle that was first to arrive in class. Something didn’t seem all right about him, she would have to keep her eye on him for sure.

"You all have brought up interesting points and I do like that you all have opinions on what has happen, but perhaps we have veered a bit away from what this lesson was meant to be about. A slight tangent, if you must. " she smiled. Yes, tangents were good, but it was time to get back to what needed to be discussed.

"Miss Marius and Miss Materia, both touched briefly on just what I want to focus on. Different view points on a single point in history. Just as where you are from defines you it also defines how you view something. Your environment and those around you, affect you. On each of your desks, there was a coloured marker. They all look the same but I will be using them to divide you into groups now." she smiled as she pulled out her wand and tapped the marker atop her desk.

"Depending on which colour your marker now is, will determine what group you are in."

OCC: If you chose to have your marker write in a specific colour, here are the new colours. Blue markers are now green. The black markers now white. Red markers are now purple. If you didn't chose a colour before, feel free to chose one now. If groups appear to be uneven, I will go through and even them out before we move on.

Autumn looked down at her marker, which was now white. Guess she was in the white group! She quite liked the color white (although some would argue that it wasn't a color, she believed differently). She looked around, trying to see who else's marker was white now. Hopefully there would be nice people in her group!
