Honestly, Stella had totally understood the possible reason why the younger Slytherin girl had added a little heart to her nametag, but in the same respect, being that obvious wasn't going to ge ther anywhere. Especially not if Professor Scabior had been dead serious about liking to take points, and she had a feeling he wasn't one to joke. It seemed most of the new professors, as she was assuming he was new, were on the stricter side. But still, she could see the reasoning, even if she wasn't about to do the same. That would just be something she'd keep to herself.

Either way, she'd held back on answering the first question. Enough answers were going around that she'd have risked repaeting someone else if she'd spoken anyhow. She raised her had for the second discussion point, however. There was an obvious name she could have brought up, and in fact she'd semi-unwillingly done so in Charms already, but she wasn't going to this time around. Even if she didn't have to explain it. She had another idea anyhow. "The Triwizard Tournament." There had even been on not too many years ago, so she was surprised nobody had said it earlier. They had to remember it. She did, even if she'd been a lot younger then.

As intructed by the professor, Daphne wrote her name, year and house on the parchment.

Hm. Daphne thought for a moment before she raised her hand. "Severus Snape." He was an important person. Snape was the one who helped defeat Voldemort, didn't he?

Raven wrote her name at the piece of parchment



Raven raised her hand and answer

"I think the death of The Dark Lord was the most important moment in Wizading History."

Beverly dela Cruz Offemaria

First Year

Ravenclaw

Beverly just finished writing on the parchment when a questioned was asked.
She raised her hand and said; Andros the Invincible cause Beverly was amazed on how he produces a Patronus the size of a giant the Professor might tell or give them info about him....

One thing? Just that? Well, that really was easy enough.

"House elf rights," Ryden stated as she raised her hand. Honestly it was the first thing that came to her mind. The fact that the food this year was anything BUT nice was one of the reasons for her foul tempers. Psht. During the first Hogsmeade weekend the blonde would go gorge herself on some normal, tasty meal. And then buy half of Honeyduke's.

Damon chuckled to himself before saying, "Me is the answer to that one prof" He grinned cheekily and leant forward to lean on the table casually.

This lesson was turning out to be really fun. Indiana was quite intersted in history, even more so in magical history. So much, that she had done a bit of reading before coming to hogwarts. She wanted to impress the teachers, sdhow that she was really interested in the subject. Indy smiled, thinking about an important person in history, she listened to the others before she raised her hand herself. She was a bit surprised that nobody had said what she thought. "Dobby the house elf." Surely he was very important.

Ira wrote in the parchment
She thought about the question asked by the professor...She had read quite a bit of the History of magic
She heard the various answers given by her fellow students. She raised her hand up and answered "According to me, invention of horcruxes is also an important moment." Though it was used in a foul way by the Dark Lord, it is still a great invention, isn't it?

Well, he liked simplicity in class. It made things much easier to understand, especially for a foreigner like him.

Moving on.

Raising his hand, João said "The first Quidditch match." He didn't exactly know when, where or who, but sure that was a great part of the wizarding society now. First things were always history.

Eino raised his hand. "Elizabeth I." And that was it... He certainly wasn't used to speaking so little in History of Magic classes, but the professor instructed them to just list it and everyone was following the instruction, so he wasn't going to be the one to disobey. Not him, not now, not ever. Plus, he liked to take away points, but Eino didn't really need that thought lingering on his mind to prevent him from breaking any rules. Still, he was very eager to talk about Elizabeth's influence as a magical monarch in the muggle world.

Salazar Slytherin is taken, Hogwarts' creators/ founders, the dark lord, severus snape and even Harry Potter has already been answered. Jonathan raised his hand "Ollivander" he answered. Everyone knows who Ollivander is.

Geraldine wrote, in her best handwriting, anyway her penmanship was already good, but she wanted this one to be extra neat.

First Year
SLYTHERIN

She wanted to answer the Professor's question but apparently a lot of students beat her to it... it was VOLDEMORT in her mind, yeah, he was evil and stuff but still he was a great person, and has influenced a lot of Hogwart's history. So she just continued thinking about other people that made a difference in the history of magic.

Penny thought for a moment about wizarding history and could really only come up with one name - but it was so obscure that maybe no-one remembered him at all....

"Peter Pettigrew", she added to the mix... and she had definite reasons behind her announcement.

Jez had just finished her note/nameplate, and charmed it to change colours.
Jezabel Black - Jez
First Year
Ravenclaw - as you can probably tell
Yes, the last part was a bit pretentious, but Jez could live with that. She raised her hand at the teacher's question. "The establishment of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy was an important moment."

"Well, Professor Scabior, don't we study history of magic so we can further understand the spells and their uses in modern times?" Nate answered, as a question.

One moment in Wizarding History? Does the defeat of the Dark Lord counts? Oh, well. Better give it a shot! "The defeat of Voldemort." Answered Aiden casually. Yup. She said Voldemort instead of Lord Voldemort. Curious why her parents go crazy everytime she says his name without the Lord thingy.

Name an important moment or person in history, Jesifur gave it some thought she did't want to repeat what the other had said. They all got some major points in history covered already. Jesifur raised her hand anyway. When called upon she offered, " I realize it's an old kids story but my mom always told me it was based on history, the deathly hollows?" Jesifur cringed hoping the teacher would't totally discount her answer.

Right... let's see... an important moment or person in history... I should pick something interesting, the young Ravenclaw thought and looked around, hoping to come up with some good ideas. Listening to what everyone had said, she finally raised her hand, ready to say something. But what? Think... fast!, she told herself. 'Merlin?', she finally answerd. The greatest wizard of all time, that's good- right? Riiiight?

Everyone had pretty much named all the important people. Isobel raised her hand anyway and said; "Helga Hufflepuff." She was pretty important, and she wasn't sure if anyone had named her by name yet. Kurumi, the Gryffindor Prefect, had said the Founders of Hogwarts, but Isobel had gotten more specific. To the most awesome founder.

Violet thought for a moment about what she had read in her History of magic book and raised her hand. "Would Gellert Grindlewald be one." she said in a nervous voice fixing her name tag so the teacher could see it.

Name: Violet Anne Evans
Year: First
House: Hufflepuff

Only one?? But there were SO many! Aspen was carefully writing her name on her name card, allowing for some of the younger students to get the easy ones - like Dumbledore or Merlin. He'd said he LIKED to take away points? So she was taking extra care to be perfect.

SPOILER!!: Name Plate

Aspen Odessa
3rd year
Ravenclaw

Aspen raised her hand slowly, as if she wasn't quite sure she allowed to take her tune yet. "Oswald Beamish."

Pixxi fixed her name plate so it was facing Professor Scabior better. It read:

Name: Natalie "Pixxi" DeSantis
Year: First
House: Gryffindor

She looked at the Professor, shifting uncomfortably in her seat because of the sleepiness that filled the air. She knew that History of Magic was suppose to be a boring subject, but honestly, she liked it. Her father had told her stories about the First and Second Wizarding War where a kid named Harry Potter had defeated the darkest wizard of all time, a man called Voldemort. She was hoping this was gonna be one of the first subjects the class would learn about so she could show the teacher that she in fact was interested.

'Why do we have to learn history of magic?' She thought for a long time. She slowly raised her hand and spoke slowly, trying to explain the best she could. "History of Magic is a very important subject because... We get to learn about our heritage and why we never reveal ourselves to Muggles. It's also important to learn about magical history as it helps us develope as witches and wizards. You know, learn from our previous mistakes and such." She nodded, satisfied with her answer. "Oh, it's also a good conversations starter for grown ups." She finished.

Jory thought about an answer to the question, raised his hand and said ''Gellert Grindewald.'' All the while he was also fixing his name plate so that the information was facing the Professor.

Justin sat down and quickly wrote out on the parchment provided:
Name : Justin Wellheart
Year : First
House : Hufflepuff

Aww. So Professor Scabior isn't fond of calling people by their names. And he was looking at her. Okay, that was really her. She just liked doing that, though she really ought to remember to ask permission first. And so, it was next on her mental note list.

So, one important person in the Magical History eh ?

Think. Think. Think. That was right. This person ought to be a very important one. "Bathilda Bagshot Professor Scabior." she said. It was odd having an answer that was very short, she wasn't used to this one. But as she had made an offense at the very start of class, then she shouldn't even bother thinking of questioning the Professor.
