Default HoM: Lesson One

Another day, another History of Magic lesson. Stepping into the classroom not much has changed since the previous lessons. The open windows have allowed for some leaves to fly into various places in the classroom, not that Scabior would care enough to pick them up. That was a house elf’s job, or more specifically the nutjob caretaker’s.

The desks are arranged so that only two people are capable of sitting next to each other. A toy train placed on a circular track, strangely similar to another famous train sits between each pair of desks.

Up at the front of the classroom, Scabior is seated behind his desk instead of his usual stance of leaning against it. This is most likely because, placed smack in the middle of his desk is also a train on a track similar to the ones on each pair of desks. This train however is different from the others despite looking exactly the same. While the others all sit motionless on their tracks, the train on Scabior’s desk happens to be moving in a continuous motion around the track with a stream of gray smoke trailing behind as it.

“Hurry in, come on. Take your seats.” He would advise that they sit next to someone they would want to work with, but it was too much work.



Class Progression:
Question One: The Hogwarts Express
Question Two
Question Three
Question Four
Activity



OOC: Class will officially begin in, 81/2 hours. Please familiarize yourself with the updated classroom rules. Your characters can chat, dance, try to set the room on fire. Just remember Scabior is there, and SS and RPG rules apply. Class has officially started (i'll edit in whoever i've missed in this post)! Please no posts announcing late arrivals, as that will result in lost of points. If you want to join in, I encourage you to! Just act as though your character was there all along.

Juliette walked into the History of Magic classroom, her hopes not all too high. She hated the muggle history she had been subjected to before she came to Hogwarts, but maybe that was because they learned the same thing every year. She could probably recite by heart what she had learned so far in history class. She hoped History of Magic would be different, or this was going to be twice as boring as normal history. Although it was called History of Magic.

Walking to a desk around the back of the room, she heard a soft crunch of leaves under her feet. Leaves? She knew to expect anything at this school, but leaves where not normally in classrooms, even at Hogwarts. She looked down at the browns and reds and greens strewn across the floor. Some where broken by footsteps, some where intact, but they all had the look of something blown in by accident by an open window. A soft breeze confirmed this as it hit her face and made her smile.

She sat down at the empty table she was going to and strewn her bag over the back of the chair she sat down at, noticing a train sitting stationary on her desk. It looked familiar, but she couldn't place where she knew it, and decided it wasn't going to be all that important right now to figure it out. Instead, she looked around the rest of the classroom, and noticed that everyone had these trains, although the one on the professors desk was the only one that was moving. So they lesson was going to be about trains? Magic.... Trains... the Hogwarts Express! Where they going to talk about the train crash this year? Because hearing from older students, this was the first time this had happened. Hopefully they wheren't going to talk about the history of trains, or she was going to fall asleep, head in her hands and textbook open to the wrong page style. It wasn't that she was a bad student or anything either, she just suspected that the history of trains would put any student to sleep.

Messer walked to the HOM classroom, since its in the first floor its not that far from the Hufflepuff common room, so he didn't have to claim so many stairs. With his bag on his shoulder, the third year entered the classroom.

Was that a toy train? Blink. Blink. Blink. He wondered what's the toy train is for.

"Hello Professor Scabior." Messer gave him a polite nod before he went off to find himself an empty seat.
The fourth-year brunette might as well have plummeted to the floor as she entered the History of Magic Classroom with her devastating belief that she was late. A newly found Slytherin friend had rather kept her at the Great Hall longer than she expected. But since everything on their conversation turned out well, she was more of higher spirits to attend today's lesson than the usual.

Oh, haaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiii Scabbs. Passing the male Professor, Beezus offered a small bow, "Good day Professor Scabior." she said as she momentarily eyed the chugging train on his desk. Then she wheeled around and saw that each desk had one too, only that, their's wasn't moving. Gah, these brings back fresh memories on what happened during the recent train ride-turned-portkey journey.

She noticed that the desks were now limited to two people only, so she walked towards a familiar figure and settled beside him. "Hello Messer." BEAM. BEAM. MORE BEAMING. He was just so cute! She wanted to ruffle his hairs but she stuck with just staring at his overflowing charisma instead. Hehe.

History of Magic...again. Hannah wasn't in a bad or good mood. She was just simply there. She walked in and noticed the leaves on the ground. Ugh! She hated anything out of place. Still it was not her issue so she ignored them. Looking up from the ground she noticed the trains. Hmmm...interesting. She wondered for a moment what the lesson would be about today.

She spotted the professor seated at his desk this time. Getting more lazy as he ages eh? Still she gave him a nod. "Hello professor." Hannah then found her two empty seats and held the other one for her best friend. She wasn't going to let just anybody sit next to her.

Elise almost ran her way down the stairs, totally and utterly convinced that she was late. The common room had been deserted and her watch had stopped working. So she'd ended up bathing, dressing and getting her bag together in record time and even grabbed a granola bar from her drawer.

Breaaaathe, Elise. Inhale, Exhale. Okay, good. Moving into the classroom, she smiled at the chugging train on Professor Scabior's desk. "Good day, professor," she said, dipping her head a little.

And then promptly flopped herself into a chair, her bag still slung over her shoulder.

Silvia quickly made her way to History of Magic. Normally she would have arrived earlier, but she had spent a little longer in the library than she had meant to. But it wasn't like this was her favorite class or anything - though the lessons often were interesting - so not being one of the first there wasn't really a big deal as long as she was on time.

"Hello Professor," she said as she passed his desk, eyeing the train for a moment on the way to her seat. The third year brushed a leaf off her seat before sitting down. Another train model was on her desk. Clearly they would be learning about trains today, probably the Hogwarts express to be more precise.

Messer settled down in the nearest empty desks. He took out his quill, parchment and textbook from his bag before he put it down. Now, he was ready to learn.

While waiting for the lesson to start, the third year eyes were glued to the toy train. Its Hogwarts Express. Well, its not the actual Hogwarts Express, wasn't it? How could he missed that little detail earlier? He heard someone called his name when he looked up, he saw ....

Beezus..!!!

She was sitting there? In his desk? Beside him? Blink. Blink. Blink.

"Beezus! Hello!" He's about to hug the older Ravenclaw but then he remembered they're in class so he gave her a BIG smile instead. Today lesson going to be fun he can feel it.

Striding into the classroom, she made her way over to the Professor. "Hello, Professor. I'm Sutton Piatek... new student," she explained by way of introduction. Once the niceties were finished, she made her way to a desk and sat down, observing the trains in the room and wondering if they'd be talking about the Hogwarts Express today. For some reason, that gave Sutton a really strong feeling of foreboding...
And the first student to enter the class was a Hufflepuff. That wasn't exactly surprising. Their common room was the closest to his floor so they held that slight advantage in History of Magic, but most likely missed out with subject like Astronomy. Raising his head from the train as she introduced herself, Scabior gave her a warm glance."Nice to meet you Miss Piatek."

It reminded her of home where the family would spend hours setting up the train tracks on Christmas Day, so that the train would run around the Christmas Tree and along the miniature town they would set up.

Shaking her head to bring her back to the present, Alyssa walked up to the Professor and greeted him.

"Hello Professor. It is really good to be back in another of your classes." Alyssa smiled in greeting. Then she turned around and picked an empty desk and wondered who would join her. From the way the tables were arranged it looked like whoever sat with her would be partnering up with her.

While Alyssa waited for class to start, she took out her journal and writing materials and placed them on the desk. Then she pulled out her History of Magic textbook and turned the pages to see whether there was anything in that that mentioned the history of the Hogwarts Express and the town of Hogsmeade.
"Hello to you as well, Miss Potter." Could he say the same to having her in his class? Probably. Would he? No. It was Everett Scabior of course.

About why she nearly fell on the train and crashed to the ground from the portkey?

She dragged her rucksack onto the free seat beside her... Hopefully she wouldn't be forced into communication today. The blonde sat back in her seat and kept eyeing the circling Hogwarts Express. Interesting...
Points should be taken off for students to rude to say hello. Scabior would have done it. If he cared enough to. But he didn't. So instead he just stared at the Puff.

Maybe if she walked into the classroom with a bag over her head? No, the man would probably tell her it was an improvement or something and Kurumi really didn't need more flack from the man.

So, into the classroom as calm and collected as possible she went, stepping on a leaf that had come through the window. EEK! Kurumi bent down and scooped up the crumbled bits and tossed them in a rubbish bin before making her way towards the front of the room to take a seat. "Good day, professor," Kurumi said, noticing the trains on display but not commenting on them...especially the Hogwarts Express...brought up too many cringe worthy images at the moment. Namely Alice and her broken leg.

Kurumi quietly slipped into her seat and pulled out her things, lining them up on her desk while she waited.
Hollingbery. See, Scabior did not hate her. She only believed that he did. And after what happened over the summer, he knew for sure that there was at least one Hollingberry that he deeply disliked. "Morning." He offered a stiff nod.

Entering the class, the first thing she noticed was the train. Or trains. Which looked like Hogwarts Express. Oh! So were they gonna discuss the train matters at the start of the term? Ooh! This seemed interesting.

"Good day, Professor Scabior." Ira greeted, before taking a seat somewhere in the middle. Why were the desks all placed so as to be paired? Were they gonna pair off for an activity? Anyways, gathering everything out of her bag and settling it on her desk, she waited for class to start.
"Good day Miss Wilson." Her choice of desk in the middle was actually a good placement. Hm.

But she did drag herself here anyway because Sarah said they got to see mermaids last year and she figured something else could happen to distract them from their reading.

Entering the room she was more than a bit puzzled--but very excited to see trains. TRAINS! What would they be doing those those?! Would they run them into each other and see who's makes the biggest explosion????

That. Would. Be. Epic.

"Good morning Professero." Yup, the trains had put her in a great mood so she even flashed him a wide smile before taking a seat in the middle...leaves...

Mmm...

Lex took an extra second to brush the leaves from her desk but felt bad that they were now on the floor. House elves shouldn't have been given extra work..."Professor, why do you have so many leaves in the classroom? Are they apart of the lesson?" Because then she'd have to pick them up and put them back on her desk....
Professero? Was she attempting to start a new trend? And were the leaves part of the lesson? "Do they appear to be part of the lesson?" That was the real question.

He sulked his way into the class room and took notice of the all the Toy Trains between each desk. "How're you today Professor?" Oakey asked Scabior putting on a sort of smile. He moved to a desk some where near the middle and set his things down beside it watching the Toy Train. Go on Professor Scabior just how are you gonna make a class about trains interesting?
"I am doing well thank you Mister Gunter." Did the kid really expect him to say anythin else? Probably not.

Hmm interesting Minerva thought being distracted by it for a moment, but then her eyes went back to the professor, "Hello Professor.. " she trailed off and then turned to the student desks. Hmm more trains she thought this was interesting and she thought of what they might be doing for class today as she made her way towards the middle desks, the only class she was ever found not sitting in the front.
"Hello." She received a nod as well.

And she didn't hate him yet, she just hated his carelessness about everything other than his teaching.

Anyways, the Ravenclaw walked into the classroom, paused and raised her eyebrows. Trains? That was new. They weren't going to discuss the near history, were they? About when the Hogwarts Express broke down? Hehehe, that'd be fun. She waved at the man, "Hello professor Scabior." And moved to sit on one of the empty desks. Hopefully someone studious would join her instead of a class snoring Reem.
Scabior didn't disagree with the choice of Head Girl this year. He completely disagreed. Louisa Carter had never acted Head Girl material in his classroom. "Miss Carter." That was the real question.

As she got closer to one of the desk pairs, she saw the resemblance between the small train and the Hogwarts Express. Something told her this wasn't a coincidence. "Hello, Professor Scabior," she said, a little less cheerily than she might have otherwise. Please tell me this isn't going to be about a certain event from the beginning of term.... She took her seat, placing her bag on the floor underneath her desk, just so no one would trip on it.

Walking inside the room, Juliet saw the professor and she also saw a train. What on Merlin's beard will they be talking about today? Something to do with trains? Or transportation, as general. Juliet gave the professor a smile "Good day professor" and then her eyes returned to look at the train again. She then sat down.
A new student. Slytherin too. Hm. "Good day."

The small blonde made her way to the right side of the classroom, plopping down in the nearest empty set of desks. She placed her bag next to her chair, pulling out her quill and parchment, before observing the train in front of her more closely. Hogwarts Express? Wicked.
Could the same be said in return? Eh. Not to him, and so his response was simple. "I would like to believe that is it always nice for my students to catch some glimps of me in my classes." Touch of sarcasm. It was good. .

He took in the model trains and the tracks. The badger smiled. As side of the fact that they reminded him of the ones he had when he was smaller, they were the smaller versions of the Hogwarts Express.

"Today's gonna be exciting,'' he decided as he went off to take a seat.
Well, if a Puff seemed excited that meant he was doing his job right. Or just that they were too easy to please. Either way;"Hello Mister Stonewall."

She stepped in the classroom and greeted, "Good morning, Professor Scabior," Kat smiled. "How was your summer?" Kat took a seat at her usual place, at the right side. As she sat down, she noticed a toy train and its circular track on her desk. Hmmm... I wonder what the lesson's about. Maybe this is a smaller representation of the Hogwarts Train! Kat thought to herself.
"It was excellent, thank you Miss Hudson." That was the most she, or any student would get out of him about his summer.

Cos he never usually cared.

If the lesson was about trains today, Theo took a mental note to brace himself for bordom. He pulled up a seat next to Ella, purely because she was the first of his friends that he could see. "Hey." He said, grinning widely at the blonde.

...
Uh-huh, Ella would be putting up with a Theodore today. Sorryyyyy.
Oh Theodore. Scabior gave the boy the smallest of smiles. No. He was not going to try to make him cry today so the boy was safe. "I'm doing well, thank you for asking Mister Kinsley."

It would be odd to enter the classroom looking like she had been chased by a rabid animal. Melanie steadied her swaying ponytail and walked into the classroom with a smile. History of Magic shouldn't be too hard.

"Hello, Professor," Melanie greeted, before her brown eyes found the scarlet train on his desk.

OH. She knew that train! Melanie had rode it to Hogwarts! And it was so cool with the smoke and everything. She wondered if the professor had programmed the model to break down like the actual train had. Staring at the train for a few more seconds, Melanie moved to take a seat, hearing the crunching of leaves from under her foot as she did so. Leaves? Oh, it was because the window was open... Melanie did wish she brought her hat now, it would be warmer that way... but she hadn't. Melanie sat in a seat somewhat close to the front.

She wanted a good view of the train.
Students just seemed to be pilling in now. Of course. They all just wanted to come at once."Good morning."

However, when seeing the trains and especially the one which is running on the professor's desk, Cassia grinned widely and got excited right away. Apparently that should be a fun class.

She stepped closer to the professor and beamed at him, "Good day Professor." She fought the urge not to ask him about the trains, but he probably won't answer yet. So better wait for the lesson to start.

The second-year bounced towards one of the chairs and sat down.The seat next to her was vacant someone of her friends can join her or any student. Until then ,Cassia started fiddling with her bags straps because she needed something to occupy her till the lesson starts.
"Good day." He yawned. Maybe afternoon classes would be a good idea?

Some students just did not say hello. And Scabior did not mind one bit.

SO.

Aspen chose a seat next to her. Not TOO close though, as Aspen moved her chair to the very, very, very, edge of the desk. In fact, if someone wanted, they could move in the middle of the two Ravenclaw girls. If they wanted.

She pushed the train on their table around on the track juuuuuuuust a little. Just a nudge. Just enough to get it choo-chooing a little. All the while, the bright blue Odessa eyes stared at the Head Girl. Game on.
The older Odessa was looking at him. Scabior looked back. He knew what that look was for. And no, he had not forgotten the letter, but it wasn't all that important either.

So, she greeted as she took a seat, "Good day, Professor," smile, and NO, she wasn't done, "Are you going to explain to us what happened to the train on the way to Hogwarts?" if so, how was that related to History, hmmm??
"Well, I'm not maintenance man, so unfortonately, I don't know exactly what happened. " He had his guesses.

Although it was called History of Magic.

Walking to a desk around the back of the room, she heard a soft crunch of leaves under her feet. Leaves? She knew to expect anything at this school, but leaves where not normally in classrooms, even at Hogwarts. She looked down at the browns and reds and greens strewn across the floor. Some where broken by footsteps, some where intact, but they all had the look of something blown in by accident by an open window. A soft breeze confirmed this as it hit her face and made her smile.

She sat down at the empty table she was going to and strewn her bag over the back of the chair she sat down at, noticing a train sitting stationary on her desk. It looked familiar, but she couldn't place where she knew it, and decided it wasn't going to be all that important right now to figure it out. Instead, she looked around the rest of the classroom, and noticed that everyone had these trains, although the one on the professors desk was the only one that was moving. So they lesson was going to be about trains? Magic.... Trains... the Hogwarts Express! Where they going to talk about the train crash this year? Because hearing from older students, this was the first time this had happened. Hopefully they wheren't going to talk about the history of trains, or she was going to fall asleep, head in her hands and textbook open to the wrong page style. It wasn't that she was a bad student or anything either, she just suspected that the history of trains would put any student to sleep.
The no hi count was four. He enjoyed those four. Less work for him.

Oh, haaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiii Scabbs. Passing the male Professor, Beezus offered a small bow, "Good day Professor Scabior." she said as she momentarily eyed the chugging train on his desk. Then she wheeled around and saw that each desk had one too, only that, there's wasn't moving. Gah, these brings back fresh memories on what happened during the recent train ride-turned-portkey journey.

She noticed that the desks were now limited to two people only, so she walked towards a familiar figure and settled beside him. "Hello Messer." BEAM. BEAM. MORE BEAMING. He was just so cute! She wanted to ruffle his hairs but she stuck with just staring at his overflowing charisma instead. Hehe.
"Morning." Good day. Hello. She knew the drill basically, and she also got a slight look for the bow. Bowing to him. Hm.

She spotted the professor seated at his desk this time. Getting more lazy as he ages eh? Still she gave him a nod. "Hello professor." Hannah then found her two empty seats and held the other one for her best friend. She wasn't going to let just anybody sit next to her.
The flow of students seemed to stop and the last few were entering one by one."Hello."

Breaaaathe, Elise. Inhale, Exhale. Okay, good. Moving into the classroom, she smiled at the chugging train on Professor Scabior's desk. "Good day, professor," she said, dipping her head a little.

And then promptly flopped herself into a chair, her bag still slung over her shoulder.
Being late was unacceptable, but Elise wasn't late. So she probably didn't have to enter his class huffing and puffing."Good day."

"Hello Professor," she said as she passed his desk, eyeing the train for a moment on the way to her seat. The third year brushed a leaf off her seat before sitting down. Another train model was on her desk. Clearly they would be learning about trains today, probably the Hogwarts express to be more precise.
"Good morning. " Felt like he had said it so many times the words had no meaning left at all. Hm.

"Hello, Hello." Was she taking both desks for herself? Well, that would make what she had to do later a big harder for her.

Stealing a quick glance at the clock, Scabior sighed and pushed him self out of his seat. If anyone had not arrived yet, they were late. End of story. "Alright," Scabior cleared his throat, cutting off any little conversations going around the room. Many of them new better than to act out in his class. Usually. "As many of you know I am Professor Scabior and as you all should know this is History of Magic." Alright first years? Was that base covered? Excellent.

"Now a very important thing to note about History of Magic is that its a subject that continuously grows. Things that happened yesterday within the Wizarding community, are considered events in magical history." They could write this down if they wanted to, but they didn't need to. It was just something to keep in mind. History of Magic wasn't just about events that happened one thousand years ago.

Well, Sutton was kind of new to this world, but this professor seemed kind and like he was going to be a really good teacher, so she wanted to do her best to be involved in his class. Raising her hand tentatively, she said, "Well, Professor, I don't know much about it, but it looks really similar to trains we learned about in my Muggle history classes... they're steam-powered, and there was a big boom in the building of those in the 1930s while a lot of the Western world was going through an economic depression, so I would guess that maybe it is at least that old."

Minerva listened oh the bump that they went through, hmm Minerva heard about all that happened with the train ride, but since she had made it late to Hogwarts she had missed all the problems with the train. With everything that had been said she was kind of glad she did miss all that excitement the portkeys did not seem fun.

She thought about things that had happened with the train before and one thing came to mind first, putting up her hand and waiting her turn she answered, "Well I remember reading that the train was stopped because dementors once came on to try and find a prisoner that had broken free from Azkaban." Yes she did remember reading that in the many books she checked out of the library. So that could have been a bump once with the train, thankfully they had never had that type of bump.

Well they were getting straight to the trains! That was a good thing though, Hannah could definitely appreciate the no nonsense. She thought about the Hogwarts Express and tried to get something to surface to her mind about it. She knew that it always came at exactly 11:00, but that wasn't historic. Think Hannah.


Aha! With a raised hand she said "Professor it was built in 1936 by none other than muggle engineers." How about them apples!!!

Sarah had read up on it alot, since the incident on the train 'It was made in 1936 and goees between the King's Cross Sation in London and HogsmedeThe train leaves Platform 9ľ without fail on 1 September at 11 o'clock in the morning, arriving at Hogsmeade Station in the early evening.' she paused to take abrath 'Ottaline Gambol had the idea in order to transport students to and from Hogwarts during the year. The only adults on board are usually the driver and the witch with the tea trolley.' She looked at the model of the train before her... this scarlet train was important to the running of Hogwarts

Alyssa thought for awhile before raising her hand.

"Professor everyone in Hogwarts past and present has ridden the steam engine train. " Alyssa paused to remember what she had read about it.

"It was originally built by muggle engineers but then the then Minister of Magic decided that the train would be of better use for the Hogwarts students. The Ministry of Magic cast over a 167 charms to 'steal' the train from them."

Oh phew..it seemed as though Professor Scabior wasn't going to give her death glares or something of that nature this lesson. At least not yet. This made the Gryffindor relax in her seat and ALMOST offer the man a polite smile when he returned her greeting.

Almost. But no.

And then class began and Kurumi leaned back in her seat a bit. Historical facts about the Hogwarts Express? Kurumi thought she knew something. Something she had come across in her reading once, so her hand went right up. "I believe that the use of the Hogwarts Express began after the Statute of Wizarding Secrecy was instated and the wizarding population needed to find a more discreet way of traveling to and from Hogwarts. Eventually, Ottaline Gambol came up with the idea of using a steam engine and what is rumored to have used the largest Concealment Charm ever used in Britain."

Beezus..!!!

She was sitting there? In his desk? Beside him? Blink. Blink. Blink.

"Beezus! Hello!" He's about to hug the older Ravenclaw but then he remembered they're in class so he gave her a BIG smile instead. Today lesson going to be fun he can feel it.
Hmm? Ecstatic and cute way of greeting? Check. Adorable expression. Check. Mesmerizing voice. Check. Oh, Messer. Why did the younger Hufflepuff occupied such a high place in her most favorite male species, she didn't know.

N'aww. He smiled at her, she also smiled at him in return. They can chit-chat more later, when Professor Scabior wasn't babbling his own stuff.

Introductions to the subject and to the Professor. Nod. Nod. Just like the usual flow.

Hovering her attention to the man, she listened intently. See, those toy trains really had something to do with their journey back to Hogwarts. She was still looking for loopholes on what happened for somehow, she believed the Ministry had something to do with the train breaking in the middle of London, and a Department Head ever so quick to give them assistance. It was just....intriguing.

Historical facts, eh? Answers then rushing in and Beezus stared in amazement at the younger students, seemingly reciting passages from a book. What the heck?! She raised her hand, waited for her turn, then gave out her idea. " In order for the students of Hogwarts to have a safer and more comfortable alternative to Portkeys as they journey to the school, the Ministry of Magic conducted an operation that involved," errr...how many was that again?.. " one hundred...and sixty-seven Memory Charms, as well as the biggest Concealment Charm ever performed in Britain, in order to acquire the train..from errr, muggles."

So basically, there was thievery involved?

Laura suddenly blushed, she was too busy trying to see if the Professor was okay she forgot to take a seat. "Sorry Professor." Laura sighed as she skipped off to find an empty seat, when she had found one she sat down and waited for the lesson to start, which didn't take long.

Laura raised her hand and smiled. "Well the Hogwarts express is a steam engine." Laura smiled. "I think it's a 4-6-0 Hall class locomotive." Laura smiled. "Which means that it has 4 wheels at the front and 6 in the middle and none at the back." Laura had loved trains when she was a kid and she had gone train spotting more than once with her father.

Nigel was still enjoying his short nap. When he hears Scabior start the lesson. He heard the question and thought about the trivia he knew.

" The Hogwarts Express was built at Crewe, in Cheshire, England, in 1936"

He still had his eyes closed hoping he could continue his nap.

So Ella would have to sit next to sit next to Theo during this lesson? Eyebrows. All the third year hoped was that her younger friend would behave himself and resist any urges to whip his hair. Merlin knew that that hadn't ended well the last time. She smiled at him but didn't have time to greet him as Professor Scabior chose that moment to start the lesson.

They were going to be talking about what happened on the ride to Hogwarts? Ella sat up a little straighter, her curiosity peaked. She'd been wondering what the cause of that erm...unexpected occurrence was. But for now, facts about the Hogwarts Express. Hmm..."Professor, the Hogwarts Express was originally thought up by Minister Ottaline Gambol, who thought using a train would be a good way to get students to Hogwarts." Yup...and it was sometime in the 1930s though others had already mentioned that part.

Well see, everyone was saying boring answers and West, after listening to this whole 'things that happened yesterday' business, West put his hand up and said with perfect seriousness, "On September the first 2078, the Hogwarts Express stopped working and all the students had to take portkeys to get to Hogsmeade station." Paaause. Well. It WAS history now, right? "It only stops working when there are more adults on board than normal." He pointed out.

He'd obviously found the cause.

SO.

Aspen chose a seat next to her. Not TOO close though, as Aspen moved her chair to the very, very, very, edge of the desk. In fact, if someone wanted, they could move in the middle of the two Ravenclaw girls. If they wanted.

She pushed the train on their table around on the track juuuuuuuust a little. Just a nudge. Just enough to get it choo-chooing a little. All the while, the bright blue Odessa eyes stared at the Head Girl. Game on.
Nonononononononononononooooooooo... Louisa groaned, rubbed her forehead and sighed. THIS was neither studious nor class snoring Reem, it was WORSE. The fake vampiro Odessa chick. The undesirable. The biggest creepy crawlie in the shop.

But Louisa believed she didn't have to be... on edge. They haven't really disagreed on anything this term to make the vampiro go all jinxy on her. Besides, this was Scabior's class.... actually this just makes it WORSE. Yep, she was doomed today unless she completely ignored the girl if she went all weird and Odessa-like. Was she staring at Louisa, by the way? The Head Girl didn't dare to turn her head and find out. She was fine by just staring at the empty parchment in front of her.

....

Finally, the class started. She let out a feeble sigh and looked up, claiming the confident nonchalant face mask.

Ooh, they were going to talk about Hogwarts Express? How very predictable. It was somewhat interesting though, Louisa waited a few moments after Scabior finished talking, gathered some of the scattered info about the train in her head before raising her hand. "Back in the 1930s, there was a problem of the transportation of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry students, the Ministry of Magic at the time led a large-scale operation to obtain one of the Muggle trains, which is of course what we're talking about. The Hogwarts Express." So yeah, the wizards stole the train from some muggle company. Very honorable piece of history.

Milton slipped into a chair just as Scabior started speaking. Good. He wasn't late. He just hoped ol' Scabby wouldn't call him an idiot this year. Pff. Yes, he was still bitter.

When he spoke of the Hogwarts Express, Milton's mind wandered to the train ride to Hogwarts the previous month. That was just... weird. Maybe they'd figure out what went wrong. He DID know stuff about the history, actually. You read a lot of books when you're homeschooled. Milton raised his hand and waited his turn like a good little student. "It was made by muggles," like everyone else said. "And when it was finished, the Ministry did something like sixty memory charms on all the muggles that helped build it. And then they put a... a... a concealment charm on it, so they could take it from them." And somehow get it to King's Cross. Yep.

West. Twas a very good point actually. Sooo, he got a BEAM from Blue. Yep. The twelve-year-old raised her hand. Even though she knew the Hogwarts Express' history about as much as she knew how to produce a patronus charm. "It's a train. ....That muggles can't ride on cos it takes us to Hogwarts." Aaaaaand, because she felt like she needed to add more information...

"Ya get to it on a platform and ya hafta run through a WALL and you need a ticket."


Yeah...they probably all already new that.

Emmanuelle smiled at the professor's wave. Which quickly turned into a grimace as he explained what the lesson was going to be about. See, that had been exactly what she had been afraid of. They were going to talk about a certain little train ride. Which she had actually tried (and mostly succeeded) to put out of her brain. Ugh.

The good news, at least, was that they would be starting off with the history of train. Of course. To understand the present, it might help understand the past and all that. Raising her hand, she answered. "The wasn't always used to transport students to Hogwarts. In fact, it wasn't even thought of until the late 1930s." Which was basically the same answer her classmates were giving, just shortned. So how to make her answer more unique? "That little stopping incident wasn't the first time the train had stopped like that either. There was the one time, during Harry Potter's years here, that dementors came aboard. And the was another after that that ended in the students having to walk to the school." She was a bit fuzzy on that though for some reason. She thought it had something to do with some Voldemortist dude......

All she knew was that she was glad that Transportation guy had shown up with those portkeys.

History. One of the easiest subjects for Ness. Yes at times it was boring to her, but she did well in taking in facts and dates. She was good at memorizing those sort of things. It was theory and theory was her strength rather than practical work was. Having taken a seat next to her good friend Oakey, Ness paid full attention to what the Professor was saying.

The Hogwarts express! Aha! She knew that was what they were going to be talking about, from looking at all the toy trains. It was a little obvious, still she listened and when it came to putting in her input, she tried to put in as much as she could.

With a tiny pout she raised her hand. "Professor, all I know is that the Hogwarts Express has been used for many years, by all Hogwarts students. If I'm not mistaken I believe it was made in Ninteen Thirty...thirty six." That was the right date, right? That's at least what she rememebred.

Once she finished with her answer she took out some parchment and pretended to write down history notes. Meanwhile she was writing a note to Oakey. 'Hey, can I ask you to do me a favour?' Was what she wrote on her clean piece of parchment. She then folded it up and then when the professor wasn't looking she handed it over to him.

Really...the Hogwart's Express? It would be curious to know if that had been in the lesson plans before or after the first day of school when the train in question acted up. Either option was possible though with Scabior, one would never know because he would never admit having to change anything last minute. And now the first posed question of the class. Something about the train...hmm. Gideon listening to his classmates answer and trying to think of something else to say before raising his hand.

"Well originally built as a steam engine, it now is controlled exclusively by magic," he remarked as he lowered his hand. As in, whatever happened...happened because magic went wrong or was interferred with. Another curiousity.
