Default History of Magic Lesson One



Due to the Weasley Swamp having now overtaken the middle of the first floor corridor, it is nearly impossible to get to class without getting wet. But Professor Glendower had come up with an ingenious idea to save her students from having to dive in! She was able to construct and duplicate rafts and oars to help get the students of Hogwarts from one side of the corridor to the next - namely to her classroom! They are stacked along one side of the swamp as you get to it and there is enough for everyone to get across and go to class. Just leave them at the other side so you can get back across when class is over.

Once you arrive at the classroom door you are greeted with the large sign that hangs outside - one that a returning student probably was already expecting.

Quote:
Make an Entrance

Respectfully


As you enter the room, you may become increasingly aware of the soft, yet upbeat music playing that the professor is also singing along to as she looks over her notes at her podium. Come on in and take a seat.. class will begin shortly!


OOC - The swamp isn't that deep - only about waist-high - no drowning or serious injury, please. But it does block the way to class, so rafts are your best bet

That's a great idea!" Norah reached up to slap Kate a high five. MAN, she was on top of it. It made her feel an eensy bit bad since she'd been hoping to show at least a little of how mature she was now, at age THIRTEEN, but this was awesome! Hopefully they were proud of themselves, 'cause she sure would be if she could come up with such cool ideas on the spot. "But I think we should make sure to say that you haven't got to be good at all those things necessarily, just have a lot of creativity 'n stuff." New house or not it was still mean to exclude people 'cause they were bad at things. Obviously.

But, on to the most importantest part. "Can one of the house colors be purple?!"

They just needed to befriend the sorting hat now.

"Purples's cool. And how about white as the accent color?" Would give them the opposite of the black of Hufflepuff. "So what are we going to call this house, and what animal will represent it?"

She wanted for them to stop talking before saying what she wanted to say because she wanted to let people hear her ideas which wasn't too much like her but then again she would normally keep to her friends for group projects. It was nice to be in a group with different people that she barely knew because she didn't know what they were going to say and it really interested her.

Emmylou smiled and finally spoke up. "About the names for the houses, what if we used our last names like the actual founders of Hogwarts?" It was a thought. "Maybe we can pick the colors for our houses?" Also just a thought. She wasn't sure what they liked.

'Cause the third year wasn't really sure how to get anybody to do anything not using chocolate frogs.

"Purple and white sounds pretty! But I dunno what animal, I like allll of them. Okay, besides spiders. Lets not do those." Because EW. Norah furrowed her brows a bit as she thought about Emmy's suggestion. "D'ya mean like all of our last names put together? Mine's Kittredge..." She didn't know all of theirs, but maybe they were less boring than Kittredge. "First names could work too, if last names don't." NorEmMarKate? EmKaMarNor? Heh. That'd sound pretty funny.

"What sort of animals are extra magical or creative? Unicorns?" Margo asked, all though she LOVED unicorns would boys sorted into this new house appreciate unicorn as their mascot?


Kate was steadily taking mental notes as the conversation in the group continued. Kate smiled when Norah reached up for a high five, and then she met that high five with one of her own. "We can have purple as the new house's color," Kate said, agreeing and nodding along. "Isn't that the color for staff?" She shrugged. She didn't know, but did it really matter if purple was used twice? Probably not. She also thought rainbow would be good for the artistic type, but then again, people probably wouldn't take people in rainbow ties seriously come to think about it.

Now they were talking about house animals, and the unicorn immediately came to Kate's mind. "I was just about to say that!" she said to Margo, obviously agreeing with that decision. So they were the purple unicorns so far. "The boys sorted into this house would have a fit," she said with a laugh. Okay, so a house name. "My last name's Addison," she said in reply to Margo's question. She had no idea how to combine all their names into one, though.

Norah's eyes widened as Margo Spoke. Margo HOLIDAY. That was AWESOME. She wished her last name was that cool. Her brother's name was Sebastian just like the crab dude in that muggle movie, and SHE was stuck with boring old Norah and boring old Lillian and boring old Kittredge. She was going to change her middle to McSparkles one day, she WAS. And then the talk turned to unicorns, which was always appreciated. "Unicorns are super duper cool, but none of the other houses have magical animals." Two mammals, a reptile, and a bird. "I guess it doesn't matter too much if we want to be unique, though. I bet SOME boys like unicorns, just like some girls don't like unicorns." Fore reasons that were COMPLETELY beyond her because unicorns were the coolest. "Other animals can be creative too, though. My brother once told me that elephants can paint!" If that wasn't AWESOME, the third year really didn't know what was. But it didn't look like they were much closer to making a decision on that subject. Oops? Animals were just so fun to talk about.

Angel giggled as she looked at Benny. "Yeah, I did, I got you good." Angel wondered why Benny had turned away, had he let her get him just because she was a girl and he was a boy... it seemed weird, she hoped not because then she would be upset.

Angel got Benny a unicorn horn. "There's something for you to look like a unicorn." Angel then giggled as she looked at what she had to do. She looked at the gang and then smiled as she did all her things.

Angel then started doing a few things and made a show of it. "So ladies and gentlemen, one of the biggest and best house in the universe would like to introduce you to their star students." Angel giggled as she looked at Benny. "Oh and lets not forget our mascot, which as you can all see is a Unicorn." Angel was totally an announcer now.

So orange and green was out so they wouldn't match a pumpkin in their colors. Okay that was alright. And purple wasn't too crazy a color. Benny was at least glad he didn't actually have to dress in a uniform that actually was designed to have those colors. Nope, he'd stick with his Gryffindor colors of red and gold. Well later...once he cleaned off all the glitter and returned to normal.

So get your laughter out now, Rehman.

Yes AJ, no keeping the boy unicorn. He was Angel's unicorn. Dragon. Whatever creature he was really. Dragon...Adi said it himself...and that's what he would always be deep down despite what classes might do to him. Or, as he absently fingered his white hair, he did to himself. "More colorful...wha---" he started to question, breaking off as the Hufflepuff added more glitter onto his hair or mane.

And then Angel provided what she had apparently found. A horn...the crown of his mascot costume. "Um...thanks," he said as he accepted it, adding it onto his head since she couldn't reach.
He was so glad there wasn't a mirror around.

----------------------------

When they were up for presenting, Benny couldn't help but swallow. And another shake of his head at the singing question. It was now or never and it wasn't like they, or rather he, had a choice seeing as Adi was quick to move up to the front of the class and expected them all to follow. One foot...and then the other Atreyu, he instructed himself, pushing himself forward to follow his bestie so they could do the group project. No singing required.

He just allowed his scarf tail to swing as he moved like the lion-like tail a unicorn had. And he was sure that he was shedding glitter everywhere as well with his movement as it wasn't like it was glued down....thankfully. Benny stood beside Adi and listened as the choices they had made were explained to the class, raising a slight eyebrow as added stuff about the founder was made up off the cuff.

And then it was his time for the focus to be on him., the boy-unicorn snorting as he was mentioned complete with the Harley nickname. Whatever...he was here....being the unicorn as best he could on two legs, bending his arms absently like they were front hooves in front of him.

Nessa was busy milling through the room, observing her students as they got to work and listened in on some of the conversations. Goodness, they were such hard workers! and so creative too. But she really already knew that. It was rather interesting to hear some of the ideas the groups had whether for a new house or for a houseless system and she was quite eager to see some of the presentations.

And it looked like she wouldn't have to wait much longer as one of the groups seemed ready to begin. She heard a 'ladies and gentlemen' from one of the girls and she glanced around before taking a seat at one of the empty student desks. She nodded encouragingly as they got started. Oh, a unicorn for their mascot! Interesting choice and very creative costuming. She chuckled a bit at the snorting, then clapped a little for his part in the show. But she wasn't sure that the group was completely finished. Did they have more to explain their choices?

Angel looked as the Professor started watching them this was going to be hard. "Basically, in this house we are very interesting, we produce a lot of famous people." Angel giggled as she started to parade around the front of the classroom. "Though people in this house don't let that go to our heads we are very committed to working hard." Angel said truthfully. "The unicorn is our mascot, I think it's because it means you can believe in anything and you can become anything you want too." Angel hoped she was saying that right, that was what a unicorn was for right. "And we have one of the most amazing guys in the world portraying our unicorn." Angel wasn't going to let Benny getting away with just standing there. "Give them a show Benny." Angel giggled, now this was 2-0 to her right, see she could get him all the time. "The house we are all in is Astra." Angel looked around at the rest of the gang, they could take over now right.

If only Slytherin had just hung back and let him do his thing, like Caleb was doing now, they'd have saved themselves hundreds of years of fighting!

"I like that! Good idea, kid," Caleb said with a grin. He took out his parchment and started to jot down what they'd decided on.



Orange seemed like a good color to start with too, since the orange hadn't be used in anything else. "How about...orange and copper maybe? Those might look nice," he suggested. They also weren't used by any other houses, so there was that as well.

"And what are we going to call it?" he added. "Maybe a mix of our names?" he suggested. Wait - WHAT was this kid's name? Had he asked? Oh geez, nice going Newell...
HE LIKED IT? Prefect Dude liked his idea! "Awesome." Yeah, just that, EXACTLY that. It was awesome. They were finally getting somewhere with this thing, never mind the fact that they still needed to present something to the class, he was sure they wouldn't mind if they just spoke at them, or if their student leader Prefect Dude spoke at them. Yep.

Ooohhhh, copper! "That works, and maybe a bit of black for like, contrasting or something?" Bright colours were bright without something to cut through it.

The name part he could see being hard. Like... yeah. Hard on TWO levels, cause merging names could be all sorts of painful, but on top of that... he actually didn't know the Prefect's name. Whoops? "I'm open to trying," he said slowly, hoping the older dude would take the lead. A thought did strike him though, and it wasn't a productive one, it was just well... his name was awkward, and he wasn't sure he wanted to use his proper name, cause he wanted to change his proper name.. so... "Actually, no, use my other name that will be my new name once I convince mum.. Browne." Funny that though, wasn't it? Cause he couldn't see her thrilled at having her name attached to a house of creatives and with the colour orange no less. Hehehe.

"And we need a mascot!"

So he had his house... or, at least, he had the TRAITS of a house, and knew of the type of people that would go there, and even head a sort of mental image of what the hypothetical secret founder looked like (and... y'know, had accidentally created a backstory too but that was whatever). Now he needed to NAME that house, maybe think of some house colours, and an emblem. And draw the house crest or something, and do the creative thing.

Again, Toby sat there tapping his quill against his parchment, and looked around the room for inspiration. But as everyone in this room was sorted into an existing Hogwarts house, he found it hard to think of something new. So instead, Toby looked out the window, and hoped to find inspiration out there, or at least let his mind wander with less distractions.

It took a while, maybe because he ended up tracking the movements of two excitable, dancing birds, way up in the sky, but Toby eventually returned to Earth with a jolt (metaphorically speaking) and got back to writing on his parchment in an action so sudden and quick he almost startled himself.

House emblem: Chamaeleon. They're so different and weird and amazing but they blend in and camoflage themselves which I think makes them super mysterious, you know? It was either this or a wolf, because of wolves being all enigmatic. A wolf would fit in with the other animal symbols, but I think this one works well too.

House name:
Here, Toby stalled. He didn't know. Didn't have a clue what the house name could be, because the hypothetical secret founder didn't actually exist, and hadn't been named either. Uhhh... this part was probably the hardest part. Toby would... Toby would think on that while he did the other things.

Things couldn't be better with this activity. It wasn't as good as having her very own real unicorn, but it was the next best thing. So far Benny was coming across nicely. What else could make him a perfect unicorn? He was good on the glitter department because Angel practically dumped a whole bucket on him. It was the horn. There was something wrong with the horn. It just didn't look majestic enough to her. "You need more glitter, Benny." Only AJ wouldn't just be dumping it on him all willy nilly.

The lion went over and rummaged in the boxes the professor had out for them. There was probably a spell for this, but AJ didn't have time to get it perfected before they would have to go up in front of the class. AHA! A glue stick. This was exactly what she needed. AJ stood on her tip toes and rubbed the glue stick over every inch of the makeshift horn. Next, she sprinkled glitter alllll over. "There. Now you are perfect." She stood back a moment and admired her handiwork.

Keep Benny? AJ laughed. "I want my own real unicorn, Adi." There was no getting out of that. Dressing Benny up was fun, but it just wasn't going to do.

Orange and purple were going to be their colors, and AJ was okay with that. The color combo was out there and so really dug it. This wasn't going to be a boring house. Adi was ready with his presentation so she followed the group up to the front of the class and waited for him to explain with words so she could explain with actions.

To work on the house crest, Toby shrugged off his own outer school robes and twisted them around so he could look at that crest properly. It was weird, how little he'd really looked at it before, given that he'd been wearing it for over five years now, AND they had it on their Quidditch things too, which he always paid a lot more attention to. Hmkaayyyyyy.

Problem with using a chamaeleon here was that... Toby wasn't entirely sure just how to draw one. Sure, he'd SEEN one before. Or, well... pictures. Maybe stuff from a documentary or two from when he'd been stuck inside back home and decided to watch TV shows about animals (that never lasted long; the whole 'circle of life' thing had always been a bit too... uh... upsetting for his tastes). But it was a lot harder to remember and draw from that. BUT HE TRIED. He got a new piece of parchment and roughly sketched out the general outline of a chamaeleon. It was... not great, but he was SO SURE that he got certain features in there that made it obvious what the creature was supposed to be. Then Toby added in all the other fancy crest background stuff, but he didn't have any coloured ink (well, he did, somewhere, but it always got lost within the first week of school), so the Hufflepuff simply labelled the background with 'Purple' and the chamaeleon with 'Teal'.

But he needed to think of a name, because the crest had it written there at the bottom, and Toby was trying to emulate that. He cast about in his mind for something creative and maybe amusing, but nothing was coming to him. Time in class was surely about to run out, so Toby just went with the first thing that came to mind, printed it across the bottom of the new 'house crest', and added it to his notes.

They were ready, and AJ was having a hard time trying to stay still while she waited for Adi to begin. Her eyes shifted to Benny and wondered what was going through his little unicorn mind. Again... he is NOT real. It was sad how many times she had to tell herself that. It was pretty safe to say she had an unhealthy obsession with those majestic beauties.

Once Adi started to explain AJ started to skip around the group. She was quiet because her actions would speak louder than words, and Adi was speaking enough for all of them. When she turned the corner she held her hand out to high five Angel. See? She was having such a good time. This was what Adi was explaining. On her next trip around the group, AJ moon walked around them, and when she got close to Benny she grabbed his hands and moved him back and forth like they were having such a good time dancing to song. One more trip was made around her group and she danced a jig. When she got to Adi, she ruffled his hair and started to laugh as if he just told her the best joke ever.

Now Adi was talking about the serious side of the house which meant there wasn't anymore time for games. To act out that part of the presentation, sne sat down at a desk beside them and pulled out a book to read. She put a quill in between her teeth and tried to make it look like she was in deep concentration. There. How was that?

Kace heard Lux sharing traits for the house they were gonna come up with. He heard her list the traits and he smiled because he couldn't of said them better himself. "Exactly Lux. I think the lions have daring, chivalry, nerve and strong will..." he trailed off and looked to Puck and to see if he was right.

Puck grinned at the girl she hardly really knew and nodded, “oh c’mon I think the more the merrier” she grinned over to the Hufflepuffs…really this group was awfully Puffy.

“So…yeah clever name must be it!” She grinned “That is a brilliant Idea Bleu because really we’d want to know what the school was about before giving names that might not even fit the schools over all motto….and the houses’ traits and mottos as well.” She clearified and grinned.

Oh…so she wanted Gryffinpuff didn’t she? Puck thought as she listened to Lux’s words. “Well would you rather want a house that’s basically a rehashing of an already existing house or would you want a new one that people…people don’t reinvent themselves for?” She asked Lux in earnest.

As Kace described Gryffindor, Lux nodded. She couldn't have said it better herself and it was a very apt description of her favourite House. "Very true, Kace! Gryffindors are all those things and more." And Gryffinpuffs were a mix of the two that combined everything together perfectly.

Puck was asking her a question now, and Lux was a little confused since she had only been listing Hufflepuff traits. Was Puck a mind readers who knew she had just been thinking about Gryffinpuffs? "I thought we were making a new House, so I'd say the latter. But Gryffinpuff would be amazing." She smiled at Puck.

Kace heard Puck and Lux's ideas and he nodded and well he thought Gryffinpuff was a great idea but he was now leaning towards more making a new house with a unique name. "Hmm I am agreeing with you Puck. I would like to make a new house with a different name. I want to be creative." he shrugged. "Maybe we can go with a house name like one combining all of our names?" he grinned and he looked at Bleu and Puck. "Or maybe like our favorite animals? Like If I had a house my mascot would be a penguin.." he grinned sheepishly.

“I think you might have thought I was coming at you directly Lux, I didn’t mean to have it sound that way…I was just saying why not skip the step of describing the traits the houses already have and go from a new vantage point?” She offered, “like start completely fresh and come up with ideas that could make the houses stronger and more uniform…like the sorting would have to be a stronger thing.” She sighed.

“Like before magical in your head sorting the students could be sent out a psychiatric evaluation paperwork and the houses could be divided somewhat along the lines of Carl Jung’s personality types?” She offered and shrugged her shoulder.

“Or…we could just start fresh make houses with our names like Kace described” she exclaimed and pulled out a quill. “So what other mascots do we think we’d have? I know for me I love Cruppies” she grinned.



Bleu listened to everyone talking. She was like that...silent observer.

Whoa. Too much. To far. Bleu didn't think they needed completely new houses. She thought that only needed on more. "Hold on. We don't need 4 completely new houses. Besides we would have three houses that would basically be the same because three of us are all in the same house." She took a moment. "I think there should be a fifth house. We have the brains in ravenclaw, the jocks in gryffindor, the heathens in slytherin, and then there are the friendly nerds in hufflepuff." She paused for a moment, "What about those artistic students? Those students that like art, music, theater etc. What if there was a house for them?"

She thought a little more. She would totally be in this house. "Their mascot could be a creature that sings...like the siren or a mocking bird...," she suddenly felt really self conscious.

The last port of call in Toby's journey towards creating a new house was to try to write out what could be seen as an excerpt from the Sorting Hat's song about the house in question. Toby knew this was asking a lot. He didn't write creative stuff; simply didn't have that kind of brainpower. Creating something new and clever was often beyond his talents, but he still wanted to try. If he failed, then he had a bunch of notes to read from for his presentation thing.

Knowing that class would surely wind down soon, Toby loaded up his quill with ink and held it over the parchment, ready to go. He'd tried to trick himself, you see, with getting all prepped to start writing and making like he was about to put quill to parchment and seeing if the words would come on their own. That was how things usually went when he did homework, after all. And why half his homework was just one huge long rambly mess. But this time, no words, not a single one was coming to him.

Toby hestitated, though back to the most recent sorting, and started to write, being strangely cautious.

Wait, no... did that fit? Would it sound right in a poem with the sort of long House name coming straight after? Toby read it in his head, mouthing the words as he went, but when he reached the name of the house he screwed up his face a little and crossed it out. From then on, Toby worked as hard as he could, bent low over his parchment, but he was not finding this to be easy. Not one bit.

Perhaps in house Hogryfflerclaw

You'll see who find a find your somethingsomething

Those who fit in all or none

Will...

somethingsomethingsomething I don't know

I'm not a hat

I don't know how to write songs

I bet West Odessa would help me out

Basically this is a cool house

Lots of misfits and oddballs

And people who fit nowhere and everywhere

And mysterious enigmas

All together as one

This doesn't rhyme but shhh

Hogwarts
... Okay, yes, that had got sort of ridiculous. Just a smidge. Toby looked at what he'd written for just a moment before he picked up the parchment and bundled it all up into a ball, and shoved that in his pocket. He'd just read from his notes from earlier if needed. There was a ton of those AND he'd made a crest for the house. Nah, this was good. No song required, though it WOULD have been cool. Toby hesitated there, before picking up the quill again and starting to vaguely plan another song-type-thing. Not necessarily FOR the presentation. Not for anything, really. But... just in case. It would be cool to have something like that too.

STaying mindful of the time, Toby jotted some more things down.

Nessa continued watching the group's performance, listening to Angel speak about the Astra house. Sounded very interesting and uplifting. "What are the members famous for?" She supposed that fame came with a variety of reasons some good and some bad. She was curious to know what they thought.

They appeared to be about done and she glanced at her watch, seeing that class was already overdue. Oops. They had to finish up for homework. "Alright, class!" she announced, rising to her feet and calling for attention. "Time is up. Please return anything you have gotten out to the boxes and you may be dismissed. Anything you have not completed will be due for homework." She assisted cleaning a few things up, seeing the students out the door. Hopefully they wouldn't have too much trouble getting back across the swamp.
