HoM - 7th Years

[Keely Markum]

After lunch Keely made her way back to her room to ready for her 7th years. Naturally the class was to be the smallest of the lot because many students did not stay with the history class all seven years. She really couldn't blame them for it either. She herself had nearly dropped the course so many years agp.

But they might find this years lessons very interesting as they would be focusing on the second war with You-Know-Who starting with the birth of Harry Potter. Which would not, she guessed go over very well with the Slytherins in the group. But she would give it her best. Hopefully all would go well. If they did not, points would be lost.

She stood facing the door awaiting the arrival of her last class of the day. Before it was off to the library for the evening.

[Belinda Burke]

Belinda entered through the History of Magic classroom door. Lunch had just gotten over and it was now time for History of Magic Class, year 7. Belinda looked around the empty classroom. She was the first student there, something that rarely ever happened, she was head girl after all and being late to classes would not be an option his year.

“Good afternoon Mrs. Rogan.” Belinda smiled towards her teacher before taking a seat in the back. Belinda opened his History of Magic book and began skimming through the pages, she had no idea why she was here, and History of Magic was one of the classes she hated the most.

[Keely Markum]

"Ms. Burke, welcome. I trust the rest of your classmates are on their way as well." At least they best be. There was nothing more she hated than deducting points the first day of classes. "No worries I trust this years lessons will be much better then those you've had in the past." Then again anything would be better than Binns she thought.

[Evelyn Lestrange]

Evie arrived for history on time, in fact it appeared that she may even be early. The only other student in the room was Belinda. Evie took a seat next to Belinda and slung the strap of her bag over the back of her chair.

"Hey Be. You're here early."

[Belinda Burke]

“I know it has to be a first.” Belinda laughed looking up at Evie who had just joined her. “But it seems you’re quite early to. Isn’t that a coincidence?” Belinda laughed once again and continued to skim through her History of Magic book. “I sure hope this teachers better then Binns. I feel asleep during almost every lesson over the past 6 years.”

[Evelyn Lestrange]

Evie laughed because she also had had a bad habit of taking naps during her time in history of magic. But really, who could resist a little respite when Binns started going on about the wizarding government in 1200 AD. "I know. His voice was like a sleeping potion." She looked over at the new professor. "She's got to be better than him."

[Keely Markum]

"Alright, settle in everyone. I'm replacing Professor Binns this year, apparently he realized he is in fact deceased. So he has therefore decided to 'pass on' as it were." She heard the chuckles from some of the students and one or two "about time"'s from another.

"I'm Professor Rogan and I hope to make this class a bit less dull. Trust me I know the material is boring, but we'll manage. This term we'll be talking about the events that occurred on October 31st 1981 and those that followed." It would be interesting to cover to say the least with Slytherin and Gryffindors in the room. "I'm sure you all know what occurred that evening, would anyone like to refresh our memories?"
