Next Lesson : Third Years

[den]

Grinning he quickly came into the room and shut the door behind him and went to the chalkboard. He wrote on the board, 'What I want you to do is quickly write a couple of sentences of what you've learned on Salem'

He needed this class to go rather quick. He needed go to London to the Ministry.

Guess who was the first person to enter the classroom? If you guessed that the first student was Melissa, well... You practially nailed the question. She had happened to be the first one to get to class, which was History of Magic, the class that she thought was a snoozefest. When she glanced at the board upon entering the room, she knew that it was going to be one of those snoozefest moments.

The assignment was to write down a couple of sentences about what you've learned about the whole Salem Witchcraft thing. Sounded simple, right? Well, considering what the teacher had said about it, it sounded easier said than done. He never really had a note-taking class in the first place. Most of the lessons he had were more hands-on, which was okay in Melissa's mind. But if she could have had a note-taking class where the teacher explained tons about it in the first place, she could have had more to give him.

She sat down at a desk in the second row, removed some parchment and a quill, and began to do the assignment on the board... Even if she knew that the 'couple of sentences' weren't a lot to begin with.

Dennis nodded. He was happy that Melissa was here. He sighed though that there was only a couple of students. "For being early you don't have too do it. Also 5 Points for Raveclaw." He said in a low voice.

Dennis shook his head he was mad because no students were showing up and none were being active. How would they pass? Hopefully they would pass the test which is coming closer and closer!

Aaryn slipped into class, fully aware that she was late. She sighed slightly and sat next to Melissa, frowning a little. Why must this always happen to her? She opened pulled out her notebook and wrote at the top in curvy handwriting. History of Magic

a couple sentences about salem;
there were witch trials in salem.
witches got persecuted there.

They weren't the best, but what did she care? She didn't. Exactly. It was just calss. Not like her future depended on History of Magic. She wasn't going to do that when she got older. No, she was going to do something different.

I walked in, taking a seat near the front, watching Mr. Gregory slowly. I frowned when I heard him whisper to Melissa, "For being early you don't have too do it. Also 5 Points for Raveclaw." Pulling out a roll of parchment I started writing down things I had learned by reading more about it but it was useless since my father was from Salem and he had told me history about my ancestors.

Writing down:
It all started when two girls were having epileptic fits and their family claimed it was more than that. Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne and Tituba were the first three being accused as witches. Sadly two were muggles and one was a witch. From what my father had told me, his side of the family, I was related to Sarah Good. She managed to escape by creating a doppelgänger and apparated to another city with family, the Thornes to be exact, and took her in as a distant 'cousin' Sarah Thorne. She changed her appearance to avoid anyone noticing her. She went back to Salem in disguise to avoid any problems. She managed to help one muggle escape and met more witches who had place freezing charms on fires and would pretend to be burned. She never returns to find her husband and actually married Nathaniel Thorne.

Many muggle were burned and some witches and wizards managed to escape before they were actually caught.

I got up, turning my work in and whispered to Mr. Gregory "You know its unfair to let someone not do the work and give them points just for being early. You don't succeed in life by being early you know. Oh if you run into my aunt tell her I said hi. Her name is Julia and she works at the ministry." With that I turned on my heel and left the classroom.

He nodded at the three girls and smiled. "Well I'm glad too say that all three of you are actually passing this class. I would love too say." He said coming to the attention of the girl. He whispered back, "Well I'm the teacher so I do what I want. Sure no problem." He winked.

"Er.. I guess you two are ready for the test next week. It will be very easy. I will be posting grades soon. Some really need the test to catch up. So any concerns before you ladies take it?" He asked.

[Illusion Avery Rayne]

Illusion hastily walked to her History Of Magic class. She was, quite sad, she was late she knew it. Opening the door, she came to find.. She wasn't the only one who was late. This class only had. 3 Students all girls. Well this will be a most interesting class. Illusion thought.

Looking at the board she saw the assignment given to them. Salem Witch Trials. Illusion smiled. She knew quite abit about the trials.
Taking out some parchment, she slowly went to work.

Salem Witch Trials Were Held in 1692.
Those Accused, For Doing Witch Craft, Which Was Banned.
'Witches' We're Hung, Or Drowned.
It was Belived, If They Tied Them On A Board, And Placed Them In The Lake, And Left Them There. When They Returned, If They We're Alive, They We're Human, If They Didn't They We're A Witch.
Other 'Trials' Were Held In Salem Village, Salem Town, Ipswich and Andover.
Hundreds we're killed, because they we're 'witches' Some how you have to wonder, if anyone of those we're witches at all?

David entered the classroom. "Hey dude!" he said to TA for the heck of it. He was the dude, he could still remember, that he saw at the forest. Good times...He wasn't that late to class but he knew that people were already writing. David quickly looked at the board. Salem's Witch trial? That's that thing they learned the other class right?
