Having to do something quick in London with a friend he needed to leave his class a small test for them. He quickly came into the room and went to his chalkboard and started to write the instructions for today's lesson.
He put his chalk down and moved over to the front of his desk and started to put down his papers in the center of the desk. Taking a quick look of the test to make sure there wasn't a mistake of anything.

Avery turned a corner in the hallway and blinked. At the other end of the hallway he was now in, for a split second, he thought he saw his History of Magic teacher running in the opposite direction. But why was he going away? Didn't he have a class to teach? Particularly, the class Avery was going to just now?
Shrugging, he entered the History of Magic classroom to find it empty. Looking around, he thought he had mixed his schedule up somehow. "Oh, don't tell me I have Herbology now," he groaned out loud, thinking about how Miss Kohn would have his head for dinner if he walked into her class late. But as soon as Avery turned around, he saw the notice that Mr. Gregory had left on the board. He read it several times before looking over at his desk where dead splat in the middle was a neat stack of papers. Avery grabbed the top one, looked over it a few times, and walked over to the closest desk before getting to work on his paper.
He forgot something at his desk. Shot.. he was terrible with this. He ran back into the class seeing that one student taking the test already. "Woo.. Your early.. Excellent. I'll be back soon and Five Points for Hufflepuff again." He said with a smile.
Reaching for the folder on his desk toke it and ran off.

"Ah, thanks!" Avery said after his teacher, who had dashed out the door. He tried to shake off his happiness of earning points for Hufflepuff by staring down at his paper. What God or Goddess was he going to write about? 'There's only one way to find out,' he thought, and he opened his History of Magic textbook and rummaged through it, hoping to find the name of a Greek God or Goddess.
Ten minutes later, Avery was sitting back in his chair, relaxing. The paper hadn't been too complicated but it definitely took him a lot longer than he thought it would. Looking it over, he wondered if he should change anything. He decided against it and stood up, stretched (it had been in intense ten minutes of writing) and walked over to his teacher's desk to set it down. As soon as he walked away, however, Avery went back to the desk and looked at his paper one more time.
1. Pick one God or Goddess and tell some information about them. What did they do. For Example: Gods Name : Known for Growing Plants. Then say how this was important. The Greek God Apollo was known as being the archer-god of medicine, and also as the god of light and healing. This makes it rather ironic that he was the one who brought about the Plague in Ancient Greece (he was blamed for it, at least). He was also the twin brother of Artemis.
2. Why The Ancient Greeks write Mythology? Name one story and what it was about. Mythology was written by them to explain why things happened. They didn't know why it rained at times, or why it was hot at other times, or why people got sick at times, or why the Plague came. So, they used the Gods and Goddesses as reasons. Greek Mythology was also packed with tons of stories, one of them being how Athens was founded. Erechtheus founded Athens and named it after Athena, the Greek Goddess. Athena was also Erechtheus's mother. He sacrificed his daughters one in order to save Greece. Poseidon, God of the sea, eventually killed Erechtheus and since then, Erechtheus has been considered one of the many gods of Athens.
Looking over his paper, Avery wasn't sure about it. He thought he could get anywhere from a 0 to a 100 on this assignment. He had finished it though, and he was happy. But now he didn't know whether he should send it to his teacher by owl, or leave it here. Avery thought he should leave it in the classroom, as his teacher was busy in London. He put his assignment facedown on Mr. Gregory's desk so that it blended in perfectly with all of the other papers scattered about (Avery didn't want other students to snatch his work). And with that, he walked out of the classroom.
Vivian walked into the classroom and when she saw the words on the board, she groaned. She had just entered the class and she was already being assigned work. She took a seat quickly before retrieving a blank sheet of parchment, her quill, and her ink bottle and set to work. She honestly didn't know the answer to the second question, but she figured that she could just make an educated guess.

Gyminee was walking on her way to History of Magic hoping she was at the right classroom this time. When Gyminee opened the door she noticed that there were only two other students there and was glad that she was actually kinda early. Gyminee also noticed that the board said that the teacher wasn't there and he left a small quiz. Gyminee kind of upset that the teacher wasn't there still followed what the board said anyways and got started. Gyminee looking at the board wasn't exactly sure what grade she would get at the end since quizzes and tests weren't her thing.But still, she tried.
1. Pick one God or Goddess and tell some information about them. What did they do. For Example: Gods Name : Known for Growing Plants. Then say how this was important.
Eros was the god of love and was also given the name Cupid by the Romans.Eros has bows and arrows which he uses to make people fall in love. This power that Eros has is important because he gives people a chance in love and gives people joy and happiness.
2. Why The Ancient Greeks write Mythology? Name one story and what it was about. The ancient Greeks write mythologies to explain why things happen and to show the history of certain gods,goddess and other things like ancient places. One of them is about Marathon which is a site for a Greek victory over Persians. In the myths it was told that in Marathon Lapith Peirithous was caught trying to steel Theseus' cattle.

Kera walked into the History of Magic classroom, and found a seat near the back of the room. She looked up at the board, and read what had been written on it. 'Oh great, a pop quiz.'she thought, and she sighed as she pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill. The first question was easy enough for her to answer, but the second was a bit tougher. She hadn't really read any Greek Mythology and didn't really know much about either. She decided she'd better take her best shot at it anyways.
Dennis quickly went into his office to get a big box filled with ........ and it was for his lesson. He smiled exiting his room going down the stairs back to the room. He smiled seeing a couple of students. "Oh. Excellent. Now if you did the you don't have to do the quiz, but if you do your House will get House Points." He said winking at them.
Putting the box on his desk he moved around the room. "Now I have a special little thing too show you. Do please wait a couple of minutes. Then we will begin." He said with a smile.
Entering the classroom she looked at the chalkboard. A pop quiz. Luckily, she had gotten the hang of this whole history thing between the last year and now. She sat down at one of the desks and set to work on the quiz. She chewed on the pen cap and filled out the answers to the questions. About a few minutes later she placed the quiz on Dennis' desk and sat at her own.

Dennis saw another Second Year enter the class. He sighed. Great a bunch of late ones I've got. "Well I'm starting anyways." He said. He moved to the front of the class and toke out a piece of cardboard which looked like a city. He put it on his desk. Then he toke out a character which was Athena.
"Alright. Who is this girl and what is this city?" He asked the class.
Looking at the cardboard city and the figure, she sat back in her seat and thought. A number of things were running through her head but one stood out in particular. She cleared her throat and for the first time decided to speak in one of her history classes. "Um, I believe that is the Greek Goddess Athena and the city is Athens which was named after her." She convinced herself that her answer was correct, and she was a lot more confident seeing as how she studied this stuff in a lot more detail than she did Egyptian history, up until last year.
Today was a special day. Question Day. Not for Dennis time for the students too be the teacher. "Alright today you guys can ask me whatever you want too know about Ancient Greece and I'll do my too answer it. Also then at the end of the lesson you guys get to grade me." He smiled.
"Then a sweat surprise If you know what I mean." He giggled. "Bring on the questions!" He announced.
Gerold walked into the class late as usual. Shrugging he took a seat near the back and looked up at the front of the class. He noticed the stack of quizzes sitting there. Pulling out his wand he quietly muttered "Wingardium Leviosa" and flicked the wand at the papers. To his slight surprise the topmost paper fluttered up. Using his wand he guided it back to his desk hoping he had not interrupted the class too much. Looking over it he thought for a moment and than began to write.
1. Pick one God or Goddess and tell some information about them. What did they do. For Example: Gods Name : Known for Growing Plants. Then say how this was important. Of all the Greek gods and goddesses few are as interesting or as important as Poseidon, the god of the sea. One of the three brothers who govern the differant spheres of existance, Poseidon rules over all things nautical. He was well known for riding a dolphin over the waves and for his vicious anger. He had the power to allow ships to reach their destinations quickly, or to wreck them at sea. For this reason he was one of the most feared gods. 2. Why The Ancient Greeks write Mythology? Name one story and what it was about. The ancient Greeks wrote mythology to explain about things that they could not understand. For instance they could not understand what the sun was so they wrote a story about Appolo driving the sun around in a chariot. Sometimes they also wrote stories as warnings. The story of Icarus is just such an example. In this story Icarus, a young man, is imprissoned with his father (the great inventor Daedalus) by King Midus. Desperate to escape the old inventor crafts a pair of wings made of wax and feathers. Before they fly away he warns his son not to fly too close to the sun. However, Icarus does not heed his father's instructions and instead flys near the sun. His wings melt and to his fathers dismay he falls into the water below and drowns. This story served as a warning to those who were too proud to heed warnings.
Gerold folded the paper and set it on the edge of his desk. The TA was asking anyone to ask him a question about ancient greece. Raising his hand he asked, "Sir, were there any witches or wizards who did not pretend to be gods or goddesses?

Looking at the late students he shook his head slightly. He giggled when he asked the question. "First Question asked by a Hufflepuff. As I knew." He said giggling to himself.
"Who did not.. Um.. well none of them never pretended they were a god or a goddess. Though they did say they were better then the wizards of Mt. Olympus which upset them." He said nodding his head.
"Let's keep them coming. Or no.. um.. treat." He laughed.
"I'm sorry professor," Gerold said, "I guess I should have taken better notes in the earlier classes." He hated asking dumb questions, and now the whole class saw him do it. He raised his hand again, "Well then sir, how widespread were witches and wizards in ancient Greece?"
Looking at the child again and smiled. He had another question. Dennis started to think for a minuted. "Hm.. well since all of them live on Mt. Olympus. Um.. I can't say the covered allot of Ancient Greece. Wizards were usually not common to find on Muggle Grounds." He stopped.
"That really rather hard to answer because well they all around Mt. Olympus." He ended.

Avery had been walking down the corridor, ready to enjoy the rest of his free period. He was ready to explore the grounds until his next class. He sighed, thinking about what he was going to do first when, unfortunately, he turned around when he heard a familiar voice: Mr. Gregory's voice. 'I thought he was in London,' Avery thought in his head. A bit confused, he saw his teacher practically gallop into the classroom. He wondered if he should go back to class. Avery looked at one end of the corridor, where freedom and fun lay, and at his History of Magic class, where darkness and confinement lurked.
Sighing, knowing it was the right thing to do, he turned around on his heel and marched back to the History of Magic classroom. He saw Mr. Gregory standing up in front of the classroom, teaching the four or five students in class. Avery had no idea what was going on, but his teacher appeared to be showing the class a cardboard cutout of something. Shrugging, he looked around for a seat and spotted Sabra. He ducked down slightly and walked to the seat next to her, sat down, and whispered, "What's going on? I'm confused."
Troy walked into the classroom late, he looked around and although he was late, thre were not too many people in the class anyway. He took a seat by himself at the back of the room and pulled out his equipment. He began on his quick quiz as he wanted to finish and leave the class as oon as possible.
1. Pick one God or Goddess and tell some information about them. What did they do. For Example: Gods Name : Known for Growing Plants. Then say how this was important.
Zeus was the supreme god of the olympians and he was the father of Perseus and Heracles. The Roman name for Zeus, was jupiter, possibly because he had the sky when he and his two brothers divided up the earth as Poseiden received the sea and Hades, the underworld.
2. Why The Ancient Greeks write Mythology? Name one story and what it was about.
The Ancient Greeks wrote Mythology because they belonged to their Gods and hereos. These stories explain the origins of the world and details the lives and adventures of their Gods and Goddesses.
Troy put his pen down and decided to take a rest he would deciede he would finish his paper in a while. He looked around, he hoped his quiz answers were okay he did not feel too confident about it. He saw that the T.A was busy answering questions at the moment as well.
Aly entered the room quickly to find that class had just started and yet not many students had arrived yet. Yay! At least she wouldn't be too much in trouble. Maybe he wouldn't notice her at all. Aly sat down quickly and listened to the class.
Ally walked into the classroom quickly and quietly. Maybe no one would see her. She saw her cousin Aly over in the corner and went to sit with her. She sat beside Aly. "Hey meet me at Hogsmeadde my long lost twin wants to meet you." Ally giglled then pulled out a peice of parchment. She then answered these questions: 1. Pick one God or Goddess and tell some information about them. What did they do. For Example: Gods Name : Known for Growing Plants. Then say how this was important._ I dont know
2. Why The Ancient Greeks write Mythology? Name one story and what it was about._ Clueless
Ally never attended History Of Magic. Maybe it was because Mr.Gregory made it so boring. "Mr. Gregory why are you so boring." She slapped herself. She had gone crazy. Sedcond time had been rude to a teacher.
