Lesson Three : Third Years

[den]

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.

History of Magic: Quick Quiz : Salem Witch Trails

1. Pick on person which was accused of Witch Craft and write a little about them and there case. Tell what they said. If not possible then write why you think they should be innocent.

2. Write some quick information about Tituba. Also did she ever accuse someone of Witchcraft? If so who?

Nodding a little he left the room and headed for London.

[xxbrokenheartxx]

[ooc: Dennis, this wasn't the best idea since the students hadn't been to the last lesson, because of the skip. ]

Aaryn walked into class. The TA wasn't there. Score! She looked at the board. A quiz? How was the new third year supposed to know. This was her first lesson as a third year. So why in the world were they getting a quiz. It proved the TA was even more of a moron. Didn't he known none of them were going to know what he was reading. She rolled her eyes. The idiot.

She might as well try start on it.

1. Pick on person which was accused of Witch Craft and write a little about them and there case. Tell what they said. If not possible then write why you think they should be innocent.

My mom. Hell. Why should I know? I didn't take this class, and I sure didn't study.

2. Write some quick information about Tituba. Also did she ever accuse someone of Witchcraft? If so who?

Tituba is obviously a person that was part of the Salem Witchcraft Trials in some way. What way? I have no clue. Why? Because I didn't get any lessons on it!

Aaryn set her test down. She hadn't gotten a single question right, but she didn't care. It was a bit obvious that no one would know this. Only losers who studied would. And who studied? Okay. Some people did. But Aaryn definitely didn't study. Why should she?

[ma]

Before Melissa could bother to perform yet another hissy fit (which was starting to be pretty common in her life at Trio's), she had already walked into the History of Magic room and glared at the board. A quiz? Was this guy kidding or what? And to make it worse, this quiz was about a subject she had never studied before: The Salem Witch Trials.

She was learning about Ancient Greece last time, and now she was supposed to take a pop quiz about a subject that was like Greek to her? She couldn't question whether or not the teacher was kidding, because she really thought this was the case now. Either way, she had noticed Aaryn already in the room, and the Ravenclaw figured she had already completed the quiz.

"What the hell? I just don't get it," Miss Atherton replied, sitting next to the Slytherin, where she had removed some parchment and a quill from her bag. At least she had arrived to the third class of hers. She could give the teacher a piece of her mind, in a written form, only because this guy was starting to get on her nerves as much as the Herbology woman was.

It wasn't long before Melissa completed her quiz. Actually, she didn't even write answers. It was very simple, and to her, it was very straightforward.

Dear Sir,

We weren't taught about this Salem Witch Trials yet in this term. I know this for a fact because in the last lesson, we were learning about Ancient Greece. I don't know about you, but I would perform better if I learned about the subject of the Salem Witch Trials before having questions about this placed in front of me. Fail me, if you must. But understand that I cannot give you answers at this point in time. Thank you.

And she signed her name below. "This is just insane," Melissa determined, turning over the piece of parchment on top of her desk. "You should see what I have written down on the other side. It's not a pretty sight."

David entered the classroom finding it, teacher [TA] less. Where was he? David wasn't sure but sure enough there was a note there saying that he had left them something to do. Oh great...Work. When David read the board, he was surprised to see that they would be taking a quiz about some witch trial or something. Ok...

David took a seat and quickly scribbled down what they were suppose to be answering. Kind of confused on how to answer them because he didn't think that they've learned about this at all. Or maybe they had but he wasn't paying atttention. Huh...

[occ: You were supposed too actually try to answer the questions. This was too see if you knew anything on the subject. It won't effect your grade in anyway. So dont worry no need to get upset ;] ]

Coming back with some boxes in his hands which were squares and rather warm he quickly went back up to his second years. He entered the classroom with a sigh. "Wow it's rather cold outside." He said. Putting the boxes on his desk he smiled. "Now don't worry about the tests. I just needed to keep you busy some how. Don't worry about answering them." He said rolling his eyes for a minute..

Would have been 100% better too just leave them nothing and let them talk. Way to go.. He smiled at the class. "Alright in class were going to preform a little play. So once everyone gets here I just want everyone too pick partners and then we'll do a little show." He said smiling.

"Then I have a treat for everyone which hopefully will stay warm for the whole class." He grinned. Maybe I will get better at this thing..

[xxbrokenheartxx]

[ooc: kk, it was still fun to write. [: ZOMG, you took my idea. *glomps*]

You should see what I have written down on the other side. It's not a pretty sight.

Aaryn grinned and nodded, but she didn't have time to reply.

Aaryn watched Dennis come in with boxes. Oh. God. They were going to act? This would be interesting. She was going to just pair up with Melissa. She turned to Melissa. "Apparently, we're acting," she said, "your gonna be my partner, right?" She grinned. She knew Melissa would say yes.

Then I have a treat for everyone which hopefully will stay warm for the whole class. That either meant really bad news, or really good news. Hopefully it meant really good news. Because really good news = food. And Aaryn loved food. It was a miracle she wasn't fat. She ate so much.

Bella looked around the classroom. She had just gotten in but it seem that its...empty-ish. She didn't know what had happened to the whole class. And what were they suppose to do? What test? They took a test? They were suppose to take a test? What? Bella was confused but she realized that the TA had said not to worry about them. That was a relief. Bella was panicking about that since she had just gotten into class and had no idea what to do, besides the last thing that the TA had said.

Finally, the teacher walked into class; hands occupied with boxes that had some mystery item stored inside of them. He had mentioned that he had hoped the product he had brought along with him remained hot for the duration of class. Melissa immediately thought of some donuts or brownies, or some other dessert. Yum... Snack time, she thought to herself, licking her lips as though she knew what she was getting herself into.

Before she could get up and make a beeline towards the boxes, the teacher wanted the three students in the room -- yes, for a class as small as the one like this one, there was still work to be done -- to partner up for a little play. Aaryn could tell that there was going to be acting involved in this. She asked the Ravenclaw if she was going to be her partner. Melissa nodded. "That wouldn't be a bad idea," she said, grinning. "I'll be your partner."

The smell from the boxes was still getting to Miss Atherton, however. What was in those darn things? Only time would tell, and hopefully, it would still be warm enough to eat. It was too darn chilly for an August day, and anything hot would be just the thing to warm a cold soul.

[den]

[occ: Yes you are.. Though I still like going with Second Years.. :] Anyways.. I will look at the paper.]

Not spilling the beans at all. He thought for a minute. This would go nice with some music. He moved over too the closet in the back and smiled. He got what looked like a Boom-Box. "I knew this would come in handy one day." He grinned. Taking a CD from his pocket he smiled and started to play some smooth rock music.

"I love this song." He smiled. My Immortal.. He smiled. "Excellent muggle band it is." He said. "Now I want everyone to come to the front of the class." He smiled.

"Then you will pick between your partner which person you want to be. Tituba or Sarah Good." He smiled. "This will be the sense where Tituba accuses Sarah Good of witchcraft. Now with your partner let's slowly make something you guy's would say to each other. Make it silly. Do whatever you need to do! Be creative." He smiled.

Moving the the box he laughed. "You wont believe what I've got you guys." He pointed to the box. "Three Boxes are filled with Pizza." He said opening the box of pizza. "The other two are filled of Chocolate Donuts!" He grinned.

"Feel free to take some while you do your little skit." He nodded. Moving over to Aaryn and Melissa too watch them 'preform.'

[jt]

Fayt walked in and nutted the wall next to him. He had missed a lesson again. He quietly took a seat. He pulled out his things and waited. There were loads of thoughts running through his head at the time.

[xxbrokenheartxx]

No. Way. He was bribing them with food. Aaryn loved muggle food. She rolled her eyes ever so slightly and then turned to Melissa. She smiled. She was going to be... Tituba. She would definitely feel silly doing this. Apparently she was going to accuse her of being a witch. Hahaha. This might be a little fun. She looked at Melissa. "I call Tituba!" She said, laughing.

So, now Dennis was watching. She felt like a total moron. Okay, here goes nothing. She cleared her throat. "This woman," she cried, and then blushed, she was being quite loud, "is a witch! Why? You ask. Simple, she has a wand!" Aaryn grabbed her own wand, since she didn't want to take Melissa's and pretended to be pulling it out of Melissa's pocket, "you see? And look, she can do magic, take it," she pretended to shove her wand into Melissa's hand but whispered under breath, "just pull out your own wand." And then she said aloud, "go ahead, show them what I saw, show them!" She cackled.

Okay. That was odd. Now it was Melissa's turn to make a fool of herself. Go Melissa.

Dezi was running late. Uh oh. Well, it wasn't his fault. Of course, it was entirely his fault, but he liked to think it wasn't because that way he didn't feel so guilty. Rushing down the hallway, he tucked in a bit of his shirt, as he'd gotten dressed in quite a rush today and hadn't noticed it was a bit untucked until now.

Upon walking into the room, he heard Aaryn shouting something about Melissa being a witch. Figuring they must be acting, he bit his lip. She was so cute. Smirking, he took a seat, watching Aaryn's act intently, wondering if she was at all embarrassed by him staring at her and she acting so funnily. [Funnily is not a word? I dunno.]

[xxbrokenheartxx]

She was finished yelling at Melissa. Now Melissa was taking a while to react. Perhaps she was thinking. She noticed Dezi come in. She blushed, he was watching her. And she was making an absolute fool in front of him. She couldn't make herself look like a fool in front of him. That would be bad. But she wasn't sure why yet.

She stared at the food longingly. Hopefully, Melissa would hurry up. So she could get food. And sit next to Dezi. And eat. She looked to Dennis for a moment. Perhaps he wasn't THAT bad after all. Maybe he was okay. Since he did get them food. And that was yummy. [:

[ma]

Melissa watched in 'fear' as Aaryn started to call the Ravenclaw out. Since this could be as ridiculous as possible, she had been accused of being a witch due to the fact that she was in possession of a wand. Aaryn pretended to take her own wand out of Miss Atherton's own pocket and proceeded to have her do a little spell.

'Just pull out your own wand.'

She quickly stood up and removed her wand out of her robes, then turned to face Aaryn. "I am deeply saddened by the fact that anyone would call me a witch," she stated, pointing her wand up into the air. "But if this woman here --" and she pointed to Aaryn with her arm and finger extended straight outward "-- really wants me to show you what I have 'done', then so be it."

Without thinking, she pointed her wand towards the teacher. The next words that had come out of her little lips were, "Immobulus!" The next thing she knew, she had just froze her teacher in the position he had been standing in. "I'm so sorry, Sir!" Just her luck.

[xxbrokenheartxx]

The wonderful Miss Atherton was doing very well. She pulled her own wand out of her pocket and began speaking. She cursed the teacher and Aaryn snorted with laughter. She looked to Melissa. "Very nice Melissa, very nice," she said. She looked to the frozen Dennis, and half of her wanted to leave him like that, but she did not.

"Finite Incantantum!" she said pointing at Dennis, who then became unfrozen.

"Sorry, sir," she mumbled, and then took a donut. She sat down next to Dezi. She took a bite and then looked at him. "How was I? Did I look like a nasty Tituba?" she asked, "was I good?"

She grinned, feebly.

[den]

There he was laughing at the act when he appeared to be frozen. As if nothing too do he didn't feel anything. Then he unfroze. He shock his head off. "It's alright but now you'll get this!" He shouted and laughing.

Taking a donut and threw it at Melissa's face. He started to laugh hard. "That's what you get for freezing me. Oh and great job Melissa and Aaryn. Though actually after Tituba accused Sarah Good of witchcraft Sarah Good accused Tituba of witchcraft also." He nodded his head.

Just telling them the lesson. "Okay you guys keep acting I'm just going to do some lesson. Who here can tell me a little about this contract with the devil? Anyone hear of these words?" He asked the class.

[ma]

The Ravenclaw giggled as Aaryn complimented her on such a fine job. Both of them did a fine job, which was okay considering this was a new topic for the both of them. "Eh, I tried," Melissa stated, not expecting to see the teacher throw a donut at her face. Boston Cream, it happened to be. She blatantly missed catching the donut; her wand still clenched in her hand. But she got the chocolate from the donut all over the tip of her nose. After finally catching the fumbling Boston Cream, she had no choice but to wipe the chocolate off of her nose. It tasted really good.

But back to the lesson. Melissa sat down, with her wand in one hand and the donut in the other. She slowly ate the treat the teacher threw at her while he continued with the Salem Witch Trials. Hey... Since she was going to learn, she might as well be treated in the process. (Or was it the other way around?) Either way, the teacher brought up a question. It had something to do with the Devil and a contract. Miss Atherton didn't even bother to raise her hand, only because her mouth was full, but as soon as she swallowed, she spoke up.

"I would assume that these people accused of being witches claimed that they didn't know what they were doing, first of all," she said, licking her chocolate-covered lips. "But did they give the Devil permission to do this kind of thing?" It was only a guess, and if it was an educated guess-turned surprisingly correct, then the Ravenclaw would be so thrilled with herself. And to think that this was a lesson she didn't know anything about. She hadn't read anything about it...

[den]

Dennis waited for the reply from his class. He smiled and toke a donut. He smiled. Mmmm powder. He giggled and powder came out of his mouth. "Eww." He said. Rolling his eyes he put his attention at Melissa.

He listened to her answer and grinned. "Well how should you know. Very good try Melissa. I should just teach the lesson." He paused. "Well the accused were told if they made a contract with the devil too preform with craft. The devil would threaten to kill them unless they did and it would force these people too do it." He said.

"Were still not sure if this was some insanity people see or it really happened to them though we go with what we have." He said. "So how do you think the people would plead if they asked if they did make a contract with the devil?" He asked them.

[Queety White]

Queety walked up to the History of Magic classroom door. She opened it slightly and peaked her head in. These students had given Dennis a little bit of trouble before and Queety felt it was her obligation to just make sure everything was all right. She grinned at her class, the students she had taught as first years when she first became a History teacher. She was proud to see how many of them were still attending classes regularly.

"Hi, guys," she said quietly. "Sorry to interupt, Den. Can I talk to you for a second?"

[den]

Denni waiting for a reply he saw a head pop threw the doors. He grinned seeing the Professor. She said she wanted to speak to him. Oh man.. stay cool and don't act stupid.. He sighed and nodded. "Of course Professor. Partin me class." He said.

He raised his eye browns moving closer too the door. He stepped out into the hallway. "What is it Queety?" He asked. "Care for a slice of p
