Class 1: Third Years

[/color] "Didn't they make them do strange tests or something. To prove if they were really a witch or not, of course." Well, there goes nothing. This third year finally spoke up in class. Hopefully it wont make her look all dumb-like or anything. Which she isnt, obviously.

Glacing at the boy next to her, it was no one other than DEZI! Heh, he actually knew who he was. How cute. "Hey" Was all he said to her, which is fine. Neither of them wanted to get in trouble, or well, Telly didnt, so she nodded a hello back. He was a nice boy, he really was, she just didnt know him very well. Odd though, since his sister, and Telly's brother, were dating. c:[/size][/font][/ul]

Joshua smiled and replied, "Well, Chantal, they did those to the Muggle girls who they thought where witches. They did test such as, tying breaks to your feet, and if you float, your not a witch. If you sink you are a witch. In todays modern world, its common since, your going to sink and die!" He said with a laugh. "However, what I was asking was what the Witches and Wizards did to the people who seen them do magic. What they did was, of course, kill them or keep them isolated. During this time they did not have todays magic to remove memory from Muggles. That comes later on. One thing we need to go over is, why did the general community not like the idea of magic? Any ideas?"

He decided he might as well speak. Raising a hand, he answered in a low voice, 'Perhaps it's because that they feared it. Since people died, the general community probably assumed it was the work of the Wizards and Witches, and that's why they feared them. They felt that they were different, and they were bad omens?' Brendan said this slowly, as his black orbs focused on the teacher, waiting for a response.

[[ooc: Actually, isn't it if the person drowned, they were not a witch?]]

Aaliyah raised her hand. "Wouldn't it be kind of religious to fear witchcraft? I mean, a lot of people today do and I don't see why back then witchcraft and wizardry were feared because it meant mere mortals had superhuman powers. I guess it would be scary if your best friend had the power to, I don't know, turn a pillow into a chicken." It was the first example she could think of, remembering her last Transfiguration class.

"Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that it's just the fear of the unknown. Same problem we've always had with people and will always continue to have until people just went back to kindergarten and learn to get along," she sighed.

Troy walked into History of Magic and he saw a man standing at the front of the class who he did not recognise and he also heard a familiar voice,a voice which he had not heard in a while.
He looked around the classroom and saw Aaliyah talking away to the teacher answering a question Troy thought, he smirked and thought, 'Aaliyah being her usual nerdy self'.

He walked down to a free desk behind Aaliyah and sat down and listened in to what was going on.

(OOC: Ops, yes, mistake there sorry.)

After Joshua listened to what he said again in his mind, he found a mistake. "By the way, if the person drowned, they were not a witch. If they lived, which was very unlikely they were a witch." As he listened to everyone else talk about why they thought the general community didn't like magic, he noticed a very very late person come in. He silently noted that he would stop by his office later on. Looking at the clock he noticed it was time to go!

Standing up he announced, "Very good you two, pretty much the idea. Now, since its about time to go for homework I would like you to give me a brief summery of what we did today and read pages 204-206. Class dismissed for the last comers, stop by my office or you will be behind."
