Thomas- Catching up.

The first year stood in the hall and looked at the door, the teacher had asked that any student who had missed the first class come and see him. Looking up and down the hall for any other student to go in with her. Taking a deep breath she reached up a hand and knocked on the door.

Waiting she tried to figure out which teacher was her History of Magic teacher, Munelisa looked down at the list of names she had of all her teachers. Unfortunately the list did not name the subjects. Finding one name, Mr. Thomas, she thought she could remember the name from the history class, but she wasn't positive.

(OOC: The TA's office are in a large office space. We don't have our own rooms. Only HOH have there own office.)

Joshua was working on his grades from his third year class when he heard a knock on the door. Normally students just walk in since it was just one big room. Looking at the other TA in the room at the time he announced, "I'll get it." He put down his quill and rushed over to the door. Opening it he saw yet again, another student who needed to review.

"Hello there, Munelisa, if I'm correct." He introduced, he motioned her in the office. On the way over to his desk he decided to give a quick tour of the TA's desk. "As you can see, us TA's have our offices in this large room." He explained. The other TA gave a quick wave then back to her work. "It echos very easily in this room." He finished.

Joshua pointed to the seat in front of the room for Munelisa to sit in. "Well the first thing that you need to know is that we are studying Ancient Egypt this year. At the start of this time period there were only witches, girls who could do magic, and there were no wizards. Could you give me a reason why that might be? Just take a guess." He said with a smile.

[munelisa]

[ OOC: Ah, Is that right? Okay I shall fix that. Sorry. ]

Munelisa looked up at the man, blinking a few times. She recognized the guy, putting two and two together she figured that this man was indeed Mr. Thomas. The girl lowered her hand which was in the air from knocking on the door and returned it to her side.

"Hi. Yes your right. But could you maybe call me Mun or Lisa instead?" She asked not really liking her real full name. The Mihael followed the History teacher into the room, following his gaze around the room at all the other desks around the room.

"Don't get much privacy, do you?" Munelisa said, grinning slightly and plopping down in the seat he motioned to her. Placing her arms on the arm rests, listening to his quick lecture.

"Ancient Egypt, heh? Learned something about that a while ago.." Her eyebrows dipped slightly as she thought about what she had learned. Dropping out of the thought process when he continued and finished with a question.

"Uh.. Because.. Women.. Have babies?" She tried.

"I'll try and remember that, would Lisa be all right?" He asked while making a mental note to himself to call her that in class. He wondered why she did not like her full name, Joshua kind of liked his. Joshua got out a piece of parchment and a quill and handed it over to Lisa. "Make sure to write everything down, and no not much privacy, I kind of like it though. I get to talk to everyone without walking across the school." He replied.

"It had nothing to do babies," he replied with a silent laugh, "The males where all squibs, which means they are a Muggle born or married to a magical person. However, the reason they where not made into a wizard was becuase there was believed to be a curse on the spell. Have any idea what that spell was called?" He asked.

[munelisa]

Munelisa nodded to the latter of the two nicknames, reaching up a hand she took the parchment and quill thanking him as he did so. Placing the parchment on her lap she scribbled her own name before looking up at Mr. Thomas.

"I guess thats a good point." She said replying to the fact he had everyone in close quarters. Hearing that her answer was wrong, she sighed slightly. She knew it was wrong the moment she said it, but it just proved how she new nothing about the magical world she was now supposed to live in. Looking at the quill she shook it a few times before writing down notes on the parchment, almost legible.

"Uh no. Honestly." Munelisa replied, looking up from her notes once again. "But I would guess something to do with the curse of a mummy?" She remembered a Discovery program about the curse of the mummy, people found a tomb and days later died. Or something along those lines.

[joshua]

Not surprised at all that she did not know the answer Joshua started to explain,
"The magical spell was called The Magical Transfer Spell nothing really to do with mummy's. We will talk more about that in a different lesson."

"Time for a review! With a few more minutes until you need to go off to bed I will talk what we learned. Then you will need to do a work sheet before you leave and the quiz. First thing, Ancient Egypt ran from 3200-2270 BC. The Romans took them over around 2270 BC. There where only witches during the first time. And of course, males who were born into magical families were called squibs. Not to much informatoin to remember?" Joshua asked, standing up he got the worksheet and the quiz and handed it to Lucian. "Won't take but a few minutes to do those two. Good luck once you finish you may leave."

Munelisa nodded, scratching down the name of the spell on the parchment. She only got to glance back up again before he started to give her more information, the Mihael quickly wrote down the rest of the information he explained. Taking the two sheets in hand, Mun looked at Mr. Thomas.

"Am I allowed to use notes on both the worksheet and quiz.. Or just the worksheet?" The girl asked, scribbling her full name on the top of both papers before waiting for an answer.

[joshua]

Joshua smiled as she wrote down almost word per word. She would most likely pass the final exam. A lot of the other students did not seem to write a lot of notes and thats why they are failing the class after just one lesson! "You can use it on the worksheet, but the quiz is from memory. I made the quiz pretty much from the worksheet. Shouldn't be that bad, just remember there were no wizards, only witches. A lot of people got confused." He told her with a smile.
