Cathy was as thrilled about being in History of Magic class as usual. She loved the subject and sat down next to Danica who seemed to have some kind of crush or whatever on Professor Powell judging by how much she was trying to win him over. Cathy really didn't mind, but she wondered if it would make Professor Powell favor her friend, and either way it sort of concerned Cathy because most people didn't like teacher's pets. Smiling at Danica for a moment she turned back and listened to the lecture about the Ollivander family and stared a bit when he asked them to take out their wands and look at them and then write a short paragraph about why their wand might have chosen them.
Frowning slightly she considered the question and then began to write:
Quote: My wand is 8 1/2 inches long, made of Acacia Wood, with a fairy hair core, is springy and spiraled. I figure my wand is shorter than some wands because I'm not all that tall by nature, and its core of fairy hair is the same as my big brother's and my mum's wands. It might be because I like being connected to my family, but I heard fairy hair is good for charmwork which is the only magic that is really easy for me. As for the wood, I don't know all that much about it as it is apparently sort of an unusual wood choice but my middle name is Acacia so maybe the wand thought it was amusing to pick me because of that?
Smiling she set down her quill. The idea of why a wand would chose you was intriguing. Wasn't there a wandlore class to chose as an elective next year? Maybe it would be fun to take? |

º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø"I like swimming,"
¦Gunilda Stone¦
Slytherin Second-year
"Having fun,"
Another day, another History of Magic lesson, Gunilda sighed and reluctantly took a seat and forced herself to listen. Today's subject was wand-making, and they were to write about their own wand. The slytherin groaned at the thought of doing actual work, and was half tempted to drop a dung bomb (she'd already dropped one in the corridor outside out of boredom) or something. Half-heartedly she took her trusty wand out of her pocket and set it on her desk. "A nature lover, gatherer and swimmer, I see I see! Now, this wand is just right for you...Mahogany with a Coral core, somewhat flexible, 12 inches long." That was what the man in Ollivander's had told her, after she had tried two other wands which hadn't emitted even a spark. When she had this darkly coloured wand, cored with coral and waved it excitedly, flowers had bloomed from the top, Gunilda remembered it well, her own surprise at the flowers suddenly shooting out, a small bouquet, ready to be plucked and used. She stroked her wand fondly and decided she might as well work. After taking one long look at her elegant looking wand, she put quill to parchment;
Quote: "My wand is 12 inches long, a little flexible and is made of Mahagony with a Coral core. I guess if I had to think about why my wand chose me I'd agree with what the wandmaker said when I got it; I like to gather and swim. That sort of makes sense when I think about it. At home I spend a lot of time swimming in the lake outside, so maybe the coral reflects my relationship with nature. I like my wand as I think it suits me, and it reminds me of home and water, and it's quite powerful. I'd only tried two wands before this one and this wand bloomed flowers when I waved it; rosemary fennel and thyme. My wand also reminds me of home, as I have lived in the countryside most of my life, so I guess a wand with a nature related core makes sense. I have no idea what Mahagony could mean though, although it looks nice.
That was all she could think to write, although Gunilda was surprised she had managed to write even that much about it in the first place. She cringed inwardly, a little embarassed to have gotten so into what she had been writing. Oh well, at least it had been a little interesting, and there was a wandlore class as an elective she had heard about. Maybe it would go well with potions, Gunilda thought with a relaxed yawn, dropping her head onto her hands, fingers twirling her teal quill round and round, quickly becoming disinterested in the lesson again.Out Of Cauldrons:
"And trying my best" º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø

Eugene seemed to be interested about wand-making, honestly he was starting to admire the Ollivanders. Imagine putting your effort on the wizards' best friend for great use by using the best products? That was so great, he would say.
When the professor told them to write at least a good pragraph about their wand and why they chose them, Eugene did not like the idea of writing essays, but he still took a parchment and wrote anyway with a ballpen.
Eugene My wand is Bendy 9 inches with Rowan Wood with Centaur Hair as a core with a Spiraled Shaft. I was not sure why my want is shorter than my dad's, but I guess it has something to do with our height and levels of personality I guess. Though, we have the same bendy wand with a spiraled shaft though, I think the bendy thing has something to do with me being so passive and being okay with anything. The Rowan Wood, according to the book my dad lent me last summer, has something to do with my birthday. It said that not one wizard or witch who wielded at Rowan wand ever became a dark wizard/witch, which makes sense because I was pretty much not of a really funny and had no intention of doing something negative I guess. While Centaur Hair, on the other hand, was adept in casting defensive charms. So maybe, it was because I'm pretty much defensive??

Grayson stopped reading his book as more and more of the students for the class walked in. He looked over each of them, wondering not for the first time if any of them would be interested in what he'd teach. He remembered Binns and the way he put most students to sleep, and decided that he would at least try to not put any of the students to sleep. He took his feet off the desk and stood, hoping that by doing so, he would at least give off a presence instead of looking bored.
"Hello class, and welcome back to History of Magic. I know that perhaps most of you don't remember much from the last year, so I figured that for this first class, we would review what you learned last year, just to brush up before we jump headlong into this year's curriculum." He looked about, making sure that everyone was paying attention, before continuing. "Can anyone here tell me precisely what you have learned last year? You don't have to give me the full information, as I would prefer to see if everyone payed attention in class. One subject per student, if you would."

❋Benjamin Rivers-Blakely❋
Second year|Ravenclaw|12
⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗
Benjamin walked into the History of Magic class, feeling humbled a bit. He had gotten called out in Herbology by a fellow classmate, Elliot Holt...well, not particularly called out, but in his standards, yes he did. But the worst part, he proved how uninformed Benjamin was in the class and yes...he felt stupid for it. He didn't even blame Elliot for it, because he was correct. It was a stupid response and was going to be picked apart by the teacher really. So, in reality, the boy may have saved the class from an even bigger lecture and more importantly, humbled Benjamin's thought that he was smarter than everyone else and brought it down, because he was indeed wrong. Benjamin was okay with admitting it at that point.
He took a seat at the center back of the classroom, bound and determined to not say a word. His professor began teaching and asked what they had learned from the previous year. Benjamin wasn't even going to say a word on this one, fearing that he was just going to be wrong again. It just truthfully wasn't a good idea, because not only did he word his answers terribly, he could be wording the wrong thing as well, which in the end, was just going to really backfire on him.
So, he stood there and took notes on the people who did happen to answer the questions, the first and only at the time being Dylan of Ravenclaw, who just said that they learned about the founders, which he didn't feel he had to write down because there wasn't a specific on it that he needed to know. He knew about the founders from before the class that they had learned it anyway.

 XXXXXXXXXX
My silence was the silence, silence of rocks,
My silence, it was the silence of the stones,
Rocks and stones,
Rocks, stones and trees;
Of the landscapes
Full of ups and downs.
❝Timothy walked into the classroom not exactly looking forward to the class but excited nonetheless. He took a seat near the front so that Professor Powell could read his notes since he didn't think the older man could read BSL and didn't want to chance it. Once he had sat down and pulled out all his things for note taking before they as a class were asked what they had learned last year as part of a review, mainly like they had been asked in the rest of their classes. Dylan, a fellow Ravenclaw, had already answered so he began scribble down not only that answer but one of his own. He enlarged the print so that the professor could easily read it and not strain himself. "We also learned about the Chamber of Secrets that was created by Salazar Slytherin and it's history and importance."❞

spacePersephone settled into a seat towards the back of the classroom, taking out her things but not saying a word. She didn't even look up when Professor Powell started the lecture, knowing she had nothing to contribute. She couldn't remember much of anything she'd learned the previous year; the events of her vacation had pretty much wiped everything else from her memory. She sighed softly, taking notes on her fellow classmates' replies. At least when someone else spoke up, their words seemed familiar. Not completely blank, then. Just hidden. Hopefully she'd catch up quickly.

spaceElliott took a seat next to Timothy, one of his dormmates. He didn't know the other boy very well, or at all really, but he liked the guy well enough. Timothy was quiet, and spent a lot of time reading. Both of which were traits Elliott liked in a person. Merlin knows he didn't know nearly enough quiet people, who liked to read or otherwise. He took out his notes from the previous year, figuring that they'd be reviewing before they got to anything new. Boring, but whatever. He supposed it wasn't awful to have a refresher course. Still, he didn't bother to speak up; both the others who'd answered were in his house, he figured it was only fair to give someone else a chance, after all. He did wonder at Timothy's method of answering though; he knew that other boy wrote everything down rather than speaking, and wondered why. Presumably, he was mute, though why was anyone's guess. Perhaps he'd been born with his vocal chords not properly developed? Suffered an accident? Not that it was any of his business, but he couldn't help his curiosity.

He had sat there for awhile in silence, that is, until Ari had plopped into a seat next to him. He did get a chuckle out of what she had said however, a smile forming on his face. "You sound like my mother. She literally says the exact same thing," he admitted to her, reminiscing on when he was at home. He missed his parents a little bit, but he also wanted to learn more and more; so naturally, he was okay with being at Hogwarts. Plus, he had friends too...like Ari and Nina and a few acquaintances. Really wasn't that bad here.
"I'm fine really, just kind of tired," he admitted to her, shrugging his shoulders, but finally sitting up. He wanted to make sure that she knew he was listening if she said anything really. It was only proper to sit straight up when talking to someone, something that was drilled into his head by his parents as a young boy.
