Now where did I put that wand?
Grayson lowered his book as students started to enter the class. He looked over them all, curious as to how they would take the class. On one hand, there were those that found the class to be quite boring, and on the other hand, there were those that found, like himself, that history was full of intrigue, if they looked through it properly. At least that was how he viewed it. More than likely, the majority would find this class boring and move on, but he hoped that there were a few that he'd be able spark a bit of interest in the subject.
He stood, placing the book he'd been reading down. "Hello class, and welcome back to History of Magic. As you all have had an entire summer to empty your heads of all that you may have learned over the last year, as well as give me a good chance to refresh your knowledge, today we will review what you have learned in the subject over the last year, before we go on to this year's topics. Please answer one at a time, and only cover one topic. That way, we can hopefully get everyone's participation in the class."

  Gracie walked slowly into class, stumbling just slightly. Dark circles were obvious under her eyes even with her makeup on. She hadn't slept all week and she was sure to pass out soon if she didn't. It wasn't that she didn't want to sleep, she just couldn't. Every time she closed her eyes the same nightmares attacked her mind and broke her walls down. She couldn't stand it. She knew she could answer the question the professor posed, but she didn't have the energy or the want to do it. She simply took a seat in the class, not really paying attention to who she was near or what was going on. She didn't care.

Third Year, 𝔅eater
Shuffling into class, Dominic was far too preoccupied with quidditch to even be worrying about the days subject that was only half scribbled down in his parchment of notes so far. To be honest, he’d gotten instantly distracted the moment he dabbed his quill within his inkwell, and, at the first chance, began scribbling down notes of new plays he could run by with the captain, occasionally sketching a bludger down on the page as well.
His ear pricked each time he heard a voice, only to be sure that his name hadn’t been called out for some odd reason or other, there was nothing worse than having to look up from his notes of quidditch to realize he’d been pushed into the spotlight in class and the horribly fail. It hadn’t happened yet, and he was keeping his fingers crossed that it never would.

Adalaide sighed a little, leaning forward, quill in hand, doodling on the margins of her parchment. Review. Ick. How boring. Normally, she was really happy to come to History. It was a class in which the only expectation was that you pay attention. No pressure. She was good at remembering things, after all. But, if today was just a review... she really wished they were learning something new. Or taking a test on what they'd learned. Or something other than just simply going over things they already knew. Which, she supposed, was sort of silly, since that's all history class really was, but honestly, she didn't care. She just wanted to feel like there was a point to the lesson. Which, if they were just reviewing, she really didn't. She sighed again, looking down at her doodles. Or, sketches, she realized. She'd been drawing her cat. She smiled. It was a pretty good little drawing.

Marina glanced up as first Cameron, and then Nell sat next to her. Nell she understood, they were close friends, but Cameron? She barely knew the boy, even after two years of school together. All the Slytherin really knew about him was that he was a muggleborn in Gryffindor, who sometimes needed help in his classes, and that he'd had a crush on Caitlin for a long time. Not anymore apparently, because word on the street- or corridor, rather, was that he was dating Elli McHalen, Michelle's sister and Gracie's cousin. Anyways, she could count the number of conversations they'd had on one finger. But, it wasn't like she was bothered by his choice of a seat or anything. She was just surprised. The redheaded girl gave him an encouraging look, because he appeared to be crossing his fingers under the desk. He was right, of course.

Now where did I put that wand?
Grayson walked into the classroom, looked around to see that everything was ready, and picked up a piece of chalk. He wrote on the chalkboard, and when finished, turned to regard the class as a whole.
"Hello class. Last time, we went over the subjects you studied last year to refresh any knowledge you may have lost over the summer. Today, we are going to go ahead and study the witch burnings of the 1600's.
"Now, as you are very well aware, muggles nowadays don't know about the wizarding world, due to either ignoring magic when they see it or passing it off as merely fantasy for children. However, that was not always the case. The International Statute of Secrecy was only enacted relatively recently within the last several centuries, which of course hides magic from the rest of the world.
"However, wizards and muggles did coexist at some point. For the greater bit of history, they worked together. However, at some point muggles began to distrust wizards, and some even began to fear them. It culminated into the infamous witch burnings that basically ran like wildfire across the world.
"The witch burnings weren't specific in who they targeted. Mostly, they actually persecuted other muggles who they believed to be a witch. Unfortunately, that wasn't always the case. Many of the witches and wizards they grabbed were muggleborn, and they were unfortunate in that most of the time when they were captured, it was due to uncontrollable acts of random magic they had performed.
"Contrary to the name, burning wasn't the only way they got rid of witches. Stoning, throwing them off cliffs, and even drownings were also considered to be acceptable ways to get rid of witches. Most witches and wizards who were caught actually didn't die, as they were able to cast some form of magic to get them out of the situation. One witch in particular found it quite fun to get caught. Wendolyn the Weird actually was caught a grand total of forty-seven times, mostly in different guises, because she found that the tickling sensation of casting a fire-freezing charm was actually enjoyable."
He sat at the edge of his desk as he regarded the class with a bit of a grin. "As I'm sure you have questions, please feel free to ask them, or if you wish to discuss it, that's perfectly fine too."

Marina was mildly interested in this topic. The stupidity of humans beings in general, both muggle and magical, never failed to amaze her. She shook her head slightly as she listened to the rather horrific ways people were killed. She could recall reading somewhere the burning and drowning were two of the worst ways to die, and she couldn't help but agree. At least if you were thrown off a cliff you died upon impact, or if you were really lucky you passed out while falling and didn't feel a thing. The third year wondered how the witches and wizards that were caught had been caught in the first place. Surely it would be had for a group of muggles to capture an adult witch or wizard. Unless, of course, they were like good old Wendolyn, who liked burning.

  Michelle for once was actually showing up to the History class. She was a bit late... but still at least she had decided to show her face. She quickly wrote down a few notes in her elegant handwriting before leaning back in her chair and yawning. OOC:...
When you walk away What is it I'm after
Nothing more to say Searching for disaster

See ‘em running for their lives Dressed up as a life

Gracie slipped into class and listened dutifully to the lecture, taking notes to stop her mind from wandering. She much preferred listening to lessons on the past then having to think about her own past. History of Magic was quickly becoming one of her favourite classes. The past was interesting for one, and it also helped her come to terms with her own past in some weird way. Not to mention the fact that there was very little talking during the class because everyone was either listening to the lecture or falling asleep.
