Hᴇᴀᴛʜᴇʀ slipped into the classroom, obviously late, and quietly took her seat when Professor Powell had his back turned. Hey, she could try to be sneaky, couldn't she? The Hufflepuff quickly scribbled down what was left of the notes. She would have to review later to keep up in this class. Seeing as she missed most of the lesson, she didn't have any questions. She did find Albus Dumbledore to be a rather interesting person, from what she got down of him in her notes. The girl would need to get a watch to keep her from being late again.

Now where did I put that wand?

Grayson got the classroom ready for the next class as he considered this group of students. Please don't let it end up like last time he tried this, he thought. Frowning, he flicked his wand, which had suspiciously been found in a vase on his desk (how it ended up there, he'll never know!), and caused the desks to rearrange themselves in a circular fashion. There, hopefully he didn't have any issues, otherwise he was probably going to be canned for having yet another argument break out in class. That would of course be terrible, to be honest.

"Hello again class. Today, we are going to have an open discussion. Now, the rules are quite simple. No opinion, no matter how outrageous it seems, is to be attacked for any reason. Two, there are to be no arguments. Should one erupt, this lesson will end immediately and I will dock the offenders points. Three, we will respect everyone here. There will be no flinging of insults, no calling anyone mudblood, or the like. That is offensive in the extreme, and one I take personal offense to. Otherwise, please stick with facts, and have an open mind in this discussion.

"Now, the topic for this discussion is Albus Dumbledore. We discussed him in last class, and this one is reserved for questions and opinions. Please, don't be shy. Go ahead and start whenever you're ready."

Ariana smiled when Professor Powell said that no opinions were to be attacked. Even the super outrageous ones that wouldn't make sense to some people! Perfect! she thought, a smile spreading on her features. That meant no matter what came out of Ariana's mouth, no one could say anything about it. "You know how Albus Dumbledore had a sister named Ariana?" The girl couldn't help but giggle at the fact that she shared the same first name with the Powerful Wizard's sister. "I think that if that whole thing with the muggle boys didn't happen when she was six, she wouldn't have gone mad. Oh, and she was pretty!" she added, a smile still playing on her lips from when she laughed.

Agnar walked up to the door. It was his first day teaching. Apparently the school needed an emergency teacher. Something about the current professor being indisposed. He of course noticed the notice and took out his wand. A quick tap incinerated the note, and he watched dispassionately as it fell to the floor. He smirked. Well, this was a good start.

Opening up the classroom, he entered and took stock of what he had. Plenty of books, tomes, and assorted historical paraphernalia littered the room. He was advised not to touch the layout, so the new professor set about working on the board. When he finished, he straightened up the room before standing in front of the classroom. The room seemed darker, more sinister, and he preferred it that way. He waited for students to enter as he flipped idly through the class syllabus and cocked an eyebrow. Well, he had to teach as the school stated, but that didn't mean he was going to be easy on the students.


Professor Bjelke
Professor Agnar Bjelke

Lesson I: Albus Dumbledore


"Hello class, and welcome to class. I am Professor Agnar Bjelke, and you shall refer to me as professor or sir. I do not tolerate laziness, rudeness, or ignorance. If you do not know an answer, stay quiet and let those more intelligent than yourself speak. Now, before we begin lessons, I will state this much. Interrupt me, and you shall end up in detention. Do I make myself clear?" He glared around the room, daring anyone to speak up before he launched into his lecture.

"Today, we're going to discuss probably the most overrated headmaster that ever served Hogwarts, as well as the rest of the wizarding world. Albus Dumbledore. Yes, I can hear some of you now wanting to dispute that claim, but I don't care. I am here to teach, you are here to shut up and listen.

"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorcerer, was the Transfiguration Professor, and later Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Professor Dumbledore also served as Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot. He was a half-blood wizard, the son of Percival and Kendra Dumbledore, and the elder brother of Aberforth and Ariana. His father died in Azkaban when Dumbledore was young, while his mother and sister were later accidentally killed. His early losses greatly affected him early on, even at his death, but in turn made him a better person. Albus Dumbledore was considered to be the most powerful wizard of his time. He was most famous for his defeat of Gellert Grindelwald, the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and his work on alchemy with Nicolas Flamel.

"It was through Dumbledore that resistance to the rise of Lord Voldemort was formed, as it was he who founded and led both the first and second Order of the Phoenix. Due to the fact that he had a keen mind and legendary power, Dumbledore became the only wizard that Voldemort ever feared. He was the wielder and the master of the Elder Wand from 1945 until 1997 and considered by many as the greatest Headmaster to ever grace Hogwarts. As he was about to die by a cursed ring, he planned his own death with Severus Snape. Though he was no longer alive at the time, it was through Dumbledore's machinations that Voldemort was ultimately defeated and peace restored to the wizarding world. He is the only Headmaster that was laid to rest at Hogwarts. Albus Dumbledore's portrait still remains at Hogwarts."


He glared around, daring the students to say anything. He hated children, and this lot he doubted would be any better than vermin to him. "There is no homework, as any more drivel I may hear about this man may induce me to vomit. Leave."

I'll be your soldier, fighting every second of the day for your dreams.
So don't stress, don't
cry, we don't need no wings to fly.

Cameron walked into the History classroom. When he saw some old man there instead of Professor Powell, the boy cocked an eyebrow but didn't say anything. Instead, he proceeded to his seat. Throughout the whole lesson, Cam made sure not to say anything. He didn't want to have to deal with this professor in detention. When the class was not assigned any homework and instead, ushered to get out, the boy grabbed his things and fast walked out of that room.

As long as you love me, we could be starving,
we could be
homeless, we could be broke. As long as you love me.

Steele Thompson III

Hufflepuff|5th year|Muggle-Born|Ariana Hawthorne


Why must I be judged upon the purity of my blood?


Steele walked into the class, watching as the teacher had began his lecture. He must say...what an opinionated person he was. Overrated? Based on the lecture at hand, it just about sounds as if the wizard did everything. So, in theory, he was overrated because the Professor thought he was. And that was history class for you. History is not objective. It is subjective, or based off the eyes of the beholder. So, Steele did not think that Dumbledore was overrated but the teacher did. Just because the Professor said something, does not make it true, for history would not be history without opinions. So, Steele did not roll his eyes like the rest of the class. All he did was remember the lecture his Muggle teacher gave him back before he was at Hogwarts. And when the teacher went to finish, he walked over to the teacher.

"I know, you do not want to talk about him, but I wanted to inquire directly why you think so lowly of him. Not because I want to contest but rather because I am interested in your viewpoint," he asked the teacher, hoping he didn't get some kind of tongue lashing, but he expected a tongue lashing so anything better than that would be a success.


Will I ever be the same?

Marina got the creeps from this new professor the instant she walked into the classroom. Apparently Professor Powell was asleep and wouldn't wake up; and the mysterious affliction had affected several students as well. The redhead wasn't quite sure what to make of the whole thing, but something was definitely up this year. She could feel it. As soon as Professor Bjelke started talking, her dislike for him only intensified. He didn't even allow for discussion or questions, and he practically ordered them out. Fine, then. She was happy to go anyways. Shooting the old man a glare of her own, she walked briskly out of the class, not at all happy with the new teacher.


INTELLIGENCE without AMBITION is a BIRD without WINGS


I'm gonna FIGHT for what's RIGHT
Today I'm SPEAKING my MIND
And if it KILLS me TONIGHT
I will be READY to DIE
I've gotta FIGHT TODAY
To LIVE another DAY
SPEAKING my mind TODAY
My VOICE will be heard TODAY

                                                          Adalaide took a seat next to Marina, shuffling uncomfortably in her seat under the stare of the new professor. She'd heard rumors about something happening to the students, and that it'd actually started with Professor Powell... which was awful, because she really liked Professor Powell, and this guy creeped her out. She took out her things and took notes on the lesson, not really liking what the man had to say. She wished that Powell was here to give the lecture instead, it would be a lot less biased and a lot more informative, she thought. But, she wasn't daft enough to say anything... unlike Steele. She wanted to slap him when he asked about the Professor's opinion on Dumbledore. Really? He'd said for them all to stay quiet, take the notes and leave. No where in there was there any indication of 'let's talk about this!' She sighed. He was going to lose them house points, she knew it.

Nell walked quickly into the classroom, late and kicking herself for doing so just because they hadn't had a lesson last week. She took the empty seat besides Ada and flashed grins and both her and Marina before taking in the stern older man teaching them today. She gulped as he barked out his instructions and practically kept her eyes on her parchment as she scribbled all she could from his quick lecture about Albus Dumbledore. It didn't take a genius to see he wasn't fond of the man so when he dismissed them she could honestly say she was one of the firsts to try and jump up and nearly run out before Steele decided to push the limits and ask why he didn't like him. Nell very nearly dropped her head on the desk in defeat and near embarrassment. She swore this wasn't going to end well and she was not going to stay and see it. Without another look towards the boy she left and hoped Hufflepuff wouldn't be in the negatives by the time he decided to take a breather in reality.

Dhylan blinked at the substitute professor. He sat quickly, then slipped a pen and notebook from his satchel. As the lecture started, he quickly wrote notes, glancing at his book as well. After the mad had finished, Dhyl's pen kept scratching about, writing a few extra notes for his studying. He had always loved History, so he figured the OWL would be fairly easy... but he was still going to study until his fingers bled and his brain melted out his ears. Blue eyes flicked back to the textbook, reading a bit more, then he tapped his pen lightly against the arm of his glasses, thinking. When the man told them to leave, he looked up, confused. What the heck did they do?! He blinked a few times, then closed his book and began packing his things. This new professor seemed terrifying, but at least he knew what he was talking about! The black haired teen didn't think he could handle having to listen to drivel by a person who had no idea what they were saying.

Rick entered the classroom and took a seat. Immediately his thoughts went to his mum as soon as the professor started speaking. Why? Well, the guy gave off the same creepy nasty vibe that she did. Well, without the crazy part. When he told people to leave, the redhead was happy to oblige, packing his bag as quickly as he could. He couldn't wait to get out of the class, but almost buried his face in his hands when he heard an older classmate speak up. What? Didn't the professor say he didn't want to hear anything more on Dumbledore? Rick halfway expected the older man to crucio the teen for his question. Maybe he was a bit paranoid after being tortured by a psycho, but honestly, pushing someone that obviously disliked kids was asking for trouble. Rick stood up and left, not wanting to watch the aftermath.

Rose entered the classroom, only to suddenly want to turn around and leave again. Who the heck was this guy? She didn't know him, and certainly thought that the old professor was a lot better than him. She forced herself to sit next to Nell and proceeded to doodle on a sheet of paper instead of taking notes. After all, why should she care about the subject if he didn't? When he finished and dismissed them all, she was all too eager to jump up along with Nell and leave... right up until Steele opened his mouth and spoke. Wasn't he the git that asked dumb questions during the Opening Feast last year? She wanted to smack the boy for being dumb. Without another glance back, she grabbed Nell's arm and made for the exit. If nothing else, she didn't want to be the one that decked Steele for being stupid. Okay, so maybe a little bit. But still, not in front of a professor!

Agnar glanced up as he heard a student speak. Really? So, someone decided to disobey a professor that truly didn't wish to hear anything more? Did the boy think he was going to get extra credit or something? The old man cocked an eyebrow, eyeing the poor fool. "I believe that shall be fourty points from Hufflepuff, and a detention in your future, mister... Thompson? Quite a muggle name. I would suggest you especially keep your mouth shut, since it seems that the rest of your class is intelligent, while you seem to be severely lacking in that department."

Now where did I put that wand?

Grayson watched over his book as his students entered the classroom. This year was OWLs for them, and they definitely needed to make sure that they were up to speed. He didn't know how much they knew, but it was his job to make sure they were prepared for the exams ahead. He was prepared to give it his all, allowing all the students to at least have a good chance with the exams.

""Hello class, and welcome back to History of Magic. As I am sure that you all know, this year marks your fifth year at Hogwarts, as well as the year that you take the OWLs. I expect that you all will be prepared for the exam, and that is why today and later on this year, we will be revisiting everything you have learned in this class. That way, I know precisely what to focus on for the exam. Today, I would like for each of you to please tell me about each topic that has thus been covered over your years in Hogwarts. One topic per student, and I wish to have everyone please give a response. It will help me to determine what we need to go over before the exams are here. Yes, I do understand that all of your other teachers are also probably giving you this same lecture, but that is so that you are prepared to face the exams and do the best you can in them."
