We're going at it tonight, tonight
There's a party on the rooftop top of the world
Tonight, tonight and we're dancing on the edge of the Hollywood sign
I don't know if I'll make it but watch how good I'll fake it
It's all right, all right, tonight, tonight

Third Year, Gryffindor


She sighed apathetically, and, having been ushered to the class by prefect she couldn’t name, she found herself trapped in History class with nowhere to go, and nothing to do, but wait until class was over. She didn’t ever expect to find herself here again, no, not really. She casually, slowly, meandered down lower and lower on her desk as he spoke more, and more, until her warm cheek slid against the cool wooden desk beneath her. One hand lazily set to scribble down notes on a piece of parchment, skipping over every other word.

                                  Adalaide frowned as she took notes for the lesson. She rather hated this topic. It was upsetting to her, mostly because she was a halfblood, and she couldn't help but think that her blood status would be the norm, as opposed to a rarity, if not for this particular period. There had always been a lot of purists, of course, but in the time prior to the burnings and the paranoia that led to them, muggles and magical folk had gotten along, and marriage between them was common. Nowadays, the story of how a magical and a muggle parent even met is one that people listen to with fascination, simply because it just didn't happen that much. She thought that she might have read somewhere that the separation between the groups was also the reason for the unusually high number of muggleborns in later decades. Magical types would choose to stay with their muggle spouses, whose children would then marry muggles, and on and on until the magic in the blood was so thin that a magical child was unlikely. She smirked a little. The book had also said that the reverse, muggle members of magical families, were the reason behind Squibs. Her father always said that a Squib in the family was a sure sign of a muggle ancestor, something that amused Ada, since it always seemed to be the most uptight blood purists who were hiding a Squib in the attic.

Dominic, seemingly paying attention, was huddled over his desk with a quill furiously scratching the roll of parchment extended over his desk. Anyone who glanced at him would have assumed he was a dutiful, note-taking student, but that was hardly the truth. Instead of taking notes like everyone else around him was probably doing, he was sketching. He was never very gifted at it, but he was better than most and he found it an ideal way to pass the time. Especially during class….

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."

History it was Chloe’s last class of the week just like last year. She loved history surprising though she never took any other history type classes this year. Her parents were even surprised but they were even more surprised when she told them she wanted to work at St. St. Mungo's or do something with Transfigurations. She had even considered becoming an Auror though she didn’t know how that would go.

Taking a seat in History at the front of the class Chloe’s thoughts wandered to what she was going to do after class and for the rest of the weekend. Maybe hang in the library… not that she didn’t do that every day. When class started Chloe wished that next week would start up so that they could finally work on something besides review. Every class it seemed had that cycle at the beginning at the year review then new material. Luckily her only saving grace was her electives.

Raising her hand Chloe remembered what they covered in class last year and then some. “We covered the deathly hallows three powerful objects in our world those being the elder wand, the resurrection stone, and the cloak of invisibility.” She spoke. That was sure to start some discussion right?

cнᴀɴcᴇ took his usual seat in History class and turned his attention to the front of the room. The professor was calling for a review of last term. Seemed simple enough. "The Olivander Family was discussed, sir." he said, plainly. This was a review, correct? That meant that he wasn't required to go too in-depth on a subject. After his statement, Chance fell silent, fidgeting with his scarf that still didn't match his house.

Sun sighed, sitting towards the back of the classroom. He wasn't exactly too keen on being here, since he remembered nothing of the previous year. Though against all odds, he found himself pitching into the conversation. "Beedle the bard," he said. "We learned about his story." Well, that wasn't exactly like him... He didn't know he remembered anything. Or perhaps his conscious mind was playing a trick on him? Eh, it was all too confusing.

I keep waiting for the shoe to drop

I never feel like dancing: I can't remember anything...
It's like even the weather suits my mood: Third Years
My entire soul is ringing: History of Magic

For the life of her, Newlyn could remember nothing from the previous year. This was one of her worst classes. She just couldn't seem to keep all the facts in her head, and she always ended up sketching during lectures. So she stayed silent, mildly embarrassed.

×××××Jaslyn wandered into History class, and immediately spotted the red hair of her best friend. Quickly she made her way over to the boy and plopped down in the seat next to him. She pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill, making it seem like she was going to be taking notes. Instead though, she began to doodle. A heart, a star, an arrow, anything and everything that came to mind.

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.

Professor Powell
Muggle Witch Burnings


"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."

How scary, these muggles. They would blame each other and kill each other over trivial things, and knowing nothing but mere rumors. Of course, wizards were the same... All living creatures were the same, in Sun's mind. While he pondered, other students would stay silent, ask questions, or do whatever they wanted. All he knew was that his mouth would not open and he would not utter a word, even though questions burned inside his mind.

Chloe walked into class took her seat in the first row and listened to the class. Taking notes as the lesson of witch burning went on she remained quiet. She listened intently throughout the entire class lesson. Muggles sounded really easy to trick no wonder no one could ever find. They had so many spells that could hide them from any outsiders it seemed odd that some muggleborns were magically gifted.

For once Chloe didn’t ask a single question, she could have asked about it but she didn’t know how to bring it up without sounding… well weird. Her mother was a muggleborn witch so she knew a thing or too. Put she found it interesting that people who born into the magical world could still have the talent, some even better than ordinary everyday wizards.

Newlyn, in her seat by the window, tried to pay attention. She really did. But the topic was just so... awful. Honestly, they were discussing ways poor witches and wizards were killed. She found herself doodling a fire in the corner of her parchment, smoke wafting up from it.

cнᴀɴcᴇ scribbled down his notes, pausing every so often for reflection. What was it like back then? If he was himself in those times, he would surely be shunned, and as the professor said, burned. But they wouldn't catch him, no. He was smarter than the other ones that got caught. He wouldn't let some random burst of magic get him killed. Still, a question came to mind. "If the witches and wizards knew that the Muggles were out for them, why didn't they all leave? Find some place to live in peace with their own kind?" It made sense to him. If you weren't wanted, then you should go away. Simple as that.
