"Welcome back, class! I hope you are ready to learn this year!" Professor Spenser smiled at his students. "This year will be full of essays, but I promise you, all of this will interest you very much. I found these facts and I could hardly believe what I had learned. I hope you all feel the same." He stopped and looked around at the rather bored faces.

"Right, well, I can see you are far from interested in the general outline for this year. I only will say one more thing on the topic and then I will dismiss you early. This year you will be learning about famous Magicians throughout history. That's all. Just wizards/witches. No worries, though, I will take it easy on you!"

Jonathan stood poised next to the door and smiled. "Okay, class, I will release you early today. But be prepared to learn next lesson! Have a great week! Class Dismissed!"
Homework Assignment:


Sorry for the dreadfully boring and short lesson, but I figured that you would be bogged down with assignments from other classes, so I thought I'd take it easy on you for today! All I ask is that you post attendance for your points. Take Care!

10 points for attendance post

It was unbelievable how fast the first year of Hogwarts had passed him by, but now it was even stranger to be returning for a second year of attendance at the wizarding school. Lorin awoke from a long and peaceful slumber on the day of his first History of Magic lesson of the new school year. His night had been surprisingly restful, given the emotionally turbulent nature of the return home.
Arriving on time to the classroom, Lorin was quick to sit down and straighten up in his chair, prepared for whatever life, and the Professor, may throw at him.

The mention of an essay-packed year was not a particularly pleasant thought, and the Ravenclaw boy already found himself doubting in his personal abilities as to whether or not he would be able to handle such a torrential swamp of work. The Professor may promise that the year would be an interesting one- which Lorin could not deny the subject of history usually was a fascinating thing- but this did little to ease the stress tensions already formulating within his shoulders.

Lorin drew out his ink, quill, and parchment from within his school bag and began to take note of what exactly it was they would be studying. Well, the vague gist of it, at least, in the hope that it would give him the chance to gain a head-start in his soon-to-be heavy workload.
Once the class was granted permission to do so, Lorin packed his supplies bag into his bag, nodded goodbye to the Professor, and left the classroom for the safety of one more secluded nook of the castle in which he could quietly read a book for leisure before the new year really began.

[justify]     Belladonna still wasn't feeling this whole Hogwarts thing. So far she had done a decent job at avoiding her bullies, but she knew she couldn't hide from them forever. Especially since she had the tendency to make a path of destruction everywhere she went. "Maybe if I just lay low and really hit the books this year, I won't have as much of a problem with other students this year." If she just stayed in the common room and studied, no one could bother her. Then again, Belladonna was just plain out bad at studying and getting things done when she needed to. To put it into basic words, Belladonna could be quite the procrastinator. So despite her plan to lay low this year, chances were high that she was going to be as outgoing as always. Belladonna brushed aside some of her blonde hair and peered into the classroom. No sign of Matty yet! Hopefully he could arrive later and sit next to her, they had a whole summer worth of events to catch up on! She was eager to tell someone about her dad and Winnie, as well as the new tricks she had picked up while watching some Quidditch games. The moment the Professor began the day's lesson, Belladonna paused and turned her attention towards the front.

Belladonna rolled her eyes when she heard the Professor mention that this year would be full of essays. If that was the way he was going to play, then Belladonna was sure that he was going to be surprised on her high level of procrastination. Belladonna was going to try her best in school, but if there was a year filled with nothing but essay's, she had ten bucks towards her falling asleep in every single class. Supposedly they were going to be learning about famous Magicians throughout history. How fun. Belladonna sighed and rested her head on the palm of her hand. Oh boy. This year was starting off to a wonderful start. After a couple of moments, they were dismissed. Belladonna wasn't about to complain about the class length though. She was already much too upset about the whole essay thing. The blonde Gryffindor packed up her bag and left alongside her classmates.

[justify]Lucy walked into the History of Magic classroom. For the first time, she was actually not late. That was a change. She was normally late, this time she wasnt. Lucy wasn't sure if she knew how to handle that. She had forever been losing the house points last year for her perpetual tardiness. It was a bad habit that's she was going to have to stop, as it was at the moment however, she was still always late. Well, except for today it seemed. Looking around the room, Lucy immediately walked over and sat with the other Gryffindors. She didn't want to sit with people she didn't know, that would be weird. Leaning back slightly in her chair, Lucy thought about how her holidays had been. Samual had been moving out when she left for school. It seemed that Sammy had gotten back together with Hazel and Lucy had to admit that she was happy for them. She liked Hazel and Sammy had been miserable without Hazel around. Lucy shook her head. She couldn't believe how silly they were a'll being. Sighing, Lucy took out her notebook and was fully prepared to get stuck into work. However, as it turned out though, they would not be doing any work today. Lucy could have cheered, though she contained herself and didnt. That wouldn't do much for her at all. She had to maintain a certain amount of maturity after all. She packed up her things. Even though she didnt like essays, Sammy had shown her a great way of planning and then writing good essays, so she would do that. After all, if you were going to write an essay, you should make sure it is a good one. Collecting her bag, Lucy left the room and headed back to the common room. She was going to have to write Sam about how he was going. She hadn't seen him in a couple of weeks after all.

Gabriel walked into the History of Magic class for the first lesson of the year right on time. The Ravenclaw boy was determined to do better in school this year. He had done alright last year, but he knew his parents expected more from him especially when his siblings had always done so well in school. It was a lot of pressure for the twelve year old. It was a lot to live up to. Gabriel made his way to the other Ravenclaws that were already in the room. He nodded Lorin as he waited for the lesson to begin.

The lesson today was short, giving just a brief outline of what they would be learning this year. Gabe was interested in finding out which wizards and witches Professor Spenser chose for the class. He was excited to learn. The lecture finished and the Professor dismissed them without homework. The Ravenclaw boy was grateful for that. He gathered his things and left the room.

[justify]The week of lessons have begun and he was surprised that it was so soon. Matt Greene was glad to have Mason with him in the school. Mason had to be doing fine, but he was still worried over him and nothing would change that. Nothing at all. Matt looked down as he walked into the History of Magic classroom. He knew a little bit about each subject since he had done some reading on each during his spare time. And he remembered what he did last year too. Matt looked around before he ended up finding a seat. It took him a bit to find one because of the amount of second years, but it was making everything good for him. At least that was his opinion. He just wanted the lesson to begin. And soon. Once Professor Spenser welcomed them back to the class, they were informed over what they were learning this semester. Famous Magicians which he looked forward to. And the professor dismissed them. He gathered his things and left the classroom.[/justify]

[justify]It was the first week of lessons, and Blaine Matthias was ready to start lessons with his peers, but not too many lessons. Some classes he would gladly skip and just do the exams, but then again he could just skip them as well. The class that he was going to now was not one of those that he would skip though. Defence Against the Dark Arts seemed like an interesting class. Blaine would be stuck with the house that he was not going to appreciate, but it was still something that he somewhat looked forward to. Blaine sighed and he entered the History of Magic classroom and saw that there were not that many students here. He had a pleased look to himself before finding a seat near the back. When he was in the back, he felt somewhat better. He did not need to be around so many people, especially Gryffindors. Then again, he did have a brother there, so he could not hate on them. Professor Spenser started up the class with the syllabus of this year before releasing them. Well, that was easy. He gathered his things and left the classroom.
