Professor Spenser sat leaning back in his chair. He was reading over the lesson plan for his second years. It was another lecture class, one he was giving a lot of recently. Due to this he had quickly given himself a very sore throat and had been told by one of the nurses to talk as little as possible for a week or so. He wasn’t one to argue with the nurses and he was sure his class wouldn’t mind a short period either. Jonathan watched as his class entered and took their seats. He saw a few taking out their writing equipment; he lifted his hand and waved it signalling for them to not bother. Standing up he moved closer to the students with a stack of papers in his hands. Moving between all the desks he placed on in front of each pupil. Making his way back to the front of his desk he spoke, or croaked as the case may be. ”Today will be cut short; I have been advised to not talk for long periods of time or I will loose my voice temporally, so I won’t be lecturing today.” He looked around the class seeing a few happy faces. ”So all I want is to read over the pieces of parchment I have given you as it will be on your exam. Class dismissed!

Madame Mim and Proteus:

One of the first wizards to show signs of animagus was a man named Proteus, a Gree. He had knowledge of the past, present, and future. Unfortunately, this meant he was often being asked for predictions. To get away from people, he would quickly transform into a variety of frightening creatures and animals.

Madame Mim was a sorcerer who was one of Merlin's most powerful foes. She had the ability to transform herself. During the greatest battle of all time against Merlin, Madame Mim transfigured herself into a mighty dragon. To that, Merlin turned himself into a field mouse and began nibbling on Madame Mims tail. She couldn't see him in the grass, so she turned into a furious and hungry cat. Once this happened, Merlin quickly turned into another cat. Madame Mim was so shocked at his change; she had thought he would become something more; it took her a moment to gather her wits. Soon enough, she transfigured into a dog. Once again, Merlin followed suit, becoming a dog. In a furious fit, Madame Mim decided to play at Merlin's own game. She decided to take on a defensive shape, in an attempt to force him into choosing shape. She quickly turned herself into a large oak tree. Merlin, in almost a mockery, turned himself into a small, powder blue bird, and flew up to perch on one of the oaks branches. While Merlin sat perching on the oak, Madame Mim erupted in a rage and suddenly turned herself into a large snake, poised to eat Merlin. Just as she was snapping her jaws shut, Merlin turned into a gnat, flying quickly to safety. Suddeny, Merlin and Madame Mim began changing shapes quickly, as quickly as thought. Finally Madame changed herself into an aullay; a very large horse with the trunk of an elephant. She charged at Merlin, who suddenly disappeared, he was nowhere to be seen. The aullay (Madame Mim) began to hiccup, turn red, swelled visibly, began whooping, came out in spots, staggered three times, rolled its eyes, and fell rumbling to the ground; falling to her death. Merlin reappeared; he had changed himself into the microbes of so many diseases and bombarded her with illness. So far ahead of his time, Merlin used medical properties to defeat his greatest foe.

Homework Assignment:

Just make sure you know the facts. All I want is an attendance post. Have a great week!

Beaming, Hayden walked into class, happy that she was back at Hogwarts finally, after being stuck at home all break with her sister insisting on Hayden to practice quidditch with her. Her twin sister, Jaiden, was obsessed with the wizard sport since coming to Hogwarts, now days it was all she ever talked about, so all break Hayden had barely gotten the chance to even stick her head in a book let alone study her favorite thing in the world. Magic. So to say that she was happy to be back at Hogwarts was an understatement. Taking her seat towards the front of the class, Hayden began to take out her writing things, but stopped as Professor Spenser waved his hand dismissively towards her and the few other students taking their thing out as well. As he spoke, explaining to the class that he would not be lecturing today due to the risk of losing his voice, Hayden's happy mood began to droop. The second year hated seeing people in pain, and by the way her Professor and Head of House croaked, she could tell that he suffered from a sore throat, and she couldn't help but feel bad.

She excepted the paper he gave her, and listened quietly as he spoke, looking down at the parchment in her hands, which was an essay on Madame Mim and Proteus. She had read about him before, fascinated by his story and ability to see the past, present and future. Hayden loved to read about Wizards and Witches as interesting as this one, while Jaiden preferred to read about famous quidditch players. But there was just something about history that made her so passionate, hearing tales about the olden times, about Witches quests and Wizard duels was always what her mother had told her as she fell asleep. History always made her feel home. Hayden looked up as Professor Spenser passed her desk, and spoke softly to stop him. "Um...Professor? Are you alright? It sure does sound like a rather bad sore throat." Her accent leaked softly into her voice, and she smiled to herself, feeling slightly better that she had asked her Professor that question, knowing that it was at least something she could do.

Frederick had been enjoying his moments of free time during the first few weeks of school. The classes so far had been manageable and his growing familiarity with all the different areas of the castle made him feel quite comfortable in his home away from home. He knew that this leisurely pace wouldn't last much longer as he would have to added quidditch practice and games to his weekly schedule. He was over the moon excited when he found out that he made the team. The competition for the open beater position had fierce and he felt lucky to have been given the opportunity. But, he was not a school to play quidditch. The second year was here to learn and today he had History of Magic. He walked into the classroom and took his seat. The Ravenclaw began to pull out his materials for class, but was stopped by his Head House. The boy looked curiously at his professor as he handed him a piece of parchment. Professor Spenser explained that he wouldn't be lecturing today but had a handout for them instead. Not wanting to waste any class time, Freddy read through the written lesson and quickly underlined pieces of information that looked important. When he was done, he gathered his things and left the room.
