Seventh years. NEWT Year. Jonathan smiled sympathetically at his class, taking a long sip of tea before beginning to speak.

"Welcome back to History of Magic...for what will be the last time," he began, looking around at his small class. "As you would definitely be aware, this is it. NEWT year. Your final year of Hogwarts, your final exams. Your future awaits you right after that final hurdle, which will be here before you know it." Jonathan snorted. "I'm sorry, didn't mean to give you the clichéd spiel there. You know all this stuff, you know it's all important, you don't need to hear it again from me." Jonathan grinned. "So, as NEWTs are upon us, naturally there is not too much detailed learning in History of Magic. I am afraid to say that most of this year's work is, in fact, revision of the previous six years. There is some new work next week but apart from that, it is all preparation for your final exams. Not to worry, though, I will make what we do learn as interesting as possible." Jonathan grinned, but a little sadly. Soon, all these students would be gone from inside the castle walls, out to make their ways in the 'real world', with the current sixth years in their place.

"Well, I expect you have an awful lot of work to do, so I'll let you go now, and see you next week, ready to learn!" Beaming, Jonathan sat back down, draining the last of his cup of tea.

[justify]It almost killed Troxa Matthias to leave behind his daughter to Arman Matthias. Auden had produced a beautiful, baby girl to the two of them, and then they were allowed to go back to school. They could only see the girl upon the Brightstone weekends. Troxa walked into the History of Magic classroom and settled down into his seat. He looked around with his amber eyes that were somewhat numb right now. He really loved Auden and wished that she was here right now with him to help him out through this, even though she must be going through the same thing. Departing a child was much harder than he had realized. Sighing, he had to force his daughter out of his mind so that he could possibly focus on the lesson before him. It was about to start at any minute since the seventh years arrived and the professor seemed ready. The History of Magic professor continued on with how this year would be important. The NEWTs were there, and there would be some new things and some revision. The professor soon dismissed the class, so he got up and left.[/justify]

Knots tightened in his stomach when he briefly looked through the material of all six previous years. History of magic never was his greatest strength but it was a course he needed to sit for his NEWTS if he wanted to become a spell crafter. In order to understand better the complex nature of spells, he needed to study the work of other spell crafters that left their names in history. The problem was that he had to learn every other date and historical event unrelated with the topic he was interested in. Getting a headache from the list he was going through again and again, he folded the piece of parchment and put it away in his bag. He was early for his first class, already sitting at the first row waiting for the lesson to start. Minoas didn't realize the frown formed on his face as he was thinking of the new material, soon to be added to the already huge load of things he had to study for his NEWTS. He was really bad at remembering numbers, dates and hoped there won't be too many to memorize for the next few weeks.

Professor Jonathan Spenser was going to be for another year their History of Magic professor. He was one of the few professors keeping his post for all seven years of Minoas' attendance at Hogwarts. He welcomed his class, reminding to the students the demands and dedication of NEWTS examination but there was also a pleasant announcement. Apparently, they were taught enough about the history of magic to limit any new material to just one class. The rest of semester's sessions were going to be revisions, just what Minoas needed. This made the Gryffindor take a breath of relief but warned himself to not get too comfortable and let the time fly without doing the appropriate amount of work needed to get the marks he wanted. The class was dismissed early that day, offering to the seventh years plenty of spare time to use wisely to their advantage. Although Minoas was tempted to slack off and do more pleasant things, he stood up and exited the class to head to the library. A couple of chapters were a good start for his semester long revision.
