Seventh Years: Lesson 5

Professor Killian Borisyuk had a small pile of parchment in his hand, which might be equivalent to a much larger one if held by normal people. It was full of quizzes for the next couple of weeks, so he separated them out as the seventh years piled in. It would be an easy, quiet lesson for him, so he could not complain. He could work on other things. It would not be long until these students were out in the real world. Either they would succeed, fail, or just survive. Either way, it was no skin off his back nor did he hold any sort of attachments toward the students. Once the seventh years were in, he gestured at the door with his free hand to close it. "Just like I said previously, you will be revising for the remainder of the year over the last six years. Today, you will be going back to your first, second, and third year. Long time since then, so let's not waste time."

Killian stood up from his chair, and passed out the revision sheets one by one, almost as if to remind them of his massive height - even if it was not intentional. "Even though I don't teach the younger years, I have the answers and went over the material myself so if you have questions, I'll be able to answer them. When you are done with your sheets, bring them back to me, and you'll be free to go. There is a fair bit on the sheet about Merlin, so hopefully you all remember that old man." Killian finished passing out the sheets and sat down behind the desk once more. Just as he promised, once they were done, he dismissed the seventh years without homework.

[Todd Cobbler]

Todd arrived for the penultimate History of Magic lesson which was a review of everything from first to third year, a period that felt like a lifetime ago. He read through all the questions and began working through them, jumping around rather than answering in order. Most answers came easily, but the name of King Arthur’s half sister and the identities of two accused witches in the trials eluded him. Names had never been his strong suit. Once he finished, he handed in his answers and made his way out of the classroom, feeling strange to be nearly done with Hogwarts.

 

[Chaos Zhefarovich II]

The Gryffindor prefect decided that today he was going to try to be early to class. Chaos Zhefarovich the Second looked over his hair as he got ready. It looked as perfect as it ever would be. He figured that this would always be how he looked since there was nothing he could do to change his style. His hair had a mind of its own. He wondered if he got it from his mother or father. It was hard to tell. Chaos buttoned up his shirt next, and then put on his robes with the Gryffindor prefect badge on his chest. He looked good, if he could say so himself. He definitely got the better half from his mother. He smirked in the mirror and left to head on to his class.

Chaos walked in the History of Magic class and sat down in his seat. While this was not his favorite class, he did enjoy the content of it this year. And they were going to have a quiz over what they had learned over the last six years, divided in two. He received his and started to write down the answers. It took him a few minutes to remember everything though, but at least he did. He turned it in for grading and then left the classroom to go study on his own.​
