Seventh Years, Lesson Three

"Good morning, seventh years. I'm going over a rather controversial topic. But when you witnessed the Unforgivable curses in Defence Against the Dark Arts as fourth years, so let's get into it." To him, not much could compare to that.


he sat down behind her desk and leaned back in the chair, looking down at the students as she started, "You are all aware of who the Death Eaters were and what sort of things they had done under their leader, Voldemort. The followers of that snake-like man have either been imprisoned, retired, or just plain dead. Good riddance considering what they were responsible for. Anyway, there are others out there that seek chaos that aren't followers of a man that was obsessed with a teenager and scared of an old man, which will go to show that you may encounter these people as they are thriving to this day." Vader gave a small shrug of his shoulders. "The group I am referring to remains active to this day named the Scitorari. The Scitorari means 'those who seek knowledge', roughly translated from Latin. From my understanding, the Scitorari believe that the wizarding community is not using magic to its full potential overall."


Vader could not say right off the bat on their common beliefs or goals because the Scitorari were so much more complex than the simple-minded Death Eaters. "I didn't say immediately what they believe is hindering magic because the Scitorari have different groups that all believe something different, allegedly, from what I have heard. Maybe they are just one group, or hundreds of smaller groups united under one name. The best way to identify this group is a ring they all wear." Vader took out his wand and tapped the board for the the chalk to draw up a circle, but then finished off with an Ouroboros, which was a dragon in a circle swallowing its own tail. "This is their symbol. It is called an Ouroboros. Now, the Scitorari didn't come up with this symbol on their own as it has been seen in history. However, with how many groups there are, maybe they had. Maybe they have been around much longer than we know."


Vader let that sink in their heads before she tapped the board again to erase the drawing of the dragon to replace it with the homework. "This is the homework. Due by next lesson. Class dismissed." Trina motioned toward the door to let it open and free the seventh years. The Scitorari was such a complex group, and he had no idea that his brother was involved.Assignment: RP the lesson.
