A/N: okay enough with the people telling me I keep calling the peoples MRS
instead of Miss!!!! Sheesh! I don't particularly care!!! Not mad just
getting aggravated cause I thought I fixed them all, but in the future all
my readers should make note to ignore it!!! it isn't that hard to figure
out is it?
queen of the bitch people: hmm.even Microsoft word doesn't see any errors in my spelling so please point them out to me and I'll update with them fixed. Might be the names that I misspelled but hey, I'm too lazy to check them all. The only one I can see that you might notice is that I spell magick with a k, I do that on purpose, or now by habit. Because I'm a witch by religion/lifestyle (paganism, witchcraft, druidism, shamanism, etc.) that's my way of showing it.I even do it in school which annoys the piss out of my English teacher lol. My puter dictionary at my house has that in it as the right spelling instead of magic hehehe . She'll get over it. ^_^ anyway.now that I've started rambling ..
PheonixLady: hehehe did the evil puter agree with you long enough to read my fic?? Kewl ^_^ luv ya sis ^_^ and hun.you only need to press the review button once!!! *sticks tongue out at you*
And thanx to the rest of my reviewers!!!

Chapter 7: Class!!!

"Welcome to History of Magick, class. "As you have probably noticed I've made quite a few changes to the old classroom. And if you didn't notice I suggest you get your eyes checked." I walked to the front of my desk and sat down on the edge of it and crossed my arms loosely. "I will be teaching this class very differently then Professor Binns did. This class will be held in multiple locations as well after I get an idea of what I can expect of each of my classes as a whole. Do any of you have an interest in this subject, despite the way Professor Binns taught?"
Very few hands were raised, but it didn't dampen my spirits. This was the fifth year group of Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs. Better them then the Slytherins and Gryffindors first. I glanced at all the faces in the classroom. They were all interested enough in what I was saying at the moment, but I wondered how long it was going to last. They all seemed to expect things to be the same in this class despite what I said to them. Well, they had another things coming to them.
"Alright, I know you're all probably wondering how on earth I could make this class interesting, but I assure you that I will find a way. As things progress I will be open to suggestions as to what you wish to learn about. I'll even tell you about all the places I've been. There are very few places I haven't traveled too in the last several years.
Every one of the statues, paintings, sculptures, and the like I got in the places they were made. All of them are authentic. I worked as an archeologist in both the muggle and wizarding worlds so I could support myself. If you see a piece that interests you just ask about it, I know the history of each piece and the area that it was made in.
We will be starting the year learning more about the history of Hogwarts itself as an introduction to the way I will be teaching the course. We will be meeting in various locations on the school grounds, your schedules have been charmed to show you where you should expect to meet for class.
Is there anything that any of you would like to learn about this year? And don't forget that current events are also a part of the History of Magick. Yes you in the front.please tell me your name and then you can answer my question."
"My name is Evangeline Selendra, Professor. Are you going to take us into the Chamber of Secrets?"
"I could talk to the headmaster about it I suppose, but there is still very little known about what else could be in there and what its real purpose was for. Though it was the home of an ancient basilisk, it is possible that it could have been nothing more then a mere pet of Salazaar's. It could contain many other things as well. And technicaly somebody needs to be a parselmouth to be able to open it, although an alternate entrance route may have found by now."
They asked many more questions and I told them stories about things here and there. They asked about my friendship with Harry of course and I saw the girls swooning in their own fantasies while I talked. I loved harry but it was pathetic how people looked up to him just because of who he was. He had such a hard time getting a decent girlfriend because most of the girls he wanted were going to just have him as some sort of trophy.
I looked up to check the time. "Alright class, that's enough questions for now I hope you all brought your text book with you, and I want you to read the first chapter and take notes on the important points. Don't groan at me! Bookwork is just as important as anything else, and I need to hand out some assignments. You'll get over it. If you don't have any notes you won't receive credit for the reading. Have a good day!"
I sat down at my desk and shuffled through my papers and went through my notes for the next class. Slytherin and Gryffindors, the sixth year group, were to be the next class that I would have. I wondered if house rivalry between those two was the same, I doubted that it would be any different. Human evolution...right... that was what they wanted you to believe wasn't it?
The rest of my classes for that day went quite the same way. The first years were a little more open to history because they hadn't had to deal with the boring Professor Binns. Even I had had a hard time staying awake in his class. By the time dinner came around I was quite looking forward to it. No more classes for the day and finally I could relax.
