They came to order surprisingly quickly. That was good. Karkaroff twirled his goatee around a finger and surveyed their ranks; for all their size, they were surprisingly intimidating. He tried to pinpoint why and realized it was because most of them had gotten out their textbooks and were staring at him. Intently. Like they expected him to teach them something.

Karkaroff Summoned a piece of chalk.
