Prussia stood fidgeting in front of the desk, a little nervous with his first class. Since he had been away from teaching, he was worried of boring his students. Learning should be something fun, something that'll make students want to know more. He had a lot of interesting stories, but what made teaching hard was that people show interest in different places. That made teaching history harder, because the focus points of interest varies with each student a lot more than any other subject. He hoped that he wouldn't bore his students to sleep.

Students started to file into the class room. Some looked tired already, and Prussia sighed exasperated. I sometimes wonder when people lost their endurance. After a few minutes, the last of the students came in and sat down. "Settle down," he said, silencing the crowd. He coughed twice, and started talking again.

"Welcome to a new year of History of Magic. I am your new teacher Gilbert Beilschmidt." He took a deep breath, leaned on the desk facing his students. "Since this is your first time with me, as well as my first class, I would like to explain how this class is important, and how this class would work." Some snickered at the statement, and some groaned. They have no patience at all. He thought, slightly amused. "Now, my first question. Why is history a necessary subject to learn?" He found one hand that shot up the moment he finished his statement. He wasn't surprised that it was Hermione's. He looked for other hands, but none went up. "State your name and house when you answer," he said as he pointed Hermione. "Hermione Granger, Gryffindor." She answered standing up. "It's an important subject because it helps us learn of the past, and apply what we learned to the future. It makes us learn how our customs came to be." she seemed confident in her answer as she sat down.

"Ja, that is true. But I think most of you wouldn't understand why learning how y-, we came to be is important. Oh and five points to Gryffindor." He said, as he went to the blackboard behind him. He picked up a piece of chalk and wrote History in big letters. He faced the class and then asked, "Alright, now who makes history?"

This time a few more hands went up after Hermione's. Prussia pointed a random boy. "Neville Longbottom, Gry- Gryffindor. Um, humans make history." The boy said timidly as he sat down.

"Good answer," Gilbert said as he wrote down Humans next to History. "Humans. Humans are the one who make history. We, make history. And the history we learn to day is made from people of the past.

"It is very important to learn and understand how the world came together. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you have one day woken up to find all of your memories gone? Imagine this; you can't remember your name, who you are, who your parents are, who your friends are. Total panic right? This is why we need to learn history. We need to know how countries came to be, how powers waxed and waned so that you know where you stand in the world. It's knowing yourself only on a bigger scale. Learning history also enhances your ability to understand other cultures. If you know how others came to be, you would understand why the people of that country acts differently from you." Prussia paused for a second and looked at the class. They didn't seem bored….yet.

"That is why I'm going to teach you Muggle history as well as the usual stuff this year." Prussia said with a smirk.

The class erupted into chaos as students started to talk about what he just said. This is going to be fun. He thought as he rubbed his hands.

"Excuse me, Professor but won't they teach that stuff at Muggle studies? This is a history class. Why do we have to learn things about Muggles?" A student called out.

Prussia snickered "I'd say I'm doing a favor, Muggle history is actually quite interesting compared to Wizard history since Muggles have a bigger community. And you'd laugh at how much these countries fight, and how they fight. Of course, war isn't something to laugh about, but sometimes you can't resist a snicker or two. Like how France had been beaten to a pulp by England under 30 minutes in a battle in Canada.* That aside, you can't ignore how Muggle history has affected Wizards as well. Like how when Rome invaded England, Wizards had helped the Muggles get rid of the invaders. Or how Muggles taught Wizards modern medicine, which wizards used to create more practical healing spells. Most of the knowledge they learned to make these spells came from Muggles. Although now muggles don't know we exist, we've been affecting each other for ages, and will probably do so from now on as well. Furthermore, since muggles don't have magic, they made something else which is called science to help their daily lives. It's important to learn about these things as well, so that you can use it as a mirror to better understand your culture and standing. We're starting with Muggle history, Ancient Greek and Roman history to be precise. Any questions?"

There were a few murmurs, but no one asked anything. "Good. Now…"

Prussia was tired. The last time he taught someone was over a century ago, and he had forgotten how tiring it could be. It was worth it though, because he felt immense satisfaction that he was able to do something instead of lying around at West's house. He was therefore tired, but giddy as he went to the great hall for dinner.

"How was your first class?" Lupin asked as Prussia sat down.

"Tiring, but satisfying I'd say." Prussia answered digging into his food.

"I've been wanting to ask you but are you from Germany?"

"Ja,"

"I suspect you're from the west side then."

Prussia froze for a second at that statement, but quickly gained composure and said, "Ja, I am."

Lupin raised an eyebrow questioning him but said nothing as he continued to eat his food. I can't believe I just made that slip up. I should've just told him I was from America with German parents or something. Prussia thought as he continued eating in silence. I really should be careful.

After dinner, Prussia quicly returned to his room. Rembering his daily reports, Prussia brought the parchment out and wrote,

Nothing to report today

Gilbert

He also decided to write a letter to his brother.

Dear West,

Today was the first day of class, and it was great! It's fun teaching children. You get a valid reason to scare the crap out of them. Don't worry I haven't done anything to hurt them...yet. Kesesese, I'm only joking. Hope meetings aren't killing you there! Write back.

Gilbert

Satisfied, he decided to send it using an owl provided by the school since he doubted gilbird would be able to carry the weight all the way to Germany. Too late to go out to do so, he decided to to do it in the morning.

Putting the parchment and the letter into his desk, he went to bed where he promptly fell asleep.

I am so sorry for not posting chapters for a long period of time. I know this is a bit rushed and short and I'm extremely sorry. I'm planning to edit the chapters and stock some up so I can put chapters up every one week or so by the end of March.

Thank you for reading, and thank you so much for the reviews.
