~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For 2nd-7th years:
It is the day you've been waiting for; the day an owl would come and give you your letter to come back to Hogwarts! Well, you were right about that! An owl swoops into your house and drops a letter onto your lap. It says the exact same thing, except new books and that you don't need to buy a new wand, unless you already broke yours.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Classes:
Ancient Runes Teacher Bathsheba Babbling (uncertain) Textbook: Various rune dictionaries, Ancient Runes Made Easy Magical Hieroglyphs and Logograms (OP26) Spellman's Syllabary (OP26) Classwork/homework includes plenty of practice interpreting runes. The O.W.L. involves translating something written in runes into English.
Arithmancy Teacher Professor Vector Textbook Numerology and Gramatica
Astronomy Teacher Professor Sinistra Textbook: None specified for first year or subsequent years, but the O.W.L.. has a theory as well as a practical component. Meets at midnight at the top of the Astronomy Tower. Essays for the theory portion involve learning a lot of facts During their practical O.W.L., the fifth years had to fill in a star chart by locating and correctly identifying various celestial bodies then visible in the sky (OP31).
Care of Magical Creatures Teacher: Hagrid Textbook: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Monster Book of Monsters Classwork usually consists of handling, feeding, controlling various creatures. Homework included drawing a detailed diagram of a bowtruckle with all parts labeled.
Charms Teacher Professor Flitwick Textbook: The Standard Book of Spells (?) Classwork involves trying various charms, such as Cheering Charm. Textbook: The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection, Defensive Magical Theory, Confronting the Faceless classwork varies depending on the teacher, but studies evil magic and creatures and how to cope with them year one: general overview year two: basic Dark creatures year three: intermediate Dark creatures year four: curses year five: no idea what a competent teacher would have set; as it was, just read the Slinkhard book year six: Dementors, Inferi
Divination Teacher: Professor Trelawney Textbook: Unfogging the Future, The Dream Oracle An elective, offered beginning in third year, this course covers reading tea leaves, palmistry, crystal balls, astrology, and more.
Although centaurs, like humans, practice astrology, they go about it with a different emphasis. In their view, divination is far more useful for predicting large changes than day-to-day trivial events.
Trelawney's classroom is located at the top of North Tower near her living quarters.
Flying Teacher Madam Hooch Textbook: none, practical only Teaching students to fly on broomsticks.
Herbology Teacher: Professor Sprout Textbook: One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi Class takes place in the greenhouses outside the castle Second years work in Greenhouse Three, where there are more interesting and dangerous plants Second years: repotting Mandrakes Fourth years: harvest Bubotuber pus
History of Magic Teacher: Professor Binns Textbook: A History of Magic Extremely boring lectures on various aspects of magical history. However, the boredom is due to Binns' teaching style, not the material itself, which tends to emphasize vicious goblin riots, outright goblin rebellions, and giant wars.
Muggle Studies Teacher Charity: Burbage Textbook: Home Life and Social Habits of British Muggles (PA13) Classwork includes charts showing Muggles lifting heavy objects without magic, understanding the importance of electricity to Muggle technology, and so on.
Potions Teacher: Professor Severus Snape Textbook: Magical Drafts and Potions, also One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi (OP17) and Advanced Potion-Making (HBP9) Usually a double class Takes place in a dungeon, drafty and cold Memorizing the properties of various potion ingredients, the composition of specific potions, and practice preparing them essays on the properties of potion ingredients (and occasionally analyzing how a student's practical assignment specifically went wrong and how to correct it)
Transfiguration Teacher: Professor McGonagall Textbook: A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration, Intermediate Transfiguration, Guide to Advanced Transfiguration Classwork includes lectures and practical, such as changing beetles into buttons.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Housing:
Gryffindor values bravery, daring, nerve, and chivalry Hufflepuff values hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play rather than a particular aptitude in its members Ravenclaw values intelligence, knowledge, and wit. Its emblematic animal is the eagle, and its colours are blue and bronze. Slytherin house values ambition, cunning and resourcefulness and was founded by Salazar Slytherin. Its emblematic animal is the serpent, and its colours are emerald green and silver.
REMEMBER: It seems that the Sorting Hat tends to place students based on qualities they value rather than qualities they exhibit. The Hat also appears to take the student's wishes into account, considering how one's personal choices are very much of a reflection of the qualities that they values in themselves. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mike and Micheal- The family was gathering around the table for breakfast when 5 owls came in. They dropped letters in front of them. "Letter from Hogwarts!" Judy, the youngest daughter said. The kids opened their letters. They all read them quickly. Let me tell you a bit more about them first.
Jordan is the oldest kid. 7th year. Micheal is the older twin by 3 minutes. 6th year. Mike is the younger twin. 6th year. Penny is the oldest daughter. 4th year. Judy is the youngest kid. 2nd year.
They are all in Ravenclaw. "Mike, I just realized something. We'll be able to take Appariation lessons and take the test this year!" Micheal says. "Awww right!" Mike replies, grinning wildly. "I already took Appariation lessons and the test!" Jordan says. The twins roll their eyes. Suddenly, their mom comes out of nowhere. "Hurry up! You guys got lots of chores to do. We will be leaving for Diagon Alley today, so quickly!" she says. The kids groan. "Oh shush it!"

Mike and Micheal The family does their chores quickly. The family goes to their chimney. "Alright. We will be traveling by Floo powder. Everyone remembers what to do, correct? Okay. Good. Jordan, you go first." their mom said. Jordan took a handful of Floo powder and threw it into the chimney. He stepped through and yelled, "DIAGON ALLEY!" and he disappeared. "Mike, Micheal. Your turn." Micheal grabbed a handful and threw it into the fire. The twins held hands and jumped into the fire, yelling, "DIAGON ALLEY." They went up into the chimney. Then, they landed on their feet. "Floo powder is fun." Mike says. Micheal nods in his head in agreement. The family appeared next to them. |
