History of Magic info.

[Professor Emersin Deadbane]

<sup>Your eyes have set sight on one of the oldest oak doors in this castle and you are wondering why this class is a requirement. It upsets me that most students do not take this class for fun but by the end of the term your mind will have changed on the subject. Although there may be a select few who actually enjoy learning the history of our world and the muggle one and if you are one of them than you will most likely be me favorite in class. Im the professor I am allowed to pick favorites.

I only kid atleast I hope. So if this class is a dread then you might as well make the most of it and make yourself happy. I will not tolerate those who bring down the rest of the class and you will be sent happily by me to your HOH with detention. Sorry my rules, I am after all the Slytherin HOH so I especcially will not tolerate any disobediance from my house.

Now as for my personality, I am passionate about history and all it has to teach us, and therefore I will dig deep into lectures and my idea of homework are debates at the end of two weeks (I will explain more later). I come from a very wealthy pure blood family and I have been raised proper and I will expect those in my class to act the same as I have when I was your age. My most important rule is to respect me. Once the term as started and we find out more about eachother I am a nice person and I will treat you with respect no matter what your blood is.


Do note that I am not warm when it comes to late assignments or those who whine about them. I will assign more work if you do. So as for the debates, every two weeks we will learn a subject and we will dive deep into them so therefore I believe the only way to truly learn history is if you have an opinion on both sides of the subject. Your debate will be on the opposite of what you believe. For ex. War; for it or against it and if you are for it from the beginning then I want you to do the opposite and debate as a person who is against it. I will also expect a two page paper of how you researched it and your idea on the subject as a whole; listing pros and cons.

So you will not have homework at the end of each class but I will expect you to work on you report and debate during the two weeks.

The room will be set up as if it were an actual college classroom. There will be rows of seat as you can see in the above picture. Also the person you sit by will be your debate partner for the rest of term or I will you who it is. The room if very bright and open and full of very old paintings. It does not look like an ordinary Hogwarts classroom. All classes are held right after lunch.</sup>

Yours,
Professor Emersin Felicity Deadbane
HOH of Slytherin
