Stolen Time

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

My first class of the day was with the Gryffindor, Slytherin, seventh years. Or so I was told. Only about ten students showed up and they were from all of the houses.

"Well hello," I sigh "I am professor Percy White. I understand that Professor Binns was your previous teacher. I was told he made this subject incredibly dull so I thank you for sticking through until now. Would any of you like to tell me what you covered last year?" A red-headed boy raised his hand. "Yes, Mister-?"

"Percy Weasley, Ma'am." he said

"Nice name." I laugh. He flushed redder than his hair.

"We spent a fair while on the first wizarding war."

"Alright, thank you," I think for a moment "Anything else?" A small asian girl raised her hand. "Ms-?"

"Clearwater, ma'am. Penelope Clearwater. We did a lot of review of the thing we did in earlier years, such as the Giant Wars and Goblin Rebellions."

"Alright, thank you. Now I know in your other classes, you will be getting speeches about the importance of N.E.W.T.s, so I thought we might be able to skip that here. Just Promise me you'll listen to Professor Mcgonagall when she goes on about it and then apply it to this class." A small bit of laughter came from the small group.

"Alright. This year we are going to cover the Second Wizarding War. We will move onto the imprisonment of house elves in the second term and the muggle's view on magic in the third. We'll have a few smaller units slotted in between those three but I will mention those when we get there." I take a breath "Any questions?" they all just sit there "Alright, first off, I want to learn your names."

Along with Percy Weasley and Penelope Clearwater, there was Murvyn Plant, Jonny Kawasaki, Garnet Waffalet, Butch Garvin, Claiborne Burkmenn, Rica Blotner, and Rica Tobias. I already know I'm not going  to remember their names.

"Time's up for today, for next class I want you all to write me paragraph saying what you know already about the second wizarding war. Be honest. If you don't know much, tell me that, but tell me what you do know." I flash them all a smile. "This is a paragraph please. I don't want to be reading through essays in the first week of school just as much as I expect you don't want to be writing them. I will dock points for anything longer than ten inches. If you know a lot, then summarize." they all look super bored. "Class dismissed, get out of here."

Second block is again the Gryffindors and Slytherins but this time, it's third years.

"Hello. My name is Professor Percy White, and I am your new history of magic professor." A hand shot up in the air. It was the girls from the train. I never did learn her name. "Yes?"

"What happened to Professor Binns?" She asks

"What is your name?" I ask back

"Hermione Granger, miss."

"Well, Hermione, I was told that he ran into some wizards who don't like ghosts too much, long story short, he is okay, he just chose to spend the rest of his after life haunting those wizards so he resigned."

"Oh," Hermione mumbled.

"Now this year we will start out by studying witch hunts and the Salem witch trials."

The class drones on. We do intros much like my first class. I learn that I have two Weasley's in my classes. Percy's younger brother, Ronald, is in this class. So far that is the only siblings i have in different years- there was a set of twins among the Slytherins.
