CHAPTER SIX RELIGION AND BRIEFS

THE SUN IS SETTING IN THE RISE AS EVERYONE IS RAISING FOR A NEW DAY OF CLASSES AND OTHER EVENTS AMANDA AND THE OTHERS ARE GETTING READY FOR BREAKFAST BEFORE THEIR FIRST CLASS. THEY ARE DRESS AND WALKING TO THE GREAT HALL FOR BREAKFAST. AMANDA ARRIVES AT THE GREAT HALL BEFORE THE OTHERS, SHE WAITS FOR THEM TO ARRIVE BEFORE SHE ENTER THE GREAT HALL. AMANDA SEES STEVEN WALKING UP TO HER AND WAVES AS HE REACHES HER AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE GREAT HALL. STEVEN ASKED AMANDA, 'WHY SHE STANDING AT THE ENTRANCE?'

AMANDA TELLS STEVEN SHE IS WAITING ON THEM TO ARRIVE BEFORE SHE ENTER THE GREAT HALL. WHILE AMANDA AND STEVEN ARE TALKING ISMAY AND ALICIA ARE ARRIVING AT THE GREAT HALL, THEY SEE AMANDA AND STEVEN STANDING AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE GREAT HALL. THEY WALK OVER TO THEM AND ISMAY ASKED THEM, 'WHO ARE YOU WAITING FOR?' AMANDA SPEAKS FIRST, 'I AM WAITING ON ALL OF YOU TO ARRIVE FOR BREAKFAST. ALICIA ASKED THEM, 'IF THEY HAVE SEEN MELVIN AND MATTHEW YET.' STEVEN SPEAKS, 'NO WE HAVEN'T SEEN MATTHEW AND MELVIN ARRIVE AT THE GREAT HALL.'

AFTER ALICIA HAD ASKED THEM ABOUT MELVIN AND MATTHEW, THEY WALKING AROUND THE CORNER HEADING THEIR WAY TO THE GREAT HALL. AMANDA TELLS THE OTHERS IT IS TIME TO ENTER THE GREAT HALL FOR BREAKFAST. THEY WALK INTO THE GREAT HALL AND WALK TO EACH OF THEIR TABLE FOR BREAKFAST. AS THEY ARE SITTING DOWN AT THEIR TABLE, PROFESSOR DAGFINHER MADE A ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT TROUBLE BREWING IN THE FORBIDDEN FOREST AND FOR THEM NOT TO ENTER WITHOUT A ESCORT. PROFESSOR DAGFINHER MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT, HE TELLS THEY CAN EAT NOW. THEY BEGIN FIXING THEIR PLATES WITH DELICIOUS ROASTED HAM SLICES AND SCRAMBLE EGGS WITH BISCUITS.

THEY ARE SITTING EATING THEIR BREAKFAST WHEN THE GROUNDSKEEPER COMES RUNNING INTO THE GREAT HALL TO SPEAK WITH PROFESSOR DAGFINHER. WHILE THE GROUNDSKEEPER IS SPEAKING TO PROFESSOR DAGFINHER ABOUT SOMETHING SERIOUS, AMANDA AND THE OTHERS ARE CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT IN PRIVATE. AMANDA DECIDES TO DO A SPELL TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY ARE DISCUSSING AMONGST THEMSELVES. SHE IS ABOUT TO CAST THE SPELL WHEN PROFESSOR DAGFINHER INTERRUPTED TO TELLS THE STUDENTS TO FINISH EATING BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO ATTEND THEIR CLASS IMMEDIATELY. PROFESSOR DAGFINHER LOOKS AROUND TO SEE IF EVERYONE IS FINISH THEN HE DISMISSES THEM TO ATTEND THEIR CLASS. EVERYBODY FINISH EATING AND LINED UP TO WALK TO THEIR FIRST CLASS.

EVERYBODY WALK OUT OF THE GREAT HALL AND WALK TO THEIR CLASS. AMANDA ASKED THE OTHERS WHERE THEY WALKING TO? ISMAY TELLS THEM SHE IS WALKING TO ADVANCED STONES CLASS. MELVIN TELLS THEM HE IS WALKING TO ADVANCED STONES. ISMAY ASKED MELVIN, 'CAN I WALK WITH YOU TO CLASS.' MELVIN TELLS ISMAY SHE CAN WALK WITH HIM TO CLASS.

THEY WALK OFF TO THEIR ADVANCED STONES CLASS. STEVEN TELLS THEM HE IS WALKING TO RELIGION AND BRIEFS CLASS. AMANDA ASKED STEVEN, 'MAY I WALK WITH YOU TO CLASS.' STEVEN TELLS AMANDA SHE CAN WALK WITH HIM TO CLASS. MATTHEW SAYS, 'WE ARE THE LAST TO WALK TO CLASS SO YOU MUST BE WALKING TO ADVANCED ASTRONOMY CLASS?' ALICIA TELLS MATTHEW SHE IS WALKING TO ADVANCED ASTRONOMY CLASS.

THEY WALK OFF TO THEIR NEXT CLASS. AMANDA AND STEVEN ARRIVE AT THEIR RELIGION AND BRIEFS. THEY ENTER THE CLASSROOM TO FIND THEM A SEAT TO SIT DOWN. THEY ARE SITTING DOWN WHILE PROFESSOR GREEDS WAVES HER HAND IN THE AIR TO SPELL OUT HER NAME, 'PROFESSOR GREEDS,' IN THE AIR.

THIS IS CLASS IS RELIGION AND BELIEFS AND YOU WILL BE LEARNING ABOUT OTHER RELIGION BESIDES OUR OWN.

THE FIRST RELIGION, YOU WILL BE STUDYING IS BUDDHISM. SHE HANDS THEM A LIST OF BOOKS AND OTHER ITEMS FOR THEM TO BRING TO CLASS THE NEXT THEY COME. AFTER SHE TELLS THE CLASS ABOUT THE SUBJECT OF STUDY, THEY WILL BE STUDYING. SHE STARTS TO ASK THEM QUESTIONS ON BUDDHISM TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE ON THE SUBJECT. THE FIRST QUESTION IS ASKED, 'WHAT TYPE OF TREE DID BUDDHA SIT UP UNDER?' AMANDA RAISES HER HAND TO ANSWER THE QUESTION.

PROFESSOR GREEDS ASKED AN OTHER QUESTION. THE SECOND QUESTION IS ASKED, 'WHAT YEAR DID HE DIED?' STEVEN RAISES HIS HAND TO ANSWER THE QUESTION.
