We will, again, study the Art of Pyromancy. In the center of each table there is a bowl filled with fire. You will each find place at your right hand a bowl of herbs, namely betony, plantain, nettles, and thyme. These you will use to divine. I shall guide you in the conducting of the ritual. Would everyone please stand? Thank you. Now hold your bowl of herbs in your wand hand and hold your other hand up in front of your chest, palm forward. Good. When I say begin, everyone shall walk evenly around your table, staring at the back of the person in front of them. Walk until I say stop, then sit on the nearest chair. Ready? Begin.
Stop! Everyone sit down. Now we will stare into the flames for three minutes, pondering the future.
Three minutes are up. Now I would like everyone on the North side of the table to take a handful of their herbs and toss them into the flames. Good. Now everyone on the South... the East... and finally the West. For the next step, I would like everyone to sit back. I am going to extinguish the flames. There!
Carefully, for the bowls may still be hot, pass the bowl around for everyone at the table to study the herbs. I wish for you to write down your observations and what you see.
Class is over now. Please put everything away. I know you will have a wonderful holiday and I hope to see you next year. Good bye and good luck!

Hello class. First, I would like to read aloud the letter I received from our werewolf corrospondent.
Dear First Year Hogwarts Students,
Thank you for your interest in werewolves and lycanthropy. I hope to answer some of your questions to promote greater understanding of werewolves. Your questions and my answers are listed below.
What is the most common question you are asked when people learn you are a werewolf? Probably the most common question I'm asked is not asked directly, but I can tell people wish to know 'Are you just suddenly going to turn and bite me?' or 'Am I putting myself in danger standing this close to you?' The answer is a very definite NO to both questions. I always try to stay in a place where I can do no harm during the full moon and at all other times, I am a normal human being. In one instance, a human with lycanthropy became very fond of being a werewolf, so he mutated to be constantly half wolf and half human. When he bit people during another part of the moon cycle, he did cause the victim to become more wolfish, but not a true werewolf.
Is transforming painful? Yes. Anytime that your body mutates, it is generally accompanied by great pain.
If I met a werewolf in the human state, would I be able to tell his condition? In most cases, no.
Are there female werewolves as well as male? Yes, both boys and girls, men and women can become werewolves if bitten.
Can animals become werewolves? No one is quite sure of this answer. There have been reports of wereanimals, but this may have been caused by a spell instead of a bite.
Thank you for your questions. I hope that I have provided satisfactory answers and I welcome more quesitons.
Yours truly,
A. Werewolf
Of course, his name isn't A. Werewolf but he wishes to remain anonymous. Now, if any of those questions were yours, please take out a quill and parchment and write a short bit about if that answered your question and if the answer was what you expected. If none of your questions were chosen, choose one of the questions to write about and tell if the answer was what you expected.
Time is up class. Please turn in your papers. Your homework is to write a thank you letter and get it to me before you leave for break. Have a wonderful safe winter break!

Before you head off to vacation, I thought I would give you a bit more to think about. Please take out a quill and parchment to take notes.
Every number has a meaning and a personality that goes with it. By knowing someone's name, you can figure their number and from there, their personality. I will be teaching you the meanings that go with people's numbers
One
Keywords: Leader, Loner, Independent, Focused, and Determined
Ones set goals and stick to them. They are leaders and inventors.
They don't like working with others and often refuse to take orders.
Frequent bad traits of the one are being self-centered, egotistical, and domineering
Two
Keywords: Interaction, Creative, Harmony, Loyal, Fair, and Balanced
Twos represent equality, two way communication, co-operation, and harmony
They also represent conflicts, opposing forces, and contrast: day and night, good and evil
Bad trait of the two include being withdrawn, moody, self-conscious, and indecisive.
Does everyone have that? Good. Please think of someone you know whose name boils down to one or two. Your homework is to write about how this does or doesn't describe them. Class is dismissed and happy holidays!

I promised you last class that we would be finished with the wood charm. Correct. However, today I wish to be absolutely sure that you have completed the match to needle charm, and back. So everyone standing on that half of the room, please come stand on this side of my desk. Line up neatly and no shoving. Everyone will get their turn. Now everyone on that side of the room, come stand on this side of my desk. Good. Now here is what we are going to do. You on the right, you are going to turn this match into a needle and give it to the person on your left and then go to the back of the line. You on the left, you will turn it back to a match, give it to the next person in the line on the right and go to the end of your line. This will go on until we reach the end of the line. You may begin.
Well done. We are now back at the beginning, so I would like the two lines to switch. Those on the left will now turn the match to a needle, and those on the right will turn the needle to a match.
That exercise has been completed now, so please return to your seats. You have no homework over the holiday break, however everyone who is going home, I will remind you that you may not do any spells! I repeat: NO MAGIC OVER THE HOLIDAY! Got that? Good. Class is dismissed and I will see you next year.

Before your brains go into break mode, I would like you to learn two more runes: Hagalaz and Jera. Quills and parchment out and please copy what is on the blackboard.
Jera
Harvest
Use to create positive, lasting change.
If found in a reading, it means that a project is going well and success comes to those who wait for it. Do not rush your project and all will be well.
If found reversed in a reading, it means that you are wandering aimlessly in a project, you need to set deadlines and goals.
Hagalaz
Also known as: Hagal
Delays, Upheaval, Risks
Can be used to turn someone's past against them
If you draw this rune, expect a great upheaval in your life. It may be good, however. It may an awakening to greater knowledge or a great idea. Be prepared, though, that this will not be an easy time for you.
There you have them! Quills down, then, and parchments away. Your homework is to simply review all the runes you have learnt so far and to try to not forget the Runic Alphabet over winter break. Class is dismissed for the year.
