Again, we will be memorizing personality traits. You are doing very well! We will be doing this for this class and next, and then you will be done with 1-9. There is, of course, special numbers like eleven, but that is for when you are more advanced. Maybe next year, maybe the year after that. On to seven!
Sevens are hard working and enjoy challenges. Often they are interested in things that are mysterious. They are serious and studious. Material things are too important for them, they prize originality and imagination They can be insecure, pessimistic, and sarcastic.
Eights are the possibility of great success. They have the potential for great results, but the threat of mighty failure is present from the beginning too. They are practical, ambitious, and hard working, though they can be jealous, greedy, and domineering too.
I hope that you got all those down. No homework today, though I would recommend reading through your past notes. Class is dismissed.

Tuesday

Slytherin Time: 1:00
Welcome back. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. For the remainder of the year, I will be teaching you more about spells, rather than creatures as we have been doing, though some, like this one, also include study of creatures. For the start, we will begin with the Curse of the Bogies.
First, let me tell you that what you are most likely imagining is a bat-bogey hex. This is NOT the same thing. The Curse of the Bogies attracts creatures called bogeymen or, when more evolved and developed, demons. They are a group of creatures instead of one particular one. These range from Boggarts to Kelpies.
Before you learn about the effects of this curse, I would like each of you to peruse your copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them to choose a demonic creature and research it. Use what ever resources you wish. You will be expected to give a short report at the end of class. So that leaves you about twenty minutes. Off you go!
Twenty minutes are well up. I would like you to all come up here and line up, alphabetical by last name. You will each have one minute to summarize what you have learned about the creature you chose. When you are finished, get back in line to hear what others have learned.
There is the bell. For homework, write down a summary of your creature, to be turned in next class. Class is dismissed.

Today I thought that I would teach you some more symbols of divination. Please take out a quill and a piece of paper.
The Drum - Gossip
The Feather - Requires more effort
The Hat - A new work situation
The House - Stability
The Noose - Danger ahead
The Ox - Arguments with associates
The Scepter - More responsibilities
If you have finished with that, I would like you to take out a fresh piece of paper.
For this exercise, I want you to translate, from memory, three symbols that I have chosen. Do so as if you were tea-leaf reading for a friend. The symbols are below-
The Book
The Coin
The Fish
Time is up class. Your homework is to finish your translation and turn it in on Thursday. You are dismissed.

Presuming that you haven't forgotten much over Winter Break, I believe that you are ready to start transforming animals into inanimate objects. One of the challenges of working with animals is that they move around quite a bit.
For beginning, I thought that you should try turning beetles into buttons. Before I pass out the beetles though, I would like you to practice saying the spell. Repeat after me: Scarabyga! Say it clearly: Scare-ab-ee-ga! Good. Twice more.
Now if you would each come up here and take a beetle, you may begin trying to turn it into a beetle.
Class, your time is up. Return all beetles up to me and remember to practice on another one that you find. You are dismissed.

Hello class, and welcome back. I hope that you had a good winter break and didn't forget everything while you were gone! To help you remember, I would like you to take out your notes about last class and review the traits of ones and twos.
Is that done? Very well then. Now I would like you to copy down the traits of threes and fours.
Three
Keywords: Completeness, wholeness
Threes are likely to be talented, energetic, artistic and to have a good sense of humor
They are often rich and highly successful, but also unfocused, superfial and easily offended.
Four
Keywords: Stability, firmness, hard working, practical
Fours are organizers and predictable, and prefer logic and reason to being spontaneous.
On the flip side, fours can be suspicious and stubborn. All conflicts possible with twos are doubled with fours
Your homework is the same as last class, only this time with a three or a four. Class is dismissed.

Hello class. I thought today I would combine a translation of runes with learning the meaning of a new one. So I will hand out these sheet with the words for you to translate. I want you to translate it, then I will give you a brief test on what you just read. You have, say, thirty minutes to translate it.
Thirty minutes are up, so please put your papers away in your bags and come up here for your second one. Once everyone is seated again, you may begin.
1. What rune did you read about?
2. What is its meaning?
3. What would it be used for in a test?
Thank you. That will do. It is time for you to go to your next class, so please hand up your papers so that I may grade them. Your homework is to translate the runic sheet into notes you can read at a glance. Class is dismissed.

As the days grow colder, I thought I would bring our studies of the Sight to a warmer area. The study I have in mind is the study of Fire Omens, or Pyromancy. There are many different ways of Pyromancy, but I thought we might start with a combination of Geomancy and Pyromancy. First, look at the bowls of fire in front of you. Notice that they burn by the means of a spell. Notice the lack of fuel. We shall feed them fuel and interpert the resulting flames.
First, I would like this boy here to demonstrate. Now then, dear, it isn't too hard. Just watch closely. Now take a handful of this enchanted wood. Not too big, then, just enough to cup in your palm. Hold it in your palm for thirteen seconds and then toss it into the fire. Boldly, please! Oh, dear. Dear, dear. You see, you should have seen a great burst of flame. Were you asking about your lifespan? Hopefully not. Perhaps we should move onto someone else...
Now please, only one person at a time at a table. Do as you have seen me show the other students. Take a handful, toss it into the flame and keep an open mind. You may leave once you have finished seeing all that you feel that you can see.

I have gotten the kind permission of a werewolf who is willing to answer questions on Lycanthropy. He is not able to be present today, but I will compile a letter to him of all your questions. So today you will look through your notes and think up creative questions to ask. Please don't ask anything too personal! I will expect at least two questions from each of you.
Time is up class, so please bring your questions up to me. I may eliminate some that I do not feel appropriate or relevent, but you will be graded on your questions. No homework, and class is dismissed.

I am pleased to tell you that this will be your last class learning how to turn paper into wood and back. I think, also, for variation, we will be starting with wood and turning it into paper. Please come up and take a board from this stack. You should know the spell by now!
Very good! Most of you have succeeded in completing the charm in fifteen minutes. If you don't have paper yet, continue trying. If you do have paper, switch spells to turn it back into board.
It seems that everyone has finally mastered this spell. In celebration, class will be released ten minutes early with no homework.

I am glad to see that you are making progress. Many of you have actual managed a nice grade of wood. Please hand all board up here and the paper, too.
Now, I want you to turn to your neighbor and discuss things that this spell is useful for. Find at least five uses. You have half an hour.
Time is up, class. What you have been discussing is now your homework. I want seven inches on two reasons this spell is useful. You may go now.

Also, please copy the list so that you have all of the meanings on hand.
Eyes up here, please. Now that you each have a set of these divining disks, I want you to practice using them. They are tokens that will tell you the future, if you can See. Spread them all face down on the table. As you swirl them around clockwise, think of a question. When you feel the time is right, pick one. It will tell you the outcome of the question. Try this for a few questions.
Time is up, now. Take one of these pouches and store your tokens in them. Your homework is to continue keeping a dream diary. We will be doing dream interpretation in the future...

Now that you have learned how to write in runic, I think that it is time for you to learn to what certain runes mean. Please take out a quill and copy down this sign:
Man or Mannaz
The Self
Modesty, Thought, Alturism, Trust
If someone draws this rune, it means that they need to know their self more. They need to stop and reflect. Also, it may mean that they need to trust more and be more modest.
I think that we will just start with one today so that I can explain it.
First, the names. One name is the Elder Futhark Name and the other is a newer name. On this one, Man is the Elder Futhark Name and Mannaz is the newer name. It is handy to know both names.
Second, this is the rune summed up into one or two words.
Next, I expanded on the main meaning.
Last, this is what I think it would mean if I drew this rune for someone. You'll learn how to do that later. It would mean the same thing if you drew the rune for yourself, but then you would know exactly where it applied to.
I want you to memorize this rune, because I will be giving you at least one more next class. Homework is to memorize Mannaz. Class is dismissed.

For next part of your werewolf education I ask you to study the Wolf's Bane Potion. This potion is highly complex, and very
difficult to make. It is, however, worth the effort, for it causes the human to turn into a common wolf, not dangerous to anyone. The many ingredient is wolf's bane, as shown on the right. Wolf's bane is extremely poisonous on it's own.
Said to taste bitter, the Wolf's Bane Potion must be drunk a few days before the full moon, during the full moon and a few days afterwards.
Sugar makes it entirely useless.
It was invented by Mr. Damocles Belby, who's nephew Marcus currently attends school here.
I have here a few samples of the plant courtesy of Professor Sprout, which I will pass around. Study the plant and especially the flower. After you are done, pass it on. Once everyone has seen it, I want you to get into groups and draw a diagram of the whole plant.
That is the bell I hear, so please put away your quills. Your homework is to research the Wolf's Bane Potion and find out as many more of the ingredients as you can. 10 house points to the person who finds the most!

What you are about to learn is not telling the future but learning how to tackle choices that may come your way. First, I want you to remember your personal number. Got that? Good. Now the first choice we are going to come up against will be something small and rather insignificant. How about what colour you should wear tomorrow? Nice and minor. Now write out tomorrow's date: 11/5/2008
First, reduce all of the numbers: 1+1/5/2+0+0+8 = 2/5/1
Next, add all of the reduced numbers: 2+5+1= 8
So, tomorrow's personal number is 8. Now, add tomorrow's number with your number. For me, that would be: 8+8=16 1+6=7
So for me, tomorrow is a 7 day.
Now you need a list of colors and their numbers.
Here is one:
1 Pink, Brass, Dark Purple
2 Copper, crimson
3 Orange, Gray
4 Yellow, Black, White, Gold
5 Purple, Magenta
6 Metallic
7 Navy, Tan, Plum
8 Green, Blue, Silver
9 Red, Brown
I must admit that I had some trouble finding colours for some numbers.
Compare numbers between colours and what number tomorrow will be for you. Choose which colour you would want to wear the most out of your options.
Just as an exersise for you brain, figure out today's number and what colour you should be wearing. See if you are wearing that colour.
It is time for you to go. Please pack up. Your homework is to think of a decision that is in your future. Use arithmancy to decide. Class is dimissed

Please take out your homework, I will be coming around to collect it.
Good, I'm glad you all turned in something. I hope that you find that it is becoming easier to read and write runic.
Again, I want you to get out your sheet and write again. This time you will be writing using the first and second row. Start with your sheet at first, then try to do it without. Once you have had some general practice, write a note to someone in this classroom. Don't make it too long, just a few sentences.
Now I would like you to look up here. Please get out a fresh piece of parchment and translate the scroll that I will place on your desk. I did write it in a way that makes more sense than last time, but it doesn't really make much sense. Once you have translated your scroll, translate any notes you recieved, but don't write a reply.
Your half hour is up. Please look up here. When I say you are dismissed, pack up. But before you do, I want you to note that your Homework is to try to write out all of the alphabet that we have learned so far without looking at your sheet. Don't even look at your sheet to see if you got it right. I want you to turn in your first attempt, uncorrected. Class is dismissed.

Today we will be continuing our study of vamipres with a lesson on methods of preventing vampires. While it is impossible to reverse vampirism, it is possible to prevent contamination from a vampire bite. As you will find in your Fiendish Field Guide
"Complex diabolic pacts and certain obscure black magic rites have been known to create vampires; evil sorcerers and some lycanthropes that have died may rise again to become vampires; extremely evil men (or women) who die while committing an evil act may return as vampires. The most common and sure-fire method of becoming a vampire is to die from a vampire bite. The sanguinary bite (or "kiss") of a vampire is its method of perpetuating its breed, and those rising from the dead to become vampires are subject to the will of the vampire that originally bit him/her. The bite of the vampire is usually detected as two small but swollen puncture wounds; often referred to as "the Seal of Dracula"."
While not entirely accurate in the habits of the vampire, the Fiendish Field Guide is correct in this respect. The simplest way to prevent someone to become a vampire is to keep them alive after they have been bitten. As vampires are 'living dead', if someone doesn't die, they obviously cannot become a vampire. Many potions are useful, such as the Draught of Living Death, which will suspend the process of death by vampire bite. Wolfsbane potion is also useful in preventing syptoms appearing.
Homework: Explain in your own words why a person does not always become a vampire even if they are bitten.

Hello, my dears... If you will recall, we where working on learning certain key signs. While I do find memorization a bore, and I am sure that you do agree, it is quite nessecary. If, say, you suddenly saw a flag in the bottom of your tea, then you will wish to know immediately whether this is good or bad. In fact, you should know then that you are in grave danger.
Please take out a quill and write out what you think each one means.
The Arrow
The Coin
The Circle
The Owl
The Triangle
I will take your scrolls of the class. Please get out a new piece of parchment and copy down these signs:
The Book-Learning
The Cat-Treachery
The Fish-News from Abroad
The Sun-Continued Happiness
The Wings-News
The Cross-Trouble on the Way
I did not have you research them, because I wanted to have you practice your tea leaf reading. When you put your scrolls away, please take a cup from the shelf and pour yourself a cup of tea. You should remember how it is done... the three swirls with your left hand... the three taps...
If any of your signs in your cup are ones that we have studied, try to remember them before looking them up. You have half an hour...
Half an hour is up. Please return cups gently to the sink over there. You have no homework other than to memorize your signs. Until next time...

Today we will be resuming turning needles to matches. If someone would please step up and hand out needles... Thank you. You should remember your spell. I will give you ten minutes to practice, and then anyone who has succeeded will then try turning their match back to a needle.
If everyone would please look up here... Thank you. Now below is the diagram for turning your match into a needle. The spell is scipioacus. When you have succeed in transfiguring a match, try to turn it back into a needle.
The bell has rung, so if everyone would look up here I will tell you your Homework. You are to practice turning your match to a needle and back again. That is all. You are dismissed.
