History Club

I noticed in that post of his that Mr Black (the good one, I mean, not the awful one) was reading a book about Salazar Slytherin, so I went and looked in the library and Madam Pince has a copy. She also had something called Lives of the Founders and a really nift illustrated book about the duel between Slytherin and Gryffindor. So I've got those for us tonight.

Also Professor Binns mentioned Odric the Odious, and it turns out he was one of the first professors who came to teach after Slytherin left. There's no book about him, but there are a few places where he's mentioned in Hogwarts, A History and also in Great Wizards of the Dark Ages. Since Professor Binns is still telling us about the Dark Ages, it ought to be useful. Has anyone else noticed that the older the history he's telling, the more likely the books are to agree with him?

Oh, and Finnigan, will you bring that book you said you had about Cnut's court wizard? It sounded like there was a whole section on Hogwarts in there, too.

(Has anyone started practising their wand positions for duelling yet? I've been reading up on it in the library.)

Oh! Is the Salazar book still there, or have you taken it out? If you have, I'd like it after you're done.

I checked it out for History club, but if you like you could look at it afterward. If you promise to take it back to Madam Pince and check it out in your own name, that'd be okay, too.

[alt_pansy]

I can do that. Thanks.

[alt_seamus]

Yeah I can bring it. No problem.

I tried some of the wand positions but Ron said I looked like a constipated monkey trying to conduct an orcestra. And unfortunately I think he was right. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

[alt_seamus]

And I don't know where Ron ever saw an orcestra OR a constipated monkey but seriously. I really did.

[alt_ron]

Yeah, you really did, mate.

And yeah, I haven't really seen an orchestra, but as for the other, let's just say that I have a fair idea what that would look like after growing up around Percy. Know what I mean?
