October: COMC

Beasts: A creature that is magical but isn’t smart enough to understand laws that the magical world has, so it can’t help create these laws. 
Favourite Beast: Centaur. They are strong and protective and are also really good at Divination. They’re very proud creatures too.. and very loyal to other centaurs. They also really value nature. I really identify with this idea of being proud of my family and willing to stand up and fight for them, so that’s why I chose them as my favourite creature. 


Beings: A creature that is magical and that lives in the world of wizards and witches. They are smart enough to understand magical laws, and they try really hard to help create them. 

Favourite Being: House Elves. These beings help to serve witches and wizards and they are also really loyal to the family that owns them. The whole slave thing is wrong, but they do their best at working hard and serving others. I chose this being because they’re super loyal and also I like that their whole mission in live is to serve others. I think that’s something we should all try to do! 


Spirits: Creatures that have existed in the past but now have died and are still roaming around the earth. 

Favourite Spirit: animal ghosts… They’re so cool looking and they are the spirit of an animal that has past on. They have some sort of magical abilities probably, but no one really knows for sure. I just like the idea that if my pet passes on, they could still be with me in some form. That’s why I chose this to be my favourite Spirit.

Defence Against the Dark Arts - Practicing Riddikulus

Image
Before class, I found Shaun (a sixth year Gryffindor) and a fourth year Ravenclaw talking in the staircase. We were talking about previous Dark Arts classes, and how we never really knew what to expect. When it was time to get to class, Shaun and I realized that we didn't have our hats or our robes, so we ran up to the seventh floor, headed to our dorms and got what we needed, then raced to the third floor and up the Dark Arts tower. We arrived just on time and were quite proud of ourselves as the door locked behind us.  Tonight, we were told that we would be practicing the Riddikulus charm. This was a charm that would be used against boggarts. I was a little nervous, but joined the line on the left side of the room, my wand held out. I knew the wand movement and the effect it was supposed to have, but I hadn't practiced it ever, and knew that it was a third level spell. But I would do my best and practice like everyone else.  After we practiced the wand movement on our own, we

September: Potions

Write a Letter to Professor Bennet...  Dear Professor Bennett, My name is Ben Coletti. I am eleven years old and have been sorted into Gryffindor House. My father is an Auror at the Ministry of Magic and my mother is a Healer at St. Mungo’s. My parents also just had a baby girl three months ago and her name is Hannah. I’m really protective of her!   I am both nervous and excited about taking Potions. I have heard a lot about the healing potions from my mother, as she uses them a lot of course, and my father has used some for his work as well. But I myself have never made any of course. I have just watched them working and been curious as to where they get the ingredients and how they make them. That is really all that I know about Potions. I just hope I don’t blow things up or make a mess… I have a tendency to um… cause accidents.   This year I hope to learn the basics of the subject, including where and how to get ingredients. I want to learn healing potions so that maybe I can help m

October: Muggle Studies

Dear Professor Fenwick,   Today's lesson was somewhat difficult for me. My family is something of a tricky subject and I really struggle with talking about it… But we’ll start with the easy questions first, I guess.   I believe a muggle is someone that doesn’t have any magical abilities at all. As far as the theory of creation of magic, I haven’t really thought about it much. But now that I’m thinking about it more, I believe that there has always been magic in the world, but that it hasn’t always been known. Someone maybe preserved it for years and years and they hid in small areas, like the witches in Salem, and then maybe eventually they realized there were other people like them and that maybe they created their own world like places in Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley, then schools popped up all around the world.   My family tree is mostly pure-bloods. There are a few half-bloods and such but… mostly it is a bit complicated. There have been some people that have married Muggles and
