Who: Terry Boot and Michelle Campbell
What: Studying History of Magic
When: Spring 1997, before Michelle's O.W.L.s (BACKSTORY)
Where: Hogwarts Library
Rating: G, I'd expect
While, theoretically, the things that they studied in History of Magic were interesting, the method of teaching was poor enough that Michelle struggled to stay awake in class, much less actually learn anything. Somehow she'd managed to go five years without really learning that much at all, which was a problem, as in a few short weeks the O.W.L.s were coming up. So she'd started spending long evenings in the library, studying with friends when she could, and alone when she couldn't.
This particular evening she had run into some Ravenclaw classmates, who were being assisted by Terry Boot, a sixth year that seemed to not only know the material, but enjoy it as well. It was a concept slightly foreign to Michelle, but she accepted it openly, as it meant a shot at a decent grade in the class.
"So the difference between the goblin rebellions in the seventeeth and eighteenth centuries were what exactly?" she asked, looking a bit hopeless. "And who names these goblins, anyways? 'Urg the Unclean'? Really? Did they change his name when he took a bath?"
