[[Wasn't sure where else to make this, figured that this was the most, erm, variatable or whatever you wanna call it of all of the boards. HAVE AT IT, FOLKS!]]
With a loud, somewhat disgusting thud, Troy landed smack dab in the middle of Godric's Hollow. He fell forward and slammed his face on the grass snow surrounding the village square. Well, thank god it wasn't the cement. Sitting up, he spit a couple of wads of snow and dirt and other oddities from his mouth and looked at the surrounding students. Oh shit. He was a fully grown wizard and he still hadn't mastered damn Portkey travelling? Unaware of the rather large clump of grass-snow-dirt combination stuck in his obnoxious mane of hair, he said to the kiddos, "Meant to do that, you see! In order to direct your attention to this, erm ... lovely grass!" His fingers ripped up a couple of blades and waved them in front of their eyes. "Been walked on by plenty of important people, yeah? ANYWAY MOVING ON!" He bounced up, still not noticing the nasty crap in his hair.
The Hufflepuff marched in front of the group, acting as a touring instructor. Hell, he even conjured up one of those nifty safari hats ... because that totally fit the mood. "Many famous people have lived here, yooo ... Of course, it was founded by Godric Gryffindor, who, although he wasn't no Helga Hufflepuff, was pretty damn awesome. This means that it's over a thousand years old!" He paused in order to give his students a chance to gasp at this information. "Let's seeeeeeee ... people like Bathilda Bagshot, author of A History of Magic, the Potter family, and the Dumbledore family have lived here, and some of them are even buried right in that very graveyard!" Troy pointed towards the gate to the graveyard. "Gellert Grindelwald also stayed her for a couple of months, who you kiddos may know as that evil guy in Germany or something. Dumbledore took him down, no worries," he added to a couple of first years who seemed to be shivering from something other than the cold.
His conscience was gonna have Troy wait until later, but eh, she was kinda tired and she wanted to get this over with, so she had Troy direct them in the, erm, direction of the graveyard now. As they traipsed through the snow, he continued to talk, "Godric's Hollow is also known as the site of Voldy's first downfall, yooo. You may notice the commerative statue in the middle of the square, right thurrrr," he said, pointing to a large statue in the middle of the square. It depicted a father, a mother, and a young son. Not waiting long enough for the kids to get a better look, Troy said, "Aaaaand, kids, this here is the graveyard! You'll probably see many a grave that belongs to a famous witch or wizard, sooo, just go searching, all right? You can go look at the houses and stuff, just don't break into them unless you plan on stealing me some food." His stomach gave an irritated rumble as he leaned against the gate.
[[ASSIGNMENT! Nothingzzz. Just post around explorin' and whatnizzot. Do whatever. BUT MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FUN YAY!!!]]

Sophia looked about her as she landed gracefully on her feet, as she had finally mastered to do. She noticed that they were in Godric's Hollow, where she had in fact posted last lesson but then was informed that the lesson was being moved to the ministry where .. well, there really wasn't a lesson besides her asking a question to an invisible person who never answered. Anyway, Sophia's conscience was mighty mighty bitter about lesson three as well as mighty bitter about what this lesson actually was. The real Sophia rolled her eyes, looking at Troy as he landed face first on the ground. Of course, always making one of his 'grand' entrances, or so he would probably call them. Why was he such a damn clutz? That was Gryffindor domain man. Grow some Huffie ballzzzz.
Sophia rummaged through her bag momentarily as she listened to Troy, thinking she had heard a mistake in his lesson. Hmph, well this could be quite awesome, if I do so say myself. Sophia finally found her parchment-book (instead of notebook, ha see?) and searched through it for her History of Magic notes she had taken on her own in the library. Which she often did, don't judge if you don't know her, foolz! Soooo back on topic, Sophia glanced down at her notes momentarily. How could Godric Gryffindor found the place in which he was born? She scratched the top of her head wonderingly and clucked with her tongue annoyingly, almost hoping to get Troy's attention in the middle of her lesson. She snapped the book shut in a matter-of-fact way and then turned her green eyes up to Troy as she pulled her bag, book enclosed inside, back over her shoulder.
Sophia pushed a few strands of her chocolate brown hair behind her left ear as she followed Troy and the rest of the class, she had become accustomed to being a part of, over to the graveyard. She scanned the graves momentarily, catching a few names, but of course she'd been here several times in her life. Including last lesson, technically. Sophia let a little air purse through her lips before turning to look at the statues he indicated, rolling her eyes. As he let the class go to do their own thing and get some explorin' done, Sophia walked up behind him and poked him several times on the shoulder annoyingly as she waited for him to turn, a small, somewhat mischievous, smile on her face.
"Oh Troy, I do have a question for you." She spoke sharply in that harsh British accent of hers.

Thankfully, Troy had mad mind-reading skillz, so he read Soapie's mind. "Weeeeellll, he didn't exactly FOUND it, per say, but you know the gist of it. It's called Godric's Hollow because of him, so it's basically like he found it, yeah? Yeah. Aaaaaand yes, Soapie, what question do you have?" His conscience, Salina, silently wondered how in the world she could have a British accent when, in fact, they were in Britain. But let by-gones be by-gones! ... Whatever that means.

Lexi landed with a splat in the snow, her feet giving way on the icy ground. Even if she'd been able to land properly on her feet after that portkey trip she'd have no chance of remaining standing in these weather conditions. The white snow everywhere made things look rather pretty but it was damn cold and Lexi did not appreciate having suddenly sat in it, not nice.
She stood up and brushed the snow from herself, thankful that she had worn a long coat that reached past her knees otherwise it may have looked as if she'd had rather an embarassing accident. It was only when she was done iping the snow from her coat and trying to once again warm her gloveless fingers that she really looked around and wondered where on earth they were.
She as pleased to see that she was not the only one to fall down seeing as Troy their Professor did much the same, only in far more spectacular fashion than Lexi had done, he actually managed to plant his entire face in the snow. Lexi suppressed her laughter as he straightened himself up and proceeded to begin the lecture part of the lesson.
Ahh so they were in Godoric's Hollow, well that at least answered that question. Lexi listened with far interest as Troy spoke, there had actually been some very interesting things happen and people live in this place, not least death of the Potters which of course was what it was best known for. Interest sparked Lexi decided to have a little wander around and see just what she could find in that place.

Sophia let her emerald green eyes scan Troy's face momentarily, kind of pissed off that he had done that completely on purpose. "See, correcting you was actually what I planned to do. Until you used your powerplaying mind reading skills to see what I was thinking and correct yourself before a student could show you up. Grow up, Professor Novus." Sophia huffed, walking away angrily, tossing her brown hair back behind her shoulder as she made her way over to the conserved house where Lily and James Potter had given their lives to save their young son. She looked at the plaque that was in front of it, telling a short story of the death of the two young adults. A small smile crossed her face as she'd realized how far the wizarding world had come since then.

Christina landed at 'Godric's Hollow with a nice clean landing and looked around. This was a little scary she thought as she looked around at the cementary. They were near a cementary filled with dead bodies and rotting corpse it was really spooky. She listened and couldnt' help but chuckle as Troy who had laded with is face in the snow said he meant to do that. Then she listened as he started to explain about 'Godric's Hollow' and all the people who were burried here. Christina got nervous and went up close to the professor Troy who was wearing a neat safari hat she hoped she wouldn't mind if she stood close to him while near the graveyard. She couldn't help but hear when Troy's stomach rumbled. "Why don't you have a couple of those fabolous turkey drumsticks I got from the 'House Elves' for you, your belly is really loud." She said with a concerned look after she had listened to him explain their lesson. She liked to give out gifts to all her teachers and she had a cool one for Troy. She handed him a card explaining that inside the card was a gift promise for him that she would buy. (click the card to be transported to where we can roleplay my buying your gift fo you.) "Here you go Troy, Merry Christmas here is a card inside the card I wrote down a present for you." She said as she handed him the card with a nice big smile. When she saw him open it and look at it she said. "See it's a Magical Christmas Card inside is a magical Christmas gift for you." Merry Christmas To Troy I give you a gift of buying you a new magical creature at a pet store. (we can roleplay it out together the buying it at the pet store) Love always your student, Christina She then watched as her best friend Sophia came up to professor Troy and seem to agrue about something but she decided to stay out of it as it looked personal. She went over to her Ravenclaw friend Lexi and asked if this lesson she could join her in exploring. She explained how it looked like Sophia and Troy had some personal issues to get through so she wanted to let them do that on their own and stay neutral on this one. "Hey Lexi mind if I join you in this lesson when exploring 'Godric's Hollow." "Normally I would probably be following my best friend Sophia but she and Troy seem to have some personal things they need to discuss in private." She said in a kind hoping smile directed at Lexi. Christina liked her friend Sophia a lot but this seemed like a really big private issue and her mom always said that sometimes its just best to stay out of other peoples business. Besides Troy and Sophia looked kind of scary when they got to arguing between themselves. She wished they could both just be nice to each other and get along.

GODRIC'S HALLOW WOOOO KICKBUTT! Daddy and Soapie and somegirlshedidn'tknow and her bffz Christina were there already, sweet. Since Lily loved her daddy very much and every word that came out of his mouth was wise as lions' tails, she listened to every word that came out of his mouth ... and adored it. Adored it. EXPLORING? Why, that was Lily's third middle name! She gave her daddy a quick, python-like hug and then immediately ran oooff to start exploring. Graveyards were icky and scary and stuff, so Lily first went to the houses. Since she fully planned on getting her daddy something deliciouso to eat, she figured she had full permission to break into any house she pleased. SO SHE DID! Only it was a lot harder than she thought it would be because of stupid troll-loving locks. BUT THIS JUST MADE HER WANT IT MORE! Because, really, why would a person lock their door unless they had something horribly horrible to hide? NO REASON, THAT'S WHY! So, summoning all of her Alaskan and Gryffindor strength (which was quite a lot, actually) Lily FALCON PUUUUUUNCH!'d the lock aaaand ... HURRAH! It broke off and fell to the floor. ... AND THERE WERE GHOSTS AND STUFF IN THERE o0o0o0o0o0o0! LILY SCREAAAAMED AND RAN AWAY, THEN CLUNG TO HER DADDY'S LEG AND SAID "GODRIC'S HALLOW IS SCAAAARY, DADDY," AND THEN SHE ENDED THE POST.

Lexi was peering through the gate that led into the graveyard thinking about going in for a little explore as there were supposed to be some interesting graves in there, or so Troy had said anyway. It was then that she heard a voice from behind her, the younger Hufflepuff girl she'd seen in most of her classes whose name was lodged in the back of her mind somewhere just out of Lexi's reach. Damn she was so bad with names! It was a wonder she could ever remember anything much really her memory was so bad.
But so as not to be rude Lexi grinned and nodded, she'd definately like someone to go exploring with. "Yeah sure." She replied in her thick Scottish accent. "I'd like to have someone to look around with, was going to have a wander round the graveyard first if you want to." She said hoping that she would not refuse. Lexi was sure that the name would come to her eventually, it began with a C she as sure...

It was a cold December day and the class was visiting 'Godric's Hollow' there was snow on the ground and lots of graves and spooky looking houses. She was following her friend Lexi who went through a gate leading into the graveyard when she heard Lexi say she would love to have someone to explore with. So she followed Lexie into the graveyard area and started to look at all the graves.
The first grave Christina saw was one labeled Ignotus Peverell written on a small plaque says he was one of the three brothers of Deathly Hallows lore, is buried here and passed his Cloak of Invisibility down through his descendents in the village, leading later wizards to come visit in search of his Hallow. Wow a "Cloak of Invisibility' sure would be nice, there are a lot of uses she could think of for one of those such as sneaking around after curfew at Hogwarts.
Next she saw the grave of one Bowman Wright and it said on a plaque that he invented the 'Golden Snitch' in the 1300s. She would have to tell her boyfirend Sirius about that he loves Quidditch.

Lexi pushed open the creaky old iron gate and wandered into the graveyard with Christina. She began to wander though the rows and rows of headstones, noting various names on them that she recognised for various reasons until she noticed one that she thought Christina may well be interested in.
"Hey Christina look at this one, their surname is Abbot too! Some relation of yours do you think?" Lexi asked, looking down at the headstone. "Oh, and that burnt out old house over there, d'you think that's the Potters house?"

"ONE!" Adelaide screamed as soon as her feet hit the ground, flailing about in an attempt not to crash into the ground on her arrival. Unfortunately, all of her attempts were futile, ending with her stumbling backwards onto the ground. She rolled back and ended up facefirst on the ground. Grumbling about how Troy's sense of timing was made of fail and her new dislike for portkeys, Adelaide pulled herself up. Disheartened, she wiped the snow off her person. That had gone much worse than she expected. Now, she was cold and in a place she didn't really know the importance of. Pouting pathetically, Adelaide followed Troy with the rest of the class, absorbing all the infortmation he spewed from his facehole. At the news of it being the sight of Voldemort's first downfall, Adelaide nodded to herself. "So, that's why it's important!" A semi-loud whisper left her mouth, almost in a eureka-like fashion.
Adelaide wandered about the square when Troy set the class loose, not really knowing where to explore first. She had been making her way toward the graveyard, albeit quite slowly. Glancing around, Adelaide stopped dead in her track at the sight of a girl punching the lock off of a door. "DUDEBRO, NICE FALCON PUNCH!" She called to the form retreating into the house, not minding that her screams filled the entire square. That was just too impressive not to comment on. Adelaide could never do that. That girl was just a beast.
With remnants of the mind-blowing falcon punch still fresh in her mind, the little girl skipped into the graveyard, exmaning various headstones. She was pretty much dancing through the graveyard, when two particular headstones stopped her. Man, she had a horrible attention span. Adelaide read the headstones, discovering they belonged to James and Lily Potter. Gazing down upon them, Adelaide began to sniffle pathetically. The story was just so darn sad! She kept looking from the headstones to the statue in the middle of the square, her bottom lip jutting out more with each look. Oh, God. She promised herself she wouldn't cry.

Devin admitted an odd mix of sounds as well as a few choice words when she landed straight on her arse. Instantly the cold enclosed on her and silly her for not remembering the string of field trips probably meant more field trips. And she wore only her Hufflepuff robes. Straightening up she brushed herself off and noticed that the professor was in the same situation. Upon following him as he gave the tour her eyes scanned the many sights. She took in the scene of the statue and tilted her head to the side. She had heard of this history and felt bad. A frown crossed the Hufflepuff's lips as she saw a family torn in half by a bad man.
This town seemed to be bathed in sadness. They even had a graveyard. As her eyes spotted the graveyard she let out a soft sigh. Once the crowd has dis banned, or class per say Devin made her own way to the graveyard. She glanced through the titles and moved deeper within the graveyard. It seemed to only get creepier the farther she moved in. Graveyards had that effect. She shuttered and pulled her robes closer to herself. Her eyes gazed over the many graves spotting a few familiar names.
It was then that she decided to get away from the more depressing side of the town. Turning around she shivered feeling a cold feeling wash over her. If this had been Halloween she wouldn't have even stepped in there. Certainly on the most active night of the year. Quickly making her leave she bit her lip and left the area almost at a run. Instantly letting out a deep breath as the puff of air left her lips and went into the air. Going over to the post office she glanced in before closing the door behind her. A simple unlocking charm came in handle.
Going to the back she smiled before diving into the carts full of mail. Sometimes it was good to go in from the cold and get some warmth.

It was a cold December day and the class was visiting 'Godric's Hollow' there was snow on the ground and lots of graves and spooky looking houses. Christina was following her friend Lexi around in the grave yard when she heard Lexi mention one that had the surname Abbot and if it was relations of hers. She walked over to where Lexi was standing next to the gravestones and looked them over.
"Yes they appear to be my families gravestones, there is my dads Henry Abbot and my moms Alisha Abbot, my mom just recently died." "If you didn't know she recently died I saw her last moments alive in a vision she had sent me when I was at the 'The Lake' during a Defense Against the Dark Arts Class asignment. I saw her fighting Dementor's and then they killed her and she was gone."
She said as she started to cry then she fell to her knees in front of her parents headstones and started weeping.
"I never even had anyone ask if I had wanted a funeral....I guess its cause i'm an orphan now and they couldn't find any living realitives so I guess they just buried them and nothing else."
She cried and cried on her knees .
"Please someone bring my parents back to me.....Sophia help where are you Sophia ..........I can't handle this......."
She just kept crying and sobbing as she kneeled there over her parents graves. Her moms was recently made as her mom had died during the month of November and her dad well he died when she was 8.

Lexi'd had no idea that Christina had recently lost her mother and in such a violent and unplesant way, it made Lexi feel a little sad too. She knew what it was like to lose your mother but was thankful that she still had her father back home, she really couldn't imagine what it must be like for he poor young hufflepuff girl to suddenly be an orphan.
"You didn't get to go to the..." Lexi shook her head as Christina mentioned her mothers funeral. "That's awful I'm so sorry, maybe we shouldn't have come in here." She said a little unsure of what to do, comforting crying people was not something she was used to doing. She wanted to help her friend but was stumped so dd the only thing that came to mind and bent down to give the girl a hug. "It'll be okay."

Leilani arrived at the Godric's Hollow, and was really really hyper. That wasn't unusual, so she began hopping around, and eventually made her way over to that Lily kid. She was her exact age, minus or plus a few months, but still, one of the only first years she knew. But Lily was just like, GHOST BUSTERS. And to be honest, Leilani wanted no part of that witchcraftery. EVIL STUFF DUDE. So then she went over to the big statue in the middle of the road. It was actually quite pretty, and it kept changing from Harry Potter to a war thing. Leilani thought that was pretty fraeking amazing. "UHHHH, LILY AND SIRIUS'S -- OH, ALMOST FORGOT REMUS'S, DADDY? HOW DOEs THIS HAPPEN?" She said, bouncing up and down, her paw raised in the air. What an exciting trip.
