I'VE BEEN SEVERELY SLACKING IN ASSIGNING HOMEWORK AND FOR THAT I APOLOGIZE, NOT THAT MAY OF YOU HAVE REALLY MINDED. SO!

THIS ASSIGNMENT WILL SPAN ALL YEARS AND ALL HOUSES. I WANT YOU ALL TO TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR OWN FAMILY HISTORY AND TRACK DOWN THE FIRST TRACES OF MAGIC IN YOUR FAMILY. FROM THAT I WANT YOU TO MAKE A FAMILY TREE THAT STRETCHES DOWN FROM THEM TO YOU. I'M AWARE THAT THERE ARE AN AWFUL LOT OF SIBLINGS AND COUSINS AND OTHER RELATIONS HERE AT HOGWARTS SO DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP FROM ONE ANOTHER WHEN FILLING IN GAPS. THE SAME GOES FOR FAMILY NOT AT SCHOOL. WRITE HOME, ASK QUESTIONS, ASK FOR FAMILY HEIRLOOMS OR PAPERS YOU CAN STUDY.

FOR STUDENTS WITH A HEAVY MAGICAL LINEAGE, DON'T FORGET TO INCLUDE NON-MAGICAL RELATIVES AND THOSE WITHOUT A LONG HISTORY OF MAGIC IN THEIR FAMILY, DO A BIT OF SEARCHING. YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE YOU MIGHT FIND A GREAT-UNCLE TWICE REMOVED WHO HAD A HABIT OF TURNING TAX COLLECTORS INTO NEWTS.

ONCE ALL IS SAID AND DONE YOU'LL PRESENT YOUR FINDINGS IN FRONT OF THE CLASS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK HERE OR IN PERSON. MY DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN.

[Added later:]

SINCE I'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF THESE QUESTIONS I FEEL LIKE IT'LL BE EASIER TO JUST LEAVE THE ANSWERS HERE.

1. PRESENTATION TO THE CLASS IS NOT MANDATORY IF YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT. I'M OT GOING TO FORCE ANYONE INTO PUBLIC SPEAKING AND IT WILL NOT EFFECT YOUR GRADE.

2. STUDENTS WHO WERE ADOPTED MAY DO THEIR TREES BASED ON THEIR ADOPTIVE FAMILIES. FAMILY DOESN'T END WITH BLOOD AFTER ALL.

3. MUGGLEBORN STUDENTS SHOULD DO THE ASSIGNMENT AS NORMAL, JUST KEEP A LOOK OUT IN YOUR RESEARCH FOR ANY POSSIBLE MAGICAL RELATIVES.

I KNOW IT'S DIFFICULT, 'TU, BUT AT LEAST GIVE IT A TRY. IF YOU CAN'T DO IT, THAT'S PERFECTLY ALRIGHT. I WON'T FORCE YOU OR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T WANT TO SPEAK IN FRONT OF THE CLASS TO DO IT.

'Great uncle twice removed who had a habit of turning tax collectors into newts'.

...Professor, do you know my great uncle?

Edited 2012-11-09 19:50 (UTC)

I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A JOKE BUT YOUR GREAT-UNCLE HAS ACTUALLY TURNED TAX COLLECTORS INTO NEWTS?

Um, I don't think it would be very wise for me to make an actual presentation considering how I was born in 1817. That would kinda be giving myself away you know?
Unless you want me to severely forward date things so that it at least looks normal?
...and that's if I can even find anything at all. I'd probably have to write to the Records department in Lancashire and get copies of things that are that old.

OH.
I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO ACCOUNT FOR VAMPIRE STUDENTS WITH THIS ASSIGNMENT, I'M SO SORRY. IF YOU'D PREFER I CAN GIVE YOU A PASS ON THIS PROJECT CONSIDERING THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

What if your parents won't tell you anything? ...The last time I tried to ask them about my relatives they got really cagey.

AH, UNCOOPERATIVE PARENTS CAN BE A PROBLEM. TRY SENDING THEM AN OWL ABOUT IT, LET THEM KNOW IT'S FOR A CLASS ASSIGNMENT. IF THEY'RE STILL NOT COOPERATIVE COME TO ME AND I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.

what no! no no! presenting in front of the class is like a super cruel and unusual punishment!!! i totally refuse!

IF YOU DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE SPEAKING IN FRONT OF THE CLASS, I WON'T FORCE YOU. JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAND IN THE ASSIGNMENT ON TIME AND SHOW UP FOR CLASS ON PRESENTATION DAYS.

Not everyone is as easily accepting of changes in their family structures as you and Deirdre are, Salvatore, and it would do the both of you well to keep that in mind.

Feferi has only just had the dust settle from having a surprise elder brother sprung upon her. Given the circumstances, would it be possible for her to have the option to present things to you privately, should something come up that she's uncomfortable with talking about in front of the class come up in their research?

ABSOLUTELY, CONSTANCE. I'D NEVER FORCE A STUDENT TO STAND IN FRONT OF THE CLASS TO PRESENT SOMETHING IF THEY'RE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT.

I'VE ALREADY GIVEN MITUNA AND FELIKS PASSES ON PRESENTING TO THE CLASS. I HAVE NO PROBLEM EXTENDING IT TO FEFERI AS WELL IF THAT'S WHAT SHE WANTS.

This assignment came along at the right time, Professor. Marshall and I were just wondering the other day if we were related in any way.

WONDERFUL! YOU TWO CAN COLLABORATE ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENTS AND TRY TO FIND ANY CONNECTING THREADS IN YOUR FAMILY LINES.
