[H1][Color=E8F1D4]THE FORGOTTEN CLASSROOM[/Color][/H1]

[Indent][Color=BBFFFF]The mysteries of death have long been studied by the most intelligent of wizard scholars , to no avail. In the macabre topic of death, wizards look to Ghoul Studies in attempt to better understand something that has baffled magical and muggle societies alike. By studying, Ghoul Studies, we can better understand not only ghouls and ghosts, but death itself. 

   Through the understanding of creatures of the postmortem, one can understand how death works, and the connections between life and death, and the possibilities of a realm that dwells between the two.  Over the years, ghosts have begun  to merge into magical society. Some ghostly figures have actually contributed to the wizarding world, an example being Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's former History of Magic professor, Cuthbert Finns.[/Color][/Indent]


You have for your own reasons chosen to attend a class that won't count on your final grade because like Quidditch it's an Extra Circular. 

The Class takes place an Two hours after dark three nights a week with special weekend classes known to last as long as ten hours and a few times forty-eight. This is because the class must sometimes go deep into the Catacombs of Hogwarts in order to meet some of the more shy Spirits.

[Hider=Ghoul Studies]Deep in the dungeons of Hogwarts is found the Serpentine Hall and the classroom of Ghoul Studies. 

Serpentine Hall not properly part of the Dungeons but the entrance to the Catacombs but by Salazar Slytherin in the tenth century. The hall is home to some of Hogwarts most beautiful stonework and sculpted art. But like many such places it is a facade that hides behind it's beauty many secrets in the Catacombs of Hogwarts.

This lonely hall is the place quoted in the legend of horrors that the older students and siblings use to frighten and astound. It is haunted by ghosts which names are known to only other ghosts and of Course the Professor of Ghoul Studies Miss Oxyntes (Pronounced Ox y nite though some few students call her Miss Night)

The quiet Miss Night is almost never seen above ground in daylight and at night seen more outdoors except on rare occasions at Feasts or important school functions. When she speaks people must strain to hear her but she has demonstrated either an ability or spell that emits a scream equal to a Banshee's which she used to drive back a group of three direwolves that had wandered on campus.

Her quarters are off her classroom and were once an abandoned crypt built for one of the Heirs of Slytherin and are twice as spacious as those of the other professors. (The only draw back is no view.) The Ghoul Studies class is conducted in the catacombs themselves but has as it's actual classroom is a small amphitheater who's lectern sets recessed into a natural half dome of Large crystals. The students desks are spacious and even described as comfy and sit 3-6-12-28 on each level. Four seats are occupied permanently, 2 on the highest level with 1 each on levels 2 an 3. ( 1 Mummy and a Skeleton top level, 1 Ghoul on the third and a former student's ghost on the second level)

The Ghoul Studies class at present has only four registered students. (Aella Arcane 6th year Slytherin. Bella Sinclair 5th year Ravenclaw, 4th year Ravenclaw and Horace Uthur 166th year At Large former Gryffindor 7th year)

Class begins exactly two hours after dark or evening meal in the long nights of winter. Usually Miss Night tells her class the history of the area they'll visit that night or the legends of the ghosts they might encounter. Sometimes though Miss Night's mother and a ghost takes over teaching a portion of the course mother and daughter call practical questions and answers. No one his sure what Miss night does on those night's which she doesn't appear to teach.

Once a month Miss Night locks the students in a catacomb section where Peeves is allowed to play with them anyway he wishes so long as they are not harmed. ( Feel free to try magic on Peeves but be warned that he's resisted many attempts to expel him and a couple of those that tried had to leave the school shortly afterwards.)[/Hider]

Okay so that's a little teaser about the course Now on to the Mechanics

You'll all be new to the class and [U]At Least 4th Year[/U] 

As I said two will be mediums 

[Hider=Mediums]From an Early age you have been able to sense the presence of spirits and when you turn 13 to 15 years old they suddenly took an interest in you.
This is a rare ability and some even call it a curse because of certain effects it has.
>-----------------------------------------------------------------------<
Medium abilities are as follows
[B]Call [/B]Ghosts, Spirits, Poltergeists and other Quasi Dead. Using this ability is both useful and risky because some Non corporeal are dangerous by nature especially to the untrained medium. It's range is dependent on the training and concentration time of the user
[B]Sense[/B] Hidden or dormant Ghosts, Spirits, Poltergeists or Quasi Dead. It's range is dependent on the training and concentration time of the user and it's non descriptive.
[B]Channel[/B] By this means a medium may call spirits that do not exist on this plane. This is also a skill not to be used lightly because it may result in the possession of the medium's body.
[B]Banish[/B] This power is only usable by trained mediums and should not be used lightly
