Hogwarts RP (Special Class)

Well hello to whomever you are, welcome to the Forgotten Class of Hogwarts

I could continue to babble I suppose but thought it would be better to offer this



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.


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 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.

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 built 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 found only 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 little brothers, sisters an the lower years. 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 than in except on rare occasions such as Feasts or important school functions. When she speaks people must strain to hear her but she has demonstrated either an ability or spell. Which requires no wand 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; at least that's the rumor.

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 one student Horace Uthur 166th year At Large former Gryffindor 7th year till he died in Class an never left.

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 a ghost takes over teaching a portion of the course in what the instructor calls 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.)

IN DEPTH INFORMATION

APPEARANCE : 
Tall (5' 9") with what is described as a lithe willowy form Miss Nyte is a striking young Instructor who exudes a cool aura of detachment and causes some to speculate if she is actually human or one of the undead.

Her hair is a glossy black and falls to the center of her back and is simply styled. 

Her eyes are so black that her pupils seem to blend with the iris in a disturbing manner.

She is never seen dressed in any colors except black always looking as if she is going to or coming from a funeral.
PERSONALITY : 
 Acantha is in simple terms spooky many claiming they get a chill whenever she's near, this could be due to the fact that she is always accompanied by a Ghost or just nerves. She's most definitely a night person who's rarely seen out in daylight and when she is she wears dark glasses and a large hat.

Friendly unless angered Acantha can become a powerful foe who's mastery of spirit magic can summon an army of Ghosts to her aid. 

Patient and thoughtful she genuinely enjoys teaching often helping her students in classes outside of her own.
HISTORY : 
Born somewhere in Greece Acantha was what was known as a temple child because her mother was the Last High Priestess of Hecate and her father an unknown wizard. 

Conceived to be her mother's successor Acantha's destiny changed in a senseless attack which left her an Orphan and destroyed the temple she'd called home for her first nine years of life.

Raised by an Aunt who was barely related her she continued her training as a temple Priestess and is considered one of the Wizarding World's experts on Ghosts, Specters, Spirits and Poltergeist because of her association with what was once one of the oldest temples to the Goddess Hecate Mistress of magic, crossroads, moon, ghosts, and necromancy.

She attended Koldovstoretz in Russia where she proved a quick learner but a problem because of her ability to call Ghosts to herself. Still even with all of Acantha's Spectral troubles she graduated in the upper 10% of her class and went on to study Euro-Glyph School of Extraordinary Languages in Paris France.

Also an expert maker of potions it is known by a few that Acantha has discovered a potion to slow aging or that is at least the suspicion which is why her actual age doesn't match her perceived age.

She has written 23 books on the various types of Ghosts, Specters and Poltergeist her most famous "The Fetters that Bind and The Dead have Feelings Too" she has also has written 9 books on deciphering the texts of antiquity.
