Welcome Message: "Dear Students,

Welcome to another enchanting year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! I hope you’ve all had a delightful summer, filled with stargazing and magical adventures. As your Astronomy professor, I am absolutely thrilled to guide you through the celestial wonders that adorn our night skies!

Whether you’re a first-year excitedly peering through your first telescope or an experienced seventh-year eager to dive deeper into the mysteries of the cosmos, there is something for everyone in our starlit exploration. We will journey through constellations, study the phases of the moon, and perhaps even encounter some intriguing magical phenomena along the way!

Remember, the universe is vast, and each lesson is a step toward unlocking its secrets. So, gather your quills and parchment, and let’s make this year as illuminating and unforgettable as the stars above us!"​

Lesson:
"Greetings, young witches and wizards! As the stars twinkle above the serene grounds of Hogwarts, it's time for us to embark on an enchanting journey through our Solar System. Today, we will explore the planets that grace our night sky. Whether you're a budding astronomer or simply intrigued by the celestial wonders, this lesson will illuminate the magic of the planets and their unique characteristics.

1. Mercury
Our first planetary stop is Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun. Known for its swift orbit, it takes just 88 Earth days to complete a revolution. Yet, fear not, as its lack of atmosphere means it's not overly hospitable! With temperatures soaring during the day and plummeting at night, it offers a rather extreme environment—a perfect lesson in resilience!

2. Venus
Next up is Venus, often called Earth's "sister planet" due to their similar size. However, do not be fooled! Venus is shrouded in thick clouds of sulfuric acid, creating an exceptional greenhouse effect. Its surface is hot enough to melt lead, making it a rather unfriendly neighbor!

3. Earth
Our very own planet, Earth, is a magical haven teeming with life. Home to a harmonious balance of water, land, and atmosphere, it's a prime example of how magic and science can coexist. As aspiring witches and wizards, it’s essential to appreciate our extraordinary home and the magical energies that flow through it.

4. Mars
Moving outward, we find Mars, known as the Red Planet for its iron oxide-rich soil. With its towering volcanoes and vast canyons, Mars stirs the imagination of many potion masters and astronomers alike. Recent explorations hint at past water, suggesting that it may have hosted life.

5. Jupiter
Entering the realm of gas giants, we meet Jupiter—the largest planet in our Solar System. With its swirling storms, including the Great Red Spot, it's a constantly changing spectacle. Jupiter's multitude of moons, including the intriguing Europa, could harbor subsurface oceans and perhaps life!

6. Saturn
Next, we arrive at Saturn, famed for its stunning rings made of ice and rock. The majesty of its rings has captivated witches and wizards for centuries. Saturn’s complex system of moons, each with its own mysteries, encourages us to contemplate the wonders of nature.

7. Uranus
Uranus presents a curious case, as it rotates on its side—an axial tilt of about 98 degrees. This unique rotation results in extreme seasons that could last for decades! Its blue-green hue is attributed to the methane in its atmosphere, giving it a tranquil appearance.

8. Neptune
Finally, we reach Neptune, the farthest planet from the Sun. Known for its deep blue color and fierce winds, it is a world of storms and mysteries. It remains a subject of fascination, as scientists continue to uncover the secrets hidden within its clouds."

Longer Version/Sources​

Homework:
Years 1-2 How many planets are in our solar system?
Years 3-5 Choose one planet and write a brief profile that includes its name, basic characteristics (size, color, rings, etc.), and any interesting magical properties it might possess.
Years 6-7 Compile five key terms related to astronomy (like “constellation,” “planet,” “moon phases,” etc.) and write a simple definition for each one.​

Welcome Message: "Dear Students,

Ah, my dear young minds! Welcome, welcome! Gather ‘round, gather ‘round! It is splendid to see so many eager faces ready to dive into the enchanting world of Charms!

As you settle into your seats — yes, the ones that adjust themselves based on your height, a charming little enchantment — I want to set the tone for our journey together. Here in Charms, we’re going to delve into the subtle art of imbuing the mundane with magic. Each flick of the wand and utterance of an incantation holds the potential to transform your world — and, dare I say, the world of those around you.

Now, a few house rules, if you will: First, magic must be wielded with care and responsibility. What you charm, and how you charm it, speaks volumes about you as a young witch or wizard. Secondly, do feel free to share your questions and ideas; curiosity is a wonderful companion in the realm of learning! And lastly, prepare to practice — because in our realm, ‘theory’ only becomes ‘magic’ through action.

So, let’s get started, shall we? Magic awaits!"​

Lesson:

"Welcome, students, to our Charms lesson today. As many of you know, mastering spells requires more than just memorizing incantations and wand movements. The heart of Charms lies in the intention behind the magic. Intention shapes our spellcasting, focusing our will and directing our magical energy toward the desired outcome. Today, we will delve into the concept of intention and discover how it influences the efficacy of our spells.

We will begin our lesson by discussing what intention is in the context of magic. Intention refers to the purpose and determination behind our actions. In magic, it acts as a guiding force, allowing us to connect with our spells on a deeper level. The energy we channel while casting spells can vary based on our intention—whether it is to create, protect, transform, or heal.

I will share examples from various spells where intention plays a pivotal role. For instance, the Patronus Charm, "Expecto Patronum," requires not just a wand movement, but also a strong, positive memory. Without the intention rooted in this memory, the spell may falter, leading to unsatisfactory results.

To prepare our minds for spellcasting, we will engage in a brief meditative exercise. Find a comfortable position, close your eyes, and take a deep breath. Focus on a particular intention—perhaps the desire to deepen your connection with your magic or the wish to succeed in a specific spell. Allow this intention to take root in your mind, visualizing it as a glowing light.

I encourage you to consider how intention can be applied not just in our Charms class, but in all aspects of magical practice. Whether it be potion-making, Divination, or even mundane tasks, the power of intention can guide your actions, enhancing your abilities as a witch or wizard."

Longer Version/Sources​

Homework:
Years 1-2 What is your definition of intention?
Years 3-5 Select one spell that you are familiar with. Write down the following:
- Spell Name and Purpose
- Your usual intention when casting the spell
- Any previous experiences (both successful and unsuccessful)
Years 6-7 Select two spells that you are familiar with. Write down the following for each spell:
- Spell Name and Purpose
- Your usual intention when casting the spell
- Any previous experiences (both successful and unsuccessful)​

Welcome Message: "Dear Students,

Welcome to those who managed to swoop into my class with little problems. As your flying instructors, I expect everyone to have leaping stomachs and adrenaline always pumping-no exceptions! I can't see anyone failing such easy class, even if most of you batches are more of the newer students within Hogwarts' Halls. As we come to settle in, we'll learn the efficiency of having a broomstick by your side. There's basically no cheat sheet to it besides your 'auto-pilot' broom, so good luck!

Now for some rulings, even if you might not quite understand the following-you will in coming of time-; No touching broomsticks while doing training sessions! As much as I would like to see you gripping the wood with ease, the first step in everything is controlling the very fibers of your magical sweeper. Second, if anyone wishes to show off, please note that this is a fair warning. Special tricks are prohibited without reason. Lastly - not listening to me. That just might lead to detention if it goes so far, as I do not take mistakes lightly.

Now enough with all the scary parts of this quest; let's get to flying!"
"​

Lesson:

"Today's lesson - similar to what we will be doing most daily hours - is not getting distracted and instead focusing on the prior subject. Spells require deep thinking, and so does this due to needing to control that broomstick of yours. A clear mind means an easy flight. A angered one might just lead to falling into a bush or out of a tree. I really do not want to see destruction of Hogwarts property.

Further on, what kind of things do we do while airborne? Us fliers keep track of our 'airspace', meaning we do not go anywhere too crowded. With little space, we wouldn't be able to do the expected moves like a loop or two. Skyhigh maneuvers don't also just mean rollercoaster tracks built out for you. No, speed is a core thing. What if I provoke everyone here to do a simple race as an assessment? It's not difficult but not as hard either. Whether you amplify your speed or increase the intelligence of your tricks-you cannot live without the other.

Also, as the professor for air, Quidditch had a requirement of flying. If you can't ace this class, I'm not sure what in life you can! Quidditch is a simple game held against the houses-like a tournament per say. Too much detail of it would lose time, and simply because you all surely heard about it. Besides, first years often don't join, and second years hear about it eventually while watching the matches."

Welcome Message: "Dear Students,

As the air fills with the enchanting scents of fresh earth and blooming flora, I am delighted to welcome you all to another year of learning and discovery in our beloved Herbology class here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. My name is Professor Pomona Sprout, and I will be your guide as we delve into the remarkable world of magical plants and fungi.

Herbology is not simply about growing plants; it is about understanding the profound connection between magic and nature. Within the walls of our Greenhouses, where sunlight filters through glass panes and the air hums with vitality, we shall explore the magical properties, uses, and care of a wide array of plant life. From the mundane to the extraordinary, every leaf, root, and blossom holds the promise of wonder and knowledge, each revealing secrets that are waiting to be uncovered.

This term, you will learn about the uses of magical herbs in potions, the significance of trees in ancient magic, and the proper techniques for caring for our flora. Together, we will study the intricacies of Mandrakes, the intoxicating properties of the Whispering Willows, and the enchanting allure of Winged Seeds. You will also gain hands-on experience; expect to get a bit dirt under your fingernails! Remember, the best way to learn about plants is to immerse yourself in their care and growth.

I encourage each of you to approach this subject with curiosity and respect. Plants are living beings that deserve our attention and protection. As custodians of the earth, we must learn to cultivate not just crops, but our understanding of the ecological balance that sustains our magical world. In doing so, you might find that the lessons learned in Herbology extend far beyond the classroom — they may equally apply to the way you live in harmony with the world around you."
"​

Lesson:


"As your Herbology professor, it is my great pleasure to delve into one of the most fascinating and often misunderstood groups of the plant kingdom: mushrooms. Today, as we gather in the verdant tranquility of our greenhouse, I invite you to engage your minds and senses as we explore the marvels of fungi.

To many, mushrooms may seem like mere culinary delights or components of potions; however, they are so much more than that. Fungi are extraordinary organisms that play an essential role in our ecosystem, transforming our world in ways that are both intricate and beautiful. My intention today is to open your eyes to the wonders of these marvels of the magical and mundane worlds alike.

First and foremost, let us distinguish between the many varieties of mushrooms. As we stroll through our greenhouse, you’ll notice shelves lined with specimens from the innocuous (think the common button mushroom) to the rare and mystical (like the curious Moonlight Shimmercap). Each species boasts unique characteristics and applications in our studies. I have always been fond of the Enchanted Puffball Mushroom, known for its captivating ability to camouflage itself with the surrounding flora. Remember, dear students, observation is key. As you analyze each mushroom, note its size, color, texture, and, importantly, its habitat.

Mushrooms can be broadly categorized into three groups: edible, medicinal, and toxic. As you may be well aware, we shall focus particularly on the latter two in today’s lesson. Edible mushrooms, like the delectable Porcini, not only add flavor to our meals but are also rich in nutrients. On the other hand, medicinal mushrooms such as reishi and chaga have garnered the attention of healers for centuries, touted for their ability to boost the immune system and ward off ailments. However, tread carefully! The striking beauty of a toxic mushroom, such as the infamous Death Cap, may be alluring but masks its deadly properties.

A recurrent theme in studying mushrooms is the importance of respect and vigilance. Last Hogsmeade weekend, for instance, a rather adventurous Gryffindor student mistook a stunning yet highly poisonous mushroom for an innocent treat. Thankfully, the quick intervention of a potion made by fellow classmates averted a nasty incident. It serves as a reminder to always perform careful research before harvesting or using mushrooms in any form.

Now, I see some of you eyeing the fungi with skepticism. “Do mushrooms really hold magical properties?” you might ask. Ah, the interplay of magic and nature! Indeed, certain mushrooms have been known to enhance magical abilities—notably the famed Muggle Stinkhorn, which emits a foul odor yet holds the key to Potions that can repel dark magical creatures. Never underestimate the potential borne of unusual appearances!"

Welcome Message: "Dear Students,

It seems all four houses have gathered to experiment and witness the true power of being a potioneer! I welcome all to those who are new and old-and I'm afraid I'll have to hold in future excitement to keep my composure. The way we work with potions will not be like simple spells-but more like a craft learned and done by your own hands. A small measly spell here and there might be done, but it is still your soul controlling how your cauldrons work their own very magic. But for now, let's keep whatever we have learned within this classroom instead of science projects inside a dormitory. With that, I think we shall delve a bit deeper!"​

Lesson:


"Welcome to those who have came with proper attendance- as we all bow down our heads in greeting, today is different from all days - we learn something new from the bubbles of our 'liquid spells' in our cauldrons, so what's today's going to be? Whereas, are we learning how to perfect our skills in measurement, timing, and speed or perhaps memorize the definitions of what each of our ingredients do? Precisely everything, but with a small shift from the in between parts of our chapter.

Starting everything off, I by far know most figure brewing a potion is like making a stew. That is incorrect for several reasons. In a stew, you can chop up meat in however size you want-even if you made a small mistake it wouldn't effect anything. This with potions is by far dangerous. Another is if you want to drink the stew. I can't say the same to whatever comes out of those pots. We could be learning how to poison someone, putting someone to sleep, or even shrinking a wizard's body by several inches. It is dangerous to consume these liquids without knowing it's purpose. So that is why I am here to guide you along the words of your books. I could rant off and off about more of these, but I wouldn't want to cut off the amount of time we have, do I?

Well, sometimes during our time together, I might not always do the work for you. I possibly might just hold up a tiny challenge with a reward at the end of the trail. It'll obviously be something with potions or house points, but don't test your luck. As much as how dangerous these potions can be, they could be used in a better way. That is why we wizards and witches are cultivating it's nature. Whether it's gross or not-everything you need is whatever you are. Concentration is something you need to bring-not just your books. Without it, I'm not sure how far you'll get within this class."
