Welcome everyone to my subject, Ancient Studies. Here we study both Muggle history and wizarding history. This course will be seeing some changes, but in the meantime, you are stuck with me. I am Professor Babbling.
This week, we will be testing your knowledge in a head-on competition. It is time for a trivia competition!
Below are the houses and their players. At the assigned time, the players are expected to show up. Each slot will have 10 questions where you must name the person that the description explains. The first person to answer correctly will win their House 200 points. If you answer incorrectly though, you will lose 50 points so be very careful! If you are wrong, the other player will get a chance to answer but can only win 150 points for their House.
Note that if someone other than the player named below answers the question, then you will automatically lose 100 points for your house, even if you aren’t the house playing at that time, so be careful that as audience you don’t end up disadvantaging your house! This includes if you are "helping" your player along. And as usual I will wait 5 minutes past the time for the 2 people to show up. If one person doesn't then we just play without them (or with a replacement).
