Activity: Blast to the Past
Points: Repetitive Activity. Participation and additional comments: 2pts. 30pts max.
Deadline: Wednesday, March 14 @ Midnight UTC (8pm EST)
Details: Tired of being called the most boring professor in the history of Hogwarts, Professor Binns has decided to shake things up by taking his students on a field trip. And where else would a history professor takes students but into the past? In the comments, write the story of their adventure into history. Each participant should add to the story one sentence at a time. (Please post as new comments, not as replies.) This is a group writing activity: where they go and what they do is entirely up to you guys.

Each contribution to the story is worth 2pts, with a max of 30pts.

This activity was suggested by the ineffable canarycream, who will receive 5 bonus points if she participates.

There will be NO GRACE PERIOD after the activity ends, so make sure that you're on the roster!
Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

As Professor Binns fired him his Super Secret Wizarding Time Machine, the students wondered apprehensively: where are we going?

It started shaking violently and the student realized this was going to be the trip of a lifetime.

When it stopped, everything looked the same but somehow different and Professor Binns said "Welcome to your first stop: yesterday."

Ron groaned. "Why yesterday? Yesterday was a horrible day!"

"I want to make it clear that history consists of everything that already happened - which means that everything YOU have done so far is part of history."

"Because," Professor Binns wheezed, "if you can't appreciate yesterday, how are you going to appreciate anything?"

"Sir," Hermione said raising her hand, "If this is yesterday, shouldn't we be worried about being seen by our past selves?"

"Correct, Hermione!" replied Professor Binns, "and this is why you will all Disillusion yourselves while we explore."

The class pulled out their wands.

As the spell shimmered over Ron, he wondered what he had gotten himself into by deciding to come to class today.

"Very good," Professor Binns said, looking around at the class as they all finished. "Now follow me!"

They set out to look at everyone's most recent pasts, starting with Ron.

Of course, Ron's day started in The Great Hall - which is where all of Ron's good days started.

This time, though, Ron was having a very decidedly bad moment.

It started off simply, all of the sausage was gone by the time Ron got to the Gryffindor table.

Past Ron slumped into his seat, scowling, as he reached instead for the bacon.

Only to have the platter snatched away by a fellow Gryffindor.

"Hey!" Ron cried out, as someone else snatched away the eggs. "Is anyone going to let me have any food?"

Past Harry rolled his eyes at Ron's dramatic outburst, and snagged the last piece of toast.

The class looked at present-day Ron, who turned slightly pink and muttered inaudibly under his breath.

Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron, "Really, if you'd wake up earlier..."

"I like to sleep, okay?" present Ron snapped as past Ron reached for the orange juice, only to accidentally spill it across the table.

Past Ron gave a huge sigh and threw his napkin on his plate in disgust.

At that moment, there was a huge creaking sound as something came plummeting down from the ceiling — straight toward past Ron!
