Lesson#2
As I left off in the last lesson, the Magical World was now preparing to seal themselves off from the muggle world forever, therefore sparing both sides anymore tragic losses. However, sealing off the Magical World was more complicated that anyone had imagined. There were many things that had been over-looked in the initial stages of planning. This section of our course will be split into four lessons. The first lesson will be on the Planning Stage of the Closure, the second on the Debate Stage, the third will be on the Construction and Final Sealing of the Magical World, and finally the forth will be on Life Behind Invisible Walls. Meeting upon meeting of witches and wizards around the world were taking place. Each person had his or her own idea of how things should be set up. The basic plan was that the witches and wizards would live in their same homes, whether in muggle or wizarding neighborhoods. However, they would magically disguise their houses so they would look like muggle homes from the outside. As far as their shops and pubs were concerned, a center was made it each major city containing their different shops and places to eat. This shopping plaza was only accessible by magical folk, either though floo powder, apparation, or through a special entrance in a pub called The Leaky Cauldron. Then the concern came for the education of the young witches and wizards. It was decided to construct schools in the abandoned areas of the muggle world were the children would be taught. The schools and shopping plazas were protected by spells and charms that warded away muggles if they came near them. The planning of their new world was almost complete, but several people began doubting whether this was a good idea or not. That will be continued in next lesson.

Lesson#1:
In our last class we learned that a war had started between the Muggles and the Hobanies. A simple meeting of the two groups, sparked a war that had been brewing for centuries. After that first encounter with the Muggles, the wizard and witches were all summoned together. They were to discuss what should be done. Everyone agreed that war was un-avoidable, but the question had hand was how could they fight the Muggles without destroying there whole population. For as witches and wizards, they were far superior to the Muggles. The wisest of the witches and wizards of that time, Glen Riverboor told them that they would fight the muggles. And that they would use Muggles weapons. Thus the Battle of Magic began, in truth, the name is deceiving, for the battle had no magic in it. As the Muggles were approaching the Hobanies homeland of Southwestern Europe, the witches and wizards attacked. The battle raged on for 5 days, and finally ended when a group of young wizards broke the Muggles defensive line. The Muggles retreated leaving the witches and wizards to celebrate their victory. However, only one victory it was, for there were still more battles to be fought, on and off the field.
