| Year 1&3 Lesson 2- Hags Hags, also called crones, are savage, hominid creatures that look like ugly, old witches, but will usually have more warts than the average witch. They employ archaic earth magic and are easily recognised by Muggles. Hags are what Muggles think are "fairy tale witches," otherwise, little is known about these creatures. They have been granted the status of Being by the Ministry of Magic, though children and raw liver are a part of their diet. The decision to grant Hags the status of Being was part of the reason why theCentaurs and Merpeople chose to be classified as Beasts, since they did not want to be associated with them. During the 17th or 18th century, Honoria Nutcombe founded theSociety for the Reformation of Hags, which presumably helped to steer Hags towards a more civilised life in the Wizarding world. Hags can be occasionally encountered in Knockturn Alley or theLeaky Cauldron, and also Hogsmeade though it is not clear if hags live there or merely pass through. Some Hags, like Annis Black, are known to live in caves. Hags are often malevolent, and some have shapeshifting skills, or at least maintain the illusion of shapeshifting. Hags can be terrifying, apparently, since Quirinus Quirrell allegedly had "a nasty bit of business" with one during his time abroad.
* Homework: 1. Keep Practicing the incantation and hand movement for Curse of the Bogies 2. Tell me 3 facts about Hags and why they can be dangerous and send them to me by owl.Turning to the class, Professor Britefyre addressed the students. "I am so sorry about last week's amount of participation. I was working out some size issues and was quite occupied at my desk. So today, I want you to copy down your homework and take some notes on Hags. Then If time permits, we will practice the Curse of the Bogies on some Lizards, so that you get the feel of a curse."

Jenna gulped as she heard the word practice. It was her downfall. She closed her eyes and tried whispering the incantation under her breath... unsuccessfully. She was doomed. | |
