Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

Forgiveness {OWL DADA}
#4
January 6th, 1890 — Defence Against the Dark Arts Classroom

"Imagine, if you will, a conquest without bloodshed," Idunn began grandly, having had the Christmas holidays to prepare her speech.

"Instead of crossed swords and flaming arrows, the battle is won with wands, quickly, quietly, as the losing side is subdued by the Imperious Curse. While many would argue that it is immoral to strip one of their free will, we must ask ourselves if it is not more immoral to perpetuate the large-scale loss of life on all sides."

"We can bring this notion, too, into the modern era. Young children are full of energy and curiosity, both of which must be cultivated. However, they lack the sense and forethought that keeps them from trouble. If a child's life is endangered and they will not listen to reason, what other option does a good parent have than the momentary taking of free will to preserve decades of life?"

"In essence, one must way cost and reward against one another when making any decisions of morality, and the use of the Imperious Curse is, I would insist, no exception."
