Q1.

At The Battle of Agincourt in 1415 AD, the French, who were overwhelmingly favored to win the battle, threatened to do something to all captured English soldiers so that they could never fight again. The English won in a major upset and waved something at the French in defiance. This mostly urban legend is supposed to be the origin of what practice?

The finger, the middle finger, the highway salute, the Bronx salute, the one- finger salute, the bird (as in giving, flipping, or flying the bird), or flipping off someone.

The French proposed to cut off the middle finger without which it is impossible to draw the English longbow.

• This famous weapon was made of the native English yew tree, and so the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking yew".

• Thus, when the victorious English waved their middle fingers at the defeated French, they said, "See, we can still pluck yew! PLUCK YEW!“

Since "pluck yew" is rather difficult to say it has gradually changed to F*** You !

THE MAGICAL JOURNEY BEGINS

I think X would be very gifted in Occlumency, unlike Harry. Harry’s problem with it was always that his emotions were too near the surface and that he is in some ways too damaged. But he's also very in touch with his feelings about what's happened to him. He's not repressed, he's quite honest about facing them, and he couldn't suppress them, he couldn't suppress these memories. But I thought of X as someone who is very capable of compartmentalizing his life and his emotions, and always has done. So he's shut down his pity. So he suppresses virtually all of the good side of himself. But then he's playing with the big boys, as the phrase has it, and suddenly, having talked the talk he's asked to walk it for the first time and it is absolutely terrifying. And I think that that is an accurate depiction of how some people fall into that kind of way of life and they realize what they're in for. I felt sorry for X. Well, I’ve always known this was coming for X, obviously, however nasty he was.

Q2 X, also known as the Battle Over Little Whinging, or the

Flight from Little Whinging, was an aerial battle of the Second Wizarding War that took place above the Muggle area of Little Whinging. The battle occurred on 27 July, 1997, when several members of the Order of the Phoenix were ambushed by Death Eaters while removing Harry Potter from the home of his relatives. The Order managed to get Harry to safety, but suffered the loss of their leader, Alastor Moody, and Harry's owl, Hedwig, in the process. George Weasley also lost an ear because of a curse sent by Severus Snape, who originally sent his Sectumsempra curse at a Death Eater's wand arm. This war was a result of Snape’s semi-betrayal of the Order wherein he informs Voldemort about the removal of Harry. However the name of the battle is derived from the plan that Snape hatched and shared with the Order in order to save Harry and ensure his safe passage.
