Default Muggle Studies Lesson 1: #roomgoals

The time-slot right after lunch is never an ideal time to host a lesson, but with the castle’s rooms being double-booked at all times… Well, you work with what you can get. So that’s precisely what your professor is doing: working with it. And by it, I mean his Rubik’s cube.

Anyway. ANYWAY. AnYwAy.

The classroom is very special for your first Muggle Studies lesson of the year. Yes, it is true that the desks and chairs are all in rows facing the front of the room, as expected. BUT ((and there is always a but)) they aren't just any desks and chairs. They are all sorts of whacky chairs (beanbags! stools! benches! tall chairs! small chairs! red chairs! blue chairs! cushions for chairs! buckets for chairs! so ! many !! weird !!! chairs !!!!). And all sorts of whacky desks too, actually come to think of it… Everything about the decor is whacky today… From the fuzzy rugs to the big picture frames to the funky wallpaper…

Not-so-whacky, however, is Professor Schmoe, who could be found next to his own desk (a far more traditional piece) waiting to greet you as you find a place to sit. On the chalkboard there is a written request that you create a name-tent for yourself with the piece of paper left on your desk. Finneas even made one for himself as an example. Buckle up, kiddos! Let’s LEARN stuff today!

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Claudine was very pleased with her list and had actually been doodling a small, stylish cupboard on one corner of the post-it. She was completely unaware Schmoe had snuck up behind her. When he spoke, she started a little, a soft squeak escaping her lips. MUST THE MAN DO THINGS LIKE THAT? Once she had somewhat regained her composure, she said stiffly, “Thank you.’’ Claudine scribbled the words in curly brackets next to the words sixth on her list.

She wondered if Schmoe had eaten something bad for his health during the lunch hour. Just look at him bumping into those tables. Anyway, it seemed they would be going a bit more in depth in the next week’s lesson but she already knew there had to be differences since witches and wizards didn’t even care for certain muggle things.

IKEA? The girl had definitely not heard of that until earlier in the lesson. The catalogue was pulled towards her and she stared down at it. A quick flick of it told her that it was full of pictures. This was a good thing as she wasn’t in the mood to do reading. At least the activity sounded easy enough but actually building the furniture? Not exciting. Still… that was a bridge to be crossed when they came to it.

As it was,this was another activity than could easily be handled so Claudine settled on the first page of the catalogue to begin her quest for kitchen furniture.

She smiled at Eiji when he offered her the list, and her smile blossomed into a grin at the professor's praise. Phoebe waggled her eyebrows wildly at Eiji, like ohhhhh did you hear thaaaaaat, but she wasn't giving up her chance at three additions to their list. Would he let her have that water slide? There was probably only so far she could push him.

Phoebe sat back a bit when the huuuuuge book was set in front of her, and she poked it tentatively with her finger. Was it a textbook? Full of furniture? Cooooool. Maybe she could come up with ideas for their study while looking at all the very pretty furniture. Only, it wasn't exactly up to Eiji's aesthetic, was it?

"What about this chair? It swivels! And it has wheels. And it looks just a little bit bouncy, right? So you loooook serious, but you're actually whimsical on the inside." That was kinda like her mum, although her whimsy was deep inside and mostly only her family got to see it. "I don't really like these desks. We need something vintage."

Oh, she had an idea! Phoebe added a few things to the end of their list.

Working on your own was incredibly boring. Also she didn't think she'd get ANYTHING done.

"ME!" Hello. The other girl looked familiar. Sort of. She'd definitely seen her around Hogwarts. Probably. "Hi. I'm Siobhán. What's your name? I think we should do a pantry. That's where the food is." Shivvy said all this loudly while walking over to the Ravenclaw, grinning all the while. Yes, good plan. "I'll get us that poster." And with that she turned right back around on her heels to head to the front of the classroom.

Hello Professor Schmoe. Hi.
Thank Merlin. Her offer to partner up with someone didn't go unanswered. That would have been embarrassing, especially given the fact that the professor had noticed. She wasn't thaaaat much of a loser....she just needed to work a little harder at socializing. That's all. Avalon smiled as the semi-familiar Gryffindor student approached her. "Hi Siobhán. I've definitely seen you around before, but I don't think we've officially met. I'm Avalon." She extended her hand to introduce herself. "And yes! The pantry sounds like a great idea." Food was always a good thing, after all.

"Alright, so we need to think of some items to go in there. And then find them in this......book?" Was it a book? It certainly was as thick as some books. Avalon thumbed through it, glancing at photos of strange, minimalistic Muggle furniture. "I can think of a few things so far, like shelves and lights so you can see what food you have. And maybe some boxes to put stuff in. Anything else to add?"

Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when

Fiona was a bit stunned when Professor Schmoe complimented her on her work. "Er, thanks, Professor Schmoe." When Schmoe placed the catalogue on her desk, Fiona began to casually flick through the pages with one hand, the other hand resting on her chin.

After a few moments, Fiona came upon a rather interesting looking item that seemed to combine the sink, taps, drawers and cabinets that she had written down on her list. She quickly circled the item and resumed her search.

Ah, perfect! Fiona had found a dining table and four chairs which was suitable for family meals and Fiona did think the colour of the item did suit her design. She circled the item and decided to look for a final item.

Fiona had found a beautiful picture that reminded her of her old home. It was a photo of New York City adorned with the word "Adventure" in pink neon lights. She circled that in a very large circle.

Yeah, he heard. And he was still trying not to like this professor on principle alone. Though that thought grew significantly harder to achieve when his want was actually rewarded and they were told that they WOULD be constructing things. Eventually.

But woah wait a second. They were going to actually get to order things? On the professor's galleon? That was what the man's words implied, which meant that this activity took on a drastically different role. Pity that he, honestly, dislike almost everything his eyes fell on as he gave the catalog a cursory look through. The chair Phoebe had suggested being the lessor of evils on the page of desk chairs. That was...until he found another option.

"I prefer this," he said nonchalantly while pointing to it. As far as desk chairs went. "....and this desk," he continued after some more flipping and pointing to the images. "...which I think I will have to compromise the L shape seeing as this place doesn't seem to accommodate for that taste." Unless they were allowed to customize things...in which case he was certainly attempting that during the construction period. "And this hanging light." Another point to another item on another page in the catalog. He continued to idly flip through the pages until he came upon something from her list. "Look, they have your globe too."

But when asked, he was going to push for the desk order - it was something actually useful to him and something he had been wanting to upgrade in his room back home for some time now. It would be the largest academic stretch among all the items and surely Professor S'more wouldn't deny him the opportunity for such hands on education. Surely. Eiji was already practicing making his case in his head for when the time came.

She had been embarrassed enough by the whole Amazon goof that she had stayed quiet the rest of class. Though, why she was so embarrassed, she couldn't put her finger on. It wasn't like she was expected to know all this stuff. That was why one went to class, to learn. Maybe it was the fact that she was in a new place? Let's go with that. Dalia had been paying attention, though, and taking good notes. Also, her list was made on the giant post-it thingy. And her ears were thankful that Professor Schmoe seemed to be done with the chalk.

Wait, what? They were going to be putting these things together? Wasn't Ikea furniture notorious for being hard to put together? Uh..she wasn't quite sure about this. Still, she did look through the catalog. They sure had some weird names for their things. Hmm....the Besta/Eket contraption looked interesting. So did the Tidafors. Plus, surely a sofa would come already in one piece, right? Right. And the Vittsjoe. That was her third, she was done! Okay, she might have picked, like, one more than asked. Oh well.

They have fun in their own ways, even if those ways are different. Wonder what video games are like. Have you ever played any?" She was curious. Her family had muggle ties, so she knew some things, but she'd always been more about exploring wizarding pastimes. Maybe she'd enjoy the muggle ones, too. Maybe.

Also, she was PRETTY sure they were done, so now they could just hang out until the next task. Cecelia was GOOD at hanging out.


Uh?? Making your clothes glow?! Lucas wasn't sure what to make of that but he knew that that wasn't what he was going for. He was thinking more cool lighting that would help set the scene while playing a game. But he had a feeling that breaking a first year's heart wasn't on today's agenda so, "Uh, yeah! Exactly like that. It would make playing games a lot cooler, wouldn't it?"

Fun. Their game room was fun. If anything, that was a relief for the fourth year, who found himself smiling. "I guess they make do with what they have, even if they don't realise what they're missing." Which was a shame because magical dancing lights while playing games would be nice. "No, I haven't. My sister only played pretend games with me. Things with dragons and adventure....." Too much information? It probably was.

He was about to ask about her what kind of games she played with her siblings or friends, but it was at that moment that Schmoe came over to look at their list. Here to entertain? He exchanged a look with Cece and just smiled. In a sense, they were. What else would a game room be for?

When it was time to move on, Lucas took down the giant poster and motioned Cece over to wherever her desk was. His desk was..... not a good idea so her desk would work. And he could sit on the floor, it wasn't that far off from where he was sitting last-

........ Uhh?????

Shopping for furniture? That sounded fine. But assembling the furniture? No. No way. That sounded like chaos!

Frowning slightly, he started flipping through the heaaaaaaavy catalogue. There wasn't any kind of strategy here: no price check or going down the list. He was just looking to see which one would work the best in their game room that had cool lights and glow in the dark clothes. The TV tables came up first, and he slowed his search down. There were...... a lot of choices. A lot of colour and design options and some that worked well with some rooms but some that worked well with other kinds of rooms and-

Breathe.

He stopped at a page and turned to show it to Cece, instead. "Hey, Cece? What do you think of this stand?"

Kaiser simply graced Schmoe with a slight nod of the head, and sat back on his cushion when the man wandered away. Though... 'man' seemed like a bit of a stretch. Schmoe reminded Kaiser of an incredibly awkward teenage boy, and he sure knew a lot of those since he had started attending Hogwarts. He wondered, vaguely, if Schmoe and Drew would get along...

... and quickly stopped that line of thought. Thinking about Drew was really just asking for trouble, and was likely to have him sliding into a worse mood than he'd already put himself in. None of that.

Anyway anYwAy aNYWAY. They were moving on, and Kaiser was listening, more or less. Actually, it was more, but he wore an expression like he was only vaguely paying attention. Unintentional? Totally on purpose? A mystery it would remain.

In any case, this wouldn't be a very difficult task for him, with his single listed item. Kaiser only wondered quite how well he would manage the building part; he knew he was good at breaking and entering, but would he have any sort of aptitude for putting furniture together? He supposed he'd find out. Not today, though.

Once Schmoe had told them to get started, Kaiser idly flipped through the catalogue he had been given. It was a good few minutes before it really occurred to him that he was just turning pages aimlessly, and even then... he just kept rifling through. Tired brain did not want to do things.

But it had to. Kaiser had to. So, once he reached the end of the catalogue, he flipped back to the front again and started the activity properly. Within moments, he was at the bed section.

What was it Schmoe had said? A lot of things, yes, but about the furniture in particular? He needed to consider material descriptions (which didn't matter), size (which didn't really matter), and price (which sort of mattered, he supposed). After a few minutes scanning through the bed section, he circled the cheapest one he could find, because if he decided to buy a bed instead of just procuring an abandoned mattress or - more likely - just sleeping directly on the floor, he would probably go for the cheapest. The bed didn't look like it would be too hard to build either - not that Kaiser had any basis for such a deduction - so at least there was that.

... Well, it looked like he was done. So now he could rest? Great. Kaiser leaned back and stretched his arms out in front of him, then above him, then behind him, before leaning one elbow on his chair-desk and gazing off into the middle distance, effectively dozing with his eyes open. It had been a long couple of days, and still they insisted on going on and on and on without pause...

Phoebe made a face at both the ugly desk and the taller chair that Eiji liked, but she figured since this was his study, she didn't have much say at the moment. She could shut up and let him have his own ugly furniture. "That light looks like a spaceship," she finally offered, and then, "Why is that globe blank?"

See? Not criticism. And just to be helpful, she offered, "I like this sofa. It seats three people and looks excellent for napping. Please? Pleaseeeee?"

Default Q for professor schmoe
Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede!

Cole felt his face slightly flush at Professor Schmoe's mention of his name. He had said that muggles shopped at IKEA and now the whole main activity was about it. What he couldn't have guessed or predicted if his auntie had been here was that they we're going to spend the rest of the class circling items in a furniture catalogue. It could potentially be a boring or fun task. Time would tell. When he got the catalogue he went straight to the bathroom section, cross checking with his list to see what he had noted down. Flipping the pages his eyes stopped on a children's potty in an awful fugly greenish colour that made him laugh heartily out loud to nobody in particular. "Who'd buy a potty in that colour?" Shaking his head Cole continued on finding a cute heart shaped bar of soap that he just knew that his sister would have loved to have and last but not least a fugly green crocodile shower mat to put your feet when you got out of the shower. Not sure what to think Cole raised his hand to ask positively curious. "Professor Schmoe are muggles very attached to neon crocodile green colours on their accessories and items, because I've found at least two items of that colour..?" Maybe he had looked at items and not furniture but this was more fun........

♣ Heejin here | Did somebody say coffee & cakes? | cat lover ♣

For some reason, Jillian is enjoying this class so far. Sure Professor Schmoe has his quirky ways especially with his love for chalk but surely thinking of this activity was something he did right. Jillian enjoys interior designing, she likes picking out colors and matching all of them with each other. She took the IKEA catalogue that was passed around and she went through her list of things that she noted from earlier.

She flipped through the pages and thought things through since the professor asked for size, measurement and prices to be considered in picking any of the items in the catalogue. Challenge accepted. First off she wanted to know how this dining room is going to look like. Everything must be cohesive and sort of a minimalist design. Simple and classy interior. Okay, okay. Now that she have like a theme thought out, next is to pick items on this catalogue.

The first on her list is a long dining table. She returned to the page that she remembered and found a nice long table and some really nice comfortable chairs that would go well with any style. Adding to that is this gold flower-shape center piece.

Now most dining rooms should have a large window directly facing the dining table and chairs. That's why these thick curtains will surely be a great design that matches well with the interior.

Next are plates, utensils and wine glasses... Jillian skimmed through the catalogue until she finds a nice set of ceramic plates, wine glasses and utensils.

Now for the extra designs, she considered putting a chandelier or light and then of course a family portrait. It's always nice if it looks homey and a family picture signifies that. Since this IKEA catalogue does not have a lot of designs for chandelier, she will need to improvise or go to a plan b which is to just choose any that she can find. Finally choosing a nice looking one she proceeded to pick a frame. Her idea with this is the same as the one she has in her house. In their living room she placed about 5 different frames and in those are her paintings, making it some sort of collage. Same thing just this time it will be family pictures. It can be pictures from their travels or something really posh.

And with that, she marked everything off her list. Phew.
Now she can rest.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Claudine continued to flit through the catalogue, pausing what seemed like every second when something caught her eyes. If she wasn’t careful, the time would run out and she wouldn’t be able to complete the activity. Fortunately, she pulled herself together. The first item that she came across that fit the room she had chosen, was a sink; the girl considered it. The colour was lovely, she thought. It had a drainboard with cupboards, a faucet… it was small but it was perfect and one that she would have selected had she been decorating her own kitchen. Her first selection was circled then she continued the browsing.

The Snakette was quite delighted a fridge/freezer that would fit right in with her selected sink. Using her pencil, she circled it. Now, she would look for one more item- a table. Claudine flipped and flipped through the catalogue but the tables she found were not compatible with her sink and refrigerator. The girl was determined to find one so she continued her search.

She wasn’t going to outwardly cringe like her sister was, either, upon glancing over at Carsyn and seeing her hands over her ears. Although maybe slouching down into her fuzzy beanbag chair was working rather like earmuffs anyhow. If she juuust scrunched down a bit more anyway…

Oh. They were doing an activity, so she sat back up just the tiniest bit. Pair work was easy, duh. She had a ready-made partner, and she knew they worked well together. Plus, it probably meant there wouldn’t be any more screeching chalk for a while. “So what kind of room do you want to design?,” she asked, boosting herself up more in her seat as she waited for her twin to answer. There were plenty of options she could think of. But then most of her ideas probably revolved around artwork to go on the walls rather than anything else.
Carsyn had never been one to hide her displeasure with things. If something annoyed her - such as the chalk screeching - she WAS going to show it in her actions. But back to the activity on-hand.

"Bathroom. Doh. Super easy and like how much decorating can really go into it in terms of additional furniture?" Like, a toilet and a sink and a bathtub were all givens. "Plus we could design our own pun-filled poo artwork decorate the walls. Maybe some sort of urine trouble." Okay, was she getting ahead of herself? Too disgusting? LISTEN, she was fourteen. These things were GOING to be FUNNY for her. Also. Not literal poo artwork, cause that would be disgusting. Just some sort of punny artwork.

Ikea .......... they were going to be putting together furniture? Or wait, wait ...... why were they NOT taking a field trip to one? Because literally when Schmoe mentioned the cheap ice cream, that was all Carsyn needed to want to visit a store first hand. Like ... looking through a catalogue was great, but she wanted ice cream. Stat. And it wasn't until the thick book made a thump onto her table when she woke from her ice cream daydream. UH. She didn't want to build furniture. See, this was why she was glad to pick bathroom cause surely they didn't need to pick furniture and could just do decor like shower curtains and things. Or did the shower curtains need to be stitched? Wait, how WERE shower curtains made???


Flipping casually through the book, she pointed. "We need this, obviously." Mirrors were a given. So Carys, you were writing this down? Or did they need to rip out the items from the catalogue they wanted? "And this doesn't look too hard to build?" Hopefully. Cause she supposed they needed SOME piece of furniture and how hard could it be to throw some shelves and posts together???

Exactly like that. It would make playing games a lot cooler, wouldn't it?"

Fun. Their game room was fun. If anything, that was a relief for the fourth year, who found himself smiling. "I guess they make do with what they have, even if they don't realise what they're missing." Which was a shame because magical dancing lights while playing games would be nice. "No, I haven't. My sister only played pretend games with me. Things with dragons and adventure....." Too much information? It probably was.

He was about to ask about her what kind of games she played with her siblings or friends, but it was at that moment that Schmoe came over to look at their list. Here to entertain? He exchanged a look with Cece and just smiled. In a sense, they were. What else would a game room be for?

When it was time to move on, Lucas took down the giant poster and motioned Cece over to wherever her desk was. His desk was..... not a good idea so her desk would work. And he could sit on the floor, it wasn't that far off from where he was sitting last-

........ Uhh?????

Shopping for furniture? That sounded fine. But assembling the furniture? No. No way. That sounded like chaos!

Frowning slightly, he started flipping through the heaaaaaaavy catalogue. There wasn't any kind of strategy here: no price check or going down the list. He was just looking to see which one would work the best in their game room that had cool lights and glow in the dark clothes. The TV tables came up first, and he slowed his search down. There were...... a lot of choices. A lot of colour and design options and some that worked well with some rooms but some that worked well with other kinds of rooms and-

Breathe.

He stopped at a page and turned to show it to Cece, instead. "Hey, Cece? What do you think of this stand?"


"Hey, I play those kind of pretend games with MY little brother, too!" Those EXACT kind, in fact. It made Cecelia think that Lucas's sister MUST be pretty awesome as far as sisters went. Something they obviously had in common.

Scooting her seat closer to the older boy, she watched as he flipped through the catalog, ready to stop him if she came across any items they might need. The stand he chose wasn't what SHE would've picked, but it DID have SOME benefits. "Bet the white will match almost anything AND it looks pretty sturdy, which is good. I approve!" Always a plus when it came to partner work, yes?

Flipping through some more, Cecelia GASPED when she came to a VERY appropriate sofa for their room. "Lucas, LOOK!" It was a thing of beauty. "Isn't it PERFECT?" Oh. OH! "And just LOOK at these chairs! Bet they'd be comfy. I like how they just POP, you KNOW what I mean?"

See? Not criticism. And just to be helpful, she offered, "I like this sofa. It seats three people and looks excellent for napping. Please? Pleaseeeee?"
He was going to pointedly ignore her faces at his selections. Honestly, nothing in any of this uncatalogued was appealing to him but he had seen what had happened when you put nothing on your paper and he was not keen on receiving that sort of call out. "It reminds me a little of an alchemy symbol," he shrugged, making the best of the selection. "Probably so you can draw on it yourself. Customize it to your liking or to test your knowledge of things." It seemed stupid to him and he wondered how many of these they actually sold considering people tended to waver on the side of lazy and a black globe was the epitome of that. He wasn't the most visionary when it came to artistic outlets either.

The sofa was an unfortunate brown color, but he supposed it would do. "Yeah. Sure. Mark that one down as an option."

He couldn't help but overhear the question from the one Gryffindor, Cole, who had thrown up at the feast and caused a bit of a scene. The neon colors and all that. "Neons are not an exclusive taste," he sighed casually. "My little sister is obsessed with them...particularly in the aesthetic of some infamous designer called Lisa Frank."

Finneas was very pleased with how well everyone was doing. Eiji and Phoebe, though an unlikely pair, were making incredible progress it seemed. But he was a bigger fan of the comfortable chair that Phoebe had pointed out tbh. He needed a more comfortable chair…. Seeing as Odaline had claimed his as her own now. Hmm. Inch resting. ANYWAY. Siobhan and Avalon were busy as well, it seemed. He offered the pair an encouraging smile as they continued discussing potential pieces for their room. The photo Fiona had picked out was an excellent touch, every room could do with some decor! He gave her a thumbs up as he walked by. Dalia looked like she had a handle of the activity, flipping through the catalogue quite diligently.

Cecelia and Lucas were making great headway with their game room. Two thumbs up!!! Kaiser was…. doing a strange thing. Anyway. At least he had looked through the catalogue? Maybe? Schmoes maneuvered his way around the boy. Looking over Jillian’s shoulder he pointed to the gold flower thing she had picked, ”I like that!” And then continued to make his way around, pausing to look over Claudine’s shoulders, before listening in on Carsy/Carsyn’s conversation. He liked what he was hearing. GREAT DISCUSSIONS.

Except for the bathroom talk. That made him uncomfortable. Schmoe was out. Not really, he wasn’t out. This was his lesson. He was ALL in.

It could potentially be a boring or fun task. Time would tell. When he got the catalogue he went straight to the bathroom section, cross checking with his list to see what he had noted down. Flipping the pages his eyes stopped on a children's potty in an awful fugly greenish colour that made him laugh heartily out loud to nobody in particular. "Who'd buy a potty in that colour?" Shaking his head Cole continued on finding a cute heart shaped bar of soap that he just knew that his sister would have loved to have and last but not least a fugly green crocodile shower mat to put your feet when you got out of the shower. Not sure what to think Cole raised his hand to ask positively curious. "Professor Schmoe are muggles very attached to neon crocodile green colours on their accessories and items, because I've found at least two items of that colour..?" Maybe he had looked at items and not furniture but this was more fun........
As he was making his rounds around the classroom (heh) he noticed a hand making it into the air, and drew near. He was quite chuffed that Eiji chimed in with an answer, and nodded along to show his approval. "And adding to that," Schmoe began. "Often times colors trend according to current fashions and styles... Maybe neon crocodile green is in mode right now!" But then again... How much did Finneas know about fashion? Not much. That was Alina's territory.

And would you look at that! It was nearing time!!


......
...........


Finneas clumsily made his way to the front of the classroom, awkwardly cleared his voice, and then addressed the class in a loud voice. "It's almost time, everyone," a shame because he was really enjoying it all. "If you're done with the activity, please bring me your catalogues before you head out. If you're not done...." he checked his watch. "You still have a few more minutes to wrap up! Otherwise, have a, uh, fantastic day! I'll see you... At dinner, probably. Yes."

He blinked seven times.


OOC: Thank you SO much for playing !! I had a BLAST, I hope y'all had a BLAST too !! Class is wrapping up, so you can post exits if you wish ^___^ But as promised, you still have time to finish up this activity too. I'll close the thread in 10ish Hours, but you can still post doing the activity up until then!

Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when

Fiona had rather enjoyed the lesson to her great surprise. She quickly packed up and handed the catalogue back to Professor Schmoe. "Pretty cool lesson, Professor!" she said as she headed out of the classroom.

Tina beamed as Professor Schmoe praised her list, nodding in reply, but she didn’t dwell on it for long. In the time she had left in the mini activity, she went back over her list to make sure she hadn’t forgotten anything, and an idea occurred to her. She’d also need a clock and a wastebasket in her room - a clock to tell the time and a wastebasket because who wants to walk halfway across the house to throw away trash? She’d just finished adding those items to her list when Schmoe told everyone to return to their desks… which she didn’t have to do because she was already there. She looked up, listening semi-intently as the professor talked about IKEA. She’d heard of the store before but never actually been to one. Most of her parents’ furniture had been inherited from family members or bought at secondhand shops, and she had no idea where Chateau Croyance’s furniture came from… though somehow she doubted it was from a non magique store.

When Tina saw the giant post-it notes earlier, she thought the main activity was going to be drawing a floor plan for the rooms they’d chosen, but to her surprise, Schmoe handed out IKEA catalogs instead. Wait, so all they had to do was go through the catalog and circle items on their lists? That sounded ridiculously easy, especially since she had a clear picture of the furniture she wanted! She thumbed through the catalog, looking for the first item on her list (a leather sofa bed), but she found it wasn’t as easy as she thought. None of the sofas she found fit all of her preferences. She found plenty of leather sofas, but they didn’t have a pull-out bed; she found sofa beds, but the ones in the color she wanted weren’t leather. And holy hippogriffs, why was everything so expensive?! She made a mental note to never buy anything from IKEA when she got her own place; she could find cheaper (and probably better) furniture elsewhere!

After several minutes of looking, she eventually picked the sofa bed that was closest to what she had in mind and checked her list again. Arm chairs were next. This time, things went a little easier. All she had to do was find something in the same color as the sofa bed she picked. Hmm… not the style of chair she would’ve chosen, but beggars can't be choosers! Now she needed footstools to match, preferably something with a built-in storage cube. This time she got lucky! Upon searching the catalog, she found exactly one style of footstool that matched the color of her sofa and chairs and doubled as a storage cube.

End tables were the next thing on Tina’s list. Good, that meant she could look for things in some other color! Don’t get her wrong, she liked the color she’d picked for her sofa, chairs, and footstools, but matching colors got a bit boring after a while. She wanted a dark wood for her tables, but again, the selections didn’t match exactly what she had in mind. Maybe something in an oak veneer would be nice? It was the darkest finish she could find without being black because yeah, black furniture wasn’t really her style. She eventually found an oak table, but it was round instead of square like she preferred and - Eww, what was up with the legs?! They were connected in a way that made the table look like an upside-down bird cage, but it was oak veneer and it had a shelf. Close enough, she supposed.*

Tina begrudgingly circled the weird-looking table and moved on to the next thing on her list: a bookshelf. To her relief, this selection was surprisingly easy! Upon searching the catalog, she found quite a few bookshelves in an oak veneer to match the end tables, but she chose the biggest one she could find. It had five shelves, plenty of space for books and maybe a few other things, and it was surprisingly inexpensive, comparatively speaking. Now she needed an entertainment stand to match. This item was a little harder to find. She wanted something big enough to hold a television and a stereo but not so big that it took up the entire room; the problem was most of the oak veneer stands that looked big enough for a stereo were huge and expensive. It took a lot of searching, but she eventually found one that looked promising. It was oak veneer and had two huge doors on the bottom - maybe a stereo would fit behind the doors. It looked big enough.

Now that she’d picked out her furniture, Tina could move on to the more fun, decorative items. She flipped through the catalog looking for a television and stereo, but there were none to be found. She wasn’t entirely surprised; most of the furniture stores she’d seen didn’t carry electronics so why would IKEA be any different? As for wall art, she preferred to make that herself, so she focused on the curtains, pillows, and area rug for now. Now what colors did she want? She wanted something bright but not gaudy. She soon decided on a blue and lavender color scheme for her room as an homage to her dads’ Beauxbatons house colors. First she looked at curtains. She found quite a few blue ones, but most of them were blackout curtains and she didn’t want those, not for a living room anyway. She preferred something that would let in the sunlight. Eventually she found a set of curtains close to what she was looking for. They weren’t quite the Ombrelune shade of blue, but they’d do. Now she needed pillows. She looked through the catalog, hoping to find something lavender or something with a butterfly (or preferably both), but no such luck. She didn’t find what she was looking for, but she did find a nice blue cushion cover with a white floral pattern. That was sort of pretty; it matched her curtains, and she liked flowers. She circled it before moving on to the area rug. Again, she didn’t find exactly what she had in mind, but she found something she liked - a white rug with a bluish-gray flower pattern that looked similar to the cushion cover she picked, only with the colors reversed. That would do nicely!

Tina was almost finished when Professor Schmoe’s voice startled her. What? They were almost out of time already? But she still had three items left! Asdfjkl! She needed to pick them out and fast. Flipping through the catalog as fast as she could, she came to the lamps section. This was going to be fairly easy; all she wanted was a simple inexpensive table lamp with a metal base. Found it! Now what? Wall clock! Tina glanced over the selections until something jumped out at her. It was a clock with gold roman numerals and a bluish face that would go with her decor. She didn’t know why, but something about that clock reminded her of the sundials from astronomy class. That was a good enough reason for her to choose it. Now all she had left to find was a wastebasket. This seemed pretty straightforward, as there wasn't much choice. She picked a plain white basket that matched her area rug and hurriedly circled it before packing up her things. "Goodbye, Professor," she said politely, handing in her catalog on the way out the door. "Thank you for the lesson!" It was a lot more informative than she initially thought it would be!

Cause she supposed they needed SOME piece of furniture and how hard could it be to throw some shelves and posts together???
Her sister’s response had only elicited a bit of an eyeroll from Carys. Of course Carsyn would go for the easiest idea. Bathrooms weren’t quite as simple as she thought, either, although she doubted the professor was going to make them assemble the most important parts. There wasn’t a lot of assembly in those anyway. “I’m pretty sure you know I wouldn’t do anything like that,” she pointed out, scribbling down notes as to their plans on the post-it but leaving out punny poo artwork. She was all for artwork, even in a bathroom, but it didn’t need to be distasteful.

“Maybe we could put up sayings. Like how some people write quotes and stuff on Muggle bathroom walls.” She’d seen it in a Muggle park a long time ago, and even if she hadn’t understood whatever had been written it was an interesting idea. Plus, she was entirely too aware that her twin was way more focused on the lack of ice cream when it had been mentioned. Glancing through the catalog as well, she didn’t even see the food and other things they’d been told about. It was a bit disappointing. Even if she didn’t mind the whole healthy food thing going on during this term, she missed chocolate. And she missed the possibility of Hogsmeade trips.

“Maybe we could do all white furniture with dark accents. Like that shelf and the mirror, and we could use this little cabinet too. And then add color with the towels and stuff,” she added, quickly circling the three items as the professor had announced the lesson was coming to an end and sticking their post-it to the catalog for good measure. In case he needed to know which one was theirs.

Claudine could not find anything that suited her other two items. It was frustrating and even more so when Schmoe announced that the time was up. What she had selected would have to do. She silently packed up her belongings, picked up the post- it then headed for the Muggle Studies professor. She held out the catalogue. “Chalk isn’t your friend, Professor,’’ she said in her quiet voice before heading out of the room.
