| | |  Muggle Studies Lesson 2 - Halloween
As you enter the Muggle Studies classroom, you notice that everything is decorated in a rather festive way. The walls are decorated with such items as spider webs and spiders, vampires, monsters, bats, skeletons, tombstones and other scary items. The desk itself is the centerpiece , with a large pumpkin sitting in the middle of it. The pumpkin has been carved out so that it reveals a scary face, and there is a candle inside it which provides illumination, the light flickering on and off in a rather mysterious way. On the floor beside the desk you notice lots of large grocery size paper bags, but the professor shies you away from these, pushing them aside as if they are a secret. There is also a small broomstick, a rather primitive looking black witches' hat (not the modern sort, but the somewhat old fashioned muggle concept of what a witches' hat should look like), and a picture magazine showing children and adults clad in lots of interesting and colorful costumes. There is also a stack of black and orange colored textbooks towards the front which Professor Dumont invites you to take one of - USA WEEKEND Magazine.
Take a look around, grab a book, have a seat and the lesson will get started soon! | |

"Very good, I can see you students are paying attention," Antonio smiled. "The three rites were the lighting of bonfire, wearing a mask to frighten off spirits and carrying the embers home from the bonfire to relight the hearth fire at home. So, we will move on to our next question, only three more after that, I promise, then homework!" He laughed. "Does anyone know practice witchcraft was originally wrongly linked with?"

After having the last question wrong, Meredith wasn't so sure anymore. But this question wasn't that hard, exept there was something else in the text, about jumping over broomsticks. She raised her hand and said "Witchcraft was wrongly linked with worshipping the devil."

"I'm sorry that devil worship and witchcraft were associated together," Antonio said. "Which brings up another interesting interpretation the muggles have made, which is the so-called witch hat, as they see it. Does anyone know what group originally wore what is perceived as the traditional witch hat by muggles?"
