Auggie watched as the soup spoon rose up in its place to the right of his plate and he retrieved it and began to eat the soup. It was really good too. "Excuse me, Professor did you make this food or was it the House Elves? I only ask because it's really great."

After the soup course was finished, Auggie had left some of it in the bowl because he didn't want to fill up too much, he was ready for the fruit salad. He quickly picked up his salad fork and then listened to the Professor's question, he raised his hand again and answered. "Aren't you supposed to leave them with the plate, cup, or bowl so the waiters can take it with them? Besides you have all the other utensils you need still on the table." he said with a nod.
Gemma's face lit up at the question from the student, "Well, Auggie, actually the House Elves did make most of these things. I went down and visited them yesterday and we spent all day working on these things...THey enjoyed learning some new recipes and, of course, I made sure we had made enough for them to have the courses as well.!" she said excitedly...she had had soooo much fun with the elves cooking and seeing them get excited about the new recipes...maybe they could work something into the feast...

SPOILER!!: Awesome...thanks!

He raised his hand. "You'd put your dirty utensils on the plate, so you don't get food on the nice tablecloths," he responded. Obviously. One didn't want the tablecloths to get dirty with your leftover gravy and butter!

Swallowing she raised her hand, "When you have finished eating, place them side by side in the center of the plate." But she wasn't finished eating was she?

Strawberries and Blueberries and Peaches, Oh my! She took another bite and smiled as she looked around to the people sitting with her. They were a quiet lot weren't they. Maybe they, like herself, were just enjoying the delicious food.

He took the salad fork and pressed it against a watermelon. On the next question he raised his hand again "Professor, after using the butterknife we return it back onto the bread plate. If for example we are done with this salad we replace our forks onto the serving plate that came with the salad." he said, tapping the serving dish beneath the glass container.

So, one should never allow the uh... dirty part of the silverware to touch the tablecloth or table, but instead rest half of it off the plate. Or you can put the cutlery just on the side of the plate, similar to how you would place your cutlery if you have finished - but on the side," she said.

So she happily ate her soup without slurping as she had been warned and was surprisingly quiet. Then again Selina was always quiet when food was on the table. It was just a reflex.

THEN IT WAS GONE! She was about to raise her hand to ask where the food had gone even though she had virtually finished hers by the time is disappeared when another course came out. It was some kind of fruit salad, but she was distracted by the strawberries inside to listen to the rest of the ingredients. This class kept getting better and better...

She rose her hand to answer her Professors question and said, "Do you leave your utensils on the small plate in each of our settings?"

Normally she put silverware down it was like a napkin or a plate. Hmm. Maybe she should answer that. Eva raised her hand and said "Do you put it on the right or on a plate?"

As she did that she listened to the Professor's next question.

She thought for awhile before she raised her hand. "Professor when you are temporarily used with your utensil like the butter knife you rest it on the the side of your plate. The used utensil should never touch the table after it has been used ."

''If you are finished your meal completely, you usually place your knife and fork, and any other utensil you are using neatly on the plate in the 12 o-clock position, It is considered quite rude if you don't do so,''

As she was enjoying her salad, the professor asked a question. Thinking for a moment she raised her hand. "Professor, don't you place it on your plate? Off to the side, so you don't bump into anyone?" She wasn't 100% sure it was correct, but then again, not many people did.

"I believe you place the knife on your plate, handle facing the right, so the dirtied part is over the plate."

Melanie was thrilled that she could finally excel in something. She felt so out of place in this new, magic world, but Muggle Studies? She could do this!

Though, when the soup came, he examined it one second, tried his best not to show his disgust at the sight of it and tried one spoon just to be polite, before putting the spoon neatly back next to his plate.

And then came the fruit salad, luckily fast, and he ate that happily. Now though, he supposed he should answer a few questions or else he would just eat and have done nothing to earn some points.

Raising his hand, he said "You place them neatly on the plate so that they don't leave a spot on the table." Made sense, right?

"You place it neatly on the plate?" The girl said hesitantly, with a hand raised. Or maybe it should be placed back next to the plate? Hmm.

This was turning out to be a great lesson.

It felt like he was eating ice-sugar cubes. After taking one last bite, Eino put his fork down, but he was not done yet! He turned his attention to Professor Cerulean and listened to her question. He raised his hand and spoke when he was allowed to. "I believe that after you've used the silverware you place it, very neatly, might I add, on top of your plate." At least, that was always what he did.

Spooning the delicousness, she sipped from the side of the spoon as she was taught to do much earlier. She continued sipping her soup, tilting her bowl just slightly way from her until it was finished. She barely had the time to register that most of them were done already. Leaning towards her right, she smiled as the bowl flew away.

Leaning left again, she allowed the cups of Fruit Salad land in front of her and paid very close attention to what was in it. After she was sure that she wasn't allergic to any of the fruits in the cup, she took her salad fork and delicately speared a piece of melon.

Hearing the question, Elise swallowed before raising her hand. "I believe you put them on your plate, handle facing to the right with the knife above the fork. That would indicate that you are not yet finished with your meal. Putting them diagonally, with the handle on the bottom right would indicate that you are finished with the meal."

Lowering her hand, she proceeded to spear a piece of pineapple. Chewing delicately, she smiled at the slight sourness of the pineapple. It was the perfect balance between sour and sweet and was really amazing.

She kind of had an idea, especially considering that the layout of the tablet. Mmm. Indy nodded her head, before raising her hand. "Would you put the knife, and any of the other cutlery that's been used onto the side plate, or saucer." Sounded pretty good.


"Yes ya'll are correct!" she said shaking her head up and down. "Once used, your utensils, including the handles, must not touch the table again. Always rest forks, knives, and spoons on the side of your plate or in the bowl or cup." she picked up her used fork from her plate and demonstrated for them on the screen. "You should always place it on the outer rim of the plate if you grab a drink or wipe your mouth with your napkin or something similar. You should never let it rest gangplank fashion with half of it on the plate and half of it on the table."

She glanced around the room to see if the majority of students were done with the fruit salad course. "If you'll just place your salad fork in the cup, when you are done. This will signal that you are done with this course..." she waited for the students to do that and with a flick the cups where removed on the left side of each student and floated out as the next course flew in.

"This is the sorbet course...it looks like ice cream but it's more tart than that..." she paused and then remembered an important warning, "Don't eat it too fast or you'll get a brain freeze...this course is to clean the palate for your main courses..." she had to admit that this was her one of her favorite courses...she loved sorbet.

SPOILER!!: Sorbet




When it seemed that the majority of the students were done, she flicked her wand and the empty glass bowls disappeared and the next course came in.

SPOILER!!: Lasagna Course...you'll just get one of the circles




She flicked her wand and the next course landed onto their serving plates. "Alright this is our first main dish. You can use the Fish Knife for this course..." she said picking up her knife, as the other utensils had, this fork raised up from all of the tables slightly. She flicked her wand and baskets of bread flew in an landed in the middle of each table.

SPOILER!!: Bread Sticks...Yummy




"Now it is important for you to pace yourself as you eat so that you don't finish before others are halfway through. So if you are a slow eater, try to speed up a bit on this occasion so you don't hold everyone up. And if you are a quick eater, slow down." she said eying her lasagna...this was going to be so good and the smell of garlic was just amazing!!! One of her favorites.

"In the next course, we are going to have sourdough rolls. Can anyone tell me what the proper way to eat bread is?" she asked motioning for them to start eating their lasagna...then she took her first bite.

OOC: Remember to raise your hand before you answer. .And as always remember she is always watching you! But remember she doesn't handle rudeness towards Muggle ways very well, so you might want to keep those prejudices to yourself unless you want face the consequences! Try the lasagna...oooo I love the smell of garlic from the bread...yummy...feel free to have LIGHT conversation at your table....but don't get carried away...
