Gemma looked at the girl with her left eyebrow raised...she couldn't tell from the girl's tone of voice if she was being rude or genuine...she was hoping on the genuine but she had a feeling from the way the first question was phrased that it was the other..."Well, I have to admit that I don't appreciate you questioning my lesson..." she said tilting her head to the left slightly, "And although I shouldn't have to explain myself, I will answer your question. There are a few changes between etiquette in both worlds, but either way etiquette is an important part of the Muggle world and the wizard world and not many people know etiquette in either world..." she paused and then continued, "And next time you would like to question my lesson subject please don't do it in the middle of my class...minus five points from Slytherin for your inappropriate questioning of my lesson." she said a little out of breath from her frustration at the question.

SPOILER!!: AMAZING!!!

Actually, there had been that one time when Sierra had returned to the table, unexpectedly, and caught her father kissing the woman she'd thought, at the time, was just a very good friend. She hadn't known they were together, but...well, it was pretty much crystal clear after she'd returned to that table.

No dout the caramel cream must be good as well!

Have way inbetween eating her first one she raised her hand and said, "Professor," Angelina stopped and wipped her mouth off with her napkin, so she didn't have Strawberries and White Chocolate Cream all over her face, she continues, "Don't the men or hentlemen get up and pull the chairs out for the lady."

"Professor, when a female leaves the table, a male should stand, as he would when a female joins the table." she answered.

Her parents would never buy her something red or gold, let alone put them together! It would be disgraceful to the all-Slytherin mania they had. Oh well, she was a Ravenclaw, why not break a few more rules while she was at it? Oh! A question! Vlimia's hand shot up.
"Well, gentlemen should stand up when she leaves and returns, and the one closest to her should push her chair in when she leaves, and pull it out for her when she comes back." Vlim said once chosen. She highly doubted that any gentlemen at her table would do that. Ever.
Vlimia surveyed the desserts in front of her, and ate a little of each at a time, trying to determine the ones she liked and disliked.

She raised her hand now. "The man is supposed to stand up and pull a woman's chair out when she leaves the table. And stand up and pull her chair in when she sits at the table."

He picked up his dessert spoon, wondering if he could use its shiny surface to check what was wrong with himself. But at a formal dinner setting? That would be rude wouldn’t it?

The Professor asked another question and started to raise his hand in reply. Wait, his hand has rashes… What? When did that get there?

“Ge’lmen shtand when uh ladeh shtands, an’ ‘elps ‘er to ‘er sheat w’en she rechurns…” he said trying to answer the question. Parts of his face was starting to itch too, and clenched his hands together to resist the urge to SCRATCH.

Minerva turned back to her yummy dessert and began to eat.

Usually the gentleman she is with will pull back her chair and she sits down and helps pushed it back it. If she had come alone, then the gentleman sitting next to her will do that, or sometimes, if one of the waiters is standing nearby, he will do it. "

Unable to stop herself, she first dug into the beautiful looking Dark Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Mousse & Caramel Cream. And it not only looked beautiful, but tasted just as delicious! And this was just one of the five desserts. Merlins knew she wanted to eat it all but had really no space left in her tummy!

So, taking a short break, she raised her hand up and answered, "Professor, the men, I mean the gentlemen.. Well, they should get up and pull out chairs for the lady." One of the perks of being a lady was to get herself pampered!

She wasnt sure if that was right but it sounded good. Taylor smiled and tried the desserts which was as delicious as they looked.

Taking her napkin she dabbed the edges of her lips before placing it back on her knees. Raising her hand delicately to indicate - yeah, she had an answer she waited politely until others finished speaking and then piped in her two cents.


"A gentleman, should when a Lady stands from her chair or so much as enters a room should also stand themselves. In finer establishments then gentleman entering with the lady, or the one closet to the lady in question should pull the chair for her, and push it in for her when she moves to sit back down." She smiled softly.

Now, she was going to learn something else - how about what others thought was Gentlemanly?

Finally the dessert was brought out. The desserts looked so good! Especially the chocolate ones. Silvia didn't care much for almonds, but she loved chocolate more than anything. So when it had been placed in front of her she immediately reached for one and ate a small spoonful. It tasted even better than it looked.

Silvia looked up when the professor asked her next question and after she swallowed a bite of mousse she raised her hand "Aren't the men supposed to help pull out and push in the woman's chair?" she answered.

She slowly ate it enjoying the flavor because, there really wasn't much there. She raised her hand in between bites and said, "He is supposed to stand as she leaves and stand when she returns." She took a sip of her tea and continued to enjoy the last course of the day. No dinner in the great hall for her.

She stopped eating and her hand went up to answer the question.. Did she have to? I mean in DESSERT? ''The, men are expected to stand up for the woman, once she has left the table! When the return however, they do the same but usually pull the chair out for the Lady,'' Hmm! LuLu, wouldn't want them to stand up but admittidly she would be.. quite flattered..

DESSERTS!!! RAWR!

August watched as the desserts were levitated to the table and he felt like a dog waiting to grab a treat only when instructed to.....go! After the word was ok to go, Auggie grabbed a chocolate mousse and began to dig in.

"Professor, if a lady leaves the table the men are supposed to stand both when she leaves and when she returns." That was a lot of standing and especially if all of the girls in here needed to go to the restroom.

She was grateful that the steak was done. And thankful that nobody had noticed her avoiding it and called her out. It was rather rude of her not to have let Professor Cerulean know about her dietary restrictions before class. Presley did roll her eyes at the next question, but she raised her hand anyway. "All gentlemen seated with the lady should rise when she excuses herself and when she returns." And offer her help with her chair if they knew she was sitting-down challenged like Presley seemed to be.

As she was served her food, she eagerly took a bite. She was a bit occupied with her food to hear the question that was asked. But she came to her senses when others started answering the question. She thought she might as well answer, what she thought, was the question. "I believe the gentleman have to get up with her and pull out the chair, and push her back in when she comes back. But professor, what if the lady doesn't come with anyone, or if she sits at a table were she doesn't know any of the guys?"

Then she knew the correct answer. Izzy raised her hand before speaking. "Professor the men are to stand up politely whenever a lady leaves the table," Izzy said remembering the times from those fancy formal dinners. "Then when the lady returns they are to stand again and one of them is to pull her chair out for her." It was at least the sign of respect she knew from when she was with her extended family at dinners. Her cousins or cousins boyfriends were always super polite.

Dessert time!!!

Jonathan wiped his mouth with the table napkin before the desserts were given to them. He listened as the professor explained more stuffs they should learn about dinning in fancy formal parties. And as soon as the desserts landed in front of him, Jonathan smiled.

Hearing the professor raised a question, Jonathan took a small bite from the deliciousgood looking cake. Yummy! --- And now to answer, Jonathan raised his hand "Preferably, when girls excuses themselves to go out, men should stand up." He has seen that most of the time when he was younger. "... and when the lady comes back, the man stands up again and maybe, escort her to her seat" that could be right, right? He's not sure though. Sooooo.... maybe.

Alex raised her hand to answer the Professor's question. "When a lady or girl leaves the table, a man should stand", Alex said. "He should also stand when she returns and help pull out or push up her chair."

He picked up his spoon and started in on the Amaretto Tiramisu. Yuck, coffee! No thank you. He moved on to the others, which were much more to his liking.

Setting his spoon down on his plate, he raised his hands to answer. "I believe it is polite for gentlemen to stand up when a lady leaves or returns to the table. We just have to be careful not to let our napkins fall to the ground and look silly bending over to get them." Embarrassing. "Would it be rude to put the napkin on the table our your chair in such cases?"

When they arrived at her table, Kurumi gently set it to the side closer to Jonathan in case he wanted it. She couldn't just let it go to waste like that. The house elves had worked too hard for it.

But...she really was going to explode if she ate any more.

Ignoring the dessert for not, Kurumi looked up when the next question was ask. Hmm...maybe this was the same custom as it was in her country? Everything else had been, well, not despite her growing up non-magical. Kurumi raised her hand. "A gentleman is expected to stand up whenever a lady leaves the table or comes back," she said. It was the same with her family's dinner parties and had been the case at one sort of formal party at Jonathan's. Kurumi's father often called it a choreographed way of saying, 'I think you're worthy of me getting to my feet.'

He always said both things to everyone.

The other students' questions made her forget about the question from the young girl, "Ya'll are absolutely correct. It is proper in both the Muggle AND Wizard World, thus being important to learn in MUGGLE STUDIES, " yes so she slid that last in for a reason, "for the men to stand up when a women leaves the table and returns to the table. It is also proper for the closest man, which is quite often the woman's date, to pull out her chair as she returns to the table." she said with a little smile.

She waited until everyone was done with their desert and then she said, "Once you are completely done with your meal, it is proper to finally place your napkin on the table. You don't want to do it before you are completely done with all of the courses..." she said taking the napkin out of her lap and placing it on her table. She waited for the students to follow suit. Once they had, she flicked her wand and slowly the plates and silverware still left on the table levitated and flew out of the room.

"Well, thank you all for coming to our fun and filling first lesson! Please feel free to stay for a little while and share some conversation with your friends. Please keep you eyes open on the board for our homework assignment that will be posted shortly..." she said with a smile and a little bow of her head.

OOC: Okey dokey, we are officially done. I'm going to leave the thread open until tomorrow so if anyone wants to catch up they can. Just put Catching Up or something like that in the Title of your thread. I'll post homework on the boards when I close the thread. Thanks everyone! I hope you really learned something even in RL!
