Text Cut: before class & Question 1
Didn’t it seem as though Fiyero looked tired? Kay couldn’t blame him. She reasoned he had trekked all the way from the Gryffindor Tower. “Hello, Mr Jones! Please take a seat to catch your breath.’’ A well rested student concentrated better in classes. “Please remember to use your pen or pencil.’’

“Welcome to yet another Muggle Studies lesson! You must be wondering what today’s lesson will be all about. Well, I was thinking about going a bit back to our younger years. Maybe we wouldn’t even have to go back any years at all for some of you.’’ Her blue eyes twinkled in the general direction of the class. “Now, some of you may think that you are too old for what we’re about to talk about today but I must say I would disagree.’’

Kay gracefully walked towards the back of the room, waving her wand to temporarily close the windows so that the classroom was plunged into enough darkness so that the projector could be used. “For those of you who are not familiar with these apparatus, this here is a laptop computer and this is a projector.’’ She pointed at them both individually. “The projector does as the name says- projects images onto a surface. The images are stored on the laptop.’’ Kay powered on the two. “Now, I have five images here. I want each of you to name one and tell me what the five have in common.’’

A slide show began, putting pictures on the whiteboard at the front of the room. She allowed about ten seconds between each image so that the students could get a good look.

OOC: Howdy, guys! So class has officially started. Remember not to post any late arrivals, for those of you now joining, but simply pretend as though you and your charries have been here all along The lesson will resume in about 24 hours. If you have any questions, contact me via Skype/MSN, PM or VM! <3


Right... Pencil for Muggle Studies, quill for everything else, Fiyero thought, replacing his quill with the correct writing utensil. It looked like he'd be able to keep them straight by now!

He stared at the board as the slides appeared. He recognized all of the characters except the green-haired guy with - was that a wand he was holding? His classmates had already done a pretty good job pointing out that they were all cartoon characters. It didn't seem necessary to repeat it, but he didn't want Professor Stewart to think he wasn't paying attention. "They're all cartoon characters, Professor," he said after being called on. "The little yellow thing is Pikachu from an old cartoon called Pokemon. I think that one started in Japan..."

Text Cut: Question 2
"Well done, all of you. I am rather pleased to see that despite these animated shows being outdated, many of you are still aware of them.'' Again, this backed up her point about the shows being recommended by older folks. "The main focus for the lesson is hand drawn animation. But before I touch more on the subject of hand drawn versus technology aided animated shows, I would like each of you to tell me this: why did you or do you watch animated shows? Which is your favourite? Even if you never watched any, tell me why you never did.'' The reason she had stated earlier that she may be taking them back a few years was because Kay knew that some persons tended to watch animated shows up to a certain age. As they got older, their interests changed and they moved onto other hobbies. But others like herself, still would watch them. Hence they did not need taking back to their childhood.

OOC: I love the opinions of your charries, guys! Keep up the good work! The final question will be posted in approximately 24 hours. Questions? You know how to reach me


They were learning about animation today? Cool! this was going to be a fun lesson...

Cartoons had always been a big part of Fiyero's life. It was one of the few things his parents had in common. His mother, despite being a pureblood withc, enjoyed watching them (her favorites were the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons), but the real cartoon fan in the Jones family was his dad. He decorated his office with toys of old cartoon characters, and he even said he would've gone into animation if only he weren't so bad at drawing!

He thought for a minute before raising his hand. "My parents are both huge cartoon nuts, so they were sort of a permanent fixture in our house," he said. But which one was his favorite? So many choices... "I like almost all cartoons, but my favorite's Pokemon. It's action-packed, and my dad always takes a break from work to watch it with me..." His voice trailed off as he realized he was talking too much. Did his classmates really need to know about his relationship with his father?
