Default Muggle Studies Lesson 1: Out in the Cold

A blanket of snow covers the grounds, and the sky is still mostly overcast from the remaining clouds that brought the past few days' snowfall. Occasionally the afternoon sun manages to peek out from behind the clouds as you make your way to today's Muggle Studies lesson. The pathways are clear, and an additional makeshift one has also been cleared to lead you to the place on the grounds sectioned off for the lesson.

Dressed in layers to stay warm, Professor Rosalie Applewood stands at the place where the cleared-snow trail meets the "classroom": to her left, you may notice a tarp covering something - or many somethings? - sitting on top of a second tarp on the ground. To her right are four long log benches placed around a large fire pit - though it is currently lacking a fire, and wood for that matter. On the other side of the fire pit and benches are a cluster of trees. The area is otherwise quite open. And snowy. There has been no effort to clear the snow around here, only for the path that leads the way here.

Even so, come on over and take a seat on one of the benches. Class will begin shortly.


OOC: Hi, everyone! Welcome to Muggle Studies! Although this is our first lesson OOC, please bear in mind that there would have been several IC lessons prior to this point in the term. And don't forget to check out the class rules if you haven't already. The lesson will begin approximately 24 hours from now. The lesson has begun!

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

Cold. So cold.

Claudine muttered a Heating Charm so that her bundle of clothing would be warm for the weather. As the warmth enveloped her, she breathed a sigh of relief before continuing her way along the paths. What could be today’s topic that the lesson had to be held outside and not indoors? As she arrived at the section where the lesson was to be held, her dark gaze swept over the tarps. What could be under those? Hmmm.

“Hi, professor.” Claudine shot Applewood a smile then moved towards one of the benches. Might as well get comfy.

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

Ash was counting down the days until winter break. It seemed to take forever and ever. That really sucked, cause she wasn't feeling awesome... to be honest, she didn't feel okay at all. But going outdoors helped. That made the cold more bearable. "Hey, Professor." Ash took a seat next to her big sister friend Claudine. She was sad right now, but sad-and-getting-happier was a million and one times better than sad-and-getting-worse.

Violet was distracted, ever since she'd gotten that letter from home. Bundled warmly against the snow, she nevertheless strayed from the path once or twice, lost in her thoughts, and her feet were getting a bit soggy. She could have cast warming and drying charms on them if she'd noticed, which she did not. Arriving at the place set aside for the lesson, she absently greeted the professor: "Hello, Professor Applewood," and wondered inwardly why so many of the professors had decided to hold lessons out of doors now that the weather was turning cold.

dream until your • dreams come true ~ Human pygmy puff

What was up with all of the outdoor lessons this term? Normally Jordyn was all in for some outdoor fun, but it was waaay to cold for her liking. She had learned the hard way that it was better to have on too many clothes than not enough. Bundled up like Randy from the muggle movie “A Christmas Story”, she had no intention of being uncomfortable during class.

“Hello Professor”, Jordyn said, once she arrived at the outdoor classroom. Then she found a spot on one of the benches and prepared to think warm thoughts.

Evan really liked Professor Applewood, really he did. But it was still hard for him to be so gungho about the new Professor when truth be told - the class just wasn't the same without Professor Schmoe. He missed his previous head of house a fair bit. But changes were unfortunately inevitable so he really was attempting to just adjust to this particular one. Afterall, Muggle Studies was still his favorite. It was nice to be reminded of just the sheer normalcy of the subject.

Making his way to the meeting place on the grounds, he stopped to offer a small smile to Professor Applewood with a "Good evening", before making his way to a bench and finding himself a seat. It was pretty cold, but he'd bundled a bit of his plain clothes under his uniform in order to make sure he wouldn't be shivering during the lesson. He eyed the covered objects with some interest, before settling back and waiting for class to begin.

SUMMER FOREVER

Another lesson outside the castle!! This was not acceptable! But, unlike last time, Valentina casted a warming charm on herself so she wasn't so cold this time around. She did wonder what they were going to be learning, though. Something related to art presumably??

"Hi, professor." She greeted with her usual bright smile, making her way to one of the benches.

The Professors were trying to torture them! It was the only explanation. The cold might've been tolerable had she used heating charms and insulation spells, but um. She didn't want to try and fail. Her spells often tested the line between total dud and minor forest fire, so. It wasn't worth it. Especially not when she was wearing one of her favorite coats.

So with chattering teeth and mighty strides through the snow blanket on the ground, Kins made her way to the "classroom" looking like a total Gryffindor-flavored ice lolly. "H-h-hi, P-p-professsor." It was cold outside, did she know? And no!!!!!! Kinsay Cassandra James was not being dramatic!!!!! Ok. So. Maybe a little bit. "Respectfully, Professor Applewood, can we never do class outside ever again?" Or only when it was sunny?

Maybe she could ask Sera to talk to her mum about it. Professor Applewood might listen to her more. Hm.

Building herself up tightly, and hiding her gloved hands under her armpits, Kiz made her way to sit near her fellow fourth years: Evan, Jordyn, and Valentina. How they were not shivering also was BEYOND her. Maybe they'd learn how to set themselves on fire today. That might help.

The grounds always looked so pretty after a snowfall. It was like being in a whole different world as she moved along the pathway, taking in the scenery around her that was now blanketed in fluffy white snow. She wanted more than anything to jump right in it, honestly, but she reminded herself that she was a seventh year now and seventh years set good examples. Good examples like showing up to class on time and not being completely covered in snow when you did so.

...Sometimes being a seventh year was hard.

"Hello Professor. Beautiful day, isn't it?" The cold didn't bother Cece much as her inability to sit still for long kept her almost as cozy as her multiple layers of clothing did. The blonde gave Kizzy's head an affection pat as she made her way by the younger girl and then she found herself a spot on an empty bench and waited, knees bouncing in anticipation. Class would be starting soon, yes?

Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll

Heath shivered slightly, jamming his hands into his pockets as he walked to muggle studies. First herbology, now this. What was it with the professors holding classes outside in the cold? Reaching for his wand, he mumbled a heating charm under his breath. There, that was so much better- and just in time too! His dark eyes scanned the classroom area as he approached, taking in the tarps and empty fire pit. He wondered what those were for! Oh well, he supposed he’d find out in time.

“Hello, Professor,” he greeted with a polite nod of acknowledgement. Three months into the school year, and it still felt weird not to see Professor Schmoe here! He wondered if that would ever change between now and his graduation. Probably not, he thought. The worst part was that he never got the chance to tell Schmoe that he was no longer angry over his imprisonment in The Room. Did he know, wherever he was?

Never mind… Now wasn’t the time to think about it. Heath shook his head to make those thoughts die as he took a seat on the bench with Claudine and Ash. “Hi,” he greeted the pair.

Phoebe bounced into the lesson area, in spite of the temperature. Snow? Ice? Freezing temperatures? This girl was going to bounce - in fact, the temperature sort of made it necessary. There better be a pretty good reason that they all had to be out here in the winter weather.

"Good cold day, Professor," Phoebe waved at the professor before dropping onto a bench beside Cece. Her roommate go a little chilly cuddle. "Cute boots. Are your toes warm?"

Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!

Margaret loved classes outdoors. Even when it was snowy. Maybe especially when it was snowy, because she had her gloves that had been charmed to keep her warm. Of course, she wasn't relying solely on that. No. She had on, like, boots, and a coat. And a hat. And a scarf.

It was really cold, and she didn't know if she'd be able to keep her gloves on.

"Good day, Professor!" she said cheerfully as she looked around and spotted Jordyn under all her layers. She took a seat on the bench next to her dormmate. Nudging her, she grinned. "Are you warm enough?"

LISA LIKED PROFESSOR APPLEWOOD VERY MUCH! She made it easy to adjust to Muggle Studies after her former Head of House’s betrayal- errr- departure. “Hi Professor Applewood! How are you?” she asked arriving in a good mood before choosing to sit next to her brother. It was c-c-cold but she was glad to have brought her kittens with her. She huddled close to her brother and whined. “Evannnnn it’s so cooooollld.

Ah, here came the first student now! Always so punctual, this one was. It was great to see.

"Hello, Miss Blaze," Rosalie said, returning the smile.

Another student who seemed a bit lost in thought, but hopefully everything was alright. Rosalie smiled at her. "Hello, Miss Blackthorne."

This young Ravenclaw seemed extra prepared, maintaining his uniform even with the extra layers for warmth. "Good evening, Mister Nam," Rosalie said with a smile. It wasn't quite evening yet, more mid-afternoon, but even with the sun peeking out on occasion, it did feel like it was later in the day to her too.

It was always wonderful when the students came in smiling and looking ready for the lesson ahead. Rosalie's smile brightened as well. "Hello, Miss Nichols."

Oh dear, this one looked like she might freeze solid at any moment, even with the right clothes for the occasion. "Hello, Miss James," Rosalie said, offering a smile. "I can't promise to never do so. But I can promise you all won't have to sit for long." They would be moving around very soon, so hopefully the young Gryffindor didn't freeze before then.

The older James was certainly less frozen-looking than the younger as she practically bounced down the path. Rosalie smiled. "Good day indeed, Miss James." And cold, certainly, but still a good day.

"Hello, Miss Nam." Rosalie smiled. "I'm doing well, thank you, and you?"


Once the students were all seated and there were no more coming down the pathway, it was time to begin.

"Thanks for coming, everyone. Let's get started then, shall we?" Rosalie smiled. The snow crunched under her boots as she moved a little bit away from the path to a spot where she had a better view of them all.

"I know it's rather cold out here today, but I'm glad to see you all came prepared. Preparation and planning ahead are an important aspect of today's topic. You'll all be moving around soon too, which will help you stay warm as well, once we get further into the lesson. But before we get there, I have a few questions for you." Hopefully they didn't mind.

"I'd like you to tell me about an experience you've had while camping. Did you enjoy it? Why or why not? And if you haven't been camping yourself, why do you think other people enjoy it?"


OOC: First question's up, which means the lesson has begun! Even if you didn't get to post your character arriving, feel free to still jump on in! Just pretend your character's been here the whole time, unless you want to lose points by RPing arriving late. Class will move on in approximately 22-24 hours from now.

He could see some of his other fourth year's sit on the bench as well, and while he debated offering greetings he was interrupted from this thought when his youngest sister plopped down next to him and huddled for warmth. Her complaint of being cold earned a small eyeroll, but it was more fond than anything. He removed his top scarf, wrapping it around Lisa to give a little extra warmth as Professor Applewood started the lesson. "That should tide you over until we're moving." He whispered to her, before turning his attention back to the lesson.

Wait. They were talking about camping??? This was certainly right up his alley. He actually grinned a little, before turning to look at Liss and catch Maya's eye as well. Camping was certainly something they knew about.

His hand raised in the air and waited to be called on. "We go camping every summer. Sometimes for the beach, sometimes in the woods. I've always enjoyed it because hiking is a great source of exercise and it gives a nice sense of solitude. It's quiet in the woods, and sometimes it's just you and some cute woodland creatures."

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

Ash was thrilled that Heath and Claudine were sitting next to her. She smiled at them. Ash was NOT thrilled about camping, for various reasons. Were they going camping? Nooo. It was cold out. And camping sucked in general.

“I went camping once when I was seven and it was fine. It was an experience. But now, I would like to never go camping ever and if someone asked me to, I’d say no.” Helpfully, she didn’t explain WHY. She didn’t explain it cause she didn’t want to. She could bet that nobody here wanted to know why anyway. “I guess some people really like sleeping on the ground outside and making food with a campfire?” Ash couldn’t imagine why.

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

Claudine watched as Ash greeted Professor Appleby then took a seat next to her. Observing the younger girl, she realised that Ash was off. Meaning that this wasn’t the Ravenclaw’s usual happy personality. Claudine moved to bump her lightly on the arm with an elbow. “You okay there?” Hearing Kinsay’s words, she turned her attention to the Gryffindor and Appleby. “I agree with Kinsay, professor,’’ she called nonchalantly, her breaths rising in little puffs before her. Thank goodness for Heating Charms. Speaking of… well, Heat with an H at the end… the Snakette smiled at the boyfriend. “Hi, you.” Good to see that Heath wasn’t frozen to a popsicle.

They would be moving around? Then there was a possibility that Claudine might need to lift the Heating Charm from her clothing. She’d see how that would go when that bridge popped up before her. The seventh year gave Ash a pitying look; it was sad the younger girl had negative experiences with camping. “It helps people get away from their everyday lives,” she volunteered, lowering her hand as she was called upon. “It can help them to be more relaxed and recharged.”

Cece leaned into Phoebe’s cuddle, offering her best a big smile as she wiggled her boots. ”That’s the best part about these. My friend toes are toasty warm.” Boots that looked cool and kept your feet from freezing? A major win in this seventh year’s book.

To be honest, camping was not what she’d expected to be learning about today. She’d certainly never gone camping in snow before, but she had plenty of other experiences to speak on. ”I like the whole sleeping under the stars thing best. Plus when you’re out in nature, you really talk with the people you’re with, you know? And you have to work together to set up camp. Camping is a good bonding experience.”

Camping! Violet had never been camping, either with Wizards or Muggles. She had no idea what it was like, or why anyone would do it. But she hazarded an answer: "I guess maybe because they want to get away from things and people--distractions, you know."

Camping. Margaret loved camping. Her family went, most summers. It was her favorite and she wished they could do more of it.

She would definitely be in favor of camping on the Hogwarts grounds, if that was allowed.

She raised her hand. "We go camping every year, too!" she said brightly. "Food tastes better and you sleep better when you're camping. I think it's because of the fresh air," she added thoughtfully. And maybe the exercise, too, like Evan had said. She didn't know that all those Nams liked camping too. "Plus, if it's raining, it's like a little nature lullaby."

SUMMER FOREVER

Camping?? Valentina thought for a moment but nooope. Her family had never taken her camping. Summers were usually spent at the beach. She wasn't sure if it was her thing either... couldn't see herself enjoying it at all.

"I haven't gone camping but I think people like it because fresh air?? And also, to connect with nature in a way.

Lisa offered Professor Applewood a smile and a nod and folded her arms as she was cold. Her chips chattered.

Evan was a really good brother, y’know??

She beamed as Evan wrapped her up in the scarf and then leaned into her brother for warmth. She wrapped her arms around his sides, squeezing him as she gave him a hug before standing up to pay attention to class. Lisa felt warmer already.

At the mention of camping, Lisa’s eyebrows shot up and she couldn’t help but the glance that Evan sent her way. SHE WAS SUPER EXCITED TO BE DISCUSSING CAMPING. She knew loads about camping because the Nam’s had gone so often. Well… the last time they had gone was to introduce their new adopted sister which didn’t go over so well……. Errr… and poor Noah had just come back from Hogwarts after losing a lot of wait. That was the start of skeleton-esque Noah. Fortunately he was okay in the end. Solana…. She missed. Camping brought memories of family fun as well as sad moments too…

Like Evan said, we go camping every summer. It’s fun and an inexpensive holiday. Cheaper than a hotel room,” she said, taking a business minded approach. “Camping can be fun but if you’re not fully prepared… it can be a disaster.

Camping? Camping could be the BEST, but it could also be the most miserable of experiences. Bugs and rain leaking in the tent and skunks and hot sun and bitter cold. Maybe more chance of misery than pleasure, but Phoebe had more than a few fond camping memories, at least.

"I like cooking food over a fire. I don't know why, but I think it tastes better."

Heath had just enough time to return Ash and Claudine's smiles before the lesson began. He turned his attention to the professor as she spoke. Oh, so preparedness and planning were important for today's topic? He wondered what that could be and - wait, what? Camping? Was that what they were doing? If so, Professor Applewood couldn't have picked a worse time of year for it!

As Heath heard the question, his thoughts immediately turned to the camping trips his family used to go on when he was a kid… back before his siblings and cousins all settled in their careers and moved away. It appeared that after so many trips, he'd have the whole camping thing down, but everyone else was so much better at it than him! At least camping provided some good stargazing opportunities. That was his favorite part - well, that and one other thing.

He raised his hand and said, "Some people like camping because it's a shared bonding experience with family and friends." He was too shy to tie that into his own camping experience, but he hoped his answer would suffice without it.

dream until your • dreams come true ~ Human pygmy puff

Jordyn watched as the rest of the students arrived. She wondered what they would be working on in their outdoor class. She had only given it a little thought when the professor called the class to order. When the first question was posed, Jordyn smiled. Camping. Yes, she had some thoughts on that subject.

The Hufflepuff raised her hand and when her turn came, she began to speak. ”I go camping with my mom sometimes. We go to the beach and the mountains. I really like camping. It’s fun and peaceful, being outside with nature……..but, it is definitely not as cold as it is here.”
