Default Muggle Studies Lesson: Making Smoothies


Located on the first floor is the classroom for Muggle Studies. It was November, yet a warmer day than usual. Through the open door, desks were paired together in twos, whilst Professor Feirgrund remained in front of a table with many bowls of fruit, vegetables, and other food assortments. Take a gander, speculate, maybe ask nicely for a sample, and find your seat before the lesson begins.



Where are we at?

Q1 - Greetings + First question.
A1 - Gathering ingredients.
Step 1 - Prepping ingredients.
Step 2 - Adding ingredients.
Final Step - Share and Mix your Smoothie.

OOC: Welcome! Class has already begun, but you can jump right in posting as if they were here all along. While this is the first RP class, IC-wise there have been many beforehand. Be sure to check the rules & canon info regarding this subject for extra OOC info.

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

Charlie thought his stomach gave a soft rumbling when he laid eyes on the fruit. As a budding professional Quidditch player, he had mostly trained himself to eat healthily; splurging occurred once in a while. “Hi, professor,’’ came the traditional greeting in Swedish before he switched to english. “Are you sharing any pineapple slices?” Those were Char’s favourite. With his mind wondering what today’s lesson would be all about, given the fruits and food, he got himself a seat.

Uh huh.

The guy was hungry now {even if he had eaten not too long ago}. Thanks, professor.

Dennis made his way to muggle studies, curious by the way the desks were pushed together in pairs. Meant partner work. Taking a seat by Charlie, while it was still open (because the last thing he wanted was to be stuck with a partner he didn't want), he took note of the fruit at the front of the classroom with Professor Feirgrund.

"Hi there professor," he greeted, "Are we learning about metaphors today? As in... we might all be sorted into two different houses, but in the end, we're all fruit." Was that corny? Perhaps.

Hope entered Muggle Studies class in her usual good mood and her attention was immediately caught by the sight of the bowls of food on the table. She stopped a moment to look it all over, noddling in pleasure at what she saw. "That's certainly some very nice produce you've got here, Professor." she said; as a country girl, she couldn't help admiring a nice- looking apple or carrot.

Seeing all the bowls of food made her think of home, in a nice way, and she continued on to her seat humming to herself.

Will entered the Muggle Studies in a fairly good mood and it got even better as he saw his best buddies eg Den and Char and lot's of fruit. Turning to their professor in charge first Will greeted "Hello Professor Feirgrund, can i please have a slice of water melon?" Making a beeline for the still vacant seat left near Dennis and Charlie he really hoped that they were going to be working in groups of three so that the golden trio for once could work together in a class. "Hi Den! Hi Char!" Will greeted his buddies with wide smiles as he got his stuff sorted on the desk.

Although Fynley was brought up in a Wizarding family with well-meaning jobs in the community, he wasn’t totally oblivious to the ways of the Muggle community. In fact one set of his grandparents were muggles and he had taken this subject as an elective in order to connect with them more now he was back in the UK and much closer to them.

He arrived at the classroom, offering a quick nod to the Professor first before glancing down at the fruit bowl. He wasn’t particularly in the mood for fruit right now and he didn’t have the inclination to ask what it was all about so off he went to find a seat. He spotted Will on a two person desk all alone so headed in that direction first. The two had seemed to bond over their mutual dislike of being the older brother and therefore responsible of their sisters actions even when they clearly weren’t. “Mind if I sit here?” he asked. He was talking to Charlie and another guy he hadn’t been acquainted to yet but he assumed they’d be working in pairs and therefore Will may have been stuck as the awkward third wheel in that situation.

MUGGLE STUDIES!

It was not exactly her best subject, but Anna kind of adored the subject anyway and that had all to do with Professor Feirgrund himself. Sometimes referring to him in her head as Professor Ameliorating Teddy Bear, Anna enjoyed Muggle Studies lessons and discovering new pieces to her life's puzzle and being really hands on with things without the distraction of magic. Magic was great, fantastic, and super important...but there was also something really nice and satisfactory about learning how to be independent from it too.

Skipping into the room as she always did, the third year's eyes widened and she literally dropped her school bag to the floor when she saw the wide array of fruits and delectable smells. "SMOOTHIES!?" she exclaimed as she bounced on her toes a bit and some of the stray buttons she had picked up and collected (things fallen off from people's uniforms and the like) sprung forth from her pockets and tumbled on to the floor. Oops. "Wait...are we going to be fruit ninjas!?"

Her birth dad had been recruited by them, ninjas, once. In case anyone was curious. It was the reason he had needed to leave her and her mum, for their own safety. The ninjas' mission was very dangerous and their lives could have been at risk if he had not left in the middle of the night the way he had. Mmmhmmm.

"Gotta admit though, professor," she continued while crouching down to collect the buttons she has accidentally misplaced. "Smoothies sound really good right now. They maintain body metabolism aaaaaaaaaand I heard they are pretty trendy with muggles sometimes. There are even like...like...little take with you everywhere mashing and mixing machines."

Because she had selectively forgotten the word 'blender' at the moment.

Oh...and hello everyone else! Once Anna had picked up all her buttons and returned her bag to her shoulder she offered everyone a double handed spirited wave.

From the moment Keighley stepped into the classroom and her blue eyes fell upon the paired up desks she sighed. Of course today of all days they had to be working in pairs (probably, most likely). The day she choose to make a quick run to the owlery first and not come directly here with Charlie. It was okay, she was a big girl and she wasn't going to sulk if someone was already seated beside him. Much.

It only took a second to spot Charlie and Dennis right beside him. And the two seats beside them were occupied as well. All of the boys got a smile from her as she sat down in the seat in front of Charlie. No worries. Wiggle fingers. Hi, hello.

"Hello, Professor," Keigh greeted softly when she was finally settled into her seat, her attention turning to the front of the room. This was when she now let herself take in all of the fruit and other food that was set out but she wasn't going to question it right now.

Warmer days always felt so much worse to be stuck in uniform all day. She'd rather be in something she LIKED and that expressed her individuality. But mainly she supposed because that was warm days made her want to only be outside and not stuck in classes. So warm day really equalled hooky. Which for the record she was begrudgingly not playing, as she made her way into the muggle studies classroom and glanced around at all the fruits laid out. Seeing that made her perk up a little bit and she glanced over towards Professor Feirgrund. "hello, sir! Are we having a picnic today?" Did he ALSO not want to work on warm days??

Because.. respect.

Seeing Anna ahead of her and a button still uncollected on the ground, Vera leaned down to scoop it up for the Hufflepuff before offering it towards her. "Missed one, Anna Banana!" Not her most original nickname to give, but it was cute and so was Anna and also she could literally see a banana.

Ve then moved further into the room and selected an open seat, not bothering to pull anything from her book bag until she was sure they'd need it. She was reaaaaally hoping for that picnic.

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

Brandon failed to realize what fruit said about the lesson plans. But he did crave fruit, or any food really. He was a growing kid and he was always starving. He slid into the seat by Anna. "Hi Anna. Hi professor. May we have some of the fruit? Please?" Yes, we. He wanted the fruit all to himself so he could eat all of it, but it was his instinct to get some for everybody anyways.

"Everyone in my family likes smoothies," he told Anna. "Sometimes my sister makes one for me and it's the best but I'm learning to make them myself." While his family wasn't entirely muggle, they had all been raised in the muggle world and he knew about blenders. They always made him nervous because he sometimes worried his hand would get chopped off. But then he remembered that the blenders had a safety switch and also he didn't generally put his hand near sharp things. He felt like he could make a smoothie by himself.

Having grown up in a family with several muggles and muggleborns, Desiree was pretty well-versed in the non-magical world. As such, she generally enjoyed Muggle Studies lessons. Between the subject itself and the warmer than normal weather, the dark-haired Hufflepuff was in a chipper mood today. She was all smiles as she entered the classroom, and her expression brightened even more as she noticed the fruits. They looked so good! She wondered if they were allowed to eat them.

“Hi, Professor Feirgrund,” she greeted with her usual smile and princess-like wave. “May I have a strawberry, please?” She wouldn’t be mad if he said no, but it couldn’t hurt to ask, right?

Bright blue eyes scanning the room, Desiree spotted an open seat beside Keighley and beelined in that direction. “Hey,” she greeted her older housemate. Cue the princess-y wave as she sat down…. And another wave for the people sitting nearby (Charlie and Dennis) “What do you think we’ll be doing with those fruits?” She already had a few ideas of her own. Maybe they’d be learning about muggle food prep techniques or nutrition… but that applied to everybody, not just muggles, didn’t it?

Muggle Studies was so BOOOOOORING. Sorry to say.

Alas, he was here, and FRIENDS were already here, TOO. Solly waved to Anna first, then to Brandon and Vera. Did those two count as friends yet? He, if course, wanted to acknowledge those guys before actually taking notice of the fruit in the room. He raised an eyebrow as he tried to think of ways food meant something other than food in the muggle world? Unless they had delicacies much like different cultures across the world did. If so - then he was interested.

He didn’t like fruit, though. Or vegetables.

Solly stood beside Anna, of course. “Hi.” He said. Oh!!!!! “And hi, Professor.” He didn’t always greet the professors before each lesson but felt a little twang of kindness and confidence today.

The nod was returned with one of his own. Feirgrund didn't mind the quiet ones.

Speaking of quiet ones, "No Fruit Ninjas today," Feirgrund could only smile as this one also happened to present ideas and facts of their own, "I agree, Miss Walles," It was nice seeing a student excited to attend a lesson.

Solly stood beside Anna, of course. “Hi.” He said. Oh!!!!! “And hi, Professor.” He didn’t always greet the professors before each lesson but felt a little twang of kindness and confidence today.
"Hello, Master Duck," E greeted in return. Whether of kindness or feeling obligated, it was welcomed.

It seemed as though enough time had passed with students coming in and what not. After waiting a few more moments Feirgrund went over to shut the door.

"Good day everyone," Addressing the class until the chatter died down, "As some have guessed we'll be using these fruits to make drinks together, particularly Smoothies," Then addressing the desks, "Before we start making some, can anyone share or provide the type of Smoothies or even drinks that Muggles in addition to us would likely consume?" There were no wrong answers or reactions here.. within reason.


OOC: Welcome, everyone! You can react/answer to either questions depending on character's background. Class has started now so any new posters can post acting as if they were here all along without IC consequences for late arrival. Next post will be around 24 hours from now.

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

Char cast Den a cheeky grin, the sort of grin that he reserved just for him and Will. Having one of his best buddies beside him during lessons was always welcome. Speaking of Will“Heya, Will. Can’t say that you look like a porcupine today.” See, that comment matched his cheeky grin. “Hey there, Fyn.” Char was one hundred percent sure Will would not mind having the Slytherin sit there. The Puff waved back to Anna, trying to suppress a laugh in the process. Truly! That girl was entertaining, regardless if she did not mean to be. Keigh, it seemed, had completed her trip to the owlery and had arrived for the lesson. Charlie sent her a finger wiggle right back. He got to admire the back of her head for the duration of the lesson, it seemed. “I’m with Anna. I’d love for the topic to be smoothies,’’ he told Desiree. Such healthy drinks they were! “What do you think?” Also, excuse him while he nommed on the slice of pineapple.

Smoothies it was! Nice guess, Anna. Now this was a Muggle Studies lesson Charlie could get behind. Even though the class was asked about Muggle drinks, he decided to stick it out with smoothies. There were so many types; his mind zipped through a list that he knew of even as he raised his hand. “There’s mixed berries and banana smoothie.” The main ingredients happened to be exactly the fruits in the name.

Well she was just a tad disappointed the subject for the day wasn't a picnic but... smoothies still seemed a good alternative so Vera decided to not let it show. Instead, she'd just focus on the question posed to the class at present. What type of muggle drinks?? Well she didn't think they had as much of a tooth for pumpkin juice as the magical kind but... hot chocolate seemed to be a universal. Though that seemed like TOO simple of an answer. Considering for a moment, one she'd heard of popped into her head and she raised her hand into the air. "There's something they drink called 'kombucha'. It's like... fermented and supposed to be healthy." But it sounded a little bit on the gross side if you asked her.

Being a muggleborn, Alfie had always found Muggle Studies pretty easy. After all, his whole family were muggles. He himself had thought he was a muggle for the first eleven years of his life. And when he was at home he was surrounded by only muggle things. Plus, some "muggle" things could be used by wizards as well. Like smoothies, which were apparently the topic of today's lesson. Smoothies were probably a muggle invention, but they could be enjoyed by wizards too. Thinking about smoothies so much was really making him want one. He hoped making and drinking them would be part of the lesson. He raised his hand. "Some smoothies are healthier than others. Like sometimes people use greens to make smoothies healthier. Or protein powder, which I think is supposed to help make you stronger."

Will was about to get up to get himself a water melon slice or two that Prof Feirgrund had said that he was welcome to when Fynley showed up by his side and distracted him. Smiling up at the boy that he had shared a summer trash can memory with Will gestured to the vacant seat "Hi Fynley! Of course not! Come sit down beside me. If we get to pair up for the activity maybe we can be partners?" Will had already come to the conclusion that pairing up was probably going to be in two's rather than threes plus he liked Fynley so they could make a good team too.

Casting his eyes over at Charlie for a minute he bowed his head at his buddy and rolled his eyes. "Thanks so much Char! I'm glad my hair looks normal today, and not foxy." It wasn't his fault that his hair had a mind of it's own and usually didn't stay flat no matter how much he combed it. Will was glad when the lesson began so he could turn his attention up front. After Alfie of the badgers had given his answer Will raised his hand, and said "I know the muggles like something called froosh smoothies that they eat for snack especially in summer time. The smoothies are made out of 100% natural fruit and no concentrate. The one I've tried contains strawberry, banana and guava it's pretty tasty."

Smoothies? Lydia wasn't sure how there could be a lesson on them, but she also wasn't complaining. At least this was something she felt she could handle. It was one of the reasons she'd kept this subject after OWLs. She needed a class that actually felt easy and doable among all the subjects she struggled with.

Plus, she liked smoothies. Not that she had them all the time, but maybe she should? Maybe they'd be useful to carry around for those times when she got so lost in playing her guitar that she forgot about dinner.

Anyway, that was beside the point for now. Right now, she had an answer to give for once. "There are also smoothie bowls," she said, raising her hand. "They're usually thicker than a regular smoothie, so you eat them with a spoon instead of drinking them. But they still use fruits and juice and other things that you use with a real smoothie."

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

Meredith dashed down the first-floor corridor while checking her watch. She only had 10 seconds to get to class, all she had to do was turn around this corner and go through the second door on the left. SHE COULD DO IT! Her schoolbag hit her back as she ran, and as she turned the corner, she noticed the Professor approaching the open door. She rushed past him, a Gryffindor Proud grin on her face, knowing she had just barely made it in time, and came to a halt next to an empty desk. She wanted to greet the Professor but was too preoccupied with catching her breath. If anything, he should commend her dedication!

Smoothies? She could use a smoothie right now. She looked at the numerous bowls in the front and only now noticed the fruit inside them. Were they actually going to make smoothies today?! "Best class ever" she mumbled before raising her arm. You don't need to use fruit to make a smoothie" Although she did prefer a fruit smoothie over anything else.

Ooooooooh was Brandon using the 'royal we'? She smiled wide at her friend, about a hundred stories bouncing around in her head at once, and nearly flung her arms out to give him a squishy kind of hug when she remember she was in class and not everyone liked being squished when they were. Besides, Brandon was sharing about his family and any squishing would have interrupted such important information. "I am sure you can," she encouraged while rocking back on to her heels and then up on to her toes. "Something with blueberries, perhaps? Your eyes remind me of ripe beautiful blueberries!" The Royal Blueberry. Eh, that was still missing some pizzazz. Work in progress.

Oh! If it wasn't Solomon the Valiant and not the Apologetic of the Glistening Waters! She probably needed to rework that too considering it had been some time since the whole fountain incident. Or maybe they just needed to go hang out at the lake sometime. Take one of the boats out. She would float that idea by him after class. "Hey!" she chirped and gave him a little playful nudge with her hip. The professor's encouragement caused her to blush a little and soon she had her arms looped through one of Solomon's and one of Brandon's (personal space? Didn't know them). "Hey...oh hey! If we are making something...we could be each other sous chefs!" she suggested, her tone becoming cutely shrill towards the end as she sort of tap danced in place. Not literally tap danced but...she was shuffling her feet a bit.

Giving herself a mental gold star, the Hufflepuffle could hardly contain herself when Professor Feirgrund confirmed that they were indeed going to be making smoothies today. Did that mean they were going to get their very own tiny fruit smushing mixing devices?! She still was not remembering the name...but it would come to her eventually.

"Oh! Oh oh!" Anna exclaimed while waving her one hand excitedly - and accidentally yanking Solomon's upward when she did. "Zinnia Shacklebolt, she is a famous quidditch player for Kenmare, has a whole recipe book for smoothies and one of her tips was to make the most of whatever in season and then you can add more year round things after. One I really like is made with blueberries, banana, coconut water, yogurt and flax seeds. I thought I wouldn't like there being seeds and that sort of texture in my drink...but it actually was very pleasant and added texture to what can be sort of a textureless thing if you blend it a lot or add a whooooole lot of liquid. Which kind of makes me wonder...are smoothies also juice? Or is juice a smoothie? Or can a smoothie become a juice?"

If you had a super watery smoothie that had been overblended...it drank like a juice anyway.

Well the mention of making smoothies, the presence of fruit definitely made sense to Nadia. As for the types of smoothies or other drinks that Professor Feirgrund was looking for, the second year had to think about it, at least to go for something that hadn’t been already mentioned before by another student. Anna at least certainly had some amusing thoughts on the matter. Well…what was the answer to THAT professor?

“How about a peach smoothie?” she suggested thinking it might be yummy. Ripe peaches certainly were all sweet and juicy. And messy. “Or something with grape?” Or is grape juice and wine the only drinks that could be made with that multicolored round tiny fruit?

Feirgrund kept his soft smile, nodding, "Ms. Shacklebolt does have an excellent book," As for her question, "Smoothies tend to have more fiber than Juice from the ingredients and in different forms as Miss Clarke mentioned with Smoothie bowls, "

"Grapes could be in a smoothie as well as peaches, yes," He nodded.

"Great responses, everyone." Feirgrund continued as he began to walk behind the table, "Best thing with Smoothies is on the variety you can make with fruits, vegetables, and other food items that would mix. They typically carry more fiber and nutrients with their thickness. We also happened to have vegetables, and other assorted food ingredients so you'll have the choice on which Smoothie you'll make. You're free to work alone or with a friend or two if you wish." That felt needed to be said as he lifted up a box with more items. The liquids. Pulling out boxes that carried little bottles of orange juice, various milk types, and regular water. Followed by plastic cups and gloves. And lastly the box that held the important item.

"Inside this box is the item that Muggles use with making smoothies typically. Blenders. Also known as Mixers, and Liquidisers. First developed early in the 20th century. Throughout the decades they've made various types such as Juicers and even a minature type for those on the go called Blendjets," As he opened up the box producing an old-fashioned Blender for students to see. "Don't worry, we'll be using a more recent version that doesn't require as many buttons, typically these buttons were used for serving other drinks besides smoothies,"

"For now think for a moment on what type of smoothie you'd like to enjoy. Then come on up and grab a liquid of your choice here. Orange Juice, Milk, and Water. There's other types of milk, such as skim, oat, and almond as well." Next, "Then select the fruit or vegetable items. There's also other food items such as chocolate, nuts, peanut butter. But do use the gloves here when handling the nuts in case any others have allergies to them." But in just case he did have a vial for emergencies. "You can use these plastic cups here to hold the ingredients in while taking it back to your desk. So when you're ready, come on up."


OOC: This is where you're just coming up to gather ingredients, questions are welcome, of course. We'll start mixing ingredients within 16-24 hours from now.

Glad that Will had accepted the request to sit next to him, the fifth year plopped himself down on the seat next to the Ravenclaw. He was just about to respond to the question about being partners for todays activity when the professor piped up and explained what was happening. Will instead got an affirmative nod and a friendly grin.

When Fynley has signed up for Muggle Studies in order to connect with his muggle grandparents further, he had not considered that making smoothies would be part of the curriculum. Not that he was complaining about the fact, the boy was still growing and any chance to throw something into his stomach whether it was healthy or not was appreciated. He of course didn’t answer the question proposed as he usually liked to stay silent when it came to that sort of thing, instead choosing to get involved with the practical elements of the lesson rather than all the theory.

The lesson moved on as they were asked to come collect their ingredients. The Slytherin turned to Will. “I don’t know about you but I really don’t fancy vegetables in my smoothie.” If he was going to enjoy a quick snack he’d much rather it be sweet than green. Up he got to collect an assortment of berries, banana, milk (it was a shame there was no ice cream) and a little bit of chocolate because why not?

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

Brandon wouldn't have minded a big squishy hug, as long as he was told about it first. "Are my eyes really like giant blueberries?" Nobody had told him his eyes were beautiful before, aside from his older sister commenting on them while she was painting. She thought everything was beautiful, so it didn't really count. But now that he heard his eyes were pretty, TWO WHOLE TIMES FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE, he thought it might actually be true. Maybe he should ask Xander and Evy if his eyes were pretty. He was sure they would say yes, though.

Anna... talked a lot. And did not believe in personal space very much. He sort of liked it, but he was glad it was Solomon's arm being yanked into the air and not his. Being dragged around suddenly made him super anxious. "I don't really put smoothies and juice in the same category," he said quietly to Anna.

"I suppose the three of us can work together." He was mostly saying this because Anna suggested it... he was not the biggest fan of Solomon, and group work was usually not his preference anyways. But he didn't mind them all working together. "Are we going to be making the same kind of smoothie, or different ones? I like mango smoothies." He definitely wanted a MANGO smoothie. They reminded him of being a kid, or at least the good parts of it where his sister would talk their dad into making smoothies with them and everyone would have fun and run around happily. He made a beeline for the mangos. No vegetables in his smoothie, please! Okay, okay, was there any yogurt here? He was pretty sure that yogurt went into this.

SPOILER!!: catching up
“Thank you,” Desiree beamed, taking a strawberry when the professor gave her permission. She nibbled daintily as she considered Charlie’s theory. Only when she finished her strawberry did she reply - because a lady does not talk with her mouth full! “I don’t know,” she said with a slight shrug, “but that sounds like a really fun lesson!”

Well, what do you know? Charlie and Anna were right; they were doing smoothies! This was going to be fun! Desiree considered the question carefully. The first thing that came to mind was her favorite smoothie flavor, white chocolate strawberry, but that wasn’t exactly the healthiest kind of smoothie. It was more like a milkshake really. Hold it… milkshakes, that was it! Professor Feirgrund said they could mention drinks that weren’t smoothies. Her hand went up, and she said, “There’s the milkshake. It’s about the same consistency as a smoothie but less healthy. It’s made with an ice cream base and, like a smoothie, can come in fruit flavors.” Was that anywhere close to on track? She hoped so!


Desiree watched intently as Professor Feirgrund pulled an assortment of items out of the boxes: cups, gloves, milk, juice, and… Her blue eyes widened. Was that thing really a blender? She was pretty familiar with kitchen equipment, but she’d never used one that looked like that! Thank goodness they’d be working with a more recent version!

What kind of smoothie to make? Desiree thought as she perused the ingredients on the table. Not a vegetable one, that was for sure! Not that she was completely against the idea, but she didn’t know what ingredient proportions to use to avoid the vegetable taste overpowering everything else. For a moment, she thought of making her go-to white chocolate strawberry smoothie but decided against it for two reasons. One, it was too easy, and two, if she was going to be a healer she should probably be careful about feeding people (including herself) junk.

She decided to try making a healthier version of her favorite smoothie. She’d need strawberries, of course, and maybe she could throw in some other kinds of berries too. Raspberries and blueberries went well with chocolate and strawberries, as well as with each other. She picked some of those and moved on to the chocolate, opting for dark chocolate as a healthier alternative to her usual white. Now there was just the matter of which base to use. Probably not orange juice because that might taste funny with the other ingredients, and probably something healthier than regular milk. In the end, she went with almond milk.

Was there anything else she should add? As her eyes scanned the table, a thought occurred to her. “Professor, do we have any protein powder?” she asked.
