Rave nodded to Professor Light as she came in and took a seat near the back of the class.

Harry entered the classes and greeted the professor"good afternoon, professor"he said,and took a seat at the back of the class

Kay walked into the classroom and sat down quietly at a seat near the front of the room.

Professor Light jumps off her desk and claps her hands to together with a nod. "Alright then I knew this lesson would be small, so that makes it perfect. I plan on this lesson being as long as you all make it."

Professor Light looks at the students faces as they give her a, "Wha?" type of look. No matter.

"Anyway, the plan for today is to do a what we did for a little bit in last lesson, but this time I'll interject my input and such and have us stay on topic." Professor Light smiled at the students and move to the board. She tapped it with her wand.

Today's subject: Muggle Creations

"Most of you should remember at least slightly that the last two lessons included cooking and cleaning. In this lesson, I want you to dive and think about just what goes into a muggle creation. This WILL be on your final, worth 55 house points, but if you actively contibute today and pay attention, it will be the easiest 55 points all year. I daresay many of you could use those points?" she trailed off.

Harry raised his hand."Professor,what do you mean by what goes into a muggle creation?"he asked politely

Professor Light smiled at the boy, "Why, thank you for asking, that's exactly what I was going to have us define next!"

Professor Light looked around the room. "Can anyone tell me what they think a "Muggle-Specific-Creation" is, and why it is called that? I'll give you a hint... the object we covered extenively last week is an example of one."

Madlyn raised her hand and timidly answered what she felt a muggle specific creation was. "Professor. Wouldn't a muggle specific creation be something that they have made from scratch to help them in their day to day lives. Like the feather duster that was mentiond last time and cooking utensils. they use them like we do, but they have to work with them instead of leaving them to work on their own. They also use their own sort of magic, electricity to make things work on thier own for them like the microwave. "

saeda raised her hand.Is a Muggle-Specific-Creation something
that muggles specificily created like
machines saeda asked.

Amber listened intently to what the teacher had to say, and thought about what a "Muggle-Specific-Creation" actually was.

"Perhaps," Amber began, "A Muggle specific creation is one that we as wizards do not use. Such as their computers or electricity?" she suggested.

Kay raised her hand. "What about those weird thingies that Muggles flip back and forth to turn on eckeltricity?" she asked and then realized her blunder. "I mean electricity, and I think they are called switches," she added quickly and blushed at her ignorance.

Sebastian raised his hand. "A Muggle-specific-creation would be an item that was entirely thought up and created by muggles. One example could be..."

He thought back to his neighbor's house and what was in it. "The computer...?"

Jordana raised her hand and said, "Professor, would a Muggle Specific Creation be a vacuum cleaner. After all it is a very common and useful Muggle device. My mother uses it all the time." She said with a laugh. "Its actually pretty cool." she nodded her head. "Umm.... a vacuum cleaner is a household appliance for cleaning floors, carpets, and upholstery by suction."

Rose raised her hand and stated the obvious definition. She was surprised that no one else had said it. "A Muggle Specific Creation is a Creation Specified for Muggles. Like mikrowave."

Rose raised her hand. "A muggle creation would be anything thought up by muggles to fill the void left by their inability to perform magic. Where wizards can charm a broom into sweeping itself, muggles would need to physically do it, so they invented a vacuum, which sucks up dirt and such."

Professor Light beamed at all the wonderful answers.

"Excellent, all correct. Basically, it's an object that was created by Muggles and is only used by Muggles. Unlike a wand which only wizards can use, or a spoon which both Muggles and Wizards can use, these creations are specific to Muggles only."

Professor Light looked around the classroom. "Now, you all named some very good Muggle-specific inventions... computers, TV, vacuums... But what I want to know form you guys is what you think about Muggle creations as a whole... I guess my question is, who is the better creator... a Muggle or a Wizard?"

Professor Light smiled at the students and looked around the room, ready to hear some insight on a long argued topic.

Brittany raised her hand, "Well- it all depends on your view point, doesn't it? Muggles make extremely good inventions without the use of magic like computers and i-pods where wizards make useful items too but are equiped with magic like wands." Brittany took a deep breath and hoped her answer made sense. "So what I'm saying is that both actually make good inventions its just wizards have had it a little easier than muggles. Muggles have figured out all this new high-tech stuff like electricity while wizards just have to flick their wand for some stuff."

Amber raised her hand. "Well, it seems to me that Muggles have had to sort of fend for themselves. We are inherently born with the ability to do magic. But they have had to be inventive and think up ways to do things we can do with the flick of wand." she said. Now that she gave it some thought, she realized how interesting the Muggle world must be.

Jordana sat and contemplated the Professor's question. Jordana raised her hand and said, "Well seeing how muggles depend on their brain power alone, and creativeness, I would say that Muggle's are the better creator. They use their own sweat and knowledge to come up with everything that they have created. That's a lot of hard work and its something to admire. Wizards have a wand and everything just seems a lot simpler. Granted we have to learn how to use our craft, and that in itself requires work and effort, but I believe that Muggles have it tougher and they just seemed more inclined to create more efficient and powerful things than us." Jordana looked around and was entirely sure that she believed what she had just said, but she was torn between the question. She had a hard time picking because her dad is Wizard and her mother is a muggle.

Madlyn raised her hand and agreed with Amber. The things that wizards can do with their wands is excellent. But I have to say that based on the fact that muggles have had to create by sheer brain power things to help them through everyday life. Based on that I would say that they are the better creators because they have to do everything by hand initially to create whatever it is that they want to use to help themselves where we only think of it and flick our wands.

Phoebe raised her hand. "I think that muggles have a much harder life. But they don;t know it. Wizards don;t give muggles any credit. Many things wizards have taken from muggles and altered it with a bit of magic to suit there needs. Muggles create everything using there own knowledge and the knowledge of others. It is much harder to make something being a muggle than a wizard. Even though wizards need to know how to bre potions and cast spells it is much simplier to learn many spells than create a microwave for instance" Phoebe said expressing her thoughts.

Alanna raised her hand. "Considering the fact that Muggles have been sheltered from the Wizarding world, but that Wizards can learn from Muggles, I'd have to say that Muggles are the better creator. We are born with the ability to do magic, and although we have to memorize spells and such, a lot more brainwork is done by the Muggles. Wizards have done a fair amount of brainwork themselves, but Muggles have done more with their mind, and less with flicking their wrists and making things happen."

Lissie thought for a minute.
"Well, Professor, i would think that wizards are because we can create most anything. we have a wider variety of inventions with a wider amount of knowledge."

Professor Light listened intently. She knew that at times like these, it's best to let the students voice their own opinions, and not to feel influenced by a teacher's thoughts.

Finally, one girl voiced an opinion that wizards were actually the better creators. Professor Light took this moment to jump.

"Ah, finally some difference of opinions. I actually agree with you all that Muggles are the better creators, but remember, there is no right or wrong answer. So let me play Devil's advocate for second here. It may seem to many of you the wizards just flick their wands and out comes a spell, but remember this, spells did just appear out of nowhere. People created those spells, and spent years perfecting them. Nowadays, we have institutions and schools that teach these spells, so for you guys it may seems as though all that needs to be done is the opening of a book to learn, but remember, our spells were just as complicated if not harder to come up with."

Professor Light stared out at the classroom, and smiled at the disruption in the almost fluent opinions she had seen. "Remember, I said that I agreed with most of you. So now I want you guys to prove me wrong. Or you can change your opinion. Just because I agreed doesn't mean I was right either..." she trailed off with a sneaky smile.

OOC: The Final Exam has been posted, however keep participating here as well. This thread will be left open until June 21st for debate, and this is a great spot for getting ideas for the final.

After raising her hand Madlynn added "I get your point professor, and agree on the fact that the spells that we take for granted were once thought up by someone and worked on to prefect and that is no easy task. However, Muggles have had to do much more hard labor to get where they are today, where as what past Wizards and Witches would have had to do is intense mind work. Unless i am much mistaken, Muggles, though they have progressed and have a lot of machinery doing the work for them, they still have to do so much by hand, even repairing those machines to continue to work for them. And all in all they have had to use brain power and muscle power to get where they are, and we use mostly brain power." Madlynn relaxed in her seat, hoping that her point was clear and waited to see what others would have to say on the subject. Having grown up in a muggle home, she always was more simpathetic towards muggles than others who knew little of how muggles live.
