| | Muggle Studies Lesson I Professor Carter strolled into his classroom, propped the door open, then set down a stack of papers on his desk. "Ah. S'good to be back." He next layed down his textbook and opened it to a page roughly in the middle of the book for future reference during the class. Gazing at the chalkboard, he waved his wand and Welcome to Muggle Studies! appeared in a bright blue chalk. Hey, he wanted to mix things up sometimes. Normal white chalk was so overrated.
From his past experience teaching, Carter knew that holding a basket of treats at the door got tiring. He could always welcome the students from the comfort of his desk. So today, he walked around the classroom, setting a Muggle mint flavored chocolate candy on each of the student's desks. He just hoped no one would steal someone else's. Wandering back over to his desk, he leaned against it gently and patiently waited for students to arrive. He was so ready. |

| SnitchStealer <3 Chocolate Rain=Mmm! Ellie opened the door of the classroom with a smile on her face. "Hello professor." she said with a smile while she walked into the classroom then asked politely while she walked to her favourite desk . "How are you professor?"

| Fortress of Brilliance ღ Mommy Quad Entering the Muggle studies class room, the fourth year waved a warm hello to Professor Carter rather then saying anything, and took her normal desk towards the middle; figuring it be wise, Savannah took out her pen and notebook (pacifically for this class) and then set her bag at her feet, opening the orange cover to a clean white, blue-lined page.

Rapunzel entered Muggle Studies and immediately found a desk near the front. She always fround learning about people like her family was more interesting from a wizard perspective. And plus, there were cute little mints on the desk. "Yummmm," Punz murmured as she popped one in her mouth. "Theesh are good, Professhor!"

| Heart of a Claw "Hello professor" Austin said as he entered into the muggle studies classroom. He often found Muggle Studies interesting partly because he had lived as muggle for several years. |

| connoisseur of comfort ❅ Crayola's Wibby Mrs Alex Turner ❅ Netflix and meow Clifford wasn't himself anymore. He didn't feel himself, and he was beginning not to look like himself either having shrunk dramatically. His robes now looked huge on him.
He hated being indoors with a passion, but was trying his hardest to fight against whatever it was that was happening to him. He loved Muggle Studies, and he was going to go. Even if he did feel a little - different.
Smiling shyly, he sank into the seat beside Ellie completely ignoring the muggle sweet that was there. Why couldn't the Professor provide acorns? "Your student is here Smelly Ellie."

Ellie noticed Clifford sitting next to her. She raised an eyebrow at him when he seemed to not notice the muggle sweet. "Erm.. Hi Sweet Lemon.. I'm glad you are here.. But Carter is your teacher not me. " she told him with a small laugh. She had understood what the older boy was saying. Then she looked at him a little more concerned, the boy was weird today.. "Erm.. Cliff, there is a sweet in you desk..."

Belle skipped into the classroom and smiled at the teacher. "I hope you can make this class more interesting than the other teachers." She said cheerfully, giggling slightly. "This subject never really interested me." She shrugged and turned on her heel, looking for a place to sit. Once she found one in the back of the room, she plopped down in the chair and pulled out her quill and parchment.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Rilen Taylie Green Fifth Year | Taylie walked into the Muggles Studies class room and immediately noticed the candy. She walked over to her desk and sat down. She picked up the candy and added it to the other candy in her bag. While she waited for class to start she munched on a chocolate frog the Liam had given her earlier.

Clifford nodded and timidly looked toward the front of the class. He hoped noone else came in. Large crowds were scary, they made him feel paranoid and claustrophobic. "I think I need all the help I can get in this department though." It was true. And Ellie had been loads of help last term.
Nervously, he pushed the sweet toward Ellie and smiled. "Here, I'm not keen on sweets, you have it."

| be curious, not judgmental Carter smiled and nodded at each of the students that entered, greeting a cheerful "Good afternoon" to those who even decided to take notice of him standing there. One of his best Slytherin students seemed very distant today - he did not even acknowledge Kyle standing there. Ah, well. People have their off days.
"Hold tight, guys. We'll be starting shortly, I'm just going to give the ones who lost track of time a chance to get here before I begin," he told them cheerfully.
OOC: In the meantime, you could always read up on the class rules. It never hurts to refresh your memory.

Ellie smiled and nodded. "Sure Cliff. You know I'll help you if you ask for my help."
She had so much fun last term with this class, she hopped she would have just as fun, or even more this year.
Ellie raised an eyebrow, the older boy was definitively weird.. ignoring a sweet..something was really wrong in there. "Thank you Cliff..." she told him with a smile. "I think I'll eat it latter."
She took the sweet and put it inside her bag.
She wasn't going to eat it, she was with the stupid obsession that she couldn't eat sweets because of Quidditch.. because she needed to keep her good shape until the match. "Is everything alright Cliff?" she asked him.

| Wowza! "Hello Professor Carter!, How are you today?" Willow greeted, the moment she set a foot in the Muggle Studies Classroom. Obviously, Muggle Studies wasn't Muggle Studies without the candy that Carter gave them, so after taking seat and pulling her parchment and quill, she took the muggle mint with a grin and put it safely in her bag, so she could eat it once the class was over.
After taking a look around the classroom, Willow spotted Ellie who was sitting with weird Clifford, who for some reason, was looking weirder than usual. Regardless she waved at them both, and waited for the class to start.

Emily wandered into the muggle studies classroom. She smiled sweetly at Professor Carter and plonked herself next to Ellie and Cliff, unwrapped the chocolate on her desk and ate it. Yummy... “These are good.” She announced to no one in particular. She turned to Cliff and Ellie and grinned a chocolatey grin at them. Muggle studies was always interesting. “Lets hope we don’t have to do any sports today.” She whispered to the two… although she had quite enjoyed goof last year.

| SnitchStealer <3 Chocolate Rain=Mmm! The Slytherin girl noticed some more students walking into the class.
It was Willow and Emily.
She grinned to both girls. She really needed to talk with Willow.. last time they spoke the Ravvie was a little weird. "I hope we have sports today.." she said in lower voice.

Xana slipped into the class quickly. It seemed like she was always running late these days! She saw an empty seat and took it, smiling at the girls next to her- Emily, Willow and Ellie. She took out a parchment and eyed the candy on her desk but did not eat it. What was with all the professors handing out sweets lately?

| connoisseur of comfort ❅ Crayola's Wibby Mrs Alex Turner ❅ Netflix and meow "Yes - I'm fine." Clifford whispered, keeping his eyes on the Professor at the front of the class. He tensed his seat, clenching his fists when more yet more people walked into the classroom. This wasn't good. He felt trapped. Trapped and surrounded with no escape. The very thought caused him to twitch.
Attempting to maintain a steady breathing pattern he nodded. "I'm fine. Completely fine." He was trying to reassure himself.
Would the Professor mind if he asked to be excused early? He was too afraid to ask.

James perked up when he heard Cliff say he wasn't keen on sweets. "What are you talking about!?" He exclaimed. This was TRULY a disaster.

Emily smiled warmly at Willow before looking back at Ellie. “You’re kidding.” She whispered. Being made to play muggle sports was even worse than being forced to play quidditch - Ellie was an odd girl. But then again, she was half muggle so what did you expect?
She grinned at Xana. “Hello there. You not gonna eat that?” she asked pointing at the chocolate. Which really meant, “Can I have it?” Ems had managed to skip breakfast today. Her brain always went a bit funny if she didn’t eat properly.

| Wowza!
Deciding that she was not going to wait for the class to be over, Willow took out the muggle mints, and began to eat them. Muggles really know one thing or two about food..yummy
She grinned openly at Ellie, Emily and and older Slytherin girl that she was ure her name was Xana (Mostly because she was eating candies), and raised a curious eyebrow at the fact that Clifford wasn't eating candyyy?! Odd

| connoisseur of comfort ❅ Crayola's Wibby Mrs Alex Turner ❅ Netflix and meow People were looking at him. He could feel gazes from all directions and it was making him tense. Grinding his teeth nervously, he hid his clenched fists under the table and took deep, slow breaths, choosing to ignore James' weird comment.
What was wrong with not liking sweets? Nothing!
He could do this. He would get through Professor Carter's Muggle Studies lesson then he'd go back outside where he felt happiest.
Hopefully his plan would work.

| be curious, not judgmental Professor Carter smiled especially brilliantly at the sight of Willow. She made him proud to be a former Ravenclaw. "All right class," he announced rather thoughtlessly, "I guess we shall begin." With a wave of his wand, the door swiftly shut.
He scanned the classroom for a moment, waiting for everyone to settle down a bit. It took him a second to gather his thoughts once everyone was relatively silent. "Well then. Welcome to Muggle Studies, guys! My name is Professor Carter and you may call me. . . Professor Carter," he stated with a simple shrug. He had aimed to come up with something clever, but he sort of lost it along the way.
"Some of you think Muggles are boring. I'm quite aware of that, but I'd like to advise you that I attempt to make this class as interesting and fun as possible. So just bare with me. I'm a pretty laid back guy, but that doesn't mean you'll be able to take advantage of me. I'm not afraid to take away house points. Participation is the key in this class, though. If you participate in the lessons, you will earn house points. It's as simple as that."
He shuffled his feet around and adjusted his positioning as he continued to lean against his wooden desk. "Since this is the first Muggle Studies class of the term," he began, "I guess we need to briefly discuss the basics! Can anyone tell me what is a Muggle? Who are they? Feel free to be as brief or specific as you desire. Just try not to give an extremely long speech," he chuckled, subtly glancing at Willow for a quick moment as she ate her chocolate.

| Wowza! "Muggles are people pretty much like us wizards!" She said at once. "The only difference, is that they are not magical. Some of them, not even know of our existance" She said quickly, answering to the question. "Oh!, and some of them don't even believe in magic, either!"
