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.

Savannah's hand raised, "Muggles are human's just like us, except they lack the magical abilities we have."

Ems raised her hand, "Muggles are non magical people."

"A Muggle is a person, human just like us except that, Muggles was not born into the magical world. A muggle is a person who does not have magical powers." Ellie said.

BanaBatGirl · 03-13-2008, 11:53 PM

Rapunzel raised her hand, a bit timidly, and swallowed her chocolate before she spoke.

"Er...Muggles are nonmagical folk, right? Just regular humans who usually have no idea the wizarding world exists." She emphasized usually....

Just then it dawned upon James. He needed to get to the headmistress. He raised his hand quickly stated "A muggle is a person that is incapable of making magic and are ignorant to the magical world. And Mr.Carter, I need to speak with the headmistress. It's super important." He said, his eyes glowing.

XanaSnape · 03-14-2008, 12:35 AM

"Muggles are our term for non-magical people outside our society, not to be confused with squibs, non-magical people within our society." Xana said.

Qaz was taking notes with her favorite gel pen. One of the things she liked about Muggle Studies was the chance to use Muggle Supplies. She got to play with her mechanical pencil and loved tearing pages out of her spiral bound notebook.

Alex raised her hand, and smiled, this class would be so easy for her. "A muggle is a human who can't not perform magic." She said, thinking back to the times when her mother was alive.

Carter grinned at the variety of answers and chuckled at a select few. "Good, very good! Points to all of you." He turned to a Ravenclaw student that requested to speak to the Headmistress. "Can it wait until class is over? I mean, you're already here..."

Kyle tilted his head to one side at his glowing eyes. If the boy needed to speak to the Headmistress, why didn't he just go before class? It did not make sense. And plus, in Carter's opinion it was probably more important to be earning points for Ravenclaw, considering the fact that they were in second place.

"So yes," he continued for the moment, "Muggles are non-magical humans, to put it quite simply. They cannot perform magic in anyway. And yes, Muggles generally have no idea that we exist, or they simply don't believe in magic. But that's just the way they've been educated, so don't hate them for not knowing the truth." He was really into making these kids like Muggles after hearing that a vast majority of the students believed they were dumb.

"As you returning students remember, last term's topic was Muggle sports. This term, we shall not be doing so many stressful activities," he chuckled upon remembering a few Slytherin students who did not approve of playing sports at all. "Instead, we will be learning about Muggle transportation. Today's lesson is about land transportation."

He cleared his throat, waved his wand, and glanced at the chalkboard that now read Muggle Transportation on Land. "If you plan on taking notes, I suggest you prepare your materials if you have not done so already." He waited a few moments, then went on.

"All right. To start off, can anyone name some forms of transportation that Muggles use to get from place to place on land? Anything you can think of. Somethings you may think of wizards may use too, and that's okay. Go ahead and name some."

"Cars, bikes.." Willow said once more, with her hand in the air.

Prongs999 · 03-14-2008, 01:40 AM

James gave in. Fine. He would wait. "Buses, trams, and trains" he said, hand raised.

moonchic07 · 03-14-2008, 01:41 AM

Alex took out her materials and raised her hand. "Some muggles who have a license can drive an automobile, or cars. Those you don't, mostly younger muggles will ride bicycles around." She said.

Waddles · 03-14-2008, 01:41 AM

Juniper raised her hand. "Muggles use cars, trains, buses, their own feet, bikes, motorcycles, and other things too," she said. She may have been raised strictly pureblood, but she knew plenty about Muggles too.

DeathEater24601 · 03-14-2008, 01:44 AM

"They use airplanes and ships as well, sir." Dia answered.

Torchwood · 03-14-2008, 02:06 AM

Qaz raised her hand and added, 'They also use scooters, skis, ice skates, roller skates, skateboards, snow shoes and dog sled.'

jesusfr33ke2010 · 03-14-2008, 02:33 AM

"Most muggles use automobiles such as cars or buses, but there are also more physically active transportation methods such as bikes, rollerblades, and skateboards. Althought wizards and muggles have some similar transport methods such as the Knight Bus, wizarding transport uses spells to enhance the travel. There are also unconvetional methods such as riding horses and scooters." Austin's knowledge of both worlds seemed helped him in this class

beautifulmine · 03-14-2008, 02:36 AM

Alexis raised her hand "muggles have many forms of transportation trucks, cars, bus's, trains, chairlifts etc... but my favorite is the scooter, there so cool."

Lissy Longbottom · 03-14-2008, 02:59 AM

"There are also things called Mopeds, which are a lot like scooters," Emma added as she raised her hand, "They fit two people and are a lot like motorcycles, only they go slower and are used in more European countries," she explained.

XanaSnape · 03-14-2008, 03:17 AM

Muggles use all kinds of transportation. They often use cars or mini-cars and neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) to get around as well as Segways, and rollerblades or skates, bicycles, motorcycles, subways, light rail, riding horseback, horse-drawn carriages, ferryboats, cable cars, and so much more.

relly1611 · 03-14-2008, 06:29 AM

Jess raised her hand: Muggles have got various means of transport; they use cars very often, and as for public transport, busses and trams are the most common. Motorbikes and bikes are popular among young people. Other means of transport, for longer distances, are trains, planes, helicopters and ships.

Miss Poirot · 03-14-2008, 06:49 AM

Bess raised her hand and said, "Apart from the mordern means of tranport like buses, cars etc., muggles earlier used to use bullock carts .... even tractors in the rural areas. Bullock carts are cart like things driven by animls ... poor things .... tractors are huge machiene like vehicals that are used in the farms."

SilverTiger · 03-14-2008, 09:29 AM

Rhiannon racked her brain for a Muggle mode of transportation that hadn't already been mentioned. She mentally cursed the fact that her remaining family, even though her uncle was a Muggle, hadn't really done a lot of Muggle things. Especially since her uncle was away a lot.

Ultimately, she gave up trying to come up with anything, and just started taking notes.

Waterloo · 03-14-2008, 12:03 PM

Transportation? Clifford knew some stuff on muggle transportation, well, he thought he did. "They use flying machines." He said eagerly, raising a hand. "But that's not land.." He corrected himself thoughtfully.

"Ooh! That crazy machine that shoots around tunnels under the ground!!" His last words came out some strange high-pitched squeak and he clamped a hand over his mouth, embarrassed. Okay, that was strange. Wasn't he voice supposed to get deeper as he got older? Not squeakier!

SilverTiger · 03-14-2008, 06:46 PM

Rhiannon looked at the third year Slytherin who had just spoken. He had sounded kind of weird when he finished speaking, but she ignored that for now. She was happy she finally knew something, and spoke to him. "You mean the subway?"
