EEP!

So...she definitely had not been expecting that, which ultimately, made her jump in her seat and sit up straight, heart pounding and GLARING at the Professor. Yea. Way to kill her with a heart attack before class even started!

Slumping in her seat, she yawned for a moment before thinking over what he said. Muggle world. Bleh. They had HORRIBLE jobs, especially the one that she witnessed during the summer. "They work at these models or whatever they're called." she said after raising her hand before trying to correct herself. "Hadels? Homals...Hotels! They work at hotels." With those horribly matched uniforms.

Amy put her hand up, proffessor there are dentists and teachers like yourself and secretarys, but would a student count as an occupation proffessor? Amy asked inquisitivly, although where hundreds more which she could name she wanted to let the purblooded people have a go

"Hmm, well there are police officers who are like the law enforcers," Jackie says. She grabs out a piece of paper and writes.

William immediately put his hand up. "A Chemist professor, it's like a wizarding potioneer. They work with different ingredients and come up with new things. Much like those who work with potions create new potions to help or hinder others." he replied a huge grin on his face. he loved anything to do with potion making, even if it was the muggle way.

Peace.

Destiny cringed as Lawson started clapping. It made her ears start to ring and she had to stick her fingers in them to stop said ringing. It was a good thing her ears were clean. Heh. And speaking of ears.. "A candlestick maker. Someone has to make them."

Ears..candles. HA!

Arya giggled. She LIKED the new nickname. Leaning back in her seat, quill held loosily in her hand, she swung her feet and looked at Sir Lawson as the class began. "You could be a Repairman or Woman and fix muggle things, or there's Firefighters." There was tons more she could name, but she wanted to give the others a chance.

Jacob was day dreaming, when a loud clap brought him back to earth. Ouch, now his ears hurt. Thanks alot professor...

Oooh, he knew this. He most definantly knew this, and Jacobs Hand shot into the air. "There are Archaeologists, Scientists, Engineers..." His brain stopped working for some reason "Circus Clowns" Those really scared him. hmmm... why was it that such easy questions block your brain.

Simon looked at the Professor, "Oh you could be an F1 Driver, A footballer, A Secret agent, A cricketer." Simon smiled as he looked at the Professor he decided that he would leave it there, he could name loads more but he decided he would give other people a chance.

Alcemee entered the classroom and sat down. She took some of the candy so that she didn't seem rude, but she doubted she would actually eat it. She wasn't hungry, especially for candy. She said, "Thanks, Professor Lawson." Then she waited for everyone else to arrive and the class to start.

Brody raised his hand. "Doctors," he answered. "Or Nurses, Vets, Surgeons, and other things around those lines." Those were just some of the more important jobs. Without them, people would die.

"Excellent answers everyone and I will award all those that answered one point each."


Professor Lawson turned at the sound of a voice and then frowned at the Ravenclaw. "You're late. Class started about fifteen minutes ago. Two points from Ravenclaw for your tardiness."

He turned back to face the rest of the class and continued as though there had been no interruption. "Now please raise your hand and tell me what muggle jobs there are that differ or us magic folk don't have? Just name one please, so that others can have a chance of answering."



ooc: It will take me too long to quote everyone but rest assured I have read all your posts and awarded points accordingly.

Shifting in her chair a little bit, Katie's hand raised. "Professor, would professional figure skating count, even though it's also considered a competition? It's not that different from other sports that people have for their career." She paused, listening to her classmates. The Hufflepuff added, "If not, I'll say Dentistry; my dad is a dentist."
Again, Katie's hand went up. "Healers and doctors are different in the way that Healers tend to handle magical problems, in magical ways. Where as muggle doctors don't usually, and shouldn't, come across another muggle who's been a victim of a spell, plant or cursed object from our world? Also, for normal muggle-y things, doctors rely on their electronics and machines and stuff to help their patients."

Cadence raised her head again, trying to come up with an answer that no one else would think of. "Professor, how about special effects creators for Muggle movies and television shows. We most definitely don't have that!" she said with a little laugh.

Right.

Destiny raised her hand, "Muggles have people deliver their letters. We use owls." And some people, like herself, had a really stupid little owl that crashes into walls and who is named Travis.

Destiny would rather have a person.

What muggle jobs differ for magic folk? "What about those mail man people or...yea..." she said, lowering her hand. Pfft, Destiny already answered that. However, she perked up slightly when someone came in late...that wasn't a Slytherin.

Hmm, okay. She decided she might as well be happy while in this class. Naming off random things. Wasn't all that hard. Just as long as they weren't going to act out these jobs or anything.

ooc: Pfft. Destiny. Made me edit. LOL

Hmm... what jobs were different, indeed? Evan raised his hand. "They go up to the space. Astronauts, correct?" As far as he knew, no wizard had ever been to space, by magical means, at least.

"Professor they have T.V Presenters, and I don't think we have them." Simon wasn't sure but he put his hand up anywhere, even though he was sure he'd probably gone wrong.

Selena thought carefully. "They have those... electricians," Selena said. She didn't think they had those in the wizarding world. There was no electricity...

"Muggles have Pilots, the people who fly airplanes." She said with her hand in the air. "We have no use for them cause we have brooms."

Miles frowned as a late Ravenclaw lost them points that they really couldn't afford to lose and then turned back to the professor. He didn't quite understand the question but decided to take a stab at it anyway. Raising his hand thoughtfully he spoke, "Well...Muggles have taxi cab drivers. Cause...well we don't take taxi's." That was right wasn't it? Oh well if it wasn't he'd give another answer.

Annabelle raised her hand. "Professor, there is muggle Authors, designers, such as websites, clothes, and games." She said. After all before she knew she was a wizard she WAS a muggle. "Where as we have wizarding authors, and we only have designers for our uniforms. And they aren't updated. She said trying to explain.

As Jake was busy scoffing down a whole chocolate frog in one mouthful, he missed the chance to give a first answer, but the boy made up for it. Yes, he did.

"PPPRISON WARDENS!" he exclaimed, waving a sugar coated hand into the air.

Wrups.

...

"Wwwe have duhh-dementors instead."

BOOYAH!

TThe sugar was worrrrking.

Ellie absentmindedly thumbed through the text book. Three years at Hogwarts and she still knew almost nothing about Muggles. She didn't really see the purpose, she wasn't planning on taking a muggle excursion anytime soon.

It was embarrassing, however, to have all the muggle borns explain every little thing about their world to her. Especially when a lot of purebloods or half-bloods knew a lot of it already. Ellie was very disconnected from the world, on her little farm in the country. Not many wizards or muggles around.

She looked at the front of the class and listened as the Professor spoke about doctors. All Ellie knew was that they butchered people, using knives and needles and all sorts of horrible things. She would never want to be treated by a muggle doctor.

Nia raised her hand. "Muggles have Firefighters," she said with a smile. She loved her heritage and how it meant she got the best of best the magical and muggle worlds. And how it meant this class was actually more considered a break from her other lessons. It was always interesting to see how others viewed the Muggle world though. "I guess we might have some use for them, but generally aquamenti is pretty effective. Our equivalent certainly wouldn't worry about using a hose and pumping the water."

Teegan wrote the question down in her notebook and wrote down some jobs she had on the top of her head.

What muggle jobs do you know of?

• Policemen and women

• Firefighters

• Forensics specialists

• Pathologists
  
• Computer technicians

She didn't want to raise her hand at first, knowing that she would talk too softly and probably be asked to repeat her answers. She sat back and listened to everyone else's answers and wrote down more jobs as they were announced.



Teegan raised her hand almost immediately, "Sir, forensics specialists. They help solve crimes by working through evidence and linking it to suspects. While, usually we can just trace a wand's effect?" She asked the last part not quite sure how to word what she was saying, but hoped the professor understood her none the less.
