Default Charms II

As per the announcement made earlier, the second Charms lesson of the term is to take place, not on the room on the third floor, but in an enclosure in the grounds. This enclosure looks small but is, inside, much larger than a regular classroom. The roof is a mild cream-white and, once you step through the archway that serves as a door, you will see darker desks lining all four walls, leaving most of the space inside the room vacant.

The are large French windows set in each wall, letting light pleasantly flood in. The Professor's desk stands at the front of the classroom, and Jared is standing by it, gloved hands tucked into the pockets of deep black robes, as he waits for the students to start trickling in. Despite the weather outside, the insides of the temporary classroom are pleasantly warm, not too hot but certainly not too cold either.

OOC: Helloooo! Sowwee for the delay. You can RP your charries arriving, but the lesson will probably reaaaally start in five to ten hours. ^__^

"Simple and limited in perception because they can't 'do' magic?" His tone wasn't disrespectful, but it did contain the expression of the frown that had furrowed his brow. "That's like saying an animal is simple and 'limited' because it cannot speak. Or it does not have opposable thumbs. It is because muggles don't have magic that they have their own complexity, not less. Think about the ingenuity required for the technology they have created, their ability to solve problems that we would dispel with a simple flick of the wand and incantation. And for thinking openly and freely, perception is limited by what we are exposed to. They often do not 'see' magic because they have been told it doesn't exist thanks to the Statue, and ergo, when you are told something doesn't exist all your life, it's a little hard to comprehend it when it does pop up. Our eyes may be opened wider than theirs because we have not been subjected to the Statue, but that doesn't mean they don't have the ability to see as much or more than we do."

And he had just gone and ranted on two of his fellow classmates. Wincing a little, he cast his eyes down for a moment before looking back up at both of them. If anything, he was very appreciative that there was the acknowledgement of humanity in muggles. Some people didn't see it that way. "Muggles are people." Definite agreement there. "Who have to make their way in the world without the use of magic."
Emily raised her eyebrows, alarmed at the boys rudeness.
"Sure they have their own... complexity..." Emily used the same term the boy had used in his for want of a better word speech. "But at the same time, they do not possess the capability- even when presented with the opportunity- to fully understand and comprehend the nature of our world. You only have to look at the families of muggleborns to see that. Though muggleborn witches and wizards posses magical abilities- and they are great don't get me wrong- but more often than not, their families are not attuned to our world even having been introduced to it. Their perceptions have boundaries, even the most imaginative muggles couldn't fully comprehend nor appreciate our world."

"Yes, you may argue that their world is complex, and they have done well to manage without magic. But while we could enter muggle socity and in time learn their ways, they could not learn ours."


Emily looked the boy up and down... she hoped she hadn't ofended him with her responce... the last thing she needed was for him to go on another spiel.

Sabel frowned at the girl. A deep, displeased frown. "Do you know this from experience of living in a muggle family?" It took every bit of effort not to say more, but it was an essential question to ask.

Alex blinked. Wow, they really WERE all about the muggles this term, weren't they? He had no idea why they'd become so fascinating lately...if only his dad were here. Merlin, would he be flipping OUT over all this muggle stuff.

He raised his hand. "Professor, a muggle is simply a person who cannot practice magic. Usually they have no idea that the magical world even exists, unless they marry a witch or wizard or have a child who has magical abilities," he explained. That answer was almost word for word what he'd answered in the other classes that brought up muggles. Still, he had just a BIT more to add--mainly to those snippy purebloods who thought they were better than everyone else. "That's pretty much the ONLY difference, though--they're still people, with brains and hearts and feelings, so they should be treated just as we'd treat any other human being." he added.

Yeah, so they should all BE NICE.

"I've had my fair share of muggle interaction", she said before elaborating.
"I live in Godric's Hollow, a mixed muggle/wizarding community. I spent most of my childhood in the care of my muggle godparents whilst my parents worked." Emily paused, they're jobs had been demanding, and still are.
"Also I have many friends that are muggles and then there are those that are muggleborn."

Emily supressed a giggle.
"Does that answer your question?" she asked. After all most of her life was spent with muggles, she hadn't resented it at all. Though she easily preferred the wizarding world. Partly because she felt more comfortable with it, and also partly because her family were purebloods.

Her words didn't lessen his frown. For one so immersed in the muggle world, her opinion seemed rather strange. But then again, individual opinion and perception was just that; individual. A hard thing to remember, especially when one simple opinion could change everything.

"It does..." The answer came slowly as he found himself considering his next words. "I grew up in a muggle family. Both my parents are...were muggles and my whole community was muggle based. I can tell you, not all of them are as limited in their perceptions as you suggest. All perceptions have boundaries, even ours. Just because we are magical does not make our limits easier to breech than theirs. Many wizards have a hard time comprehending aspects of the muggle world, and always will."

He held his hands up a little in a non-threatening, non-aggressive gesture. "I'm just saying it's important to remember that there are two sides of a coin to everything."

Right. Jared straightened up. "Alright, everyone. Before the practical portion of the lesson, we're going to have a discussion about the relationship between charms and muggles." Never having enjoyed restrictions, he still had mixed feelings about this but, after a brief pause, he continued. "First off, who is a muggle? I don't just mean the standard definition, though you can give that if you like. What makes a muggle so different from someone practicing magic? Is a muggle really that different?"

[EDIT] Guysguysguys.. this is a normal question? Jared will only know what your charries are thinking if they speak up.


"Yes Sir, it is much better in here." She said before pulling out a piece of parchment.

She began writing the date and class on the top of her parchment, totally ignoring the brouhaha that was going on in the front of the room. As she heard Professor D address the class, she looked up to listen. Immediately, she wanted to bang her head on the desk. She resisted the urge though because she liked the professor, and didn't want to disrespect him, and because it would probably hurt. But really, Muggles again? She had just been hoping that all that was over. With a sigh, Emmaleigh raised her hand. "Muggles are people that cannot preform magic. They also don't have any recent ancestors that were witches and wizards. This differs from squibs, who cannot do magic, but come from a wizarding line."

"Oh I know there are two sides... it's just"... Emily paused for effect as she leant her body over her desk to close some of the distance between them.
"My sides better", she whispered, flashing her dazzling white smile.

"No in all honesty I know there are some magical folk that cant even begin to understand the muggle world but I think- generally speaking of course- we have a slightly borader ability to percieve and comprehend both sides than they can."
Emily chose her words selectively so as not to hurt his feelings too much.

Default The people involved in 'thivery' :P -a bit of catch-up-
Ľ of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pls

...No need for threats?! Evan stared at the other Gryffindork (Simon) boy. There was every kind of reason for threats, because that thick-head Josh didn't understand any better. In fact, he still didn't understand the threats too, but at least it could get him going a bit. Based on his reputation though, the Slytherin prefect highly doubted the dorky cared about the professors.

It took all his will not to snort at Patroclus' effort. The boy at least tried to stop Josh, who was the guilty one here. No need for threats... These dorks were really something, except their prefects.

"I don't think he really cares about other's efforts," he observed as he folded his arms in front of him. What Josh seeked was only reputation and 'fun' in his wicked mind. Evan was truly glad they had about the lenght of the castle between them at night. He couldn't even imagine himself being in the same house; he was to earn all the points, and the dork was to lose them all.

Biting his lips not to grin, he whispered back at Marie "Thanks..." One person on his side at last...

He let a smirk spread as the boy finally decided to give it back. Following the boy's gaze though, since it was obvious he saw someone else, definitely not affected by their words, his gaze fell on Evelyn. And at that moment an idea struck him like a lightning. Of course! How could he not think of that before! He smirked to himself as he looked at Evelyn's serious face, hiding it from Josh, right before turning back at him to have his badge back. He was such an idiot for not thinking of that before. But, he'd have his revenge back. Oh, he would.

Flickering his eyes back at the other dork (Simon), he rolled his eyes this time. If he was trying to break the tension by his meaningless talking, he was so failing at it. No action of Josh was harmless, let alone stealing his badge and showing off with it. But he let it slip for this time, because he wasn't going to let anything destroy his sudden happiness.

He was still waiting for the badge, when the professor decided to step in. "Yes, sorry professor," he said as he took one step back, expecting to hear that melodous sentence of 'Fifty points from Gryffindor! And Mr. Carter, I'll see you in my office after this!' He waited... and waited... and...

"ONLY FOU--?!" His hand flew to his mouth to close it up before he could finish his sentence; though his face clearly told the rest: He just stole my badge, but you deduct only FOUR?! What was that, a gift? Not only had the boy stolen from him, but he had also disrected a fellow student, disturbed the class, and talked inappropriately! But what, he got only FOUR and NO detention! Might as well give those points instead of deducting it. It would at least be cooler, see, I encourage a bit of trouble. Biting both of his lips and cheeks, he gulped hard. He had to keep silent. And leave Josh to Marie.

Eyes still at Josh, he opened his hand to get that badge at last in annoyance. But if, say, a Slytherin had done so--not that they ever would, they weren't 'courageous' fools--it would have at least twenty points, he was sure of it. Hmpf. And until he got that badge or Gryffindor lost more points for justice, he wasn't answering any questions.

Period.

Default Catching up. Everybody interacting with Josh :)
9 3/4 ticket holder / The SS Mentalist / Sherlock / The Master Of Everything / Josh + <3 = Ev

When Sabel clapped him on the shoulder as he walked towards Evan Cartwright to return the badge, Josh silently smiled at his housemate and after watching him find a seat near his friends, the Gryffindor boy went on his way towards the true Slytherin Prefect, the badge shining in his hand. Apparently, most of these people did not know what the meaning of the word 'fun' was or there were all supposed to be Ravenclaws. Meh.

The boy was pretty close to Evan and he was about to take his last few steps to return the badge when he heard Rex speaking whose words made him halt and stare at the other Gryffindor. Was this a some kind of joke? Josh wished it was but it was obvious that what he was saying was nothing close to it. Narrowing his eyes, Joshua, at first, eyed Rex than the other Gryffindors in the classroom who ordered him to return the badge. Well, he was already doing that but there was one thing much more annoying than even the existence of Jake Morgan. ''Now, it looks even my housemates do not trust me. Wow'' he clapped his hands ''That's great news! I wonder, though, why none of you have the nerves to risk a few points for your friends. That is, of course, if you consider that certain person your friend''

Of course, he stopped speaking immediately when he heard Evelyn's voice. She was talking to Rex to defend him. She was probably the only person who would do that in this place...not to forget Simon. ''Thank you, hun'' Josh said managing a little but warm smile towards her ''But do not waste your precious breath.'' He watched her a few moments more admiringly before turning to face Simon who spoke up right after her. ''The same goes to you, Si.'' What he had said was true. Josh Carter did not mean any harm but was only having fun yet he did not think that he was going to talk about this further because it seemed no one cared to understand what he meant by his words.

Then, Josh turned right his back to face the Professor when he told Evan to leave this to him. Hmmm what? He was already returning the badge. He wondered how he was going to handle this, though. Detention? Meh. Josh surely did not know how many times he had heard that word snapped at him so far. So the expression on his face which apparently showed his confidence did not change as Professor D uttered his name. Four points? Seriously? There was no doubt that this was way much less than some other people expected. Anyway there was no problem then, so not even voicing a single word, the lion boy acted for a second time to return the badge yet Descoteaux's other statements made him stop again.

Disrespecting a student? Was he talking about Evan? After this Joshua had to fight the urge to let out a sarcastic laughter, hopefully he managed to do it for he did not want to disrespect a professor. Yet it was obvious that this man had no idea who Evan Cartwright was. After the endless hostility of all those years, beginning from the very first year, Josh knew Evan surely deserved whatever should happen to him. Forget disrespecting part, the other thing he said was definitely not something the Gryffindor boy would accept. ''Professor...i want it to be known that i am no thief. I never take anyone else's belongings without permission. Never ever. This was a certain but not pleasant case between Evan and me. I ensure you it has nothing to do me enjoying to take other people's stuff.''

He supposed that was enough, therefore he turned back to Evan yet did not bother to take a single closer step towards him this time, only glaring at him with his dark brown gaze. He dared to speak to him? ''Oh, shut up. You have no capability of comprehending to figure out what i care or do not care about'' Idiot! It was really unbelivable how he and his kind managed to look innocent everywhere and Josh was always the one to be punished. There was hardly any justice in this school, as he experienced, but he was not going to whine about it like a baby. He was going to fight against it so, yes, he did not mind if they were the ones who got the victory this time. ''Take it, Cartwright, and i advise you to use it wisely this time'' and with those words the Gryffindor boy threw the badge at the Slytherin's face not caring about if it hit would his head.

After this short commotion and a short gaze at the Professor, Josh made his way towards the back of the classroom and took a seat away from everybody else even from Simon and Evelyn. He needed to be alone. And since he could not think of what to do next, he decided to listen to the discussion about Muggles and the questions Professor D asked. He was only going to listen however it was impossible to do so regarding what some students told about Muggles. ''Professor!'' so he stood up. ''I cannot say that there's any relation between Muggles and Charms but i feel the urge to say that i have found what some of our friends stated about Muggles very annoying. Apparently they know nothing about them. I do agree with Sabel but there are a few things that i want to add.'' eyeing the whole class again he went on ''First of all Muggles are not idiots just because they cannot perform magic. I can tell that most of them are more capable than wizards considering the way they deal with their lives. And the statement that Muggles cannot comprehend magic is not true. My father is a Muggle and he is quite aware of my and my mother's, who is a pureblood witch, abilities'' He glared at the Ravenclaw girl who argued with Sabel. ''And the ones born without the ability of performing magic is not only Muggles. There are also Squibs''

Evan simply laughed at the other boy's pathetic attempts to save himself with the cheap argument of Oh you're too silly for that! Seriously... the boy was what, 15 now? He had to grow up. He couldn't expect the life to be this easy and 'fun', nor could he expect people to tolerate him so much... at only four points' extent.

As he was half-expecting the badge would not be handed to him nicely but instead would be smashed into his face, he artistically and casually took a step back and curved his body back, to catch it up in air. Then, pinning it neatly on his robes, he stole one last glance at not Josh, but at Evelyn before dragging Marie with him to the furthest seat possible away from Josh.

Listening to the debate between his mates, he raised his hand at last to say his point.

"I think the Muggles have a broader imagination than us," he started in opposition to a Ravvie's point. "Just because they don't believe or get magic it doesn't mean they're stupid. On the contrary, with their technology... I'd say they are far better at solving daily problems than we are." He, for example, could never understand how TV worked. Or he couldn't get how a tiny one millimetre thing held so much information. "All of the technology is the products of their imagination." The technology he dearly used too, at home. "So the Muggles would be people like us, only more creative and... inability to perform magic like us. I'm talking in general, of course." He didn't need anyone standing up and saying 'Oh but I'm more creative than anyone!'

Nika was not surprised that the first question he asked was about muggles, they had been talking about that a lot in her other classes too. Nika was happy that they were talking about muggles first though. Unlike many other students who hated talking about them. Nika was a muggle to her knowledge only months ago.

Her face lit up when muggles were brought up because she knew what they were talking about. Being raised a muggle Nika knew they were no different.

"Well Professor, muggles are certainly no different from wizards.We are all the same, only they can't preform magic. But magic isn't a necessity. Muggles get by without it just fine. I'm a muggleborn and I really don't feel any different knowing that I have powers. What I'm trying to say is that we are not that different from them. I mean look at me, I was raised a muggle and I'm not any different." Nika frowned when some of the other students mentioned things like muggles just couldn't understand. Or that muggles are boring. "We are all made up the same aren't we? So why does it matter if we can do something that we can't?" She stopped thinking she made her point.

"It does..." The answer came slowly as he found himself considering his next words. "I grew up in a muggle family. Both my parents are...were muggles and my whole community was muggle based. I can tell you, not all of them are as limited in their perceptions as you suggest. All perceptions have boundaries, even ours. Just because we are magical does not make our limits easier to breech than theirs. Many wizards have a hard time comprehending aspects of the muggle world, and always will."

He held his hands up a little in a non-threatening, non-aggressive gesture. "I'm just saying it's important to remember that there are two sides of a coin to everything."
Nika liked this guy. She agreed with him on every word. She looked at him and smiled at his remark to the girl.

Sabel's eyes flicked to the other girl who spoke. Another raised with muggles. There was some relief in that and he gave her a slight smile back before returning to his 'partner in debate'.

While the chaos continued, some students freaking out and others quietly jotting down notes, Amadeus cleared his throat, sat up straight, and raised his hand. "Professor, I do believe that aside from the general definition of the term 'muggle,' they are quite different. Because of our use of magic and the muggle world's lack of magic, our ways are quite different. Because of our magical abilities, we have created a distinct society away from non-magical peoples. Some elements of our cultures tend to collide, such as wizards wearing muggle fashions and muggles making 'movies,'" He made quotation marks with his fingers, "about what they believe wizards and witches to be, but other than that, we couldn't be more different." He finished his well-thought out speech, quite proud of his answer. Amadeus could have scoffed at some of the other simples answers: Muggles can't perform magic. He had to resist rolling his eyes.

Belle answered the question. "Professor a muggle and a wizard are basically the same on the outisde but the difference is whether they can preform magic or not." she shrugged and turned to Jania. "And i know some wizards who dress out of place sometimes which is kind of funny." she giggled.

Satine smiled as the Professor greeted her, "I'm doing great! Looking forward to today's lessons..." she was just fixing to pick on him about it prolly being about Muggles, when he started the official lesson...

Yep she was right the subject was Muggles.

She raised her hand, "Sir, since I'm a halfie, my mom has just always said that when my dad was in heaven that he got lost on the way to the magic line and that now he's down here without any magic." she said with a little giggle....it was always a good story when she was younger at least.

They were going to discuss muggles during today's class? Wow, what a surprise.

Of course, that line of thinking was meant to be sarcastic, as they'd studied muggles in nearly each and every class they'd been to so far. Sierra inwardly rolled her eyes as she thought of an answer to the question.

"A muggle is someone who can't perform magic," she answered, raising her hand. "Muggles are people, same as we are, but in so many ways, they're very different, too. They see magic as something unknown, unfamiliar, and sometimes even evil." Right. Like that burning at the stake conversation they'd had in another of their classes. "They see magic as learning tricks rather than a way of life, like we do. I guess they've just been closed off to our way of living for so long that the things we do each and every day seem impossible to them."

Quote:

He raised his hand. "Professor, a muggle is simply a person who cannot practice magic. Usually they have no idea that the magical world even exists, unless they marry a witch or wizard or have a child who has magical abilities," he explained. That answer was almost word for word what he'd answered in the other classes that brought up muggles. Still, he had just a BIT more to add--mainly to those snippy purebloods who thought they were better than everyone else. "That's pretty much the ONLY difference, though--they're still people, with brains and hearts and feelings, so they should be treated just as we'd treat any other human being." he added.

Yeah, so they should all BE NICE.
Brains and hearts and feelings?!

Sierra gave her twin brother a 'Toughen up, Puffer Boy' look before smirking at him and turning back to the professor.

Charley moved from her seat. She liked participating, but there was too much else going on where she was. Maybe she could find another seat. She hadn't seen her friends; they were bound to be here somewhere.
"I don't think they're all that different. I mean, they don't have magic, sure, but it's not as if they don't find ways to deal with many problems just because of that. They have transportation, vaccinations, things like that, and they often aren't as effective as ours but they still have them. They use what they have."

"Hey Belle! Hey Jaina!" Charley exclaimed softly. She'd been trying to find a different place to sit; at the back of the classroom she wasn't really able to participate in the beginning of the class and was having trouble hearing Professor Descoteaux.

Apparently, most of these people did not know what the meaning of the word 'fun' was or there were all supposed to be Ravenclaws. Meh.

The boy was pretty close to Evan and he was about to take his last few steps to return the badge when he heard Rex speaking whose words made him halt and stare at the other Gryffindor. Was this a some kind of joke? Josh wished it was but it was obvious that what he was saying was nothing close to it. Narrowing his eyes, Joshua, at first, eyed Rex than the other Gryffindors in the classroom who ordered him to return the badge. Well, he was already doing that but there was one thing much more annoying than even the existence of Jake Morgan. ''Now, it looks even my housemates do not trust me. Wow'' he clapped his hands ''That's great news! I wonder, though, why none of you have the nerves to risk a few points for your friends. That is, of course, if you consider that certain person your friend''

Of course, he stopped speaking immediately when he heard Evelyn's voice. She was talking to Rex to defend him. She was probably the only person who would do that in this place...not to forget Simon. ''Thank you, hun'' Josh said managing a little but warm smile towards her ''But do not waste your precious breath.'' He watched her a few moments more admiringly before turning to face Simon who spoke up right after her. ''The same goes to you, Si.'' What he had said was true. Josh Carter did not mean any harm but was only having fun yet he did not think that he was going to talk about this further because it seemed no one cared to understand what he meant by his words.

Then, Josh turned right his back to face the Professor when he told Evan to leave this to him. Hmmm what? He was already returning the badge. He wondered how he was going to handle this, though. Detention? Meh. Josh surely did not know how many times he had heard that word snapped at him so far. So the expression on his face which apparently showed his confidence did not change as Professor D uttered his name. Four points? Seriously? There was no doubt that this was way much less than some other people expected. Anyway there was no problem then, so not even voicing a single word, the lion boy acted for a second time to return the badge yet Descoteaux's other statements made him stop again.

Disrespecting a student? Was he talking about Evan? After this Joshua had to fight the urge to let out a sarcastic laughter, hopefully he managed to do it for he did not want to disrespect a professor. Yet it was obvious that this man had no idea who Evan Cartwright was. After the endless hostility of all those years, beginning from the very first year, Josh knew Evan surely deserved whatever should happen to him. Forget disrespecting part, the other thing he said was definitely not something the Gryffindor boy would accept. ''Professor...i want it to be known that i am no thief. I never take anyone else's belongings without permission. Never ever. This was a certain but not pleasant case between Evan and me. I ensure you it has nothing to do me enjoying to take other people's stuff.''

He supposed that was enough, therefore he turned back to Evan yet did not bother to take a single closer step towards him this time, only glaring at him with his dark brown gaze. He dared to speak to him? ''Oh, shut up. You have no capability of comprehending to figure out what i care or do not care about'' Idiot! It was really unbelivable how he and his kind managed to look innocent everywhere and Josh was always the one to be punished. There was hardly any justice in this school, as he experienced, but he was not going to whine about it like a baby. He was going to fight against it so, yes, he did not mind if they were the ones who got the victory this time. ''Take it, Cartwright, and i advise you to use it wisely this time'' and with those words the Gryffindor boy threw the badge at the Slytherin's face not caring about if it hit would his head.

After this short commotion and a short gaze at the Professor, Josh made his way towards the back of the classroom and took a seat away from everybody else even from Simon and Evelyn. He needed to be alone. And since he could not think of what to do next, he decided to listen to the discussion about Muggles and the questions Professor D asked. He was only going to listen however it was impossible to do so regarding what some students told about Muggles. ''Professor!'' so he stood up. ''I cannot say that there's any relation between Muggles and Charms but i feel the urge to say that i have found what some of our friends stated about Muggles very annoying. Apparently they know nothing about them. I do agree with Sabel but there are a few things that i want to add.'' eyeing the whole class again he went on ''First of all Muggles are not idiots just because they cannot perform magic. I can tell that most of them are more capable than wizards considering the way they deal with their lives. And the statement that Muggles cannot comprehend magic is not true. My father is a Muggle and he is quite aware of my and my mother's, who is a pureblood witch, abilities'' He glared at the Ravenclaw girl who argued with Sabel. ''And the ones born without the ability of performing magic is not only Muggles. There are also Squibs''


Eh, it seemed Josh was starting to get rather angry. Not good! Not the fact that he was getting angry at Evan...just in general. She didn't enjoy seeing him upset.

Not to mention he just sat particularly far away from her.

THAT she didn't enjoy either.

Frowning, Evelyn unfolded her arms and opened up her notebook before taking out her quill and ink and writing the date at the top of the page. WHA? They were talking about more muggle stuff?! For once, she agreed with Stutters. The muggles were getting on her nerves.

However, hearing everyone's answer, they all were getting on her nerves too. Except Josh of course.

"You mean...you're a muggleborn..." Well, that made him all the much worse for her. However, she could not help the quiet snort that escaped her as her shoulders shook from laughter. "If you were a muggle, you wouldn't be here."

Yet, after that, she felt the need to put a little of her own opinion in on it. None of this 'they have feelings too' stuff that everyone was talking about and how they were all 'the same'. "I think muggles have a lot more...emotional issues than wizards do, which can cloud their thought process and ultimately affect their decisions." Which, wizards didn't. In her opinion.

Well, she hadn't really met a muggle, though all the muggleborns she'd met...she thought they had issues. It made sense her mind.

What!? Josh was only losing four points for stealing a Prefect badge? That was so not worth even taking anything from him. That was like telling the boy he could do anything he wanted and would just get a little tap on the hand.

Marie glared over at the professor biting her tongue so she wouldn't say something that would probably lose her more points than that loud mouth, obnoxious Josh lost. Oh that boy was so going to feel her wrath once class was over.

Following Evan as he drug her across the room she mumbled, "He is so going to get it after class." She didn't care if Evelyn was there or not.

Sitting there next to Evan she rolled her eyes when the professor asked his question about muggles. With all the damn talk of muggles this term they might as well just let them into the school. It was getting ridiculous. "WHY do we have to discuss muggles in every single class? I personally am getting tired of hearing about them." Seriously, this was a school of witchcraft and wizardry, not a school of muggles.

Jackie thought about that question throughly. Then she raised her hand. "The real difference between muggles and us is that we have magic. But, really how did we aquire this magic but muggles didn't? Muggles use their imagination for MAGIC, but we really have it. They think of how magic would be good, but they don't know it. How did magic get started? Did everybody have it and then people just became squibs starting the whole MUGGLE? Professor..." she said looking at the professor hoping he would explain.

"hey, what that, you are teasing those muggleborns, right, like me" Raven reacted.

But, yes, muggle earn money and food in hard ways, unlike wizardkind, we can replenish what we have.

Emily couldn't believe her ears... he was not letting up.
"Oh I see that you've forgotten the medieval times... remember when witches were burnt at the stake for being... witches", she hissed. "They weren't very comprehending, nor accpeting them were they?"

"And before you go onto say, Oh but times have changed- they havn't! not that much anyway! There will always be a large number of muggles that feel uncomfortable with the very idea of us, let alone co-existing with us. Its foolish and irresponsible to think co-existance is ever going to be a good idea."

Emily could have continued her rant for the duration of the lesson but thought it wise that she didn't.
"Look it's great that you like muggles and have grown up with them, but the world is not ready for co-existance and that clearly settles my point that muggles are less perceptive and less comprehending."

Emily's head spun. Ok now she really was sick and tired of hearing about muggles. In face Emily was sure she had had this very same discussion in History of Magic... and D.A.D.A ... and Potions... and EVERY other class.
She rubbed her temples gently. She didn't have a high tollerence for repetition.

"And before you go onto say, Oh but times have changed- they havn't! not that much anyway! There will always be a large number of muggles that feel uncomfortable with the very idea of us, let alone co-existing with us. Its foolish and irresponsible to think co-existance is ever going to be a good idea."

Emily could have continued her rant for the duration of the lesson but thought it wise that she didn't.
"Look it's great that you like muggles and have grown up with them, but the world is not ready for co-existance and that clearly settles my point that muggles are less perceptive and less comprehending."

Emily's head spun. Ok now she really was sick and tired of hearing about muggles. In face Emily was sure she had had this very same discussion in History of Magic... and D.A.D.A ... and Potions... and EVERY other class.
She rubbed her temples gently. She didn't have a high tollerence for repetition.
Arya really had thought she was gonna be able to sit quietly while the discussion continued, at least til the professor changed the subject. But it was becoming impossible to do. At least another Griffindor had agreed with Sabel. And at least other students in the class were irritated about all this muggle talk.

But this one girl....just wasn't gonna let her go without speaking. With a slightly vexed look in her eyes, she turned them on the older girl that was arguing with Sabel. "Just because the majority of muggles didn't except us hundreds of years ago does NOT mean that they won't accept us now. You can't stereo type an entire group because of some of their past. Sure there will be some that will be uncomfortable with co-excited with us, but the same can be said for wizards." Eyes narrowing slightly, she huffed a small sigh. "Its foolish to think that muggles now are the same that they have been in the past. It's not foolish to think that co-existence isn't possible when some of us already do co-exist with muggles to a certain extent." Like herself.

"I know muggles who are more perceptive and comprehending than some of the wizards I've met. If anything we're more ignorant to their world than they are to ours. After all, we've always known about their existence, and yet most of us still don't know how they live their daily lives." Tearing her eyes away from the girl, she slumped back into her seat, arms crossed over her chest. This was just...tiring. New topic please?
