Instead, Snow White can find a cottage that belongs to a group of forest guards or...woodcutters?" Yep, that sounds okay.

"Anyone want to group up?" he asked, scanning for some lone students, or smaller groups that could use another person.

" Glad you are on our team" William said to her. " We suew have to do a lot in geups. don't we?' Willaim asked her. " I am William Montcenaggio aka Starr.


" Well, they said we could use four, so why not join us?" Willaim asked him. " My name is William Montcenaggio, but call me William Starr' he said to the boy.

" Your name is Simon, right?" he asked the other boy. " My name is William Starr" he introduced himself to him.

Well...

Sierra had been hoping to work with some of her own kind, a Slytherin or two, but she supposed a group of Lions would do. At least they weren't Puffers. Besides, the Gryffindors were currently in first place points-wise. Maybe if she paired up with some of them, she'd benefit from all their hard work, and...

Hmm... Okay, the Gryffindors would do.

Even if all three of them were a little over-friendly. "I'm Sierra," she simply said, pulling out a piece of parchment and a quill. Hmm. Snow White. She was a pureblood and knew next to nothing about the fairy tale, but there were a few things she did know:

Magical Parts of Snow White

1. Poisoned apple
2. Witch
3. Talking animals
4. True love's kiss
5. Magical mirror ("Mirror, Mirror on the Wall")

"Okay," she said, turning her parchment around to face the others, "this is a list of the few magical parts I can remember. Are there any others?" Right. She wasn't much on friendly conversation. It was best to get straight to the point when amongst the Lions.

Hmm, he seemed to be getting him mixed up with another Hufflepuff. He was sure there was a Hufflepuff named Simon, right? "Actually no, I think you're thinking of someone else. I'm Alex, Alex Greingoth," he told him with a grin. "Nice to meet you William!"

"So, shall we get started?" he asked, hoping they hadn't ACTUALLY started already and he was just jumping in late.

"So we have to unfairy Snow White" William said to Alex and the others. " I guess there would not be a magic mirror or seven dwarfs" William explained to group.
" I am sure we have to unmagi more of thes fairy tale" Willliam commneted,
Seeing that every one was getting settled in " hey the only thing we got so far is to chang the mirror to a gossiping maid that is a real suck up,and make the dwarves in to like lumberjacks " looking over to Viola " Dwarves are just little people. So taking them out is not de-magicing. But your right in the fact that we can chang the myth of dwarves live under ground and are miners.So lets make them lumber jacks "looking around the group " Will that work or do Yall have anouther idea"

Blech!Kissing is gross. Let's make it a tragedy. A really famous muggle writer Shakespeare. His stories were tragedies. Oakey was not one for fairy tale endings.

Penny thought about what Oakey had said before answering..."Well for this story to be muggle, we need to de-magic it.... take away all hints or traces of magic....lets make a list to see what we need to take out..
1. Magic Mirror
2. Witch
3. Poisoned Apple
Uhm..Oakey can you think of any more?"

Isobel frowned. They had to take out the kiss? That killed the whole point. She sent Professor Zookara a 'look.' Humph, stupid assignment. ANYWAY..."What about the dwarfs?" She asked Penny. Would they be considered magical?

Oakey thought about this a long time. What else in Snow White was there that was Magical. Hey yeah! Aren't Dwarfs magical creatures. We'd need to replace them. This list that Penny made out was a good idea.

"We could make them in to really short men." Isobel said with a nod. It could work. "Does the apple work in there? Yeah, I think it does, because she could still poison it, even with out magic."

Penny smiled at Oakey..."The dwarves aren't necessarily magical - muggles have dwarves too..." chuckling at Oakey..

Penny looked up from the parchment when Isobel spoke..."yeah we could make them into really short men, but I don't think we need to...
But I think the apple should be on the list because, the witch in the story only poisoned half the apple, she ate the good half and gave the bad half to snow white - in the muggle world if you poison an apple..all of it is poisoned !!"

Then Why we just not have the old lady eat her half of the apple. Simple solution for a simple problem. This way we can poison the whole apple and only have Snow White eat it.

"First, the Witch was probably not a Witch, but a person from a mental institution that thought they heard a mirror talk," go on, Legend, write it down! "And Snow White was probably a Nurse there," oh, that was a pretty picture, and for the record, he was completely joking, Zookara.

Cause like I'm headboy you know? You gotta let me do what I want? And anyway it wasn't likely that Neptune was going to say no. Or he'd not let her have an snuggles anymore. Which would be very disappointing because Finlay liked snuggling.

Ahh. Snow white was a nurse? "So....in your little story Treyen where to the dwarfs come in?" Because like...he couldn't see little people working at a mental hospital. Unless they like propped up things....like propped up the tables instead of table legs... Yeah. That explained that!!


"Whatever you say dudes." They could join. Anyone could. As long was he wasn't stuck with Neptune alone because that would lead to his hospitalization.

WAIT...

He was still stuck with writing?

He picked up his quill and dipped it into the ink. Blinking a couple times at Treyen he began to doodle a little picture of a crazy lady on the top of the page. Drawing was the same thing as writing anyways.

SPOILER!!: Angry Neptune

"I can NOT believe you just yelled that across the room." NEPTUNE WAS HIS PARTNER. He should have been yelling THAT. He should have recognized that that was something in and of itself.

Legend Chosen was ...

...saved by the good graces of the one and only, Treyan Lockhart. Giggle. Should have known a Hufflepuff would be a peacemaker.


"The dwarfs were.... septuplets. And they were .... " Neptune struggled to come up with a non-magical explanation for seven little men living together in the woods.


Yelled what? Legend had no clue what Neptune was talking about so he brought his finger to his lips before loudly hissing. "SHHH I'm trying to write this down." Or draw it. Yeah....just no more angry sentences from you.

SPOILER!!: YOU. CRAZY GROUP

Wait, what? Seriously? They were going along with that story? Hehe. Funny how he'd been joking all along, but the story seemed to make a little bit of SENSE, Finn! He'll explain, "She lost something very valuable to her, Neptune," he said, in a softer tone, as his eyes wandered off to the Ravenclaw girl. He still kept looking at Legend from the corner of his eye, he wasn't writing. Tsk, tsk. "You know, the 'prince' could be her son, the Heir to, er, whatever lands or houses the Crazy woman owned," Neptune should know about heirs and stuff, right? "Maybe he took a liking for the Nurse that took care of his mother." And...er, the dwarfs?

He smiled at Neptune.

Septuplets, Finn! "They were little handy men, you know, someone needed to keep the gardens of the place looking pretty, no?" why were they little people, he didn't know.

Yeah, the maintenance crew needed to be little, so they'll fit anywhere.

"A prince falling for his mother's nurse is so romantic, Trey," Neptune touched his knee with her toe under their desks. Giggle. She approved. "So this Queen didn't want her son to fall for a commoner and sends her to.... the maintenance men in the woods!" Neptune agreed cheerfully.

"And and... made her be THEIR nurse AND maid. I bet they had gross feet."

Neptune looked at Legend. "I bet you have gross feet, too, Oh-Awesome-Snogger." Smirk.

So he was pretty glad that Legend was supposed to be writing this down....because he'd have no idea really. "Nurses are hot..." He mused with a grin. It was true. Although he wasn't too sure if like that was the point but oh well.

oh and he'd thought of something else. "How would you explain the apple thing, that made her sleep. I mean...I don't think normal apples do that?" Otherwise he wouldn't be eating them anymore.

Treyen completely blushed. Well, not completely, there was only a sheer pink tint on his cheek, that was a total compliment from NEPTUNE!

Ahem. Right. The story.

The boy listened to the rest Neptune had to say, and nodded all the way, "Exactly! That sounds good to me," their story was turning out to be even better than the original one. It was just so incredible! And, like, involved so many Muggle scenarios. A movie about that would be made in no time.

"I'm not sure about the feet, though, do they play a important part in the story, Neptune?" he asked, eying Legend once more. Tsk, tsk, Legend was sooo NOT going to be their screen writer.



O________o

Well, there you go. Finlay understood the prince's point of view, then.

THINK, FINLAY, THINK!

"Mmmhmm, I don't think they do...on their own," so, like, any apple in the Great Hall wouldn't harm you, "But, think about it...mental institution, Nurse...sedatives." Muggle medicine had the same effects as many potions, "Perhaps the Crazy woman, I mean, Queen...," he eyed Neptune as he corrected himself, "...was having some sort of panic attack and the Nurse was going to inject her some sedative...but...the Queen took the needle and the Nurse ended up being...sedated," oh, my Gilderoy! That action scene must have been amazing, no? "Or the apple could've been injected with the sedactive or something," he shrugged at the last addition. He'd rather have the fight scene.

How awesome would it be, no?


Legend looked up from his picture of a crazy lady with a nurse and a son or Prince? Or something. Wait..was there something about ugly feet? "All feet are ugly." Feet were meant to be ugly that was why they walked on them.

Yeah?

The blond did not understand where this whole story was going.

"WAIT! STOP STOP STOP! So the Queen is a crazy lady with a son who is a Prince who is in love with his mother's nurse who is...in love with him? And then there are random short men who work around the house with their bad looking feet? And then the Queen acts out one day so the Nurse tries to sedate her but the Queen takes the medicine and then gets her back?" Yeah? Was that it? Legend looked around at everyone else. "So..why couldn't the nurse just try to give her sleeping pills in her tea or something and then she drank the tea." Or something....

He took up the Quill once more and began to write what he had just said. He did NOT care if it was wrong. He would blame YOU Neptune for coming up with the Queen idea. And YOU Treyen for agreeing with it, AND making him be the writer. And YOU Finlay because you actually seemed like a sane person who could stop this confusing plans but you weren't.

I'd like for you all to get into small groups of 3 or 4 and...well, 'unfairy' the fairy tale." Err, yeah, did that make sense? "So exclude all those magical elements. Be creative. Make the simple Muggle story still worth reading." Hopefully they would understand the task.

Fee listened to the professor and nodded her head.That sounded really interesting.Lets see what she could make out of it.Even though the blonde hated to work in groups in class,she would give it a chance.Unfairy-ing the fairytale would be worth a try.

Looking around the blonde searched for a partner.Where was William? Didnt they say they would pair up next lesson?Oh well, anyone else would be fine too.They need to be more than two anway.

Kurumi jotted down notes as Connor spoke. "I've actually read that the first version of Snow White had her with blonde hair. When they went about making the films, they turned her hair black," she said not really knowing where she was going with this idea. "I suppose that gives us a better placement for where the story took place..." Clearly no where in Asia seeing as blonde wasn't a natural hair color there.

Kurumi looked around. Yes...that was completely off topic. Back to what Connor was saying...

"That kiss really is the tricky part," Kurumi said as she aimlessly tickled her lips with her quill. When you thought of things logically, the whole idea seemed a bit...well...absurd. She almost voiced her thought that someone had come up with the idea to give young girls forced into marriages hope that they really would feel something for whatever old fat man they were marrying, but she kept such thoughts to herself seeing as the group she was sitting with probably wouldn't appreciate it.

Deciding to put the whole kissing notion aside for the moment, Kurumi's eyes flicked upwards...


...and she saw a VERY confused looking Heather sitting across from her. "Heather, where do you think the idea of the evil stepmother turning into an old witch came from?" she asked hoping that the subtle hint would help bring her back to what they were discussing. "I was thinking that perhaps it was just a matter of her growing old and, as Connor mentioned, perhaps her mind had become so demented that her appearance changed due to pulling on her own hair and whatnot."

SPOILER!!: Kurumi's parchment

Muggle Studies lesson one - Muggle Fairy Tales
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
magical elements
  • dwarfs
    possibly children? really were little people? just people in the next town over who were called 'little people'?
  • magic mirror "mirror mirror on the wall"
    regular mirror and the queen had multiple personality disorder?
  • stepmother turning into an old witch
  • poisoned apple
    apple injected with poison
  • True Love's Kiss
    happy coincidence


Kurumi looked around at her group again. Were they supposed to totally rewrite the story as if things had really happened? That sounded like a big dream crusher.

Her attention returned to Connor and his comment about hoping no one ever tried to analyze his music, and she laughed softly. "And I am sure that Shakespeare is rolling around in his grave because we are required to pick apart his poetry," she said sticking her tongue out. "I think it would be an honor to have someone want to study my music and try to figure out what my motivation was." Fairy Tales were another thing. Especially thing one since the ending was...well...awful.

"In the queen was forced to wear iron slippers had already been put upon the fire in the original story," she said wrinkling her nose a bit. "Then she was forced to put on the red-hot shoes, and dance until she dropped down dead. I suppose...this could be seen as a way of documenting actual ways of torturing people..."

Now THAT was a rather morbid thought.
Selina had slightly fallen behind in the notes. As she tried to catch up with the notes the entire class fell into the motions of forming a group. By the time she was done with the notes it seemed everyone was in a group. She stood up and walked over to Kurumi, "Want an extra partner?"

Best. Group. Ever.

"Treyen's blushing," Neptune felt compelled to point out. He was. LOOKIT. GIGGLE. She bit her lip and enjoyed the pink.

"Of course the feet are important. Duh, details will get us a better grade. Trey." Just. Duh. DUH.

"No .... no. You've got it all wrong. What good is a sedative? This isn't Sleeping Beauty, it's Snow White. Besides, I don't think the The Mental Queen was that dumb. When the voices in her head STILL insisted that Nurse White was still the fairest of them all, the Mental Queen escaped her ward and went to see for herself. In fact, I bet the Mental Queen didn't intend to sedate, maim, or otherwise kill Nurse White. Nurse White was out of the picture and away from her son, so she was just curious, you know? I think Nurse White conked due to some underlying ailment and the Mental Queen and apple snack were in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Neptune giggled at Legend Chosen. Just...giggled.

She gave his arm an encouraging little pat. "I think Legend just wants to get to the kissing part so he can share his expertise."

Treyen completely ignored the comment about the feet.

But at least Legend was writing. He didn't even bother to check what was he writing about, so, for all he knew, Legend could've been writing down something entirely different to whatever they were saying. It matter not.

As long as he was writing.

"Tea? We're talking about an apple here, Legend," and, by the way, the whole story summarized sounded like some entirely crazy yet possible Muggle story. Totally. "Focus." And if he wanted tea, well, he could always go to the Great Hall or the Kitchens and drink some.

Maaan, that was totally uncalled for! He could've blushed EVEN more thanks to Neptune, BUT...he didn't. "Yeah, the weather, you know," yeah, what about the weather exactly?

Well, since Legend had sort of agreed with Neptune, and Finn only said that Nurses were hot, then Treyen wouldn't mind if the seven maintenance dudes had ugly feet. "Sure, no problem, then," eyes on Legend, he ought to write the feet part too.

"No, no, the Crazy woman wanted to harm the Nurse, I don't know how, but she wanted to," otherwise the story would be about an accident, and there was no accident in Snow White, "I wouldn't mind if the apple had been in the wrong place at the wrong time, though," poor apple, everyone was blaming it.

And about the kissing part, Treyen made no comments at all.

Sierra looked at her parchment again.

Magical Parts of Snow White

1. Poisoned apple - changed to a rotten apple?
2. Witch
3. Talking animals
4. True love's kiss
5. Magical mirror ("Mirror, Mirror on the Wall") - changed to a gossiping housemaid

She nodded as the girl she thought was named Ella agreed that she'd listed just about all the magical parts of the story. Sierra still hated taking out all the magic, but then again, this assignment was just another reminder of why she hated Muggle Studies. She went through and put check marks by all the parts she'd listed.

"I don't think so," Sierra said, answering Elle's question about the dwarfs. "Dwarfs aren't magical. They exist in the Muggle world, too. Trolls are magical." Sierra rolled her eyes at the girl, although, she was careful to do it to where the girl wouldn't see. She didn't want to offend the only people she had left to work with. Not that she was really bothered if she offended someone or not, but she doubted she'd get any points for this assignment if she worked alone.

OOC: Don't mind Sierra. She's not a very nice little girl at times, I'm afraid.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, waaaaaaait. Both Michael White and Alex were in this group, too? She'd been under the impression it'd just be her and the three Gryffindors. She didn't realize Puffers were part of the deal.

She eyed Michael. "What's wrong with keeping them as dwarfs? I think we should only change them to lumberjacks if lumberjacks fit into our new story," she commented. "Otherwise, it sounds too random." Hufflepuffs. It took her a few seconds, but she did actually end up agreeing with Michael on one thing. "I do like the idea of having the magical mirror being a gossiping house elf--I mean, housemaid."

"What about changing the poisoned apple to a rotten apple?" she suggested. "It can just...I don't know...make her sick or something." Blahhh. She was no good at de-magicking things.

K-Lee, sitting near Rhys, noticed two others looking for a group. She smiled at them. "Why don't you both join our group? It's only Rhys and me right now. Anyway, hi I'm K-Lee." She said, gesturing to two empty seats where they could sit.

The more people in the group, the better. She could make more new friends that way hopefully, though it would all not be too good to leave htem at the end of the year.

Legend took a moment to look up from the parchment and stare at Neptune. "Don't put words in my mouth Bott. The kissing part is the most boring parts of these Fairytales anyways." THEY WERE BORING.

"Plus only few people can hear, what I have to say about that subject." That meant not you Neptune. And not Trey or Fin or Zoo or the whole Muggle Studies class.

But at least Legend was writing. He didn't even bother to check what was he writing about, so, for all he knew, Legend could've been writing down something entirely different to whatever they were saying. It matter not.

As long as he was writing.

"Tea? We're talking about an apple here, Legend," and, by the way, the whole story summarized sounded like some entirely crazy yet possible Muggle story. Totally. "Focus." And if he wanted tea, well, he could always go to the Great Hall or the Kitchens and drink some.
"Oh yeah..sorta forgot that's what we were doing. I thought we were making up a story." He shrugged. Tea actually would be good right now. And cookies. Maybe a sandwich. Or some chicken. Hmm. Maybe Macaroni! "Buy guys! I still don't get why they need SEVEN maintenance workers. I mean what are they fixing? Why can't they fix it faster? Why does there need to be seven? It seems like a flaw in the story really." He looked down at the parchment which had lots of pictures and the beginning of the story jotted down messily.

Seven ugly feet maintenance workers. You guys stood out so much.

While Peyton was thinking how to do more de-magic-ing her eyes fell upon a certain blonde. "Fee!" she waved, calling her friend over. "Come on, we got some things down, maybe you can help?" she said, her cheeks brightening when she realized she had used her outside voice.

Oops.

Giggle.

Alex nodded. "Those sound like good ideas...and I like the rotten apple bit, when food goes bad it can do all sorts of nasty stuff to you," he replied with a small chuckle. Food poisoning was NEVER fun. "How about the witch is someone like...a pharmacist? They work with potions in the muggle world, don't they?" he said with a wrinkled eyebrow. "An EVIL pharmacist, who maybe poisons the apple that way instead of having a rotten apple? Whatever sounds more plausible," he said with a chuckle. It was up to them, really. Either way sounded a bit silly to him but hey, muggles believed all sorts of weird things!

running his hand over his jaw as he followed the story " we could make her the daughter of the pharmacist, That has to listen to the gossiping maid come in every day to say how pretty Snow White is and how Snow White is going to meet the prince". rubbing the back of his neck and looking at the outhers " then what "

all you lovelies
 
"Of course you can, Selina!" Kurumi smiled scooting over a bit closer to Connor for the first year to join them.

Kurumi nodded at what Heather said and then she overheard some conversation from another group about how the entire story probably took place in a mental institution. Kurumi sure hoped that that wasn't the case because that was a frightening way of imagining Snow White. Perhaps her 'white' came from those jackets that insane people had to wear?

Shaking her head back and forth quickly, Kurumi pushed these thoughts away and returned to her notes.

"Hey, do you think that the apple could have been so old that it was rotting do you? You would at least get sick from eating something that would spoil." Perhaps the queen had eaten it herself and gone insane.

SPOILER!!: Kurumi's parchment

Muggle Studies lesson one - Muggle Fairy Tales
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
magical elements
  • dwarfs
    possibly children? really were little people? just people in the next town over who were called 'little people'?
  • magic mirror "mirror mirror on the wall"
    regular mirror and the queen had multiple personality disorder?
  • stepmother turning into an old witch
    symbolic of time passing? wearing a costume? psychological-pushed to the brink of insanity, wanting to stay beautiful, and if she can't, then she'd kill what is beautiful?
  • poisoned apple
    apple injected with poison
  • True Love's Kiss
    happy coincidence


Then Kurumi thought a bit more. Fairy tales were always trying to teach people something and not necessarily based on actually things that happened. "What if....this story is just an elaborate attempt to teach us all about the nature of love?" Kurumi said more thinking aloud than really addressing anyone in particular. However, he eyes did flick towards Connor subconsciously for a brief instant. They had been talking about True Love's Kiss after all. "The Evil Queen is constantly looking in the mirror could symbolizes a person who loves themselves more than others. When she is told by her mirror, a self-reflection, that another woman, Snow White, in the kingdom, which could mean a belief system or way of life, is more beautiful than her it means that there is a truer quality of love."

Was anyone else following her thought process?

Hey, Legend. Tsk! Be nice to Neptune.

Wait. Didn't he hear what Zookara said? "Eh, no, we're suppose to take away all hint of magic," but they still needed the same things for the story, no? WHICH IS WHY THERE ARE SEVEN TINY PEOPLE.

"They take care of the woods, no? You don't suppose you'll be hiring only one guy to take care of them without magic?" like, Mr. Stryker sometimes asked for help from the students, and he could do magic. Imagine a Muggle taking care of Hogwarts grounds, eh? "And since they're septuplets...," or whatever it was that Neptune said, "...then, I don't know, they may have some codependency issues or something," and they had to be together, always.

Sound good, Chosen?

Group, anyone?
 
Aurora was very confused as to how this was helping her education. She sat back in her chair and gazed around the room for someone to group with, though everyone seemed to have done that pretty quickly. She really didn't see the point in de-fairying stories, that would just make them dull.

Of course, Dwarves were magical. Weren't they really short people wearing pointy hats? So, that wasn't an apt description but she knew that they definitely were not non-magical. Really short people exist, yes. Dwarves don't. In the muggle world. Anyway, she wasn't going to argue that point since she hardly knew the girl at all.

Viola stared at Jason. She really had no idea what he was talking about. "Umm..sorry? Charades?"

As for the poisoned or the rotten apple, she turned towards her group and said, "In the story, the witch offers the poisoned half of the apple to Snow White and eats the other half herself." Viola paused for a minute and continued, "Well, what if the evil woman or the pharmacist offers the rotten half of the apple to Snow White or...injects poison into Snow White's half?" Okay. That didn't make a lot of sense. She was horrible at this. "By the way, don't you guys think it's better if we change Snow White's name?" Snow White wasn't even a name. Jeez.

K-Lee noticed another lonely person. Looking at the others who she had invited, and Rhys who she was working with, she looked back at Aurora. "Hi, you can join us." She said kindly, smiling up at her. She was being veyr kind today, inviting all these people...
