Ella looked up as she realised a few other people in their group.
'Erm.. instead of the kiss the Prince could just.. give her something nstead?' Ella blinked.
She was useless at this.. it didn't help that she had no imagination at all.

"I'll work with you..if you want I mean.." Charlie said quietly but smiling. "I'm Charlie Rimsworth," She added. She was getting better at saying her last name because there had been some strange surnames at Hogwart's so far...

Fee smiled as someone addressed her and nodded happily.Yaay someome to be in a group with.Hopefully they would all get a long.Walking over to the two other ones the blonde waved at them a little."Hii i am Feenella",she said friendly,"nice to meet you."

Nooow lets start unfairying the fairtytale,hehe.Whenever she thought about thst it made her giggle a little."Lets start",the blonde smiled,"what about we list all magical things to see what we have to leave out?"

Ohhh another one calling her name?How sweet.Turning around to see who it was a bright smile grow on the Slytherin's face."Sweet P",she said happily.Making her way to her little friend the blonde chuckled a little.Peyton seemed to have made a lot friends by now and somehow it made Fee proud.After all she was her little firstie.Hehe.

"Sure i can help",the girl wiggled her eyebrows,"what do you have by now?"Now that muggle studies lesson seemed to get really interesting.They surely would find out some crazy facts.The third year was excited how Snow white would sound without all the magical stuff.

Fee just smiled at William and nodded."See i told you",she mouthed.As long as he wasnt mad at her four not grouping up together everything was fine.

"Does anybody want to go in a group with me?" Rachel asked, she noticed that everybody had got into groups and she was on her own.

Daisy was groupless. Again. She was always last to realise they were working in groups. A girl nearby her looked groupless as well, and she looked like a first year too.
'Hi,' Daisy smiled, 'I'm Daisy, I'll work with you if you like, I have no group either.'

"Yup, that's what we ought to do. Though I'm not sure how we do it. Sounds tough." Rhys smiled. He wasn't good at Muggle Studies. How were they supposed tp rewrite an age-old fairytale???

"So, how d'you think we should start?" Might as well take her help.

Connor, Kurumi, Heather, and you all know who you are. XD
 

Zara nodded at Kurumi's suggestion. "Maybe.." She smiled and didn't know what else to say. Well, she had said something about costumes. What else could she contribute? "Yeah, I agree. So basically, the whole story revolves around love. Maybe that prince who passed by took care of Snow White and showed love to her, which is why Snow White felt better and better and was soon, erm, cured of the sickness that the spoiled apple had gave her?" Is it right?

K-Lee nodded, smiling at the enthusiasm Feenella was showing, before looking at Rhys and giving him a quick grin. "Hi, I'm K-Lee, nice to meet you too." She said to Feenella. "Yeah, lets start with a list then. Okay, things that are magical to leave out."

K-Lee thought about it. It had been awhile since she had last seen the movie, or heard the story. She had a general idea of it though. "Okay... um... The poisoned apple is one, the witch, the magic mirror, the seven dwarves, the animals that understood Snow White and... That's all I remember. Anyone know any others?" She asked, thinking hard to see if she had forgotten any.

Selina listened to Kurumi intently as she began to hypothesize about how the story could have been non-magical. Then she proposed a theory about how perhaps it was a lesson about love and the power love has on the human emotional state.

She decided to throw into the pot, "Yeah I follow what you are saying. But maybe the reason why the Queen does what she does is because she doesn't love herself. If that much is true than it would explain why she does what she does. If she has no one around to make her feel insecure than perhaps she believes she will be more beautiful in her own eyes aka the mirror. Just a thought."

Charlie saw a familiar face; Rachel so she approached them.
"Is it okay if I work with you guys too," she asked quietly. She hoped she wouldn't end up on her own.

Not knowing so much people, it didn't come as a surprise to Brielle when she found herself standing alone. Looking around, she could see most of the students already clumping and talking with each other. Lucky for her though, as she looked to the side, she saw a few students silently approaching each other--a few students, that at the moment, was alone like her.

Running up to them, Brielle smiled widely. "Hi there, do you mind if I group with you, too?"

Catching up. *dies* SO MANY things to reply to! ...
 

Iris smiled as Kurumi moved over for her to sit with the group of younger students.

"Well... Yes and no. I mean, it's perfectly possible for people to live out in the middle of nowhere. After all, I do." She nodded slightly. On the edge of a big forest, too. "I suppose they COULD have all been real dwarfs; a family, so to speak. They could have been brothers. It's not uncommon for dwarf couples to have large families."

Iris considered Kurumi's idea. "I suppose it's possible. Hmm. Yes. I think you've got a good point there."

Glancing down at her own parchment, Iris jotted down some ideas. So, the Dwarfs were either actual, or allegorical/metaphorical. Wicked.



Iris looked at the boy, with an amused grin. He really did like to think outside of the box.

"I definitely think that insanity could be the answer to the Mirror and the Step Mothers appearance. The woman might've been delusional, or obsessed with her appearance and the want to be young. Jealousy of Snow White might've lead to the insanity..." Iris nodded, adding further notes to her notebook.



As Kurumi mentioned how Snow White was originally blonde, Iris laughed. "I think the main reason for that change in the story is obvious." Well, other than the fact that stories ALWAYS change until they're put down on paper. "When the Muggles made it into a movie, they decided that from a visual viewpoint, dark hair looked more innocent." Iris looked to the boy, who's name she assumed was Connor. "Connor, right. Say there's a broken vase on the floor. Looking between Me and Kurumi, who would you think were more innocent? ... Ignoring the House badges. Looking just at hair colour. I'd personally go with Kurumi looking more innocent." With a shrug, Iris smiled a little. Awkward...

Anyway! Moving back on to what they were actually meant to be talking about.

The Kiss.

Hmm.

Iris liked the idea of kisses being that powerful. She didn't really want to play with it...

"What if... What if the kiss was ACTUALLY a kiss? Like... I mean, not a snog - as the story suggests - but that one the Muggle's use when someone's passed out. What do they call it? ... Ahh. Um. The kiss of life, or something. CPR? I'm not sure. But it's the Muggle equivalent of 'Enervate'." Yes. That seemed most logical to Iris. She drew a couple of love hearts in the corner of her page. She still reckoned that it was just a kiss that brought Snow White out of her coma-like state. Love is POWERFUL and all that jazz...



Iris liked this girl's thinking. "You have to remember the time in which this story was originally written, though. It was like... the 1700's. There were no Halloween costumes and Department Stores." The Head Girl glanced down at her notebook, not intending to bash down the girl's idea so harshly.

"But... There's one thing the story NEVER goes into. That's the timeline. We never really get told how long Snow White is away from her stepmother for. It could have been decades. If she ran away at, like, 14 - " Iris didn't know this story well. She didn't care much if she got the little details wrong though, either. " - then twenty years on would leave her at 34, an age where she could still be beautiful. However, in those 20 years, the Stepmother could have gone insane with jealousy and desire and the want to be as beautiful as her step-daughter. As she would already have been rather old before Snow White ran away, she would most likely have aged considerably while she was absent." Twenty years was a long time. Long enough for an older person's appearance to change so considerably that a younger person wouldn't recognise them...



"There's also that too, yes. I really like that idea..." Iris thought that this idea, combined with the one she'd just shared, were brilliant examples and ideas that could suggest the trooooth. Hehehe.



Iris had zoned out a little. She'd stopped listening to what the younger students were saying, instead letting her train of thought sail off to some older memories. Was the Pumpkin Patch still here? Or did the new groundskeeper get rid of it? She hoped he hadn't... that would be a shame if he did... Her thoughts only returned to the group when Kurumi made a peculiar suggestion about why the story was written.

She cocked her eyebrow, and pursed her lips. "Hmmm.... Perhaps. It's an idea... and it explains a lot of the qualities of the story which are "magical"..."

Sory about my AWOL-ness, went to cinema and stuff..
 

Oakey, my boggart man, she grinned at the kid, she liked Oakey, even though he had a habit of being a doombringer. Ah well, Hogwarts would cheer her up, she was sure of it. Hogwarts just did that to you, she'd started her first year HATING the school, and now she cried when she left it, sure you can join us she grinned.

Yeah, so short people non magical, well Amy shrugged, this was going to sound soooo non P-C, maybe they're just actual midgits, oooor, this was better, children? She suggested

Amy turned from her group, Penny, right? Amy asked tilting her head, thinking, yeah, Penny. Or maybe not, but she was pretty sure it was Penny...definatley Penny. Sure Amy grinned at the girl, budging around so there were free seats

SIMON? There he was. And she hadn't seen nor spoken to him once. Wow. She was a bad friend, because she had seen him, in the tryouts, and hadn't spoken to him. *Awkward* Sure she nodded, if Simon doesn't mind putting up with me

To say they'd had an explosive friendship was an understatment. A huge one.

Ooooh oooh, what about instead of a mirror you have...umm, she chewed her lip unsure, I dunno she shrugged, a gossipy ladies maid? she suggested

Aurora smiled at the friendly face. "Thanks, so where are we?" She asked. "And does anyone have any idea what this has to do with an education? I mean, I was a bit wary about muggle studies but I though it was about trying to get by without magic?" She whispered.

Penny listened to Oakey thinking that that could work...poison the whole apple.....
"ok so say we poison the whole apple, it can't be a witch that gives it to her - How about it's an old beggar woman the stepmother has paid to deliver it.?."





Penny smiled at Amy..."yeah, it's Penny...thank you", sitting down on one of the free seats...

"I'm not sure about children... I mean there are dwarves ('midgets' to quote Amy) in the muggle world - so I don't actually think we need to do much witt them..except..."..Penny thought for a moment.."Maybe give them differents jobs - I mean in the muggle world you wouldn't see a dwarf working down the mines !!"...

"I like the idea of instead of the talking mirror, it's a person - but if the person is going to be telling the stepmother she is beautiful, then shouldn't the person be a man...I dunno...like a butler or something who is like totally in love the her !!"

Then turning in her seat, smiled at Simon.."Hi Simon, I'm Penny"

" The daughter of the pharmicist is a good idea" William told Michael. " How about we add a male who is really shy especially around beautiful women like Snow White, but he loves her from afar as he thinks she would not notice him" William said to Alex. " He could be like a cobbler's son" William expalined to Michael and the rest of the group.

" I did not say Charades was a good idea" Willaim told Viola." We could make the Evil Woman Snow White's best freind and Snow White did not know about her jealousy. but I like the part of the apple" Willaim said to Viola.
" How about use Viola and Sienna as the names?" Willaim asked everyone. " The professor might like we incorported some of our group into the story" Willaim explained to his group.

William mouthed the words " I know" to Fee. " Do good but not as good as our group" Willaim mouthed these words to Fee. William then laughed.

Simon hadn't heard anyone say his name, he had just been looking at the Professor. "See I told you no one would want to work with me, I'm a trouble maker where people are concerned and so they don't want to work with me or know me." Simon sighed, well he was a Prince and didn't care when they thought, he had thousands of fans back in Hollian.

sorry imma late hun >_<
 

Salander leaned on his elbow and scrunched up his face, trying to think hard "Nothin'." he quipped "...Just some boring story about two women-- a has-been beauty and an young up and comer, arguing on who's prettier and dragging a whole buncha guys into their squabble." Then he looks at Lexi sheepishly "Sorry babe, beauty contests are great an'everything, but once you girls starts getting all nasty at each other it usually takes the fun out of the watching-- unless it involves some kind of mud wrestling." Smiiirk.

"That is something interesting though-- the Queen kept asking who was the fairest in the land, just like a beauty contest. And people get hired to do dirty work like taking out the competition--poisoning them... slashing them up. Sounds something like what a Mafia would do."

Finlay just laughed at Neptune's look, and grinned at her. "What they are!?!" He was totally telling the truth. "Clearly the prince agrees with me." Which was funny cause Finlay was totally a prince. But surely that would mean Neptune would have to be a nurse. Totally. He'd like that idea.

Ooh. The kissing bit. "Actually I think I'd be pretty good at discussing kissing." He laughed again, because well he was a big expert on kissing. "I think you'll agree Tuney." he smirked at her. Yes. Neptune. We know that you know.

"But yeah....the kissing bit is kinda important. I mean....what kind of epic man can wake up girls by kissing them!" Finlay wanted to get some tips from him.

everyone should look at Legend's picture =D
 

"I know that! I just forgot...you guys started talking about a Queen and bad feet, how am I suppose to remember that the story is even about Snow White." YEAH. How was he? Legend had no clue. He just continued to make pictures (now of the septuplet maintenance men who were strangely tiny).

"Oooooohhh I guess That makes sense. You're pretty smart." Smarter than he thought! That was crazy. So the different men helped out more? Yeah....that could work.

Legend looked down at his picture. It was basically complete.


"You can't do that! There needs to be some thing with the apple!" Legend said repeating what Treyen said, only ruder. He had to make it sound like it was an original thought after all.

"No it won't! Professor Zoo doesn't want to hear anymore about kissing. And If I tell you you'll go and run to him and creep him out like always" Legend rolled his eyes. He didn't know how the Muggle Studies Professor dealt with all the teenage girls.

"Plus, how would a kiss wake someone up from death?" Even the most AMAZING kiss couldn't do that. "What if he was just kissing her for so long that she couldn't breath and just like jumped up and was like 'HEY I CAN'T BREATH!' and then after she realizes that he actually saved her life." Wait...when had they jumped to the kissing part again?

"You talk about kissing then Finlay." Yeah, go on! Go on, Mister Head Boy! Legend didn't want to talk about it anyways. "I'm writing, so your job is to figure out the kissing. Go. Do it."

Savannah slowly waked up form her daydream. What? What? Fairytales again? Savvy probably missed out half of the class. She didn't get a really good sleep the day before. Everyone seemed to have to have groups, so can Savannah work alone?

"Can I work alone?" Savannah asked hopefully. She doesn't feel like working with anyone today.

"Simon, I thought you were part of our group" William told him. 'why not join us?" Wiliam asked Simon. Willaim could care less if Simon is a prince.

Hey why don't we make the setting in New York City! Oakey felt like this was his greatest idea ever. the Dwarfs can just be really short and stocky construction workers or sewer maintenance workers.

The Queen could be a Pompous rich lady with a Butler who is forced to tell her how pretty she is when ever she asks and Snow White can be a pretty lady that passes the Butler and he falls in love with her.

Oakey was on a roll now. Can we combine the part of the mirror with the prince? Oakey wanted to do more with the Butler.

Amy, Isobel, Oakey, Penny, Simon
 

Penny liked Oakey, but he was just a continual surprise to her... whenever she 'thought' she had him figured out - he shifted the goalposts again...

"Thats actually a really good idea Oakey", smiling...

So now, Penny thought, it's time to put quill to paper..

Text Cut: Snow White

Once upon a time, in a large faraway city called New York, lived a beautiful and sweet woman...

She dreamt that one day she and her husband would have a beautiful baby girl.. and her dream came true and she did have a beautiful baby, but sadly she died just after the birth, making the child motherless....

The husband remarried again, but this woman was not like his first wife, she was vain, conceited, bossy and arrogant..

Everyday the woman would ask her butler who was the prettiest in the city/country/world? and every day the butler would reply that she was the prettiest..

Until one day the stepmother asked the butler and he gave her a new answer - that another girl was the prettiest of all girls.... and her name was - - -

The stepmother fumed, jealous that this child that she helped raise would be more beautiful than she..
She ordered her chauffeur to drive her a really tough area of the city, where she hired a thug to kill the child...
