What was going on? The door wasn't letting her through until she stated her name? Preslsey shrugged. She'd gotten the attire memo, so maybe it was all a part of that. "Presley Lynne Black, Ravenclaw." She said clearly. Now what?

Angelina started walking up to the door and saw and heard the other studies saying there names and houses. Even if she was ready for her favorite class she was ciriouse. Walking up to the door, she tried to open the door when the voice came. "Angelina Andrews, Slytherin," She said to the air and the door. She didn't know where to say anything to so all there was is the door.

Holding her arms outfor slight balance, Kurumi made her way to the classroom only to find that the door was shut. Odd, the professor always had an open door policy. Idly playing with her curled hair for a moment, Kurumi tugged on the bottom of her dress and adjusted everything to make sure it was in its proper place and took a deep breath before offering the door a small bow. "I am Kurumi Hollingberry of the House of Gryffindor," she said in a clear and delicate voice.

First the movies and now this formal dinner event! Oh how she loved the muggle studies class! But what to wear? She hadn't found anything suitable enough, at least according to her. She then just tweaked one of dresses and lo! there was her dress as she wanted!

When she arrived on the door, slightly stumbling and slowly, for she wasn't used to theses high heels, she was surprised that she had to make her introductions to the door. Others were making theirs, so why not?

"I'm Ira Wilson, of Gryffindor." she stated, a little more proudly than intended and a little amused.

Melanie walked up to the door, feeling awfully out of place in Hogwarts wearing a muggle, formal dress. Not that the muggle dress part was anything new, but it didn't fit with the flagstone floors, ornate tapestries, and suspiciously mobile suits of armor.

"Er...Melanie Baudin. Ravenclaw," she said to the door, feeling quite silly announcing herself to an inanimate object. Mind you, at Hogwarts, you had to be careful what you considered 'inanimate'.

Vickers patted his pocket, making sure his glasses are safely tucked within. His other hand pressed against his bow tie self-consciously. No matter how many of these events he's attended or witness his grandmother hosting back home, he will never seem to feel comfortable with gigs like these.

He approached the closed door and heard the... doorman? Except this one was literally a door "Vincenzo Vanderbilt. Ravenclaw House." he uttered discreetly but clearly.

Minerva peaked into the door as it opened. She had been to many muggle functions so she didn't know why she was so nervous. Oh that's right Justin and Harvey in the same place. She took a deep breath check her black dress one more time and walked into the room. It was wonderful, nothing she had ever seen before. She wasn't sure even where to go from the breath taking view of the room.

Cornelius found his way over to the Muggle Studies classroom only to find that the door was closed, and as he reached for the doorknob, a loud voice asked him for his full name and house. Eyebrows raising, he gave a grin at the whole process of getting inside, shaking his head before doing as the door asked. "Cornelius Rune, Ravenclaw House," he answered, resting one of his hands in his suit's pocket. He had dressed up as the lesson required, dressed in a nice suit with tie and all, though his tie was just loose enough to make the whole outfit look casual.

Pam was eager to start the lesson. As she arrived to the big door, she said, "Pamphylia Barstow, Ravenclaw House." She awaited for the doors to open, hoping they would soon.

Conrad itched in the slacks and dinner jacket he had chosen to wear for the dinner. He didn't understand why muggles felt the need to dress so uncomfortably just to impress each other.

Walking up to the door, he addressed it using his full name: "Conrad Kentigern McCabe," he said loudly and clearly.

Eino had been closely following his friend Cornelius, though his formal attired hindered movement and distorted his gait. Eino was wearing a skirt, a high-waist and just below the knee black skirt. His shirt had black and white straps, and a matching bowtie. The sleeves were large and puffy, big enough to fit a mountain troll's arm. He was also wearing black tights and, as the only thing that actually looked normal, formal black shoes. He even wore his hair up and some cologne to finish the look. In his head, Eino looked absolutely dashing. He approached the door and found Cornelius standing right in front of him. Eino's curiosity peaked when he heard Cornelius introduce himself... to the door? Looking over Cornelius' shoulder, Eino was rather relieved to find that his friend spoke to inanimate objects, too. He tapped his friend lightly on the shoulder, then took a step forward and mimicked Cornelius' behavior without even attempting to open the door. "Eino Uronen, Ravenclaw House." All he had to change was the name, right?

Dinner Etiquette? Raven had no idea about this lesson, but she was not comfortable with her dress robe, since she was very boyish person. She walked to the classroom, and they need to mention her full name? Okay.

"Raven Avicenna Charlotte, Slytherin House."

Alyssa entered the room the moment the voice announced her presence. She looked around. As she had seen from the doorway, the room had been decorated to look like a beautiful ballroom. She saw that the other students had already arrived and noticed the lanterns floating up near the ceilings. She realized that the Hufflepuff House Tables had yellow lanterns floating above it, so she headed over to that table. She was hoping that Oakey hadn't changed his mind about being her date especially since she hadn't seen him since she served detention a few days ago.

Elise bounced towards the door, her hair in a french twist with two frangipanis in it. A few blonde strands framing her face, Elise felt beautiful. Reaching for the door, El had barely touched it when a cool British accent asked for her name and house.

A little bit surprised, Elise straightened her dress before looking strangely at the door. Normal doors didn't talk... But then, who could describe Hogwarts as normal?

"Elise Alienne Fairfield, Ravenclaw," she beamed. "Nice to meet you, door!" she added quietly.

Delicately touching the flowers in her hair, she fiddled with the strands hanging by her face. Then, she remembered that Erin'd kill her if her hair was ruined, so she stopped. Erin'd done an awesome job with her hair.

As Nate entered the room, he caught Pam in line behind him. Before the door could close, he got her attention and mouthed the words 'find me' as he pointed at a mostly empty table pretty near the door. He couldn't wait to see Jez, if Pam looked so good.

A smile crawled onto Nate's lips as he took a seat. This was amazing, really, and he couldn't help but wonder if Cerulean had done it all--save the door and flying lanterns--without magic...

Beezus glared at the door. Really door? You really really needed to include that small stutter? Breathe Beatrice, a voice inside her kept reminding. And so she did breathe, plastered a small forced smile on her lips as she looked at the door. "Thank you, door."

And after doing so, she entered their Muggle Studies Classroom. Whaaaa--? Waiiiit..where did their classroom go? Did Professor Cerulean sent it away? What happened?!

Beezus just stood at the entrance, dumbstruck at the sight before her. She knew that their lesson's theme was proper Dinner Etiquette yet that setting was too..ravishing. All the decorations were splendid. And that was saying something in Beezus side. She particularly loved the lanterns and the fact that their hall was divided into the different house colors.

She looked around for their Professor. Maybe this term, Muggle Studies won't be that bad for her. But she did not find her, there were just students. So, she decided to take a seat at the nearest Ravenclaw table to her. She needed a rest, her heels were killing her!

Wow so many replies!! *Huggles you all*

Yeah, that door sure was grippy. Beezus couldn't help but smirk. It literally included the slight stutterings. Of course she heard that, the door was announcing before them remember?

There was one poor first year Claw whom the door introduced along with the stutter. Yeah, just like her. And that was why she was feeling bad. Gaaaaaahhh, and it did not even made exceptions. The door did not missed Daichi with his 'uhm' and that Oakey guy with his 'I-oh!'.

Sigh. Really, really grippy door.

Where was their Professor anyway?

Oh, she was getting a nice introduction. Amelia decided that she was wrong about the strange start of the lesson... and was evenmore convinced of that fact when she saw how the classroom was transformed.

It was so cool! She wanted Zayden to come here so that she could dance with him. Shame he was in Slytherin though, and probably wouldn't sit with her. Well... if he came.

She spotted a table with yellow lanterns and headed straight for it before taking a seat.

Introduction to Lesson
 

The lights dimmed slowly and slightly and the door cleared its throat to get the students attention, "It is my distinct pleasure to introduce Professor Ms. Gemma Elizabeth Cerulean, Muggle Studies Professor!" the British voice sounded excited to introduce the professor....plus it meant that the door was done being nice to students.

Gemma walked into the room excitedly. She was hoping that the students enjoyed the evening..the lesson...and the food...especially the food. She walked to the middle of the room so that all of the four sections were on all four sides of her. She smiled at each of the section and did a small curtsy/bow towards each section.

With a flick of her right wrist, her wand shot out of its holster. She flicked her wand and four screens dropped down from the ceiling. Each screen faced a different set of House tables. Then a little cocktail table with a tall bar stool appeared in the middle of the room with a purple napkin and plate and single vase filled with purple water and one candle.

Gemma couldn't help but beam at the students.

"Welcome to the first Muggle studies lesson of the term! Please please please have a seat if you haven't already! I hope that you already feel special with such a formal greeting...It always makes me feel like a princes..." she said motioning her hands down to signal that they sit down.

Then she continued, "I'm hoping that you enjoy this lesson from the attire to the decorations to the theme to the FOOD!" she said this statement with the most emphasis on the food.

Then she turned slightly to face another set of Houses...she didn't want one house to think she was only speaking to them. "Etiquette is defined as the rules for socially acceptable behavior. These type of rules are important in both the Muggle and Wizard World; however, many of the rules vary in each world...some are the same but there are many differences. Today we will focus on the Muggle side of these rules." she said with a slight nod up and down.

"Etiquette isn't new. It may have begun with a behavior code by Ptahhotep, in Egypt's reign of the Fifth Dynasty King DJedkare Isesi." she paused realizing that her History side was shining through and then she quickly continued.

"There are all kinds of opportunities to impress, such as dates, meeting new people, lunch with a peer that you look up to, not to mention the Holidays, plus more and more job interviews being done over a dinner table." she figured she was rambling so she got to the first point.

She motioned to the screens and the table setting appeared on the screen. "If you will take a look at your seating area and the way your plates and forks and drinks are set up..." she motioned towards her table and turned a little bit to face a different couple of tables. "I'm sure you're first question as you look at the table is figuring out which items belong to you...the settings are very close together and this can be confusing..." she flicked her wand and the water glasses, bread plates, and napkins levitated over the table.

"If everyone will hold up their hands and make a B with their left hand and a D with their right hand...." she demonstrated with her hands, "These two hand signals will help you remember which is yours...Can anyone guess what the b and the d stand for? Please raise your hand before you answer...." she said glancing between the tables.

OOC: Remember to raise your hand before you answer. All conversation should end now. Please don't post your charrie coming in late. You can have crazy answers if you would like...Gemma and I love creative answers....And as always remember she is always watching you! But remember she doesn't handle rudeness towards Muggle ways very well, so you might want to keep those prejudices to yourself unless you want face the consequences!

Raven heard her name was called by.. she didn't know who he was. Then she walked and entered to the classroom

"Thank You." said her short. She wondered why did she wait until the stranger called her name. Then she sat at a table that full of spoons, plate, glasss, etc.

Raven looked the Professor demonstrated how could their hands could form B and D.

"Wow." she murmured. Then she tried her hands form B and D too. And what B and D straights from? She confused. Raven thought logically. She raised her hand and answered

"Bread and Drink?"

OH. So the door introduced everyone? HOW CUTE. It was such a sweet door. She grinned at it, before entering the room with a click clack of her heels.

But what met her eyes was unexpected. It was- It was beautiful! So beautifully decorated and wonderfully done. Merlin, it must have taken forever! Though, she imagined it would have taken a significantly less amount of time than it would for a muggle. Nevertheless, the room was still just beautiful. And she couldn't help but fawn over it.

Walking towards the Gryffindor section, the blonde took a seat and waited for the rest of her house, as well as the professor, to arrive. BUT She was here now! The girl grinned, seeing the professor. As she was instructed, she made the signals with her hands, but did not raise her hand to answer the question unfortunately.
