Minerva walked in and had a seat like the Professor said. She smiled the room was so pretty not like she would expect anything less. She always loved how Professor Cerulean had the classroom decorated last term.

Alyssa quickly stepped into Professor Cerulean's office. Just like she had done with the waiting room, her office was decorated beautifully. Alyssa loved the colors AND the furniture. She quickly took a seat on one of the white couches, and like before, immediately sank into it. Alyssa laughed. It was either she had put on a lot of weight and was now sinking into everything or these were the softest couches EVER!!. Alyssa tried to sit up in it as she waited for the Professor to join her.

Gemma smiled at the two girls as they sat down at the seating area. She took a seat across from them in a big blue chair. With a flick of her wrist, her wand shot out of it's wrist holster. She flicked the wand and a tray of drinks and goodies levitated slowly towards them and sat down on the coffee table between them.

She smiled happily and looked up at them, "Welcome ladies!" she said excitedly. "What brings you to visit?" she asked interested to get to know the ladies better.

Minerva smiled at Professor Cerulean "Well I just wanted to stop by and say hello and that I'm looking forward to your muggle studies class even though I was raised in the muggle world your class makes it so much more fun. I also wanted to let you know if there is ever anytime that you need some extra help or anything please feel free to ask I would love to help."

Gemma smiled at the young girl as she picked up a cauldron cake and took a little bit of it. "Well, Minerva..." she paused saying her name as a question to make sure she was saying it right as she sat down the cauldron cake. "I appreciate you coming by...I love students stopping in..." she shook her head up and down slightly.

"O I love when there are other wizards that understand the muggle world...it makes class even more fun to teach when others can share their personal experiences..." she said taking a quick drink of some sweet tea.

Just as quickly as Professor Cerulean offered them "goodies" did Oakey refuse them. No thank you Professor., I'll be happy with some celery sticks and dip if you have any

He then sat himself into one of the comfy chairs got right to what he came to see the Professor for. Professor he started, I really like this muggle movie theater that you have set up. I had an idea for extra credit and I wanted your input on the idea He paused for a moment and looked distastefully at the "goodies" then continued could I write movie reviews for each film that you play for us. It was a brilliant idea in Oakey's mind and he just couldn't let it still still for one more second.

"Oh hello Professor Cerulean. Well I've never been here before and I've almost so much about how nice your office is, so I decided to check it out for myself. But at the same time, I was wondering how you got interested in Muggle Studies. I have a whole bunch of friends who are Muggles back in Los Angeles and I hang out with them alot. I love doing the stuff they do especially surfing, going to the movies and shopping for muggle stuff . But sometimes I find that it is hard to hide what I can do. How do you do it?

Also I noticed how you really decorate up the class for each lesson. I know that it must take up a lot of time and energy and I was wondering whether you could use any help at all getting it ready or taking it down later. I would be most willing to help out." Alyssa told the Professor. 'Plus maybe I could get to check out some of the other Muggle stuff while I'm doing that,'she thought to herself.

Then she heard what Oakey had to say. "Oh wow! That's a good idea too, Oakey. If you allow him to do that for you, Professor, maybe I could partner up with him on that. A review from two different perspectives, if that's okay with you too, Oakey?"

Minerva smiled "Well I was born in the United States and moved around a lot since my dad is in the military. My mom is a witch, but never told us only dad knew in case myself or my brother weren't going to be wizards. So I went to a muggle school, played muggle sports, so I can help whenever you would need and if you need any help setting up or cleaning up please just let me know."

Gemma cocked her head slightly to the left on his veggie comment but before she could answer that she didn't have any, he continued. "Thank you...I thought the theatre would be a fun idea." she listened to his next idea. "Well, I guess you could do that but they would have to be very detailed..." she said hoping that he knew that the reviews were going to need to be high quality to receive extra credit.

The young professor listened and smiled as the girl spoke, "Well, I grew up in a half Muggle/Half Wizard family. Both my mom and my dad made sure that I grew up evenly in both worlds and they strives very hard to make it to where I knew how to blend into both worlds. It was important to them and to their futures and mine..."

She smiled as the girl mentioned her classes, "I try to make them a little bit different but magic does most of the work....makes it a lot easier to charm things and make changes so quickly...but if I need help, I will def keep you in mind!" she said with a nod up and down.

Gemma shook her head up and down slightly as the young girl talked...taking a sip of her tea every once and a while..."I'm from the US as well..I was born in Texas!" she said excitedly. "It's great to meet another Muggle from the US!"

She paused and then continued, "What brought you to Hogwarts instead of attending one of the American Wizarding Schools?" she asked...she knew why she hadn't gone but she wondered about the young girl's reasons.

Minerva looked puzzled "There are Wizarding schools in the US? I actually only new of Hogwarts until recently when one of my friends had to change schools this summer." she thought a moment about why her mom never mentioned it and then she shrugged. "Well I was born in Ohio, so I am a huge Browns fan and Blue Jackets fan in sports. We moved to many different places though one of my favorites was Tennessee." Then she thought about the Wizarding school again "Well maybe since my grandparents worked at the ministry and mom came to Hogwarts she just assumed I should go."

autumn sat down "Hello professor... I .. I just came to ask you something?" Autumn asked dubiosuly " Well I'm Muggle born, been brought up a muggle, but I want to see how you would view and teach upon muggles. So Is it worth me taking the class?? WHat would you think on me entering the class?"

The slight head cock ment that she didn't have anything but "goodies" to offer. That was fine though, The nurse had told him to eat nothing and drink only water for today.

Thank you Professor. Oakey said. I'll write some awesome reviews for you. Oooooh! that sounded even better! Yeah, Lyssie that sounds like a great idea They could even help each other write the reviews and correct them before handing them in.

Seeing the door open by itself he walked in. "Hi I'm Nate Jones. I wanted to stop by to say hello because I didn't get to at the feast."

Gemma shook her head up and down. "Yes there are a couple...." she paused picturing the one she knew of in her head..."I've only visited one of them...it's right outside of New York..." she said with a smile.

Her face lit up, "OOOO Tennessee...that means you're almost a Southerner like me..." she said with her best overexaggerated Southern accent and a little giggle.

The young professor smiled at the young boy, "O I would love for you to come to my first class and see if you like it." she paused to take a drink and then continued, "I enjoy have wizards that were born and raised in the Muggle world...it helps give more perspectives on the lessons that I'm teaching..." she said with a nod up and down. "Plus, it may make the class and homework easy for you..." she finished with a friendly wink.

Gemma shook her head, "Yes I think that would be a great idea...let's say that you should get each review to me within a week of the movie ending..." she said excitedly...she thought this was a great idea for these two students...and it sounded fun! "Just try to keep your reviews up beat...I'd hate for them to just tear apart the movies I chose..." she said with a little laugh.

Gemma stood up and held out her right hand to the boy as he introduced himself, "Well, Mr. Jones, it is nice to meet you and I'm happy you stopped by..." she said with her usual kind smile and upbeat voice...she motioned towards the tray of goodies, "Please come sit down with us and grab something to drink and to nibble on..." she finished excitedly.

Minerva laughed with Professor Cerulean as she talked about being a southerner. "Well I guess you could say that. We lived in Knoxville. It was my favorite place to live." Minerva loved Professor Cerulean she was so nice and fun, but she didn't want to over stay her welcome. "Professor it was great speaking with you, but I don't want to take up all your time. Please if there is anything I could ever help you with let me know. See you in class soon." Minerva said getting up to head out of the office.

Autumn smiled and returned the wink "Thank you professor, I'm a really wierd person i actually like homework, I find it easier to work on my own! Oh is there any like... homework I can do before the first lesson.. or could you give me some? Only if you don't midn you wouldnt have to make it if you didn't want to, I just want to keep myself busy." Autumn said this in a more confident voice this time.

Nate found a seat and sat down. "My sister said that you were one of the nicest teachers she knew. She really liked this class."

Gemma smiled at the young man..."O and who was your sister?" she asked kindly trying to link the young man to a past student.

She shook her head..."O trust me liking work doesn't make you weird, it just makes you studious and more mature than some students..." she said with a simple nod up and down...yes she had been the same way in her studies...didn't leave much time for social interaction but she had made due...extra homework...o goodness...this one was an overachiever, "Well, I don't give homework before a lesson, but the homework assignment following the lesson will be a good one..." she said not really knowing how to answer the student's request...she had never had anyone ask for extra homework before.

She shook her head in a little nod, "Well thank you for stopping by Minerva...don't be a stranger..." she said walking the young girl to the door.

Alyssa's ears perked up when she heard that the Professor hailed from Texas. "Sorry for eavesdropping on your conversation with Minnie, Professor but I just heard you tell Minnie that you were born in Texas. I hope that you don't mind me asking you, but how long have you been living here? The reason I'm asking is that I can still hear your Texan twang although it is faint. I'm also from American, Los Angeles, California. Isn't it a small world? I thought that I was going to be the only American here in Hogwarts until I met Minerva and found out that she was from there too." Alyssa said smiling at her friend.

"Elizibeth Jones. Was the sister that came. My other sister is younger than me though."

Maxwell walked into the office "Hello, Professor thank you for taking the time to speak with me. I just wanted to suggest a lesson that i and i think some of my classmates might find interesting, I was thinking of Muggle literature as a subject for a class."

Gemma smiled at the young man and motioned towards the seating area in the room and she led the way to a comfy spot on the couches. "O well, Mr...." she trailed off to let him fill in his last name...she was horrible with names..."I'm happy that you came by. I am always excited when students have ideas to share..." she said with a little nod of her head and with a flick of her wand a tray of tea and goodies levitated over to the little table between the couches.

She smiled at the student's idea, "O I love it!!! I may have to put together something like that for next term..." she paused and then continued, "I always like to choose a them for each term and I think literature could be a fascinating theme with lots of opportunities to make the classroom setting fun..." she said excitedly as she dropped two sugar cubes into her little blue tea cup.

Maxwel took a seat and started speaking "Maxwell Rookwood, Professor."HE said introducing himself, he figured having this many students made remembering names hell. "I was speaking with one of my House-Mates about Muggle literature and we thought it would be a perfect lesson for your class, and maybe everyone could bring in their favorite Muggle book and share what they love about the story and authors writing style." Maxwell said excitedly.

She smiled at his enthusiasm...and shook her head up and down, "Well, Maxwell, I just love the idea...." she said excitedly with him, "O and I could charm my classroom to resemble a library with books for the students to check out!!!" she took a little sip, "I am sooo happy that you stopped in...this is just a lovely idea..."
