Minerva made her way to muggle studies. She was having not such a great day, but wasn't even sure why. Maybe she had just woke up on the wrong side of the bed or something. Walking into the room she looked around. Giving the best smile she could to Professor Cerulean, "Hello Professor" She hadn't spoken much lately to Professor Cerulean, not as much as she use to a few terms ago.

Thinking about that as she found a seat, Min decided she would need to fix at that and make a point to visit her soon. Finding a place to sit, she sat down and pulled out her parchment and quill, mind going from Professor Cerulean to wondering what they would be learning in class today.

Jory headed down to Muggle Studies. He liked those classes even though he knew all about muggles but he still found it fun to learn about them from the ways Wizards saw them. He wondered what they would be learning about today.

"Good day, Professor,'' the seventh year greeted the woman when he entered the room. He looked around. Only Minerva was there. Heh. He was pretty early. "Hi, Min,'' he called taking a seat not too far from her.

Muggle studies.

Ella skipped into the classroom, a cheerful smile on her face. Quidditch excitement was in the air and the blonde was in a an extremely good mood as she greeted the Professor. "Hello!" BEAM.

She gave smiles to those she knew and settled into a seat in the middle of the room.

Nigel walked into Muggle Studies thinking about what types of Muggle things he liked to do. He did like reading muggle comic books. But other than that. Nigel did not really know.

"Hello, Professor" the ravenclaw greeted her politely. Now the only question Nigel wanted to answer was where was he going to sit.

AHHHHH YES.

Tobias was quietly confident about this lesson. In fact, he was most eager to attend it. Technically, he was of wizard decent and all that, but he knew loads about muggles because, you know, he'd lived as one. That was the main reason he was here... not to get a wizarding perspective (though that could be interesting) or anything like that, but because he felt sure that he could do well in this class.

Plus, he was only twelve... maybe there were things he could learn about muggles. The most Tobias had experienced of muggle life was only the stuff from his home environment and from things at school. So he figured he'd have a headstart in this class equal to one that the wizarding family kids had in the other classes.

So yeah... basically, you know... confident. Ah yis.

In his usual energetic fashion, Tobias bounded into the classroom with a big grin on his face. He looked around, noting the amount of Hufflepuffs in the room, and the classroom as a whole. Still smiling, but saying nothing just yet, Tobias went and sat next to the Hufflepuff captain, hyperactively fidgeting as he waited for the class to start.

Muggle Studies... This was interesting! Sonea had never had the chance to learn about the muggles, her parents didn't liked them and Sonea had never been allowed to talk to them, but she had secretly always been curious about them and now she could learn about them! Sonea was also curious how they could live a normal 'muggle' life without using magic and why her parents didn't liked them!

Slowly, very slowly entered Sonea the classroom, she was not sure what she could expect from this class, she had missed this lesson during her first year because she had problems at home. Sonea looked around her in the classroom and saw the professor, quickly she walked to the professor and smiled politely, "hello professor" said Sonea and searched for a place to sit in the classroom.

Theo loved Muggle Studies because it was soooooooooooooooooooo easy.

He joined the classroom, looked around at everyone in the room so far, then took a seat at the very front of the room. Theo liked getting front row seats, unless it was potions or arithmancy, because he concentrated better. And gosh, he needed to concentrate a lot. "Hi, professor." He said as he swept imaginary dust from his desk.

It was a natural thing since Charms.

Laura walked into the classroom this was one of her favorite subjects and she loved working on different things, she so couldn't wait to see what they would be working on today. "Good Day Professor." Laura smiled. "Did you have a lovely summer?"

Kace was keen on this classroom. From what Belle told him, they actually dressed up as superheroes one time and learned about bedtime stories. From one thing he was glad his dad was a muggle and his mom was a witch because he learned from both sides.

As Kace made his way to the classroom, he was glad he found it. He was getting used to the castle and learning the secret passages to make it quicker to get there. Once he made his way into the room, he noticed a few students were in the classroom. He seemed like he was the only first year here so far but then he saw another one and knew he wasn't alone.

Kace saw the professor and nodded towards her. She seemed nice and Kace smiled and said, "Good day Professor." Then he found a seat in the middle of the room and waited to see what this lesson had in store.

Today would normally feel like a lazy day for her but 'cept it didn't!! Lex was as awake as ever and in fact she felt like she'd just induced a jar of sugar, which really couldn't have happened because this class was above the kitchen and she didn't have enough time to make a trip down there before heading here.

Didn't matter though!

Muggle Studies meant cupcakes and SUGAR juices!!!

Lex skipped into the room....no Professor as yet...hm...Ah well. Lex skipped over to the table and helped herself to a few cupcakes and something to drink then she plopped down in one of the big comfy chairs, waved to the people she actually liked and got ready for the moment the Professor would walk in and get the lesson started. By the look of the powerpoint, she could tell she would like it.

Now THIS was a class that Ascanius was actually looking forward to, yeah? It had a FEMALE Professor and was about Muggle things, so stuff that he knew. Finally, it was going to be refreshing NOT going into a class blind. When he didn't have a clue what he was talking about, Ascanius tended to just phase out. No need to listen, you know?

Pfft. Yeah, so anyway, he walked into the room and threw on his famous smirk. Well, famous to himself and such. And then he walked down the main row to approach his Professor. "Hello Professor." Pause, "You look lovely today," and look at that. She really did. Ahem, so did EVERY girl in this school. Wink.

And then he found himself a seat. A squishy one.

WHOAH.

What on earth? Everything's clean and neat, good technology stuff, free food and drinks, and relaxing chairs. Zeke was all smiles, this seemed like a pretty interesting class. MUGGLES RULE!

Now if only there were ice cream around....

He looked around some more and watched as the other students began greeting..the air? Who were they calling Professor? Blink. The Gryffindor looked around some more. He wasn't seeing any professor. Weird people with their hallucinations. Oh well. One thing was for sure though, there were TOO MANY HUFFLEPUFFS. He could just drown in them. But this seventh year didn't mind at all. Nope, he was too happy.

It was if he was being turned back into a firstie. As his blue eyes read what was written on the board, the brown haired boy immediately wondered. 'What are mugshots? Short for er, Muggle....shots? Or a way to say Muggles are hot? Or mugs you use for shots? WHAAAAAAAT?'

Anyway they were probably learning about money, thanks to the signs on every corner of the room from the dollars on the cupcakes to the powerpoint thing. Movies. Could they please watch a Muggle movie? That would be very nice. He walked towards the place where food could be found, dragging his bag along with him. He'll find a comfy seat later. There were a lot anyway.

Okay, cupcakes. Thanks Professor wherever you may be. And sodas. Yep, thanks again. He brought this along with him as he sat along the front while casually eying the weird kids who greeted an invisible professor. Zeke would be good faaar away from those. Yessir. Wouldn't want to be getting hallucinations...except if they're of ladies. Mehehe. But that's another story. PLUS MISTER YOU HAVE GWEN. Moving along, he rested against his seat and took a bit out of the cupcake, wondering what on earth that P with two horizontal lines meant. There were all sorts of them really, but there were only a few familiar to him. However Zeke chose the one with P just because well erm, no reason at all. Princess? Pretty? Professor? Pshhh.

skip, skip, skip Oh Mackenzie was excited about muggle studies. She couldn't tell you why, but she knew she loved the professor. Entering the room she saw cupcakes and soda, just like the cleaning club meeting. "Hello Professor! You're well today I hope" Mackenzie walked as calmly as possibly to the table and cooler picking up a cupcake and the opening the cooler for a soda. Finding a seat she sat down, wow how quickly the professor had changed out the chairs. The blonde took a bite of her cupcake waiting on class to begin

Melanie had a picture of herself, yes. It was tucked into a folder which was tucked under her arm. As a matter of fact, she had loads of pictures of herself thanks to something called a printer and a computer and a cellphone. Selfies ftw? However, despite however many pictures she had, Melanie's favorites were the ones that one of her cousins took. You see, her cousin quite enjoyed photography and making Melanie do photoshoots. Which she didn't mind. Practice for being famous, because when she was famous and older and a proper singer, she'd have an album. Then on that album, there would be a picture of her and to get that picture, she'd have to go through photoshoots which was why she sat through the makeup and the dressup and the whatnot. Melanie was curious about this Muggle Studies class though.

Why did they need a picture of themself?

The Gryffindor entered the classroom and her mouth dropped open slightly before closing it and pursing her lips, nodding. Pretty, pretty. Melanie liked it, it was like a movie theater minus the red seats. Melanie glanced at the board, nodded her head again and grabbed a drink before flopping into one of the seats, placing the folder on her desk. She'd leave the folder closed for now.

Mika had bounded into her pretty much favorite class other than runes that is. "Hey Professor Cerulean" she smiled and waved at the Ravenclaw head of house. She was so nice, she liked her. And not to mention she always had the best muggle foods in classes.

"Hey Ascanius" she beamed as she dropped into one of the squishy seats near the Slytherin boy. It was totally her favorite seat the one that had a bit of give to it. She took a sip of the soda she had picked up from the cooler on the way over. "Aw, I miss this stuff," she said as she glanced down at the lemon soda in her hand. "Oh I heard you made the Slytherin quidditch team I have to say congratulations!" She beamed at Ascanius and leaned back into the seat.

Susan headed over to Muggle Studies. Susan sometimes had a hard time in this class depending on what they were learning about. Her grandfather was a muggle but Susan was raised by using magic from her parents. So some things she did know, but others were really foreign to her. Luckily Sue had Min to help her with things. That is if Min was still talking to her. Sue really messed up the other day when she pranked Min and Ethan. Sue frowned and tears came to her eyes when she thought about it. No, she couldn't cry in class. She had to pull herself together.

Susan walked over to where Professor Cerulean had laid out some cupcakes and soda. Awesome, the cupcakes looked like the money that Sue saw Min use when they were in the States. Sue ate her cupcake and decided to pass on the soda. She wanted to be able to sit still during class. Susan read the board when she took her seat. Oh right, Sue dug in her book-bag and pulled out her small face picture. She thought it was a little invasive with just a close up of her face but Sue just shrugged and placed it on her desk and waited for the professor to arrive.

As Sky walked into Muggle Studies, a genuine smile crossed her face. It was nice to know that, even though the school was in a constantly deteriorating state, some things never changed. It didn't even bother her that Professor Cerulean was nowhere to be seen. She'd show up in time for class. She always did.

Sky walked over to the table holding the cupcakes and carefully picked out one with the American dollar sign on it and grabbed a soda. Mmmmhmmmm. This was more like it. No dirty classroom, no dirt blowing back into people's faces, just delicious cupcakes and drinks. And comfy chairs, as she found out when she took her seat. She just back in the chair with her eyes closed, soaking up the comfort and cleanliness.

Moneyyyy. Money. Who didn't love a lesson on money? Nobody. Obviously. Money was fun. Especially the kind that had pictures on it. And Anya was pretty sure most countries had pictures on their money.

She happily entered the classroom. Hmm... no Professor.

But there were cupcakes! She grabbed one and a soda and took a seat. She then placed the picture in her lap, as instructed, and helped herself to the food in her hands.

The Professor clicked into the room in a light lime suit and with matching heels. She had her usual smile on her face and a little jump in her step. To say she was always happy was an understatement. She smiled as she walked through the chairs and then when she made it to the front of the room. She paused and grabbed a Muggle Dr. Pepper before going to her usual spot at the front of the room near the board and under the projections screen. With a snap of her fingers the projection stopped and she cleared her throat a little bit before beginning.

"Welcome to Muggle Studies One! I'm excited to see so many returning faces and so many new faces!" she said making eye contact with each student in the room, "First thing, since this is Muggle Studies, all magic is discouraged. I will occasionally have things charmed or use magic to present different aspects of a lesson but students are encouraged to live in a Magic Free Zone while in the Muggle Studies classroom." she said with a little nod up and down, "Also, please remember that when I'm talking or when another student is talking that all conversations should be kept to a minimum." she said sweetly to the class.

The she took a little step towards the board and flipped it over so the other side showed. Then she wrote in her curly handwriting as she read out loud, "Muggle Money-Currency from around the World" Once she had it written and decorated, she turned back to the class, "This term we will focus on Muggle Money and we'll start with a lesson on the different currencies around the world that the Muggle societies use." she said and with a snap of her fingers black sheets of paper flew to each of the desks attached to the chairs followed by Muggle markers, rolls of tape, and colored pencils. Then with a twist of her wrist the projection began again above her head.

"Let's get things started...shall we?...." she asked really to no one, "I asked that you bring a photo of yourself facing forward..." she paused and looked around to ensure everyone had brought one, "Watch the presentation above and choose one bill design that you like the best. Using this design as inspiration and your picture, create your own bill with your picture on it. Feel free to be as creative as you would like" she said excitedly. "I'll give you a few minutes to work on this. Once you have yours designed, please use the Muggle tape to tape it to edge of your desk." She began circling through the room to see what creativity she would have in the class this term.

OOC: Okay class has started so conversations should be ending soon...remember Gemma can see you at all times... *DUN DUN DUN*....you can either use a graphics program of your choice, or draw and scan/take a picture of your creation, or use this website to create your money....remember we want a picture of your character as the main face on the money. Have fun with this! I'm excited to see what you come up with!

Amara was a bit excited about this class. One could say she had been looking forward to this one. Yes, she had been. Since the time when she'd become an absolute fool infront of her muggle counterparts, she had been determined to know somethings about them. She couldn't wait to get the muggle things right, so that next time she met Casilda they could have some relevant talk. The last one was an ultimate disaster and her mum had to interfere to rescue it.

Muggle Studies classroom looked as if it wasn't affected by the Hogwarts crisis...even a bit. Weird. And today's class was about money! She looked at the display of different currencies. Thinking they should change all of them to knuts, she munched into her the professor's cupcake. That way they could have more coins to enter the various turnstiles filled rooms. THEY SHOULD.

The professor soon walked into the class, and lo the lesson began. No chit-chat, straight to the subject. She took out the picture of herself she'd brought to the class as instructed. It was a rather good picture. They'd taken it last summer on their trip to Brazil....and she decided she'd go with the Brazilian currency.

Because she knew it was Brazilian and she kind of liked the look of it.

She found an empty parchment from her bag and began with the task in hand. Sketching wasn't exactly her forte, but she wasn't very bad at it. She looked at the currency, scanning for details and then began incorporating that into her parchment.

SKETCH. SKETCH. SKETCH. When she was done a few minutes later, she just spent the next seconds admiring her handiwork. Good job, girl!



After she was done admiring with lion pride she moved on to taping the picture to her desk. And she would take it later, ofcourse. Probably owl it to mum. As she cut the sticky tape, she thanked merlin and mum that she knew some basic muggle stuff. STICK. STICK. She tapped the drawing on all corners to the desk.

What's next?

Give the students some real currency and send them back. HEH.

delete please

No magic? Sonea stared at the professor and had not suspected this, yes, she had known that this was a lesson about the muggle world, but she had suspected that she would need to use her wand! But, Sonea had no problems with it, she had hoped that she could use her wand to make everything better but it was also no problem if she couldn’t use magic. “Okay…” said Sonea slowly while she tried to understand what the professor wanted. She had never seen Muggle money so she was a little surprised when she watched it.

The money was strange…
But, the task was not so difficult and she started to work with the muggle money.

When she was done she looked frowning at her creation, it was strange to see her own face on it!


Sonea was not sure if she needed to take the money she just had made with her, but if she could do it she needed to hide it for her parents, mum and dad didn’t liked Muggle stuff and they would not been happy if they would see this!

After Sonea was done she tapped her drawing on her desk and waited for more instructions.

Laura listened to the Professors instruction and then took out a 5 pound note, she wanted to make sure her sketch was the best even though she wasn't very good at drawing, though she wished that it was really money because maybe she could try and use it then but she doubted it, she got on with the work and once she was done she used the muggle tape to stick it to the edge of her desk.



Laura looked at it, that was were her face belonged, she would love to have her face on there all the time and on some really money it would just be awesome if that happened surely she would look great and everyone would get to see how awesome she was.

NOT being funny or anything but whaaat was the professor wearing? West eyed her outfit and judged her. Judged. More judging happened when she decorated what she wrote on the board and read it out. West wasn't so sure he liked being taught like he was in kindergarten, but hey, at least there was food. He was making short work of that.

He had his picture of course, and was fully prepared to do a bit of drawing, even if he wasn't yet sure why they were. But okay. Drawing was cooler than most of the things they had to do in lessons, he wasn't going to complain.

West alternated eating with drawing and soon had his money done. He grabbed the tape and taped it on the front of his desk and then sat back to focus on eating and drinking the free food again.
