Muggle Studies Lesson Two: Sports (Football) The Muggle Studies Classroom seems a bit off from its normal appearance as its been seemingly transfigured into a large gymnasium (minus the bleachers). There's a rollaway chalkboard set up at one side of the room with a stack of mats off to the side. "Take a mat and have a seat ... we'll begin shortly," Professor Lesson Progression
|
Making her way into the Muggle Studies classroom, Lux was at first stunned and then pleased. It looked like today's lesson was going to involve a gym which would be super fun and awesome! She loved sports, and wondered what they were going to be playing today. Taking a seat on a mat, she smiled at at Hadley. Yeah, Lux was not ready to call her Nairne yet. "Hello, Professor." She couldn't wait to get started. |
Dec walked in and almost turned around in the same second when he realized their classroom was a gym today. Nope, nope, nope. This is screaming physical ed and physical is not what he wanted to be today or ever. Too bad for him, though, he couldn't just stop going to classes with graduation a month away. Boo. Once he forced himself to not leave, he realized he was the second one there. Fashionably early, it seemed. Char's little friend, Lux, was the only one there, so far. The seventh year pulled up a mat behind her. "Hey Lux, how's it hanging?" He also sent a nod to the professor as if not to be rude, y'know? |
Adi thought he had stepped into a gym and for a moment he wondered how could he not know Hogwarts had one of those. But there was the awesome Head of House. He was in the right place. "Hello, hello, Professor Nairne.'' Adi smiled at the woman. And there were mats. And two Hufflepuffs too. "Hey, Lux, Declan.'' Grins for the Housemates as he took up a place on one of the mats. He was all set for this class to begin! |
Zhenya went to her next lesson, Muggle Studies. She remembered having a lot of fun at a few of those lessons and was looking forward to it. Only, it was a new professor. Huh… another professor she had never met before. "Good day, Professor," she said, greeting the new face. "I'm Zhenya," she said, and went to find a mat. |
WELL this certainly looked like a lesson that would be right up Toby's street. He always ended up liking the classes that required comfortable clothing, as it generally meant something active was on the horizon, and entering into a gymnasium seemed even more promising. "Hi Professor," the Hufflepuff said cheerfully as he strolled in, went to grab a mat from the stack and sitting down on it. |
Time for another muggle studies lesson. As he made his way to the lesson and entered the room, he noticed the classroom was transformed into a LARGE gym. He smiled and wondered what they were gonna do. Maybe play some dodgeball? Some ultimate frisbee? Possibly some basketball? He was filled with ideas he could offer to make this class more fun but he saw some matts on the floor and decided to go sit with the others. As he began to sit down he noticed the Professor in the room and waved, "Hey Professor! I am interested to know what we are gonna do today.." he said looking around the gym. |
Cinna made her way to the first floor to the next muggle studies lesson. She walked into the classroom well gym or so it seemed. This was already was looking like a lesson that she was going to enjoy. She stopper by the professor. Smiled and waved at her "Hello Professor." The gryffindor would never get used to not ever calling her Professor Hadley so Professor would work just fine. She headed over to where the mats were. She picked one out. She headed over to Lux and joined her. She also sent Kace a wave. |
Jasmine arrived for Muggle Studies class and noticed a change in the room. Oh they were going to be in for some fun times, she could tell. "Hello Professor", she said as she headed over to get a mat. On the way back, Jasmine greeted her friends. "Hi Lux, Adi. Seeing her partner in crime, Jasmine said, "Hey Zhenya". Finally arriving at just the right spot, Jasmine put her mat on the floor and sat down. Nothing to do, but wait for class to begin. So Jasmine waited. |
Another day, another class. Not that Benny usually minded muggle studies. However recent events had him uncertain of himself and as much as he tried to hide it, it likely showed. Stepping into the classroom, the fourth year was mildly taken back by the change of scenery but took it in stride. It certainly wasn't the first time magical changes took place from one lesson to the next and it likely wouldn't be the last. "Hello Professor," he greeted the woman simply as he acknowledge her and her instructions. The Gryffindor wandered towards the mats and took one of his own and turned back to survey the room's occupants and debating where to head. Adi was there which wasn't a surprise, his friend commonly one of the first to arrive to a class. Yet he wasn't all to sure about sitting by him, still feeling awkward about the happens in the potions final. Sighing, he decided to take a random spot on his own. |
Being told that they could wear COMFORTABLE CLOTHES was a big delight in Sophie's day, and she welcomed the change of pace. But an even GREATER change of pace was the HUGE room they were in. Wow. Sophie marveled at it before she even fully stepped into the huge gymnasium, clearly not expecting anything other than their usual classroom, then she actually double checked to make sure she hadn't mistakenly wandered to an incorrect classroom on the first floor. But... nooope. This was it, and Hadley was there. The professor must've had something REALLY cool in mind for today's lesson, since she went through all that work to change the setting. Way cool. SOPHIE APPROVED. "Hi professor," Sophie greeted cheerfully, taking a mat from the stack and examining it curiously before choosing to sit on it right near her best friend, who got a bright smile in greeting, as always. Mats made her think of two things - Defense Against the Dark Arts and Mo. Both included yoga, but they both gave her very different feelings. Currently, she was hoping they were NOT going to be doing yoga, but she felt preeeeetty confident that they weren't, given the choice of setting. This didn't seem like the most... zen... place to do yoga, was it? Or whatever they needed for that? Heh. Whatever they were going to do, if they got to compete and be on teams, she wanted to be on Tobes' team for sure. |
Comfortable clothes? Check. Class supplies? Check. Mouth closed and NOT gaping? Yeah.....not so much. Had the classroom really turned into a gym? Were they really going to have a gym class at Hogwarts? Well, at least the whole comfortable clothes thing made sense now. But Heather wasn't and never had been a big fan of gym. She preferred doing physical activity at times of her own choosing instead of a teachers. Not that she was a lazy bum, far from it. She hiked and climbed fairly often. Just when she chose. So it was rather reluctantly that she continued into the gym, grabbed a mat and sat. "Hello, professor." Please don't make us play basketball. |
O_______O What in the name of Merlin? The thing about going to a magical school is that every day is always different. Sometimes you walk into a regular classroom, but most days it's a surprise. Like when you find yourself in the middle of a fashion runway... Or on your way to a spacecenter... Or a gym?It actually reminded him of the one they had at his school before Hogwarts. Zander hardly even thought back to those times, but he couldn't help it seeing this gym here. But somehow... Somehow it felt really out of place. Shrugging a little as he did so, he walked up to his Professor with a small smile and said a quick, "Hello, Professor," before making his way towards the mats. He also learned not to question things here at Hogwarts so instead of asking what was with the mats, he simply grabbed one with a look of slight confusion on his face and walked towards that familiar looking girl sitting down on hers already (Heather). He'd definitely seen her in the Common Room... Or maybe in the Great hall? Either way she was definitely some Gryffindor, so familiar territory and all. 'Sides, Sophie would be with her 'Tobes' anyways and Lux was there with his other friends so he couldn't sit by them.... And that left Benny and Adi, but they were probably awaiting the rest of their clique. So yep. This was it. This was his spot. |
Samantha entered the classroom/gym with a smile and a "Hello, Professor," to Professor Nairne. She grabbed a mat and found a spot to sit, intrigued about what today's lesson was all about. |
The minute Zeke entered the classroom, he regretted it. Not only was he finding Muggle Studies to be completely useless to the art of understanding and BEING a muggle... but this, this was the icing on the cake. He wanted cake. He didn't want gym class... Nobody ever wanted to be his partner in muggle school, and he was always picked last for teams and.... he hated this. It sucked. The ONLY time he didn't mind it, is when they could just HAVE FUN and no worry about fitness or technique or anything like that. ... But Muggle Studies AND Gym... could not possibly be fun. Zeke did as instructed, grabbed a mat and sat. Why hadn't he dropped the subject yet? Professor Nairne received a nod by way of HELLO, but THIS had him in a down mood, so words were not going to be a thing as of yet. |
Angel walked into the classroom. "Good day PRO______________" Angel started to say before changing the subject. "Holey banana's have I taken a wrong turn somewhere?" Angel looked at the room there was mats around. Angel went back out her heart racing it would be bad if she'd accidently gone and ended up at the DADA room when she was supposed to be in Muggle Studies. Angel looked at the door and blew a sigh or relief... it did say Muggle Studies on the door. Angel went back and looked at the Professor. "Good Day Professor." Angel smiled as she went and sat at a random mat, she had a feeling Benny and Adi was cross at her. |
The moment you told Alexa she didn't have to wear a skirt to class, you had her sold. Legit. Skirts hindered certain activity and the lack of skirts meant there would be activity, something that didn't involve chasing her kneazle until one of them got tired and gave up--her, it was usually her. If anyone's pets got eaten it simply stopped being her problem. So here she was dressed for Merlin knows what and ready to enter...the...Muggle Studies....classroom. What the kneazle? For a brief moment she stopped at the door but compulsion set her walking again and finally taking a seat somewhere on the mat. What was this class and why was she suddenly reminded of Muggle Primary School? That was another lifetime away you know. "Good morning Professor. Interesting...er, setup." But what she really meant was probably something along the lines of what in Merlin's soggy gray beard is going on? Same concept really. |
"Hello, Jasmine,'' Adi said to his seventh year friend. He was watching the others file into the class/gym. His eyes followed Benny when he came in. He expected his best friend to come take up a place next to him but that was not to be. With raised eyebrows, Adi watched him take a seat by himself. It was the same when Angel came in. Fiiiiiiine. Adi would sit here by himself then. Obviously things were still not right among them because of the Potions final. Benny failed HIM and there he was acting all up there... hmph. |
WHOAH NOW EDEN WAS NOT A FAN of the gym look. Being HALF muggle meant she had gone to a MUGGLE school before Durmstrang--and just--NO. Eden loved being active--but not in a gym. Sighing, she went inside and tried to find someone to sit by. "G'day, Professor Nairne," she said softly, smiling as she took a seat next to Kace. "Hiyaaa, friend--" she said softly, squishing down on her mat and getting COMFY. HEHE. She waved at Declan, too, and Cinna and Toby and Jasmine! HI ALL FRIENDS. Eden liked seeing everyone--yep. OH AND HI ZANDER. Eden waved at him too. Though..Declan's face...Eden had to droop a bit. Because it reminded her of Rorie. And she didn't wanna' think about Rorie right now...it was making her sad. Also. Eden was VERY much wondering if Hogwarts teachers just..didn't LIKE desks or something because a LOT of her classes lately..didn't use desks. Eden didn't LIKE sitting on the ground for writing purposes--but it wasn't horrible, and it was a CHANGE of things, which was always nice. |
As soon as AJ entered the classroom she noticed the difference. Heck, how could you not? It had a sort of DADA flair to it, but she could tell that it wasn't all similar to how the defense professor would have her classroom. IF anything AJ was intrigued. Several people were already there. She wasn't late was she? AJ noticed that Benny wasn't sitting next to Adi. AJ assumed this had everything to do with potions, and gave Benny a wave before joining Adi. Angel, Zeke, Lex, Zander, Lux, Jasmine, Eden and Zhenya all got waves from her. |
Norah's mouth fell open as she entered the classroom, and she had to remind herself twice to close it before she continued on her way inside. Her mum said leaving her mouth open was "horridly unbecoming" or something dumb like that but what ELSE was she supposed to do when super cool things like muggle studies in the gym happened hmmmmm? Skipping towards the mat, she skidded to a halt in front of Professor Nairne. "Hiii professor!" Grin griiin. With that, she continued her skipping, grabbed a mat, and surveyed the room to see where she should sit. Ummm. Ummmm. With a shrug, she lifted the mat above her head and sat down next to a Gryffindor boy (Zander) she didn't thiiiink she had ever talked to. Hii person. Stretching out on her mat, Norah surveyed the room again, this time making sure to keep her mouth shut. Seeee mum, she could make progress. |
So this was new. Sure, he should have expected something different with this class, especially given the fact that he had to wear his own clothes -- totally rocking the punk rock look, by the way -- but this was NOT what he was expecting. It seemed hard to remember that he was still at Hogwarts when his blue eyes took in the gym in general. And you know what? This was FREAKING AMAZING. He was dead chuffed because it meant that there was a small chance that they would be doing some sort of physical activity. Let them play dodgeball, Professor, he was gonna wipe the floor with flying volleyballs. You know, the pink ones that bounced a lot and sometimes got stuck up on the ceiling because some idiot had decided to throw the ball too high. Speaking of the Professor, "Hello, Professor," he said, giving her a short nod of his head before heading off to grab a mat. Why did they need the mat? He didn't know but he certainly hoped that they weren't about to do some gymnastics. THAT would be boring. Setting the mat down on an empty spot, Grayson sat down on it and waited. |
sorry for the late start. had to take care of some stuff <3. But we said hi back <333 So Josephina could tell by the shocked look on some of their faces considering she herself had never been the athletic sort, but that didn't mean she couldn't appreciate sports and teach about them. "Right then, let's go ahead and get started," the brunette started off, gazing around the room for a moment after it seemed most of her usuals were present. "So no we won't be doing any sort of yoga, but I just figured these mats would be more comfortable than hard plastic, as we first have a brief theory portion before jumping to the activity." Which the activity, would hopefully prove to be informational as well as fun. "Let's start by going over some things that muggles do for recreation, or fun. Just call them out," |
Angel looked at the Professor and smiled as she raised her hand. "They got motor racing like they have Formula One, Le Man 24 Hours and all other sorts of motor racing." Angel really thought it would be cool if she could go racing all the times and get paid for it... She would love to race a formula one car just for fun but she doubted she'd be allowed. |
As more people joined the lesson, Lux waved to her friends. And yay her bestie was joining her. She beamed at Cinna. This was going to be such a fun lesson. Awww, they weren't going to be doing yoga. Too bad. Professor Hadley had probably heard about Professor Romanos' mats. Hehe. Raising her hand, Lux answered the first question. "Muggles like to play baseball." Baseball was a lot of fun. |
