Trina was always happy to take a fun class, and introductory classes usually were. As students filed into the classroom, she stood behind the desk with her hands flat on its surface and a smile on her face. "Hello everyone! I suppose you're wondering who I am." Her smile widened as the students took their seats. "My name is Professor Adelia, and I will be substituting for Professor Phillips, who I'm sure you know is your muggle studies teacher. Today will mostly be an introduction to the muggle studies course." The elective subjects were always interesting, people had a more vested interest. She was careful, however, to abide by the outlines of the regular teachers.
"Up on the board, you can see a set of guidelines for this course, if you take note of these and follow the rules, you should do very well." She gestured behind her to the words she'd written before the class began.

Subject Overview:
This semester will be predominantly focused on muggle cinema and films. Your first lesson, beginning next week will be an introduction to muggle cinema. Later lessons include learning how films are made, learning the significance of muggle actors and actresses and learning about famous films. Near the end of the semester there will be a class field trip to a muggle movie theater so we can all have a first hand experience of what watching a film in a movie theater is like.

Rules:
1. You are allowed to bring your wands to class, but please refrain from using them or any kinds of magic unless you have been told otherwise.

2. Be respectful to everyone in class.

3. During practical parts of the lesson you are allowed to speak freely however at any other point in the lesson you should only speak after raising your hand.


As some of the students moved to make notes, Trina nodded "Yes, I encourage you to take note of the syllabus, and for today's homework, I would like you to inform me of one thing you already know about muggle cinema, as trivial or technical as you like, in preparation for next week's class." With that, she sat down, before adding "Class is dismissed, but if any of you have any questions, please let me know!" Muggle Studies,5,1

Muggle Studies was one of Matthew's favorite subjects. He heavily disagreed with the way most other wizards seemed to view muggles. He always thought they were inredibly smart and interesting, and that the magical world could learn a lot from them. His own father dismissed muggles a lot, even though he worked closely with them, and it made Matthew very angry.

He wondered what Muggle Studies would be like at Hogwarts New Zealand, and how much it would differ from the way he had been taught the subject at Ilvermorny. It had been one of his favorite parts about transferring to this new school: seeing and comparing how subjects were taught to students here.

When he entered the classroom he expected to be the only one not to know the professor, but it seemed like she was a stranger for everyone here. Their real professor was absent, and Matthew felt a bit disappointed. He hoped they would return soon because he wanted to meet all the people that would take is OWLs soon.

When he saw that this semester would focus on muggle cinema and films, he couldn't help grinning. His own interest in photography wasn't too far off that subject, and he couldn't wait to learn more about it. He had a feeling this would be his favorite class this semester, maybe this whole year. He wrote down the rules, finding them all reasonable. Then he got started on the homework before the class ended.

Muggle cinema was invented a lot later than muggle photography. It was actually made by making a lot of pictures in a row and playing them together very quickly. Muggle cinema is similar to wizarding photography in some ways, but it has sound and he movements of the pictures is always the same every time you watch it. It's a little bit like reading a book but having it play in front of your eyes.

[justify]A new professor was certainly not what Amy expected when she walked into Muggle Studies feeling excited once more for another year of this subject. She adored it and she found it interesting, as she hadn't really grown up the muggle way, having parents who were both magical and only having a few half blood cousins she barely saw twice a year did have its cons. Amy didn't mind though, as long as every time she saw her family they taught her how to go about doing things the way muggles do it. In her opinion, people who had been exposed to both worlds had the most benefit but a lot of people believed otherwise. She took a seat and waited for the professor to introduce herself, seeing as she was new.

Amy loved meeting new people and she knew she was going to enjoy this teacher's class, because she seemed kind enough. She furrowed her eyebrows, her previous thoughts about her teaching them for the semester proved wrong the moment she heard the word 'substitute'. She did wonder where Professor Phillips was, as she hadn't expected him to miss the first lesson but nevertheless, as soon as the lesson was underway the fifth year took down what was on the board and when Professor Adelia gave the homework, Amy immediately began writing. At least, what she knew which unfortunately wasn't much. She'd have to make sure she asked her younger cousin Hera soon. When the bell rang, she hadn't quite finished and wanted to find out a little more about it so she stuffed the piece of parchment in her bag and thanked the professor before leaving.[/justify]
