[justify]Jonathon stood in the same spot at the front of the class he always did, and waited for each seat to fill before welcoming the Seventh years in his usual cheerful tone. "Good afternoon everyone!" He scanned the room to note that every student had remembered to dress in muggle clothing. "I can see you're all dressed appropriately in muggle clothing, which brings me to the subject of today's lesson." After a moment-long pause he continued. "Muggle fashion. Where do I begin? Well, the word fashion is defined as 'a popular or the latest style of clothing, hair, decoration, or behavior'. Which I guess explains part of what I'm going to talk about today." Jon was very much at a loss for words because he was never particularly interested in fashion. He continued to speak anyway, keeping his lesson notes in mind. "Muggles follow fashion trends just like magical folk do, and just like in the magical world, in the muggle world we also see a resurgence of trends every few years. Muggle skinny jeans are an example of a re-surging muggle fashion trend. Do you understand what I mean?" He queried the class in case any of the students needed an extra explanation to help them wrap their head around it all.

"Now that the introductions are over we can get to the fun part! Here on my desk is a pile of fashion magazines I've collected." He stepped to one side to reveal the portkey and a stack of magazines he had accumulated over the week that he hoped would give the students a deeper insight to the muggle world of fashion. "For today's trip, we're going to a muggle clothing store. I would like each of you to pair up and pick a magazine that appeals to your sense of fashion, so you can use it as a guide." He hoped giving the students an opportunity to express their personal style would make the lesson seem a little more interesting and a lot less tedious. "When we get there, you're going to use your magazine to find an item of clothing or an accessory that is considered to be a current trend. You'll have a budget of fifty New Zealand dollars for this. Now, everyone gather around and hold on tight!" He stepped around his desk so the class could huddle around the port key before they were all whisked out of the classroom and to an alleyway in the heart of Wellington's shopping district.

Jonathon followed behind the group of students as they trekked into nearby clothing stores and boutiques, remaining in close proximity so he could assist the class if they needed it. After half an hour of trend spotting, window-shopping and experiencing the muggle world the class returned to the castle safely where Jon wrapped up the lesson and allowed them to leave with their newly purchased clothing in tow.

Roleplay the lesson!

Desislav made a face as he learned that they'd be talking about muggle fashion today. His daily routine consisted of grabbing whatever shirt and pants looked the cleanest or stealing something that belonged to Marius since he was a bit more organized, so it was pretty obvious that he cared little about this subject. Even he knew what skinny jeans were though, so he found himself giving a slow nod to the man's question.

Decidedly unhappy that they'd be spending their day shopping, Desi was one of the last students to the front of the room to grab a magazine. His mother still did his shopping for him - she'd been a model for many years- so he really didn't even know what to look for. He'd already asked his mum to pick out a suit for him to wear to the Yule Ball since he'd agreed to wear one. His mother had been ecstatic about that.

As they arrived to their destination, Desislav looked at the magazine in hand, flipping it open to a page with a man wearing a weird hat. "No way" he mumbled, flipping to another page of a guy wearing...a hat. "What the hell" he muttered, wondering if he was getting some sort of sign. Deciding to go with it, Desi began looking around for a hat. He'd never been much of a hat guy, but he wasn't going to put forth too much effort into this assignment. Picking up the first hat he came across in the shop, Desislav headed for the counter and purchased it before placing it on his head for the return trip.
