[justify]     Sloane was leaning against her desk in the front of the room. In her hands was a glass bottle, and she was tossing it back and forth, just to entertain herself until the students arrived. She glanced down at her usual attire; jeans, pink top and some sensible shoes. They were going to enjoy today. Sloane knew it from the bottom of her heart. The students came in, and she smiled to them, "Well, hey there guys. Before we go over what we're going to do today, don't bother sitting down and getting out any note taking equipment. We're not going to be staying in the classroom today, but we are going to be discussing the muggle home life, in a muggle apartment I rented out."

     Sloane set the glass bottle on the desk. "This is a port key. You will be able to stay for a few hours and play with all the appliances, check out television and radio, and just get a feel for what it is like to live as a muggle for a bit." They were in for a good, fun time. Sloane smiled at the students. "Come here now, and the touch the port key!" The port key glowed as everyone touched it, and soon they were standing in the middle of a living room in an apartment.

     Sloane put the bottle on the table, and she glanced at a clock. "We have two hours here, and I want you to explore the apartment. There is a bedroom, bathroom, and a kitchen. Whilst you're doing that, I'll be watching from here, and possibly grading some essays. When you want to do something, and don't know how to do it, then come ask me. For example, if you want to turn on the television, please do so. The radio as well! Cook, stand outside on the balcony, go on ahead. Feel free to explore the muggle lifestyle." Sloane added, "Oh, if you want anything to eat or drink, I have a supply of food and drinks for the entire class." Sloane took a seat on the couch, and she read over a few essays while the students went about. "Don't forget that we're in Sydney. Be careful when you go outside. Australian's can be nosey neighbours."

     The day went by quickly, and Sloane soon had the class back in the classroom. "Have a great rest of the day, guys. You're free to leave."

Homework: You guys have it easy. Just RP your character exploring the apartment and playing with at least one item. If your character is used to muggle living, please try to discuss differences in what you are used to compared to the apartment. Please be creative! Some images of the apartment in Sydney:

Just as they were told Evelyn showed up in her own clothes and had spend a lot of time in front of a mirror this morning. The one time they could come in without their robes and stuff had to be amazing ofcourse. As the blonde entered the room she greeted Professor Stark with a bright smile and found her spot in the front. Evelyn was all ready to begin. It was a bit strange of seeing Professor Stark in other clothes, and Evelyn had lots of advice for the woman because the clothes could be better with the matching shoes. Perhaps she had to begin a advice point for Professors too, to be more fashionable. She would definitly begin with Styx and especially with his hair! She wanted to sit down and take her parchment but Stark said they would not be staying in the classroom so Evelyn was excited. They would visit a muggle appartment! How fun, Evelyn hoped it would be a very luxe one with many comfertable things into it. As she made sure she was one of the students in the front she looked at the glass bottle Stark was pointing at.

They would be traveling with a port key again, they had done it before with History of Magic Evelyn remembered. This was way more fun than Herbology and stupid classes like Astronomy. Evelyn touched the glass and when the rest followed they were pretty quickly away from the classroom at Hogwarts. As Evelyn looked around her she saw a appartment and it looked pretty cute not very big but it was something different. The stuff inside were things Evelyn hadn't really seen before. How nice job Professor Stark had, by taking them here. She walked over to a device as she heard it was a television but Evelyn had no idea how it worked. '' Professor Stark, How does this work?'' as Evelyn got help she was really suprised when she saw something on the screen. She could change the pictures and suddenly she saw a Fashion Show and when someone wanted to turn it again she made sure they wouldn't she took a sit at the couch and looked full excitement at the Fashion on the runway. As the lesson was ending Evelyn returned in the classroom and left it when the lesson was dismissed.

[justify]Flavio hadn't known exactly what to wear to pass as a muggle, but he had eventually chosen to wear an oversized sweater and jeans; something simple, comfortable to walk around in that wasn't overly attention grabbing. When he arrived to the classroom he was surprised to learn the class would be going on a trip, but was then excited to go to the muggle world properly. He stepped forward to touch the portkey as instructed and watched his new surroundings in awe when he'd recovered from the queasiness of traveling. The apartment was modern and far out of his family's price range but that was one of the many reasons it intrigued him.

He began by strolling around the entire apartment, gathering what each room looked like. He then returned to the living room and smiled as Evelyn was shown how to turn on the tv. He sat on the sofa and watched the screen curiously, but soon found himself in a different part of the apartment, fiddling with the muggle radio. It was similar to magical radios, but was connected to the wall with some sort of rope looking device. Flavio pulled it and watched as the radio stopped working. He laughed and put the weird rope down, then returned to the sofa until his time in the apartment was up. It was then the class returned to the castle and the lesson was dismissed.
