Professor Weiss was sitting on the top of her desk per usual when the students entered. She waited for them to take a seat, then hopped down to greet them.

"Welcome back! Glad to see you all here. This term is going to be lots of fun for us. We are going to be covering Muggle Communications and Travel. There will be a few field trips, as well as plenty of new things to learn about, well, new for many of you at least," she said with a smile.

"Okay. Let's get back into things. I want to start out by reviewing a bit from last term. Sooo, we are going to take a quiz!" Professor Weiss knew that pop quizzes were not fun, but went with it anyways. What better way to get the students back on track?

She flourished her wand, and a piece of paper landed in front of each student. "Use your pens or pencils please and answer these few questions. Once you are done, you are free to go. If you need any new supplies for this year, please feel free to take from the counter in the back."

She turned and sat down at her desk, picking up a muggle novel to read by Kathy Reichs.

Entering the classroom, Mike took a seat smiling at the prof whilst waiting for everyone else to arrive. He had enjoyed last years course to say the least. it was fun to find out how different and in his opinion how difficult muggle life was compared to our way of life. Eager to learn more this put Mike in a fairly good mood and so he waited patiently for the lesson to begin. Once it did, Mike was informed that they would be doing a pop quiz. Taking out his muggle writing pen, Mike took a quiz, and started to get to work thinking silently and hard when answering the questions.

Pop Quiz
1. Does electricity work around magic?- No it does not. The magic goes awry.
2. Name 2 types of muggle monetary systems- pence and dollars.
3. What is the basic function of a microwave?- To warm meals up
4. Name 2 differences between muggle schools and wizarding schools.- They have a wider arrange of lessons. They use pens to write, we use quills.


Mike popped the lid back on his pen, and handed his pop quiz assignment into Professor Weiss , glad he was allowed to leave early. Mike put his seat back under his desk, putting his muggle writing equipment in his bag, and swung it over his shoulder. Mike left for an early lunch, a smile etched onto his face.

Violet was excited about Muggle Studies - it was a class she rather enjoyed (perhaps not as much as Arithmancy) because it all made perfect sense. She felt she was perhaps cheating a little, being muggle raised and all, but still, she was entitled to attend Muggle Studies class and learn about muggles from the wizarding perspective. Violet found it quite fascinating. Besides, it was a fun class. They got to go on field trips, use pen and paper...keep in touch with the muggle world, which was always a good thing.

Professor Weiss flourished her wand, and paper landed on the desks in front of them. Picking up her pen, Violet began to scrawl answers to the questions on her sheet.

1. Does electricity work around magic?
No, electricity does not work around magic. Muggle appliances and other electrical items typically go haywire around magic and do not function.
2. Name 2 types of muggle monetary systems. Dollars (Australia, America, New Zealand...) and pounds (Great Britain).
3. What is the basic function of a microwave? To cook or to re-heat food.
4. Name 2 differences between muggle schools and wizarding schools.
a. The subject matter is different - at muggle schools, subjects like English and Maths and Science are taught, whereas at wizarding schools we study subjects like Charms and Potions.
b. Wizarding schools are protects with all sorts of protective charms and spells to prevent discovery by muggles. Muggle schools may have security systems, but are largely unproctected.


Finishing her quiz, Violet put her pen away and handed her quiz in to Professor Weiss, heading downstairs to the Great Hall for lunch.

Lily smiled brightly as she bounced along to Muggle Studies. She was looking forward to this class as it had been one of her favorites back at Hogwarts Scotland, and, although some people thought it was an easy subject, she thought it was one of the only subjects which made proper sense all of the time, the only subject in which she could always understand what the teacher was on about!
Entering the classroom, Lily flashed the Professor a bright smile and slipped into a seat in the front row. Taking a quick look at her time table, she was informed that this Professors name was Professor Weiss. Humming a soft tune, Lily took from her bag her parchment and a muggle pencil and set them out infront of her, ready for work.
As it appeared that the whole class was there, Professor Weiss began the lesson by telling them all what they would be studying that term. Lily smiled brightly at the Professor, her blue eyes sparkling. Field trips and understandable information, she was definately going to enjoy this!
As the Professor announced what they would be doing that lesson, Lily bit her lip. A Pop Quiz. What if she hadn't been taught what the Professor was testing. All of her worries went out of the window, though, as soon as she was giver her test paper.
She could answer these questions in seconds!
Writing her name at the top of her paper, she began to work away happily.

1. Does electricity work around magic?
No, electricity and electric appliances/objects do not work around magic. They go haywire, basically.
2. Name 2 types of muggle monetary systems. (Not sure what you mean by this as Lily wasn't here for Lessons last year, but either...)
Coins and Notes
or
Dollars and Pounds.

3. What is the basic function of a microwave? A Microwave is used to cook or heat up food. Some Microwaves can even de-frost food.
4. Name 2 differences between muggle schools and wizarding schools.
Muggle schools teach a wider variety of subjects, like English, Maths, Drama and French/Spanish, while Wizarding schools teach Magical subjects, like Transfiguartion, Potions, Herbology, Defence against the Dark Arts and Muggle Studies.
Also, muggle schools tend to have alot less security than Wizarding Schools. They also seem to be alot smaller in size and alot less enjoyable!


After looking over her paper, Lily stood up and slipped it onto the Professors desk, not wanting to disturb her reading, before gathering her things together and heading down to the Great Hall for a spot of lunch!

Andromeda wore her muggle clothes as they had been instructed to do last year, on entering she smiled at Professor Weiss before taking her seat. Noting there were more this year in class than last year. The more the merrier she thought as she took out the notepad and pencil she had especially for muggle studies.

Smiling at the thought of more field trips, Andromeda wondered where they were going to go this year. She had thoroughly enjoyed San Francisco last year even if they did only get to spend their time there in Professor Weiss' apartment. The view had been extraordinary.

She didn't mind so much that they had a pop quiz and read through the paper that the professor magically transferred to each of them.

1. Does electricity work around magic?
Electricity does not work around magic. When there is a vast quantity of magic such as Hogwarts then it simply disrupts the flow and counteracts the electromagnetic field of electronic particles.

2. Name 2 types of muggle monetary systems.
The rupee in India and the dollar in America.

3. What is the basic function of a microwave?
To heat food quickly, safely and efficiently.

4. Name 2 differences between muggle schools and wizarding schools.
Our writing implements differ greatly - we use quills, ink and parchment while they use notebooks, pens and/or pencils.
They have different subjects but they also take electives like we do. I would say the next big difference other than the magical component would be the sports we play.
Muggle schools have more sports such as gymnastics, athletics, rugby, soccer, football, track while magic school have Quidditch.

Arnold was at the common room reading his favorite novel, he doesn't want to finish the story since he don't have any book to read once his done with it, his looking forward for another trip to Brightstone. He had to pause from reading to glance at his watch to see the time, he closed his book and stood up then made his way to the first floor for his Muggle class. Arnold can't believe they will actually learn more about muggles although his a muggle born, he doesn't know much about it since his grandparents had taught him more and more about witchcraft and less in muggle life by his parents. As he entered the room, few students had already arrive, he nod politely at Professor Weiss as he passed by her desked and sat beside Andy "Morning Andy" he greeted her smiling.

"Pop quiz?" Arnold jaw dropped, well, he was quite expecting that their first lesson would be just introduction, he never thought they'll be having a quiz. Luckily, he had placed one of his pen at his pocket, once the paper landed on his desk, he started answering it.

Emma's hair was an absolute mess today. Last night she had fallen asleep with a braid in her hair and now it was curly out of control curly. "What on earth am I going do?" She said to herself trying to run a brush through her hair as she looked at the clock. Ten minutes. "Oh come on" She said a little upset that she was so far behind. Giving up on her hair for a moment, Emma ran to get ready throwing on her uniform and such.

Five minutes later she looked in the mirror, all ready except for that hair. "oh forget it" she said pulling her hair back into a french braid having it tight and looking as if it was perfect. Now the only problem would be when she took the braid out. Don't have time to worry about that now She thought as she threw her backpack over her shoulder and ran out of the Hufflepuff common room in a hurry.

Finally Emma arrived in the Muggle Studies classroom and took a seat in the back. Without much wait the Professor walked in and gave them a pop quiz. Letting out a sigh, Emma hoped the rest of her day wouldn't be like this morning.

Yet when she recieved the quiz a smile feel on her face. Easy enough She thought loving the fact that she was muggle born. With her quil and black ink, Emma began to fill in some of the quiz.

Slytherin Fifth Year

Caina was actually extremely tired as she walked into the Muggle Studies classroom. Her fear of being the only Slytherin in the room didn't even bother her as she rubbed her tired eyes. Who really cared if she was a Slytherin taking muggle studies. Why did it matter? Caina dropped all worries as she took a seat next to her cousin Emma. "Hey" Caina said in a friendly yet tired tone once more rubbing her own eyes. Why was this Slytherin so tired? Really Caina didn't know.

Something was needed to wake her up though. Maybe coffee. Was she too young to drink coffee? Well her mother used to let her dip cookies into the coffee. That counted as drinking coffee in Caina's mind. Smiling slightly at the flash back memory of her once happy family.

Though the lesson began with a pop quiz. "What a way to wake up" Caina said aloud as she took out her writing material not yet fully awake. Her brown eyes tried to focus on the quiz ahead of her but it was rather useless. After about ten minutes she had nothing written down.

Finally she began to write down glad that it was an easy quiz.
