Professor Weiss stood in front of the room as her students filed in. She was ready for another term to start up, and was excited to cover the topic at hand. Watching as her students filed in and took a seat, she smiled at them, then began.

"Welcome back! This term we will be covering one of my favorite topics in Muggle Studies. The Cinema is a favorite pastime for many muggles. Many first dates are taken to go watch a movie and many families plan outings to watch one together. The movies are also a huge business in muggle society. I know some of you have had experience in the muggle world. Who here has been to a movie?"

She looked around at the class and smiled as a smattering of hands popped up. "Great!" she said with a smile. "Going to the cinema to watch a movie is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Watching the stories played out on the large screen is relaxing and entertaining. The moving pictures can take you literally to any time and place."

"This term we will not only cover movies, but also the actors and actresses that make the movies. We also will discuss the various types of movies made - yes there are more than one kind out there - and how muggles watch movies. I also want to touch on celebrity a bit. We have famous wizards and witches in our world, in terms, celebrities, but we do not treat them the way that muggles treat their celebrities."

"Alright. Enough introduction. For next week, I would like those of you who are familiar with movies to write a short paragraph on what you enjoy the most. Those who are not familiar, please write a short paragraph on what you think movies might be like. You are dismissed." Professor Weiss waved them to the door with a smile, returning to her desk to work on some grading.

Maisie was a little unsure on weather she did the right thing picking muggle studies, it seemed an interesting subject, but did she know to much already? But that's not the point, she wanted to really well in this subject, and the only way to achieve that was to learn from what she didn't know and soak in all the information she could get. The Slytherin got herself out of bed, rather reluctantly, but also in the hope that outside it was going to be sunny and she'd have something to look forward to at the end of the lesson, just to make her day. She'd had only a few lessons before this, and the teacher at Hogwarts Scotland was a little... of touch. But she could only hope that this professor was going to be everything she expected and hoped. The Slytherin got on her uniform and put on some lip gloss, she made her way out of the Slytherin house, carrying her 'messenger bag' on her shoulder.

She made her way to the Great Hall, which is where she was going to have some to eat before she went to her first muggle studies lesson at the school. She sat down at the Slytherin table and took some pancakes, for some reason she had grown a strong liking to pancakes, there was something about them, that was very... tasty. She had soon finished, which was actually an excited feeling for Maisie, and she could now go to her muggle studies class. She didn't have to walk far, the classroom was on the first floor, she had always passed it and always been curious as to what it was like inside. She slowly approached the door and walked into the classroom, she looked around, it felt really homely inside, she smiled at the professor and sat down at the front of the classroom. While she was waiting for the other students in the class to arrive and she began to draw small hearts on her hand.

It didn't take long for everyone to arrive and the professor began to the lesson, when she asked about the movies, Maisie's hand shot up. She had seen a few with her muggle friends before, and she new exactly what ones were her favorites. The lesson did seem quite short, just as she had finished talking she had assigned some short homework, which was something of a relief to Maisie. She was always bored in the evenings, she needed something to do, otherwise she'd only be doing nothing all week. When the professor allowed them to leave, Maisie was happy with the lesson, she would have liked to have learnt a little more, but it was only an introduction lesson to the year, so she couldn't expect to much. The Slytherin made her way back to her dormitory to get started on the homework, she had jotted down on her hand. Which reminded her, she really needed to get a notebook or something, she's going to get ink poisoning at some point.
Muggle Studies Homework
What's your favourite type of movies?
My favourite type of movie are chick-flicks and romance. Why? I find them very interesting and feel as thought I can relate to them in reality. They are also quite funny at some points and capture the imagination. I also enjoy watching fantasy movies such as Lord of the Rings because they give a very dramatic effect and keep you hooked to the television screen.
