Father of Three, Zhefarovich Family's Clandestian, Cradle Robber

Today was his youngest class, third years. The newly made teenagers, well, for some of them that have not surpassed the age of thirteen yet. Prodan walked about every desk, placing muggle pens and paper upon the surface. After each desk had one pen and a pad of paper upon it, Prodan went back up to the front of the room, and glanced over at the chalkboard and then the whiteboard. Prodan decided to write on the whiteboard this time, mainly because he rather disliked chalk dust. Upon the board, Prodan wrote manually:
Quote:
 
Professor Prodan Zhefarovich
Muggle Studies

Required Textbook: Home Life and the Social Habits of British Muggles

Prodan went back to his desk, and stood in front of it, instead of sitting. He was quite jittery and wanted to welcome his students warmly and with a warm smile. His arms folded in front of him, and his black tee-shirt had no protest against it. In his classes, he wore muggle attire rather than wizarding. He had always preferred it anyhow. Prodan grinned when he saw the first of students arrive, his silvery eyes sparkled with excitement. After everything made it in class, Prodan greeted, "Welcome to Muggle Studies, third years! I am Professor Zhefarovich and I am glad to see you all have made it today. First off, this class will be a lot different than your other classes because Muggles do not perform magic. However, you will be learning about how muggles live, or like others would call it 'survive' without magic. We will be learning how muggles live and operate on a daily basis. There are those out there in the magical community that believe there is no need to learn about muggles. Let's not point them out in the school." Prodan winked at the class before continuing.

"Now, why do you think Hogwarts offers this course?" Prodan gazed over the students, wondering if any here were completely against muggles or not. The reactions on their faces were interesting enough. He pointed to a student that raised their hand to share their opinion. "Thanks for sharing." Prodan smiled warmly to the student. "Our classroom has been modeled after a traditional muggle classroom, as we have a chalkboard in the front and a whiteboard on the back wall." Prodan motioned with his large hand to show the two different boards as he spoke. "We will cover what these are used for and their differences soon enough. I am sure you noticed the pen, pencil, and notebook upon your desk by now. We are not going to use quills and parchment in here. This is what muggles use in their classrooms, so will we. If you don't experience these things firsthand, then you won't receive the full experience and will not learn as much. I did make them a little different from muggles by purchasing your pends with each of your houses on them."

Prodan checked the time, and he chuckled, "I see that I have taken up a lot of your time. Before I give you your easy homework assignment, I'll share a bit about myself. First off, I was born in a muggle-hating home, and that of course caused me to rebel against my mom and dad and go learn about muggles and become utterly fascinated by them. My dad is a pure-blood wizard who has a nasty temper. My mom was a mixed blood witch who is no longer living of this world since before you guys were born. I have two full-blooded siblings, one of which is my older brother Kalif Styx, yes Professor Styx is my brother. The other sibling is my twin sister who resides in Germany. And I have five half-siblings. I attended Durmstrang, and well, my best subject was not Potions. Always listen to your Potions professor about mixing the ingredients the way they should be. I would know from experience. I am married and I have do have two children." Prodan smirked slightly, and he said, "Before I dismiss you, your homework is simple: I want a bit of information on each of you." Prodan turned and wrote on the board with chalk.

Eden woke up early so that she could make it to her Muggle Studies class. She did not want to be here. She could not stand muggles she thought that they got to learn magic it made her sick but she had to take this class to keep her cover up. Her "bestfriend" was a muggle she was doing everything in her power to make a cover. Taking a seat in the front of the class making sure to save a seat for her boyfriend Tohoru. Eden looked down and noticed that there was a notebook and pen already knowing how to use them Eden rolled her eyes. Taking note of every last student who took this class Eden made sure she remembered all there names because when she was a death eater she was going to kill every last one of them. Flicking her eyes back to the front of the class Eden felt the Koshiba K that she always wore grow warm on her chest. Looking over to see Tohoru walk in Eden smiled wide. Pointing to the bored in the front she went back to waiting for class to start.

Fighting back a sigh when the Professor started telling them about the class in a mannor that was not befitting a nobal man as hisself. The way he talked about muggles made Eden want to be sick. When he got to the part of his speech where he mentioned that some believed that they should not be learning about muggles. She smirked her father was one of those men. Wondering what he would think of his son and soon to be daughter in law taking this class. She knew he would not be happy but she also knew that she could spin him a tale that would make him smirk.

Edens hand popped into the air before she had time to think about. Cursing under her breath Eden opened her mouth and said the first thing that came to her mind that sounded like it could be the right answer. "Hogwarts offers this course because we live in a world which is all but ran in muggles and we can take what we learn here and use it when we are out on our own." Letting out a breath that she did not know she was holding. She smirked again. Listening again she was shocked to her that Professor Styx was this man's brother. Shaking those thoughts aside she looked over at the homework. Grabing the pen Eden opened the notebook to the first page and started to write.

Name:Eden Koshiba
Year and House:3rd, Slytherin
Muggle Studies Lesson:1

Name:Eden Koshiba
A little about you (family, hobbies, anything you want to write down) My mother is a muggle who has gone insane and my father is unknown. I have a sister Lilith she is a first yr also a Slytherin. Her last name is Luna, mine was also Luna until this year. We where adopted by the Koshiba. I took there name because I did not wish to keep my mothers name. We have her name because our parents where never married and my mother wanted us to have no way of finding out who our father is. I work at the Natural Magic store. So far this year I have takein all the electives offered because Im not sure what I want to do when I leave Hogwarts. I do very well with all my classes.
Kinds of interactions with muggles you have had, if any I lived with my muggle mother until I was almost 13 and I went to a muggle school until I was sent a letter to come here.


Finishing her homework Eden turned it in and grabed Tohorus hand and dragged him from the classroom she wanted to talk to him about some things that where going to happen when they where done with this term
O-10 "Welcome to my classroom, Eden!"

Larissa had not been exited about taking Muggle Studies.. She wished she had paid more attention when signing up for every lesson..
But now she would have to suffer for her mistake.
Perhaps this was a good thing? Larissa felt not.
She glared miserably from the window nearest her bed.
Only half an hour before she needed to be in lesson.
Larissa dressed, gathered her things, moved to the Great Hall to eat and then moved swiftly to the Muggle Studies room.
She joined the rest of the class.
It was far too late to hide her darkness. Everyone knew she hated filthy mud-bloods- Although most of them did not know why this was.
She'd never let on to anyone. Not even Hoshi. That was personal.

"Zhefarovich.." Larissa muttered under her breath.
She was sure she had heard that name before.
Larissa hoped the Professor's words about this lesson being different didn't mean what she thought it meant..
Unfortunately, Larissa was right.
She did not raise her hand in reply to the Professor's question.
There was no doubt in her mind that she'd fail this lesson.
Muggles were so dull. Who would bother living without magic? Not Larissa, that was for sure.
Larissa took a pen and stared at it, cursing under her breath.
She had used a pen once before.. But that was when she was young and she had not used one since.

Larissa, who had just been attempting to carve into the desk with her pen, looked up at the sound of Professor Styx's name.
She let out a light "Erk!" as her chair tipped over backwards.
Luckily, it seemed as though no-one had noticed and she quickly clambered back to her desk.
Larissa copied down the homework, sneakily using her quill beneath the desk.
She packed her things away, gave the Professor a light nod and walked from the classroom, holding in a breath.

Once Larissa was in her dorm room, she held a pillow to her face, screamed into it and kicked her legs.
Something she had never thought she'd do was have a crush on one teacher, let alone two..
"Damn brothers!" Larissa yelled before walking down to the common room and working on her homework.

Larissa Sedgwick
3rd Year Slytherin
Muggle Studies, Lesson 1

Name: Larissa Mortion Sedgwick
A little about you: I was born in England 14 years ago. I lived there for a bit before my family moved to New Zealand.
My father is dead. He was killed by an auror who mistakenly attacked him.. Although, I don't believe it could be an 'accident'.
My mother is a workaholic. She recently re-married to a man now on his way to Azkaban on suspicion of being a Death Eater.
She is a member of the Invisibility Task Force.
My aunts (two, maternal) are both deceased. I have one cousin who is now a muggle-loving-auror.
My grandmother is a veela and (obviously) I am part-veela. Mixed blood.
The closest to an aunt I do have is my half-aunt (maternal). We only found out about her last year.
She now has a 4 month old son called Lorin. I like her.
Kinds of interactions with muggles you have had, if any: I attended a muggle infant & primary school.
I met a muggle girl there called Samantha and we got on well.
But she died (Because of a stupid muggle car).

O-10 "Welcome to my class, Larissa! Your roleplay made me laugh and it was very entertaining"

[ *  *  *  * ]
Tohoru woke up with a huge smile on his face. Rolling over onto his back and punched his bed and climbed out. Pulling a pair of jeans with a few holes a shirt that said. HHOW DO I BLOCK YOU IN REAL LIFE?. He was wearing all muggle clothes that Eden had helped him put together. Walking into the classroom he saw Eden a few seconds before the Koshiba charm warmed up to his presence. Noticing the way her hair cascaded down her back how the way her hand rested under her chin. Watching the way her eyes opened wide and her skin flush with color as she felt the charm warm up. Taking a seat next to her that she had been saving for him. Nodding his head as she pointed to the bored he waited for class to start.

Listening to everything that was being said and watching the way Eden facial expression's changed with her mood. Listening to what the Professor continued on he watched as Edens went up into the air almost the second the question was asked. Smiling as she made up some silly answer to whatever nonsense was asked. The class seemed to pass in a blur. Before he knew it the class had come to an end and that they had homework. Picking up the pen carefully Tohoru started to write on the paper in a bit of a messy writing seeing as he had never held a pen before in his life.

Tohoru Koshiba
3rd Yr Gryffindor
Lesson 1

Name Tohoru Koshiba
A little about you (family, hobbies, anything you want to write down) I have a twin sister Hoshi Koshiba she about a minute older than me and holds it over my head. Not like you would ever run into you. She wont be in this class. My wonderful and very smart girlfriend Eden Koshiba is in this class she is sitting right next to me. Watch out for her she's most likely smarter than her. She was adopted by my family this year and has changed her name to Koshiba which makes things eaiser due to the fact when we are 17 we will marry. Other than that I love to workout martial arts all kinds the only one who is as half as good as me is my sister. My younger sister Lilith I do not know much about her she keeps to herself I dont think she likes me but thats fine she will get used to me.
Kinds of interactions with muggles you have had, if any I have never had any kind of contact with muggles outside this school so this should be fun

Turning in his work he felt Eden grabbing his hand and pulling him from the classroom that was alright with him he loved every second he got to spend with her.[/b]
O-10 "Welcome to the class, Tohoru. I am sure you will enjoy this class."

Arisa woke up and turned over in her bed. She looked around and panicked as she realized that all her room mates were gone "Oh shit! I slept in!" she yelled to herself before jumping out of bed and running around her room like a mad woman trying to get everything together. Her cat watched with what looked like an amused look on his hairless face as she hoped around trying to rip a brush through her hair and turn her shirt right side out at the same time. Once she had finally gotten ready she ran down to the muggle studies room and got in just as Professor Zhefarovich wrote down the required text on the board.

Arisa sat in her desk looking at the general place the professor was in but not really paying attention to what he was saying, after all she had grown up with muggles and figured this would be an easy O. However she snapped into reality when Professor Styx was mentioned, What? Hes related to Professor Styx? I never would have guessed, hes way less scary she thought for a moment. Arisa wrote down what there homework was and was happy as it was pretty simple and wouldn't take long. Arisa decided she would go do it in the great hall because she had missed breakfast and her stomach had been grumbling silently the whole lesson much to her embarrassment.
