Prodan waited, sitting behind his desk as the students filed in. He grinned, ready to start this new term. This topic before him, it was interesting to say the least. Prodan just hoped that the others would be as interested into this as he was when he first researched it. However, there was less field trips this year than the last. Prodan grinned at them, "Welcome back, students! Just so you know, this is an interesting topic at hand, trust me. The Cinema is a favorit pastime for many muggles and muggle teenagers as well. Many first dates are taken to go watch a movie, as are many family outings. 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?"

A few hands went up, and it caused Prodan's face to light up just a bit. Good, so some can help out the others if they don't know what a movie is. "Watching the stories playing out on a large screen is relaxing and entertaining, and I am sure the ones who have seen the movies will have to agree. That is, if the movie was any good to begin with. The moving pictures can take you literally to any time or place." Now that Prodan has spoken of movies, he wouldn't mind taking his wife to go see one now. Oh, what an enjoying event it would be!

"However, we won't be covering just movies, but the actors and actresses that star - or in other words, make the movies. We will also discuss the various types of movies made. There are millions of movies out there, not just one, and we will also cover how muggles watch these movies. I also want to touch on the celebrities. Yes, we have famous wizards and witches here in our world, in terms, celebrities. However, muggles treat their famous muggle celebrities differently than the way we treat ours."

Prodan flexed his hand, as he stood up and smiled down at the class, continued, "Easy enough for an introduction, and those of you coming next week, I would like those of you familiar with movies to write a short paragraph on what you enjoy the most about the movies. For those who are not familiar, please write about what you think movies might be like. And class, you are free to go!" Prodan waved at the class, before he went to the board, wrote down a reminder, and went out of the classroom to go patrol or speak to his wife.


Homework: RP the lesson, and do the homework assigned. It doesn't have to be big, just something small and simple.

Andromeda walked into the muggle studies classroom not sure which professor to expect this year, she had heard rumors that there was a new professor teaching this subject and that he was the headmistresses husband of all people. As she entered she saw a rather attractive man at the front of the class and smiled at him as she took her seat. She had to give it to the headmistress, she had excellent taste.

It wasn't long before the other students, her friends entered and the class got underway. They were discussing movies and Andromeda put her hand up when the professor asked if any of them had seen a movie. She loved the movies and wished there was a magical equivalent to them. The class she found enjoyable and the professor seemed to have an easy manner about him, so that by the end of the class she didn't even grumble when the were assigned homework. Gathering her things she left with the others, walking along thinking of what she could write before saying farewell and heading in the direction of Gryffindor House.

The Movies

I love the atmosphere, especially when it is a really good movie and the entire audience are psyched up to enjoy it. The room darkens and a few whispered hush remarks are always bandied about before the large screen flickers to life. The advertisements I know are necessary but I would rather flick them forward to get to the main event.
I love the hot popcorn and having my chocolate sweets melt over them throughout the movie. I love when its a horror and the reactions from the audience as they scream in terror or laugh at how ridiculous some piece was. I guess I love the fantasy, the escape the movies allow. That you can for a brief moment like with a really good book, just lose yourself completely in the magic of it all.

O-10 "Welcome and excellent job on the RP!"

Mike entered the classroom, seeing that Andromeda was already there, as was there new Professor, whose name Mike did know, but only because he was married to the headmistress, Cecily Zhefarovich. Mike gave a friendly sort of wave to Andromeda, taking his usual seat. He took this time, to remember what they learnt last year. He had enjoyed it very much, and hoped that it would continue to do so. Mike listened patiently as the Professor started the lesson.

Mike listened as Professor Zhefarovich told them all about the cinema. Mike had heard of them, and had been lucky to see one when he was in a muggle school before coming to Hogwarts. He had enjoyed it, he remembered that much, but he couldn't remember what it was about. Mike listened as the Professor put the lesson to an end, wanting them to write an essay on the cinema. Mike left the classroom, heading to the library to get it over and done with. He had enjoyed the lesson, and the new Professor seemed nice enough.

The cinema

I have been to the cinema. Only once before. I was barely older than 8. I can't remember what the movie was called nor what it was about. I went with my olde school before coming to Hogwarts. I remember having a good time, being treated to popcorn I think its called and some drink. It was fun. Remembering this moment makes me want to go back to the cinema. Maybe in the future, when I become an adult I could, but I suppose I will have to wait, like I had to during the advertisements, but hopefully the wait will go quick.



O-10 "Welcome to my class, Mike! Excellent work!"
