Prodan stood beside the chalkboard writing on the board. The students filed in, and Prodan smiled to himself. No field trip today. Instead, today was more or less something they were used to in their previous years. Just a normal day with notes and a lecture. Prodan said, "There is a ton of information on this topic, but time is short, and I can only cover so much in that time. So, bear with me, won't you." Prodan dropped the chalk in its holder, and the board read:

Consequences of Muggle Transportation

Prodan motioned for them to pay attention and write the information down. "Muggle transportation can cause numerous issues. Can anyone think of a few we saw on our last field trip?" Prodan heard a few and he said, "Mhm, indeed those are some issues." Prodan picked up the chalk once more, and he motioned with his hands for students to keep their eyes on the chalk as he wrote on the board. Even though this could be a silly gesture, it still got the point across. After he finished writing, the board now read:
Quote:
 
Accidents
Fuel shortages/costs of operation
Pollution
Delays/Traffic back-ups

Deciding to address one issue at a time, Prodan sighed once before he continued, "Accidents are a major problem with muggle transport, just like wizarding transport. Vehicles are often dangerous if reckless people are behind the wheel, and people can lose their lives. It is similar to a broom. A car, truck, bus, whatever has to be kept in control at all times, or it can be damaged, cause damage to others or even be a weapon." Prodan frowned slightly at this information. However, they needed to know it. And he was the professor.

Fuel is costly to run the vehicles. To be able to drive, you have to have fuel in your vehicle, and enough fuel to get you where you need to be. However, the cost of such fuel can prevent some from getting to where they need to go. If they cannot afford it or the supply is scarce, muggles will be stuck in their homes. They may walk, but sometimes that is just not going to happen." Prodan continued, without taking one glance at the board, "Fuel being burned to make a car go gives off exhaust, which brings up to our next topic. Pollution. Similar to wood burning in a fireplace, there is a smake that is a byproduct of the fire. These byproducts are destroying the Earth's protective layers, and the muggles are attempting to find a better solution to the fuels. However, from the looks of it, there isn't going to be a cheap cost to alternate fuels for now."

Prodan began to pace the room, his hands folded behind him as he continued with his lecture, praying the students were taking notes, "To conclude this all, there are many traffic delays or backups. I am sure you all witnessed this in San Francisco. These issues can get harsh enough that people often get angry with one and another. Road rage is the name of this. Believe it or not, muggle have been known to kill over being stuck in traffic. Remember when we were on the bus, some people were getting angry because the bus was not moving fast enough? I find it silly to get so agitated over that.

Prodan turned to face the class, and he smirked slightly. He was a little out of breath, but nothing a water could not fix. “Finally, homework. Compare muggle transportations with wizarding ones. Work for the rest of class on it. I don’t expect it to be too long, but don’t make it one paragraph either.” Prodan went back to his desk, sat down in the chair, opened a bottle of water and took a healthy drink, before gazing over his class as they worked.


Homework: RP the lesson and write an essay comparing the forms of transportation: muggle vs. wizard

Hilde took a look outside and realized that it was a beautiful, sunny day outside. Flipping through her closet, she pulled out a bright green muggle sundress and found matching accessories to go with it. Bright and sunny outdoors meant it was time for something bright and sunny indoors -- and Muggle Studies class was the perfect excuse for that.

As she hurried into class and found herself a seat, Hilde realized that Professor Zhefarovich had his back turned to the class and was writing on the board. She couldn't help but stare at the perfectly formed arse of her very married professor as he moved back and forth writing. She didn't care if he was way older than her -- it was nice to stare at. She came back to reality quickly when he turned and began to talk. Flipping to a fresh page in her notebook, she quickly began to take notes down, doodling a bit along the sides and bottom of the page. A question was asked of the class, so she raised her hand to answer and was pleased when she received a nod for her answer. As she took notes, her mind drifted a bit to the recent events. The fact that Shane was Professor Zhefarovich's cousin was not lost on her as she stared blankly up at him. Shane was so confusing to her. They always had gotten along when they were younger, actually had lots of fun when they were shoved into the same room. Why did he react the way he did after he kissed her. It was the most perfect kiss of her young life. Looking down at her paper, she realized she had doodled a pair of lips on the page and blushed.

Why am I thinking of the guy that kissed me and ran when I have an actual, amazing, hot boyfriend here at school? Tohoru is great! I need to concentrate on him...no I need to concentrate on what Professor Zhefarovich is saying! Shaking her head just a touch, making her curly hair bounce just a touch, she went back to staring at her professor, and slowly found her thoughts drifting over to his young cousin once again. She perked up when the homework assignment was given. Hilde was grateful to have something other than Zhefarovich men on her mind, even if it was only for a few minutes.

Quickly she finished up her thoughts and handed the paper in. Heading out the door, she was determined to go and find her boyfriend and snog him silly. She wanted to drive all other thoughts of Shanaos Zhefarovich out of her mind.

O-11 "Excellent job!"
