'See, that's better! Life's too....' he forgot that Muggle saying his parents used all the time and frowned in concentration, 'fun? To be angry... and stuff, you know?'
He glanced around the room cautiously, that was spy training, and hoped the professor didn't notice or hear them. Quote:

Fanning herself with her hand, Thea tried to stop her feeble giggles that kept washing over her every time she looked at Aaron. 'Oh well. I don't feel so mad now..' And she was off again. Oh wow. Funnaaaay times.
Sir?! Oh hell naw. She stared at him open mouthed. 'Whatever..' But she had to bite her lip to stop herself from collapsing into giggles again. Quote:

It would all be gone soon? Unlikely, he'd write his parents tonight and ask for a large stash of Dr P.
Really, he wasn't awesome? Aaron wasn't sure why she hated him, but he thought it best to leave her alone for now. Besides, there were plenty of other fun people in this class.
'That will be proven, sir- madam. I meant.' Quote:

'Yep, and it'll be all gone soon!' Leaning back over, she rolled her eyes. Awsomw? Thea thought not. 'Well you have yet to prove that..'
Ok.. she could practically see points dissapearing for her chattering.. Quote:

He took another sip of Dr Pepper, 'it's not me who's annoying. I assure you I am awesome and unannoying and stuff. Just saying. It's the doctor right over here.' He said and pointed at the bottle of Dr Pepper in his hand. Quote:

'If points get taken off me..' She muttered to herself, she hugged her knees and rested her chin on her knees. Quote:
Originally Posted by MUDBL00Dpride 'Sheesh,' Aaron squeaked, trying to contain his laughter, 'why so serious.....?'
Aaron contained an excited and unmanly squeal and nodded happily. Ketchup made everything heavenly, so why not Dr Pepper?
'Gimme gimme!' He whispered, holding his bottle of Dr Pepper out.
The young professor glanced from one student to the next thinking that eventually they would get the hint….but alas they didn’t…they continued to chat and chat and chat and even mention the fact that they were going to get in trouble for chatting but continued to do it…hello professor looking at you…
And then she had enough and did something that she had never done before…she cleared her throat and then spoke loudly over them, “Thea and Aaron, you know that chatting is not allowed once class has started….” She paused and then continued trying to keep her voice calm but she had had it with their chatting, “minus five points for each of you….” She said with a blank face…she hated taking points away but they were talking and talking and talking and talking and she had enough of it.
SPOILER!!: War Conversation Quote:

Still, she mostly agreed....until Adam opened his mouth.
Her head spun around and looked at him with a slightly offended expression on her face. "So, are you implying that wizards don't fight wars for personal gain?" Because, THAT was a ridiculous notion. "Voldemort certainly wasn't looking to benefit anyone other than himself. Also, I don't think you can say that the Death Eaters and the Order of the Pheonix were fighting for the same reasons. Their motives were as different as night and day."
She flashed Corey a slightly disapproving look at his next comment. Hopefully he was only talking about personal gain in terms of devouring as many snacks as possible. He did seem to like food a lot. Too much personal gain there and they might be rolling him through the corridors. Quote:

Winning.

Well,going on a little bit of what Mr. Quimper just said when muggles have war sometimes they involve several countries..They fight either alongside with other people or they fight religious groups that say the United States does not agree with..Sometimes,also when the war commences it could be an attack one group of people have planned that put the muggles into the war..I think Wizards are fighting in wars for the same reason,while muggles might have a different reason with their enemy to be in a war.They might want to win it to gain something for their own state that only helps them but not other countries.Self Gain."

He glanced at all the stationery without much interest. Being muggleborn, it wasn't all that exciting to him. What WAS interesting was that so many of the kids seemed to talk like they thought muggles weren't human or something. Not in a mean way, just.... muggles and wizards were all human, man.
He did eventually manage to get a hand up.
"Muggles have war. And yeah yeah I know people are probably gonna say that we had wars, Wizarding war blah blah but honestly that Voldemort stuff wasn't the entire Wizarding world, just Britain really. Muggle wars, there are world wars where millions of people die, they blow each other up with nuclear power and destroy things, and fight, fight, die."
Back to the food and making goo-goo eyes at the professor.
Gemma listened closely to the conversation about the wars and then finally decided to chime in, “I think you all have pretty valid ideas about the difference between wars in each society, but you have to remember that both Muggles and Wizards have had to deal with conflicts that ran across the oceans to other countries and that dealt with dictators or mad men that were only after self gain or self preservation…actually our histories can be very similar in a way when we analyze the way each society won their freedom from such men and notions….neither society has been innocent in their endeavors for creating such chaos…” She said hoping that would make each of them think about the similarities of each type of war over the years.

She actually wasn't going to answer the question since everyone else had already done so but there was something that muggles had that wizards certainly did not. So she raised her hand in the air. "Muggles have starving people in the world. Millions die each year from not getting enough food. Not something we would ever have to worry about." The professor smiled at the young girl and listened to her comment and then replied, “Well that’s not completely true, wizards can not produce food on their own using magic…that is one of those items that we cannot just produce… so there are some areas of the Wizarding Community that have had to deal with famine and a lack of food…just think about the great Potato Famine that both the Wizarding Community and Muggle Community had to deal with near Ireland…neither culter was spared from this famine…many times where there is a community with starving muggles there are wizards near or living in that community as well…” she said very matter of fact a little worried about some of the student’s understanding of wizards living within muggles.

"Hey." she called out to those chatting about muggles, how silly they are and things like that, "Not just because you're a pureblood means you could go on using foul words for muggles. They too have their right to be respected as much as you so you better start practicing that respect if you want to gain the same." And she trotted back to her bean bag. Munching on her toblerone. The professor eyed the girl as she exploded on the others in the classroom, “ I’m sorry but that is not the way to handle the situation…first off, I will handle anything that I deem inappropriate…that is not your job at all…secondly, all that you have done is caused a bigger scene then was needed…Next time, mind your manners, and let discipline in my classroom be left to me…” she said politely but with a stinging edge to her words. “ I have not heard anything that is over the top or more than just some of these students not fully understanding Muggles and that is why we are here is to learn about them…but all you have done is caused more problems…have a seat…”

WHAT WAS THIS SCHOOL TEACHING?!?!? Jonathan had to fight to not explode from shock, but alas, he had to answer the question the professor asked. Because, well, He KNEW what muggles did.
Raising his hand, "Eaaasy, Professor. MUGGLES, Travel everywhere in the SKY! Every day, a muggle will get up and go to a place, WHERE THEY SIT IN THE AIR FOR 18 HOURS! And once there, they take part in eating bugs, and fishing for survival, and then they go home!!! And then they do the same thing for the rest of their LIVES!!!" Pie. The professor wrinkled up her nose slightly and cocked her head to the side at the young boy’s reply, “Mr….” she let her words fade off to lead him to filling in his last name…”I am sorry to say that you have been misinformed about a lot of things in your statement. ” she paused and then continued, ”You are correct that they utilize airplanes to travel in the sky, but not all muggles sit on these airplanes for 18 hours and they def do not eat bugs and fish for survival and then go home…I think you need to check your sources and your facts before you share such crazy accusations.”
She focused back on the class and flicked her wand. Instantly a list of all of the answers appeared on the board behind her.

With a proud smile on her face, she continued the lesson, “What a great set of differences….and we could go on and on and on about the differences…” she paused glancing at the list again.
“But now let’s focus on something that is a major difference between the family structure of Muggles and Wizards, our games….” she flicked her wand and a huge stack of various Muggle games fell from the ceiling and landed on the stage next to her. It had to be over twelve feet tall.
“Can anyone name any Muggle games? They can be any type of game…” she asked knowing that it was an easy question for Muggles and that some Wizard children would know the answer.
