Honestly, Josephina didn't know why Legend Chosen was complaining - except that he was probably just one that liked to complain to hear himself complain. One moment he was whining that he wanted to be EXCUSED from her homework and the next it was that they should have separated the classes. Complainer . . .
Shaking her head, she listened to what the students had to say about thw two things in question. SPOILER!!: all who answered something to do w communication Quote:

This class was going to be fun.
Fletcher allowed first his eyes, and then his head and entire neck, to follow the path of the owl as it circled the room. Around and around and around she goes, where she stops... nobody knows! Though it would be like superawesome if the owl landed on one of the professor's heads....
He started rummaging around in his bag with one hand while he continued watching the owl's trajectory. If he could just find one of those little owl treats he'd been feeding Muffin the other day..... Quote:

"They are both used for communication, sir." But how was that anything to do with Arithmancy? Would they learn... morse code or something? That had numbers, right? Quote:

"They are both used to contact others", she explained,"muggles call friends,family or whatever with their phone and we sent letters with our owls." Quote:

Meh... as long as it didn't decide to dive bomb them with droppings.
Oliver crinkled his nose and watched the bird before turning his attention back to the front of the class. He raised his hand.
“They're both used for communication, sir.” He replied. “But the muggle way is, like, waaay faster. Like instantaneous. Owling someone is more akin to using the muggle postage system... or using a carrier pigeon.” heh. Quote:

"Alright, whatever you say sir." Yes sir, fine sir, the world made sense when you combined two lessons into one, to teach about a bright red phone. Yeah...right. Legend raised his hand, although alot of people already answered before him. He would need to put another spin on his answer then. "Well, they are both used when you are not able to physically talk or communicate to someone because the distance. Like you wouldn't call or owl someone standing three feet away from you." Yup, he knew his stuff. Quote:

Alice felt bad she hadn't answer the first question, because she did indeed know that it was a telephone. After all she had one in her own home. She watched as Professor Zookara opened the owls age, looking at it with such dislike that Alice wondered why Professor Zookara seemed to despise owls.
"Both an owl or a telephone can be used to communicate with another person that is too far away from you to talk in person. Telephones are a good bit quicker than owls though, considering phones allow for instantaneous communication while owls can take a couple of days to get back to you, depending on how far away the person you are trying to communicate with is." Quote:

"Professor," she smiled raising her hand and trying not to giggle too much. "Both owls and a telephone are used to deliver messages and communicate." Quote:
Originally Posted by xiiWishiWasYours Selena raised her hand. Why didn't they used smaller phones? Weren't there such things? Weren't those the tiny little devices muggles started screaming into and typing on furiously? Whatever. Old-fashioned schools came with old-fashioned telephones. Hehehe.
"The two are used for the delivery of messages," Selena said. 'And the two don't look very pretty at all...' she added in her mind. Quote:

Originally Posted by Anais "They are used for Muggles or Wizards, in our case, to communicate with each other quickly and with ease. Well, telephones are much quicker, but owls are more efficient, as you don't need to tell them where to go to find someone. You just send them on their way!" she answered happily. This was too easy. Considering she was Muggle-born, hehe. Quote:

Although owls are way cooler.. Dianna thought. Quote:
Originally Posted by Canoir Greengrass An owl and a telephone?What they have in common? Freya raised her hand "Umm..They both used to communicate with other people. The muggles used telephone while wizards used owl as their communication device. Although a telephone was so much easier than an owl. It's quicker too." she said lowering her hand. Quote:
Originally Posted by Magical Soul Louisa blinked. A telephone and an owl? Like.. they're both too weird to be here in this class, Daah! Seriously, was the teacher being funny or something? Eeer... no. He wasn't because nobody laughed or even smiled. Meh.
She raised her hand determined to answer the question with [i]creativity[/b]. "Both can be obtained easily." That was her first thought. "And everybody could use both of them, no exceptions. Both can deliver messaged verbal or written." She ended with a proud smile. Quote:
Originally Posted by tonks2 Emmy raised her hand, saying "They're both communication devices - an owl takes your letter to the intended recipient, while a telephone converts the sound waves of your voice into electrical pulses, sends them to the telephone you called, which then converts the pulses back into sound waves.

That had to be the easiest question she'd ever been asked - and of course it helped enormously being muggleborn, as she'd been lectured on the workings of many electrical and electronic devices in her short life. Rising slowing but still maintaining her hands in a resting position on the desk, she nodded at the students who answered about owls and telephones both having to do with messages and communication. Clearly these students had some contact with the muggle world, which was good, she supposed.
"Yes, communication. Messages. All very important to both the owl and, as someone mentioned this device called, the telephone," she said, hoping Jeremy wouldn't mind her intercepting. Quote:

Not. Pleased. At. All.
Professor Zooballoon saw what she could do with a Beater's Bat, imagine what she could do with a teph-a-lone..or whatever the thing was called. She didn't speak muggle. Raising her hand after the question, she rolled her eyes. The answer was so obvious, it would probably bite if it had teeth. "They can both fly."
The teph-a-lone could fly..
..if she threw it. Uh ...
"Miss Shepard, I've seen a lot of stuff in my years, but I have never seen a telephone fly."
That was interesting and clearly evident that Destiny was one who did NOT know much about the muggle world. Smart girl no doubt about it, but just muggle studies were not in her favor. SPOILER!!: they're annoying... the objects, not the students! ;P Quote:
Originally Posted by Roselyn OMG look at the owl! She sooooo wanted her owl back. Just not No-Name. Felix can have that bird. Crazy thing.
Oops! Distracted!
Well the only thing she could think of they had in common would have been that they were used for communication. Except, well no, she knew one more thing. "They both can be sometimes really really annoying."
Mmhmm. Really, really annoying. Quote:
Originally Posted by Gryffindorgurl Amber raised her hand. "Professor, they both make really annoying sounds when they're working... or living." She'd experienced the very annoying sounds of a muggle telephone before and it was not pretty. She'd ended up smashing the phone with her cousin's beaters bat. HA! That was fun! Oh that's a unique point, which was actually probably true and one that Josephina hadn't thought of before. "They can be annoying, especially when dealing with owl droppings ... or busy signals on the telephone." Quote:
Originally Posted by dragon_star She raised her hand. "Um...professor? I was just thinking, if they can't use magic, then they have to have something to substitute for it right? The main things that I can think of that muggles don't have are Owls for one example, they aren't smart...I mean thoughtful enough to domesticate them to get them to send mails to each other. The other one's is wand, can that possibly subsitute for our wand?" Hazel thought carefully. "And maybe a subsitute for transportation maybe? I mean we have our broomsticks they probably don't. Is any of them correct" Hazel asked. The transportation one is probably the least probability. How can muggles fit in there? Well, it's just a thought. Josephina looked to the next girl to speak, a young third year Slytherin of whom Fina had definitely seen around once or twice. Interesting similes though that the girl made. The telephone is the muggle version of the owl. "Well muggles don't use telephones for transportation, if that's what you were asking...." she smiled comfortingly at the snake. "But you're right about one thing, it is a substitute for the owl. It's used, as some of your peers said, to communicate." Quote:

Ah Epiphany! "They can represent the never ending struggle of good versus evil Professor" the lad explains "The red telephone has been used to call Batman for help...." he said gesturing to the red unit ".... specially when one of his notorious nemesis-- Owlman-- shows up and wreaks havoc on innocent civilians!" he said as he pointed to the owl. Good versus evil? Uh ... Fina stared at the next slytherin, bewildered by his sudden -- and outlandish -- statements. She didn't get it. Giving a confused look quickly to Jeremy, she hoped maybe he understood, but then simply shrugged it off. "That all sounds nice .... nicely fictional to me. But thank you." For what, she had no idea. Looking again over at her colleague, who was remaining awfully quiet, she decided to pick up the lesson a little, as the owl was flying around the room. They'd have to catch it later . . . or get Maya to come help. "So we know the owl is used in the wizarding world for communication purposes, and the telephone for muggles. As this is not a Magical Creatures lesson, we'll be discussing the latter. If you look carefully at the phone, you'll notice that there are numbers on it. Does anyone know how these numbers work?" At least one of these students had to have some connection to muggles, right?
