Time to learn about the Muggle things. And try not to miss Ms Moxley too much. Focus on Professor Stewart. Because rawwr. Yes distract yourself with that curly top.

"Hey Professor how are y-- ooohhh!!" the Gryffindor began to greet her when he was IMMEDIATELY distracted by the contraption at the back of the room. Buzz around it like a moth to the light he was. A laptop and a projector circa Harry Potter! Of course this Gryffinclaw will be all over it.

So tempting to tooooooooouuuuch.....

Hadley Denaker entered the classroom, early for once, still sucking the syrup off her fingers from the morning's pancakes. It was a small thing, but easily conjured images of when she'd be a seven year old for anyone that saw her then.

Speaking of which, Hadley put it off too long already.

She dropped her bag at a desk near the back of the middle row on the right and made her way to the front. "Uh, look, Professor Stewart," 'Kay! She paused a moment, watching Salamander inspect the laptop from every angle. Wizard-borns. "I just wanted to say sorry for bursting into your office a few weeks ago. You know, when I was seven...Salamander, what are you doing?" She couldn't help it, the boy was distracting her.

Sometimes she thought she kept her seven year old attention span after being cured...

As per usual Katerina skipped to her lessons. Muggle studies had to be one of her favorite subjects right behind herbology, defense against the dark arts and charms of course. Anyway, the second year, wondered into the classroom.

Looking around she noticed that she could take either a left side or a right side. Mmmm she thought about it for a millisecond, before her blue eyes noticed something else. A laptop, she walked closer to it and stop. Look but don't touch, Katerina. She walked around the table carefully. "Hello professor Stewart. How's your day?"

Choosing the left side the blonde took the closest seat to the professor on that side. She settled into the chair, crossing her legs indian style into the desk. She liked being small enough to sit that way in seats.

Azura walked into class with a wide albeit fake smile on her face. The early morning didn't bother her, she didn't sleep much last night anyways and ended up in the common room working on her homework and a song she had been writing for Noah..

If she looked pale or if there were dark circles beneath her dull purple eyes.. Azura wasn't paying attention to them. Her Raven hair was pulled back neatly into a bun.

"Good Morning Professor Stewart."" She said in a bright voice as she looked around and then headed for the right side of the room. She saw Haddie talking to Tenacius and she waved at them both before taking her seat. She sank back into the comfy chair for a moment before she pulled out her Emerald Green Quill and some parchment. There, she was prepared now. Ready to be a good student and prove to the world that she was fine!

Hopefully the Professor didn't know.

Katherine took permission from Professor Moxley last year to attend Muggle Studies even though she was just a second year, and she didn't see the necessity to ask Professor Stewart again. If she didn't want her there, she would leave alright. But of course she was completely awake that morning as she always was for classes. She entered, nodded at the students there and sat at one of the left-front desks.

Was that a projector?

Yeah, she had read even the electives over the summer.

Muggle Studies was Kitty's favorite subject at Hogwarts. One of the reason was that she knew muggles in real life and found them simply adorable, and another was that there was never any danger when it came to studying muggles. Also, she was liking the new professor. So Kitty was in a cheerful mood as she made her way to the muggle studies classroom that bright and sunny morning.

"Good morning Professor Stewart." Kitty smiled pleasantly at the professor before making her way to the left side of the room. She waved to her Ravenclaw friends Haddie (back to her proper age) and Azura (who was starting to look as pale as Kitty) before sitting at a seat in the front row a few seats away from Katherine.

Her eyes sparkled when she noticed the laptop. "Ooh professor, is there internet here?"

One GOOD thing over Muggle Studies lessons was that they were only on the first floor. Which meant Sky could practically roll out of bed and make it to class on time, instead of having to climb five bajillion flights of stairs. And having the stress of the staircase MOVING on you generally right where you wanted it to go and thus having to recalculate your route. Stress. Honestly, whoever designed the Hogwarts castle was desperate keep students physically fit.

Not that any of it was a concern for the first year today, as she only had to climb two flights of stairs to make it from the dungeons. She did feel SLIGHTLY bad for the Gryffindors and the Ravenclaws who had to come down from their towers.

Entering the classroom, again Sky was faced with the decision over where to sit. Choosing again to sit somewhere in the middle ... second or third row from the front, because she didn't want to seem to eager, but didn't want to seem like a slacker either.

"Morning Professor," Sky greeted politely. Another good thing about this class was that the professor was also a new face to Hogwarts (at least in terms of recent years. Whether or not she attended as a student would have meant she hadn't been there in awhile)

Muggle studies.
Why did you have to be so early?? Early meant that Noelle had to wake up even earlier to do some training before class. She was already tired and it was only the first class of the day.

Noelle stretched her aching muscles as she walked into class. At least muggles studies was going to be an easier class since she was half blood. Or so she hoped.

Noelle looked around at who all was in here. She noticed that the class was divided. She saw Tenacious and Hads. Then Kitty and Katherine. Oh and Sky. Hmm. She should probably steer clear of her just in case Noahs hatred for her had been passed on. Noelle sat on the other side of the classroom and made herself comfortable.

She got her desk ready and smiled at the professor and... Oh a laptop!! She loved those things.

Muggle Studies. Again. Ugh. As if the feast back in September hadn't been enough of a slap to the face, now he had to see the woman that wasn't Moxley every time he came to what used to be his favourite lesson. It's what he got, he supposed. The Third Year should have known there was no such thing as a subject you could love in a place like Hogwarts. The castle ALWAYS found a way of messing everything up, always. It was no wonder the boy never looked pleased to be here and this morning was no different.

Had Professor Airey not already had him on a watch list for his tendency to...not attend lessons, he might have added this one to said list. There was still time he supposed.

Professor Stewart received the usual grumble of greeting from him as he walked by her with his quick quotes quill and notepad floating in tow.

Inside the room, Blaise didn't take much of a look around. It was never that he'd liked Muggle Studies, but that it had his favourite Professor and didn't require him to use magic. Consequently, the contraception sending light to the front of the room? It didn't matter to him what it was.

The boy slumped into his seat at the back, his reluctance at yet another of these lessons quite evident.

One of her favorite classes were about to start and she was really excited, hopping into the class room she noticed that there were two sets of desks and not to mention a laptop. ohhh are they going to be learning about this today, if they were Echo knew a lot about it.

"Hi professor" she waved as well

Finding a seat kind of hear the wall she took our her parchment paper and quill out of her bag then she had to fish on the bottom of her bag for her ink. she had to remind herself that she needed to buy inkless quills. "maybe i'll owl mom and dad to send me a few" she thought while writing her name and date on the top of her page.

Melbourne Johanson ran all the way to the muggle studies classroom. Somehow she had managed to get to the fifth floor classroom in time…why had she run down to grab food before the class? It probably wasn’t her wisest decision with the time crunch and everything…not to mention…Running. She’d need to ask older girls HOW they did it without being all ugh.

Yep.

That potions class had made her feel…a little awkward about how she would end up being. Even now after taking the anti-potion the second year Gryffindor was bundled up in an absurd amount of bulky way too large for her sweaters. They were so large in fact that the sleeves hung down every time she moved her arm. It was as if they were sized to be a dress…in fact there was a chance that she had simply charmed her own uniform sweater to be bigger…stretchier. So stretchy that she could tuck her knees up under the sweater and not show off any of her legs or feet to the world as she did so.

The Gryffindor second year waved over to Hadley, Tenacius, and Kat…and that was when she saw Azura and gave her a smile. She was going to be fine. Azura was a trooper obviously…and if not Mel’d help make some potion to make people think she was happier than she was.

She was a good friend like that…oooooh Kitty! Mel waved over to the Ravenclaw girls, and even gave Katherine Moss a nod and wave. Noelle of course got a grin as well and a wait…were these computers and and projectors? Were they watching a movie? Or learning about the internet or something awesome like that? The Gryffindor girl grinned up at Professor Stewart. “Hello Professor Stewart….” She smiled over to the Professor before pointing her wand at her sweater and muttering the counter spell that she had simply cast to be able to run easily.

There.

She looked like a well-dressed student…It was still lumpy but that was because of the unfortunate mounds of flesh that were sadly stretching it out. Darn it. Shifting she sat down with a thump near Hadley and Tenacius. “Hey…” she smiled as she picked up the laptop on her desk and hugged it to her before putting it down. Yep.

Totally a sane reaction to seeing muggle tech.

Muggle Studies would NOT be the same without Moxley, just like the school wouldn't be the same without that cheerful, intelligent woman leading them. Just like the classroom would be bland and boring without the fabulously weird costumes Moxley used to dream up.

But she wasn't going to toss the new professor out the door completely... yet. She had a chance to win Dot over.

"Good day to you, Professor," Dot smiled politely and nodded at the professor before taking a seat. She also gave Blaise a ruffle to his hair and Ace a wink. Gotta keep her ickles close.

As he made his way towards Muggle Studies, Cornelius busied himself with attempting to fix his tie. His tongue was stuck between his lips as he tried to concentrate. With no avail he slumped him shoulders as he arrived at the door of Muggle Studies. His bottom lip stuck out as he glanced up at Professor Stewart.

"Hullo," he smiled through his spoiled-boy pout. Life was hard, okay? "I seem to have a problem." He lifted his tie. "It won't let me tie it properly and rules are that I have to be properly dressed in your class and I don't want to lose points. Could you help me, please?" Or let him go into the classroom without point deduction.

WHAT A PLEASANT DAY IT WAS TODAY!

Rooney burst through the door into the Muggle Studies classroom with a grin. "Goooooood morning BallltiMOOOOOOOOOOREEEE!" Kind of. They were in Hogwarts. Which was in Scotland. Which...he guessed could be his Baltimore. For now! IT DIDN'T EVEN MATTER. Rooney Bronwyn was on cloud nine and no questions about that could bring his mood down. HE had an audition this Christmas. He had a fantastic opportunity for the next summer and it was THE BEST. Something he had wanted for a very, very long time.

Noticed.

Noticed by a GREAT place for GREAT people who thought that HE WAS GREAT TOO.

"Hello to you too, Professor Stewart. You're looooking lovely!" Nothing more to say, Roo winked and found his way to a seat and continued to hum his song, tapping his foot in time.

Swoooooooooooooning at life.

SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON.

Janelle arrived at Muggle Studies class ready for whatever. At least she hoped she'd be ready. As she entered the classroom, she offered a cheerful greeting. "Hello Professor Stewart", she said, before proceeding to the nearest empty desk.

Plopping down in the seat, Janelle reached for her backpack and pulled out her notebook and pen. She felt like she was back in Muggle school again, for a quick moment. Putting that thought aside, Janelle leaned back and stretched out her legs. Might as well get comfortable while she waited for class to begin. In the meantime, she wondered what the professor had in store for them today. Spotting the laptop and the projector, her curiosity was really piqued. She'd just have to be patient and wait to find out.

Muggle Studies wouldn't be the same without Professor Moxley, but that didn't mean that Esme wasn't going to give the new teacher a chance. This woman had big shoes to fill and the Hufflepuff was confident that she would do a good job of it.

"Hello, Professor Stewart." Yes, she saw the projector and no it didn't cause any reaction in her. Not like Esme was foreign to muggle objects or anything. Maybe they were going to watch a movie today and that was something she was more than fine with. As it was, she waved to her friends and took a seat before pulling out everything that she needed for the lesson.

This was one class that Evie was glad for, everything here would be her "normal". As she approached the classroom she saw the professor by the door. "Hello Professor, what a wonderful day!" She grinned up at the woman as she walked by. Entering the classroom she was pleased to see school desks and Was that a laptop?!?! Could she check her emails? What if her dad had been trying to contact her?" She decided to ask after class about that. She took a seat near the back beside the laptop and projector, finding comfort in the hum of the machines. Pulling out paper and an ink pen from her father's bank she sat back and waited on class to begin.

Olly had almost forgotten that Moxley was gone. He didn't usually see her very often of course, but she was always around for lessons. Except this year she wasn't. He was more bummed about it than he'd expected to be. It wasn't like they were very close after all, but he did like her. She was a good professor. Of course this professor was probably very good as well but she wasn't Moxley.

Olly entered the room quietly and looked around. He glanced up at not Moxley for a moment before his attention was caught by the decor. Those were computers, he knew what they were. He'd never really used one because he was a wizard after all, but one of his dads was muggleborn so he understood the basics. He took a seat close to Dot, because he hadn't seen her much this term and he missed her. And if he had any trouble he was confident she'd be able to help.

Muggle studies was always interesting. Usually because it meant food or candy or something exciting. After OWLs last term, Kaycee really craved something low key.

She hoped this Professor would be able to provide that.

"Hello Professor." she greeted before taking a seat. Bring on the knowledge.

Henric entered the classroom with a smile on his face. Of course, he didn't forget to fix his tie, with his hair combed sleekly to one side and his badge polished and ready to shine! Not bad, hmm? The Headboy must looked exemplary for the young ones to follow suit. It wouldn't do if he was dressed sloppily. "Good morning Professor Stewart, lovely to see you." As much as he would miss Professor Moxley's lesson, he wasn't at all complaining. The new professor was quite a looker, and had and attractive smile too. Hopefully, he would enjoy her lesson very much.

Alright, time to find a seat! Now... which side would he choose today? Left or right? Hmm. Shrugging, he chose the one he would like to seat. At the very back, on the left near the windows. He noticed the projector running... and a laptop beside it, nothing unusual there. Were they going to watch a movie or documentaries perhaps?

Worried that she had arrived late as she saw half the seats filled up, Clara panicked and checked her wristwatch, only to find that she was still over ten minutes early. Breathing a sigh of relief, she scanned the room for an open spot.

Muggle Studies had always been one of her favorite courses, even though she did have one muggle parent. However, learning about the perception of muggles through the eyes of wizards had to be one of the most fascinating things Clara had ever known.

Many eyes were goggling at the projector and laptop in the room, but she didn't take much notice, to be honest. It was pretty common in her home, and throughout primary school. Seeing a spare seat in the corner of the front row on the left side, Clara excuse-me'd her way through a few other students and sat down. Taking her writing instruments and parchment out, she shifted her focus to the professor at the front of the classroom, eagerly waiting for class to begin.

Fiyero leaned on the railing at the bottom of the stairs, huffing and puffing to catch his breath. Why did the Muggle Studies classroom have to be so far from Gryffindor Tower?! He could've spared himself the trouble by dropping the subject - He was a halfblood, after all. He'd spent the first eleven years of his life in the Muggle world with his father's side of the family, but he thought maybe taking this class would help him understand why his father hated the wizarding world so much.

He stood up a little straighter, running a hand through his blond hair as he saw Professor Stewart standing in the doorway. "Hello, Professor," he greeted her, smiling warmly as he straightened his tie. He didn't see why it mattered if his tie was a little crooked, but Professor Stewart seemed like a stickler for appearances... and he didn't want to lose any of the points he'd earned in Herbology.

Fiyero took a seat in one of the middle rows on the left side of the room, taking out a quill and a few sheets of parchment. As he glanced behind him, he saw a laptop sitting on a table. It kinda looked like the one Grandpa Jones used... except older, a lot older. Wait, what was that thing?!

Fiyero did a double take as he noticed the large contraption hooked up to the laptop. He'd definitely never seen one of those before! He got up to take a closer look - hey, Professor Stewart said not to trouble it; she didn't say anything about looking at it. He examined the strange object from all angles, taking special care not to bump the table. It almost looked like a camera...

Hmm, maybe we're learning about Muggle technology, Fiyero thought as he returned to his seat.

Juno walked quietly into the room, noting where her twin sister was sitting before greeting the professor. She put on a sleepy smile, "Morning Professor." This new professor looked like she was going to be really cool.

She quietly walked over to her sister and sat down. "Hey Es," She said quietly before pulling out all the supplies she would need for the lesson. She also noticed the laptop at the back of the room, and started to wonder what they would be doing today.

Muggle Studies, surprisingly, isn't such a boring subject even if he was mostly brought up in a muggle environment. It was always a joy to learn from his classmates who were brought up in the wizarding community-- and see how fascinated...and curious they get if the subject is exciting enough to pique their interest.

Tugging down his Ravenclaw tie, Jace walked briskly towards the Muggle Studies classroom, and stopped to face the woman at the door. "Ohayo gozaimasu, Stewart-sensei." he said bowing politely and grinned at the former Ravenclaw.

With a grin, he showed himself inside the classroom, and immediately took a seat with Azura and Katherine. "Ohayo..." he said to both girls as he got his notebook and muggle pen out. "Are we going to watch a movie?" he asked eyeing the laptop and projector up front.

Hmm.
