Kurumi's attention was completely off Professor Cerulean and on the empty spotlight. How could this be a combined class without Professor Zookara? Then again, History of Magic had seemed to be overlapping with Muggle Studies this term, what with their conversation about pirates and how non-magical people could have created pirate legends out of real wizards. Frowning noticeably, Kurumi slouched in her seat a bit.

Another term where professors go missing…she really didn’t like the sound of this at all – especially since Professor Cerulean didn’t seem to concerned that her colleague was missing.

“Non-magical people’s magic is well, just that. The element of magic as we know it, we being witches and wizards, isn’t used but rather it is an illusion that creates the appearance of doing supernatural things by a slight of hand or some other trick. Many non-magical magicians will use mirrors or trick boxes to accomplish this.” Kurumi wasn’t sure she really liked people labeling one as more real than the other. To non-magical people, their form of magic was just as real as theirs was in the wizarding world. “Most of their forms of magic do not use wands to help create the illusion of performing amazing feats, but they instead use their hands and cover things with blankets. We know that wandless magic is very difficult and very few witches and wizards are able to perform this. So, our form of magic usually requires the use of a wand and some sort of incantation.”
