"Great point Kurumi!" she paused and walked a little bit closer to her table to answer her question, "Your waiter or waitress will be trained to avoid your water when they serve you from the right. Most of the time they have set up the table and have set it up with enough room for them to place the plates without causing a spill...however, it's always a good idea to lean just a little bit out of their way when they are serving or taking the plates away just to help them out...."

SPOILER!!: Right-y-o

The young professor's face was excited about all of the right answers. "Yes the waiter would serve you from the right side and take your plate from the left side...so always try to lean away just a little bit so that it makes it easier for the waiter to reach your serving setting..." she flicked her wand and the cups of minestrone levitated down to their right shoulders and then levitated to the serving plate. "You need to use the soup spoon..." she held up the spoon from the right side of her plate and all of the soup spoons on the table rose up slightly. "to eat your soup."

SPOILER!!: Soup

She gave them a little bit of time to eat their soup, and for her to eat her soup, and when it seemed like a majority of them were done she flicked her wand and the next course, the salad, in little glasses, flew in from a side door and levitated on the side of the room.

SPOILER!!: Salad

"Okay let's go on to our next course, our fruit salad. It has strawberries, pineapple, melons, blueberries, peaches, and watermelons diced up very small." She flicked her wand and the soup cups were removed from the table on the students' left side and instantly the glasses of fruit salad levitated around the students' right side and landed. "Make sure you use your salad fork" she said holding up the little fork causing all of these forks to raise up a little bit, "for the salad course."

As the students began to eat, she decided it was time to pose the next question, "Can anyone tell me what you do with your silverware after you have used it....not at the end of the meal but...for instance, after you butter a piece of bread, what do you do with your butter knife?

OOC: Remember to raise your hand before you answer. .And as always remember she is always watching you! But remember she doesn't handle rudeness towards Muggle ways very well, so you might want to keep those prejudices to yourself unless you want face the consequences! Try the soup and the salad...yummy...feel free to have LIGHT conversation at your table....but don't get carried away...

Angelina sat and ate her soup slowly, untill she was tired of it, it was good, but she was full of soup. Once she heard the salad was full of all her favorite fruit that was it, she was excited! She was in love with strawberries, pineapple, peaches, wwatermelons, etc. Happily she took the a small amount of salad. She was about to pick up her dinner fork, or whatever you call it and use it tell her professor reminded them all to use their salad fork. Angelina than sat and at the amazing salad while listending to the professor talking to them. Raising her hand she said, "Professor wouldn't you set it on your bread plate?" Well thats what she did.

SPOILER!!: Professor

I went down and visited them yesterday and we spent all day working on these things...THey enjoyed learning some new recipes and, of course, I made sure we had made enough for them to have the courses as well.!" she said excitedly...she had had soooo much fun with the elves cooking and seeing them get excited about the new recipes...maybe they could work something into the feast...

SPOILER!!: Awesome...thanks!

"Yes ya'll are correct!" she said shaking her head up and down. "Once used, your utensils, including the handles, must not touch the table again. Always rest forks, knives, and spoons on the side of your plate or in the bowl or cup." she picked up her used fork from her plate and demonstrated for them on the screen. "You should always place it on the outer rim of the plate if you grab a drink or wipe your mouth with your napkin or something similar. You should never let it rest gangplank fashion with half of it on the plate and half of it on the table."

She glanced around the room to see if the majority of students were done with the fruit salad course. "If you'll just place your salad fork in the cup, when you are done. This will signal that you are done with this course..." she waited for the students to do that and with a flick the cups where removed on the left side of each student and floated out as the next course flew in.

SPOILER!!: Lasagna Course...you'll just get one of the circles

She flicked her wand and the next course landed onto their serving plates. "Alright this is our first main dish. You can use the Fish Knife for this course..." she said picking up her knife, as the other utensils had, this fork raised up from all of the tables slightly. She flicked her wand and baskets of bread flew in an landed in the middle of each table.

SPOILER!!: Bread Sticks...Yummy

"Now it is important for you to pace yourself as you eat so that you don't finish before others are halfway through. So if you are a slow eater, try to speed up a bit on this occasion so you don't hold everyone up. And if you are a quick eater, slow down." she said eying her lasagna...this was going to be so good and the smell of garlic was just amazing!!! One of her favorites.

"In the next course, we are going to have sourdough rolls. Can anyone tell me what the proper way to eat bread is?" she asked motioning for them to start eating their lasagna...then she took her first bite.

OOC: Remember to raise your hand before you answer. .And as always remember she is always watching you! But remember she doesn't handle rudeness towards Muggle ways very well, so you might want to keep those prejudices to yourself unless you want face the consequences! Try the lasagna...oooo I love the smell of garlic from the bread...yummy...feel free to have LIGHT conversation at your table....but don't get carried away...

Angelina looked sadly down at her fruit salad, it was all gone. She loved it so much! Since she was done she placed her fork in the cup and waited for the next course, and listened to the Professor talking, she didn't want to miss anything.

Yum, lasanga! She loved that lasanga. She hardly even has it though, this just made her whole day amazing. She doesn't think anything can ruin her day after this Muggle Studies lesson!

She looked down at her lasanga and couldn't wait to eat it, but as professor said, don't eat to fast. This would be find though, she can enjoy the amazing lasanga, no matter how good it is.

Raising her hand she said, "Professor, I believe you would eat your bread in little pieces, and not in one big bit(s)."
