SPOILER!!: Hehe Hadley

Slumped in his chair, his palms resting on his thighs, Zeke observed the Muggle Studies lady across the table. Was she going to confess? It be so much easier if she did. Needless to say, he hadn't expected her to be so in depth with her sleeping habits, in fact, he hadn't really expected her to respond at all. It WAS rhetorical. Mmhhhmm. So when she DID reply, Zeke stared some more and blinked. "Uhhhh... okay." This was an interesting way to start a confession, but at least in doing so she promised details.

Of course, what came next completely derailed his line of thinking. So... they DIDN'T do tests and experiments on muggles? There was no memory wiping or anything like that? He was relieved, though also somewhat disappointed. It made muggle studies sound all sorts of boring now. Did she miss anything? "Nope, I think you covered it," he approved with a nod, "though... does that mean I shouldn't do muggle studies?" he asked before clarifying. "It's just, I was a muggle, so does that make me already qualified? Would it be too easy if I took the class? Am I exempt from it? Do I automatically get an Outstanding for it?... Like a credit?" Again, in case he hadn't made things explicitly clear moments before, he wanted good grades.

But then before she even really had a chance to take in his full appearance, he started in with the questions. So yes he HAD said he had questions, as in more than one, but the last thing Hadley expected was a rapid-fire succession of them. But by the time he got to the second question, she had picked up her quill and jotted keywords of his topics down: sleep, experiments, subjects involved, memories, good grades, ... was that it? Patient Badger though she was, she smiled sweetly at the first year as she waited for his mouth to stop moving before she began. "My sleep, like everyone with regular sleeping patterns, is characterized by altered consciousness, a relatively inhibited sensory activity, and the inhibition of all voluntary muscles. So it is complete muscle relaxation. You are generally not aware of your surroundings." He did want the science basis for sleep, didn't he? Judging from his questions. "As for experiments, this isn't Muggle Science or Psychology, Mr Rogers ... Zeke. This is Muggle Studies. We don't have test subjects like that. We don't modify memories. We just learn about the home and social habits of muggles. We don't rip apart a muggle's brain, but rather just learn how they do things. How what they do, is not so different from us." "So if you want good grades in this class, well, just be present and engaged." There wasn't really much more than she asked then just being present. "Did I miss anything?"
