And now that that was out there on the table, he could elaborate a little. "My mum isn't either. Neither is my dad, well, I think sometimes he is, but we don't really go on Muggle adventures, so I don't know much about them." Pausepausepauseforthought.

"And anyway, I was wondering, how you came to be good at Muggle Studies? And how I could get better at studying Muggles? Without, you know, like, riding the Tuber or anything. And beyond just what we learn in class, which is a LOT, but still very confusing, to me anyway." He'd TRIED to look up at least ONE thing about Muggles to impress the Head, see, and that one thing just happened to be about the underground train the Muggles all rode. Because trains were cool.

Moxley's smile was a reassuring one as she listened to the Claw go on about his muggle studies troubles. They were understandable and the fact that David seemed interested in learning despite his confusion said quite a bit. And yes, the mention of the trains earned a Moxley grin. Good on him for coming prepared.

"The thing I've always loved most about Muggle Studies is that it enables us to see that muggles are driven by the same basic needs that we are and their methods of satisfying these needs are often inventive and extremely interesting. I also like that studying muggles makes my appreciation for magic so much greater. I don't take my ability for granted." So the passion was there and necessary for success. "Start by finding a muggle object you're interested in. Research it. Try and figure out its function and then make a connection to something we use in the wizarding world that is similar. Making connections, that's what Muggle Studies is about. Once you've found that common ground, I think it'll come easier to you."

Could he tell how much she loved teaching this subject? She LOVED it.
