While talking she looked down at her robes and realized with a dark chuckle, "Although, right now, I guess, there probably are Muggles as well who run around like that." With another sigh she added, "Well, if they shouldn't look like ours, which I'm not completely sure but anyway, we could just say they're off to some costume party or something, right?"

Considering Mariel's other suggestions Nancy nodded and said with a roll of her eyes, "Oh my. That is just so difficult" She sighed and added in a low whisper, "-and so useless." Why were they doing this whole thing anyway?! It was ridiculous. Why were they the ones who had to hide? Who was the one who invented this Statute of Secrecy-thingy in the first place?! He must have been a complete nutter according to Nancy.
"Yes, I like your ideas. With the Quidditch supplies, you're right, it's probably easiest to just take the charms off. Muggles play ball games as well, don't they? So the Quaffle and such wouldn't be suspicious. Uhm, but what about the Snitch? Are there Muggle-games where you use balls as small as the Snitch?" There was one...something with "G" or so...hmm..."Uhm...is it golf, maybe? Yes, I think it is. Okay, so we've got everything, right? The tea-party-idea is great, by the way." Nancy smiled at Mariel impressed by her creativity.

Her eyes widened in surprise at Mariel's next words. Why wasn't this girl in Slytherin? "Oh, yes, how right you are? Why are we the ones who have to hide?!" She whispered back always glancing around to see if the professor wasn't nearby.

Uh-oh! No, Nancy didn't want to read out their list. They would probably be the worst group anyway considering their non-existent knowledge about Muggles. Oh, this was probably going to be embarrassing and a lot. Turning towards Mariel with a rather confused look on her face she replied, "I have absolutely no idea. Or I heard them talking about something like a sell-phone as well, what's that?!" Oh, they both so sucked at this.

Yeah, right! Nancy suppressed the urge to roll her eyes at the History of Magic's professor. Working for the Muggle Division of the Ministry. She would rather clean toilets in some shabby bar than work in that division. Well, she would be fired after the first ten minutes anyway since she so sucked at anything related to Muggles.
Throwing one last look at Mariel Nancy raised from where she had been sitting to present their ideas. She had made up her mind in the last ten seconds and had decided that she would take the chance to earn points, whether there ideas were frowned or laughed upon or not. The young Slytherin coughed to clear her throat and then said, "Uhm...we haven't presented our ideas yet." Hopefully Mariel wouldn't be angry with her but it was too late now anyway. "So...uhm, this is our list. I, we, hope that it's uhm...acceptable, at least."

SPOILER!!: Mariel and Nancy's list

Wand : A tie for men or an Alice band for women.
Robes: We weren't too sure whether Muggles wear clothes at all Muggle robes differ a lot from our robes but if so they can always say they're on their way to a costume party or something.
Broom: Well, just take the charm off and you can say it's a normal broom for cleaning your house.
Quaffle and Bludger: Take the charm off as well, so you can say that they're normal balls for Muggle ball-games.
Snitch: Take the charm off and pretend like it's a g-golf ball (is it golf ball?).
Chocolate Frog: Take the charm off and voilą it's only a normal chocolate in the form of a frog, what's so suspicious about that?!

Like at a tea-party...
Cauldron: The tea cups.
Floo Powder: The tea bags.
Pensieve: The kettle.


"Yes, uhm, that's it..." Nancy blushed a little at their, in her eyes, silly ideas and sat down quickly again. Out of the corner of her eyes she glanced at Mariel to see whether the girl was annoyed by her presentation or not.
Golf? Ok, Mariel would take Nancy's word for it. It sounded like a nonsense word, but apparently that's what you had to do in this class. Make up silly words for things to pass off as Muggle objects. Credit card? And now sell fone? Mariel shrugged and gave Nancy an exasperated look. "I don't know what that means either. Do you think they're making up these words? Maybe we should have done that." Yeah, right. Mariel started chuckling at the absurdity of that thought.

She snorted at Nancy's words about having to hide. "My father says it's just another form of persecution," she said quietly, so only Nancy would hear. What would he say now if he knew she was in a class trying to disguise their things to fit in with Muggles?

Her jaw dropped when she heard the professor's next words. Turning to Nancy, she grimaced and mouthed the words, 'Muggle division?!' Her father would surely disown her.

Wait. What was Nancy doing? Was she actually presenting their ideas in front of the class? Well, ok, as long as Mariel didn't have to do it. She nodded in agreement as Nancy read off their list, then shrugged when she seemed to look over at her for her approval. Sounded good to her. Nice and logical. Although they didn't make up any nonsense words like everyone else, so they probably wouldn't get points.
