Bucky took her seat quickly, not bothering to clean her rump. Soon, Professor Light went on to talk about Windex. As soon as she realized what it was she shot a look at Professor AMMZ to make sure she wasn't going to suddenly seize a bottle and start spraying students in the eyes. "Perhaps it's just how business is run," she said raising her hand. "Each company is trying to compete with the other to see which one sells the most even though the products are almost the same." |
"Yes, yes, all correct.. specifically you, Nik. Muggles don't really have one reason for trying out so many different methods to do the same thing. Because of buisness, many Muggles won't work together to find out a better solution, but in the end it's all the same thing. They haven't found the best solution yet. Muggles are amazing in that, they are always trying to improve. Wizards and witches can be, to be honest, somewhat lazy when it comes to discovery. We find a single method we like, and then we stop right there. Muggles will go as far as to make 5 attempts at the same window cleaner, to try and find the right solution. And they'll even make a buisness out of it. 5 points to everyone who guessed at an answer" Professor Light looked around. "You... er... might want to write that down..." Noticing the students were rather busy playing with the dirt, and not focusing onthe learning. |
Nik grinned smugly when Professor Light pointed him out, he was feeling quite proud of himself as he resisted the urge to stick a tongue out at Bucky. He jotted down what the professor had said and snorted when she mentioned that wizards were lazy. Sure they were, hence the house elves. |
"Er, yeah," Whende said. She nervously picked up her quill and began to write, smudging dirt from her hands across her parchment as she did. "Em, this isn't working so well," she announced after moment of trying to read what she'd written through the dirt. |
"Muggles also use things witches and wizards probably would never use and think of it as "cleaning". Muggle have tons of air freshners, dusters, and other sweeping implements to keep rooms clean." Professor Light waited for students to finish their notes, and then she went out the door. She rolled in a large Muggle vacuum cleaner, and parked it in front of the classroom. |
Bucky shook her head and scribbled down whatever she could about mops an window cleaners. Specifically about them being useful to spray people in the eyes. As soon as that thought crossed her mind she glanced over at AMMZ once more. Just making sure. Paranoid? Just a little. She made a face at Nikolai, making a mental note to call him a snobby little know it all after class. The ash was making her nose tickle and she wrinkled it in an attempt to stop the itching but it only made the need to sneeze greater until she did. "Achoo!" It sounded a whole lot like a dying mouse. Then, Professor light brought in the mighty vacuum cleaner. Bucky's eyes shone. Surely this would get rid of the mess. Even if it meant possibly sucking the rest of the students while it was doing so. Celestina didn't mind much if it sucked Nikolai up or Professor Branxton or Whende or Professor AMMZ for that matter. |
Nik's jaw dropped at the sight of the contraption. He couldnt contain his puzzlement and leaned forward over the table as he tried to get a better look, "WOAH! What is that?" he asked nobody in particular, a little bit too loudly. |
Whende giggled softly again. She smiled and drummed on her desk. Her fingers left little prints on it. "Bucky, you sounded like a rat," she said, causing herself to laugh again. She had to cover her mouth the make herself stop. One breath of what ever was on her hand caused her to sneeze as well. |
"Alright everyone. I've charmed this thing Merlin knows how many times to get it to work without electricity. This is a vacuum cleaner. Muggles use it to put up dust and dirt on rugs or on very dirty hard surfaces, sometimes. It's a very useful invention, as cleaning rugs is challenging even for us wizards and witches." "Now, I'm going to turn this on and demonstrate how it works for the class. I'll give everyone a chance to try it, hopefully it'll help clean up the dirt in here." Professor Light reaching down and pressed the on button. The vacuum cleaner started up with a loud *wereing* sound. Suddenly, it speed off to the corner of the room. The vacuum cleaner sped around the room, crazily, as if pocessed by some sort of demon. It whirred loudly and it's lights flashed and winked angrily. Professor Light shouted at the students to stay in there seats and began chasing it around the classroom, unsuccesfully. It was quite a sight. |
Jordana watched in awe as Professor Light chased the vacuum around the room. She was tempted to get up and help her, but pushed the thought aside when she shouted at them to stay seated. She bit her lip and wondered who would win this battle. Something told her the vacuum had a slight advantage. |
Just as she was about to wave her hand in the air wildly, wanting to be the first one to try it out the vacuum cleaner went berserk. At first she stared at it mild shock, then she let out a shriek and stoon on her chair. There was no way she was being sucked into no stinking muggle vacuum cleaner. "Careful Professor Light! It'll SUUUUUUUCK YOUUU!' She warned eerily, waving her arms about over head. |
Whende nodded. Right, vacuum. Does the same thing all vacuums do. She didn't really bother to write that down. Then Professor Light turned it on. The events that followed just set her off laughing again. Her eyes darted back and forth to watch the scene as her entire chair shook from in insistent laughter. |
Serena watched curiously as Professor Light wheeled the vacuum over to the front of the class. She did indeed remember the professor speaking about the vacuum in one of her classes, but she didn’t think that she had actually demonstrated the contraption. When the professor hit the button and the vacuum started, Serena almost jumped out of her seat from the loud noise. Wow. Muggle inventions certainly were noisy. Suddenly it seemed as though the machine had a mind of its own as it began to zig-zag through the room. Biting her lip to keep from squealing out loud, Serena pulled her feet up on her desk as she watched in shocked silence as Professor Light began to run around the room in an attempt to stop the runaway vacuum. Staring at Bucky as she leaped onto her seat and waved her hand, Serena couldn't help but giggle at the sight. This was turning out to be quite the amusing class. |
Nik watched with wide eyes as the professor turned the contraption on. He was just about to ask if he could try it when the thing started going crazy. He burst into gales of laughter as he saw Professor Light chase the thing around and around the dirty class. This was turning out to be the best class he'd ever attended, "Muggles sure have weird ways of cleaning..." he said between his laughter. |
Jen watched in awe as Light began chasing the vaccum. "Oh my goodness..." she said. |
Professor Branxton wasn't impressed at all with muggle cleaning technique. It seemed his class was even more dirty now than it had been after the dirt had been magicked onto the floors. He looked skeptically at the so-called 'vacuum cleaner'. Vacuum cleaner sounded liek something that was used to clean vacuums, not pull dirt up from carpets. But, he patiently awaited the demonstration. Astounding. It zoomed around the room, making all sorts of racket and churning up dust in its wake. It went into a corner and then, seeming to have it's 'eyes' fixed on the professors, it charged. His wand was out in the blink of an eye and he pointed it at the thing. "Reducto," he said in a clear voice, not too loud. |
As the vacumn cleaner seemed to prepare to zoom right at the three professors by the desk, to say nothing of plowing through a dozen or so students, Andi pulled out her wand and without thinking, snapped a hex. Unfortunately (or fortunately, if you had a thing about noisy vacumns sucking up your legs), Branxton had evidently decided to cast a spell as well, and Andi was forced to watch helplessly as the two jets streamed towards the mad vacumn cleaner and blew it up. The noise was shattering, take all the commotion the machine had caused, and times ten. The class was showered with plastic confetti. A black space where the recaltricant machine had been added to the blasted view of the room. "Oh," said Andi simply. "Oops." |
Professor Light was having issues catching it do to the massive amounts of dirt in the room. Professor Light dived to grab it but missed and landed on the floor. As it shot toward the other professors, she shouted out loud, "FOR THE RECORD, THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!!!" Professor Light was now completely covered in dirt and she try to brush herself off unsucessfully. Just then, the vacuum exploded in front of her. |
Whende was laughing so hard that she couldn't breath. And then: KABOOM! She covered her ears to block out the noise, but still heard it loud and clear anyway. After that, she was pelted with small bits of plastic. By the time the explosion was actually over, several scratch marks covered her already dirty face and arms. She uttered a single word, "Whoa." |
Jordana's mouth dropped open when the Professor dived for the out of control vacuum and missed. She snapped her finger, and felt as if she were at a baseball game and the runner barely missed the base, before being called out. She continued to watch Professor Light and the vacuum dumbfounded. Suddenly the machine exploded. Jordana put her hands to her mouth and couldn't believe that this had just happened. At least it passed away doing what it loved to do. she thought to herself, while she suppressed a giggle. |
"WICKED!" Nik exclaimed as the machine burst right before his eyes. He was now more involved in the class than he had ever been in any other class he'd attented. "I think I'll buy one of those." he whispered to the person sitting beside him. |

"Professor Light?" Jen said timidly. "I don't want to be rude, but this is exactly what handles are for--keeping the thing from going crazy." |
Rave, sitting in the front of the class, was covered in grim as the vacuum cleaner exploded not far from her. For a moment she sat frozen before wiping as much grim as she could away from her eyes and mouth. "Ahh professor, Could you?" she gestured at herself asking if someone would please clean her off. |
"Erm, right," said Andi, for once her composure quite shaken. "That wasn't supposed to happen with that particular spell I shot either. It fused with Branxton's. Damn. I'm sorry, Light. Your vacumn cleaner has gone where, er, all good vacumn cleaners go. Except it wasn't a very good vacumn cleaner anyway," she added in a mutter. |
