Alexis rasied her hand " My cousin told me once about John Greenwood, in 1824 he operated the first "bus route" from Market Street in Manchester to Pendleton in Salford."

Alex raised her hand. "The first motorized buss was in 1895 and was a modified version of the Benz." Alex said, remembering when her mother had thought her about automobiles, as for the fare, she couldn't quiet remember how much it was.

Willow grinned at Carter's reply, and took notes of all the brands of cars that he mentioned and of all the rest of thie things he said, such as the reason why the london taxicabs had a high ceiling. It could all come in the exam, so she wasn't taking chances.

At the moment he heard his question, she shot her hand to the air and replied, "The Electric bus' fare was of 5 cents, and it was first invented in 1900 if I'm not mistaken" She said with a little frown. She better not be mistaken, "Meanwhile, the world's first motorized bus was first invented on 1905 I think, and it was sometimes refer as autobus" Bless the Muggle section of the library! "Oh, and the brand of it was Benz, I believe"

Juniper raised her hand. “I think the first bus in England was used sometime around 1830. It was called an omnibus, which means for all. That’s where the word bus comes from,” she said. “The first motorized bus, though, was first used sometime after 1905. That was called an autobus. It probably cost about three cents to ride the first buses. Cents are sort of like Muggle sickles, but they were worth pretty much back then.”

Rhiannon quietly took notes as class had continued. So far, her brain had been tapped of anything she might know about Muggle transportation. Unless something happened to jog her memory. But the only thing Carter had brought up that had perked her up was da Vinci. And information about the Italian artist from the Muggle Renaissance didn't seem to be relevant to the discussion.

Shayna scribbled down furiously, tearing into her notepad with her biro in her haste. She looked up in awe at the students' avid replies, her mouth hanging open slightly. She definitely needed to keep on track with her work. And Muggle Studies was meant to be her best subject!

First thing, straight after this lesson, I need to get myself to the library. Boy, have I got a lot to catch up with, she muttered under her breath, before returning to her notes.

Hitachi thought about the answer and scratched his chin. "I think the first bus was invented in the 1890s!"

Shayna turned to the voice which had just piped up, from behind her. 'Well done, you.', she joked, sticking her tongue out.

Woah! Shayna thought to herself, backtracking. She haven't been in such a good mood in ages. Who would've thought going to lessons would help, of all things? Shaking her head ruefully, she continued to observe silently.

Torie sat near the front of the room, feeling a little spaced out today. Her head was resting in her hand, which was propped up on the windowsill to her left. Her eyes were not focused on the lesson, but rather the large windows to the side of the classroom. Snow was falling and Torie was lost in a daydream about skating on the frozen surface of the lake in the nearby future. She could picture herself, bundled up in the new sweater her mother had made her, gliding on the smooth ice. Her red and gold Gryffindor scarf was flapping in the breeze and her red hair whipped her in the face as she circled around and around....

A clamour of shouts about tubes and trains snapped Torie's attention back to the present situation. With a sigh, she turned to look at those causing the disturbance. She frowned at them, her mouth twisting into a scowl. 'Who cares!' thought Torie to herself in annoyance. 'It's all the same thing anyway!" Feeling particularly intolerant today, Torie returned her attention to the front of the classroom and the professor. She needed to be engaged if she wanted to earn Gryffindor some much needed house points.

Lily listened as the professor asked the question, and she took notes of her classmate's answers. She needed to have full concentration on the class, if she wanted to earn house points and get good grades.

Kyler, who was placed around the back of the class, tapped his mechanical pencil loudly against his desk. Clearly, this was not helping him with his answer to carter's question. And he was good with this muggle stuff! What was his problem today, anyway? With Lima on his mind half the time.

And that's when the answer hit him; and his hand flew up in the air like A rocket. "The motorized bus, I think, was made around nineteen-oh-five," A fare grin was placed on his face. Even though half the class already shouted out the answer, he was proud of himself for actually speaking up and answering the question, instead of sinking into his seat. "And im positive the electric bus thingy was made in the nineteen-hundreds, with A fare cost of five cents, I believe." Woah, did he sound smart or what! With all this fancy talk. Hah! In your face Vannies! Calling him A fool..

Eliza, who sat unnaturally silent in the back of the classroom, simply listened as many different answers floated around the room. She didn't not have the slightest clue as to the answer to the question. She couldn't help but feel a little lost, since she didn't seem to understand the topic being discussed. Which was very weird since she knew a lot about muggles.

Sinking deeper into her seat, her mind began to wander to other unimportant things. She usually did so well in this class and yet she was completely in the dark when it came to this topic. The feelings of disappointment began to feel her stomach as she listened hopelessly to what everyone else was saying. She bit her lip as she tried to find the answer to the question, but still nothing came. Glancing out the window, she watched silently as the snow fell with such grace and a peacefulness. 'Woah I'm so utterly lost.' she thought to herself as she looked down at her paper which was filled with doodles and other random things.'Which is very very sad.'

"Did the trolley come first?" Emma asked as she raised her hand, "That was kind of the first real type of mass transportation, wasn't it?"

Alexis shook her head and looked around, class was still going and she had dosed off! She quickly wrote down some notes

Tommy was in class taking notes. She was totally lost when it came to anything dealing with muggles. Until she came to Hogwarts, she had never even met a wizard who was half and half, let alone a muggle born. She raised her hand.

"Um, what is mass transportation?" She saw a few people look at her, and she blushed at the simple question she had to ask.

I think the trolley was first and I think it came from Italy not London. I think it was in the 1900's." Jason said in Muggles class.
" Mass transportation means busses and trolleys and in later times, subwayss which are underground trains" Jason Potter Weasley told the other student since he is half muggle

Tommy looked at the boy, she still had no clue what a busses was nor a train underground. She didn't know if she should ask these questions.

"Ask me what you want Tommy" Jason told her.

She didn't want to be rude and hold a conversation while the professor was talking, she pulled out a fresh piece of parchment, and began to scribble out a note

What is a busses?

she folded the sheet and handed it to the Gryffindor boy

Well busses are more than one vehicle. A bus has four wheels, a stick shift, wide steering wheel and has one driver. Muggles pay to take them through their city if they do not drive muggle cars or choose not to drive cars. They carry a lot of Muggles. Here, they have Double Decker busses- two level busses and in Muggles in America have only one level.

Tommy nodded her head. She felt so stupid and out of place, in a muggle studies class. Her mother would kill here. And here she was learning how muggles got around without floo powder.

"Thank you." She whispered to him.

" No problem Tommy, anytime for a freind" Jason tells her.

She was pleased that she had managed to get some points for Slytherin with her answer about muggles travelling by donkey or camel (even though Ellie had laughed at her... hmph! - just shows what that girl knew!). But Ems was utterly confused by the class now - her mouth fell open as she listened to the other kids. How the heck did they know this stuff!? She was obviously surrounded by muggleborns. It seemed completely unfair to her that they should even be allowed to attend this class. It put the ignorant purebloods at a distinct disadvantage, even if she had read her textbook several times from cover to cover – it was all too confusing. She picked up her muggle pen and jotted down a few nonsensical notes just to make it look as if she knew what she was doing. What a bloody joke.

She looked over and saw a confused look on Emily's face, and she was glad that she was not so far behind some of her classmates. She started taking some more notes.

Jason sneered and laughead at the Slytherin's complaint about Muggleborns and claases about them. Jason Potter Weasely is half pureblood and half Muuglle. Jason thinks to himself, this is why I do not like a lot of purebloods- always about themselves and being rich in money but not knowledge.
