| | |  Muggle Studies Lesson 1 - Currency Conversion and Muggle Fashions
Antonio walked into the classroom, getting things ready for the students ahead of time. There were two differrent subjects he wanted to cover in today's lesson, so he knew that time was of the essence. The first part of the lesson was going to focus on currency conversion, so he began to get his materials out for the students as they entered the room.
The first item was a converter chart which would convert wizarding money into United States dollars - Harry Potter currency converter
The second item was another converter chart, this one converted the British pound, the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Euro dollar, the Australian dollar and the Japanese yen back and forth into one of the other type of currency. Currency Converter - Yahoo! Finance
There were other types of currency in the world, of course, but Antonio had found these sources easy to work with and thought the students would be able to use the materials easily in class.
He waited for the students to show up, calling out instructions to each person as they entered.
"Good morning, everyone. We are going to be working with a couple different things today, but the first part deals with currency. Please take one of each of the two handouts as you enter, then take a seat and we'll be getting ready soon. Feel free to take a chocolate chip cookie, as well, and perhaps some pumpkin juice." He gestured to the serving area to the side of his desk. | |

Then she saw the death glare that the Hufflepuff Prefect cast over to the boy. She smirked, then looked down at her paper. Quote:

She grinned back at Maddox, nudged him in the side, and waited for the professor to return to speaking.

Miles did not understand why Muggles liked to change their money rate around, what a bizzare thing to do! Maybe, they got bored of the number, and liked to change it. He liked what Clifford said, and very much agreed with what he said. Fussy Muggles. | |

"There is a lot in here, lots of things to absorb. Why don't you all go through and explore it a bit, and I'll leave you all alone for a while to work.

Jack gasped "Detention?" he shook fakely "Oh, p-p-p-p-points?" he asked his eyes wide, he looked at the fellow Huffies around the room "Okay, I'll sit here quietly" he sighed

Antonio realized the textbook he had posted applied to ladies only. He quickly added another textbook. Men's Fashion - Grooming, Style and Fashion for Men
"And this one is for use by the gentlemen."

Jake turned to Jack. If that boy lost points then so be it... he'd be at the mercy of Dominic and Winters.
But then, he promised to sit quietly... hmmm. Jake still felt suspicious as he started to read.

Elizabeth took one of the handbooks the professor handed out now, as he said they were moving on to a new topic, and looked around as he said he was going to leave them alone for a while. Sighing, she buried her face in the handbook, knowing that at least some people were probably going to choose not to follow the professor's order not to misbehave. At least she wasn't gonna get into trouble.

Varius accepted the handbook from the Professor with a "Thanks", choosing to ignore his comment about deducting points. Maybe when the Professor returned there would be no Jack Moiser left to punish... a number of Hufflepuff's and other students didn't seem happy about his antics afterall...

Melanie growled under her breath. Stupid idiot Moiser kid moronic
She could hardly understand this math stuff, but at least she tried. And now this boy was going to lose all the Hufflepuff's hard earned points. He had already mad her mad in potions, but this was just plain annoying.
"Shut up Jack! What's your issue? Either leave or stay and learn. Although I think I would prefer if you-." she snapped, angrily, but broke off as the professor spoke. Although she glared at him behind Antonio's back.
Melanie took the handbook. She mumbled a "thanks." and began to flip through it. | |

It seemed the first year Slytherin was the only one happy for the distracting. Yes, lose more points for Hufflepuff. She thought, Lose more points, or perhaps, even better, lose allll your points! Let your second-rate house fallllll to its demise!
She coughed, glancing up at the professor with her hand in the air, again. "Does the Wizard economy have different exchange rates in other countries, too?"

That kid at the back of the room was getting right on Clifford's last nerve. It was hard enough concentrating on this stuff as it was, let alone with some little brat being a pest. GRRR!
If he'd been a Slytherin. Cor, Clifford would've given him a nice kick up the ...
Oooh. New handouts, huh?
"Fashion for women?" The look on the Prefect's face was clearly one of distaste. Ew.

Aggie flipped open the ladies' fashions handbook and started rummaging through it. "Bleck!" she said leaning over and showing Tobi the picture of the lady with the giant rhinestone bow on her hat. "You'd think they'd be less ostentatious won't you?"
She leaned into Tobi's personal bubble trying to see what he was looking at. "Which one are you rummaging through?" she asked him.

Nathaniel took the mens fashion handbook that was being handed out and began to read it. He stopped to look around the classroom and push his glasses up He liked to think that he had some fashion sense. Not that you could tell having to wear the dumb school uniform

Cadence knew what kind of a antics Jack was up to, but she didn't turn to tell him off, knowing that would probably only make things worse. She wished Saku was here so she could get him to calm down. She seemed to be the only one who could. Cadence and her friends and all the other Hufflepuffs had worked so hard to earn all those points, and he was about to lose a bunch of them.
Cadence started reading over the hand out, envious of the women in the pictures. I wish I was as pretty as these women. Cadence said in a whisper to no one in particular..

Miles raised his eyebrow at the two textbooks the Professor had given out. Fashion?! What a girly subject, even if there was a textbook for men. He was into Muggle fashion anyway, it was the only subject that Miles knew quite well, since he lived close by to a muggle town. AND, the wizarding clothes were oooold. | |

Melanie took the handbook. She mumbled a "thanks." and began to flip through it. Jack looked at Melanie "Hey! I'm not moronic OR an idiot, I just don't like maths!" Jack glared back at her.

Jake groaned as he skimmed through the book... boooooring.
He turned to the girl who snapped at Jack, and whole-heartedly agreed, but he didn't want to say anything.
Is this the girl from potions? Jake offered a small smile before looking down at the book. Ugghhh.

Noelle flipped through the book, 'How to Wear a Hat'....what kind of twit doesn't know how to wear a hat, she thought to herself and scanned that Chapter, 'How to Wear a Scarf'....oh dear, Muggles do not seem that intelligent considering they don't know how to wear hats. | |

As the Professor threatened the young Hufflepuff with taking points, Vanessa shot her head to look at Jack Moiser. Shaking her head at the youngster, she rolled her eyes. Would he ever learn.
After the Professor given out the hand books she looked through it, flipping straight to look a the dresses. "Oooh Pretty," She mumbled, more to herself than anyone.

Emiliano took the hand book the professor handed through the class. Clothes, fashion and accesories. He so wished to have Diana to help him with that class because she knew all about that little topic nowadays. He sighed and started to read. Though, his attention turned when he noticed to be listening to Karma's voice around the classroom. He waved at her then went back to his little studying time.

Terry nearly breathed out to himself in relief when the professor quickly started handing out another textbook. One that didn't include just women sprawled across the pages looking like sticks. He snicked though at one particular image of a woman and her hat, with a ginormous bow sitting precariously on top. WHEW. They called this fashion? | |

Then she saw the death glare that the Hufflepuff Prefect cast over to the boy. She smirked, then looked down at her paper.
For the first time, Karma noticed another body sitting next to her. Well hellooooooo sunshine. She grinned back at Maddox, nudged him in the side, and waited for the professor to return to speaking. Mads smiled when nudged him in the side, and glared at the hufflepuff boy that was about to lose them points. He would have to have a talk with him later...
He noticed the fashion book for men he was just handed and raised his left eyebrow. He showed it to Karma and whispered, "What in the world?"
