| | |  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. | |

This is going to be an interesting experience. If you were in the muggle world, how would you like to dress on a typical school day?" She raised her hand. "I would Chanel every single day and Prada or Mahnolo Blahniks." Paris loved fashion and this was a class she could talk about all day long to any and everyone who would listen. "Or I would wear Rock and Republic jeans with graphic tees with Dolce and Gabana sunglasses," She added.

He thought that was a simple question. "All schools suggest a uniform, usually the jumper and a pair of grey trousers, and a shirt of some sort, usually polo."

"Well," Varius began, "I think it very much depends on the season in which you are in. I think a nice pair of denim jeans, some sort of trendy t-shirt, I like purple and green colours myself, and some form of pull over jumper, preferably grey, would do nicely for the majority of the seasons. Oh and trainers... can't go wrong with some trainers... or some slip on shoes? Probably best in white."

Seriously. They were about to see the true wrath of this Hufflepuff Prefect.

Hmm that was a tough question.What would she want to wear from this lot?
At her old school she had worn a uniform too,it wouldn't be easy choosing.
"Possibly something like this girl is wearing.." Sarah said,pointing to the picture of the girl with a dark blue top and dark denim jeans. "It looks comfy,and I like to be comfy.Mostly I wear jeans,t-shirts or sweatshirts depending on the weather...oh and trainers (sneakers)...I live in those!" | |

Emiliano heard the professor. That would be easy for him. He always had to wear muggle clothes for his family meetings. He looked at the book and saw interesting pairs of pants as well as shirts. He doubted about shoes, yet he just thought about the sneakers he wore during his vacation times.
"Well...If I had the chance to not wear a uniform, I would certainly wear blue jeans with a stamped shirt. They always look nice on everyone, as my sister says...oh and black sneakers..." He quoted her, she was the little genius inside his home about that little fact about Muggle life.

Barry smilled this was going to be tricky. Well he started speaking "On a typical day at a muggle school. This is keeping in mind its a muggle school. They`re much more fashionable then us. I would probly have a faux-hawk hair style one simmilar to this" he said pointing to one of the hair styles ( hair style) "But I doubt my hair would allow it. Then I would put on a t-shirt if it was warm just a plain t-shirt. And below it I would wear jeans. Perhaps a bit baggy. But jeans none the less. I don`t think theres need for any more then that. No one needs to be too fasionable"

As a few of the students began saying what exactly they would wear, Vanessa rose her hand again, to say what she'd wear to school exactly. "I think...I would like to wear something that is like comfortable, fashionable yet practical to school. Like skinny Jeans, and maybe a dress t-shirt thingy, which looked cute," She added with a smile. That would look awesome.

She crumpled it up and tossed it at Jack, whispering his name under her breath so he would catch it before it hit him. She hoped desperately no one saw it. Quote:

Crap. No. no. no. no. no.
She had been trying to get him to be quite not get them both in trouble. That plan had backfired in her face. "Ok." she squeaked, staring back at him with wide eyes. This was Jack's fault so she had nothing to fear.... right? Something told her that was a no.

Tobi didn't want a repeat of the earlier incident in class so he merely squeezed Aggie's hand by way of saying, I'm not ignoring you, I just can't talk right now.
He put his other hand in the air to answer, "I spend my holidays in Muggle clothing, and I think I would want to go to school much the same way, I wear jeans, work boots, a plain t-shirt and a flannel 'lumber-jack' shirt over top. I wear a lot of green, I like it for some reason, and I have this brown leather shoulder bag, you know with a flap on it? I like that a lot. I think that's how I would go to a Muggle Class."

"Would wear something casual but also what resembles to a suit. Classic and modern" said Damian. "Suit pants and a shirt without tie. Or jeans with shirt and sneakers as shoes" finshed he.

So he can read minds. Haha he can hear me right now! Awesome.... Hi Jack. Oh wait, he can't say anything back. Oh well. Good he wasn't mad. She didn't really want to see that kid when he was truly mad. Melanie slowly turned back around to face the front of the class and listen to the answers they had to the professor's question. | |

Good. They were being just a tad more well-behaved, but they were totally getting spoken to later...
Pleased with himself, Dominic folded his arms on his desk as listened to the other student's fashions around him.
