| | |  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. | |

"Mind my curiousity...but your accent...is familiar...are you Bulgarian by any chance?" He asked, standing up and putting all his books and parchment into the backpack.

Chris then chuckled he noticed he was now talking more and more in his accent, which since his first year at Hogwarts he had been trying to hid. " Umm yeah I am." He said and nodded, as he put his hand into his pockets.

He said and nodded, as he put his hand into his pockets. Emiliano smiled and just shook his head in sign of how things were so different around at that moment. "I noticed your accent because I was in Durmstrang for five years...and I think I know you from some place, too..." He said, using that Mexican Spanish accent coming out of nowhere.

" Yeah probably filled with people who have the same accent." Chris said and chuckled. " Know me from somewhere? I guess you could." He said and shrugged.

Helena looked over and was surprised to see Emiliano talking to a boy a year ahead of her whom she thought had the name of Chris. Having been in the process of running a pale hand through her curly brown hair, she quickly extracted it and smiled over at both of them.

Fashion? Random much professor? She took one of the books he was passing out to the class and opened it. Ugh. What were they thinking? Quote:

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?" Karma leaned over to look at the book he was talking about. She shivered. "What were they thinking?" she whispered back. "And now, look who we have here."
She nodded towards the entrance of Nearly Headless Nick, and copied down the homework the professor assigned. She gathered her things and put them in her bag before she started to stand up. "Alright. Who wants to meet in the library and work on this with me?"

Emiliano nodded and shrugged at Chris's comment. "I have a very bad memory most of the time, but your face seems familiar...were you at Durmstrang for some time?" He suddenly asked. Too much curiousity, he knew. But there was something about Chris that made Emiliano think about his childhood there. Quote:

Emiliano noticed Helena and waved back at her as he slowly walked out of the classroom.
That's when he heard Karma talking again. Quote:

"Alright. Who wants to meet in the library and work on this with me?" "Karma...I think I'll join...I still have doubts over my own fashion..." He told her, chuckling.

Standing up and gathering her notebook (now filled with two pages of notes), quill, and ink in her bag, Helena gave the emptying room a last sweeping glance of her brilliant blue eyes before heading toward the door. She give Chris a final smile before continuing out of the room. Chris was really nice.

Chris watched as a girl smiled to him. He gave her a half smile back. He was so confused right now. But then again when wasn't he confused?

Chris watched as a girl smiled to him. He gave her a half smile back. He was so confused right now. But then again when wasn't he confused? Helena reentered the room a few minutes later, shaking her head slightly, her bright blue eyes only half open. Walking back to her seat in the rear of the room, she knelt down and began looking on the floor - well feeling around with her hand mostly, the light was so dim. Where in the world was that stupid charm? It had been hanging off of her bag when she entered, but now the two small, interlinked silver circles were absent from their place on the shoulder strap of her school bag. She sighed again, looking up and around the room. Chris was still there. How embarrassing. Helena resumed her searching.

"My bad...though, I know I've seen you somewhere else than in Hogwarts or Diagon Alley, really..." He pointed out and started to walk out of the classroom.
"Good class, Professor Dumont..." He said to him as he was almost stepping outside the door.
"It's been nice meeting you, Kaplan..." He told Chris and chuckled.

Then he heard Emiliano call him Kaplan. He hadn't been call that since Melinda. " See you around." He manged to tell him. Quote:

Chris saw that girl come back in looking for something. He saw something silver on the floor. He picked it up" This what you looking for?" He asked her, then handed it to her.

She stood up, stowing it safely in a pocket on her bag, before smiling at him once more. You're Chris, right? Helena's blue eyes sparkled with her mood.

" Umm yeah I am Chris. But umm let's head out to the corridor to talk." He told her.
" Great class Proffessor" He said and walked toward the door but looked back to see if the girl followed him.
occ: First floor corridor?

Helena nodded, smiling as he said goodbye to the teacher. Yes, of course. She smiled and followed him out of the classroom.
ooc: sounds good.

"This will be a fun assignment." Zane said. He had cousins that were half-bloods, so he knew a good bit about Muggles. He loved his cousins and loved going to visit them so this should be fairly easy.
