| | |  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. | |

Rachel raised her hands and said clearly, "Professor, we have three types of coins in the wizarding world and they are known as Galleons, Sickles and Knuts respectively in order of value, Galleons being worth most."

Her hand shot up, "There are 29 knuts in 1 sickle and 17 sickles in 1 galleon." Matilda said, the currency shining before her mind's eye. She loved the class already.

He yanked the cookie out of his best friend's hand and shoved it half in his mouth. Aggie quickly took her seat as the professor started the lesson. She dropped her bookbag by her feet and then slid in next to Tobi. "Shhh," she reached over and shoved the rest of the cookie into his mouth. "Grandda' made me take it," she said in a whisper. "So you better help me pass it."
The fact that one of the more attractive (and humble) professors was teaching the class had nothing to do with - and even if it did Tobi didn't need to know that. Quote:

Feel free to give it a try, as well, students, you will find it most interesting." However, they weren't more then 5 minutes into the course when Aggie was confused. She leaned over, her head bumping Tobi's tall shoulder. "What's bubblegum?" she whispered. As she asked, she completely missed the Professor's question.

The fact that one of the more attractive (and humble) professors was teaching the class had nothing to do with - and even if it did Tobi didn't need to know that. Muggle Studies was easily Tobi's best subject, but he wasn't much of a student, much less tutor, and while he liked spending time with Aggie, he didn't much like the thought of having to teach her things she missed. He dearly hoped she applied herself to this class. Quote:

Tobi whispered.

Nathaniel saw two Gryffie kids talking and hoped they'd shut up before we lost anymore house points. Which is NOT what they needed. He sighed to himself and looked back at the Professor

"Galleons, knuts and sickles," Antonio said with satisfaction. "Yes, I think most of you are familiar with those." He smiled.
"Now, I don't know exactly how much time we want to spend on wizarding money today, since what I want you all to do has more to do with converting that money into other types of money, money which is used in the muggle world. Can anyone tell me what the most common types of currency are in the United Kingdom, the United States and Japan? They all three use something different, that will give you a hint, and I'm looking for the most commonly recognized currency form for each country."

Karma merely blinked at all of the students who answered at once. Well, that was an easy question. She would wait for something a bit more, challenging, to say the least.
"The United Kingdom uses euros, and I believe they also used to use pounds. United States simply uses dollars and various coins as well. Japan uses the Yen."
