| | |  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. | |

Lasca did the calculations one the second calculator. Rasing her hand she answered the Professor. "$100 U.S. dollars is equal to: 69.77 pounds, 75.36 Euros, 120.88 Canadian Dollars, 149.08 in Australian currency, and 8976.5 Yen."

Even though Evangeline had no idea of how much a US dollar actually was worth, she felt like she was getting the hang of it and grabbed the other calculator when Professor Dumont told them what to do, and scribbled the values down on her parchment.
Then she raised her hand and read what she had written: "$100.00 US dollars are: 75.54 euros, 69.89 pounds, 120.87 Canadian dollars, 149.38 Australian dollars and 8979.5 Japanese yens." | |

"Oooh," Cela realised, raising her hand, "It's changing!" She did her calculations again and they came up different, "Why doesn't it stay the same, Professor?"

Furiously stabbing at the buttons on his calculator, Terry worked through the sums, trying to remember the various currencies they'd been asked to do.
He scribbled several answers down simultaneously.
'Sir, 100 US dollars is equivalent to 69.73 British pounds, 75.4 Euro-dollars, 121 Canadian dollars, 149 Australian dollars and 9003 Yen.' | |

Rachel frowned at the talking Gryffindors disapprovingly, but she was happy on the inside. Yes, it's mean but the less points for them, the more for us! Looking down at her notes she began calculating the sums and once she was finished said, "100 US dollars are the equivalent of 75.61 Euro dollars, 69.93 British pounds, 120.9 Canadian dollars, 149.41 Australian dollars and 8987 Japanese yen."

Getting the other calculator Vanessa made a start of the calculations. She then raised her hand. "For the English pound it is, 64 pounds and 75 pence. For the Euro-dollar is it 75 dollars 45 cent. For the Canadian Dollar is it 121 Dollars and 8 Cent. For the Australian Dollar it is 148 Dollars and 81 Cent and for the Japanese Yen it is 9000 yens."

"Thank you all very much." Tobi snarled. He added to his list of goals, I will not kill any of my housemates!
He did the conversions as fast as he could, but the amount of numbers got him confused a little. He hoped he didn't have the numbers connected to the wrong currency.
He raised his hand, "For 100$ US needed to equal that in other currencies are: the pound: 69.81, the Euro: 75.49, the Canadian Dollar: 120.97, te Australian Dollar, 149.16, and the Yen: 8972."

Miranda used the handout and calculator and scribbled on her parchment. Raising her hand, she said, "Professor, $100 US Dollars would be...75.36 Euros, 120.95 in Cananda, 149.02 in Australia, 69.75 here in England, and 8977.5 in Japan." She blinked at the large number for yen. Was that right?

Miles' fingers pressed the numerous buttons on the calculator with his tongue sticking out slightly in concentration.
"Sir, $100 is £69.78, in Euros it is €79.51, in Canadian dollars, it is C$ 120.89. In the Austrailian dollar, it is $148.86, and Japenese Yen, ¥9002." | |

Jake used the other thing he'd been given at the start and raised his hand. "Sir, $100 is equal to... £69.77 in the English pound, 75.42 in the Euro-dollar, 120.92 in the Canadian dollar, 149.19 in the Australian dollar and 8983 in Japanese yen."

As the students read aloud their answers, Karma was very confused. Frowning, she raised her hand.
"Professor, why are we all getting different answers? No one, so far, has the same ones."

Rachel blinked as she heard different answers coming from different people. Frowning, she keyed in the sum and to her amazement saw that it was indeed, just like Cela had asked, changing. She was confused for a few seconds then realised why it was changing and her face broke into a smile. The stock market is constantly changing... She wondered if wizards also had their own version of the muggle stock market.

Jake listened to the others and raised his hand. "Sir, it is changing. Is it because of the ever-changing exchange rate?"

"Now, I think we are done with that calculator for right now, there will be more exercises on the homework. Since we have to move on, I would like you to take the other calculator Currency Converter - Yahoo! Finance (this one) and do the following conversions for me. Again, we are going to use $100 in U.S. money. I would like you to figure out the values in the English pound, the Euro-dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar and the Japanese yen. I will give points to all students who do the work correctly." Melanie simply could'nt see how these people were getting it so fast. For her it felt like eternity. As she got the answers she scribbled them down on a spare piece of parchment.
In Pounds 69.73
In Euros 75.35
In Canadian dollars 120.94
In Australian dollars $ 148.97
In Yen 8984.
Then she raised her hand, and said the answers. Whew that was hard! She wiped the sweat off her forehead. Stupid math. Melanie found herself hoping they'd move onto something else soon. Not that this wasn't interesting and all. She squirmed impatiently in her seat. Why did no one have the same answer?! | |

Cadence raised her hand as she realized that very few of the students had calculated the same answers as her. "Professor, do the calculations keep changing slightly because of fluctuations in the Global Economy? I had to take Economics at my Muggle school, and we learned that money equivalencies constantly change."

"£100 US Dollars is 69.74 Pounds...75.46 Euros...148.65 Aus Dollars...120.95 Canadian dollars and 9002.5 Yen." Sarah answered.
Hmmm she had something different to the others.

As Emiliano listened to the whole class he became a little confused. Sure he had used all that money once in his life, but conversions was not his forte. He did his calculations and raised his hand to answer to Professor Dumont. "One hundred U.S. Dollars equal to 69.80 British Pounds, 75.46 Euro Dollars, 121.15 Canadian Dollars, 148.99 Australian Dollars and 9023 Japanese Yens...." He carefully said, trying not to trip while he spoke.

"Let me see. I got 121.37 Canadian, 75.92 Euro, 69.98 British pound, 149.12 Australian dollar and 9057.5 yen," Antonio said. "Can any of you explain the reason why the amounts keep changing? There is a reason for it, and it's a very interesting one. In fact, I believe some of you may have already figured it out. Jake, you were asking about the ever-changing exchange rate. This is the exact reason why the calculations keep changing, but they should be steady enough that they will be correct within a few degrees. Interesting, though, isn't it?"

Cadence nodded at the professor's rhetorical question, she had already given her answer for why the values kept changing.

Varius raised his hand once more to offer his calculations (since the calculator seemed to be giving out a mixture), " I have 75.37 euros, 69.74 british pounds, 121.03 canadian dollars, 149.12 australian dollars and 8979 yen to 100 american dollars."
