| | |  Muggle Studies Lesson 1 - Self Defense
Antonio was busy getting the classroom ready for the students. He knew they would soon be filing in for the first lesson of the season, and wanted to make sure everything was in order. He set his desk up at the front of the room and set up a stack of books there. The books were labelled with the title "Self Defense".
"Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Hogwarts and the first Muggle Studies class. Please pick up a Self Defense textbook and have a seat. We're just going to wait for the class to fill up a bit, as usual, so make yourselves comfortable." He smiled. This was an important lesson he would be teaching today. It was similar to a class he had taught a few terms back on martial arts, yet different. He thought the class would find the lesson useful and informative. ooc: Look to this first post for updates and important information on where to find key posts within this thread for your future reference!

He sighed when Rayedem partnered up with someone else. He was hoping maybe they could work together. Shrugging he saw Fallon too was partnerless, so he walked up to her. Smiling, he asked "Wanna be partners?" Fallon looked up as Evan joined her. "Sure." She smiled at Evan. She then looked over at Lyra and saw how angry she was. She grinned evilly on the inside. "So who should be the victim first?"

"I'd be the robber, and you the victim?" he asked and smiled.

Just me pretending to be walking by myself, then you coming up and trying to rob me?" It was the simplest thing they could do. If Evan wanted to get more creative, she was sure that he would think of something.

If Evan wanted to get more creative, she was sure that he would think of something. Evan wanted to think of something else, but he was never that creative to step out of the box. While he was watching Lyra who seemed to be enjoying the class, he nodded, and backed off a few paces to be behind of her. This should be easy, taking a girl's bag even in the Muggle style.

Mina looked around the room for a partner, how she wished Alice was there. In theory, Mina understood what was going on but most things muggle were new to her and having her friend there with her would have put things at ease for her. Glancing around the room again, she hoped to see someone else that needed a partner as well. | |

Fallon nodded her head and proceeded to sling her bag over her shoulder. She looked at Evan to see if he was ready and then began to walk like she was walking down the street. This is going to be easy. she thought to herself. Then she remembered that she couldn't use violence or magic, and realized that would make it a little harder.

"Well, do you want to be the person getting robbed?" she asked. Because Laura really didn't get this. They had to act out a muggle getting robbed, and defending themselves, without any violence? It was beyond her. "And I'll be the robber?" she added, hesitantly.

He then sped up and walked nearby, looking down to hide his face. This was how movies showed an attack scene. He then silently pulled the bag fiercefully, trying to yank it free from Fallon's arm with both of his hands. He was the attacker and he could be voilent, right?

Suddenly, he was pulling at her bag with a lot of force. She grabbed it back and tried to think of something to do that was not violent. She had a feeling that what she was going to do would make her look kind of weird. She just decided to scream the usual, "Help!" which she saw happen a lot in muggle movies. She knew it wouldn't work, but it was the first thing that came to mind.

"Whenever you are," he called back, then he walked, just like how it was in the real life, only very slowly. He closed his eyes tight, preparing for the attack.

"I don't suppose you're muggle born?" Sara asked. If she was things might be a little easier... but no problems!
Sara said, "I think we're supposed to take turns trying to mug one another... like you try to steal my purse or I try to take yours..." This wasn't going very well... Sara wasn't the best at explaining situations... and she was muggle born!

"What exactly should I do first?"

Sara said, with a smile.
"So, do you want to be the thief or the victim," Sara asked Mina.

It'd save her in outer world, but he doubted anyone would care here, as they were all in need of help.
He grabbed Fallon's fingers one by one, now more softly, to have them off the bag while he kept throwing to sides. If this wouldn't work too, he had no other idea and would give up.

He grabbed Fallon's fingers one by one, now more softly, to have them off the bag while he kept throwing to sides. If this wouldn't work too, he had no other idea and would give up. Fallon clung to her bag tighter as Evan pulled harder. This is a lot harder then I thought it would be. she thought silentally to herself, still panicking a bit. He started to shake it harder and she knew shouting again wouldn't help.
As he grabbed her hand, she tried to keep her guard up because him holding her hand was enough to make her melt. She tightened her grip on the bag and turned around so her back was to him now. She pulled her bag in front of her and held it to her chest. She hoped that this would work.
