The History of Magic Classroom has once again taken on a new look since the last lesson! The HOM and Muggle Studies Professors have joined together to create a full theatre stage at the front of the classroom. The chairs in the audience all have fold out desks for the students to use.
SPOILER!!: Theatre
On the stage, there is the usual HOM charmed chalkboard that Professor Cerulean uses at every lesson. There is a spot light shining on the chalkboard. Scattered around the stage are objects and tables covered with white and black table cloths to keep their secrets hidden. Each hidden object is spotlighted with a different color spotlight. These hidden objects are of different shapes and sizes across the stage.
Please feel free to sit wherever you would like. As you come in, please grab a drink and a magic themed (top hat, rabbit, star shaped) cookie from the table as you enter the theatre/classroom.
Professor Cerelean has written a message on the board that is enchanted to scribble out in a curly but readable handwriting and stay for a few minutes and then erase and start again:
Quote:
Abracadabra...Alacazam!!!!
Welcome to a Night of Magic!!!!
Please have a seat and grab a cookie and drink as you enter!
Professor Cerulean is no where to be found, but remember she is watching.
OOC:
Please come in and have a seat. You may chat but keep it to a minimum. Remember that when class starts, you need to cut out chatting. Also don't post yourself coming in late, Gemma hates late arrivals and will not give you a warning, she will deduct points from the first time you are late.
I'm going to give you a few hours to get settled so I'll see you a in a little while!!! *huggles you all*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*Lesson Quick Links*~ (Will be updated as we go so you can find the Professor's links quickly and easily)
Please feel free to catch up at any time during the lesson. I don't mind if you post with answers to all of the missed questions at once or if you just wanna jump in where we are at and catch up later or just jump in where we are at. Whatever you want to do is fine with me....JUST don't post yourself coming in late to class that's a NO NO!
A ship in harbor is safe — but that is not what ships are built for.
Savannah made her way slowly into the classroom. Well, well, another lesson. Which means more work and more homework, and more things to remember and learn. Should that be a positive thing or a negative thing? Savvy thinks if as both. She love learning new things, well, new interesting things. She wouldn't like ot learn about...flobberworms and those other boring stuff.
She found an empty seat in less than a second and made her way there and sat down, pulling her textbooks, parchments, and quills out. This is one of the classes who need to use those for sure.

Sierra had just gotten good and settled in her seat when she heard someone call her name. Oh, look. It was that Walter kid, or something like that, from Gryffindor. She blinked. "Someone's been talking about...my birthday?" she asked. She gave him a suspicious look. She didn't realize anyone knew her birthday. Well, except, ...maybe Alex had told a few people. After all they were twins, so it was possible.
...but yeah, she'd turned the big 1-3. Thirteen. A teenager. Finally. "Oh, yeah. Thanks," she said. "Ready for class? No. I'm ready for classes to be over for the day, really." She was never ready for class.
The lights flip off all at once and two spot lights start shooting around the theatre from the seats to the stage. Then all goes dark again. With a flash of light and a small explosion, Professor Cerulean appears on the stage and is illuminated by a spot light. To her left there is another spot light but no one stands there.
SPOILER!!: Professor Cerulean's Outfit minus the Hat (UGLY) plus a long black cape
With a flick of her arms, the black cape lands behind her shoulders and trails behind her. She glances to her left at the empty spotlight and then out at the crowd with a smile and instantly all of the different colored spotlights illuminate the different stations on the stage.
Professor Cerulean flicks her right hand and two solid gold rings about a foot in diameter appear in each hand. She clinks the two rings together to show that they are solid. Then she holds them over her head and twists them slightly against each other and magically one of the rings is now hooked inside of the others. She holds a ring in each corner trying to get them apart to show her simple magic trick.
With a smile, she starts the lesson,
"Welcome to A Night of Magic hosted by History of Magic and Muggle Studies. It seems that Professor Zookura is missing" she pauses glancing over at the empty spotlight. "But the show must go on!" she says with a friendly wink out at the crowd as she drops one of the rings from her left hand to let the rings dangle connected.
"As you can probably guess, we are going to be learning about Muggle Magic tonite..." she flicks her right hand and the rings disappear. "So let's start tonite's lesson with a question...please remember to raise your hand especially since we are in such a large room..." she says spreading her arms out in front of her motioning at the size of the room.
"Can anyone tell me what the difference between wizard magic and muggle magic is?" she asks glancing out at the crowd.
OOC: Alright class has officially started so that means all chatting needs to end. I'll give you a little while to give your answers. Please try to be as nice and creative as you would like. Try to only give one answer and not to repeat answers already given. Also remember to raise your hand before you answer.
And...don't post yourself coming in late because Gemma hates that!!!
Have fun but remember Gemma is watching so make sure you are on task!
Well that certainly explained the set up quite a bit. It was absolutely amazing. And now the first question was ked she raised her hand and responded, "Well muggle magic is more slight of hand or tricks of the eye. Basically muggle magic is just tricks. Wizard magic is real, what you see is what it truly is.", Chloe responded with her hand raised high.
Dallin settled into his seat as Professor Cerulean came on stage. At her question he raised his hand. "Muggle magic is just tricks. That's why they're called magic tricks." His voice was quite loud, because he wanted to make sure he was heard. "Wizards use actual magic."
Like a Domino ♥ Karma Kimalia ♥ ♥ Taco Bell ♥ Sorry for party rocking
Kimalia was a little stunned to see the appearance of the Professor. She was saddened to note that the handsome muggle studies professor wasn't around anymore, but that vanished as soon as she heard the first question, raising her hand. "Well, muggle magic isn't necessarily real magic for obvious reasons, they mainly rely on trickery and science. Such as removing a table cloth from a table full of dishes without breaking any or pulling a rabbit out of a hat." That's the first part. "Wizard magic deals more into the unknown, like allowing a dish to wash itself in mid air, or all those secret enchantments like silencing a room."
Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna
Simon been sitting back in one of the seats in the larger then normal classroom....rather the auditoreum in which they found themselves in. Finally when the lights went off, his attention was up at the grount once more, figuring it was the signla for the lesson to begin, Professor Cerulean's appearance on stage confirmation of that.
He raised his hand as requested at the question before speaking to answer. "The difference is muggle magic is illusion and tricks of the eye and mind to make people believe soemthing to happen while wizard magic is the actual accomplishment of said feats."The boy trying to hide the disappointment at the other professor's absence that he had previously noticed at other times.

Nika fidgeted around in her seat at the very front as she looked aroundfor her professor. Where could she have been!? She just shrugged it off and nibled on a cookie as she waited for class to begin. Then as if her professor had read her thoughts she appeared and Nika couldn't help, but get up and give her a standing ovation. Then she quickly sat down to raise her hand for the question. "Well we muggles... I mean the muggles have magicians to entertain them while wizards use it for everyday living.

Sierra watched, unamused, as some sort of show started on the stage. While normal thirteen-year-olds would be bouncing up and down and out of their seats over shows like this one, Sierra just sat there and stared. First off, she was no normal thirteen-year-old. Secondly, as a pureblood witch, she was highly unamused at the tricks being displayed on the stage.
In the darkness of the theater, she rolled her eyes. Zookara was missing. No surprise there. Sierra hadn't seen the man since...what? November or so? Maybe longer. Who knew. At least it was question and answer time, though, which she was, surprisingly, more interested in than the tricks being shown onstage. She raised her hand. "Muggle magic is just a bunch of tricks. There's a secret behind it, and you just have to know the secret in order to do the trick," she said. Like that ring trick you just did. "Our magic isn't just a trick, though. It's real and has real effects."
The lights flip off all at once and two spot lights start shooting around the theatre from the seats to the stage. Then all goes dark again. With a flash of light and a small explosion, Professor Cerulean appears on the stage and is illuminated by a spot light. To her left there is another spot light but no one stands there.

Seeing Professor Cerulean's explosive entrance made her jump, but then she chuckled. Elektra sat back finishing her top hat cookie and her eyes lit up. Muggle magic! Oh, Elektra knew about that so well...well...she watched a lot of magic shows on TV with her cousin AJ. As Professor Cerulean asked what the difference was between wizard and muggle magic Elektra raised her hand hesitantly as she was still trying to think of how to answer and then said, "Well with muggle magic it's all an illusion. Wizard magic is the real deal...or something like that."
BUMMER... what a downer this was!? She was HOPING that they could get on stage and do something like ACT or DANCE or something. SIGHS FOR LIFE.
Raising her hand with a slightly crestfallen look on her face she grumpily answered, "Muggle magic isn't magic at all... it's slight of hand and such. An illusion. Our magic is REAL. We are born with magical blood that allows us to cast the magic out of us in the form of spells and et cetera. Muggles are simply mundane people attempting to portray what we do naturally... and quite poorly, might I add."
Yeah the thing with the rings just then? LAME. SO LAME.
William is hurt by Emma;s ignorance of him befire the professor started class. How could Rex even lik her, let alone be her" Fake" brother. " Willaim smiled at Sierra for thanking him.
" Well, most of the tricks by Muggle Magicians are excactly that, tricks but in the Wizarding World, it is true magic " William told the professor.
She was dozing in her seat when the class started and she awoke with a jerk. "What," she slurred as she pulled herself into conciseness. Maddox smiled as she took in the attire the professor was wearing. "Well that is festive," she smiled.
She was barely listening to the lesson, but she did catch the tail end of the question and she raised her hand to answer, "Well muggles use slight of hand and illusions as their magic. Though some of them are really elaborate. Anyone can be a magician. I saw that David Copperfield once he was really good." she commented. "Wizard magic is ancient magic. We can conjure the winds, manipulate time, cheat death. Its our essence. Its a part of us." she said sitting down.

Caroline who actually was starting to nod off to sleep, jumping slightly and her head shot up when the lights went off. Darn big comfy chair making her all sleepy and stuff. What? was the professor wearing a marching band uniform? That's what it looked like to her. Its was going to be a talent show. Okay alright where was a piano she was ready to play.
A tiny bit of her happeness died when the professor started tapping two gold rings together. Muggle magic tricks. Pff she could do better things then that. She raised her hand rather quickly. "Muggle magic isn't real. There's always some trick behind what they do. Ours on the other hand is REAL."

Kurumi's attention was completely off Professor Cerulean and on the empty spotlight. How could this be a combined class without Professor Zookara? Then again, History of Magic had seemed to be overlapping with Muggle Studies this term, what with their conversation about pirates and how non-magical people could have created pirate legends out of real wizards. Frowning noticeably, Kurumi slouched in her seat a bit.
Another term where professors go missing…she really didn’t like the sound of this at all – especially since Professor Cerulean didn’t seem to concerned that her colleague was missing.
“Non-magical people’s magic is well, just that. The element of magic as we know it, we being witches and wizards, isn’t used but rather it is an illusion that creates the appearance of doing supernatural things by a slight of hand or some other trick. Many non-magical magicians will use mirrors or trick boxes to accomplish this.” Kurumi wasn’t sure she really liked people labeling one as more real than the other. To non-magical people, their form of magic was just as real as theirs was in the wizarding world. “Most of their forms of magic do not use wands to help create the illusion of performing amazing feats, but they instead use their hands and cover things with blankets. We know that wandless magic is very difficult and very few witches and wizards are able to perform this. So, our form of magic usually requires the use of a wand and some sort of incantation.”

It was offficial, Professor Cerulean was weird. But that's okay because weird people are a heck of a lot cooler then boring people. No one likes a boring person...except maybe another boring person.
Isobel was glad the class started off with a fairly easy question, one she could answer at least. Isobel promptly raised her hand. "Muggle magic isn't real," she said. "Muggles have magicians who do magic tricks. Emphasis on the tricks, it's not actual magic. They just make it look real. Or sometimes they have something hidden that helps them. Anyway, it's not real, but our magic is." Isobel looked at Professor Cerulean for a moment. "I like your outfit Professor," she said; it was pretty.
Alfie was just about to answer Emma's question when class actually began, Professor Cerulean appearing, dressed in the most glorious of costumes. The girl's face lit up with amusement, watching as the Professor showed off a simple muggle magic trick, something she'd seen a few times on muggle television in her own home. She listened, interested, as the woman then asked what the difference was between muggle magic and wizard magic. The girl remained quiet for a moment, listening as other students began to voice their opinions, and soon enough she raised her own hand. "Another difference between the two comes from the purpose behind them," the girl explained, raising her voice just slightly to be heard in the large room. "With muggles, magic is used as a form of entertainment, nothing more. With wizards, we use magic for everyday uses; it has a more practical use to us and we apply it to a wider range of things."

...
Yup, she should've stayed in bed.
Glancing around as people answered, Evelyn sighed before raising her own hand. She knew what the REAL difference was. "Muggles look stupid while doing their fake tricks, while we're totally awesome with ours." Putting down her hand, the Slytherin was quite smug with her answer.

Hmmm there was no professor Zookara?
But anyway. Wizard magic and muggle magic? "Muggle magic is just... tricks and maybe optical illusions. Nothing real," Helena said with her hand in the air. The wizard magic was the real one. Hehe.
The only type of muggle magic Eino knew was that thing they called Teh-Kee-Nu-Low-Gee, but even that he didn't know very much about. He raised his hand. "Muggle magic is very loud and it produces smoke." Of course, Eino was thinking of the ever so frightening muggle transportation vehicles, especially those Eir-Plumes. "They also don't use a wand." He added. At least, he had never seen a muggle use a wand before. They usually used keys to active the magic teh-kee-nu-low-gee. "Muggle magic is very complicated and there's always an explanation for it, while our magic is just magic..." After that he lowered his hand and wrote down other studebts' answers.
Was it a good thing Ellie's hands were too busy with cookies to draw her wand? For the Professor, probably, because as soon as the lights went out, the girl wanted to unholster and light it. Fortunately, it didn't take too long to realize the lights were meant to go out.
She watched, for the most part unimpressed, as Cerulean appeared and did...something odd with rings, dressed most ridiculously. The girl was mainly content she had food. Upon walking in, she wasn't sure what to expect as food, which had become such a staple in Ellie's History of Magic career, was missing last class. But, no, she had it now, and she was content.
Pfffft. What a simple question. "One's real, one's not." Obviously. It wasn't like muggles could do real magic. That was why they were called 'muggles' and not 'witches' or 'wizards'. Pffft.

Difference between Wizard magic and Muggle Magic, Raven thought
Raven raised his hand. "I think muggle magic is just a trick, not real magic, we can tell it fake, by our magic, we produce real one, they use equipment and props to cover their tricks, while we use only a wand in open" Raven long opinion, muggle can't do magic they're pretending
Aaron grew up in a muggle neighborhood, so he had seen plenty of magic shows. But after a triwizard tournament... Hogwarts flooded... and 7 years of Quidditch... Muggle magic doesn't really compete.
Except card tricks. I don't know how the HECK they do that!!!!!
Aaron raised his hand, "Well, professor,"In the goofy outfit,"Muggles.... are muggles... They can't do our 'magic.' So their "magic" is deception and sleight of hand."
At the back of the class, Aiden is still munching the cookies. She tried to finish it as soon as possible. "Muggle's so-called-magic does not need magical abilities to make them happen. Those muggle "magicians" use illusions to trick their spectators," cunning indeed, those muggles are. Perhaps they might make good Slytherins too. If they happen to be muggle-borns. "As for wizard magic, well," slackingly holding her wand, she mutters an incantation. "Orchideous," a bouquet of flowers is conjured from Aiden's wand as she continues to talk. "Our magic have actual powers to make things happen unnaturally."
