| | |  Muggle Studies Lesson #1-Muggle Games
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As you enter the Muggle Studies classroom, you are instantly reminded, or introduced, to the fact that Professor Cerulean always tries to transform her class to match the lesson of the day.
The room is covered in large multicolored Muggle bean bags scattered all over the floor. These bean bags have been charmed with extra cushioning charm to make them even more comfortable. Beside each bean bag is a little lap desk for you to place in your lap and use for notes during the class. The floor feels extra cushiony as well although it seems to be the normal tile floor of all of the classrooms.
The walls and ceiling are draped with different bright colors of drapes. It's a little overwhelming but enchanting at the same time.
In the corner, there is a table of refreshments (something the Professor always tries to have at her lessons.). But this time the table is full of Muggle treats. There is a bowl of ice filled with various Muggle sodas from Cokes to Cherry Cokes to Dr. Peppers to Sprite, etc. Beside that bowl is another iced bowl full of bottles of various colored and flavored drinks labeled Gatorade. There are two other bowls on the table: one is full of mini Muggle chocolate candies from Snickers to Twix to Milky Way bars to M&Ms, etc.; the other is full of more chewy flavors of Muggle candy such as Skittles, Dots, Jelly Beans, Twizzlers, etc. There are small bags at the end of the table for you to fill up with these goodies if you would like. Each of the four bowls is enchanted to automatically refill itself when it starts becoming low.
Various forms of Muggle music can be heard playing softly in the background. Anything from rock to pop to calm rap to R&B to Country can be heard in the mix.
There is a small raised platform at the front of the Muggle Studies classroom where a strange white board that looks like a chalkboard stands. It is known as a dry erase board and is a very Muggle inventions. Written on it in various colors of markers is a message from the Professor.
Quote: Welcome to our first Muggle Studies Lesson!!!
Please come in and have a seat on one of the Bean Bags! Also don't forget to grab a few Muggle treats from the table of goodies!

Raven thought about the place. The Lake? Zhenya and her were very often be there. Giant Treehouse? eng... "How about at the courtyard?" asked her.

Okay so Jonathan took a random board game that he knows nothing about. This should be really interesting since he barely knows the rules of this game. "Scrabble" he whispered. What is a scrabble anyway? He did ask himself for the fifth time already and he still is confused about this muggle game. It does look fun though. Random words in small cube like pieces.
Wait! Does this game require reading something? Because if it is then Jonathan is not the best book lover at all. Sigh. Still, he does want to try what this game is all about.
After awhile, the professor explained the homework. WHOAH! Shortest discussion ever. It's the shortest one they have since Lafay's potions class last term. Jonathan still remembered that time when the potions storeroom was empty, Lafay decided to just give a short lecture.
Jonathan started to pack his stuffs and of course he brought the board game with him. He still wants to play this game. Looking at the professor but still glancing over the board game "Good bye Professor" he smiled at her.
So now... how does he play this game?

Jory packed up his stuff, took the board game and headed for the door. "Bye, Professor,'' he called.

Amethyst smiled softly and began to pack up her things. After doing so, she trotted over to the professor. She cleared her throat, and spoke softly. "E-excuse me, Professor Cerulean..? Would you like some help with anything?" She was eager to help, a smile on her face.

They were to select a game...
...and play it in way of homework.
That was the most amazing thing Marilyn had ever heard.
Walking up, she thought long and hard about what game to play...Candy Land, maybe...Clue? Monopoly?
Monopoly it would be.
Taking the game, she moved back to her seat. Packing up her things, she smiled at the Professor. Muggle Studies really wasn't too bad. It was better than most, anyway. "Thanks, Professor. Great class..."
And they got to eat in here. Definitely not the worst...

Minerva hurried back into the classroom. "Umm professor could I change my game. I don't think I will be able to find 2 others to play Apples to Apples with me. Could I have guess who instead?" | |

Ira went back to muggle studies class and asked the professor, "Umm, Can I too change my game? I want to play apples to apples instead of scrabble, and I have already found a group. So please can I get a new game?"

So it was the end of the lessons.The homework that the professor had given would not be difficult for her. Tiffany smiled as she was leaving the classroom with her monopoly in her hand. She turned to the Professor and said,"Bye professor! I have had a great time during your lessons."she smiled and continued,"If you like some help, I could help you with that."She waited for the professor's response.

Cora thought about who she could play with. She didn't know that many students at Hogwarts yet, and was nervous she wouldn't be able to find someone to help with her homework.
After a moments hesitation, she worked up the courage, and ran after another first year who had just begun to leave the class.
On her way to the door, Cora spilled her books on the floor. As she picked them up, she saw the girl. "Um, hi. I-I'm Cora." She said shyly. "Would you like to play with me for homework." Cora's whisper was hopefully loud enough to be heard by the hufflepuff. | |
