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.

Ahh, Muggle studies, a class that Em found to be incredibly easy since she mostly grew up in the muggle world. The class was usually incredibly entertaining due to the crazy ideas of all the kids that knew nothing of the muggle way of life. The young puff smiled as she entered the classroom. There was food! Grabbing a bag, she filled it with all the yummy chewy fruity candy, and grabbed a cherry coke. turning around, she looked for a place to sit, and grinned as she headed over and plopped down beside her friends. "Hey guys." she said turning her smile on Kurumi and Eino.

But, she was glad that it was a Professor she already knew who was taking over the class. And there was a reason why she liked Professor Cerulean!
LOOK AT ALL THAT CHOCOLATE!
Sure, Destiny had no idea what was on those tables, but she could read and it all said chocolate. Rushing into the room, and with a quick "Hello, Professor!", she made her way over to the table and wigged her fingers, trying to decide what she wanted.
Which was everything..

Groaning to herself, Mia rolled off the beanbag and hastened her way over to her friend. "Don't. Even. Think. About. It." She punctuated every single word so that the words came out clear for the Slytherin to understand.
It was like Merlin gave her this new gift to realize when Destiny came into close range with chocolate. It bugged her, like a buzz of a bee in the back of her mind. Right now, it was buzziiiiiiing like crazy.
Or it could've just been the way Destiny was wiggling her fingers like that, but it made Evelyn open her eyes and sighed. And of course, seeing Mia hastily make her way over to her chocolate obsessed friend had the seventh year Slytherin lazily rolling off of her bean bag chair and standing up. Her assistance may be required.
Maybe.
She'd just stand back and watch though. "Hey, someone should like...burn the chocolate right there..." Just for their information. It would make this problem disappear immediately.

He spotted Marilyn and Cassie and went over to them. "Mind if I join you ladies?" he asked.
Twisting the cap of the Gatorade, Marilyn took an experimental sip. It wasn't fizzy...Thank Merlin. It was actually quite tasty...Putting the cap back, she turned to her array of junkie food...
Hmm, what to snack on first...
Grabbing more M&M's, she was about to put some in her hand when a voice interrupted them. It startled her! M&M's went all over the floor around her seat and the blonde blushed in embarrassment. "Er, sure Carter..." Biting her lip, Marilyn cleaned the candies up with her wand, reaching for the Twix this time.
It was the History of Magic lesson...Her nerves were still shot!

Elise walked into the classroom, slowly...
What her grandfather would do to her if he knew she was taking Muggle Studies... She shuddered.
"G'morning, Professor!" she greeted.
Oooooooooh! Sweeeeeeeeeeeets! And those weird little colored bottles. YUM!
Picking up a purple bottle called Gatorade, some jelly beans and those little packets that read Skittles, she found a nice purple beanbag and plopped herself on it.
Opening her packet of Skittles, she popped a red one into her mouth and cringed at the sourness.
Best lesson EVER!
Elise could tell that she was going to loooooooooooove Muggle Studies. Yup!
Presley stepped into the classroom, and grinned. She loved muggle studies for a reason. Treats, and a subject she was semi-knowledgeable about. "Hello professor," She smiled brightly. Another plus of this class? No using magic. Normally that was a downside, but while Presley's wand arm was incapacitated, it at least meant she wouldn't fall behind. She walked over to the table, grabbing a mountain dew voltage. The blue kind. It seriously was Presley's favorite drink of all time. It even beat out her beloved apple juice. And everyone knew how much Presley loved apple juice. She didn't touch the chocolate treats on the table. She would already have to run off thie soda, she didn't want to add another thing to the list. Presley skipped over and sat down on a purple bean bag, and pulled out her books, ready to start. She popped open her soda, and took a small sip, grinning. Why didn't she bring a stash of this stuff to school every year?

What to pick? What to pick?
Destiny was having a really hard time deciding what to pick. It was like someone had put a box of puppies in front of her and told her to only pick one. It was just something she couldn't do! She wanted all the puppies! Well, in this case, she wanted all the chocolate. And maybe what was in those cans. She remembered those cans all too well. And how the stuff inside BURNED her when it exploded all over her.
But, like always, she was getting off track.
Her fingers continued to wiggle over all the CHOCOLATE, and just when she decided to take a few handfuls of those small, round candies, a voice from beside her almost made her jump. Mia. When did she become a chocolate hater? "Don't think about what?" Destiny needed specifics.
And just when she thought it couldn't get any worse than having Mia tell her not to take the chocolate, the queen of all chocolate hating made her way over. Evelyn. What was their problem? "I'll eat it all before someone has a chance to burn it."
Or she'd jump on it all, to protect it.

Lana walked into the classroom and noticed her professor. With a big grin she says. "Hello professor."
She suddenly realized the room decorations and raised an eyebrow. Lana wasn't used to colors and it just seemed strange to her. And where were the chairs?! Lana looked over at a white board. Muggle treats? Oh is that what that stuff was? Lana thought she should get some later.
Lana then scanned the room to see if anyone she knew was in class already. She took a seat next to a friend she met the first day of school. "Hey Zhenya," she smiled. "Do you mind?".
Sweet Merlin. Most comfy seats ever.
Desiree walked into her first muggle studies class, it was well, BRIGHT. There were so many colors, but it did look pretty cool. She smiled at the professor "Hello Professor!" She saw a table with food it looked like, she didn't recognize it.. muggle food maybe?
Desiree honestly didn't know anything about muggles I really hope I don't fail this class.. Grabbing something called a Dr. Pepper and some candy she looked at the seats. Seeing some familiar faces she walked happily over to them "Hey Lana, Zhenya." she greeted with a smile as she took a seat in a nice bean bag chair. Ahh now this was a comfy seat.
She hesistantly took a sip of the muggle drink. It was actually pretty good. It wasn't pumpkin juice, but it was nice.. very bubbly. "Did you guys try any of this muggle food? she asked looking at the two. "You can have some of my.." she paused looking at the label "Skittles if you want" she said holding out the bag to them.
I'm just one of those pretty little liars... | | I'm held down in this starless city...
Muggle Studies.
Uh-oh.
Well, Nora had nothing against this class; she even found it interesting and... curious. The only problem was that she didn't know a thing about muggles. Or... did she? Only if she'd happened to hear her parents talk about something. But STILL, she was pretty much clueless about muggles and their magic..less world.
"Hello, professor," she smiled as she entered the classroom. It looked very... comfortable. She made her way to a bean bag chair and almost let herself fall on it. Let's just hope that she won't fall asleep. Hehe.
It was like Merlin gave her this new gift to realize when Destiny came into close range with chocolate. It bugged her, like a buzz of a bee in the back of her mind. Right now, it was buzziiiiiiing like crazy.
Or it could've just been the way Destiny was wiggling her fingers like that, but it made Evelyn open her eyes and sighed.

Maybe.
She'd just stand back and watch though. "Hey, someone should like...burn the chocolate right there..." Just for their information. It would make this problem disappear immediately.
Oh thank Merlin!
Here came the back up. And what better back up to have then the Head Girl herself. Mia nodded her head at Evelyn and let out small relieved sigh...until the Slytherin spoke.
Wasn't she supposed to have had that problem fixed already?
The smile slipped from Mia's face and she gave Evelyn a reproachful look. "I don't think that person would be too popular with the rest of the class." And the Professor would probably issue a detention if someone lit a fire in her class.

Oh Destiny knew exactly what she meant. For some reason she just liked to have Mia spell everything out for her. "That chocolate is for the WHOLE class Destiny. Not just you." She was willing to give the girl her share which she hadn't taken yet.
"Remember when you stuffed your face full of chocolate when we were on safari. And remember how crazy you got?" Did she remember how she had dressed up like the tribespeople and almost got herself a tattoo before Mia stepped in and stopped the whole thing.
Not that her friend could get a tattoo in Muggle Studies but Mia was not going through that again.

Lana shook Zhenya back into reality, she hadn't been sleeping but she was so completely comfortable that she sort of just drifted from reality.
"Oh, Hi Lana, please sit. You should have some treats, they are very good. My mother used to bring them home a lot."

Soon after, their other friend Desiree walked in.
"Mm, skittles are delightful. They taste just like.. actually, they taste like sugary fruits. But they are very nice. Try some, Desiree, you must," Zhenya said. She loved skittles.

Hmm she'd never had skittles before, taking a few she tossed a handful into her mouth. "Mmm yum" she said tasting all the different fruity flavors "These are really good, they kind of remind me of that mystery candy.." she said with a laugh, remembering her candy that changed flavors and lit up. She glanced around the room at all the decorations.. eating a few more skittles she looked back at Zhenya "what do you think we're going to be doing..?" She was curious, I mean she'd been to some pretty crazy classes so far. like history of magic. that was insane.

Alyssa walked into the class and noticed that there were bottles of coke on the table. She grabbed a bottle. "Thank you, Professor Cerulean for the refreshments", Alyssa thanked the Professor before taking a seat on a yellow bean bag.
This is why Hugo didn't like Muggle Studies. They had to study... Muggle. Urgh. He walked in the classroom, then saw the table of treats. This is why Hugo LOVED Muggle Studies. Their food was sooooo good. A bright smile creeped on his face and he hopped over to the table with snacks. AH DOCTOR PEPPER. Hugo loved that soda. He would always buy it in London during the summer. He helped himself to some. And some snacks. He filled up his bag. Best. Professor. Ever. Didn't she teach HoM last year? Hugo returned to a dark blue bean bag and took a seat, nomming on his snacks.
India skipped into the Muggle Studies classroom, and smiled as soon as she saw all the treats. All of them - hard to come by in Australia...and much much loved by yours truly.
This was going to be SO much fun! She could just feel it. She walked up to the food and looked around mmmm...Chocolate, Red Vines, Soda - ugh she was in HEAVEN.
She grabbed a bright blue drink called Jones and smiled. She had this at home at her cousins Cafe all the time - perfect...it made her all giggly and happy and like a little kid at heart. Which she was. A smart one mind you. She grabbed a few snacks and put them in her bag so they wouldn't touch the ground and a second drink so she'd be all fine and not oh so thirsty later.
She walked over to a bright blue bean bag and promptly sat down. The bean bag making a slight hissing sound as she sat down.
"H-hello Professor! Thanks for the sweets" she smiled. Listening she could hear through the mix of music some older songs - one she loved imparticular by Fleetwood Mac. Ah the music of the muggle 1970's rocked...it was just perfect.

Muggle Studies...Stella couldn't say she knew much about it, and even what she knew might be different than what the other students at Hogwarts knew. France was different from England, after all, and she couldn't say she remembered a lot from way back when she was little. Plus, there was the fact that, while her family was semi-connected to Muggles, they'd lived in the Wizarding world way too much to really know a lot. She'd experienced some things on her outings with Risa into Paris and other places in France, both with their parents and on their own. It still didn't really make her feel confident about this lesson. More than Potions, but it was still nowhere near Charms and those classes.
Even so, she gave the professor a smile as she headed into the room. "Good day, Professor Cerulean." The classroom looked like a circus, which made her wonder if this was going to be a continuation of Transfiguration. There were treats, though, which was always good. And it didn't look like there was any clown costumes. Investigating the snacks table, she took a moment before selecting some M&Ms and a Coke. At least she knew chocolate. She'd rather there be some coffee though, but she'd make do. And then she headed for an empty beanbag and dropped into it, setting the can of soda next to her feet to wait for the lesson to start.

Lilly walked in to the classroom. She was sure she would find this class easy as Lilly, until she got her letter,thought she was a muggle! "Wow!" Lilly exlaimed. There was food! She picked up a can of coke and some gummy sweets and slumped on to one of one of the soft beanbags.

"Well, you know you're safe with Skittles, they won't, you know, turn you into a Dragon Snake," she said laughing. "But they are very tasty. I'm not too sure about what we will be studying in this classroom either."

Se then looked at the professor and said "Good morning professor, great candies." she said with a smile.

Muggle Studies; A class where Scott would actually learn something he didn't already know.
The professor was very nice, leaving a table of treats for all the students to go amok with.
He decided to pick up a caramello bar and a sprite, they tasted strange, but nice.
He almost forgot his manners "Good morning Professor" he smiled "Thank you for all the treats"
He sat down on a beanie bag next to Jez, "I could get used to this" he said with a grin.

Penny had almost forgotten to give Professor Cerulean her gift...
Reaching into her back, she retrieved the box and walked up to the top of the class, blushing slightly..
On reaching the Professors desk, Penny laid the box on it, looking at the Professor said "Good Morning Professor, I've brought these in for you Ma'am, someone said that you like chocolate chip cookies, I hope you like them", she finished with a smile and headed back to her own desk again..
"Good morning, Professor!!"
Janice went in the classroom and was astonished by the beanbags she usually sees at stores. She saw Penny sitting, and decided to ask her if she can sit besides her.

"It's great, isn't it?" smiled Jez. "All the stuff we've been missing out on!" She passed him a little sachet labelled Sour Powder. "Try this. It's delicious - better than the Sprite! These lessons are going to be amazing!" A frown creased her forehead. "My parents will freak." She shook herself, trying to get back into her original happy mood. "They've already sent me a Howler - nothing else they can do! Now, this Skittles business ... Oh Merlin's pants these are good!"

Aurora walked into the classroom and gravitated towards the table....
OHMYSALAZAR JELLY BABIES!!! She took a packet and a bottle of... crazy drinks... O___o Um... Sprite... that looked the safest, and sat on a dark green bean bag.
She opened the packet of Jelly Babies first. Wow... well they didn't look like babies...
She popped one into her mouth.
What?
No Strawberry syrup inside...
NO SCREAMING?!?!?! "What is the point of these things?" she said out loud, frowning into the packet.
