~* Entrance *~
As you approach the Muggle Studies classroom, you notice that the door is closed, which is different than usual. When you reach for the door handle, a deep British accent comes from the door, "Please state your full name and your House..."
After you share your name and house, the door will swing open to the ornate classroom. As usual, Professor Cerulean has decorated the classroom using charms to match the theme of the lesson. Once you have rped yourself introducing yourself to the door wait for the door to formally announce you before you enter the room. (I will come in throughout the day and act as the announcer)
Before entering, please wait for the door to introduce you properly. Then you may walk into the room.
~* Decorations *~
The room is extravagant! The ceiling is sparkling under a tool puff. The room is divided into four sections, one for each of the houses. Each section is easy to spot because it is color coordinated to match each house. Above each section, there are Chinese Lanterns floating above the section in shades of the house's color. So the Slytherin section has shades of green lanterns floating above the round tables. Ravenclaw has shades of blue lanterns floating above the round tables. Gryffindor has shades of red lanterns floating above the round tables. And Hufflepuff has shades of yellow lanterns floating above the round tables.
SPOILER!!: The ceiling
SPOILER!!: Chinese Lanterns Floating over each section
Each section contains a number of round tables that have been decorated using the House Colors as well. The tables have a simple black table cloth. The napkins and plates color coordinate with the lanterns floating above them. The tables have already been set in a formal setting. The centerpieces are very simple and elegant. Each centerpiece has three cylinder vases of varying sizes filled with water that is dyed to match the House color. A simple candle floats in each vase.
SPOILER!!: Table Settings
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~* Instructions/OOC *~
Please read the notes under the Entrance section. Once you have rped yourself introducing yourself to the door wait for the door to formally announce you before you enter the room. (I will come in throughout the day and act as the announcer) Then find a seat wherever you would like. Professor Cerulean will be here shortly. Please keep talking to a minimum and remember that she is watching at all times...
The class will officially start in about six or so hours. See you then!

Muggle Studies wasn’t one of Gwen’s favorite classes, but the thing it was supposed to be about sounded promising. Fancy, the third year thought as she approached the door. ‘Gwendolyn Greene’No. No middle name. Not even her best friend knew it, so the girl decided it wasn’t sooo important to mention it now. It is just a door. It will let me in, even if I don’t say it.‘Ravenclaw’, she finally added and waited to get in.
‘Hello Professor--’, she began saying and just then noticed that there was no one inside. Hmm… Once she stepped in, Gwendolyn remained quite surprised. That place was incredible. Walking towards the place for the Ravenclaw students, the third year waited for class to start. She was, for the first time, curious about the Muggle Studies class.

Alyssa stepped up to the door when all of a sudden a voice spoke out with a very Britishy accent asking for her name and the House she belonged to. So Alyssa spoke up,"My name is Alyssa Potter and I belong to Hufflepuff House." The door to the room opened and Alyssa peeked in to see that the room had been decorately just like something out of a fairy tale. She waited outside the door until she was granted permission to enter. Alyssa looked around to see whether Oakey was already here.
Jayden made an attempt to enter the classroom, but the door was closed. "Merlin. I hope I'm not late.." She began grumbling to herself before she was startled by a deep voice asking her name and house. "Jayden Grace Troutwater, and I am a Ravenclaw." She replied to the mysterious voice nervously.
Daisy walked into the class carefully treading in her heels. She didn't want to fall over, that would spoil the fun. Sure, she was looking forward to this class, but was a little annoyed at the fact she had to be polite, and couldn't smother her food with ketchup like she usually did, but she probably needed to eat a lot less ketchup anyway. 'Hello,' she smiled, feeling a bit weird talking to the door, but continuing nonetheless. 'Daisy Tucker, Hufflepuff Third Year.'

Selina approached the door for the Muggle Studies room and moved to open the door. It was locked. She turned her head around to check if anyone was pulling a prank on her. Nope, no one was there. She crossed her arms and waited for someone to come by and help her. After a few minutes of waiting shebknocked on the door, "Hello? Selina Skylar, I'm in Gryffindor. We have Muggle Studies today right?". Where was her Professor?

Hannah was headed to her muggle studies class when she noticed the door was closed. Hmm...that is weird she thought. She shrugged it off because this was muggle studies and she didn't have much knowledge in that department. Maybe it's some kind of weird ritual before you can come into a room. "Hannah Maire Lockwood. Slytherin." She said quite proudly.

A bit nervous about her dress, Nora made her way to the Muggle Studies classroom and gasped when she heard the voice asking for her name and house. "Nora Penelope Reed," she said hesitantly, wondering what this was all about. "And I am a Slytherin." And proud of it. Hehe.

Muggle Studies. She really needed a break from that subject. It was one of those that she doesn't seem to like. There were dancing mainly, that was her reason. And she hated dancing that was why she did not want to attend the lesson. But for the sole sake of her house, she was there.
After all, maybe Professor Cerulean would be so ever grateful today and not have the prospect of making them dance? Then again that was impossible, considering their theme for the first lesson and she even made them wear dresses! Beezus sighed as she tried hard on walking with those shoes. It was definitely not her choice but she did not have any option.
And that was why she was now in front of the Muggle Studies classroom door, and when she pulled the handle to open it.
"Please state your full name and your House..." She heard the door say. Waiiiiiiiit...
She couldn't remember that the door talked, well..at least not last term. Oh well..all part of today's lesson. "Err--Beatrice Evangeline Castell. Ravenclaw," she said.

Sky walked nervously to the muggle studies class, her specially-for-this-class heels softly clicking on the floor. She noticed that the door was closed. Huh, that's odd… maybe the professor wants us to knock first? As Sky was reaching out her hand to do just that, a British sounding person asked for her name and house. "Sky Carter-Hope, Slytherin," she answered, her own American accent standing out more (at least to her ears) with very few people around.

Jezzabelle peaked around the corner to the Muggle Studies classroom and felt herself take a nervous shaky breath. She walked towards the line outside the door and looked down. She felt a little over dressed for a class but it did say formal attire. She looked up at the door and spoke softly to the door, "Jezzabelle Marie Antoinette of Gryffindor House." Now she just had to wait to be announced to go int.

This should be interesting.
"Announcing the arrival of Ms. Jayden Grace Troutwater." the door said in a thick, thick accent.

The door started to say the young girl's name to introduce her to classroom, but she walked by without waiting. The room began to shake slowly and the door announced in a frustrated voice, "Please welcome Ms. Gwendolyn Greene, of the Ravenclaw House. Please take note that your rude etiquette of not waiting for your formal introduction will be shared with Ms. Gemma Cerulean and points will be deducted from your house. Thank you...that is all..."

The door began to shake a little bit after the young girl knocked on the door...it was trying to open up after she had checked that it was locked. In the British Accent, it said, sounding very annoyed, "Please be patient and don't be in such a hurry. One of the most important rules of etiquette is patience..." the door's words echoed and it was obvious it was irritated. It slung open quickly, "Introducing Ms. Selina Skyler of the House of Gryffindor. Please make note that this one is not patient and likes to bang rudely on doors. Minus two points from the House of Gryffindor for her lack of patience and grace..."
Taylor went up to the door that was closed.... weird... she heard a british accent saying that she needs to state her full name and house.... she was creeped out a little bit, "TAylor Belle McIntyre......of Ravenclaw." Was that the proper way?
India was confused to say the least by the locked door. Why have a class and have the door locked? She wondered as she let her hand clasp around the handle a voice rang out. Peculiar of you didn't know this was a school where peculiar was, well common.
Doing as the voice asked she answered. "India Johanson, Ravenclaw" she waited for something to happen a click the voice to come again because obviously it was supposed to right?

He had never been too good at Muggle Studies but somehow they were always one of the most interesting lessons for him. Formal Muggle attire was a must for this lesson, apparently, and - after doing some research - he had found the hopefully appropriate suit for this lesson.
Chewing on his lower lip nervously Lewis approached the classroom door. They were supposed to...introduce themselves to a door?! This was almost as weird as talking to the ivy in the greenhouses. Weird school, very weird school.
"Lewis Rasting. Hufflepuff." Could he...go in now? Or was he supposed to wait? And if so then wait for what? For the door to answer? Huh.
Evelyn stood in front of the closed door, feeling a little stupid. Um. So, what was she supposed to say? Hm. Maybe that she was bored and she really didn't like her dress? Er, no. That was..unnecessary.
"My name is Evelyn Wellington and I'm a Hufflepuff." That's it. That should do. She started to tap her foot against the floor as she waited for the door to open.

Vlimia smoothed her long red dress and smiled. She had a childish love for dressing up. Looking around, she spotted the Muggle Studies classroom. Vlim had never been this early to a class before! She had never been late, but never exactly early, either. Cautiously, Vlimia knocked on the door. A deep male voice that sounded both courteous and authoritive asked her name and house. It would seem that the door was talking... oh well. "I'm Vlimia Laurel Maze of Ravenclaw house. It's a pleasure to, uh, make your acquaintance." Vlimia said, trying to be as Muggle and polite as she could. Because this was Muggle Etiquette, so she should be polite more polite than usual.

Hannah blinked a few times when the door announced her in. She stepped in and had to do a double take. It was so fancy like in here almost too fancy like. She shuddered at the thought of what would take place in this class. She found an empty seat and hoped that soon one of her classmates would be joining her.
Lilly walked up to the door. It was closed, but there seemed to be people inside. Was she s'pose to introduce herself to a door? "My name is Lilly Deluise. I'm a second-year Gryffindor," she said. "Oh, hello, by the way," Lilly added. That might be polite. To say hello to a door. And, at the same time, competely mad. She bit her fingernail, excited to see what was inside. Muggle studies lessons were always loads of fun.

After hearing the door introduce her, Sky gently (well she didn't want to hurt it) pulled the door open and walked inside. What she saw made her gasp. The room was beautiful! She looked around and noticed that the lanterns hanging from the ceiling seemed to indicate where each house was to sit. She made her way over to where the green lanterns hung and chose a seat.
She took a closer look at the centerpiece and noticed that even the water the candles were floating in had been dyed green. Wow!

Nate had only expected the door to close after every student in line to enter Muggle Studies, because he had gotten the memo. He wasn't expecting to be later than usual this time, but sometimes things happened. Things like having to, oh, I don't know, put on a full suit?
He wanted to dress up from his usual uniform, and he could think of only one way: vibrance. He was wearing a deep blue suit with a darker shade of blue on the button-down shirt underneath. A red tie adorned his neck, paired with a matching kerchief in his front suit pocket. Carved Ravenclaw cufflinks--courtesy of some Transfiguration know-how--were pinned through, well, his cuffs, and a self-done Ravenclaw crest was stuck firmly, by use of sticking charm, to his breast pocket. His hair and shoes were another story, as the red converse and usual mussy hairstyle remained as they usually were on the everyday Nate. His wand was, naturally, close at hand in his inside coat pocket. He always had it, even for Muggle Studies. One never knew...
Approaching the door, Nate was sort of shocked that it didn't ask for his rank and intent. "Nathaniel Zacharias Stone," he said clearly, "Ravenclaw." And he was proud of it! Now just to wait to be announced before entering the class-that-didn't-seem-at-all-like-it-was-going-to-be-a-class room.
Taylor went up to the door that was closed.... weird... she heard a british accent saying that she needs to state her full name and house.... she was creeped out a little bit, "TAylor Belle McIntyre......of Ravenclaw." Was that the proper way?
In a thick British Accent, the door said: "Please welcome Ms. Taylor Belle McIntyre of the House of Ravenclaw."
