Sooooooo......Muggle Studies.....that class she'd managed to scrape an 'E' in by some great miracle after nearly burning the kitchen down. If someone had told her that cooking involved hard work and the possibility of a few fingers getting chopped off...she'd believe them but now she knew it also included too much salt and ovens that weren't meant to be opened simply with one's hands. In the end one thing was abundantly clear, she was not meant for the kitchen.

Also, the Gryffindor was staring, in a similar fashion to the staring back in Diagon Alley when she saw the VERY PREGNANT PROFESSOR, who was not pregnant anymore.....

"Hello Professor Hadley....................................how's the baby?" Was she allowed to ask? Did you have to be a Badger to know because she and Grayson had seen. Did the boy even remember? Lex grabbed a quill from her bag and got to the name plate, her attention split between writing and the Professor who'd never bothered to TELL her. Wasn't like she'd had plastered it all over the Aparecium. Who did that anyway?

They were meant to write down their name? Didn't Hadley know most of her students by now? The name tag thing only made sense to Tag if it were for lower years or transfer students, but a name tag?

But anyway Tag took the little name tag, named after him of course, and wrote his name on it, and everything else that was required.



And yes, Tag was being serious about the Mr. Unicorn thing.

Muggle Studies didn't sound too hard. After all, she'd grown up around muggles. So Hayden wasn't worried at all for this class. In fact, she was pretty excited. An easy class seemed nice, and it was taught by the head of her house, who she had not had the chance to meet yet. So, yeah, she was pretty excited.

"Hello Professor," Hayden said cheerfully when she walked into the room. She found an empty desk and sat down. Don't get too comfortable? Were they going somewhere? Hayden shrugged and grabbed a name tag and the pen she'd brought along. It was purple.

Adi grinned at AJ as he finished up his name tag. "I know. This was the only subject I was good at in my first year. Well, except Potions.'' But he knew his friend would eventually be good at others too. Like how he was good at Care of Magical Creatures now.

The Hufflepuff brightened up a bit when he saw his best friend enter the class. Adi vaguely wondered if Benny was mad at him for slipping him the Babbling Beverage. He should know Adi just wanted him to talk more even if it were just madness. Anyway, he waved at the Lion.

Another waving hand caught his attention at that moment. The hand belonged to Cris the sixth year. Adi waved back while mouthing, "Hey, Cris!''

Well, finally.

Someone had taken a very long break, eh? Yes, Lotus knew why, but it was still a long break. Being left at the mercy of Orsino was NOT the greatest idea, though. That made her wonder about Hadley's sanity. Either way, she still came and greeted Hadley with a smile, "Hello, Professor. Welcome back." That 'Welcome back' sounded as if they were receiving the woman from the Janus Thickey ward at St. Mungo's.

To not get comfortable? Then why was Lotus here? And where were they going? Interesting.

Did she need to write her name as well? Well, whatever. Fine.

Not even 'Lotus Wisteria'. Why? Because after two years, if you don't know her name, then you don't even deserve the 'Lotus' status. Airey, however, could refer to her as 'Lottie', but didn't. How come?

Also, LOL! Tag's... tag.




.....Wow, did she just realize that?

Muggles Studies wasn't her favorite thing in the world. She didn't like the lack of magic, but the Slytherin comforted herself by thinking of things that she likes less than this subject. Then she imagined thumping said things. Right on the face. It made her feel better. She did, though, respect the Muggle Studies professor for that kind act from last term, so instead of putting up a sour front, she was pretty neutral.

It was only when she reached the professor at the door that she grinned timidly. "Hello, Professor Hadley," greeted, taking a name tag and marker, ogling them as she went inside. It'd better not ruin her robes.

Writing her name and year on it, she stuck the tag onto her robes.

Demelza did not understand why they had to wear their uniforms to Muggle Studies. Wouldn't it make more sense to go to class dressed like Muggles? Monkey see, monkey do? This had always puzzled her since she started going to Hogwarts. Back at the Academy, dressing as a Muggle was an important aspect of the class. Plus Demelza had some radtastic Muggle outfits that she would be more than willing to show off. But there she was walking through the doorway, clad in her boring and uninspiring uniform.

"Welcome back, Professor Hadley!" the young actress-to-be said enthusiastically, in spite of her outfit. A blank name tag was then handed over to her. At first Demelza was confused. Surely Hadley hadn't forgotten her name, even though she had only been at Hogwarts for a term. But then she heard the professor say that there were some newbies in the class. Well, that made sense. So the seventh year took a marker from the cup and wrote down her name ... and year. This was her last first Muggle Studies class ever. Oh, the sadness!

Photos!: Demelza's name tag

Pleased with her handiwork, she put the marker back into the cup and stuck the name tag on her robes. Now where to sit? Hmm. After taking a quick glance around the room, she decided to sit behind Cris so she could stare at the back of his pretty head and waited for the lesson to begin.

What exactly was Muggle Studies? Kate wasn't really sure, but she hoped it was useful. Probably it would help her understand how wizards viewed Muggles, yes? Kate figured that the way wizards viewed Muggles and Muggle things was different from how Muggles viewed themselves. After all, fish don't think breathing water is weird.

Oh, name tags! Kate happily took a name tag as she entered the classroom and, after sitting down, wrote her name and year on it before sticking it on the right-hand side of her robes.

Sophie wasn't thrilled about finally taking Muggle Studies. She just didn't care all that much, and Ira Banner hadn't listed it as one of the many subjects she really needed to be good at to be a Wandmaker, for obvious reasons. So... why was Sophie there?

She wasn't entirely sure.

Regardless, there she was, saluting the professor and accepting a name tag as she entered. "Hi professor." Interesting way to learn names, she thought, but it was much more suitable than the woman having to hear dozens of new students chime their names over the span of a few minutes. Of course there was no way the professor could retain that information, right? She obediently scribbled her information down on the name tag with a marker and stuck it on her chest.

Easy enough. New class, new seating opportunities... hmm. There was a Tobes present, so naturally, Soph hurried over to snag the seat right behind him by the windows and nudged him gently to give him a 'sup' nod. Hehe. Hi, Tobes.

"Hi professor." Hadley was right at the doorway so the greeting came immediately while entering instead of after. Penelope accepted a name tag and marker and sat down at a desk to write her name down since apparently they weren't staying here. She did notice Tag's "name" tag too and briefly considered also using some sort of nickname just for the fun of it, but she was too tired to think of anything particularly creative. So her actual name it was.

Still felt weird writing that sometimes. But the name tag was now stuck to her robes, so she just had to wait for class to start.

Well, Ascanius was READY, yeah? Before class he had really pumped himself up to deal with Muggle Studies and now he was more then ready to sit through a long-winded class about stuff that he had grown up with. 'Cause muggles and whatever. Or, y'know, just non-magical people. He never did understand the term muggle. Always tasted lesser in his mouth, which they weren't.

But, whatever, he was ready. Also, didn't hurt that Hadley was fit. Real fit. Nice to look at.

Anyway. He smiled all hazy-like-- 'cause he was ready-- and easily complimented Hadley, "Hello Professor. You look lovely." And she did.

Ah. Seat. He took one of those. Not before jotting down his name real quick.

"Hullo Professor Hadley!" Kyroh greeted with a wave as he walked into the class. WAVE. HI. Yeah. He had actually remembered this Professors name. Cause his papa had told him everything. ...And maybe also because he asked an older kid.

He hopped that Muggle Studies would be easy considering the fact that he knew Muggle stuff. So...easy right?

Taking a seat somewhere at the front the Ravenclaw very carefully and neatly wrote out his name. Name tags were AWESOME.

Kyroh Scabior
First Year

One thing that can make a class seem awesome before it starts is name tags. They are awesome. Nothing more, nothing less. All the possibilities you can write on them and never write your real name. Likes Tag's name tag. There was a great one, Mr. Unicorn. Even Lotus' one. Which he hates to admit.

There was Hadley. Weird that this would be the last term seeing her. Very Weird. Pretty vague instructions. So they would be moving after the get seated. Interesting.

If she did not know his name by now. This would be an awesome replacement.

Cris was catching up on his textbook reading when he felt like someone was watching him. Okay well there were lots of students in the classroom, so there was a possibility that someone would be glancing in his direction but all the same, he looked up from his book and first looked to his left and then to his right.

Nope no one specifically. Then he turned around to the back of him and was surprised to see Demelza sitting behind him. He smiled and waved at her before turning back to his book. Nah!...it couldn't be her.

It had to be his imagination.

Kace finally made it Muggle Studies. He didn't mind this class at all. He loved learning concepts from a wizards perspective. As he made his way to the classroom, he noticed he wasn't the only one there. Other's made it here before him. He smiled and then he saw the professor or rather his head of house. He nodded and said, "Hello Professor Hadley, Welcome back!" He smiled warmly and returned to his seat.

Once he got to his own seat as he put his bag down, he noticed there was a name tag. He was sure the Professor knew his name but he shrugged and did what he was told. He got out his quill and wrote....

He wanted to add a little pizzaz to his name tag. This was a nickname given to his friends. Why not try it out?

Jasmine was waiting for class to begin when she heard a familiar voice. Looking up and seeing Cris made her smile. "Of course you can join us. Grab a seat. Jasmine just might have a bit of a hard time focusing on class today, but she was not particularly sad about that.

As more people streamed into the classroom, Lux sent them smiles and waves. She was totally excited for this lesson even though it was a little confusing as to why she needed a name tag when she was a Badger. Had Professor Hadley heard about her status as Honorary Lion? Lux hoped not, and that if she had that the woman wasn't upset about it. Lion status aside, she did feel love for Hufflepuff too!

Seeing that Kace had put 'Penguin' on his name tag made her happy because that was the name that she had a few of her other friends had given him. It also gave her an idea to make a few adjustments to her own:

There, much better. Proudly, she showed off her new name tag.

Muggle Studies. She was looking forward fo this lesson. She did grow up in the muggle neighborhood after all so this lesson was definitely her cup of tea. Beside Willy also said that his Head of House was really awesome. "Hello Professor." She greeted and took a name tag before she took one of the empty seat.

Professor Hadley was back!

Running up the stairs to the muggle studies classroom, Leah stopped at the corridor and slowed down, patting down her hair. Then she saw her at the doorway. "Professor Hadley!" she yelled, hugging her head of house around the middle. "It's so good to see you again." the second year grinned.

Taking the name tag and a marker, she wrote down her information.

Quote:

Leah Abbott
Firstie Second Year

Sticking it on her robes, Leah sat down next to Angel. "Hi. Excited?" she beamed. This class must be easy for the muggle-born girl. Setting her bag down, Leah looked around and wondered why so many people wrote rubbish onto their name tags.

This class wasn't exactly Bryant's cup of tea, but he'd give it a shot. Sure he had lived right next to one of the biggest muggle capitols in the world, but he didn't spend much time with them. When he wasn't at school back in the states, he was traveling with his brother's quidditch teams and living in various wizarding villages. He didn't really have much time for muggles. So the class, while he had done a lot of reading, would be a challenge.

Fidgeting with his old quidditch shirt from his former school as he entered the room, Bryant gave a glance around the classroom before giving a friendly nod to the professor. "Good day professor. My name is Bryant Morris, fourth year transfer. I do hope you are well." He said, taking a name tag and finding a seat. He pulled out the only muggle pen he owned and quickly wrote his name and year in a very neat cursive.

Cris smiled at Jasmine once he turned his head back to the front. "I wonder what the Professor is going to be teaching us today," as he sat down comfortably in his chair.

Yes he knew that Professor Hadley had said not to make themselves too comfortable but he figured that even if he had a few minutes, he would do so. Turning his head, he waved at Leah, smiling in her direction before glancing over at another young Gryffindor he'd never met personally but had seen in classes.

"Hi Leah, it's good to see you...and hi there," he smiled at the young lion.

She had lived with her muggle relatives in California for most of her life, so Penelope should do well in muggle studies. It was not until a few years ago when it was becoming closer to the time when Penelope would be attending Hogwarts, and her magical abilities were growing stronger, that her mother had insisted that her family should move back to the wizarding village in England that her relatives lived in. Before her family moved, Penelope had not known much about the wizarding world and magic. It had been really hard for her muggle dad to adjust to the wizarding world. Finding the class after walking all the way down to the first floor, Penelope entered the room.

Entering the classroom, Penelope greeted the Professor. "Hello Professor Hadley." She took a name tag and wrote her name and year on it.

Relieved class hadn't started yet, the second year made her way into the classroom prepared for today's lesson. With her books held against her chest, she began walking towards the front of the classroom where she'd seen Professor Hadley. Hadn't she heard somewhere that she'd just returned from having a baby? Josette felt terrible for not even acknowledging this. Once near the Professor she gave a polite bow before she said softly, "H-Hello Professor...I-I hope you are well.." Giving her a nod, she turned to find a seat where she'd placed her things down. Soon after taking a quick moment to write down her name on the name tag.

Muggle Studies.

Yep. Probably one of the classes he will enjoy genuinely. Prior to attending this class, Ethan made sure that he got the professor’s name this time. He guessed it was fair that way since the professors knew them all; transfers or not. Professor Josephina Hadley. Copy that.

The Slytherin walked into the classroom and gave the professor a warm smile and a wave. “Good day, Professor Hadley.” After giving her a nod, he then got himself a green tag and a green marker and wrote down his name. The house pride thing going on in their common room was finally sinking in.

He placed the marker back in the cup and got himself a seat beside a Ravenclaw (Josette) and placed his nametag on his robe. Ethan smiled and gave his seatmate a wave. Hi, person.

Now. Where’s Simon?

Muggle Studies should have been easy for her. Lily honestly believed that, considering she was sort of half Muggle. A quarter Muggle, really, not that anyone had ever felt the need to ask. The important fact was that she was a witch, and that was why she was at Hogwarts. Yet she still couldn’t ignore the fact she was related to a Muggle, and that was why she continually felt she should have considered the subject one of her stronger ones. Unfortunately, it was more one of her average ones, but she liked Professor Hadley. She’d been curious at the announcement for the lesson, too, seeing the rumors she’d heard as well as the knowledge she hadn’t remembered seeing her at school before now. She wasn’t about to ask, though. Maybe asking would have been rude, and she wasn’t that.

In any case, the professor was there, and she’d given her a smile as she’d entered the classroom and taken the name tag offered to her. “Hi Professor Hadley!,” she added. She wasn’t offended at the suggestion they all needed those, not like it looked like some of her classmates were. If anything, it would save her the trouble of needing to introduce herself if there was partner work, like she’d had to do in the first Potions lesson with Leah. She’d seen the second year as she’d headed for an open seat, too, and given her a little smile as well. She’d sort of eyed Demelza as she’d passed her sitting behind Cris looking as if she was trying to memorize the back of his head, too. As long as there didn’t end up being any hysterics, though, she figured they were all safe. She’d still found a seat nearby just in case, settling in and pulling a pen out of her bag to write on her name tag.
