Muggle Studies Lesson 1: Famous Muggles: Pablo Picasso
As usual, Professor Kay’s lesson was held in the morning, 10:00 AM to be exact. She was just about finished making the last preparations for the lesson. The blue eyed woman mentally did a check of these: there was a fire that sufficiently warmed the room which was lit in the fireplace at the back; she had all the supplies they would need for the activity spread across her desk though they were covered by an amethyst coloured sheet. There was also something else covered entirely with another sheet of the same colour. Whatever could it be? Doesn't it poke at your curiosity? It stood not on Kay’s desk but rather to the side of it- the side closest to the door and in full view of the class.
There are no indications (yet again) to indicate what today’s lesson will be about, the professor made sure of that as she liked to keep her students in suspense. Satisfied that everything was set, she moved to the classroom’s door. She was ready to greet her kiddos!
You’re free to have a seat when you arrive as well as chat with your friends.
OOC: HalloooOOOooo, my loves! Welcome to the first OOC lesson for the term! Remember to familiarise yourself with Kay’s rules before posting We shall begin in 24 hours! Please keep chatting to a minimum. Thank yoooou! The lesson has started! Please DO NOT announce late charrie arrivals!
The heady boy finally made it to class. He made it with a few minutes to spare. He adjusted himself and he felt warmth. Where was the warmth coming from? He scrunched his eyebrows and saw the fireplace. Aaaahh makes sense. He saw the Professor sitting in front of the room. He nodded and greeted her with, "Hello Professor, the fireplace is a nice touch.." I mean it was cold in the castle that is for sure. "How are you doing?" he asked referring to all the supplies he saw. Once he said his greetings, he turned away and went to go find his seat. He found one closest to the fireplace and began to sketch just a little bit.
He even saw all his fellow students and wondered how they came here so early. Didn't they love food?

Waaaaaay to many stairs and certainly not enough time and energy to make it worth while. "Good morning, Professor," she greeted with a smile at the woman by the door before stepping into the classroom The fourth year taking note of her classmates already there as well as the hidden surprises around the professor's desk.
Ooooo a mystery!!
Moving to take a seat, she opted for one near Olivia who seemed quiet. But it was still good to see the other girl who had appeared absent for some things. "Hey," Cass greeted quietly herself as she sat down and got her stuff ready for the lesson.

Although it was one of his favorite classes he scrambled up all his stuff and switched seats to go sit by her. He put all his things, neatly on the desk next to her and dragged his chair so it was riiight next to Liv's. If she didn't raise her head soon, he was prepared with his quill to take notes for her.
"You can sleep if you want to," He whispered, glancing at professor Stewart to make sure she wouldn't overhear him. "I'll cover for you."
No worries, mama. I got your back.
Liv hadn't planned to be joined... but... at least the person who had was being considerate. See, loud noises were still a bit much for her brain to wade through..... But she still did her best to offer up a convincing smile. It wasn't Cassie's fault that she was a mess right now. "Hey."...
.... And Cassie wouldn't be the last to do so.
Dragging her head up off the desk, Liv caught sight of her Carlton, being especially precious and ugh. He warmed her heart. This Gryffindor was so very grateful to have him. What was he saying...? She slowly resettled her head down on the desk. "Hey, you." The smile was a touch more genuine, without her having to try too hard.... BUT INTRODUCTIONS, because there was a Ravenclaw sitting with them... "Carlton... This is my friend, Cassie." She didn't plan on anyone feeling left out if they were all going to be sitting together today. Olivia wasn't rude.
Leaning over, she snugged him.

Something was off, for some reason Something was off with Katerina this morning. She was just not feeling as Katty Kat as she was. She had a little of the sads. So classes was a had to drag herself too today. She was running late... laterr than she normally was. In was Muggle studies and Kat was always early for Muggle Studies. She didn't even have time to find James to see if he would walk her to class like he always did.
The blonde headed up to the Muggle Studies classroom. She gave the professor a small smile, "Good morning, professor Stewart." She said in a quiet tone that could only be heard by the two them. Shuffling her feet as she passed to go into the classroom. She noticed the bright colored sheets covering up what she guessed was something to do with today's lesson.
She didn't know where she was going to sit so she just picked the closest empty seat and sit down there. She kept her eyes on the things covered up with the sheets.

She quickly made her way to a seat and sat down. She removed the necessary lesson requirements from her bag and placed them on her desk.
In no time her first student arrived and Kay was not the least surprised to see Zelena’s attention attracted to the covered items. Curiosity… she could see it on the Snake’s face. She remained silent until she was spoken to. After all, it would be rude to interrupt someone’s thoughts. “Good morning, Ms Holmes! That’s just fine. I am, thank you for asking and I hope you are as well.''
SPOILER!!: Janelle! Seventh year already?!

Making her wait to find out what they'd be doing in class was torture.
"Hello Professor. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us today." That was the truth. Janelle found her seat and sat down. She took out her supplies and opened her textbook. That would have to take her mind off things until class began.
“Hello, Ms Guidry. I certainly hope you enjoy all that I have planned today.’’ She smiled at the seventh year, hardly daring to believe that time had flew by so quickly. Then again, she had been here for three years now.

"Hello, professor." She sat down somewhere near the front, turning to greet the other students ( Zelena and Janelle ) as well. "Hi." Etta pulled out her parchment and quill, set them on the desk and waited for class to begin.
Arriving next was a Hufflepuff. “Hello to you too, Ms Kramer. I hope you’re well.’’

"Good morning, Professor Stewart," he said. What's upppppp?
He took note of the sheet hiding who-knew-what. What was it with Hogwarts' professors and sheets hiding stuff? Brent turned away from the sheet and found a random seat in the room. Alright, Muggle Studies. Hit me with your best shot.
Hello, there! This one looked sleepy even though it was well into the morning. Kay chuckled. “Look sharp there, Mr Westwood. We don’t want you falling asleep during the lesson, do we? Good morning to you as well.’’
SPOILER!!: Head Girl! <3

Looking around she smiled at the students that had already arrived and then turned towards the professor, "Morning Professor, hope you are having a lovely day."
A little kissing up and being sweet wasn't a bad thing. With her greetings done though she made her way to the first empty seat and sat down. "Morning everyone." She was in a good mood so she figured why not say hello to everyone instead of just a select few.
Kay smiled when she saw the Head Girl approaching. “Good morning to you too, Ms Franks- Mundie. I am, thank you for asking.’’ She smiled even further when Natalia greeted the entire class in general.

He may have poked and tugged at those covered things a bit. Gryffindor curiosity you know.
“Good morning, Mr Salander!’’ She was always happy to see him (and all of her students, of course) but this Gryffindor always was in such a great mood that she felt it as well. Kay laughed at his reaction as he poked and tugged at the sheet. “Careful there. We don’t want to give away the surprise, do we?’’

She waved and smiled at the professor before greeting her, "Morning, Professor Stewart." She then found an empty chair and collapsed into it. She yawned hugely, rubbing her eyes. She must look terrible.
Another sleepy student. Kay was starting to wonder if she was going to have coffee for the ones that needed it. “Good morning, Ms Darcy. Had a tough night? Perhaps you should have a nap during your free time.’’ Poor juno. Being a student was challenging at times.

She had hated most of the muggle kids she knew from home and only her family she liked. So… Well… Let’s say that was curious about today’s lesson and to ‘learn’ about something she probably already knew. That was, actually, sometimes funny, especially to see how some of the pureblood kids really didn’t seemed to understand a thing about muggles!
Entering the classroom her eye fell immediately on the object covered with a sheet and, frowning she wondered why almost EVERY lesson she had attended had been started with a hidden object under a sheet or a blanket… Praying her eyes away from the hidden object she nodded at the teacher. “Hello professor” smiled the second year while walking over toward one of the seats near the back of the room to take a place there.
Kay could not miss how Leesha’s attention was drawn to the covered objects. Then again, if she had been a student, she would have been that curious as well. “Good morning, Ms Griffel,’’ she said with a smile.

At the very least, she was familiar with Muggle things, and the morning class wasn’t a difficulty for her either. She’d just made sure to remember to have some coffee with breakfast, and she felt energized enough. Considering it was still rather cold in the castle, the coffee had helped in more ways than one although she wouldn’t have turned down any tea, cocoa, or anything else warm that Professor Stewart might offer. If she offered anything.
Upon arriving at the classroom, she didn’t see any hot beverages. Just the professor’s desk draped in an amethyst cloth, along with something else. “Good morning, Professor Stewart,” she greeted the woman as she’d walked inside, giving her a smile before making her way over to a seat near Nat.
“Morning Nat,” she added as she settled into her seat. As if they hadn’t had the chance to say that before they’d left the dorms. It didn’t hurt to repeat the greeting.
As per her norm, Kay greeted the next student warmly. “Good morning, Ms Penrose! Come on in and have a seat.’’ Her eyes twinkled when she saw the look toward her desk. Was it wrong that she liked seeing her students being this curious?

"Morning Professor Stewart," would it be wrong if she was tempted to refer to the Muggle Studies Professor as 'Stewart Number One'? Who's bright idea was it to hire people with the same surname? Then again, there were two Newton's, so perhaps it was more common? But at least with the two Newtons, one was male and one was female.
Also, what was Tenacius doing poking around at the covered things. "You probably shouldn't poke at what's under the fabric before time. You know professors like to conceal stuff and then reveal it shortly into the lesson." It was like this game they had to test their patience level or something.
Taking a seat in like the third row - because it wasn't TOO close where she'd seem like an eager nerd - but not too far away, Skylar fiddled with a pencil as she waited. Did she mention that using pencils were the weirdest of things in regards to muggle studies?
“Good morning to you too, Ms Diggory!’’ Kay looked on with interest at the interaction between the Slytherin and the Gryffindor. “I have to say, I do admire his curiosity, however.’’

Was it already a year since this young man had started Hogwarts? Kay marveled at how quickly time flew by. “Good morning, Kovalainen! Go on ahead to find yourself a seat.’’
SPOILER!!: Dalton! <3

It was so nice to be in the room that was so warm, because the corridors where draughty as anything. And so he sat with his back toward the fire, enjoying its warmth on his neck. Soon, he'd be warm enough to take his cloak off.
He didn't question the covered sheets, didn't even raise an eyebrow at the hidden secrecy and surprises - he'd gotten used to it over his years here, and besides, the Seventh year was almost done with the Castle, and his curiosity had run out. Or maybe he was in a bad mood for other reasons. Who knew?
“Good morning, Mr Fletcher! I hope you are well.’’ She observed him as he headed for a seat at the back. He didn’t even pay attention to the sheets at the front. Was he alright? Was something bothering him? Kay would keep an eye on the seventh year just in case.
SPOILER!!: Daisy! <3

"Morning, Professor Stewart!" She greeted the woman happily, attention then being diverted to the large purple cloths hiding stuff. OOOooohhh, that looks interesting.
She made her way to her desk, curiously glancing back at the covered items. Impatience was such a bad trait for a Slytherin.
Hello! This fifth year looked more than ready for the lesson. “Good morning, Ms Carden. It’s great to see you in such a great mood.’’
SPOILER!!: Kitty! <3

Usually she tried to sit right in the front row so as to be one of the first students to answer a question. This time, however she moved to the back left and sat down, a bit farther away from the others than she usually was. Then she tossed her newly dyed silver hair over her shoulders and stared blankly forward.
The silver hair threw Kay off. She saw the full head of hair bobbing towards her but it took a moment for her to realise it was Kitty. “Good morning, Ms Valentine. All is well with me.’’ She smiled. “I really do hope you will enjoy the lesson. By the way, I do like the new colour.’’ The professor noticed that Kitty sat away and at the back. It was possibly the episode during History of Magic that had brought this about.
SPOILER!!: Oliver! <3

Literally shocked by some invisible fire field. So when Olly saw another mysterious sheet he did not approach it. He just stared at it grumpily, with a look that bordered on glaring. He went a took a seat, pointedly ignoring any and all mysterious sheets in the classroom.
Oliver did not look to be in a good mood. Despite this, Kay couldn’t help but offer him a small smile as though hoping to channel some of her good mood to him.
SPOILER!!: Olivia! *pets her* <3

Which was probably evident in the way she simply took a seat in the back of the room, lying her head down upon the desk. Others were speaking and mingling, but none of that appealed to her. In fact, Liv was just returning to lessons after an extended stay in the Infirmary... and that very dramatic History of Magic class. So, as a byproduct, the blonde wasn't really in the mood for chitchat. Her head was still achy and fuzzy, but she didn't want to miss anymore classes.
Anyway, Olivia was just going to sit here silently until things officially started.
Hello, Professor Stewart.
Oh, dear. Was Olivia alright now? Kay’s blue eyes followed her as she took her seat at the back. She preferred seeing her students happy but sadly that could not always be the case. She’d keep an eye on the Gryffindor as well.
SPOILER!!: Noelle! <3

She said brightly to the professor before heading over to Janelle and sitting down beside her. She gave the older girl a smile. "Hey"
Pulling her items out to get ready for class, she kept eyeing the desk curiously. "What do you think is under there?" She asked Janelle, waiting for the class to begin.
What was this? Did Kay detect a hint of suspicion on Noelle’s face? Given that strange things always occurred at Hogwarts, one could hardly blame the Lion. Roderick would be proud of her. “Good morning, Ms Summers! Go on and have a seat.’’

Actually, he was pretty sure that he had two socks from different pairs and neither of those pairs were his. The only thing that he was sure was his was the robe as it had his badge pinned to it.
Hair unruly, the Prefect almost fell through the door...completely out of breath. "H..hi Profeh.. Professor!" And then he slunk to take a seat, rearranging himself and tucking his uniform the right way.
Was that a pink eye mask on the top of his head??
This was a side of Rooney Kay hadn’t seen before. Normally he was so prim and properly dressed but obviously something had kept him from being so this morning. “Slow down, Mr Bronwyn. Take a deep breath,’’ she said kindly. “Good morning to you as well! Um, there’s something on your head.’’ She knew she had no need to tell Rooney to fix his appearance. He was responsible enough.

This was alright, right? Ex-boyfriends and girlfriends were allowed to sit together........ right?
"Hi!" The now sixteen year old lowered her voice to a whisper. "... I can move if you want."
Another student who was ready to take on the day! Or at least Muggle Studies. Kay gave Charlotte a smile as she entered before turning her attention to the corridor. Who was next to arrive?
SPOILER!!: Henry! <3

He lingered in the doorway a moment, his eyes surveying the room as he looked for a place to sit. He eventually chose a seat near the front, smiles for everyone around. Oh and.. "Morning, Professor."
Though his mind was on other things, he did vaguely wonder what the lesson might be about. Watching movies in this class was usually his favorite, but it didn't appear that was what they'd be doing today. No sign of the projector, not even a projector shaped lump under the sheet.
It was a Hufflepuff! “Good morning to you as well, Mr Whittebrook!’’ the professor greeted brightly. She glanced at her watch. It was almost time to get started.
SPOILER!!: Carlton! <3

THIS HE KNEW!
He knew muggle studies because he was one! Well, almost anyway. He knew muggle stuff, he'd practically spent the entire semester in the Fun Room because it felt like home.
Carlton pranced into the room, beaming and looking around him curiously. He spotted professor Stewart and did a little bouncy jump of excitement. Oh hai.
"Good morning professor! It's a good morning, do you have a good morning? Because it's a good morning." Carlton was a ball of excitement and sunshine today, because MUGGLE STUDIES. He took his usual spot in the front of the class and eagerly started to unpack his notebook and quill. He was so ready.
After unpacking all his stuff he looked around him at the covered objects. INTERESTING. Carlton spotted a familiar blonde in the back of the room and frowned, concerned. What was she doing all the way over there with her head bent down like that? He'd missed her, she had been in the hospital wing for so long. He disliked that A LOT.
Although it was one of his favorite classes he scrambled up all his stuff and switched seats to go sit by her.

No worries, mama. I got your back.
Oh, my! She did adore this first year and all the great energy he brought with him. “I”m glad to see that you’ve made it to the lesson, Mr Lewis! Indeed it is. I did and I still am having a great morning! Your energy has made it even better.’’ No lie there. She watched him go off to a seat but then eventually moving next to Olivia. This was good. Carlton’s good mood could hopefully help the Gryffindor.

He nodded and greeted her with, "Hello Professor, the fireplace is a nice touch.." I mean it was cold in the castle that is for sure. "How are you doing?" he asked referring to all the supplies he saw. Once he said his greetings, he turned away and went to go find his seat. He found one closest to the fireplace and began to sketch just a little bit.
He even saw all his fellow students and wondered how they came here so early. Didn't they love food?
Ah! The Head Boy made it just in time and Kay was pleased about this. In another minute, she would have closed the door to the classroom. “Good morning, Mr Winchester! I am doing rather well. I hope you are as well.’’ About thirty seconds from now, she’d begin.

The blonde headed up to the Muggle Studies classroom. She gave the professor a small smile, "Good morning, professor Stewart." She said in a quiet tone that could only be heard by the two them. Shuffling her feet as she passed to go into the classroom. She noticed the bright colored sheets covering up what she guessed was something to do with today's lesson.
She didn't know where she was going to sit so she just picked the closest empty seat and sit down there. She kept her eyes on the things covered up with the sheets.
Just as Kay was about to step fully back into the classroom, she notices a certain Hufflepuff making her way to the room. "Good morning, Ms Delgado,'' she responded with a smile. "You're just in time!''
* * * * * * *
Alright! Kay shut the door. It was time to get started! Any stragglers who found their way to the classroom now would be unable to enter. Full of energy, she made her way to the front of the class to stand beside her desk or rather, beside that mysterious item that was covered at the side of her desk.
“Welcome, everyone, to another Muggle Studies lesson! Before we begin, I would like to give you all two thumbs up for being punctual today.’’ She beamed around at them all fondly. Why not start the lesson off on a positive note? “If you’re not feeling it today, I hope that changes soon.’’ Her eyes found some of the students’ whom she had observed earlier that were out of it.
Right!
It was time to get a move on.
Kay placed a hand atop the covered object she was standing next to. “I noticed most of your reactions to these. Curiosity, indifference, suspicion...’’ She indicated the sheets. Quite frankly, she enjoyed the said reactions. Maybe a little too much. “I will be satisfying your curiosity for a bit now. What I have here is a…’’ The sheet was lifted. ‘’Painting. What I would like you to do when you’re called upon, is to take a guess as to the name of it and or give me the name of the artist.’’ While she waited for the hands to raise, the woman began folding the sheet.
OOC: Hiya! Please note that the lesson has began and any charrie entrances after this post will result in points deduction Simply pretend the charrie’s been there the entire time if they’re now joining. We’ll move on in 24 hours!
Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something...
Nat couldn't help but smile at Zelena she was such a sweet girl and always so friendly to Natalia. "Having a good day?" It was still early, but hopefully the younger student was. The next to come in was her dormmate Elle and Nat moved her things so her friend could sit with her. "Morning.. again." she giggled knowing they all said it to each other while getting ready for the day.
When the professor started class Nat grabbed her quill and parchment to take notes. The sheets were lifted and a painting had been revealed. She had no clue who painted it or what it was called. Art was not her thing. She could barely draw stick figures so she had no clue what any of this was called.
So instead of raising her hand she stayed silent. Nat looked around to see if anyone in the room knew the answer.
Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia
Well, that was an interesting-looking painting. Very colorful, though it wasn't really something Rula thought of as pretty. It was too...something. She couldn't think of the right words to describe what she didn't like about it. Just not her cup of tea basically.
She definitely didn't know the name or the artist, so her hand remained down, ready to take notes instead.

Having visited a few art galleries, Zelena immediately knew the artist but it took a few moments before her mind recalled the name of the painting. She slowly raised her hand and spoke.
"Professor, the painting is by Pablo Picasso and it is titled The Weeping Woman."

....but before anymore could be said, the lesson was properly starting... And Olivia assumed that meant she needed to pretend to get involved in whatever the discussion would be for the day. The most comforting aspect of this was that she'd been raised around muggle things, and felt confident that whatever they would be focusing on...wouldn't overwhelm her mind too much. "Muggle" wasn't new to Liv. She had muggle grandparents.
Luckily.
Yep, Olivia felt lucky to have muggles in her family.
As for this painting... Well, she didn't know. Her mother was an avid collector of art, but none of her pieces were as...abstract as this one was. Er... It was certainly interesting looking. Given that it was a piece of art, she expected Rooney to know details as to its origin... Or... Well, Rooney looked terribly out of sorts today, with his sleep mask shoved up into his messy hair. In fact, the blonde had never seen him so disheveled. Not in a lesson. Perhaps he needed a bit of her sleeping potion.
"Looking at it.... It makes me feel sad." Well, more sad, considering her natural depression lately. "Even though, it's vibrant and exciting in color, it still seems to express a deep sense of melancholy." Just the feels she personally got from the painting. This might not've been the case for everyone..

Juno looked over at the younger Gryffindor, Liv she thought her name was, and wanted to snort. Professor Stewart didn't ask how it made them feel. She rolled her eyes but kept her thoughts to herself. Juno was in a very grumpy sleepy mood today. But she was going to get through this and keep her cool.
She quickly raised her hand and waited to be called on. Once she was, she replied, "I believe it is a Picasso. Just looking at it and with the way the lines are and the very abstract figure, it's very much Picasso-esque." She put her hand back down, and tried very hard to keep her eyes open.

Char's reaction was kind of visceral to that picture. She recoiled. Ew. Gross. She didn't hate the colours but she found the rest of it unsettling. She agreed with Liv too and put her hand up.
"I don't know who it is or what its called but.... I don't like it, professor, it makes me feel.... uncomfortable." Just being honest here.

Etta loved to draw occasionally but she honestly didn't know a lot about paintings... but that painting looked weird, for sure. What did it even mean? And it was called the weeping woman? She stared at it, studying it carefully for some more time, tilting her head to the side. Hmmm.
"I don't know professor but...... it's vibrant. The colours are loud but... the woman in it looks like she is expressing her grief." Etta answered, raising a hand.

Its a painting. And yeah he recognized it "Uh.... its a Picasso painting. I dunno what its called. Its one of those... weird ones." And from what he can recall of Picasso's work everything was pretty weird "I think he's kinda crazy or needs new glasses or something? Because a lot of his work looks like that."

MUGGLE STUDIES!
Derf could not WAIT for this lesson for a bunch of reasons, but he would have to admit that the primary reason was entirely selfish. In a sea of failing spellwork and blank stares it was nice to have something where you felt confident in talking and doing. He KNEW muggle things and even had a bit of an acute fascination with how muggle and magical influenced each other - primarily when ht came to creatures but STILL.
So Derf had arrived early and eagerly to class and was practically bouncing in his seat waiting to see what would be discussed today. Was his Slytherin buddy here? Slate SHOULD be. He would probably feel less like a grindylow out of water if he were in this class...

Oh they were starting!
Derf's hand immediately shot up before the professor had even finished her question because he was just THAT confident...only to feel the same eagerness sucked riiiiiight out of him when all was revealed. Cue a crestfallen Hufflepuff because he knew absolutely nothing.
NOTHING!
When it was his turn to speak, the Hufflepuff merely gaped at the professor and shook his head rapidly back and forth. He did not know who this Pizza-O person was that his classmates kept bringing up...but if it was this person who had painted that...it looked nothing like pizza...and was kind of scary looking.
Like...he was glad it was not a magical portrait because that moving about would likely give him nightmares.

It was time for class to begin and Janelle sat up a little straighter in her seat. Time to find out what the hidden object was. When the professor removed the sheet and revealed a painting, Janelle was surprised. She had not expected that to be beneath the cover. She was staring at it, when the first question of the day was asked.
Janelle wasn't sure of the painting's name, but she knew who the artist was. She'd recognize that style anywhere. The Ravenclaw raised her hand to chime in on the discussion. "That painting is by Pablo Picasso", she said. So we're they studying muggle artists today?

.... And Cassie wouldn't be the last to do so.
Dragging her head up off the desk, Liv caught sight of her Carlton, being especially precious and ugh. He warmed her heart. This Gryffindor was so very grateful to have him. What was he saying...? She slowly resettled her head down on the desk. "Hey, you." The smile was a touch more genuine, without her having to try too hard.... BUT INTRODUCTIONS, because there was a Ravenclaw sitting with them... "Carlton... This is my friend, Cassie." She didn't plan on anyone feeling left out if they were all going to be sitting together today. Olivia wasn't rude.
Leaning over, she snugged him.
Carlton enjoyed being snugged. He smiled contently, happy he'd decided to swith seats to the back of the class after all. He glanced over at the girl Liv introduced as her friend. He'd seen around in class before of course but never actually talked to her. He was only 11 after all.
"Hello, Cassie." A small little wave at her before he continued to be snuggled by Liv. Because COZY.

“Welcome, everyone, to another Muggle Studies lesson! Before we begin, I would like to give you all two thumbs up for being punctual today.’’ She beamed around at them all fondly. Why not start the lesson off on a positive note? “If you’re not feeling it today, I hope that changes soon.’’ Her eyes found some of the students’ whom she had observed earlier that were out of it.
Right!
It was time to get a move on.
Kay placed a hand atop the covered object she was standing next to. “I noticed most of your reactions to these. Curiosity, indifference, suspicion...’’ She indicated the sheets. Quite frankly, she enjoyed the said reactions. Maybe a little too much. “I will be satisfying your curiosity for a bit now. What I have here is a…’’ The sheet was lifted. ‘’Painting.

When class started Carlton sat up a bit straighter in his seat to watch what professor Stewart was uncovering. He sat on the edge of his seat in suspense before the professor removed the sheet and his shoulders slumped. He didn't know anything about paintings or artists. He preferred the moving portraits at Hogwarts over the art he'd grown up with.
Carlton tilted his head watching the painting with great disbelief. Was it really a famous painting? He couldn't understand why. It didn't make him feel happy or good at all.
Apparently Liv felt the same way. Mama. Heart eyes.
He looked over at Char and nodded his head in agreement. He raised his hand to add his opinion on the matter. "I don't like it either, professor. She looks sad and that makes me sad. Also, why is does she have that nose?" Wait, where was the nose? Did she even have one? Carlton leaned forward, squinting at it. The more he stared at the painting the less sense it made. "Did she really look like that, professor? That's a lot of edges on a face." He found it very hard to believe that someone had actually walked around in the world looking like that.
Also, he had no clue what the name of the painting or the artist was. But a good portion of the class seemed to have the same guess. Carlton was VERY suspicious of the whole thing.
Henry turned his attention to the painting as it was revealed from under the sheet. It was strange to say the least and he had no clue what it was called or who might have painted it. The fifth year had never seen it before. But he wasn't really into art at all, though it seemed like a lot of his classmates knew who the artist was.
The name Picasso sounded at least familiar to Henry, but that's as far as the recognition went. He wasn't so sure he could say he liked it either, though it didn't really make him feel any sort of way. He also wondered why there were so many angles and the features seemed a little off.
"Was Picasso a child when he painted this?" Henry asked after raising his hand. As in maybe a child prodigy painter since he thought sometimes very young children had distorted views of reality in their artwork. Not that he could draw or paint very realistically and maybe his artwork would come out that way. Just curious though. Ohh, maybe they would actually be learning about people who became famous as children rather than about art today.
Enough people had answered who the artist was, and he was pretty sure he heard someone say the title, which he had already forgotten, so he felt comfortable asking questions rather than answering or staying silent. He tilted his head and squinted at the painting some more. "Also, why is that part in the middle black and white, and the rest of it in bright colors?" Maybe there was a reason for that?

Sinead was never entirely sure why she attended Muggle Studies classes. Her mother was a muggle, for goodness' sake- she'd grown up in a muggle household practically since she could remember. Maybe it was academic interest to get a witch's perspective on muggles, or maybe just an uncontrollable urge to attend the one class where she was basically guaranteed to be at the top (better than some of the seventh years even, maybe?!). Whatever the cause, she was always there.
The lesson started off pretty quiet as usual, but when the painting was revealed she rose her eyebrows in surprise. This seemed a little different from the kind of thing they usually learned. She wasn't really into art, but naturally they'd studied it at her primary school; this was pretty distinctive and probably one of the two painters she could name, the other being Van Gogh. She raised her hand, calling out:
"It's by Picasso, Professor."
She had no idea what the painting's title was or how some people were deducing that the woman was supposed to be sad. To be honest, it was remarkable anyone could tell it was a woman at all. Muggle art was stupid; at least when wizards painted, it actually looked like a person, never mind that it could talk as well.

When Professor Stewart unveiled the painting and asked them to identify the artist and name of the painting, Skylar stared for a moment. Uh what? How were they meant to identify and know that without any context? Was there background reading that they were supposed to do?
Skylar stared. And stared.
People were suggestion Picasso. But she decided to state a different artist's name, one that she knew to have abstract and colorful artwork, similar to the one on display in front them.
"Eduard Fleminsky. His artwork is very abstract and colorful looking as this one is." Yup. That was her answer.

PAINTING?! Olly jumped out of his seat. Wait no he hadn't meant to do that. He quickly sat back down and hoped nobody had really noticed. He had just gotten really excited at the prospect of painting. Would they be painting? Right now they were only looking at that painting but that was fine too. Olly was feeling 100% more confident about this lesson. Even though he was now firmly sitting in his seat again he had a big grin on his face as he beheld the painting.
His hand shot into the air as soon as the question was asked. He wasn't an expert on all artists by any means. But he had read several books on art and this was one artist he was fairly familiar with. He had seen a picture of this painting before, though he couldn't remember the exact name. "That's a painting by Picasso, professor. It's an oil painting, and he uses the art style of cubism, which is actually a style he has been credited with helping to create."
Daisy definitely hadn't been expecting that to be revealed. She couldn't exactly say that she recognised the painting, per se, but she definitely did recognise the style. She raised her hand and waited for her turn to speak. "I agree with everybody, Professor. It's Picasso. Or at least someone who copied him." Maybe good old Pablo hadn't actually painted all those paintings and someone had copied his style.
WELL, she hoped that was what his lesson was about.
It was nice of Professor Stewart to compliment her new hair. 'Thank you professor, glad you like it," she said, smiling slightly.
Then it was on to the lesson. Her eyes widened when the painting was revealed. "Ooh!" she exclaimed out of turn. "Sorry professor," she added hastily when it was her turn. "It's just that I've seen that painting before. Well, not the real painting of course, but a picture of it. It is called the Weeping Woman and was painted by Pablo Picasso sometime in the 20th century."
"She is based on a lady he dated, but I can't remember her name. His style was very surreal, and was considered revolutionary for the time it was made in."
Making a face after seeing the painting she shook her head. There was really SO much to explain about muggles but WHY in heavens name talk about a ugly painting? A really ugly painting? So it wasn’t surprising that Leesha didn’t knew the answer to that question because even most muggle children and even adults were not interested into going to a museum! Leesha really didn’t knew ANYONE who liked to watch paintings… So she didn’t answered the question and just… waited for the others to take a guess to answer to question. She absolutely didn’t saw a reason to answer a question she didn’t knew and to look stupid.

Gaston still felt ridiculous wearing this Santa costume, but at least the padded suit, white hair and beard, and disguised voice made it a lot harder for people to recognize him. Only if one got close enough to look into his eyes could they tell who was in the costume, and even that would be a lucky guess. After all, he wasn't the only blue-eyed male professor!
Jingle, jingle, jingle! Santa!Gaston jiggled his little Christmas bell as he approached his next stop - the Muggle Studies classroom. "HO, HO, HO!"his voice rang out as he walked into the room. "Santa's brought gifts for all the good children!"
He set the big red sack he carried on his back down gently and reached inside to pull out a candy cane. "Here's a gift for..." He paused to read the card. "Miss Natalia Franks-Mundie!" He handed the candy cane to the Head Girl. the attached card read:
Quote:
To: Natalia
Wishing you a very wicked Christmas, dearie.
From: Zelena Holmes
He reached back into the bag and produced another candy cane. "And here's one for Mr. Henry Whittebrook!" He gave the Hufflepuff boy a candy cane with the message:
Quote:
To: Henry Whittebrook
Red and white, ignorant and bright
Soaring high above them all
My eyes dare fall
Candy is sweet and so are you!
Meet me at the lake for some holiday fun,
If not, I'll assume you don't like my puns!
From: A secret admirer
Out came another candy cane, and Santa!Gaston glanced at the card. "And another one for Mr. Whittebrook!" Wow, somebody was certainly popular! He handed the boy another candy cane. This one read:
Santa!Gaston reached into the sack for yet another candy cane. "And here's one for Mr. Dalton Fletcher!" He handed the Slytherin a candy cane bearing the following message:
Quote:
To: Dalton Fletcher
I still think you're amazing! Thank you for being the most amazing person and understanding and just wonderful and I really really hope you don't secretly hate me.
From: Char
But Santa!Gaston still wasn't done! "And here's a gift for..." he began, reaching onto the bag for one last candy cane, but to his surprise, this one bore his own name! He turned the card over and read:
Quote:
To: Gaston
Roses are red
Violets are blue,
I love Christmas
But not as much as I love you.
From: Rose
It was such a corny little poem, but he loved it anyway! The words made his heart melt, but he couldn't get emotional in front of the students right now. That would be a dead giveaway of who was in the Santa suit! He cleared his throat a little loudly. "Never mind, it seems this person isn't here," he said, tucking the candy cane into his pocket close to his heart. "I'll go deliver this one now." He picked up his big red santa sack and slung it over his shoulder as he turned toward the door. "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good day!" he called back as he left.
