| | Technology Lounge
As you know, muggle technology does not work within Hogwarts’ magical environment. Fortunately, however, the technology lounge is an exception to this rule, thanks to a series of complicated charms, lengthy mathematical equations, and two all-nighters.
This spacious room is equip with all sorts of gadgets and gizmos. On one side of the room you can find several old timey muggle arcade games. Along the other wall there’s a row of old-school computers with limited internet-access (the World Wide Web can be a scary place, kids!). Next to the table of computers there is a shelf stacked with loads of CD-ROMS that contain educational computer-games galore! If you fancy a tune, check out the jukebox in the corner! Gr8 bops, 10/10 recommend!!
Maybe technology isn’t exactly your forte (and that’s why we take Muggle Studies, friends). Don’t fret! The technology lounge also has some tech-free items: aka board games. Pull up a beanbag chair and absolutely pwn your housemates in Monopoly. And if you stop by during lunch you may even find your Professor practicing his Backgammon strategies.

| @ Lawra ∞ 17 | RP entrepreneur | defies gravity | Miss George is flawless | blanket burrito lyfe Gus had a free moment. He never had them and so he had checked his diary fifteen times before heading out of the greenhouses and up to the castle. No one had been doing any extra work in the greenhouses and he had no existing arrangements to help people out with their studying or go over homework before submission for next week.
And so he headed on up to stop by the room in which Finneas had excelled. Look, Gus had a love for computer games and so he was often found in this room and in VERY engaged game of Minesweeper on one of the computers. So engaged that he was narrating his gameplan. Loudly.

Having passed more OWLs than he had failed (and with better grades than he would have hoped for), Józef was relieved to have a year off from exams. Of course, sixth year would still be difficult, preparing for NEWTs - that much he realised. But at least he had a while before he actually had to DO the exams.
So he was going to take as much down time as possible. Starting now, with some video games in the Technology Lounge. As he drew closer, he couldn't help but hear the (loud) battleplans of one - Professor? With a smirk, Jó wandered through he door and leaned over the teachers shoulder, curious to see how he was doing.
"Who's winning?"

"Who's winning?" "THERE ARE THREE NEARBY!!! THIS IS NOT OKAY!!! I AM NOT OKAY!!! THREE!!! THREE!!! BUT WHAT THREE?!?!!?!?! WHICH THREE?! STOP TAUNTING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" There was some panicked breathing alongside the shouting at the computer and Gus was visibly red in the face. If enough attention was paid, it would be noticed how harsh he was tapping his feet and how rough he was shoving his finger against the screen to try figure out before he did any clicking with a mouse.
A computer mouse! Not a squeaky mouse! However.. it did squeak if he moved it too quick. "YOU WILL NOT DEFEA--AHHHHHH!!!!" The mouse went up into the air and Gus swung around on the chair so fast that he fell off. Uh. "Me. Obviously."

The mouse went up into the air and Gus swung around on the chair so fast that he fell off. Uh. "Me. Obviously." Three what nearby? Jó couldn't help but look around for a moment, before realising that the Professor was talking about something on his computer game. The passion in the man's play was obvious, but what wasn't obvious was the fact that Józef was going to startle him so much that he would fall from his chair.
Even though he knew he shouldn't, that he could potentially get a detention for hurting a Professor (if Rainwater was hurt, from the fall and all), Józef burst out laughing, clutching the back of the chair that had been occupied only moments earlier.
"Do you have to forfeit now?" You know, couldn't play if he was on the floor.

The first place that Jina took Flat Newt was the technology lounge. She did not know if Newt Scamander took Muggle Studies as an elective when he was at Hogwarts, but he was of course known for lacking prejudice towards non-magical people. He worked hard to protect both the wizarding and muggle worlds during the war and even had a close muggle friend. So she thought he might have wanted to experiment with muggle technology if he were alive in the 22nd century.
When she walked into the lounge, she first put on some music using the jukebox in the corner. Ah, this was a good tune! Humming along to the music, she took out cardboard Newt from her bag and looked around. She was thinking about where to place him for the picture. Would he prefer to play an arcade game, or use the internet? In the end, she positioned him on a chair in front of a computer and took a picture using her camera.
Satisfied with the photograph, she returned Flat Newt and the camera into her bag. She sat down in a beanbag chair and with her pencil and notebook, took some notes on what Newt Scamander could be doing here. Well, this required some creativity ... she tapped her feet to the music as she wrote: Quote:
- curious about muggle technology, wonders if he might be able to use it in his creature research
- uses the internet to search beliefs muggles have about magical creatures
- ends up getting distracted by cute animal videos
- just my guess but: possibly not very tech-savvy, might accidentally damage something
Okay those were very random points there. She would see if she could make it into a decent story later on.
