Class .02 - Beginners

[Harmony Lupin]

Pleased with the outcome of the last class, Harmony walked into the Muggle Studies classroom with her head held high and her mind racing with the thoughts of Muggle studies. The younger classes have always been the best class, in her opinion to teach. They always are more enthusiastic and the attendance is always better. Placing her things on her desk, Harmony looked around the classroom. Today's lesson? Muggle food. Harmony had planned on this lesson being in the kitchens, but with such short notice it wasn't able to be done.

Improvising, Harmony had a table set up in front with a few portable grills and a small refrigerator. She had a few cooking utensils and the chalkboard was placed behind her. Her cloak draped over her chair, Harmony had on her corset and her black skirt, a white apron covering the front of herself. Waiting, Harmony looked to the door for the arriving students.

[maxx]

Three of his classes that Maxx attended was the second class. Defence Against the Dark Arts, second class, Transfiguration, second, and now Muggle Studies, the second class. Now what? History of Magic. He didn't even attended the first class but still did the homework for there, that was not problem at all.

Now it's Muggle Studies, the third second class that he was taking and is taking place now. his first guess is that he was going to be late or that Maxx would be either the fifth person or the seventh person to get there but he was the first. That was a..... first for him. Then again it's an optional class so it means that it was his choise to sign-up for it. Maxx looked at the empty room, it was weird because he would never be here first and there would be a group of people who will at talk non-stop now. The Mihael boy went to the back row and sat down with his stuff out ready for the class to begin whenever it wants to start.[/size]

[josie]

Josie walked in to the muggle studies classroom unsure of what to expect. The Professor could be hanging from the chandeliers for all she knew, it was the desk last time after all. Ah the things Professors could get away with in the name of education.

She had her duck from the previous lesson tucked safely in her bag along with anything else she might need. She smiled to the Professor and the only other student in the class, she was getting the hang of this being on time stuff.

Deciding she didn't want to sit in the middle of the class by herself as she had last lesson she took one of the empty seats beside the boy and threw him another smile, "Hey," She said cheerfully, "Alright if I sit here?" She asked.

[Mimi Suicide]

Mimi is excited for today's lesson. Last class homework has been a success! Mimi have heard about rubber duckies. They're all adorable and yellow and when you squished it, it makes sounds! Little squickie sounds.

Her mood for today is alright. She was able to do the homework correctly, hopefully... so she waited for what assignment the teacher would give them tonight. Mimi hopes that it would be something easy to do. Not something supah hard that she wouldn't be able to do it.

The teacher, she found out, is in the front of the classroom as always and she has erm...an ap..apron on and there were tools with her [utensils]. Mimi didn't know what they would be doing today so she was curious.

[kittykatbar]

James entered muggle studies. He looked around the classroom surprised that there weren't that many people in there. He was also glad that he wasn't late. He took a seat in the back and waited for the class to begin. He hopped that it would be interesting.

[Harmony Lupin]

[[ Sorry for the Delay :3

10 Points Mihael [ being on time ]
5 points Hufflepuff [ being on time ]
5 Points Gryffindor [ being on time] ]]

Looking around at the students who had entered, Harmony figured that now she can start the class.Clearing her throat, Harmony welcomed the students. "Welcome to your second Muggle studies lesson, Children" Harmony told them, starting up the fire under the portable grills and getting a few things out of the refrigerator she had in the class. "Now, I had originally intended to have this lesson in the Kitchens, but it didn't work out as well as I had planned.." Harmony told them, placing some items on the table where she would be cookie. The room began to smell of butter, it melting in the pan. It actually smelled rather nice, after Harmony added a few seasonings into the base for the food.

"First Question, easy house points - we are studying Muggle what?"

[maxx]

This lesson was supposed to be at the kitchen that was new. That was in his mind when the word kitchen came out. After that it was pretty easy for the question that she asked them. Kitchen=Food. "Muggle Food?" Wasn't sure it could have been about the tools in the kitchen like the knifes that if you drop it, it might make you bleed. :][/size]

[eveeee]

Oh darn!

Evelyn was late to Muggle Studies. That was her favorite class. She entered the room and took a seat next to Mimi. She looked around and saw muggle cooking utensils on the table. Where they learning about how to make muggle food or something? Evee taught to herself. Evelyn looked at the professor hopping she didn't miss much.

[emmawinters]

Emma hurried into class and slid into the nearest seat. After noticing the grills at the front of the classroom she grinned. Cooking had always been a strong subject for her.

[Harmony Lupin]

"Correct, very good Mitchel.. We know who The obvious one here is" she grinned a bit, waving her spoon about as she talked to her beginning class. "And before I forget, how was everyone's homework? Did you have fun with your rubber ducks?" she grinned a bit, looking for anyone to tell her about their ducky experience as she started to fry up a few things in the frying pan.

"We are studying muggle foods today, which I will be cooking for all of you to eat. Now, for all of you who have been in the muggle world or are muggleborn, can you tell me something about Fast food?" she looked around for a hand.

[maxx]

Yay Maxx got it right. Too bad it wasn't knifes and cooking stuff. There should be someone bleeding in that lesson though. :] He wasn't here on the first lesson and why did it have to be Rubber Duckies. Thoughs were his favorite muggle toy in the world so now the Mihael boy was sad. :[ Rubber Duckies were cool and that it should be the most favorite thing in the world in Maxx's opinion.

Maxx raised his hand."Fast food places like McDonalds is just a place that you can get food quick than normal restaraunts. Some times when you order a kids meal you would get a toy. If your are in a read hurry, like your late for work. You could go through the drive through with you car and order up and buy the food and then you would pick the food up," He explained to the professor.[/size]

[Harmony Lupin]

Harmony grinned. "You are on fire today, Mr. Mitchell. Well done. Five house points" Harmony awarded, glancing over to the frying pan, which she had now placed in some vegetables and a little bit of chicken. She was making a stir fry, something she was very good at making, and it would be enough to feed the whole class. "Fast food, as Maxx had explained is a chain of restaurants where people can get food on the go" Harmony told them, the sweet aroma of frying food filling the air. It was lovely.

"But what most wizards don't know is that fast food isn't all that good for you - as a matter of fact, it is bad for you" Harmony grinned a bit. "But it is very good tasting. That I can say from personal experience" she nodded. "But with Muggle food, it varies throughout the countries. In the wizarding world, Muggle food tends to stay the same. But with Muggles, with different cultures come different kinds of food." Harmony flipped the food around, adding some seasoning. "let's hear it. Who hear can tell me some different kinds of food from different cultures?"

[dragonguy93]

Thomas entered the room feeling uncomfortable cause he was late, like he was o most of his classes, he took a seat in the back, he looked front of the classroom and saw grills, the first thought in his head was cooking. He heard the teacher ask about food from different cultures. He raised hand "Well there is Sushi which is raw fish, common in Japan then there's a wide variety of Chinese food which names are very hard to pronounce, both sushi and Chinese foods are eaten with chopsticks"

[maxx]

Yay Maxx did it again, hopefully that it would do for the house points because Mihael wasn't doing good on doing that. "There are Italian foods like pizza. Mexican food like tocos." Maxx told the Professor. Japanese food isn't one of his favorite kind of food that he would eat anyways. It was weird to think that something that is really good is really bad for you but muggles believe it.[/size]

[josie]

Josie wrinkled her nose when Sushi was mentioned, who in their right mind chose to eat RAW fish. The mind boggles. She knew people who loved the stuff, one of her friends had tried to get her to eat it once but all she could think the whole time was IT'S RAW!

Anyway

Josie perked up when she heard Italy mentioned. Josie had been born in Rome Italy and lived there for nine of her fifteen years. She longed to be back there and was waiting for the day she graduated from Hogwarts so she could return.

"Ice-cream was first served in Italy." She said, "Pizza actually originates from Greece." She added without thinking. She had meant to keep that to herself and she hoped no one would be offended by her correction.

The aromas drifting through the classroom were beginning to make Josie hungry. She bit her lip wondering what was coming next.

[maxx]

PIZZA WAS FROM GREECE!!! That he didn't know but it was O.K. Pizza was still consider to be Italian food though. Ice-cream, that was real good. It's wasn't good though. He didn't know anything about Ice-cream orginated from so it was from Italy. There was a lot of countries that used rice but they used it cool different ways. [/size]

[Harmony Lupin]

Harmony couldn't help but laugh at her beginner class. They where very entertaining. She loved it. Sushi being mentioned, she nodded. "Ah, I love sushi - it's very good" Harmony told them with a nod, though the thought of eating raw fish was disgusting to some people. "Despite it's rather horrible reputation it gets for being raw, it is actually good, considering they give you a lot of different sauces to dunk it it" she assured them with a nod, adding a few more spices into her frying pan.

When Pizza and Tacos where mentioned,Harmony nodded. "I'm not a fan of Tacos, to be honest. Doesn't appeal to me" she grinned a bit. "But Pizza? I think I can live off of" she told the whole class, giving a nod. She noted that the comment on the pizza was false information, and before she had a chance to correct Maxx, another student did. She grinned. "Correct Josie. Pizza did come from Greece. 5 points" she awarded. "If you ever go to America, you will discover that the pizza always has a different taste in every restaurant. It takes a while to actually get a very good one" she told them, being born and raised, for the most part in America.

Ice cream, another food that Harmony loves. It's amazing that she can eat so much junk food. "Ice cream - the devil's food I'm convinced" she told the class, grinning a bit. "You can woo anyone with Ice cream - except a certain few.On that note, does anyone here know the name for people who can't eat ice cream - or any dairy products for that matter?" she questioned.

[dragonguy93]

Tom heard the professor asking what are the people called that cant eat ice cream or other dairy products. Tom had many muggle friends even though he was pure-blood. Tom raised his hand "They are called lactose intolarate, people who cant eat any dairy products."

[maxx]

Maxx didn't know what are people called if they can't eat any dairy products. "Lactose Intolarate are like people who can't drink milk from any animal like cows and goats. Also that they can't eat cheese," Maxx stated another fact. That was all he knew about lactose intolarates.[/size]

[Harmony Lupin]

Harmony grinned. These students knew a lot - she supposed they had to actually interact with muggles while they where back with their families. Or something along those lines. Doing a fancy little trick with the food in the frying pan, Harmony nodded. "Excellent. I am very impressed - 5 points" she told Thomas with a nod. "Normally, people who have Lactose Intolarate get it at a younger age, and then eventually grow out of it" she explained, the smell of delicious smelling food filling the area around the room. "But in some cases it really does last with people a life time, and they have to have special milk products - such as soy milk"

Getting some plates, she continued. "Now. In this pan here we have vegetables, some chopped up meat..some seasonings..."Harmony turned off the fire for the moment. "any idea what it is?"
