James waited for his students to arrive. He was in the usual attire, well it was usual for him, pair of black slacks, bright blue button up long-sleeved shirt, and black dress shoes. He was excited to get his first class at Hogwarts underway. Sitting behind a desk at the front of the class, with his feet propped up on top of it, he was playing on one of the muggle hand-helds that he had brought with him and charmed, so that it worked in this area of the castle. Currently e-mailing one of his friends that he use to teach with in a muggle high school. Still quite aware of what was going on around him. He had a great lesson planned for them and couldn’t wait to get started.
The room was decorated in a way that gave away the subject that was on today’s agenda. Sitting on his desk in a neat row were a couple of cell phones, PDA’s, and walkie talkies. There was even a laptop computer flipped open on his desk so that he could show the students how e-mails were sent. He knew that some of them might have come from some type of muggle background and were using this class as a ‘soft’ alternative, but then they would just have to suffer through the boredom.
Finishing with his e-mail pulled open one of his desk drawers and carefully sat the hand-held down into it, it was his personal one and he had no intention of letting the students get a hold of it. Still leaning back a smile came over his face as he waited for the students to show up.

Jynx made his way up to the muggle studies classroom hoping that todays lesson would be some what entertaining. He hadn't ever really met the professor for the class and was interested to see what he was like. Reaching the door he pulled it open and peered inside. He had been around Muggle stuff before, but all the same was up for anything just as long as it proved entertaining. Plus his experience only gave him an advantage with the homework and in class discussions. Walking into the classroom he noticed immediatly that this professor wasn't going to be quite like all of his others. He seemed to have a relaxed air about him giving off the preception that this was going to be a fun class. He gave a quick hello to the professor and then walked over to a seat near the back and sat down.

As Matty walked through the classroom, think if her class choices had been good, a great surprise hit her. When she had properly entered the room, she relised that today they must be working on electronic devices. After gazing around for a moment or two, Matty looked up to the Professor, who looked quite relaxed. She gave him a quick smile before looking around to discover Jynx. "Morning Jynx" she said with a grin on her face, it seemed that they were all in the same classes. As Matty sat herself down next to Jynx she took looked back to him saying "Cool huh? Have you ever used this type of stuff?"

Jynx turned as Matty entered the classroom. Smiling he said, "Hi Matty," and gave a small wave of his hand. He was glad to see that Matty had showed up to his Muggle Studies class, this meant that she was in all of his classes now and that he would have someone to talk to during all of them. "Well kind of, but only a little bit when I see my dad using it." he continued looking over at all of the muggle stuff. He hadn't really used a lot of it before but knew what a couple of the things were and how to use them.

Talia was glad that maybe she wouldn't feel like the youngest in her grade anymore, and maybe be able to see people she recognized. She walked into the classroom to spot two younger Hufflepuffs, Jynx... and Matty, if she remembered correctly. She glanced at the different things scatered about and wondered what the heck they were. She came from a pure blood family, born and raised, and wondered what it was that they would be doing today.
She nodded a quick hello to the Professor, and made her way to her class mates. "Hey guys." She said, as she sat down on the other side of Jynx. She smiled and took out a quill, ink, and parchment, knowing she wanted to be ready for class.

Kylie made her way to perhaps her easiest class on her schedule, muggle studies. She was muggle born so this class would be a breeze for her, that was the main reason for taking it. Walking into the classroom she noticed that there were already three people there. Two of whom she had met before and one who she couldn't remember meeting yet. She walked over to the group a small smile came across her face as she noticed the professor leaning back in his chair with his feet propped up onto his desk. "Afternoon, everyone," she said with a small and cheerful wave.

"Cool!" Charlie exclaimed the minute she spotted the gadgets as she entered the classroom. Going up to the desk, she picked up a PDA and looked at it upside down. "Where's the dial on this thing? Do you get that one screen that always has an ABC in the corner?" She looked behind it, and back at the little screen. It as obvious that she thought that they invented tiny television sets with numbers on them.

He walked in and saw a few people. "Oh we're with the third and fourth year's today," he said. He then took a seat where he was always at. He then looked around and saw no professor but a man. "Uh, where's Professor Stern?" he asked. Was this guy subsituting for him? He wondered why. He hoped it wasn't complicated. He then waited for anyone's response. He then thought for a moment to wonder why he wasn't here. But he didn't know so he got the thought out of his mind.

Professor Norbrook continued to lean back in his chair with his feet up for the first couple of students that had walked in. Then taking his feet down and sitting up in his chair behind his desk he watched as one curious Slytherin picked up one of the PDA's that he had set out for the lesson today. "No, Ms........," he paused and waited for the Slytherin to inform him of her last name. "That is not a tiny television set it is a muggle PDA, which we will get to in do time." He didn't really mind that she had come up to examine the PDA and was glad to see someone showing enthusiasm and interest in the class.
Turning his attention away from the Slytherin girl playing with his electronic devices he watched as Gryffindor boy entered his classroom. Deciding to ignore his first comment about being with the third and fourth year students he said, "Mr. Stern is no longer teaching this class for reason known to him, therefore, I will be taking it over from this point on."
Rifling through his desk he found a box of pencils and a dozen or so muggle notepads. "While were waiting for the last of the stragglers to come in I am going to pass these out to each of you and explain what they are going to be used for." With this he got up for his chair and walked out from behind his desk passing out the notepads and a couple of pencils to each student that was there. "You are going to use these," he held up a pencil and a notepad, "to complete any homework that may be assigned to you during this class. I want you all to be aware that I will not be excepting any homework that is not written out using what I have given you." They may think that it was an odd request having them fill out their homework this way, but he thought since it was a Muggle Studies class they do it the way a muggle would.

Talia eyed the equipment with interest as this new Professor handed them out. She smiled and though this would be cool, after he explained what the items were used for. She was liking this new Professor more and more. She picked up the pencil in her left hand, it was like a quill... except... different. She eyed it, and looked at the... parchment? She looked to the Professor with questioning eyes as he passed out the rest of the items to the other students, "What are these things called." She said, holing up both the pencil and paper in both hands, to indicate what she was talking about.

Matty looked over to the Professor, she liked him. As he walked by she noticed that he was handing out note pads and and pencils. 'Not a problem' she thought, the fact was that Matty would often use a pencil and normal paper when she would sketch or write a poem at home. She hopefully looked up to the Professor and said "Thanks" taking her note pad and pencil. Putting away her quill and parchment Matty looked over to Jynx and gave him a smile, before gazing out the window.

Jake grinned as he walked in on the class to see the new Professor handing out pencils and notepads. Being muggleborn and all, Jake knew what these were, he had used them for so long. But he had wanted to take this class to see how wizards viewed muggles. Taking a seat next to Talia, Jake said, " Thank ya. " As he got handed a pencil and a notepad. He set his bag on the floor next to his feet and shrugged slightly, thinking they were going to have to take notes or something of that nature other than doing the homework assignments.

"Jones, at yer service," Charlie said as she frowned when she was told it wasn't a little TV. "What's the point of this for, then?" She said as she put the PDA down.
Looking at the notepad and pencil given to her, she wrote her name on it the notepad, very glad that she had gone with the pointy side for writing. She had seen these things before, for her father used them when he used to work in Muggle newspapers, but she had never really had much use for them herself.

Jynx thought that the paper and notepad would be a sinch for him since his dad was a muggle, and all he ever used was paper and pencil. Taking the notepad and pencils from the professor as he walked by Jynx mumbled a quick thanks and then began to write his name on the notepad. He flipped it open so that he would be ready to take notes on it when the time came. Thinking that the only trouble he might have with this part of the class was keeping track of the pencils. Oh well if he lost them he would just have to write home for more.

Jack walked in just in time for the professor to hand him a pencil and a pad of paper. He hadn't been planning on attending the class since he hadn't made it to the first lesson, but decided that it would give him more of an option when it came to career choice. He had no intention of going into anything to do with muggles, but still the experience was what was important to him. He loved to learn about everything, well almost everything, History of Magic had yet to prove of any importance to him but he still went. Mostly because it was required but still he forced himself not to skive off the lessons.
His paper and pencil in hand Jack took a seat at the back of the room not wanting to disturb the class anymore than he had already done; though he wasn't even sure that class had begun yet, but best not to take any chances.
