Another year, and another term. It was the first lesson and the students we're going to learn about how muggles use for light. He hoped it wasn't going to be hard for the students, but then again it was only the first lesson. The main muggle person they we're going to learn about was Benjamin Franklin. Opening the classroom door, he knew he needed to write on the board for the students to write down about the muggle who discovered the electricity. Then sometime around the middle, he might tell him which muggle created the "light bulb". He walked toward the board and started to write. If anyone read it, it would of said: " Benjamin Franklin (January 17 1706 – April 17, 1790) was one of the most prominent of the Founders and early political figures, inventors, and statesmen of the United States. One of the earliest Founders, Franklin was noted for his curiosity, writings, ingenuity and diversity of interests. His wise and scintillating writings are proverbial to this day. He shaped the American Revolution; a leader of the Enlightenment, he gained the recognition of scientists and intellectuals across Europe and the United States." After he was done writing, he hoped that the students would take notes as they should to understand the life of this man. Walking to his desk and sat waiting for students' to arrive.

{Ack the same picture of the old Headmaster!!!}
Nic walked into the class, one of the only classes he would get an A or whatever the equivalent was when he read the board. "Aw, man! Not history. There goes my A!" Nic took a seat and let his head thump against the desk. "Aw Man, not first!"

Eva was excited for this class. She had taken Muggles Studies before, had never gotten into it. She was told that next summer they would perhaps spend it in muggle America. Sure, Eva had been to muggle Britain before, but she knew Americans and Brits were very different.
Making her way to the third floor, she found the classroom and opened the door. Immediately she saw the writing on the board. There was a picture, of someone she remembered seeing before but couldn't place a name on him, with writing below. Benjamin Franklin! she said, reading her birth and death dates. Looks like they were in for some history, and they were learning about electricity, if she remembered her schedual right.
Seeing a boy already there, she grinned at him, taking her seat.

Talia walked into the classroom, seeing she was one of the younger students to arrive, but she didn't mind, afterall she was there to learn, not to socialize. She walked to the second row, as always, and set up her stuff. Seeing as there was no one to talk to as of yet, she pulled out her quill and parchment, and jotted down the notes about this muggle man, Benjamin Franklin, and quickly drew a sketch of the man aswell... looked like maybe this class wouldn't be that boring... hopefully.

He walked in and looked around then saw the board, "Benjamin.. Franklin," he said to himself. Nope, it didn't ring a bell to Tristan. He looked around and saw Nic. He nodded. Then he looked over and saw two Hufflepuffs. He nodded.
He walked to his favorite seat that he picked out last term and sat. He looked saw that another girl was writing down the notes from the board. He did the same thing in thirty seconds with bad handwriting not like usual.

A knock resounded off the door, and it wasn't a timid one like a lost student's would be. Oh no, if one bothered to notice the Ministry seal on his robes, they would probably be able to surmise why he was there. However a brief word with the Professor was required before he could enter the room. Dabbage really detested having to scare the man out of his mind by sitting in on his lesson, but, orders were orders. And a couple of the aurors had the same ones as he.
Determine who is capable
His job was nauseating enough as is, he didn't particularly want to drag others into the melee between the Ministry and the school. His view was as a Liaison he was the link, everything went through him. This, sitting in on lessons certainly wasn't in his job description.
"In the name of Merlin I hope the man's in a decent mood." Armando muttered to himself as he surveyed the room. Four students, an even ratio of male to female, and a professor present, with more than enough time to spare for more to arrive, in his view he was satisfied.

Dean walked into the class to see it was mixed today. He noticed one other sixth year, Eva, was her name? Everyone else was either in fifth or fourth years. Dean glanced up to the board as he took a seat. " Ben Franklin. " He read aloud, remembering previously studying him in his last muggle studies course. He then read the paragraph below the name. Taking out a quill, ink and a bit of parchment Dean started jotting down notes.

Alexis entered the classroom to find out that there were not only fifth years, but fourth and sixth as well. Looking at the board, she saw a picture of some old person she never heard of. "Benjamin...Franklin?" she read out loud. "Vho in ze vorld was he?" she thought to herself. It's not like she would automatically know who old muggles were.
Sitting down, Alexis pullout of a quill and her notebook and started to copy down the notes on the board. "This vas going to be a fun class." Alexis thought sarcastically.

Looking at the Ministry person who just walked in, got Tristan furious. All he did was watch his every move. He didn't listen to anyone right now. He was sick and tired of the Ministry coming. Then he turned from a grin to a angry look. He of better calm down before class started.

"Can't we just get to know each other some more instead of this, man?" Charlie said as she already had her bag on the floor because evidently she couldn't hold her attention on other things while groaning about trivial things. "Come on, prof. We'll sit in a circle and I'll tell you guys about that one time I got hit by a bludger when I was playing qudditch on my roof."
She would have continued-- probably beckoning people into a circle and telling her story-- when she spotted the Ministry member. "Or not," she said rather quickly.

He wanted to annoy his professor by going up to the board but couldn't because he didn't want the Ministry thinking what's going on. "Professor Stern! Are we starting or what, we're all here!" he said to him. He didn't have a clue if everyone was here or not but he wanted to get this lesson done with already. He then grinned and waited for him to teach.
"Or I can teach myself to the class," he said to the Professor with a grin.

He looked at the time and seemingly it was time to start class. He stood up from his chair and pushed in it. He walked over to the board and looked at the class. He then looked at Tristan, "Mr. Howard, no student-teacher today," he said to him. Trevor didn't know how much sugar Tristan ate but all Trevor knew was that he better listen with that much energy.
"Welcome class, for those who don't know me. I'm Professor Stern. Today you'll learn about Electricity. We'll begin on how it was discovered which means the man you just saw on the board," he said pointing to the board. He looked around at the class to see if they we're paying attention. He then had to go on with the next plan. He then cleared his thoart and began.
"I think you should first learn what e-lect-tri-city is. Electricity is a property of matter that results from the presence or movement of electric charge. Muggle use it for light and pretty much on everything they to keep themselves alive. Electricity was discovered by Benjamin Franklin who which he did a dangerous attempt," he said. He looked around and so far so good.
"Benjamin Franklin actually flew a kite, which a kite is the activity of flying tethered man-made objects in wind. Anyways, he flew one during a thunderstorm which shocked him which he made many theories. Now we'll learn who Benjamin Franklin was. Now for 10 points, if anyone read. What three things was he noted for?" he asked the class to see who knew the answer.
((Classroom just started. Anyone who hasn't posted yet will be counted as LATE!))

Talia wondered how someone could be so stupid as to try and get themselves electrocuted... she then remembered something that her muggle friends had told her about this man, and she raised her hand, thinking she knew. It wouldn't hurt to get an extra 10 points for her house, why not start now? Oh well if she got it wrong, but she'd like to prove herself, especially in this class. She kept her hand raised, wondering if her answer was correct.

Tristan didn't read the board so he didn't know the answer. But Tristan really wanted to teach the class. "Bummer," he said. He then listened and it was a long lecture about one man and this "e-lect-tri-city". He had a lot of muggles stuff, and here thinking Tristan would ace this class, but didn't look lke it. He looked over a saw a girl Hufflepuff raise her hand for the question. Tristan kept looking at her.

Looking around for hands and he didn't see any yet. Until a Hufflepuff female raised her hand. "Yes, you," he said pointed to the girl with her hand raised. If he heard correctly around the school, the girl's name was Talia and it was on the roster so it must of been Taila Saphire. He waited until she answered the question. He then looked at Tristan and then some others to see what they we're up to.
