Hello class! Welcome to Muggle Studies! I am Professor Burbage and I will be your teacher for learning the ways of the muggles. Now to learn properly about muggles, I will need you to direct your attention to the blackboard.

Black Board

1. You must wear muggle clothes
2. No wands
3. Do not use Magical vocabulary

Let me explain about those rules. Number one: This means that you will be switching your Hogwarts cloaks for muggle jackets. Number two: This means that no wands will be allowed to enter my classroom. All wands will be left in the coatroom in your bookbag. Number three) This means that no spell words will be allowed, no words like muggle, we will all be talking like muggles. Now I want you to take a little quiz on how much you know about muggles. Each question you get right equals 20%. You have ten minutes. Go!

I wanted to use this class to discuss what a beast is. For those of you who completed your homework of reading the introduction of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, you will know that the final decision on what was a beast and what was a being was defined by Grogan Stump, Minister of Magic 1811, as "[a being is] any creature that has sufficient intelligence to understand the laws of the magical community and to bear part of the responsibility in shaping those laws".
Those that were classified by beasts are studied under the science of Magizoology. I now want you to take out your quill and choose a creature that you feel is unfairly classified as beast. Try to persuade me why.

Quills away now, please. You can hand up your scrolls to me if you have finished, but if you haven't finished, it is now your homework. Class is dismissed.

Good day, class. I hope that you have been practicing your 'swish' motion. Let me see it now as I come around. Just take your wands out and continue practicing the swish. Good, good, very good, you'll be levitating in no time with a swish like that! Try starting a bit more upwards there, very good! Now, class, we will be learning the movement of 'point'. Start with your wand vertical. Now, lower your wand until it is horizantal and pointing at the thing that you are aiming for. If you were casting a spell, you would say the spell as your wand came down. Practice that movement until it is nice and smooth. Class, the next step is to combine the two. This will be called 'swish, point'. First start your wands in the 'swish' starting position. Swish your wands down and up, then point them from this position. Now please practice that until it is one smooth motion.


Thank you class, that will do. I hear the bell ringing and it is time to go. Please put away your wands.

Homework Practice 'swish, point'.

Now, I will go easy on you all, since this is you first night and I know that you all must be very tired. I will just show you two constellations and then let you try to find them in the sky.
Let's try to find the two dippers, or ursa minor and ursa major. You can find a picture of them here.
Study that picture, then please follow me to the top of the tower.

Gaze upward and try to find the dippers. Once you have found them, take out your quill and parchment and draw their positions in the sky.

Has everyone draw the positions? Good. Please give me your star charts and go back to your dormitories for a good nights sleep. There will be no homework.
