Muggle Studies Classroom

"Miss Casillas!" Eglantine turned around slowly and smiled. "It is good to see you. I was worried. Were you injured during your abduction?"

"Oh no." Diana said. But she had her wand loosely at her hand. She wasn't injuried but she'd now always be alert. "I'm fine."

"I was just wondering if you could answer some of my questions?"

Eglantine noticed the wand, but was both too tired and too concerned to comment on it.
"Of course." she said softly, motioning to her desk and the chair in front of it.

Diana took a deep breathe and asked the questions that have been plaguing her since she was abducted. "Why did Voldemort want me? and What was that thing that he drank?"

"He wanted you for testing reasons. It was a simple potion." Eglantine assured her. A partial lie, but it would not do to have the student worry.

"Testing reasons?" Diana shivered. That didn't sound like fun. Diana wanted to ask more but it seemed like the Professor didn't want to say anything else. Diana nodded and decided to leave. "See you later, Professor."

"Sleep well, Miss Casillas."

Eglantine entered the classroom and was greeted by absolute silence, something that had not existed the last class.
Hoping that none of the students would notice that she was limping heavier than normal, she made her way to the board and began writing with her floating chalk.

"Last class we discussed Means of Transportation. We will continue on that same topic." She watched as the students began to scratch their quills against paper.
"Now who can list at least two types of muggle transportation. We mentioned several in the last class period?"

Amy and Aiden both raised their hands.

"Cars and Trains" voiced Aiden

" Boats and Planes" said Amy

Professor DeLanquar nodded as the charmed chalk wrote the four answers on the board.
"Very good Miss Avalon...Mr. Avalon."

Accioing a case from her office, Eglantine opened it with magic and enlarged several magical pictures. The first one was of a car, driving along a country road.
"This is what muggles refer to as a car. It comfortably fits four to five people and this particular model can travel 200 Kph."

The picture was replaced with another from the case, which she enlarged as well. A large luxury cruiser was pulling out of the harbor with hundreds of waving flags and banners flapping in the wind.
"This is the launching of the USS Liberty. It is a luxury liner designed to carry as many as 500 people across the Atlantic Ocean. It has a pool, tennis courts, restaurants and even a shopping mall."

As she prepared the next picture of a plane, Eglantine surveyed the class. "Remember to take notes on what I say about these pictures." she urged subtly.

"This is a Boeing 747, one of the first airplanes to be commercially used." She began to flip through the rest of the pictures. There was a train, which she compared easily to the Hogwarts Express, a truck which she stated was basically the same as the car only designed differently.

Several spasms of pain coursed through her entire body and Eglantine stumbled backwards, her cane catching her before she could fall over. Regaining her balance, she turned back to her class.

The homework began to write itself on the board and she was glad to have the class finished.

"Please copy down the homework. Class dismissed."
