 ”Hello Students, I am going to be your muggle studies professor this term. I am Professor Millicent. I am from an all wizarding family, though when I was attending Beauxbatons Academy I found I had a liking for Muggle Studies, I received my apprenticeship in muggle studies in France and then moved to the United Kingdom to work at the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office at the Ministry of Magic. I left the Ministry because I was not enjoying the work there and applied to teach here at Hogwarts to help us Witches and Wizards understand the Muggles and live in harmony with them. This is my third term teaching and there will be a few changes from last term. We have a text book that I will be requiring all students to bring to class each time we meet, you may purchase one for one Galleon upon leaving class today. {{to get a text book role play your purchase of it}} The Text is entitled Muggledom the and the magical world by Magnold Mundane.” She finished holding up a copy of the book.

*Lessons/ Assignments* *Beginning Class Lesson 1 * “The study of muggles is essential to the magical world, students.” Said Professor Millecent entering the classroom and starting the very first lesson for the beginning Level students.
Importance of Muggles and their Relation to the Magical World appears on the board as Professor Millecent continues with her lesson.
“The study of muggles is very important because they are human beings too, they are possible partners in life and can expand our knowledge of the world. When one cannot use magic, knowledge of the muggle ways of life can help us get by undetected and it is the understanding of those who are not like us.
I am a firm believer of the old adage that you treat others how you want to be treated, and that is the approach I take toward Muggles. Yes, there are some Muggles that are anti-magic, while there are some wizards that are anti-muggle, these are bias’s that I strive to change within the course of the class. The Study of Muggles is crucial, for without the knowledge of Muggles, us witches and wizards, may not be able to survive. There are more than a fair amount of muggle-born Witches and wizards that have done great things, and plenty of half muggle witches and wizards who have done great things for both the wizarding and muggle communities. Such as Hermione Granger who was crucial in aiding Harry Potter and Ron Weasley in their Destruction of Voldermort’s horcruxes and the subsequent defeat of Voldemort. Also, for eradicating pro-pureblood laws at the Ministry of Magic and campaigning for the rights of non-human beings such as house-elves, as so stated on her Chocolate Frog Card.” She said taking a look around the classroom for any hands and or questions any of the students may have.
“Muggle-borns inherit magic from a distant ancestor; they descend from Squibs who married Muggles and whose families eventually lost the knowledge of their magical heritage. The magic resurfaces unexpectedly many generations later. For example, the late Professor Slughorn suggested that muggle-born, Hermione Granger, could be related to Hector Dagworth-Granger, a famous potioneer. Other known muggle borns that attended Hogwarts are Mary Cattermole no known Magical relations besides her children Maise, Eloise & Alfred; Penelope Clearwater with no known Magical relations; Colin & Dennis Creevey with no known Magical relations; Dirk Cresswell the late husband of Madame Pomfrey but no blood relations that are magical; Kendra Dumbledore mother to Albus, Aberforth and Arianna Dumbledore; Lily Potter mother to Harry Potter; Justin Finch-Fletchley with no known Magical relations; & Ted Tonks father to Nymphadora Tonks.” She read from the text. * Beginning Class Lesson 1 Assignment* 1. Why is the study of Muggles important?
2. Where do Muggle borns get their magic?
3. Name three Muggle borns that attended Hogwarts and who they are related to that is are at least half-blood?
4. How can knowledge of Muggles help wizards and witches?
5. Name one Muggle-born that has a Chocolate Frog Card, in their name and why they have the card?
Lesson 1 due: 10-1-11
*Intermediate Class Lesson 1 * Overlapping of the Muggle and Magical Worlds
The Muggle and magical worlds are tied together in some ways. For instance, Muggles sometimes marry wizards or witches and thus become aware of the wizarding world, as occurred with Mr. Finnigan, Seamus Finnigan’s father, when he married a witch. Muggles also occasionally produce a magical child. In Britain, these Muggle-born wizards and witches will often join the wizarding world when they are invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Their parents will thus be informed of the existence of the wizarding world, and may even enter it on occasion, as Mr. and Mrs. Granger did when they accompanied their daughter and the Weasley family to Diagon Alley to shop for school supplies in 1992.
Some Muggles are aware of the magical world but, through choice, choose to ignore it, such as Vernon Dursley, who was aware his sister-in-law was a witch but otherwise remained intentionally ignorant of the wizarding world until forced to recognize it with the arrival of his nephew, Harry Potter.
In addition, there are secret connections maintained between the two societies at the governmental level; for example, the Minister for Magic occasionally consults with the Prime Minister of Great Britain on issues affecting both societies, and it's clear that the Prime Minister is aware of the wizarding world. Each Prime Minister, on the day appointed to office, gets a visit from the current Minister for Magic. The visit encompasses telling the Prime Minister of the existence of magic and that they will only ever need to meet when there is something going on in the wizarding world that might affect the muggle world. * Intermediate Class Lesson 1 Assignment* Write a parchment on the overlapping of the muggle and magical world, include personal experiences if available.
(1 parchment= 1Paragraph {at least three sentences})
Lesson 1 due: 10-1-11
*Advanced Class Extra Credit Option* Important Muggle Borns of the Wizarding World
Excluding Hermione Granger, name as many muggle borns that are well known in the Wizarding world as you can. Please turn in the assignemnt as you would anyothre assignemnet but this option is only available for 3 days and advanced students only.
Extra Credit due: 9-22-11

Professor Millecent sits at her desk as James and Amelia apply for the class ."James, you have taken Beginners and Intermediate, you may retake intermediate, but you are also eligible for the advanced class. Amelia, you will be enrolled in the Beginning Class." She marked in her grade book, that Amelia was beginners and waited for James' reply as to which class he will be in. (I did not forget to mention which class students can be in, I will notify each student as they apply which level they will be in.)
