October heard Andie wonder aloud what the teacher wonder be like, though it was more to herself than anyone else, October shrugged in reply . "I'm not sure, by the look of him he doesn't seem like a strict teacher" she chuckled.
The rest of the class were beginning to file in now, most were looking with bright curiosity at the objects around the room, but a few paid little attention to them, they probably had no interest in muggle studies or had grew up with muggles, October thought.

Luna sat down with Illyanna and smiled at October. "This is going to be a good class," she said. She let her eyes travel over to their Professor. He did look very different from most of the other professors at Hogwarts, but she knew that you couldn't judge a book by its cover.
"What was it like to fly?" She asked October, she was sure that it was simply magical.

Dakota held his books close to his chest as he walked into Muggle Studies. He had been in the library during their break, looking for a new Muggle Studies book, since his father had gotten him an old hand-me-down one from his neighbor, who used to go to Hogwarts. It was quite comical, shortly after Dakota got to Hogwarts, the book's binding just kept getting more fragile, until, just this morning, it broke. And, Dakota certainly wasn't going to use a torn in half textbook. So, he picked up a spare in the library. Dakota walked up to Luna, and sat beside her. "Hey Luna!" He exclaimed, and placed his books in perfect order on his desk, and adjusted his pens to be completely straight. He heard part of Luna and October's conversation, and peered over. "Wait, you flew?" He pipped in, knowing it was none of his business. He couldn't help it though, he wanted to know how October flew. He knew Evvie Willows was a new addition to the class, and knew she was a fairy, but he wasn't sure if that had anything to do with it.

Luna turned to Dakota who just joined them. She smiled happily to see her friend. "Yes, October flew during the break in the courtyard. Everyone saw it. Evvie cast a fairy spell on October and it turned her into a fairy too. It was very amazing." Luna said, saying the last part in a whisper. Probably daydreaming about how it would feel for her to be able to fly like a fairy.
"Why weren't you in the courtyard Dakota? I didn't see you out there." Luna said, frowning slightly. I thought for sure that Wrackspurts might have gotten you."
"What are Wrackspurts?" Evvie asked, listening to some of Luna's conversation. Luna turned to Evvie, "Wrackspurts are little creatures that go inside your head through your ears. They make your mind go fuzzy and cause you to forget things." Luna replied.
Evvie was silent for a moment and then she giggled, "Maybe Umbridge will get attacked by Wrackspurts and she'll forget she's suppose to teach DADA!" She giggled.

October grinned at Luna "it really was amazing, it was the best feeling in the world, I felt so full of energy and carefree" she said enthusiastically.
October looked up at the boy who had just walked in and sat next to Luna she watched in interest as he lined his books and pencils neatly on his desk and smiled to herself, although October had noticed him in lessons she hadn't had the chance to meet him before, but she'd picked up that his name was Dakota.
Luna began to explain to him how she had flew, October nodded in agreement "yeh, I'm not sure what spell it was, I think it's fairy magic" she said "oh and it's nice to meet you Dakota" she finished smiling shyly and holding out her hand for him to shake.
October laughed when Evvie said she hoped Umbridge would get attacked by wrackspurts she couldn't imagine Umbridge wandering around in a daze, she always seemed to be so official and purposeful.

Hannah walked into class and noticed Ernie sitting by himself, she hurried forward to her friend and sat down next to him greeting him cheerfully.
Although Hannah was half blood she didn't know much about muggle's as her father (who was a muggle) had left before she was born, she wasn't sad about it, she and her mother got on quite fine without him.
Turning round in her seat Hannah noticed the blond haired girl, Luna or something, she had seen hanging around with harry potter. Luna was explaining about wrackspurts, what ever they were. "ohh they sound scary" Hannah exclaimed, hoping the little group behind her wouldn't find it rude that she was butting in, "how can you stop them?" she asked worriedly, and began playing with her hair s it covered her ears.

Dakota listened intently to the reasons to which October flew. It was remarkable, really. "I'm afraid of heights, so I would not be interested in that, however, it does sound like alot of fun." He smiled, and shook October's hand. Sure, he already knew her, but she obviously hadn't paid him any attention before now. Which, wasn't suprising, he was quiet all morning. "Ah, well Luna, you know that old hand-me down book I had before?" He spoke, and noticed the teacher had started to talk about a guitar. "Well, it broke this morning, you see, the binding was very fragile. So, I went to the library to find myself a new one, or just a temporary until i earn up enough money to actually buy a new one." Dakota's father and him were not poor, but it always seemed like the young boy got the butt of everything. His father was rarely home, for he had a gambling problem, and was often spending his money at casinos. And, Dakota didn't have much money of his own, besides the small sum that he had earned over the summer. "But, it would've been interesting had the wrackspurts gotten me, huh?" He smiled and looked up at Hannah Abbott, who had just pipped into their conversation. Hannah was nice enough, so Dakota didn't mind her even the slightest. "Oh they are scary." He joked, and peered over at Luna. "You can't stop them, they eat your brain before you can even notice!" He said spookily, and laughed softly. Sure, he was joking, but Hannah didn't know that. Or, she wouldn't, until Luna said something true about the wrackspurts.

"Wrackspurts don't eat your brain, they only like to sleep close to it. The only way to really scare Wrackspurts away is to use a siphon. My father has two of them just in case. They're invisible and so you don't know they're around until they fly through you're ears and then poof, you forget what you're talking about or what you were suppose to be doing." She informed Hannah, her face completely serious.
She turned back to Dakota and frowned, "I liked your old Muggle Studies book, I thought the torn binding added character. But I'm glad you were able to find a replacement." She said with a smile.

October giggled as Dakota said about the Wrackspurts eating your brain, she could tell he was joking, unlike Hannah who was looking utterly horrified at the thought.
"He's only joking" she whispered kindly to Hannah, who turned back round to face the front as the teacher began to speak, October thought she heard Ernie mutter something about Wrackspurts being nonsense.
"There's a party at the ROR tonight, would you like to come?" she asked Luna and Dakota. October felt bad for not speaking to Dakota before, but she wasn't very good with new people, espicially boys. Besides she wanted him to come to the party.

Evvie was amazed by the Muggle thing that the Professor was telling the students about. She had never seen one before. At first she thought it was a fancy hammer type thing, but then Professor Mear informed them that it was an instrument. She couldn't wait to hear what kind of music it played, Evvie loved music.
She watched as the Professor played a little song on it, the music was amazing, it made her want to get up and dance. Fairies loved to dance and loved almost all kinds of music. When the Professor stopped, Evvie raised her hand to ask a question.
"Professor, how do you play the ge-tar?" She asked, she pronounced wrong which caused some of the students to laugh, but Evvie didn't care, after all.. how was she suppose to pronounce it correctly when she didn't know what it was. All she knew was that she wanted to hear another song. Actually she wanted to try it out herself.

"Well, yeah my old book did have character.." Dakota trailed off, and shrugged. "But now, I'll actually be able to use it, and I'll be able to read all of the fine print. Remember my old one, you couldn't see anything cause it was so worn." He smiled, and patted his new Muggle Studies book. Dakota was excellent in Muggle Studies, him being Muggle born, and living in a relatively un-magical world. "Oh, there's a party tonight?" Dakota asked October, and shrugged. "I'm not sure if I'll go, I need to catch up on my studies, really." He admitted. It was true, every night he studied. That was how he kept an O in all of his classes. Even if it was the first day.
Dakota liked Evvie, she seemed to be a funny character, though she was a bit loud. It was no matter, she made the class interesting, and still learned, which was excatly what Dakota strived for.

Luna nodded, "It is important to be able to read your books, isn't it?" She said, looking at the book.
When October mentioned the party, Luna thought it was a great idea, but she had hoped that Dakota would go too. She liked Dakota because he was very smart but he never made fun of her or her magical creatures.
"I can help you with your studies before and after the party Dakota. If you want to go. I could use some extra studying too." Luna offered. Though Luna was really the type of person who didn't need to study in order to get good grades, they just seemed to happen.
She often wondered if there was some kind of creature that was the opposite of a Wrackspurt that flew into your brain and increased your IQ. She had to remember to ask her father later. Or maybe she'd ask Dakota, he was quite smart too.

When Luna asked Dakota about studying before, and after the party, Dakota really couldn't say no. After all, he would get to spend time with friends, and at the same time, know he would get some academic work over with. He wasn't one of those people who could just get good grades without thinking. Well, other than in the class of Muggle Studies. But, in every other class, he had to make the effort to try, insanely hard. Or else, he would fail. Dakota stared at the guitar with kind eyes, and looked back at his company. "I play guitar, you know." He admitted, and grinned. "Acoustic, though. Mostly." He smiled, and looked at Illyanna, who was doodling, and talking quietly to Andie. He liked Illyanna, and liked her brother, but Luna had recently said something about Kain being a vampire, and when you think logically, the assumption made sense.

October aplauded when the proffessor finished his song, but stopped quickly realising she was the only one clapping.
She frowned slightly when some of the class laughed at Evvie's mistake, though she herself had heard of a guitar she had never played one before and thought it perfectly understandable if Evvie hadn't heard of one.
"Why don't you ask if you can have a go?" she whispered to Evvie, seeing her look eagerly at the guitar as if it was a giant candy cane.
October nodded in reply to Dakota, "yes, that is very important" she said seriously "though I'm sure a few hours off won't hurt", she grinned as she said this. "I'm going to the library after class to finish off homework and read up on those plants we studied in herbology"
It was best to get studying done and out of the way first before the party, October thought, otherwise she would probably forget.
"oh! thats really cool, I play a few muggle instruments but I've never played guitar before" She said, genuinely interested, she loved the sound guitars made.

Luna smiled happily when Dakota agreed to go to the party, she was sure now that it was going to be very fun. However, now she had to figure out what to wear. It was interesting for her to worry about what to wear now since it never happened to her before. She really wasn't sure why.
"I've never played an instrument but they look really fun. Maybe you could teach me sometime Dakota?" She asked.
When October mentioned that she could play a few instruments she turned to her, "What all can you play?" She asked, very interested.
