Muggle Studies for Fifth Years

I walked into class, bored as anything. I took my usual seat, with an empty seat on my right and some random Gryffindor boy on my left. I cast an annoyed look at him, because he was retelling his most recent fight with a Slytherin in utmost detail and with an extremely loud voice. I hoped fervently that someone nice would sit on my right so that I could talk to him or her and ignore the obnoxious boy. He was in my house, but sometimes it got annoying, the amount of duels that went on in the hallways. I sighed as the Professor walked in, waiting for the lesson to start.

Sauntering, I walk into the classroom. Boring lesson. Boring lesson. Why did I chose for this class, in Gods name? I'm almost a muggle. And it's not nice to sit here, when you know everything about it. And it will being completely stupid if everyone is here, and everyone gives comments on all and everything.
'Oh, allright, that seat', I say in myself, and I flop in the seat. I refrain myself so call 'and we can start!' but I don't do, because I know the professor would be mad, if I do that

I looked across at the girl who plonked down on my right. She was pretty and looked about as bored with the lesson as I was. Possibly more. Something told me that she knew everything we were going to learn. So did I - I read Muggle books and watched Muggle movies just for fun, and they were a lot more entertaining than mum's Charm Your Own Cheese cookbooks or reruns of Celestina Warbeck concerts. I glanced at the professor to make sure that she was occupied, and chanced a whisper. "Hey, I'm Danika."

I see that the girl who's next to me, looks at me. "Hey, I'm Danika", she says.
"Hi." I say, and I look at her. "I'm Janice." I see she's bored too. I can understand. There's nothing fun to this lesson. Yej, we know what muggles do. We already know! Maybe any Slytherins should do this lessons, but not we! It was our own choice, of course, but no one said to us this was so boring. ''You're a Gryffindor, aren't you?'' I ask. I know she is, but it's more friendly to ask it than just say it. And besides, if I just say it, it can be sound as 'you're a Gryffindor, so you're inferior.' and I don't want to sound like that.

"Yes, I'm in Gryffindor." I said, smiling. This Janice girl seemed really nice. "And you're in Hufflepuff?" I half-asked, half-said, because I knew all the Gryffindor fifth year girls and she wasn't one of them. I turned my attention back to the head of the class as the Professor told us to write a three foot essay on Muggle Transportation and she walked out. There were still 45 minutes left for the class to get over, but I guess the Professor got tired of the Gryffindor war stories being told. It was unorthodox, but I shrugged and started working on the essay immediately. I wasn't a nerd, but I didn't see the point in letting all the homework we got pile up. I dipped my quill into the ink pot and began to write.

'Indeed.' I say. 'I'm in Hufflepuff' the Professor glances mad, so I pay attention to the lesson, as Danika -or I think that was her name- does. The professor gives her explenation, says we must write a three foot essay by the next lesson, and leaves the classroom. Danika begins almost directly, and I don't see a reason to do not do that too. I begin:

Muggles has got a lot of transport. For instance, a car, a bicycle, or a motorbike, a bus, a train, ....
I think the car is the easiest way to go away for the holidays, or just on a normal school- or weekendday. You can go anywhere you want with the car, and it's not very wearily.
You can go with a bike too, but that's a lot more wearily, because you should pedal by yourself.
Then, you've got the train...

I look around the classroom. My essay is far from ready. Almost everyone is writing, exept 2 Slytherin-girls. I sigh. Why do they choose for this class if they're not interested? Pff, it's their own disicion. I continue writing.

I smiled when I saw that everyone was doing the essay - except the Slytherins that is. I shrugged and smirked when I thought of the overload of homework that they would face. With a flourish, I finished the first foot of my essay. Twelve inches of tiny handwriting. It wasn't much. But I had two free periods left and I could easily finish the other two feet and still have an ample amount of time left over. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, accidentally tousling it a bit. I leaned back in my seat and looked over at Janice. "So, you hate this class too?" I wasn't a dimwit. I'd read her body language. She obviously was as knowledgeable of the course as I was. I scanned my essay while I waited for her reply. It was nothing complicated. Just a rudimentary diagram of a modern-day car, the mechanics and working of an engine, and a couple reasons why magic was much more efficient, including the percentages of annual petroleum costs and a graph or two thrown in for fun. I smiled. Yep, I'd finish it later.

[I'm sorry for the late reaction, and the short reaction, but I haddn't much time]

When I ended my first foot, I lay my quill down. I would do the other foots later. I don't like essays. The problem is, professors likes it, and they don't take into account the students. And thats not fun.
"So, you hate this class too?" Danika ask me.
"I shouldn't call it 'hate', but yeah, something like that. It's boring as anything. Sure this lesson." I say. Maybe she knows I'm a 'mudblood', and maybe not. But I don't care, it's not important.

I smiled at her. "Yeah, this lesson seems kind of boring. So what do you like to do in your free time?" I asked. "I like doodling and drawing and stuff." I pointed to the spare bit of parchment I had on my desk. Already the sketch of Janice was taking shape. It needed a little shading, maybe some color, but I liked the way it looked. I sighed and stretched my arms out in front of me. I was extremely tired, but I continued with the picture. Falling asleep in class wouldn't be doing me any favours. I added a couple of bold strokes for the eyes, filling in the deep lashes that made her look so wide-eyed and innocent. As the bell rang, I flicked the picture onto her desk, gave her a half-smile, and walked out.
