oh mai! what the hell are THOSE?!

[cenizobelle]

Grady sat in his classroom, leaning back in his chair, grinning at the 10 grey boxes infront of him that muggles called computers.

Slowly the class filled the seats. They consisted of first years from Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Grady smiled at them and stood up. "Hi guys! Now. Can any of you clever peeps tell me what these are?" he asked gesturnig around at the grey boxes.

[.magnarock.]

Sophia's hand ventured up.
"Ur, Computers ,sir. But I thought electric stuff didn't work here?"

[cenizobelle]

"Well done Sophia, Brill. Have 10 magic points for that. And yes you are right, 'electric stuff' doesn't usually work, BUT, and this is a big but, our new Head has made an exception to that rule and has excluded this room from that spell. Have another 10 magic points for reading Hogwarts: A History. I found it tediously boring, but that's neither here nor there. On with the lesson." XD

[.magnarock.]

[hehe lols]
the students cautiously took their seats with remarks of 'do they bite/move/speak' and waited for grady to enlighten them

[cenizobelle]

Robyn sat down with the rest of the class, eyeing the grey creatures with suspicion. She decided that she'd better get out her wand, just in case.

Tenuka sat in between Meally and Sophia, giggling quietly. These 'computers', as Sophia had said, looked big and bulky and she wondered what the hell they were for.

Grady smiled at the class and sat on his desk. "Who here knows what a computer does?" he asked cheerily.

Pure blooded parents—

[.magnarock.]

[coolios! but how are raika/te and sicil not pure bloods lol?]
[make sure i remember the spoons tomorrow]

Sophia and Dom and Frances' hands all went up, smiling amongst themselves with the knowledge of muggleness.
"They do allsorts."
"Yeah, like, emails and msn and games and writing stuff-"
"-and spreadsheets and ebay and insurance and clothes."
A murmer went up from the class; these strange gray boxes could make clothes, and stories and games... this would be an interesting lesson.

[cenizobelle]

Grady's smile got bigger. "Yeh, that's good guys. Five points to Gryffindor. Anyways, cus you guys know what you're doing," Grady flicked his wand at one of the computers; it turned on, "you can start messing, i mean, working, yeh, working on that one."

He turned to the rest of the class as the three Gryffindors got slowly from their seats and sat infront of the computer. "Now you lot. I want you to divide into pairs please. I am aware that there will be a three, so to stop arguments and people feeling left out, i'm going to put you into groups. Okay-"

There was a loud groan from the class.

"Okay . . ." Grady continued
"Lucas, you're with Clair on Computer 2. Nigel and Sadie, Computer 3. Tenuka and Reid, Computer 4. Darius and Auria, Computer 5." He listed.
The rest of the class fell into these groups:
Amelia and Duncan - pc 6
Etienne and Kye - pc 7
Kizetta and Jake - pc 8
Tara, Rhys and Robyn - pc 9

"And all you have to do is turn it on." he said simply, smiling. "Oh, and no wands alowed, so i want you all to put them on your desks please." XD

[.magnarock.]

The class groaned and placed their wands ruefully onto the desks whilst the three who knew how to work the strange beasts giggled away at the glowing box that had popped up.

[mely]

Darius stared at the grey box... he grinned sheepishly at Etienne's twin, attempting a jocular start to the pair work. She stared stonily at him, with the same expression one might give a dying rodent.

She was tempted to reach out and turn the thing on but she was overcome with a desire to watch the Gryffindor struggle. This being a rather uneventful course of action, her sense of entertainment was soon dissolved by disinterest. She leant back on her chair, so that the front two legs came of the ground and flicked her eyes over the classroom.

'ugh! this is so unfair! why couldn't he put us in the three'

she smiled at the distinctive sound of Etienne's thought-voice. She sounded rather pissed off. She shifted her gaze and noticed, to her surprise, Kizetta laughing at some joke that the moron she was working with had made. She looked back at Darius with the slightest slytherin curl to her top lip, frustrated at being cut off Robyn.

Darius was concentrating purposefully on the grey box, not because he cared in the slightest, but because he was trying to ignore the creepy feeling he got when Etienne's twin looked at him. 'slytherins are so... creepy'
