DADA for Muggles [Wednesday]

Sirius (who had spent the weekend as a Man on the Run, Falsely Accused of Murdering His Best Friend (in other words, himself, camped in front of the wizarding chess board)), was leaning against his normal desk as the students arrived.

"In our last class before examinations, we decided to focus on certain dark arts that are pervasive in the Muggle world," he said.

Of course, a wizard's perception of what was off in the Muggle world was probably a little skewed itself.

And Remus (who had spent the weekend as a Man with a Dark Secret, Who Has Severe Intimacy Issues and Also is a Werewolf (see above re: Sirius)) gave the class a serious look as he straightened his posture. "We don't have these things in our world, so really, this class is for you to help educate us, in a way. We've battled a few dark things while here, and would like your perspective on how to deal with them. For instance," Remus began pacing, his hands clasped behind his back, "I can only assume that this 'meter maid' creature is a very dark being indeed, as when we parked Sirius' motorbike on the mainland a few weeks back, we received a ticket for seemingly no reason, and were told that that was the source."

Sirius nodded solemnly. "As well as the vicious snack machine that took five of my dollars," which was still ridiculous. Everyone knew Galleons made more sense as a currency, "and refused to give me my crisps."

"Not to mention this," Remus waved his wand, and levitated a DVD player over to them. He pressed the Eject button, and while the machine whined and spat a bit, nothing came out. "That, I will have you all know, is a very interesting documentary on paper-making. And now I will never truly be able to watch it, since this machine seems to have eaten it, and I also can't watch anything else."

Sirius wasn't all that upset about the paper-making documentary being eaten, truth be told, but he wanted to watch the film with the pretty witches again, and so therefore the machine was clearly cursed in some manner. "Those are just a few examples," Sirius concluded, "but I'm sure you all--having had more exposure to the Muggle world--can come up with others. If you could also tell us the counterjinx for these three, Professor Lupin and I would be quite grateful."

Alex wasn't really into the lecture today and he really couldn't pinpoint why. He found himself drowning out most of the lecture, only hearing snippets here and there and concentrated on his own messy thoughts.

"The goddamn DMV," Alex said, making a face. If you wanted to drive, you had to deal with them and they were awful. "And I don't think there is a counterjinx. You take the pain if you wanna drive."

"They're probably a subsidiary of h-e-l-l." Diana helpfully suggested.

Priestly was inordinately pleased with today's lecture. He could use a little comedy in his life, this week.

"Prodding things usually works. You'd be surprised how many computers start working after you smack them a few times." Diana said cheerfully. "Oh and Vista. Vista is evil."

"Wouldn't surprise me," Alex agreed, shaking his head. "I hate that place."

"Nintendo," Priestly said, not because he thought it was evil, but because, well, he liked messing with people, and the teachers were asking for it. "The smaller it is, the more dangerous. It eats kids' souls. Only cure is a really thick, boring book."

Dinah was still in a Seriously Good Mood today, so she said, "Parking garages are actually some kind of weird Twilight Zone. They fold and move and when you come back, you can't find your bike. That's why they invented chirpy keys to defeat them."

Francine: not an expert in high tech. But. When Certain DVDs got stuck in the player? It was amazing how fast she could become one, on this very specialized issue.

"Try a paper clip," she suggested. "There's usually a little hole you can stick it in." This was her helpful face.
