Re: First Class

Christy smiled at Abbey's answer and then just glanced at Selwyn's answer. Really what a tacky way to answer how muggles communicate. Couldn't he have said they communicate by using body language, which is common knowledge that was how everyone tended to communicate. She pulled out her cell phone. "Professor, if you wish to show this to the class feel free to show them my cell phone." she said handing him the blue LG Env 3 which flipped open to reveal a full keyboard, which was perfect for texting. Even though she was only a teaching assistant, she felt the need to show the class this piece of muggle technology.

"What's that?" Selwyn asked loudly. "It looks elektrick."

He smiled with sudden malice.

"Matt, you know how they say elektricy and magic don't mix? Well, do you think if I did a spell - a simple one, like a levitation spell - on that thing, do you think it would work?"

Christy smiled and looked at Selwyn, "Its called a cellular phone." she replied holding it out to him, "Accio it if you wish." she said looking at him, "I do all the time, the most it does is to turn the phone off which you can just press a button to turn it back on." she said laughing a little.

"Yes indeed I've been telling my self to get on of those"He laughed.
"Now yes most spells work on muggle technology. Like Cellular or as
I'm told Cell Phones."

With a surge of curiosity, Selwyn took the device from Christobelle and began pressing buttons at random. Of course, nothing happened to the phone, as Hogwarts' dense magical field prevented any muggle technology from working on the grounds. After a few moments, he handed it back.

"I think the protean galleons Weasley's Wizard Wheezes sells are more useful," he opined. "Don't have to spend all your energy pressing buttons and they work anywhere."

Christabelle laughed, the phone probably didn't work for him since the buttons on it were locked. She took the phone back, "Would any body else like to see?" she asked curiously holding the phone up for the class. "I mean if thats alright with you Professor."

"I've got another one- simpler, cheaper, but has all the same functions." James Wake pulled a Nokia 6555 from his pocket, a lighter model that had only nine buttons. "Texting with it is a pain, but the basic functions all work well on it."

"And, might I add, it looks a lot more natural to whip out a cell phone rather than use a Cauldron for all of your on-the-go calls," he smirked to the fourth-year-Slytherin. "Muggles could be more resourceful than most wizards when it comes to all of this technology. Some things in the Muggle world make the Wizard World look backward."

Selwyn snorted.

"Depends who you are," he said, "and who the person judging you is."

"Besides, none of those things actually work here, do they?" he went on. "I'd have thought you Ravenclaws would be smart enough to know that already."

"I don't think thats a way to talk to people, especially a teaching assistant to the class you're in." she said looking at Selwyn. "Besides the fact you need to know these types of things for when you're in the muggle world. They already think us strange enough without us not knowing about their technology."

by James Wake Sun Sep 20, 2009 4:12 pm

"It's called Modifying. Just add on little magical functions like a video conferencing and Cauldron cross-platforming, and it works just fine. I don't actually use it in School or anything, but it is nice to know you can use certain... objects without any real hindrence."
That was what James wanted to retort, but he kept his mouth shut as Ms. Whittle slammed down on him for being fresh. She also made a good point- most Wizards did not know how to wear jeans. That was just sad.
