''That will be fine Mr. Slither, 10 points for Ravenclaw. Now, to finish this short introductory lesson of ours. A Muggle is a person who is born into a non-magical family and is incapable of magic. Most Muggles are not aware that magic exists at all, and that those with it have organized their own society largely separate from the Muggle world. Muggles are not to be confused with Squibs, who also lack magic but are born into magical families and are aware of the wizarding world.
Their way of life is also largely different since they cannot do their usual chores by using Magic, like we can. Since today's lesson is not about Muggles in detail, which we will discuss on class two, I shall only give you an introductory lesson about what Muggle Studies is. It is exactly what the name implies - the study of the daily lives of Muggles and how they cope with not being magical. This class aims specifically to acquaint wizards and witches who do not have direct contact with Muggles with the way they live. It deals in detail with every aspect of their lives, with how they live, how they work, how they cope with nature, their nature in general, their history and culture and the differences between Muggles and Wizards. These fields are very important for understanding Muggles and my O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. students learn about all of these fields in detail. You, as basic levels, only learn some general facts.
Regarding their purpose, well, the subject is by many considered to be stupid and irrational, but those are the people who have prejudice against Muggles. Those people are not welcome in this classroom, nor in the wizarding world if you ask me, and I will punish any kind of negative prejudice against Muggles in my classroom. Learn to accept differences students, because that is the only was you will be able to cope with life'', he said, finishing the lesson.
He went back to his desk and sat down. ''That is all for today class. You will all receive an O for today's participation, while the ones who did not arrive will get a T. I will also award 10 more points for Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. For your homework, 3 paragraphs minimum about Muggles, as a preparation for the next lesson. The Homework is due to MONDAY, OCTOBER 26. Miss Isadora, I will see you on detention today after class. Class dismissed and see you next week.'', Wilson said.
