Chapter Five: Studies in Muggles
It was no secret that the headmaster did not enjoy involving himself in politics. However his decision to add Muggle Studies to the curriculum was meant with alarmingly low amount of support--parents, the ministry, even faculty all questioned the necessity of a course in Muggle Studies.
Because she had muggle parents and lived in the Muggle world Hermione found the class to be an utter waste of time but she also wanted to show her support for Dumbledore. Fortunately her alias--being raised by a squib--was reason enough to explain her easy acceptance of muggle culture.
It was a class that in no way mirrored the class of the same name that she had taken in the future. And after today's lesson, she strongly did not wish to repeat it but it was too late now.
Earlier in the day....
Professor Bangle was a young wizard in his mid to late twenties with an overbite and receding hairline. This was his first lesson and to say it was a rocky start was something of an understatement.
Olivia Green, a Ravenclaw with short black hair and large green eyes challeneged his decision to begin the fist lesson with a 'Day In the Life of a Muggle'.
'Why must I learn about a class of people who fear magic or try to get their greedy hands on it?' Olivia challenged.
Hermione almost choked out an angry retort and just barely managed to cover it up with a series of coughs. To her surprise, no one stood up to criticize her words, and it took every ounce of strength to maintain a vacant look of surprise on her face, as if she wasn't fully aware of the significance of what was going on.
Professor Bangle laughed even though Hermione did not find it amusing at all. 'Muggles are extraordinary creative creatures, learniing to use limited skills to build enormous cities and unique automatons--we enrich ourselves in learning more about--
'Understand what?' said another student, and Hermione turned to see a rather plain looking Gryffindor whose name Hermione could not recall, 'Aren't most of us only here to boost our grades anyways?'
Olivia frowned at this statement, 'My head of house asked me to assess this course as it is still in a trial run.' She crossed her arms, 'Morgan did you not know this?'
Hermione did not know this herself, but several pairs of eyes turned back to Professor Bangle, who replied, 'Of course you are correct Ms. Green. But I am certain that you will all find this course challenging and informative. For instance, if you are are ever unable to use magic and are stranded in the muggle world, it may be necessary to know a thing or two, such as how to use a telephone...do any of you know how to use a telephone...'
No hands were raised so Hermione thought he would move on. 'Ms Granger--' startled she hit her shin on the top of her desk as she rose to stand, earning several muffled laughs and her a great deal of pain.'
'Y-yes?'
'You've lived among muggles, yes?'
There were a few whispers behind her 'I didn't know she was muggle born...'
Fearful her cover would be blown she quickly jumped in to explain, 'M-my Aunt is a squib, you see, and she raised me so naturally I lived among muggles.'
Judging by the mixture of scornful and pitying looks, she had a feeling that she may have added oill to the fire.
'Ah yes, squibs,' Professor Bangle changed the subject, shaking his head with some measure of sadness, 'Shame really, but they also provide a fountain of knowledge as they so often choose to live amongst the muggles. I bet you know everything there is to know about Muggles Ms. Granger; why have you chosen to take this course? Auditing it as well?'
Hermione shifted, uncomfortable, 'My....um....grades sir....'
She trailed off, before sitting down, too embarassed to continue. Never had she thought she would have such low marks in her life, but it wasn't a lie, and she needed an excuse to take the class.
Behind her she heard Morgan mutter, 'Can't believe she had to live with Muggles; poor girl.'
Hermioine gripped the edge of her seat. Never, never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that someone from her own house could be so narrow minded.
The class ended and Hermione hastily gathered her books. The judging shares of others only served to energize her desire to research and figure out a resturn to the present. Lily Evans, she realized, had faced unimaginable bigotry. Not for the first time she admired her--and James Potter for not giving a fig.
We have established that it truly is not unusual to feel some sort of dislike towards muggles. Of course, the kind of behavior exhibited by the muggle-haters takes the status quo to a ludicrous extreme--but also explains why there may be some sympathy towards them as well.....
