Class #6: G&R / 6&7

[Professor Charity Burbage]

INTRODUCTION[/u]
Group #1: Gryffindor Sixth and Seventh Years
Group #2: Ravenclaw Sixth and Seventh Years
Discussion: Muggle Sports: Football (~~soccer!!!!!!)

Every once in a while, Charity found herself entirely bored by her own lesson plans, which typically featured lecture or discussion. As much as she liked to get her students thinking and participating in a rousing discussion, she just wasn’t getting as much feedback as she preferred lately, especially from her N.E.W.T. students!- so she decided to mix things up. She was never entirely structured with her classes, and although she had a general idea of what she was going to teach and what message she was trying to convey, she wasn’t afraid to think outside the box. Lately, she’d been discussing different muggle sports, sports organizations and different tournaments around the world, even the Olympics. She requested that the students meet her in the Concourse for todays lesson; it was much roomier, and she moved everything out and made room for goals. Today they would be playing football. Picking teams, taking score, all that good stuff. And it was going to be fun, dammit. She was relieved to see that most of her class made it there by the time the bell rang, but she expected a few stragglers; she did leave a note on her door reminding them that class would be held in the Concourse instead of the classroom, so she expected the rest of them to show up within a few minutes. Most of them looked confused, but others knew exactly their “lesson” was today as she bounced the soccer ball back and forth between her hands. ”Good to see you all found your way,” she began, pacing back and forth in front of them. ”We’re going to play football today.” She paused, a little smirk curling across her lips. ”And you all should know what that is by now,” she said, looking at them pointedly. ”You get to pick teams. Go ahead.” The room erupt into chatter as the students shuffled around, trying to put together a team. This was definitely one of her best ideas yet.

Just as long as no one got hurt.

[Maylene Bell]

So okay, May would have had to be lying if she said she wasn't as curious and excited as everybody else about today's Muggle Studies lesson being in the Concourse for a change, and she practically ran there, looking around when she stepped in, one of the first to arrive, to see Professor Burbage there with what looked to be two... goals. "Oh, fuck yes," May hissed under her breath, turning to the nearest student and gripping their shoulder, shaking it. "Dude. Football!

[/color]" she exclaimed, grinning like a madman, and watching the football bounce between the professor's hands. Oh, damn, this was going to be kickass. May quickly shed her robe and once again, like she did every day, cursed the Hogwarts rule that girls had to wear skirts. She'd actually take it off right now if she didn't think that flashing her panties in class would get her into serious trouble. Although one detention more or less wouldn't be much of a big deal. Maybe if she got someone else in on it with her... or whatever, she could play in a skirt and kick everybody's ass anyway. She hadn't been playing football since she was four for nothing, after all. May literally had to grip onto her own hands to avoid jumping on someone when the teacher told them to pick their own teams, and looked around the other people.

"OI![/color]" May called out as soon as everybody broke out into chatter, holding onto their friends and stuff. "Prince of the Ball! I want you on my team![/color]" she yelled out, pointing at Ian Fleming across the room as she strode over and gripped Julien's arm. "Come beat some ass with me,[/color]" she whispered, and grinned at him too. Oh, this was going to be fun.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/color]
