It's a Field Trip (Muggle Studies Class Trip)

Richard thought that he would treat his students to a field trip, he had got the headmaster's permission to take the class to Museum of Muggle Curiosities for the day. He hopped that kids would enjoy themselves looking around the museum and the interactive exhibits, he also just wished that they would enjoy their time out of Hogwarts as it is rare to get permission to go anywhere out of Hogsmede. Choosing the Jellied Eel Shop for their lunch as he thought that it would be a treat for them, also was less work on Hogwart's House Elves, which he always thought should not exist.

Summer didn't really need to take muggle studies, she was born a muggle and had known nothing about the magical world until she had gotten her Hogwarts letter. Though, she still took the class because it was amazing to her to see how others looked at the things that had always been just normal every day things for her. It was more to satisfy her curiosity as to how the magical world saw the world that she had been raised in. It was just fascinating to her. So, when the announcement was made about the field trip, she was excited to go.

When it was time to sit down for lunch, she sat at a table by herself, not wanting to impose on any of the other students around her as she had gotten her meal. The shop was a strange one, but she had come to be quite used to the strange since she had started attending Hogwarts.

Iris decided to go on the Muggle Studies field trip as at least it'd be a change of atmosphere from the usual Hogwarts and Hogsmeade.

At the Jellied Eel Shop, she decided to sit with whichever housemate she could find for the familiarity.

"Hey."

Richard had decided to start with lunch, as everyone needed fuel right? He was really hoping that the trip would be good for all, though he did not know how they would take it. Some parents had not agreed with the trip and refused to allow their kids to go, as why should they let their kids know about muggles when they were just scum. He knew that it was a risk but he also hoped to throw some fun into it.

Summer hadn't been expecting anyone to sit with her, not really. It wasn't like she actually had a whole lot of friends and she was pretty sure people thought it was strange that she was even coming on this trip being that she was a muggleborn and all. Though, someone did soon sit beside her and she gave a small, shy smile as she recognized her as being another Ravenclaw. "Hi." What else did she say? She didn't want to seem rude or anything... "Are you excited, ummm, for the museum?" Maybe it was a stupid question to ask but she was trying at least...

'I'm interested to see what's in it. I need to broaden my worldview," she responded taking a sip from the bottle of pumpkin juice she brought. Iris definitely wouldn't have been able to go on this trip if she hadn't gotten herself legally emancipated. "Don't you also find jellied eels disgusting?"

@Summer Callahan

Summer smiled softly. ”I’m really curious as to what they’ll have there too.” Sure, she had grown up in the muggle world but what could be in the muggle world that would interest the wizards enough to cause them to put them in a museum? She was intrigued, she was curious.

She pushed the food around her plate, not actually eating in her excitement for the moment. She crinkled her nose up. ”Yes, I think they’re horrible!” she confirmed. ”I have no idea how anyone could actually enjoy them.” she gave an exaggerated little shudder at the thought.

Richard figured that it was time to head into the museum if they were going to make the timeline he had set up. He walked over to his student tables and told them that lunch would be over soon so finish up and meet him inside the museum; he knew what was in there as he made inquiries but he also thought a few other things maybe as well.

Summer was just finishing up her small lunch when their professor came over to the table and informed them that they would be heading into the museum soon. She had just smiled and nodded towards him before beginning to gather up her trash. She wasn’t sure what else to say to the girl who had sat with her, Summer never really was good at the whole conversing thing, she tended to be much more comfortable in academic situations or with her nose in a book...

"See you at the museum," Iris stated to her housemate. She wanted to pick up one of those disposable cameras before heading to the museum; she was going to take a few pictures to show her boyfriend after the field trip.

"Okay, see you there." Summer mumbled before moving away to throw away her trash so that she could walk out to meet their professor who was waiting for them to go into the museum.
