Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, the honorable JK Rowling does, but I wish I did own it.
Warnings: Nothing yet. Although it is meant to be funny, so expect my usual insanity.
Summary: Chaos ensues when the wizarding world is introduced to movies, and a few muggle-borns learn that muggle items are not copyrighed in the wizarding world.
I am hoping to work on this a good deal over the summer. The basic idea behind this is that if it is a part of the muggle world and most wizards shy from the muggle world than muggle items would not be copyrighted. What if a few mugle-borns realize this and pick up on the new movie craze? A little tinkering with the technology compliments of the professors and the Hogwarts movie studio is now in full working order. Lead by Miranda Kelman (whose brother seems to be teaching a new Muggle Technologies class) of questionable motives *hint: She likes making money* and the excitable and very interested Arthur Weasley.
A/N: This is unrelated to my other stories.
Chapter One: Oddballs and Movie Clubs
Mirana Kelman scratched her head absently with the hand grasping her wand and immediately regretted it as sparks shot out of it. She pulled out a mirroe and inspected her reflection, noting her lightly singed hair. Ah yes, what day was it? Sunday? No. It was Monday. That meant students. She checked the clock on her endtable. And judging by the time . . . She hurriedly checked her schedule and then shot out of the poofy red chair she was sitting in. What would her students think if she was late?
And she had that dueling club later. She had discussed it all with Harry, apparently with You-Know-Who (unlike a few braver souls she didn't say his name)regaining power learning to protect themselves semmed like a good idea. Besides, they hadn't had once since that idiot Lockhart had made a huge mess of the whole thing. Sitll, it didn't seem to discourage the students, if anything it made more sign up then ever out of curiosity. She was not looking forward to it however.
Miranda dashed along the halls, heading for the DADA room. Her students were talking with eachother as she pushed open the door.
"Good morn__, I mean, Good afternoon class!"
"Good afternoon Miss Kelman" the class answered back, quite enthusiastically. Kelman might have been a mediocre DADA teacher, but she did at least teach them fairly useful information, seemed to be safe if not a little odd and was always good for a laugh. Having ahd a fraud every year for a DADA teacher with the exception of a werewolf, they tended to feel safer around a midlly competent oddball.
"Now before we started" said Kelman. The class doodled and generally paid slight attention to her, unless they thought something funny was going to happen, as she didn't seem to care. "I would like to announce the new Muggle Technology class astaught by my brother Mike. It is not a study of muggles so much as their advancements, more specifically in entertainment." A few students looked interested at the entertainment bit.
"Is it true that muggles stare at pictures?" said a boy.
"Sort of Mr. Tremble."
"Trimble!"
"Of course Mr. Timble" said Miranda good-naturedly. "But the pictures move like ours, and have sound. They're called movies." The muggle borns were still ignoring her, but a few of the wizard-borns looked interested or suprised.
"Movies are an important thing, a major entertainment. Lots of money is spend making them and advancing the methods, and even more seeing them Why, lord of the Rings is a good example. I'm sure Mike could arrange a movie club as a special extra." Many girls looked interested. Mike was slghtly smarter than his oddball sister, but also very very handsome.
Ron muttered something about Lockhart when he'd met the young man.
Hermione raised her hand. "Excuse me Miss Kelman, but what does this have to do with with defense against the Dark Arts."
"Not much Miss Grane."
"Granger." All the students were used to correcting their names, most wondered why they bothered.
"But you see Miss Grangir, we will start shortly" She scratched her nose and realized her wand was on her desk where she tossed it. "Now then, I thought since you already know so much we could ask Mr. Potter to give us a demonstration of what he thinks are the most useful defense spells, as I'm sure we can beenfit form his opinions." The class looked stuck between disappointment in not seeing anything particularly funny on behalf of Kelman and wanting to see Harry to some more complex spells.
"Of course then we can discuss this movie thing a bit more, maybe a study of the themes of ood versus evil in movies?"
Miranda thought a bit. A movie club would be fun, and she know they needed it. Defense Against the Dark Arts was more relevant this year, and more useless since everyone knew everything except the most complex spells anyway. Which she planned on teaching them gradually. And studying monsters seemed a bit like, well, not what they needed right now.
