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.
A/N: I am sorry these are so short, but it's necessary.
Chapter Two: Laws and Technology
Harry had shown off a bit of the spells he knew, slightly annoyed at having to stand up and do this. Miranda, sensing his distinct lack of anything remotely resembling enthusiasm allowed him to sit.
Hermione raised her hand.
"Yes Miss Grangir."
"Granger not Grang-eer" said Hermione, sounding as if she was sick of the name mispronounciations. 'I was wondering if it might be a good idea to get Harry to help with dueling club."
Miranda nodded slightly, and mumbled to herself, her head bowed. Finally she addressed the class of rather bored Gryffindors. "Well than class" she began. More yawning on behalf of the class. "I think I agree with Miss Frangler, er, Miss Granger."
"Wow 'mione" said Ron loudly. "She actually got your name right."
Miranda's smile did not falter in the least. Whether she was exceptionally friendly or extremely stupid, or possibly both, was something the class as of yet had not figured out. Miranda scratched her nose, something that seemed to be a habit with her. "IDEA!!" she exclaimed. Everyone looked up.
"I was thinking that maybe if we did start that movie club we should find out the laws regarding movies in the wizarding world. Find out if it's legal. And we'd have to decided how to see them, magic makes the stuff go haywire." She thought for a moment. "I could turn it into a lesson!" she exclained. The students were not sued to her constant shouting every time she thought up a new idea, although her excitability was not new. Harry wondered what the Slytherins, who tended to not jsut ignore Muggles and their entertainment mehtods but hate them, would think about this.
Harry raised his hand and explained it to her. Miranda simply beamed at them. "I'm sure Flitwick or McGonagall could think of something."
Hermione raised her hand. "Miss Grane?" Kelman seemed to have forgotten Hermione's name again.
Hermione ignored this however. "I'm fairly sure that we could charm a projector and such. And as far as I know there are no laws at all for dealing with the use of muggle movies in the wizarding world."
"Ia clear field!" exclaimed Miranda. "I'll have to check on this." She then proceeded to dismiss them extremely early, not paying much attention to anything in the least. The good thing was Harry now had time to work on a potions essay, however because it was not a double class so he did not have that much time.
"Don't know how she gets away with teaching us nothing." said Ron.
Hermione sighed. "Well, it's not like we don't know anything. The impression I got was that she though that we know enough."
"The impression i got was she was nutters" said Ron. "You'd think we'd get at least one good DADA teacher besides Lupin. mean, what was Dumbledore thinking hiring this oddball."
"Haven't you been paying attention?" asked Hermione, exasperated.
"No." said Ron.
"She obviously knows a lot of this, she just isn't teaching it right this second. I mean, she did teach us some stuff. And she seems like she knows really rare and unknown spells and things."
"Even if I suspect she makes them up?" said Ron.
"Well, if she does than I suspect she is very powerful because they work when we do it."
Harry thought about it for a second. "You know I wonder. No one knows where she came from or anything."
Hermione shook her head. "Well, Dumbledore hired her. That's good enough for me. And who cares if she's a bit mysterious if her spells work. Maybe she invents spells."
"Makes sense" said Ron. They both made it up to the common room. Hermione was still thinking about everything said, and wondering if anything what Kelman was up to.
