"OK, ok, settle down! You are all old enough to be mature about this subject!" Professor Murphy was used to this sort of reaction as she had experienced it in many schools before Hogwarts, although she did find it curious as to why the blonde boy and the brown haired girl didn't seem as amused as their classmates.
"The topic we will be focussing on first is muggle contraception." The students looked at her with a bemused look of slight worry. Those chosen to mentor had previous knowledge of the fact that there was a difference but very few of them ever studied the difference in detail.
"I thought that muggles didn't have contraceptive potions Miss! That's why there is so many of them!?" A dark haired Hufflepuff piped up from the back of the room somewhere. He was obviously chosen as a mentor but maintained no practical knowledge of this particular area.
"Quite right Mr Durham, muggles do not have contraceptive potions, but this does not mean they have no protection against pregnancy. They use these." She held up a small square package, it was blue and had some writing on it but only a few letters showed due to Professor Murphy's fingers obscuring the view.
With a small pop one package appeared between each pairing. Hermione knew what this was, as did Harry, but neither looked forward to explaining in any details what to do with it.
Draco cautiously picked up the packet; he didn't trust small packages after the summer holidays when Crabb and Goyle pulled a practical joke on him with a small exploding chocolate frog box. He shivered at the memory and rubbed the still slightly red patch that was left on his arm.
Hermione couldn't help but giggle as he raised the packet to his nose and tentatively sniffed it. When he heard her giggle he threw the packet down on the table and sneered at Hermione for her lack of respect.
"They call it a condom. And it proves very useful for muggles as it helps to prevent pregnancy."
A hand shot up from beside Hermione and Lavenders voice sounded very unsure and actually sounded quite worried.
"Er, Miss? What...Well.... How does it...Do you swallow it? Or is it like a charm that you leave by the bed to ward off pregnancy?"
Both Harry and Hermione had to stifle a laugh as the other children of wizarding families obviously were both intrigued and perhaps frightened by the small package.
"Actually what you do is, well, when the man, oh dear. Well...Here! Watch this video. It is a muggle made video so you will have to all gather round this screen."
The film was quite graphic, and was obviously aimed at approximately 16-year-old muggles. Many of the faces that watched intrigued by the video showed a range of emotion. Including disgust, curiosity and most humorous was Draco's look of sheer horror, It wasn't like he wasn't experienced in the act of 'love making' but he was so astounded with what you had to do with the thing and the mans 'thing!'
After the video there was deadly silence. No one dared even move until Professor Murphy shooed them away. Once they were all safely back behind their desks they were informed to pick up the packet and just study it. Draco tentatively picked up the packet and read the printed words, 'DUREX, 1 latex condom'
"Er Professor" Draco's voice held a childlike quality as he continued to study the packaging.
"Are these words the spell you say to make it er...go on?"
Hermione and Harry snorted and supressed the desire to laugh out loud.
"No Mr Malfoy. These are mearly the name of the brand and the description of what is inside."
Draco blushed at his obvious misjudgement.
"Now everyone, please open he packet and remove the condom." There was silence from throughout the room. Hermione reached for their packet that Draco still had tight hold of and he just glared at her and turned away.
"I can do it! I'm not completely useless! I'm sure I can master anything related to sex. It's in my blood to be so damn good!"
He fumbled with the packet. Casting his wand over it and mumbling. Trying to curse it into opening. He even tried 'Alohamora' but to no avail. He began to get angry and just before he was about to burn it into oblivion Hermione leaned towards him and said
"Here, let me."
Within seconds the packet was open and a slimy cloudy thing was lying on the table.
"Now what?!" Hermione could sense the irritation in his voice of once more being outdone by the Mudblood.
"Everybody collect a carrot. And pay attention! This will be tested next week!"
