1st Card

[thecardswilltell]

Well, now, boys and girls, it would seem you have yourselves a new Professor here.

I am Doctor Facilier, and I will be teaching you what you might call... Muggle magic. Now, don't you scoff at that. Voodoo, Tarot card reading... They're just as much magic as any wand-waving you all do, and even more so than peering into a crystal ball or tea leaves.

Voodoo is my specialty, now, but I also practice Hoodoo and read Tarot cards, and I'm not too shabby with Shamanism, if I do say so myself. And we'll be covering all that and more in class.

'Course, my class isn't for everyone. It takes a great deal of skill to master these arts, not to mention an open mind.

Now, who's up for the challenge?

MUGGLES have magic too!?

[thecardswilltell]

They certainly do, Miss Peixes. Things unlike anything else you're learning. I do hope you sign up for my class; I bet you'll find it quite interesting.

[grandhighwizard]

well now.
ISN'T THAT INTERESTING?

[thecardswilltell]

Professor Rhys Rhydderch, if I'm not mistaken?

What interests you? I'd be happy to elaborate.

[kid8dik]

Muggle Magic?

[thecardswilltell]

That's right, Muggle Magic.

[that_witch_remains]

Oh, you've got to be kidding.

[thecardswilltell]

What seems to be the problem, Miss Sakura?

[its_cor_aline]

So..this is a class on what Muggles think is real magic? Or is it like, real magic magic? I'm Muggleborn so this topic has me totally confused since I didn't think magic exists for Muggles.

..Voodoo sounds super interesting though! I'd like to learn more about what that actually is.

[thecardswilltell]

No need to be confused, Miss Jones.

You're a muggleborn? Have you ever been in a muggle city and seen a man flipping cards to tell the future. That's called Tarot. And it's just one example. This is real magic that muggles can use.

But it's all the more powerful when someone with some magic blood uses it.

Voodoo is certainly a favorite of mine.

[faintwaves]

...I don't know what any of those things are. Would you teach me what they are?

[thecardswilltell]

I'd be more than happy to, Miss. Just sign up for my class.

[clockspinner]

hey teach
you wanna see some real muggle magic
pull my finger

[thecardswilltell]

Never heard that one before.

[purrfect]

:3 < ooooh oh wow
:3 < one side of my family is all muggles so
:3 < maybe thatd be good to know about!

[thecardswilltell]

Glad to hear it, Miss Leijon-Vantas. It certainly pays to learn.

[fashioneighsta]

But what's the importance of this kind of a class for us? Surely voodoo and all of that isn't anything compared to our magic.

[If he weren't a teacher, she'd be more willing to admit that she finds the idea uncivilized and somewhat frightening.]

[thecardswilltell]

Perhaps if you opened that little mind of yours, Miss, you'd see that it's a completely different kind of magic, and just as important to learn.

[shellfishlovver]

Initially I was goin' to question the subject, but it seems like half the student population has beat me to it.

Regardless, welcome to the staff.

[thecardswilltell]

Shame to see such an under-educated mind belonging to teacher.

Thank you all the same.

[fuckilovebooks]

But that stuff isn't real magic. It's all smoke and mirrors.

[thecardswilltell]

You're thinking of stage magicians, Miss Sparkle.

[psiignlanguage]

I have this sneaking suspicion you and I might get along quite a bit.
I've often fancied myself rather talented when it comes to Tarot.

[thecardswilltell]

Really now? I'd love to have a nice chat.

[jasmineofthewest]

Muggle magic! Oh, how fascinating! I do wish that was a class when I was attending Hogwarts. Perhaps you and I can have tea together and you could tell me more?
