Sparky let the two students speak--did he know that second one? They sounded very familiar, but they didn't ring quite enough bells for Sparky to notice--and nodded as the second one finished.
"Thank you, um... both. Ten points for Slytherin and Ravenclaw." Sure, the Ravenclaw boy had been more thorough, more detailed, more correct and unbiased--but Sparky couldn't afford to be accused of favoritism and besides, this was the kind of class that was geared towards certain students anyway. He wasn't sure why anyone well-versed in the muggle world would attend his class, as it wasn't a prerequisite (for anyone but Ashelle, of course) and thus wasn't all that important. He appreciated it anyway, though.
"Very good." He chose not to comment on the... ridiculous amount of swearing in Larkin's speech. He'd say something if it got too out of hand, but it wasn't like there were eleven year olds in here. None of these kids would be... too offended, would they? Besides Ashelle, who was always offended.
He stepped over to Mr. Miniwaves, patting it on the top before he opened it, showing the inside. "As Miss Larkin said, you put the cold, uncooked food in here, close the door--" Snap. "and push how long you want it to cook for, and it'll do it for you. Now, for these to work.. You have to hook them up to electricity." He left it at that, he was not going into Electric Theory anytime soon.
"This is just one of the ways that muggles make cooking easier for them. It's not the best, and.. as Miss Larkin said, it's not always the best tasting."
"Now.." He waved his wand, and the big curtain that he totally forgot to mention in his first post covering the wall rolled away, revealing that behind it was not a wall, but rather another classroom.
"I've ah... I've had this room modified so not only will muggle appliances work... You won't be able to do magic in there, either. It's a very strong enchantment, so you may find that certain... magical properties about you.. will wear off, so I uh.. I advise you to leave those things at your desk." He eyed Layne's hair. "If you can."
He walked over to the other room, beckoning them to follow.
"Today, we will all be preparing a simple muggle recipe, using only muggle tools." Hey, no stutter! Check it out! "H-hopefully, it'll be, um.. It'll be fun." Dammit. "Please find a seat."
...
"...Again."
