Adrienne blinked. "That you're nonexistent? A figment of our imagination? Or maybe that we've all gone schizophrenic...."
Carrie shrugged, deciding she didn't feel like making any more answers.

He nodded. "Don't tell anyone I said this," he smirked, "but sometime try going out into the muggle world, with a witch or wizard if you aren't one, and when they're not looking conjure an image of a pink elephant, and make it disappear again. I guarantee that even if a small group sees it, they will maintain an effort to not see it."
"Now," he started, underlining religion. "What does religion say about our existance?"

Brann laughed out loud. "What don't they say? We are demons, posessed by the devil, satan incarnate, evil fictions of their wild imaginations!" He looked at Xander who seemed to stay quiet and watching the professor. Brann leaned over and said "Take a picture, it'll last longer... oh... forgot, he's a vampire..." and sniggered.[/color]

Zephyr ran into Muggle Studies, looking around the classroom to see that they were well into the class. He quickly moved to an open seat, attempting to pretend he was there the whole time and not completely late.
Maegan sat at the back of the classroom, listening quietly to their conversation. The topic interested her but she was interested enough to participate. She would rather just listen to what those around her had to say about the topic.

Xander blushed brightly. "Right. Vampire and..." He frowned and gave Brann a dirty look. "Hey!" He crossed his arms, looking indignant. "I'm sure it was just a... vampire... thing... I've read about how they-" He looked up to see Jean-Claude raise a brow at him, daring him to say it. "Nevermind." He sunk into his chair.
Jean-Claude walked over to the desk and looked at the paper. "He's taking his notes well enough, Mr. Gnister. If he wishes to stare, do not provoke him." He returned to the front of the classroom. "Now, religion does indeed conflict with science in that we exist, as demons and worshippers of the devil. A few do say that we are merely created of the imagination of men, nightmares to plague the world. Most of the religious, however, ignore this in favor of scientific explanation."
He walked to the other side of the board. "The wizarding world, however, has no such conflicts. While they are a little more accepting of our kind where we are found, we are also highly discriminated against and more likely to be hunted if an attack occurs." He wrote Muggle and Wizard on the board, and drew a line down between them. "Wizarding world: what would happen if it were to be discovered that a teacher, outside of this school, was a vampire or werewolf?"

"They'd be canned... then persecuted... then framed... then jailed... then killed... " Brann said shrugging. He smiled over at Xander who was still watching the professor, he leaned back in his seat tipping it toward Zephyr. "Nice to see you could make it..." he whispered.[/color]

"Shh! I was totally not late," Zephyr whispered back at him before pushing Brann's chair forward. Then he looked up at the teacher, planning to respond to his question.
"Yes, he could be killed, but it is more likely that he would just be fired from his job and then shunned from society. They wouldn't be able to jail the person since there are no laws against being a vampire or a werewolf. They could be forced into hiding to avoid the threats and persecution from fellow wizards and witches. They could be helped though. There are some people in the wizarding world that are sympathetic towards Vampires and Werewolves, like the people that started and work at this school. So, they could revieve help if they're found by the right person. There is a higher chance of them facing persecution though."

"Very good, Zephyr." He wrote most of what both boys said under Wizard. "While there are many places where a werewolf could be persecuted and sent to Azkaban, there isn't any law against them being werewolves or vampires. However, the person may be fired due to parental concern. If one of those parents happens to know wizarding law and has an intense dislike, they may decide to take further action out of some deluded sense of justice, or even vengeance."
He tapped on the muggle side. "What about in a muggle school? What would happen if a teacher, who dressed normally of course, were to be accused of vampirism or lycanthropy?"

"Hey!" Brann said as Zephyr pushed him forward "Just because there isn't a law yet against werewolves and vampires, doesn't mean that they can't find something to incarcerate us for." He turned to the professor and smiled "They would either accuse him of filming a movie or they'd disect him."

Carrie rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. She leaned back in her chair and fell into the shadows that were cast over the dark corner in which she was sitting.
Adrienne nearly burst out laughing at Brann's last comment. "Or some religious fanatic would burn him at the stake (ooc: along with a pile of Harry Potter books) while chanting bible verses but being completely contradictory towards their own religion."

"For the most part," he smirked, "it's more likely that the person doing the accusing will be locked up on grounds of insanity. There are, of course, exceptions. Besides Christian and Catholic fanatics, what other muggles are a danger to our kind?"

"Hey Zeph, is your mom a muggle? Cause she's dangerous!" He laughed out loud and turned back to the professor "Does Zephyr's mom count?" [/color]

"Any of the ones who know about us," Adrienne responded, her eyes suddenly flashing for a moment, but the look quickly disappeared. "Like kill or be killed...?"[/color]

Priscilla spoke up at last, though she was still very quiet. "Anyone 'ho is willing to believe. W'eter because of super'tition, or... else."
Jean-Claude nodded to all of them, though gave a stern look to Brann. Quietly, he said, "and sometimes those who loved us, are the worst enemy of all." He tapped the board, fully composed. "I want a small essay on how you believe a werewolf could hide amongst muggles. What job is best for them? How can they keep from being caught? Next class we will discuss the basic principles of integration. There will be a highlight for vampires and other creatures that don't age, or age slowly. Class dismissed."

Thank Merlin, it's over... Brann thought as he slowly took his book and put it into his backpack. As fast as a flash of light he was out of the classroom and no where to be found.

Xander blinked as Brann seemed to disappear. "Whoa..."

Adrienne walked out of the room, glaring darkly. Homework. Great. She was only mildly surprised at Brann's disappearance.
Carrie left the room quietly.
