John Elvis Frank Smithsteinson looked around his new classroom inside the Hogwarts Castle, it had some amenities that he was not use to, some that he would be disposing of… they were far too… magicy. After all, John Elvis Frank Smithsteinson hadn’t spent ten years living amongst the muggles without using a hint of magic for nothing. He dragged a large wooden shelf to the entrance of the door, there were slots for each students wand as they walked in; he wanted to ensure that his classroom was one-hundred percent magic free. He quickly went desk-to-desk to ensure that each seat had the same tools. He stopped at the last desk and picked up the hammer, inspecting it in his hand before placing it back down.

John Elvis Frank Smithsteinson walked back over to his desk and picked up the overly complex coffee pot, he pressed down on the lever forcing the beans through a grinder, he then spun a handle stirring the hot liquid before pouring himself a cup through a paper filter; he dropped two sugar cubes into the round mug that had ”I <3 NY” imprinted on it before stirring with a large kitchen spoon. He turned back to his classroom with a smile before realizing that someone had walked in and joined him, “Why please forgive my rudeness I did not see you there, This is something that the muggles over in the United States enjoy… they grind these beans down and then stir them into hot water. I learnt about it when I was living among the muggles; I spent tens years without ever picking up a wand… I like to refer to myself a magic-terian. Which means I refrain from practicing magic, some muggles refer to themselves as veg-eterians, which actually means they eat only vegetables. It’s quite an interesting lifestyle, it’s rather unhealthy so they have to ensure that their bodies still get the proper nutrients, some even take what they call dietary supplements. It’s the nutrients that your body would naturally gather from eating healthy food, but they put them into a small tablet that they call a pill; It’s a totally groovy idea.”

The Professor only paused to take a sip of his coffee, ”Forgive my rudeness, would you care for a cup?”

Somehow, again, Professor Ellis was tasked with welcoming the new Muggle Studies professor. How he always managed to do Albus' random tasks, he did not know. Wait, yes he did. He couldn't say no to the man. Albus Dumbledore was like a father to him, he owed him a great deal. With his cane, he walked just down the hall to the Muggle Studies classroom. He didn't know a lot about the new professor, just that his name was something lengthy, he lived in the States for a while and was described as a little ... neurotic. Exactly what that meant, he had no idea. But he was sure he'd find out soon.

Gerard's robes billowed behind him as he walked quickly. He had one thing to do and he would get it done without interruptions. He loved all of his students, surely, but there were some, mostly Ravenclaw, that liked to ambush him and ask him question after question about his discovery. Reaching the door, the quickly went in, silent as a hawk and walked toward the new Muggle Studies professor. The professor was meddling with some sort of machine in his office that Gerard hadn't seen before. But it looked like something to make coffee, perhaps a muggle invention. He himself had lived around American muggles growing up as he, too, lived in the states for a few years to attend school. The school he went to was for witches and wizards, of course, but was settled quiet securely in the middle of a muggle community. His parents had sent him abroad to study because they feared making him too... English. Whatever that meant to him when he was younger, but as he grew up, he realized exactly what they meant. There was nothing wrong with being English, but being brought up in two different continents, he had the ability to learn about both worlds, not just England and the States, but also muggles and wizards.

Professor Ellis watched quietly as the man poured himself some coffee. It seemed that Gerard had made such a quiet entrance that the professor did not see realize he was there. He leaned back on a desk in front of the classroom and waited with a smile, studying him. When the new professor finally turned back into his classroom and realized Gerard was there, he immediately began talking. He spoke in a way that was odd to Gerard. He'd never heard anyone speak this way, but at the same time it was quite entertaining. Perhaps the new professor spoke too much, or maybe he spoke too much because he was nervous. Either ways, Gerard let him speak as much as he wanted, not that he could interrupt him anyways as the new professor didn't seem to need to pause for air.

"I would love a cup," Gerard said with a smile as he pushed himself off the desk. "I don't know about vegetarians being unhealthy, though. Did you know that humans are naturally herbivores, plant eaters?"

John Elvis Frank Smithsteinson chuckled and shook his head at the unexpected guest, “I’m sorry but that is actually false. While I was living with the muggles for ten years, I studied their history on the evolution of the homo sapiens, which is the muggle science name for human; Our teeth are actually designed to tear through meat, if you’ll look right here…”[/b Professor John Elvis Frank Smithsteinson opened his mouth and pointed to his canine teeth, still talking with his fingers in his mouth. “These are what the muggles refer to as our ’Canine’ teeth, Canine is actually another muggle science term for the animal species we refer to as dogs, that was another thing that I learnt from them during my ten years that I spent living amongst the muggles.” Professor John Elvis Frank Smithsteinson removed his hand from his mouth and turned to pour his visitor a cup, “So again, not to be rude, your statement is actually false; the homo-sapien is actually designed to eat meat.”

John Elvis Frank Smithsteinson turned back the guest with a cup of coffee that he had poured into a large mug that had the Hard Rock Café logo on it, “Would you like cream or sugar? It’s not actual cream though, it’s something I learnt from my ten years I spent with the muggles, they actually put bovine milk, which is a muggle name for Cow’s milk, in their coffee and just refer to it as cream which is actually semi-correct because cream is harvested from bovine, or cow, milk.” He spoke as if he was trying to explain the concept to a toddler, “The sugar is actual sugar, although some muggles do use a synthetic sugar for dietary reasons… they believe that it is healthier than natural sugar. Just another tid-bit I learnt while I lived among the muggles.”

"Not rude at all," Professor Ellis stated always loving a good conversation, or perhaps debate. The new professor did seem a little neurotic as he'd been warned. But nothing he couldn't handle. As the professor spoke with his hands in his mouth, Gerard peered at his teeth. It seemed as if he'd had some work done, most likely from a muggle, a dentist.

"Those are lovely," he stated before continuing, his finger tapping his lips for a bit as if thinking. "However, though they called 'canines'" he motioned quotations in the air as he said the word, "they bear very little resemblance to canines of carnivores. If you notice, when we do not chomp up and down with our jaws on our food." Professor Ellis snapped his jaw straight up and down, his teeth bare to show Professor S. "We humans, move our jaws slightly side to side, something that carnivores do not do and herbivores do... do," he said with a smile. The new professor may have studied muggles, but Gerard highly doubted he studied anatomy and human development.

Professor Ellis took the cup of coffee from the new professor. The scent of coffee woke him and his senses absolutely adored it. His took it a few more whiff of the exquisite coffee before slowly blowing on it to cool it off. "Is that right?" he asked not really being a fan of cows or cream or anything of that nature. "No thank you," he said politely shaking a finger as he drank a little of the coffee. "Ah, bold," he stated with a smile, "Just as I like my women." Though Gerard had purposely avoided women as of late since his wife died, it was evident he loved take charge women. The kind of women who knew what they wanted and went after it, like his wife. Looking down at the black liquid, he took another drink.

"Forgive my rudeness," he stated putting his free hand out, "My name is Gerard Ellis, I teach runes. My classroom is just down the call, 3 classrooms down from here." He pointed with his thumb behind him.
