Weird or fantastical courses you would take?

[Asa]

I've always wanted to take a course in the History of Fairytales and Greek and Roman Mythology. It would also be cool to take a course in Interplanetary Diplomacy, History of Medieval Castles

I've taken numerous courses on myths, iconography, pre-christian cultures, a feminist history of Grimm's Fairy Tales, a literature course called "Monsters and Mad Men" all at my university, plus I went to art school, which is more or less, "Someone Be As Bizarre As Possible While Naked... Everyone Else, Quick, Paint It!"

I feel like my schooling was already pretty weird. :/


But if I could learn anything at all:
"How to Apparate"
"How to Breathe Under Water"
"An Accurate History, as Taught by Ghosts"
"Magical Curing Plants of the World"

• Trolling the Trolls 101
• How to save time on house chores with magic.
• Manifesting ancient teachers of the past
• Actual History as it actually happened.

OMG Sign me up for these courses. Please.

But if I could learn anything at all:
"How to Apparate"
"How to Breathe Under Water"
"An Accurate History, as Taught by Ghosts"
"Magical Curing Plants of the World"


And these!

Per @Wonky Oracle 's post:
Does anyone remember when Tonks told Harry she never bothered to perfect her household charms? When I read that I thought, "OMG!!! Why???!!!!" Why would you not learn ways to make cleaning easier and faster?

How to be a domestic goddess, I would pay thousands of dollars for that course. Seriously.

Oh, and a History of Mermaids

I've made a willow basket, and I can assure you it's difficult enough out of water.

A friend of mine makes Willow coffins and baskets. It took me nearly two days to make this. I was mightily relieved when it was finished, and vowed to leave it at that!

I do love it though, it's ideal for Chantilly mushroom foraging, one of my favourite pastimes!

When I was a kid there were these novelisation spinoffs from the "Myst" computer game series, where the characters wrote books that made new worlds they could step into - I'd want to do a course on magical writing.

As long as it's separate Black Hole's we're talking about, I'll allow it.

Now, I want to think of a whole bunch of punny course titles that push the limit. But I won't. :mthumb:

Throw in a couple of samplers, if you could pick any time/subject, which would you conjure up.
