Octavius smiled softly, walking towards the door of the Muggle Studies Classroom. Honestly, if he could have.. he would have tried to do things to make sure that the divide between wizards and muggles never occurred, even if it meant him giving up his life it had to come down to it. He wanted, badly, for muggles and wizards to be together.
The man gave a sharp rat-a-tat knock on the door as he walked in and took a quick look, a quick study of the room. Yes, he may have been professor before, but it did not mean he actually walked in the room here. He was looking around, trying to see if there were anyone actively in the room because had some things he wanted to ask.. like if the teacher, Maya, had ever been to a muggle store.. if she knew what it was like to watch television, despite him knowing that it was not really possible as a wizard to watch television.
He wanted to know more about Muggles. A man who was almost 40 should be allowed to continue to expand his knowledge about muggles, so what can he do? Yes, he could probably make a fool of himself out in the muggle public or he could reduce the risk of making a fool of himself with additional knowledge.
"Hello?" He called out softly. "I have some questions for you, and it's mostly for the fact that I want to go somewhere with my fiance this summer, for our.." He paused.. a smile creeping onto his face as he thought about it.. "wedding."

Muggles :D
It was nearing the end of another year at Hogwarts. How many years had she been teaching at this school? Was it six or seven? Every year it felt like Groundhogs Day. Here she was, grading papers for the end of the year, sipping her Turkish coffee. A pastime Muggle beverage that she upkept over time. Finished with a small pile, she heard a sharp knock at her classroom door.
Maya looked up and wondered who it may be. She hadn't had visitors in a long time. Actually, she kept to herself for the most part of the school year. Not so much has happened this year like in the past-- which she is thankful for. A familiar voice called out when they had opened the door. Maya did not move from her seat and instead straightened her shoulders and held her head high, her chocolate brown eyes looking at the man walking in.
It was none other than Octavius Baird. A faculty member who had come back from hiatus, but as a different position. What was he before? Maya couldn't remember. But now, he was the school's nurse.
Maya's eyebrows shot up when he had asked his question regarding his wedding. "Mazal tov," she responded back, meaning congratulations in Hebrew. "Doesn't your fiancee have a say on where they want to go?" she asked, pushing the envelope on why Maya was asked such a question rather than the love of his life.

The voice popped out, striking his ears. A Hebrew congratulations. It was not one he was quite as familiar with, unfortunately. He opened his mouth as if he were about to ask what it was she just said but the next set of words to be heard distracted him. “Oh!” Octavius exclaimed softly.
“Of course he does! We agreed on the Great Smoky Mountains! You know.. over in The States?” His eyes glistened as the lights from the exterior, the sunlight, struck his face. He walked towards Maya, and gave her a large grin.
The long haired man began to fantasize about his fiance. Of course, more so pertaining the wedding.
He popped out the question as he thought about his future husband’s beautiful appearance, the gorgeous Russian accent.. and his kind behavior.. his generosity. Oh god. ”Would you want to come to the wedding? I’ll pay for a campsite for you and for anyone else you want to bring?” He asked.
The initial plan was to stay at Cherokee North Carolina, but honestly, depending on what the best course of action was.. maybe he would need to stay in the national park..
“Would you know..” he begin to ask, his eyes glazing over. ”If the ‘National Parks’ over in the States..” He stopped, not sure how to word it. “We cannot use or be around objects that use electricity right?” He asked, the third question he would ask but it was related to the second question.
He would ask Ronnie but it seemed this was not a huge celebration for Ronnie and that he would honestly rather do whatever made Octavius happy.

Maya was not in a place to judge. Wedding destinations were a fad nowadays. She knew people who went to the Hawaiian islands or anywhere else in the world that had a popular landmark. Out of the world's greatest discoveries, to choose the Great Smoky Mountains was a choice. Definitely not one of hers, but what say would she have? She was long ways away from getting married. Being in her mid-30s, perhaps marriage was not in the cards. Her partner was knowledge and power.
"What a beautiful landscape," she said nonchalantly as a response to his sharing of where the wedding was located. The Smoky Mountains was a large area, it would be unknown to know where exactly such a wedding would be located. "What made you choose that National Park versus the many others in the States?" she asked.
Maya looked back down at the next document that she was grading, quill in hand. She began to write comments on the homework when her ears perked up at Octavius inviting her and a plus one to the wedding. Plus one... a joke at this point.
She put the quill down into its ink and couldn't help but to give a small chuckle. "Are you ending up inviting your Z listers?" she paused, "typically, when people invite others to their wedding, it's in a formal, physical invitation." Maya teased the Nurse. Never had she been asked to join a wedding in this fashion before. Was this the typical ways of the Wizarding World? Although she had spent a little more than half her life with magic, there was still a lot to learn.
"You can use electricity in National Parks. You will need a generator though. There are no outlets," she explained. Though realized that such an explanation would probably need an explanation itself. Pure-Bloods were extremely turned off with the understanding of what electricity truly is.

Octavius took a note at what she was marking. "Ah, homework. I dare say I miss grading. I guess I just have my own paperwork going right now after all.. the medical logs I figured we'd need for future references." He said quietly, not trying to be heard.
The man just responded to the question asked. "Well," He took a second to think. "The climb is allegedly less steep than that of the Rocky Mountains, from what I hear. And the thing about the Grand Cray-on.." He said, mispronouncing canyon. "It's too dry.. I think. Are there more than just those three?" Octavius asked, definitely curious about the not-so-pressing matters.
"Well..." Octavius said, at the mention of her being a last choice. "No.. I just wanted to ask if you wanted to go since it was really initially intended for Clark, Simon, Ben, Tonto, Baldrick, my fiance and I, to go. I thought maybe you would want a vacation away from so many kids in a new area, all expenses paid if I had to." He took a second to ponder, looking away from her briefly. "Should I write some formal invitation then? Send it to all of faculty here? Would this be the best course of action?" He asked.
Octavius has helped to plan a wedding before, yes. He got married twice! But he did not do all of the work himself. He was the one to pick the area and the venue. He did not do the cake-picking, the invites, the flowers, and such.
His brows furrowed in confusion. "Dear," He started. "I'm almost 37 years old! I've lived in the wizarding world most of my life, I do not know what a generator is!" Though, in Octavius's case, despite him living in a muggle area, he had absolutely nothing electronic in his house. They were either mechanical versions of themselves or just not there.
