Queen of Typos | The OTHER OTHER Roro | WICKED is Good

The fourth-year kept blinking and looking around trying to get used to the charm's effect but was that even possible . Seeing everything close-up is something you just either marvel or wrinkle your nose at. Depends on the thing you're seeing of course. Like for example the whomping willow was awfully scary. So the snake turned her head away and decided that it was time to start looking for Polaris and the other two. Or more accurately, Polaris A, Polaris B and Polaris Ab. Mhhmm. She had checked them when she was flipping the pages in search of the charm. Because she knew it'd be hard to look at the textbook while her eyes were seeing everything super close.

Now, to the sky she looked up. She predicted that finding the stars like that would be easier. Waay easier. But it first it was awkward seeing the sky like that. Not hard just different. She probably should have been making sure to get used to the sky's view instead of surroundings, hopefully she'd be able to be done before the deadline. No she had to! Closing her eyes for a split second then opened them. And so the serious search for Polaris had started.

Not surprisingly, she was able to find big dipper easily and like two seconds later she found Polaris A. So much easier. Now to find the other two. She kept looking closely around Polaris and viola that was Polaris Ab. Small and close to Polaris A just like the picture Professor Flamsteed showed them. As for Polaris B she knew that this one was further from the two other Polaris. And so she let her eyes trail off and search the area around. Minutes later Cassia located Polaris B. she looked from it to Polaris A and remembered the other picture Flamsteed had shown them. Then she was good and done.

Time to get back. She reached for her wand and tapped her eyelids muttering ,"Finite," and her sight was back to normal. Her eyes did burn a little bit but it was nothing she couldn't tolerate. Cassia retrieved the parchment and started scribbling the notes.

Folding the parchment neatly then slinging the bag over her shoulder , she held the sextant firmly then took off towards the classroom. She got less than ten minutes to get back to class.
