Continuing to make his way around the classroom, he gave students the occasional approving nod or double thumbs up as they worked. The varying numbers on their devices was...a little concerning, but he was trying keep a goblet is half full mentality.

The balloons trashed about violently and began deflating. A thin layer of ice crept across the surface of the balloons and the device attached, sending ALL OF THEM plummeting into the freezing white abyss below. ...and then THAT happened.
"EVERYONE STEP AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS! BACK TOWARDS YOUR SEATS!" he barked. Just in case something else were to crash into the glass and break them. It was a wonder they hadn't shattered when they had slammed shut just now. His own cheeks had been cut by what he imagined was a tiny piece of ice and a thin blood red line tore across his cheek. Nothing too worry about though, just a flesh wound. "Is everyone alright?"
DID THEY REMEMBER THAT THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS DYING IN ASTRONOMY? HMMMMM?
Merlin, over exaggerating much there, Flamsteed?
Glancing out the window nearest him once more, he could just barely make out the shape of several balloons zooming past the window in ways that seemed to defy scientific theory.
Well...at least that proved ....something....

He looked for Professor Flamsteed, with a look of complete worry settling on his face."Uh, Professor, what are we supposed to do now!?!" Did this mean that the winter was gonna stay for a long time? Because yep, that's what he thought it meant. Okay suddenly dropped a million degrees in here because it's even COLDER now, if that's even possible! Walking calmly back to his desk, the astronomer leaned both hands on his desk and knotted his brow as he stared at its wood surface. He just barely heard the Gryffindor ask a question. Now? Now? Well...they couldn't very well do the activity...and without any readings to work with trying their hand at meteorology would be unfulfilling...so. SIGH.
He turned his attention to Miss Newell and let out an awkward chuckle. "Afraid you are right, Miss Newell," he replied, his lips pursing as he continued to think. "I regret to say .... that is all that we can do today." Awkward pause and lots of squirming. "As you all can see, and most likely suspected prior to our failed experimentation just now, this weather is beyond scientific theory. Now, I understand that many of you have theories as to what is causing this, I have my own as well, but before we all go jumping to conclusions I would like to propose an extra credit opportunity to those interested. I have been dabbing in meteorology myself to try and figure this weather out, but this is far beyond science and..." He paused for a moment. Please no one panic, okay? "...there is something else at work here. I have asked Professor Botros to assist me with my research in the library, so any students who wish to help us are welcome to it. I promise it will be worth your time." Hopefully the old chap had found those books on the Star Temple of Avalon he had requested.
Rapping his knuckles on his desk three time in frustration, he took a stiff stride forward.
"Homework will be posted on my announcement board later today, along with information about this extra credit research session. Class dismissed."
OOC: I will close this thread approximately 24 hours from the time of this post, so if you wish to catch up you may. Just title your posts 'activity catch up' or something similiar 
Thank you all for coming! *boo hiss hiss at The Narrator*
