It was so beautiful. SO BEAUTIFUL. More beautiful now that she'd survived that freaky trip into...wherever she'd been taken that day on the bridge with Etta. Yeah, she'd much rather be here in class tonight where things were familiar.

"Hello Professor!" The brunette gave her usual curtsy and went to find herself a good seat in the middle of the room. The best seat. Now all she had to do was set out her things and wait for her people to arrive.

"Hello Miss Botros."

As she entered the room, Janelle managed to change her yawn into a smile. "Hello Professor", she said, as she spotted the Astronomy leader at her desk.

As usual, there was little evidence to cue her to the topic of the day's lesson. Janelle had plenty of seats to choose from, since she was pretty early to class. She gave a "hello" to the younger Slytherin (Junia) who was already seated and plopped herself down at the nearest desk. Taking out her materials, Janelle waited for class to start.

"Hello Janelle."

The worst part about Astronomy was that Abey was nowhere near as good at it as he wanted to be, given that it was essentially about what was in the sky, and he loved the sky. This lesson required smarts that Abey was pretty sure he would never have actually. But the lessons were usually fun enough that he wasn't totally discouraged from the subject; plus, he liked the art they sometimes did.

"Hi Professor!" Abey chirped as he entered the classroom, and immediately spotted Juni, because of course he did. He went ahead and took a seat NEAR her. Near enough that he could lean across and get help from her if he needed to, but far enough that meant her friends could sit next to her if they wanted; it was less scary to do that now that he had made other friends of his own too. See, also this time he sat in a different seat than hers, and didn't try to squish onto the same one. But he hadn't actually tried to do that since that one Astronomy lesson anyways actually.

"Junebug!" That was his way of saying hello. Hello, Junebug.

"Good evening, Mr. Botros."

Juno quickly found a seat with two seats on either side of her, hoping one would soon be filled by a specific seventh year. She grinned just thinking about him.

"Hello Miss Darcy."

There were blankets too. The smile on her face turned into a grin as she greeted the professor before walking towards an empty seat. "Hello, Professor Salvatore."

She plopped down comfortably on a chair that was closer to the front of the room and set her bag on the floor, eagerly waiting for class to begin.

"Good evening."

Ahh there she was.

Leon threw a quick "Hello Professor! " At Professor Salvatore before moving to sit next to Juno.

"Hey Jun.." He said as he smiled and nudged her gently.

"Hello, Mr. Kennedy."

He also wasn't really looking forward to the lesson being at night. He preferred when they were during the day like a normal class. The night was a time for sleeping, and it was much harder to concentrate when he was tired.

"Hello professor," He said with a smile before going to find a seat. He still missed Professor Flamsteed and still instinctively looked for a lint roller before each lesson. Not that he had anything against this new professor. She was pretty cool too.

"Good evening."

Stars and planets were pretty and cool and pretty cool until you suddenly needed to learn constellations and just how many moons Saturn had. Which, he could never remember, coincidentally. Did it even have any???

"Hello, Professor." Levi took his usual spot in the back and prepared for feeling like a failure for the duration of the less. Fun, fun, fun.

"Hello Levi."

So she hadn't been sleeping, and hadn't needed to wake up especially for the class either.

"Hello professor." Charlotte sat down somewhere, not even worrying about where or who with or anything.

And normally she'd be so excited for a night class. but who would she work with now?

"Good evening, Charlotte."

The woman looked at the time on her watch and looked around at all the students that were currently here. Not a huge turn out but at least she had some students to teach today and at least there were students that were willing to learn at this time of night. She knew very well that all the students were most likely tired out from the day. Caroleena stood up from her desk and walked to the back of the classroom and closed the door. "Good evening everyone." she smiled as she walked back to the front of her desk. "I know the time of night is a little later than what I've been teaching my lessons but I figure a change was in order. If any of you want some tea to keep you awake I have some tea over there." she said in a sweet tone, which was very unlike her. Professor Salvatore pointed over towards a table with some tea pots full of hot water and many boxes of tea.

"For tonight's lesson we will be learning about the moons in our solar system. In order to get to know about the other moons in our solar system there's some information that we need to cover about our moon. " she paused momentarily. She had a tendency of doing so to make sure students were paying attention but to also allow any students that were writing knows could catch up. "Simply, what is a moon? A moon is natural satellite that orbits a planet or minor planet. That being said there is no established limit on what is considered a moon. Really any celestial body in space that has an orbit is able to have a moon." Another pause for anyone taking notes.

"Earth's moon," she began at she pointed towards the sky, the moon was currently visible in the night sky. "is 238,900 miles away from us. Our moon is about 4.53 billion years old and has a twenty-seven day orbit period."

She would get into more information as soon as she got the first question out of the way before moving on about the other planets.

"We have eight planets in our solar system, can anyone tell me about how many moons are currently in our solar system?
