She kept rubbing, rubbing, rubbing continuously in clockwise circular motions until it was all over the telescope again.

Dropping the old dirty towel onto the table infront of her she grabbed her other clean town, and rubbed the same direction onto the telescope as before, clockwise that is until the telescope was dry. Then, she did it again a second time repeating her first step of using the clean towel and the solution provided - then rubbing counter clockwise after waiting for it to air dry. Then as the dust and debris was now gone, she took her can of Holding Cream and sprayed a layer over the entire telescope.

She waited for it to dry, and sat there calmly waiting for the telescope to be dry. She'd have to work with it in a few days time - what a waist.

"Isn't the looking glass of the telescope the most important part of it?" she inferred, smiling.

Professor Hadley walked around the table as she watched the students cleaning their telescopes. They seemed content with it ... doing it because it was part of the lesson, but had it been their choice, many would have neglected this very important and tedious task.

"Exactly. The looking glass is indeed one of the most important parts, so involves exceptional care. Partly why it is preferable to use manual labor for cleaning the telescopes rather than magical cleaning methods," Professor Hadley noted.

Another question about constellations. So they liked that topic, eh? She'd have to inform the next Astronomy professor of this favorable topic ~~not the cleaning part, obviously~~.

"Yes, it is a constellation, but often seen more in the Winter months," Hadley replied to one of the students that seemed to not mind the cleaning.

"Hey Professor Hadley, did you get this holding cream in Diagon Alley?" *sneaky* The Gryffindor sounded innocent enough, he really just wanted to see if she was a bargin shopper and used things for multiple purposes.

Waiting for a reply, Riley eagerly sprayed the entirity of his telescope with the indicated cream that would keep the pesky dust and dirt monsters off of his clean shiny telescope. He didn't work hard for nothing! He propped the finished product up to allow it to dry and then waited for further directions and a response from the semi-Astronomy Professor.

Uh what was that Sinclair?! Get the holding cream in Diagon Alley?! What did he think this was.... hairspray?

"Mr Sinclair, I assure you this product is not one that could be used for beauty purposes." As for where she got it? The cupboard of course. "I'm not sure where it was originally bought but I do know when I was looking for materials for this lesson, I found it in the cupboard." Obviously.

Well... he understood, but he didn't like the nonsense knowledge.

Again with the tongue poking out, Jake rubbed all the solution off... and then looked at the telescope in disappointment. "I'm sure Antares kept these clean, but some fool really did a number on this thing," he grumbled to himself, grabbing the first cloth and starting over again with rubbing the cleaning solution on. He wouldn't need a fresh towel for later, either... the one he'd just used had plenty of clean space. YUP.

"So... where is Antares? I must have missed it if it was said..."

Wibble.

Weren't you paying attention Jakers/?! Hadley looked over at the seventh year as he asked about Antares. Obviously she was not a replacement for Antares ; she had a decent comprehension of Astronomy, but to the level that Antares knew the material, she was nowhere near it. But seriously, was she THAT bad that he he had to be all sad about it...

"Not the slightest, Jake... If I knew, I wouldn't be teaching this lesson." No. She'd be out there getting him back.

Allow the solution to dry fully before operating the telescope. Alright. This may take up to 24 hours. Say whaaat?

She raised her hand. "Professor? Are we going to wait... 24 hours?" Well, of course they wouldn't. But that would mean that they're not going to use the telescopes.

She hoped that after this telescope there weren't any more telescopes to clean. Now to see what step 6 was.

Whaaa- Might take 24 hours? "Professor, if these take 24 hours to dry fully, what will we do with them for that time?" K-Lee really hoped she didn't have to wait 24 hours.

Not one, but two Slytherins asked a rather similar question about the 24 hour thing. "That 24 hours to dry is simply a precautionary measure to ensure you don't get the cleaning solution on your persons." Hadley assured the two girls. "However, yes you won't be using these telescopes until tomorrow night... BUT I also want to assure you that you won't really be missing anything. It's supposed to be a cloudy night tonight, which doesn't make for much good star sighting."

"Please finish up your cleaning, but don't rush... When you're done, you may leave unless you have further questions about telescopes, constellations, or anything else that I might be able to help you with." Hadley informed the class as a whole. "Just make sure you clean up your workspace and leave a name card with your house and year by your telescope, so I can give you credit. There will be an assignment posted later, so check your notices."

ooc: The lesson thread will remain open for you to wrap up your cleaning process until tomorrow night when I get home from work. SO around 11pm EST on Monday, it will close. Thank you for your patience with me <33
