Pointing at his own robes he continued "Many of you are probably like Tayla wondering why I've given you special astronomer robes. One reason is simply that the Astronomy tower gets awfully chilly at night. Second because its a celebratory term with Hogwarts being in its 1000th year of teaching young minds like i all of you that I should give you all a special treat."
He paused for a moment to let the last student's slip into their robes and slippers. "Now let's start with some basics. First years what do you know about Astronomy? All other years why do you think we learn about Astronomy?"
Occ: The lesson has officially STARTED! From now on, RP as if you have been there the whole time. Don't forget to deck yourself out in the robes and duck slippers.
Vlimia shuffled her feet in the ridiculous yet cozy duck slippers. At least the special Astronomy cloak was cool. Ooh! First question! What
did she know about Astronomy? She raised her hand hesitantly.
"Umm, there are eight planets in our solar system; the four inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, and the four outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. There are also some dwarf planets in the solar system, the most well-known ones being Pluto, Eris and Ceres." Vlimia said, once she was chosen. That was just about all she knew, except that most of the planets were named after Roman gods, if not all of them. She didn't exactly know what all the gods symbolized, though. Venus was beauty and love, Mars was war or something, Neptune was the sea or water and Mercury was travel. These were pretty well named, in her opinion. Venus was a pretty planet, Mars was red like blood and anger, Neptune was blue like the sea (duh!) and Mercury travelled really fast across the sky.
