I mean all those books had to be rewritten just because a group of people decided what size a planet should be and anything smaller than that is then called a dwarf planet. I mean if I was as short as a House Elf...and no offense to the House Elves because I think that they are really smart...I wouldn't want to be classified as them and not a human!" Alyssa said indignantly.


Ella sat back, nodding in agreement. She didn't completely understand Alyssa's comment on clearing objects from an orbital path so she decided to ask the older badger what that meant. "Clearing objects from it's or-orbital path? How does any planet do that?" Seemed like a hard job, even for bigger planets, but Ella was sure Alyssa could clear it up. As for the house elf point. "That's true. I mean if someone were to do such a thing to humans, there would be...I don't know...protests and things! Who is standing up for Pluto?" Ella frowned, thinking someone should. Maybe she would make some posters for the poor unrepresented planet, hang them around school or something. "I mean I know they can't classify all the round balls in space as planets but Pluto should have been grandfathered in or something!" Ella said passionately, slamming her hands on her legs. She was surprised at her own intensity and smiled sheepishly at her partner.
