Tayla heard Beezus ask about Pluto and offered an answer. "I think it's right that Pluto isn't considered a planet. It's the only one of the original nine to have an orbit that crosses another planet's orbit...and it's really small. But...I guess a dwarf planet is still a planet. Right?"
She didn't know if the two would agree with her last statement.
And here comes another one who seems to be in the mood working with her. "
Oh, hello Tayla." Beezus greeted the approaching Gryffindor with a smile. "
No, not at all. We'd need more heads to work this out," yeah, well, kind of.
And off to the discussion. Well, naturally, she wasn't that interested with the fact that Pluto had been degraded lower than a planet. After all, Pluto wasn't a meteor or a comet and Beezus just happened to be fond of those.
"It is still a planet, yes. Well, I think you can say that. However, it now seems to be lacking some of the requirements on being a planet. And if we really think about it, Pluto don't look like a planet anymore. I mean, it was small before but it grew smaller now because it moved farther away."...She was still about to say more when Elise interrupted.

"Whoops," she muttered under her breath. Their time was up. Now, who'd go up to talk?
"I.." now what was she about to say again?
"I don't really know if I disagree or not." That was highly the truth anyway. She wasn't too keen on being acquainted with the small planet.

OCC: One person from each group summarizes briefly what you’ve come up with in the order above. Then I can move on tomorrow night.
Shortly afterwards, Professor Roslund started writing the list of the students w
orking together. And she could see her name, together with Elise and Tayla. "Uhhhmm..so, who's gonna share what we've discussed to the rest?" she asked the two. Not that they had much discussion about the topic anyway, but at least a sentence or two about what they talked about was good enough.
