Okay. It was legit. This Professor was indeed weird, just as how most of her peers had described him. Seriously, he WAS wearing a suit (she had to admit that it was a fine piece of fabric, yes), he asked them to bring a baseball glove during that lesson (Astronomy? Baseball glove? When did that become the norm?), he also suggested that them girls wear pants instead of skirts which she so willingly promptly compelled to doing so, he had a 'usage of lint roller' rule before entering the classroom which made things a hundredfold weirder because apparently, she didn't see one when she stopped by the door before walking in.

And now he was taking points from Ravenclaw. HOLYSNITCH! Not again. BLOODYQUAFFLE! Again, under her watch. Why were they losing points sooooooo early? Marcus, WHYYYYY? She was such a failure in keeping an eye over her 'claws. Inner!wibble. Inner!wibble. Sometimes, they're really too curious for their own good.

She didn't have too much time to dwell on her own thoughts though because the man in the suit began to address the class. Professor Flamsteed. Oh, she'd go with Professor Airey. And Professor Airey enjoyed suits, science fiction....and singing?

O.o

He....was.....singing.... Twinkle twinkle little star?

Err. Beezus' palms went together and yes, she clapped. It wasn't a usual thing for a Professor to sing in a lesson, and his first lesson at that. Plus! She loved singing. Not love love love, but she loved to sing...especially when she was frustrated, depressed and bored and yeah.

So, here she was, raising her hand. First song that popped into her brain with the word 'star'. She was very much fascinated with stars. VERY. "Uhm, the song Airplanes, Professor. Although I can connect only a small part of it to Astronomy." But no connection is too small as he'd said, right? Wait, wait...she had to introduce herself! "I'm Beatrice Castell, by the way, Professor." So, back to giving a song. The brunette cleared her throat, blushing slightly before going on. "The exact verse that somehow coincides with Astronomy goes like this:

"Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky
Are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now,
wish right now, wish right now."


Okay, yeah. "Star is present in the lyrics." It OBVIOUSLY had something to do with Astronomy. "And it implies the common belief that wishing on a shooting star comes true." Beaaaaaam. She did that so often. But she was too busy this term that she didn't have the time to visit the Observatory on a non-class setting. Mental note to come back here and do some star gazing. Hm. Definitely.
