Hmm...he should probably get things started, yes?

With a quick flick of his wand towards the doors, the Astronomy professor charmed them shut and then stood up on the elevated platform that the projector was on. Could everyone see him? Yes? Good.

"Hello and welcome to Astronomy! I am Airey Flamsteed and will be your professor this term." And hopefully future terms assuming the post wasn't cursed. "You may call me Professor Flamsteed or Professor Airey, whichever you prefer. Just a bit about me before we begin, and you should probably start taking notes. You will find a pull out desk surface on the right of your seat." He waited a moment to allow them all to do just that. "I was once a Hogwarts student myself, a Gryffindor in fact, and before coming to Hogwarts I worked at the mission operations directorate of NASA in Houston, Texas in America. I enjoy suits, science fiction, and... " He paused for a moment to add emphasis on what he was about to say next. There WAS a reason to his madness. We promise. "...singing." Pausing again, Airey jumped off the platform and began to walk around the circular area to make. "I know that standard procedure is to go over the definition of what astronomy is, but I trust you all to have already read about that in your textbook and if you have not, well, then please do so after class." He didn't want to waste any time on trivial things like that. Unless students were getting this noble subject mixed up with that rubbish that was Astrology. THEN there would be issues and THEN they would go over definitions.

But! Back to singing.

"Singing has been a favorite past time of mine since I was a Hogwarts student. Singing sad songs often has a way of healing. Happy songs help you channel your positive energies. Best of all is that anyone can sing, perhaps not well, but anyone can do it and there is a song for every situation." And he jumped back up on to the platform. "There are even songs that relate to Astronomy. Both directly and somewhat indirectly. Take for example the muggle childhood classic Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." He paused to clear his throat before singing the first two verses.

Applause, yes?

"We see from these lyrics several connections to astronomy. The more obvious connection is the use of star. It is also connected in that it shows man's curiosity of the cosmos and even gives a little bit of scientific explanation as to when most stars are visible in the sky. Most because there was a very VERY big star, our sun, that is most visible during the day because the Earth is rotating around it. When our part of Earth faces it, the sun's blue light - the same light that makes the sky blue, mind you - is so bright that it makes all other stars appear to vanish. BUT ANYWAY! I want you all to take a moment to think about what songs you know that you think have a connection to astronomy. Muggle and wizarding music, it doesn't matter. No connection is too small! Please only share one song please. No need to go into too much detail as to why it connects to astronomy. You may sing a few verses as well if you wish. " In fact, he highly encouraged it. "Oh, and if you could please say your name before you answer I would appreciate it."

And for those students who were probably rolling their eyes at this exercise, the was a point to be made! A very valid point in fact. Yep.

Tiffany was swinging her legs back and forth while this new ~~handsome~~ professor was delivering his long and prepared speech. She dd not move her glance off him but she believed that he was being a little bit...talkative. But that's fine because the lioness was still going to like him and all his lessons no matter what.

He likes singing and suits. Well she had to admit that he looked really good in this suit but actually he would have looked as well in other more casual clothing. Then all of a sudden, he started to sing a lullaby which she used to hear when she was three. Her mum always sung this for her till she was asleep. Even now when he was singing the song line by line, she could still picture her mum sitting at the bedside, slowly patting her head so she could be secured. She missed all those tender touches and pats which she longed for. However she didn't forget to give him a round applause when he finished singing. She was probably the one who clapped the most loudly of all.

Anyway, back to business. Tiffany started to look for a song that she could remember in her mind but it was really hard. She barely remembered all the lyrics from a song, not even the songs that she likes very much but there's one which stuck to her mind. A song that her parents used to sing. "Tiffany Pevensie,"she exclaimed in her energetic tone. "You can call me whateve you want but please don't add a 'Miss' in front of it. It makes me spond old."she added a small chuckle at the end of the sentence. Clearing her throat, she decided to sing.

"The sun goes down, the stars come out,
And all that counts, is here and now,
My universe, will never be the same, I'm glad you came,"

Did she sing well and correctly? She thought that it would be pretty obvious how that was relate to astronomy, right?

"You cast a spell on me, spell on me,
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me,
And I decided you look well on me, well on me,
So lets go somewhere no one else can see you and me."

Okay that was enough, she guessed. "That's clearly about how a person's world can be changed without specific people in their lives,"she replied. That was possiblywhy itmade it as a love song right? Leaning her back to the comfy chair, she quietly hummed the tune of that song she had just sung. Hopefully no one was going to make fun of her.
