"Very good all of you! While other relevant astronomical bodies where also mentioned, the one I was looking for was a meteor. Just to recap a bit. What people refer to as a shooting star begins its existence as a meteoroid which is a solid object, space debris moving in interplanetary space that is less than 1 mile in size. It becomes a meteor when it has entered the Earth's atmosphere and creates a visible path of the meteoroid across the sky and lasts about a fraction of a second. This visible path is what is referred to as a shooting or falling star." He paused for a moment to allow students to catch up with their notes and to let all this sink in. "A meteoroid that has passed through the Earth's atmosphere and made it all the way to the ground, surviving the impact, is called a meteorite. Many of your classmates brought up meteor showers. These are when many meteors appear seconds or minutes apart and seem to originate from the same fixed point in the sky." And it just so happened that there would be a surprise for them all at the end of the term. Best not mention that now though seeing as he needed students to be alert for this activity. "So, shooting or falling stars are not real stars at all. Stars are made up of gases, as I explained to Miss Potter earlier." Bits of information that would become very VERY important here in a moment. "Shooting or falling stars are essentially just small rocks flying through the atmosphere really fast. As Miss Phillips mentioned, in relation to the song I assume, one probably does not want to actually try and catch them."

Cue a pause for dramatic effect as he looked around the classroom and made eye contact with each student.

"HOWEVER! That is precisely what we are going to do!" WASN'T THIS EXCITING?!

With another wave of his wand, the lyrics to Catch a Falling Star vanished from over head and soon what could only be described as a meteor shower appeared in its place. Only there was something different about this shower as the streaks of light zooming across the room were two very distinct colors - blue and yellow.

Airey stood in front of the students with a smirk on his face that just seemed to get bigger and bigger with each passing moment. Heh. THIS was going to be fun.

"I would like you all now to, if you have not brought one yourself, to please grab a muggle baseball glove from this box," he said as he levitated a large cardboard box filled with gloves of all sizes for students to see. "When you have a glove I would like you to also put on this protective gear," he continued as he levitated another box with gear in each house's respective colors. "Once you have your glove and gear on please come and stand in front of the projector. Oh...you...um...you may want to use a Sticking Charm on your things, or if you are not confident in your Charms abilities you can put your things in this box and pick them up at the end of the lesson." Airey indicated an empty box to the right of the one containing all of the protective gear. "And no, we will not be playing baseball."

That was for Muggle Studies.

"So, hop to it!"

Shooting star... Sarah had mentioned it, yet it was shrouded in extra information, she was going to tell him about meteor and how thetrail of fire behind the rocket is called a shooting star... when he moved onto the next question.
Sarah also wanted the points the other girl got, why was the teacher satisified with the other girls answer and even gave her points when Sarah had given a lot of information and got a WRONG! Then Sarah got it, the teacher expected more of her then the other student. The teacher knew that she could do better, yet for the other girl it was harder to even get to mediocre level!!!!!! That explained it.

The teacher then basically repeated what Sarah had said... oh what ever.

She went to get a baseball glove and put it on her hands. This glove was HUGE! And bulky and tough. What were they going to be doing with it anyway? She had to take it off however in order to puut on all the protective gear. In the lion colours. Perhaps they were going through a minefield of Edwards boys, the brothers that punch hou when you annoy them them.
She wondered how strong her gear was anyway? Oh yeah the sticking chamr, Sarah reached for her wand and preformed the charm on her satchel (zipped up), her shoes... Did she need to also put it on her clothes?She hoped not.
