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!"

Eliza took down some notes about the differences in the words. She was still a little fuzzy on what a comet was, but she would save that for another day. All she needed to know now was stars were gas, meteoroids were big and in outer space, meteors were in the Earth's atmosphere, and meteorites were the ones that made it all the way to the ground. And now we're going to...WHAT?! CATCH THEM?!? She felt her eyes bug out and allowed them to dart to the other students in the room. It sounded fun and all, and the colors whizzing across the room were pretty, but catch them? Thoughtful as she was about the dangers and complications in attempting such a thing, a coward she was not.

The second year Ravenclaw marched her way up to the box of gear and gloves and tucked herself into the protective padding, pulling the straps tight. As for the sticking charm? Well, she didn't know that yet, but she hoped setting her things aside would be just fine. She then plucked a worn grey glove from the box, as she did not have any sporting equipment of her own, and awaited instructions with her game face on. Yes, her game face.

And then she was floating. This is amazing!!! she exclaimed inside her head. She felt a large grin spread across her face as she rotated through the air and watched the meteors shooting back and forth across the room. This was not going to be easy. She spun in her suspended state to see how the other students were approaching the meteors. She'd never really played baseball, but she thought if she could just observe for a few minutes she would get the hang of it. They sure are flying fast...I don't want to lose an arm trying to nab one, that's for sure!

She squinted her hazel eyes against the bright flashes of light and flinched a few times when a student looked like they might crash into her. Once she felt a little better prepared for the situation, she decided to propel herself upwards to give it a go. Time's a wastin'! she thought with one eye squeezed shut preemptively, and reached out her arm towards what she thought was a blue meteor's trajectory.
