Speculatively, he eyed the pictures, brushing his chin with the feather of his quill in a distracted fashion as he did so. Some of the people in those pictures looked exactly the same age to Ezra's eyes, but he was pretty sure he could at least get the babies right. Ezra knew a lot about babies.

In his clumsy but relatively legible scrawl, he set to work:

SPOILER!!: Ezra's answers
4: You can tell that's the youngest because that's inside the sack of water, which means he's not even born yet! It doesn't even look ready to come out yet, look at its eyes!!!!
10: That baby is out of the sack of water (it has a name, I know, but I don't really know it, I think???) but it doesn't look very comfortable with being among the living (or the living that don't live in sacks of water???), so he's got to be a newborn. He also looks like he's ready to cry, and my little sister, when she was a newborn? She cried a lot, too.
2: Definitely doesn't look like it's (she? he? I'd say it's a boy because it's wearing blue, but gran's favourite colour is blue and she's lady???) ready to cry, which probably means it's now used to be outside the sack of water.
3: She looks like she's old enough to sit by herself without needing anyone to prop her up but not old enough to walk. Maybe not even crawl. Hey, I see teeth!
12: Well, he's eating an apple and to eat apples you need most if not all your teeth so he's definitely older than the girl.
11: I was going to say 8 was younger because he looks it, but then, girls also look older than boys, sometimes, so maybe 8 is actually older.
8: Older!
6: I guess he's a teenager. Looks about my other sister's age, actually.
1: Older! actually, she may be my brother's age...
5: Older! But not my brother's age.
9: See above. : )
13: Ancient.
7: Gran, is that you????? I think she may have too many wrinkles to be gran though I'm pretty sure gran has that same dress...
quote=DaniDiNardo]She was going to take the fact that he never responded to mean that even he understood the sensitivity of the stars. That's why she liked Professor Airey. He understood stuff.

Her attention turned to the portraits when they were revealed. Just a whole bunch of different people...not even one alien? How ruuude. Aliens aged too and they actually had more in common with stars than humans did because they all lived in outer space together doing space-y stuff that humans couldn't do for the same reason as the one the Professor gave for them not being able to go to outer space.

Lame.

She eyed each of them curiously as she listened to him explain. Was that all? Pffft, she could do that...or at least attempt to. Details weren't her thing...She pulled out a piece of parchment and her quill.

Alright...let's see...

SPOILER!!: Parchment

4- Come on! It doesn't even look human!
10- It's all wrinkly, pale and funny looking, has to be a newborn which comes right after the alien looking stage.
2- It's not as wrinkly looking but it doesn't look very smart or like it can do much so it'd have to come next. The useless stage where all they do is stare up at you.
3- That one has to be next because it still looks like a dumb baby, only see what she's doing there, grabbing her fingers, means she can grab stuff and be a potential bother.
12- THIS comes next. This one doesn't grab fingers anymore, no it'd much rather grab your stuff and make a mess. Ruuude. Very rude at this stage.
11- She looks like she could be next because she's got that giddy headed smile. You know that one toddlers give you when you try to lecture them but they don't understand much so they just giggle and hope you find it cute enough to let them off the hook--works surprizingly well too.
8- This one almost looks like he's started developing a brain so he goes next. Still not very old. Still has that face like a boy going for him.
6- I know he looks old but not that old, probably just like younger than all the other older people in the portraits so he fits right there.
1- She looks older than my cousin and my cousin looks older than that boy just now which means she also has to look older than the boy making her come next I guess...
5- He's got that look that says 'I'm ready to move out of Mum's basement'. You typically don't get that look until a little later on and that girl earlier didn't have it but he does soooooo, he goes here.
9- She has wrinkles. I can see that. Not like the old man and woman of course but still there which means she couldn't have gone before the other two grown people. See how that works?
13- Um...yeah...it's an old man...I don't think this one needs explaining, does it?
7- She's even wrinklier than the other old person and her smile makes her look like most her teeth are gone. If I had to guess I'd say they are and only reeeeaally old people lose most of their teeth. Plus she's got that giddy look too...that one you get from too many years of reminiscing.


There. Done.[/quote]

So hopefully he didn't expect anything genius from HER of all people, because he wasn't going to get it.

Text Cut: Parchmentttt
4 - This one looks creepy and creepy things are usually little so I'm gonna stick it down here.
10 - It's all wrinkly and red in the face and also creepy. So after the fetus, maybe?
2 - It's not red anymore, so it goes here. I think.
3 - It's not quite yet a toddler, but is on its way to becoming normal-looking.
12 - Toddler! And most definitely normal looking.
11 - Not old enough to get away with drawing on a wall with Everlasting Ink, but old enough to scam Peppermint humbugs out of people.
8 - He looks more intelligent and not too old but not too young.
6 - Teenager? Like old enough to go to Apparition lessons.
1 - Old enough to get an Apparition license?
5 - He's.. he's like.. like young!old. Or something.
9 - She's OLD. Is that a gray hair? I see a gray hair.
13 - Poor bald guy. I'm sure his head was nice before all his hair fell off. But his mustache is cool.
7 - She looks like my gran times three. The kind where their skin resembles a prune and stuff.

He'd definitely been a pirate ninja at one point, before retiring with his wealth to a house boat in Florida.

BUT ANYWAY. He could do this, even if he was one of the last ones to turn it in.

SPOILER!!: In class assignment
Photos in order from youngest to oldest:

4 - fetus. This itty bitty is still being MADE and hasn't even been properly born yet.
10 - newborn. Baby looks all squidgy and squished like a very very newborn does.
2 - baby. Baby is older than a newborn but still too little to be interesting.
3 - toddler. Older than a baby and is starting to walk and talk and have a personality.
12 - preschooler. Probably still talks kinda funny, but old enough to color on the walls and use the toilet properly.
11 - young child. School aged child, so basically her life has ended. No, just kidding. I like school.
8 - pre-teen child. Life is about to get really really hard for him. But in other news, he's almost ready for Hogwarts.
6 - young teenager. Puberty. Enough said.
1 - teenager. She's actually really pretty, professor. You know her? Does she go here?
5 - young adult. School is done and now he has to get a job. I hope he went to a good school or else his life is basically ruined, or so I heard.
9 - adult. That is someone's mom. She wears mom jeans and kisses booboos and complains about her teenage daughters.
13 - pirate ninja older adult. Almost time for retirement for this guy. I hope he owns a house boat in Florida.
7 - senior citizen/ elderly adult. She has so many candles on her cake that they set off the fire alarms. Every wrinkle is a badge of honor. She looks happy, dunnit? She's the closest to mingling with star dust again, so maybe that's why she's so happy.


and finally......

Nothing to get that excited about, in Ethan's opinion.. but then again, maybe you had to be slightly crazy to want to teach such a mediocre subject.
yep...pretty much
