His last name was mentioned in his reading? Heh. He wondered if Mr. Katharos had put the pieces of that puzzle together. "John Flamsteed I assume, yes?"

"Older students may be familiar with the Telescope Focusing Charm, Lens Focalis. We will be using a variation of that charm today..." Pause for effect. "On our own eyes." Pretty cool, huh? "The wand movement is the same, a simple swish followed by a tap on your closed eyelids. The incantation is Oculo Focalis. First years and those who are uncomfortable with charmswork should not be worried. You will not harm your eyesight by not performing the spell properly." So breathe kids. Breeeeeeeeathe. "One word of caution. Extended use of this spell WILL cause tiredness and red eyes. Sort of think of how one looks after not sleeping properly. Bags under the eyes is also a common side effect."

The professor then tapped his desk and summoned a stack of posters from the drawer when he then levitated around the classroom.

SPOILER!!: the poster

"You may work alone or with a partner to practice the charm. What I want you to do first is to test your eyesight using this muggle eye chart. Place the poster on the wall and then stand back various distances to test how well you can see and then attempt the charm to see if there is a difference. Once you all have gotten the hang of things we will move on to looking at actual stars. You may begin."

OOC: Just as Professor Flamsteed said, you can do this activity alone or pair up with someone else. For full credit you should have a minimum of 3 posts. Remember that this charm will not cause any serious eye damage. Your character MAY experience a slight burning sensation or tiredness in the eyes, but nothing too extreme.

Please number your posts to make it easier for me. Pretty please with a cherry on top?

I will hopefully post the second part of the activity tomorrow morning GMT+9 before I have to take my little man to the hospital for his shots, but you will still be allowed to continue this activity if you have not completed it so don't worry

......Constellations in December? oooh right..he must have dozed off at that part. But not anymore! He was going to pay attention like a hawk! "Oops, sorry professor!" he chuckled. Actually, he didn't even feel THAT sorry, he thought it was more funny. But atleast he had PART of the question right by saying that Lupus was a constellation.

John Flamsteed... Daichi frowned deeply as he tried to think back about what he had read over and over for his studies. "I think so..." he answered slowly and then it hit him. With a loud GASP! the Slytherin looked at the professor with twinkling eyes and even pointed to him almost hyperly. "You're his great-great-great-great?" how many greats were there? "Grandson?!"

THAT WAS SO COOL! And he demanded a bowl of that icecream he had in his office now! Icecream..in the winter..YAY!

Tiredness, red eyes, bags under his eyes if he got the spell wrong? PFFFT! Way ahead of you Flamsteed! Because the Slytherin already had those boxes checked before coming here.

Testing time! He got up from his seat and quickly grabbed a muggle eye staring chart... He sticked it to the wall and did a few steps backwards was about to read the chart when...

"Please someone be my partner." Laura decided that she wanted to have a partner to work with after all two heads were better than one right, she was sure that someone would want to be her partner.

Someone mentioned icecream. He didn't know why but he was seriously craving for it and well, the hufflepuff did mention she would give some... sooooo... Daichi speed walked to the girl and grinned from ear to ear.

"I can be your partner~" now where was that icecream?!
