Sander returned to his workstation after helping the Slytherin boy. Even though the boy was smaller than he was, Sander felt exhausted after helping him. He leaned against the workstation to catch his breath for a couple of minutes. As he stood there, he gazed inside the glass container containing the solar system he had created.

As he watched the planets zip around the sun and the moon orbiting around Rivendell, Sander felt compelled to sing to them. He had been told that music helped calm everything. He remembered a song his mother had taught him when he was a young boy. The tune was similar to the nursery rhyme, The Farmer in the Dell.

Sander leaned over as close to the container as he possibly could, and began to sing softly.

"The Family of the Sun,
Its planets number eight,
Plus other rocky, icy worlds
That we appreciate.

Mercury is hot
and Mercury is small.
Mercury has no atmosphere;
It's just a rocky ball.

Chorus:
The Family of the Sun,
Its planets number eight,
Plus other rocky, icy worlds
That we appreciate.

Venus has thick clouds
That hide what is below.
The air is foul, the ground is hot.
It rotates very "slow."

Chorus

We love the Earth, our home,
Its oceans and its trees.
We eat its food. We breathe its air,
So no pollution, please.

Chorus

Mars is very red.
It's also dry and cold.
Some day you might visit Mars
If you are really bold.

Great Jupiter is big.
We've studied it a lot.
We found that is has many moons
and a big red spot.
Chorus

Saturn has great rings.
We wondered what they were,
Now we know they're rocks and ice
which we saw as a blur.

With atmospheres that swirl
& wispy white clouds too
Uranus and Neptune
are so cold that you'd turn blue.

Chorus

Pluto's small and cold
It has an icy face.
We call it a dwarf planet now,
But it's still quite a place.
"


Sander ended the song. He couldn't tell whether the solar system he had created liked hearing a song about the real solar system...even if it still mentioned Pluto as being one of them, but he hoped they did.

Was it time to leave yet? Sander studied his watch.
