He then turned his attention towards all those who had gathered thus far. "Thank you everyone for coming today," he announced, rapping his knuckles on the table twice to hopefully get everyone's attention. "You make work alone or with a partner or small group while you look through the various materials we have on the table. Now, the majority of these have some reference to archaeoastronomy. Some of you may recall I mentioned the topic briefly in my first lesson of the term. Now, with archaeoastronomy you are very likely to come across passages with runic scripture and this is why I've asked Professor Botros to assist us today." He paused for a moment to drum his hands on the table a few times before continuing. "Look for any connections to the weather, specifically winter weather. Even large winter storms in so-called muggle history could give us some insight into what is going on here if we cross reference it with dates in the wizarding encyclopedia's and the like." Really...just look for ANYTHING! "Professor Botros and myself are here for any assistance you may need. So go ahead and get started." OOC: go ahead and search the web and/or SS archives for anything you think may be applicable :3
She understood the lack of smiles, really. No need to worry about that, Flamsteed. Lotus still nodded and smiled at him. But the smile quickly vanished at the realization of something he had said when he addressed them all.
Wow. They actually have NO IDEA what this is all about, DO THEY?! The time to panic is now. Text Cut: Partner Buddy #1! Quote:

This one kinda...overstayed it's welcome. It was only fair. "I can't forget the way the wind ate the balloons Lottie. You saw it. Reckon the same might happen to us if we walk outside?" That was what got her. The futility in trying to leave with a storm like that outside. They were legit TRAPPED. Merlin she hated that word and the idea behind it.
The nod told her the Professor's mood wasn't any better and she couldn't blame him. When was the last time any of them saw the sun? It seemed like forever ago. Winters were never meant to last this long. She needed out of this place and away from half these people.
Her eyes scanned the table at all the books and parchments and scrolls and whatnot they'd be going through. Reminded her of why she didnt come to the library often...but what else was there to do? "I think we can start with these books right here." She said, finalling getting off her bestie's shoulder. "Work our way around or something." Because they were working together, yes? Yes. Of course. "Cass, wanna come search with us?" That wasn't actually asking. That was more 'get your butt over here, we have to find a way to end this winter' but Cassia would understand this.
Or not, no panicking. But that's what his words meant. That they basically had no clue and that's why they had taken to the students to help them search for something, ANYTHING. That was dangerous, man. At least she knew where she stood. And to answer her bestie's question in the most honest manner, "Yes, we'd die in seconds." SO DON'T GO OUT, don't even stick your head outside any windows, either.
Perhaps she should show Lex that one movie about something similar to this situation when they're finally out of Hogwarts. They will be out of Hogwarts, she'll make sure of that. If people could escape Azkaban, then they can certainly escape Hogwarts.
Archaeoastronomy. Right.
Books? Hmmm, she'd take anything, truth be told. "I'll take some papers, and a few books," whatever was in front of her, but since she had no theories others than what was written in 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series, then she had some catching up to do.
ALSO, YES, CASSIA, COME TO US! ^__^ |
