The first thing you may notice as you step into the Astronomy classroom on this especially sunny afternoon is that Professor Flamsteed is no where to be seen. Is this another test your constant vigilance or is the man uncharacteristically running late? Which ever the reason, you best find a seat among the large semicircle of desks and follow the instructions on the blackboard that read:

Quote:

Take out a quill and write your FULL name and year on the piece of parchment provided.

Once you have done so, give it a tap with your wand.

The parchment, enchanted by the professor himself, will turn into a sturdy wood name plaque when you do so.

Did you remember to use the lint roller on the small table outside of the classroom? It was there next to the sign that reads, "Not to be used as a brush for your hair" and has the signature of a former student in the bottom right corner.

So come on in and have a seat. Class will begin....well...as soon as the professor graces you all with his presence.
