Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna Oh look at this...Flamsteed was starting the lesson.
Ben briefly wondered if there was a reason for that, other than the fact Astronomy was the first alphabetical. Or that the astronomer was the first one hired and as a head of house had special priviledges. However as the man began spouting information, including the revelation of the topic of the class, the Gryffindor didn't have the time to think further on the matter.
Not that he really cared.
Titling his first sheet of parchment, WEREWOLVES, he began listening and jotting down anything important, especially stuff he hadn't previously known. Watching at the sphere sticks floated to each of them on the professor's wordless instruction Ben managed to avoid getting hit by one in his distractions. Now that would have been bad, not that he would have cared about being hurt physically while he was struggling emotionally.
He slowly, almost reluctantly, got up to his feet as instructed, taking a position beside his desk. Ben would be a quiet, unhappy earth as he raised the rod infront of him, the pseudo-moon moving with it to block his sight of the bluebell sphere while the rest of the lights went out around him. The Gryffindor heard the first question but was beaten out from answering with what came to his own mind.
New moon sounded right, but there was no point in repeating it as a bunch of the other students had already given it. So he simply stayed in his position, quietly awaiting the new directions to be given.
