Chssh!

The little foam sphere became a moon as Cutty stabbed it with the stick and held it up to his face blocking the light from the bluebell flame casted expertly by Professor Flamsteed. No wandwork required. Happygoody should be glad. As the Astronomer Royal related the phases of the moon to their little foam samples it gave the tactile learner a better sense of a thing he'd seen described many times in many ways in books.

He lifted a heel out to the left and took a step, the foam sphere moon took on some light on the right side. The crescent. A familiar sight. He inched again to his left to see the first quarter, which had to appear as half of course for being half of the half of the moon they could see. Standing there in the dark, he then began to shift his moon to the right and to the left giving himself the visual of all of it's phases. A part of him wished for Headmistress Truebridge as he would've liked her input on what Flamsteed was saying earlier about the effects of the lunar phases great and small.

"Gibbous. The Waxing Gibbous moon, sir." To the riiiiight. To the leeeeeft went the little foam moon.
