One of the first things you experience as you enter the classroom - something really not uncommon these days given the state of the castle - is the skin crawling sensation of sticky silk latching on to you, your clothing, face, and hair. Batting away the webs, you may notice a lint roller or two suspended in the air from these unwanted ‘decorations’ of the classroom. No doubt left there after getting tangled up so much while Professor Flamsteed tried to clean up the place before class that evening.

The Astronomy classroom itself is arranged in the usual semi circle of desks facing the empty blackboard. A large yellow box with a bold black question mark levitates in the front of the room in clear sight. Professor Flamsteed can be seen circling it with his fingers stroking at his invisible beard as he ‘mmhmms’. Every now and then you will see him walk over to the box and peek inside a couple times, each time looking more curious and surprised than the last.

Did you remember to use the lint roller on the small table outside of the classroom? It was there next to, unbeknownst to the professor, altered sign that now 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, and possibly wipe off your seat before doing so unless you fancy a lacey bum thanks to the webs all over. Class will begin soon.

▸ question 4 :: How is the box like outer space?
▸ question 5 :: What does the word 'potential' mean to you?
▸ CONTENTS OF THE BOX REVEALED!
