Penelope had read Professor Flamsteed's new rules for astronomy class, and she wasn't sure if she would like it. Apparently Professor Flamsteed was now Admiral Flamsteed, and she would be called Lieutenant Commander Penelope. Why had Professor, no, Admiral Flamsteed decided to add the Star Trek stuff to class this year? It seemed like the kind of thing that he would have done right from when he started teaching at Hogwarts. After using her lint roller on her clothes, Penelope looked in the box of pin things. Taking the fifth year pips from the box, she pinned them to her robes.
Walking into the classroom, Penelope noticed that everything was set up very differently. Why was there a sand pit? Floating, she was floating! Why were the desks floating so high off the ground? What was Yoongi going to think about the desks being so high off the ground? Where was Yoongi? Penelope would keep an eye out for him. For now she would air swim over to Professo- Admiral Flamsteed.
Penelope did the vulcan salute with her hand when she got close to Flamsteed. "Live long and prosper, Admiral Flamsteed." It felt weird to start calling him Admiral Flamsteed after all those years of saying Professor Flamsteed. Sort of reminded her of how he had made them call him Captain when Hooksteed happened. No, no, no, she couldn't think of that. It was bringing back bad memories. Penelope's face felt hot and her eyes were getting a little teary. Breathe, remember to breathe. Don't start crying. Okay, she wasn't going to cry or anything like that. Crying was good, but not right in front of Prof- Admiral Flamsteed. She should probably go find her seat now.
Finding her seat, Penelope read the instructions that were written on the board. Were they going to get fancy name plaques again? She wrote her name on the provided parchment.
Quote: Lieutenant Commander Penelope Wright
Fifth Year Penelope tapped the parchment with her wand and watched as it turned into a wooden plaque. That was so cool! They got their own name plaques! She looked over at Admiral Flamsteed. What would they be doing? Why were they floating? What would happen if someone fell out of their chair?
