Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll Fiyero shot a sympathetic look at Professor Flamsteed. That ghost's appearance had bern awkward for him to listen to, so he knew it had to be embarassing for the teacher! He decided not to ask any personal questions and focus on the lesson at hand. Ok, gravity...
And then Professor Flamsteed slipped on somebody's discarded apple. "Are you alright, Professor?" Fiyero asked unthinkingly. He shot an angry look at some of his classmates who seemed to think this was funny. Poor Professor Flamsteed... tonight just didn't seem to be going very well for him!
Fiyero could barely make out the next question... something about penguins and Antarctica and falling off the earth. He had no idea what the answer was, but he decided to give it a go anyway. "Because the gravitational pull is stronger on Esrth that it is in space," he guessed, hoping it didn't sound like a dumb answer.
