And finally to the main event, the creativity part of the class involving all the crafty supplies. And their knowledge of each planet of course. Having somehow missed out in making up part of group, Cass found herself alone in her endeavor but she wasn’t too bummed about the prospect of doing the work all on her own. Gave her time to flex her own muscles and ideas without having to worry about clashing with the thoughts of others or relying on them. She had to make due with her own working knowledge of things.

First things first…choosing a planet. With a few minutes of thought, the Ravenclaw opted for Mercury, the smallest planet now that Pluto was excluded. The planet named after the messenger god of ancient Roman mythology. Like the earth’s moon but just a little larger. Oooo…she could maybe use that fact to add a snappy bit to her poster. Something to make it more interesting than just the facts.

That determined, she got up from her seat to retrieve supplies, returning as an idea churned in her mind on what to draw. Black poster board…gray poster board…some glue, some paint, some glitter and scissors for cutting since it seemed a better idea than using magic. With the black poster board as his overall background, the Ravenclaw proceeded to cut out two large circles of the gray, one larger than the other. The smaller one was made to look in the background with the larger one forward as they were both glued down on the poster. Then Cassie proceeded to use a darker grey paint she had mixed up to mark out the impact craters on both.

“Needs a Sun….” she mused almost to herself, adding it in shades of red, yellow and orange on the left side of her poster framing Mercury with the Moon on the other side. Then with the same yellow, the fourth year wrote out the following saying up top. Brother Space Object from Another Mother. Next, she wrote down some facts in white paint:

- Closest planet to the Sun
- Smallest planet in Solar System
- Can be real hot during the day and real cold during the night.


Finally, she added random dots of glue all around the poster where pictures and words weren’t. To this Cass sprinkled the glitter she had borrowed, shaking the excess off. There…A Sun, a planet, a moon and some more stars scattered around randomly in the background showing up small from the other galaxies. She couldn’t help but smile when she was finally done, liking her work and its end result.
