She was listening though when the woman asked questions about Jupiter's moons. Yes, she knew them, because despite her distaste of the professor, she did value the material and her grades. However, as others had already answered the question and since there was little point in repeating answers, Skylar merely wrote them in fancy lettering on her parchment: Callisto, Europa, Ganymede and Io. Fancy lettering mostly because it took up more time to bubble in her letters.

Looking up after finishing her lettering of Jupiter's moons, she blinked as she realized the Professor had moved on to talking about Moon Phases, only she didn't really talk or lecture them but wanted them to research about them. Flipping open her textbook, she jotted down five or so points she found:

SPOILER!!: notes

And now they had to do an art project demonstrating what each of the moon phases looked like on a poster board. Going up to the front of the classroom to collect some supplies, she made her way back to her seat, looking around to see if there was anyone who maybe wanted to work with her. If not, that was cool too.

Kitty went up to collect the materials she'd need to build the moon phase demonstration. She was usually good with art, so this should be a breeze. The thing she liked most about it was it didn't really involve magic. Sure, she loved magic, but it was cool knowing that Muggles could do much of this activity if they tried.

One poster board, seven small wooden balls for the moon phases, and one much larger one for the sun, along with paint. As she was heading back, she caught sight of a younger student who she recognized as Skylar looking around at everyone. Did she want a partner?

"I'll partner with you if you want," she offered helpfully, coming up beside her with supplies in hand.
