But still, the librarian didn't seem THAT mean that he would put her in a body bind because she didn't want to answer a question. Even so, Derf's concern for her and his willingness to save her from it... was cute. And worrying.
Natalie eyed the professor for another moment, glad when he didn't wave her wand at her or make her answer any questions. Then she turned her attention back to Derf when they moved onto the activity. It was harder for her to try and focus now, after all THAT. Derf's little tidbit of information helped. Telescopes only took pictures in black and white? "Really?" she responded, her nose wrinkled. "That's lame."
She followed Derf to station three and looked at the image of their nebula. "Oooh, that's cool." Then she looked at their textbook to try and figure out what it was. It wasn't dark... It wasn't red... It was glowy, though. "Is it a reflection nebula? 'Cause it's all bright and stuff." Sure didn't look like a horsehead, though, so that easy one was out.
Derf continued to eye the picture while Natalie spoke and couldn't help but feel a bit of an awkward jolt at her calling it lame that the telescope thingy didn't take color pictures. "Just because you can't see all the colors...doesn't mean you can't appreciate the beauty of things..." he replied softly, a bit defensively really. For reasons. "But like...the telescope thingy has cameras on it that measure other things...so they can add the color later....they use color as a tool, you know. To like... enhance an object's detail or to visualize what ordinarily could never be seen by the human eye." Especially HIS eyes but he wasn't going down that path again.
"Crab nebula...see? This oval bit is the shell," he stated after a bit. "What was a reflection nebula again?" He looked down at his textbook for the definition. "Um...maybe?" Derf honestly didn't know and just WORDS were not helpful for the Hufflepuff who was more of a visual learner. Kinda wished they had been shown example of each before being thrown into the mix. "But I DO know that this is the Crab nebula....and I know station five is the Horsehead nebula..."
For what THAT was worth.

he didn't have a clue. This was not going to go well. Maybe he could just go ask his mother. Would she tell him?
"Okay, well I think that's it right there." He pointed to a random spot. If nothing else maybe his mother was seeing him be a pretend leader of the group and trying. So putting things in his notes he looked around. To the next station, it seemed they needed to go.
Headed to the next one he looked at it and tried to determine the nebula in that one. This was just the worst, he hoped librarian man was happy. Maybe his mother would give bad marks on his evaluation.
Well this was all of the class? She was so confused,
but then maybe they had this lesson before and knew all they needed to know about Nebulas and that's why he jumped into stations so quickly.
Gabby looked at her parchment and quill to make sure it was getting everything and pointed to ask a question to the professor later. She had thought it odd when a librarian was also a professor, but as the board had decided not to hire another professor it all worked out.
Getting up from her seat she moved to the stations to get a better look.
"Excuse me, children, can you explain what you are looking at right now?" Maybe they would enlighten her on what they knew and didn't know.
Um..........wasn't that kinda obvious?
And Derf did NOT like being referred to as a CHILD. Why he always appreciated Levi for, you know, talking to and treating him like a person rather than a lost child or something. No coddling with that Gryffindor. Just ask the Book Maze about THAT.
But...er...since no one was answering her and Derf thought THAT was rude...Derf figured he ought to, you know?
"Pictures," he stated, plain and simple - to the point.
Right? Right.

“All right everyone, if you all would come back to your seats? I have one more question before class time is up.” He said as he moved back to lean on his desk and waited for the students to come back to their seats. Perhaps group work wasn’t exactly a good thing? Well you live and learn yeah?
“Okay last question, could everyone tell me one thing they learned about Nebulae? I want everyone to answer this please.” He said as he looked at them all. No more group work, he wanted to know what had sunk it and what hadn’t. Homework purposes and all.
OOC: Hey Guys! It’s the last question! I’m moving on a bit early cause I won’t be around tonight. You have about 24 hours or so to answer this. Thanks.
Well...that was that then. Shrugging to Natalie as he at least scribbled the two names of the nebulae on their parchment (Crab and Hosehead but with this type left in a sort of vague TBD kind of thing), the third year wandered back to his seat and set the parchment down between both their desks.
Ruffling his hair, Derf tried to think of something that wasn't...lame and raised his hand. "That there are...five different types of nebulae..." he offered up. Although he still wasn't sure HOW to identify them, as was indicated by 'reflection nebula?' written underneath Crab nebula on their parchment and just a series of question marks underneath Horhsehead nebula.
