The cat that jumped onto the Professor momentarily distracted the first year. She hadn't even seen the cat before it had moved, but clearly it was Professor Kennedy's cat. It looked quite content there. And super cute.

If it were anywhere else she would have refocussed to get it's attention and lure it in for cuddles.

But, alas, she was in fact in a Professor's office and trying to figure out more about a subject that she was going to study for the next few years.

"No," she'd immediately answered, before realising that she actually did have a few questions about the Nebulas, but it was mainly focussed on Astronomy itself. It took a moment before she finally admitted that, "Well yes, but that wasn't my main question."

"I was just wondering what was the purpose for witches and wizards studying astronomy?" she finally blurted out her main question, before her eyes widened with the realisation that maybe, just maybe that came across as a bit insulting to him and the subject he taught. She had to backtrack quickly to fix this.

"Like, don't get me wrong. It's a super interesting class and I'm really enjoying that I know a bit about it but I'm still learning things. I'm liking that it isn't foreign but it's not just everyday life like muggle studies... It's just it does seem less relevant to witches and wizards than the other subjects that we study." at the end of her rambling she was pretty sure that she had just dug herself a deeper hole. But she really was trying to understand and was curious.

And it still didn't make sense to the Muggleborn.
