Her head raced and she just went back to her seat. She knew she was supposed to be walking, but she had to think right now. She had to help with points somehow since she was the cause of this. With her eyes moving about to figure things out they landed on the doll next to her.
She was on her feet just as the next question was asked. "Astrology is interesting and I think some of it can find true, but some of it I think is a stretch for truth as some feel Divination isn't fully truth either. " She would have put more thought into it but her eyes were still on the door.
Soon her hand was up, "Ma'am Ewan's behavior is my fault, I do apologize for him. I know I didn't make him have those actions, but his mood coming in here that was me. We've had some arguments and this doll project." She pointed to the doll, "Well I think it's been a bit more than either of us realized. He had spent the last evening with the doll and didn't get much sleep, then most of the day with lessons. I just got her back. If there is anything I can do to help bring back the points Ewan lost, please, I'll do anything." She pleaded with her eyes as well as her words.
She looked down at the doll who was actually being quiet for the moment. She knew she had been spending most of her time with the doll since the problems started with Ewan, but a little blaming the doll couldn't hurt, sorry Mila.
Hearing the professor talk about birth charts and getting a book, Chloe wasn't sure whether to go up or wait to see if she could do anything to help, but she didn't want to get in any trouble and cause anymore point loss so she went up to grab the book.
Maybe she could pass out the books to everyone to earn some points back? Simran walked over to the Ravenclaw as she saw her hand raised, despite there not being a question asked. Surely something had to be quite wrong, perhaps even a problem with the assignment. Sure, the instructions on the birth chart may be confusing, but surely they could manage it together? "No, Miss McCarthy," she said simply. "You are not responsible for the actions of anyone but yourself, and you may not apologise on behalf of another person. The best thing you can do is allow your friend to accept responsibility and consequences of his own actions." "Points may be earned back the way they always are, but this is supposed to be punishment."
And yes, lost esteem among his peers is part of that. SPOILER!!: Nordic Witch Quote:

He did manage to jot down some of the most nessecive notes like the fact that the zodiac wheel was created by the Babylon empire eons ago. Cole was relieved when the lecture was over and they got to work. Filling out his out own unique brithchart was pretty cool since it'd be as unquiely him as fingerprint.
Getting up from his seat Cole fetched the recquired book after having to wait for his turn. Back at his desk, he fished up the clean birth chart and got to work. He was born on October 27th, 2083 at 14.30PM GMT in Liverpool, England. He got to learn that he apparently had dominant planets and even an element too. Reading in the textbook he felt a still a bit confused about what he was supposed to make of the information. Raising his hand Cole asked tentatively "Professor Sandhu I don't get it. What does it mean when it say's on my chart that my dominant element is air?" It had been a few minutes, and Simran had her own chart ready on the blackboard when she saw Cole Vance's hand raised. Picking up the front of her long skirt and shuffling over to peer at his chart, she smiled. "Well, it seems that despite your sun sign, Scorpio, being a water sign, that due to a few dominant traits being air signs, that you are more ruled by air." But wait. "May I borrow your quill for a second?"
Once she had permission, she did a few calculations on the side -- "2 Fire, 1 Earth, 3 Air, 4 Water -- Water. 2 Cardinal, 6 Fixed, 2 Mutable -- Fixed."
"Looks like your signature sign is still a Scorpio, though." Returning to the front, she did a look around to be sure that at least most of them had managed to finish their assignment. Those who did not could at least find a friend to help them finish up in the next activity. "Alright, everyone," she said, clapping her hands together to get their attention. "I hope you're done, because we're about to move on to the next part of our lesson: interpretation." "Now, reading an almanac is an important skill in Astronomy as well and not limited to Astrology, so if you're having trouble and need my help, come see me during office hours." She had her times, as always, posted on the Astronomy bulletin board. "But now, you're going to pair up and interpret these allignments. Give your partner a reading!" "Here's how you go about it: Planets describe what is happening: Mars fights, Saturn holds back, Jupiter expands, and so on and so forth. Where the planet is located describes manifestation. Mars in Aries would be a vigorous, jumpy fight, but Mars in Taurus more gradual and consistent." "Houses show areas of everyday life where these things take place."
As always, these appeared on the board behind her. Quote:

Just so she could be sure they were doing something. OOC: And we're at the end of the lesson! You've got just over 3 days to complete this activity, before I close the lesson. If you need our help, just title your post and we'll be with you!
