A belly stuffed…a long trek up the multiple stone staircases complete, you reach the top of Hogwarts’ highest tower in time for Astronomy. The usual warming charms are in place to keep the chilly December night air at bay outside the open tower room as you step inside. As for the actual outside, Mother Nature has apparently gotten the message that there was an astronomy lesson going on tonight, the night sky wonderfully clear for the most part as if Professor Gert had been able to specifically plan it that way.

The woman in question is standing off to the side of one of the large archways near the farther front end of the room. Her face a polite smile as her attention lay caught between the sights beyond and lying in wait to welcome everyone to the latest lesson. Take a seat at one of the familiar curved desks and prepare to learn. Your curiosity as to the topic of the evening will be satisfied shortly.
