Celeste looked to each of the students curious and patiently waiting to see what she would get. And if anyone would figure out it was Hufflepuff that missed our in their mascor. “Hullo Ms Marchand,” she greeted the girl as she arrived to join the growing group. Hamish giving an almost correspoding hoot to return the attention sent his way. HIs wings shivering in pleasure which caused the professor to chuckle ever so softly at the light touch on her skin.

The Hufflepuff was the first to speak up. “Aye, th’ proud sign of th’ Gryffindor,” she confirmed with a nod and a smile. And while it always struck a chord with her as an alum, it always made the astronomy professor think of her younger cousin whose birthday fell under the appropriate star sign. Gazing to her left, she waved her wand revealing the disallusionment charm on another telescope. “While tis somewhat visible to the eye, this telscope has been positioned to pick out the resting feline.” Which they woukd be free to gaze at at any point of the evening while deciphering the exact shape the astronomers picked.

At least Leo looks mostly like a lion.

AH there was the Snake theme continuing from one of the resident Slytherins in attendance. “Weel technically it is one of th’ constellations that cuid represent Slytherin, as well as th’largest of all constellations, because tis found on the horizon between the northern and southern celestial hemisheres it is hard to spot up here in Scotland.” Between the latitude and the abundance of trees it was a no-go. Another wave and another telescope revealed that was aimed at other constellation. “Fur tonight, we ur using Serpens which is situated in the northern hemisphere wi’ us.”

Then Ms. Archard followed her classmate in picking our their matching house mascot. “Aye….that Aquilla is,” she confirmed with a nod, revealling the last of the four telescopes she had set up for this evening activities. “Noo this telescope,” Celeste said, moving to touch the one she had first been fixing and first to show, “Is directed at th’ star that represents Hufflepuff. Also known as the Honey Badger, one of tae more recently discovered an named stars in our night sky.” Recent as in the last 200 years that is.

“Feel free tae look at th’ constellations both whit or whitout th’ telescopes as well as see if ye can pick out any additional ones. If ye do, I’ll be glad tae confirm what ye ur seeing.”
