Anna MIGHT just take the professor up on the offer but she had her naive doubts that Professor Gert could actually help her untangle her thoughts since she seemed a little perplexed herself. "Woooooow...the experts at Witch Weekly really ARE experts," she whispered to Aurora with another little nudge of the elbow. Nothing about phases to be discussed today, which was only a mild disappointment because Anna actually felt like she may actually know what she was talking about for once. Like the New Moon where there was no nocturnal illumination (and thus had caused a little bit of dramatic panic over some specific phrasing) and was a time to contemplate and ideate! No need at all for her to be worried and fret about the moon's wellbeing now! She remembered now that there was something called a waxing crescent and waning crescent and plenty of other things now too! AND when the moon was closest to her constellation it meant an increase in desire to be helpful and in the service of others! Also meant that she could be a person whose emotions were influenced by practicality, attention to detail, and a desire for order...which she wasn't entirely sure she agreed with but then it also made sense since she was, well, trying to find her order in the world and was paying very close attention to a very specific detail. "You know...moon and the lion being close to one another means that you are inherently more generous and that then manifests your their readiness to share your essence," she whispered to her bestie some more while Professor Gert address the rest of the class on their guesses. "Helps make you more organically optimistic and able find the light, even in the darkest times. Although...I hardly need the stars to tell me all that about you."
By the time Professor Gert had moved on beyond addressing everyone's questions, Anna was on another planet entirely...which maybe explained why she had missed that there had even been a question asked in the first place - to which a few moments later she realized that Professor Gert had been pretending to be a sphinx with a riddle of sorts. There were a few delayed blinks looking around at her peers and her attention swiftly drawn to the model in the center of the room...which was absolutely dazzling and the Hufflepuffle really wanted to get up to admire the craftsmanship. It was just so beautiful! "Eclipses have phases too," she noted, though she said so more to herself and the Ravenclaw beside her than to the class as a whole.
