Therefore, the Celtic Zodiac is based upon the cycle of the Moon, with the year divided into the 13 lunar months established by the Druid religion." he said as he quicky memorized from his textbook " Very good. Five points for Gryffindor. You know you're really quite good at this...are you cheating?", he asked lightly joking with the boy a bit. If anyone could cheat in the class, a new face was the least likely culprit. Quote:

He was rambling. Yay rambling. " Are you sure? Because if you are then you're absolutely correct. Four points. And, it's 13 months of 28 days plus one." Quote:

"The Druids used a lunar calendar consisting of 13 months, each being 28 days long, plus one intercalary day. And Celtic Lunar Astrology is essentially a Druid Zodiac" Miles said with his hand raised. " Very good. Four points." Quote:

"You can say that again, Sir." She whispered when he said that the humans come from trees theory was very different from what western believe. Upon hearing his next question, she raised her hand. "The Druids used a lunar calendar consisting of 13 months, each being 28 days long, plus one intercalary day. That makes the Celtic astrology a lunar astrology." She thought so, anyway. " Yep! Four points!". Quote:

"They go by a ... lunar calendar, I think, Sir." Clifford tried, raising his hand in the air and peering at his textbook. "There's 13 months, each one being 28 days long, plus one in- inter ... intercalary day?" Gosh, he hated long words. "So I uhm ... guess that means it's Lunar Astrology?" Kapoor listend and smiled patiently as Clifford struggled a bit to get the word 'intercalary' out. " It is Lunar Astrology. Good answer, Clifford. Four points." Quote:

It's a bit like African in that way. Nice of you to point out the thirteen moons. Take 4 points for your answer."
" For two points, True or False, Ivy people are known for being very studious and having a great knack for 'book learning'?"
