"Well there's the Forbidden Forrest, filled with magical creatures, such as Centaurs who study the stars and planets to predict the future. Then there's..." Rafe was slightly distracted as he noticed something with black and horse-like that flew overhead, "Wow, and thestrals...anyways. There's also the sky and the sun, which according to some magical astrologers, like a Babylonian says in his Aphorisms, represent raise of prestige, praising of fraternity, amplitude of designs, authority over the powerful, humiliation of the sovereigns, splendor of lights and vanishing of darkness."
Rafe made a face. He didn't really knew if his answer made any sense. He was just trying to remember what little Astrological knowledge he knew. "Professor, sir, I'm sure your knowledge of what is out there would be much more exciting to hear! I'm afraid my little knowledge could never live up to the wisdom you have collected over the years." Rafe smiled. He certainly didn't want to be on this professor's bad side.
Nikki snorted at the other boys answer. You could clearly tell he was sucking up. She was, however, surprised that he could see Thestrals. She'd only ever read about them, and while she was quite curious about them, she hoped never to see one. Ever. But back to the boy. She found the bit a Babylonian said interesting. Maybe he wasn't that much of a twit at all. At least he'd remembered the Centaurs, unlike her. She shrugged, and continued to look out onto the grounds, wishing she could be out in the sun instead of stuck in this room, especially when Lord Borr was bestowing upon her a major headache...
