That's exactly what he'd do.

"Shrink rays..." he said musingly, a grin playing on his lips. "I'm afraid I'm not authorised to say whether those exist or not." He clapped into his hands. "And what a pity, Mr Miner, that the lesson seems to be over just now."

He couldn't suppress a little smirk. "Homework will be on the blackboard, make sure to tell the fellow students in your house if they missed these two lessons, aaand..." Risu glanced at the clock on his desk. "Well, I will be around for at least another 30 minutes or so to answer your questions if there is anything unclear from what we talked about. Great job, everyone, I'm really pleased with how much you understood."

He nodded, satisfied, and turned to wave his wand at the blackboard. Scrawled writing appeared.



Homework

Please explain the following terms briefly (i.e. two or three sentences each):
- time dilation
- length contraction
- uncertainty principle
- wave-particle duality

Homework can be handed in until 11.59pm GMT on Saturday, 13 November. This assignment is worth up to 16 points. (Four points each.)

OOC: Make sure to read the submission guidelines carefully.
"That I do," Alex grinned, no idea what Antares was thinking. And good job, too. He'd have got some definite ideas.

He scrawled down the homework on a fresh bit of parchment and tucked it into his Astronomy subject folder (decorated with stars as well as scientific diagrams) which was open inside his bag. Once everything was put away the seventh year stood and slung his bag over his shoulder. That being done he grinned at Antares and saluted. "You can expect a visit from me later sir... I have a heck of a lot of homework to do right now. Later boss!"
