Abby watches as Professor Perry manages to throw all the telescopes out the window. [I]This guy isn't much better than Borr. The level of education at Hogwarts is going down the toliet this term. She watches the telescopes as the hit the ground, bounce, and hit it again.

Yeah, it can be a bummer sometimes, but at least it keeps us grounded on the earth. Professor Perry, all may not be lost. Why don't you let us students try to accio the telescopes back up here and repair them? Please..."

Noticing Wesley nearby, Jake watched her for a few moments, frowning as he decided what to do. His mind made up, Jake joined the girl, tucking his letter into his pocket for later, and placed his hand gently on Wesley's shoulder, giving her a comforting half-smile.

"Well, another one bites the dust! ...and another and another and another after that," LouAnn said, glancing out the window and taking in the sight of all the broken equipment. "We could always just test our ability to see the shooting stars with our bare eyes. You know, sometimes you can still see a lot with an unaided eye." She glanced out into the skies, wondering just how close to being right she was. It...sounded like a good thing to say. After all, what else could they possibly do, hmm?

Miles, during everyone's attention toward the newly discovered flying telescopes *snicker*, had looked around swiftly before getting up off the poo covered floor and started climbing the rafters that the owls sat on, not caring that they too were covered in poo. Looking down he snickered and sat down on one, "Or...we could get higher and see better." Sure why not...sounded good to him. Moving over toward an opening he grinned and looked out. Wow they were high up. Awesome.

Zoe watched as the telescopes fell like they were in slow motion. Absentmindedly she reached out her hand as if she was going to catch them, but she was much too far away. Why oh why hadn't she learned a cushioning charm or something to stop their perilous fall.

In the aftermath Zoe realized that there could still be hope. "Couldn't you perform 'reparo' on them sir and save them?" Zoe asked the professor hopefully.

"No. WE ARE DONE CRYING." Perry shook out his hands and shoulders. No mourning the loss of the telescopes. They were gone. GONE! "Those telescopes are yesterday, and we are in the present. We must move on and be STRONG!"

He turned his back to the window. Why was it getting so dark in the owlery?

She smiled at the thought and laughed as the telescopes flew out of the window...man she wished she had had her camera from muggle studies to take a picture of that little stunt.

This man was crazy.

She raised her hand, "Professor, won't we still be able to see the meteor shower since it's so dark out here without the telescopes?" she remembered watching one from their beach house in Florida.

"Awwww." Perry patted her little brainy head. CUTE LITTLE CLAWBABY. "Don't you know? HAVEN'T YOU HEARD? Stars are VERY far away. We have to look at them through a telescopey thing. It makes the sky look closer. Magic mirrors or something. Very advanced stuff. Don't feel bad you didn't know."

What gives?

"There'd better be a spell to use as alternatives for telescopes," he murmured.

"Yes! Yes, there MUST be an alternative," Perry agreed. He rubbed on his chin with one poo-covered hand. Now, whaaaaaaat was the alternative?

"I KNOW! WE'LL MAKE OUR OWN! WE CAN MAKE TELESCOPES! If you're excited about this plan, trot on over here and give me a fist bump." He offered his fist.

Chris's eyebrows raised at the mention of making their own telescopes. That could be fun. He walked over to the Professor, managing to get over there with only one minor slip in the owl poo-covered floors. He grinned brightly and fist-bumped the teacher. "I'm in!"

Really! Fia knew that Miles was a happy Ravie but really! Did he have to show off in class? Yes! It was Miles of course. "Please watch the poo," she said then turned to the professor and watched him in amazement. He was soooo happy that...she was going to become happy too....and soooo pull something that her best friend would probably do as well. Make fun of him, but to the extent that it would only be funny.

"ALLL RIGHTTT! WHOOOOO HOOOOO!" She jumped up, ran and slidddddddd on the poo covered floor towards Professor Perry. She had her fist ready to bump his as she slid past him in her James Bond stance. "FIST BUMP PROFESSORRRRRR!"

Evelyn's eyes widened from the umpteenth time that day. "Trot over and fist bump?" she repeated quietly in disbelief, scooting away towards the safe wall on the other side of the group, and the deadly window. "I'll help from back here professor!" she called out. "You know...just in case you need some help...from back here!"

Miles looked down from his perch and grinned as they said they were going to make their own telescopes. AWESOME!! Looking down at Fia he smirked and broke into a fit of laughter as she slid to fist bump the professor, nearly...no scratch that...making him slip off but catching himself with his leg so he was hanging upside down. MONKEY MILES OOO AHH AHH!!! Leaning up he grabbed hold of the rafter and dropped down landing right next to the professor and Fia, "Awesome teach!" he said fist bumping him as well.

Kay laughed a little and did the fist-pump thing. "I'm in Professor. It sounds fun." Kay said walking over to where the Professer stood with the others.

Jack nodded like a bobble head as the Professor talked about being in the pastttt. Yes, yes, he was soooo right! No use crying over broken telescopes! They just had to keep on moving into the future. And--maybe he should wash his hands too. There was poo on them. Disease filled POOOO. Ewww.

"I like it!" Jack exclaimed, bouncing over and fist bumping him, making sure it was the OTHER hand. Arts and crafts in Astronomy? This was awesomeeee!

'A fist bumb? Will you clean your hand first?' because you know, he was still covered in poo, and Destiny didn't feel like doing the cleaning spell again.

Spying Evelyn sneaking off closer to the back wall Destiny ran (well slid) over to here. 'Don't leave me here!' she whispered to her.

'Yeah, I think I will help Evelyn back here.' she told the professor.

Wait, they were making telescopes now? this just became the best lesson ever!

Torin eagerly went over to the Professor and fist bumped him, obviously making sure not to touch any er... poo that was on the teacher. 'cause that was just disgusting. He still figured that he would need to wash his hands though.

"YESSSS. Good," Perry was still all bouncy, even with the sliding. He offered his fist to a few of the less enthused students, but it didn't bother him (much) when they didn't take him up on his offer.

"I have the perfect idea for our new telescopes. It's PERFECT I SAY!" Perry pulled out his wand and posed dramatically with it once again.

"NOW... ACCIO TOILET PAPER!" He was going to get every roll in the school for his lovely baby students.

Reese stood where she was, far far farrrr away from the poo-covered people. The only thing she was planning on getting poo on was her shoes, which was kind of hard NOT to get poo on. But, right when the Professor said they were going to make telescopes, a little smile formed on her face and she made her way towards the group. This was exciting! She right walked over to the Professor and fist bumped him, trying her best to not get poo on her, which didn't work. Great, now she had some poo on her hand. Just great.

Turning around, she walked right over to Torin and stood beside him.

He smiled at Reese as she stood beside him. He leaned in and whispered in her ear. "This is the weirdest Professor I ever met yet he's sorta cool in a way. When you look past all the poo." He shuddered.

"I wonder why he wants toilet paper." It could be to clean up the mess, but really it was a lot more logical to use their wands for that.

Toilet Paper, why would he need toilet paper?? Kay thought to herself. "Professor why do we need toilet paper?" She asked as she saw the first rolls through the window.

Evelyn snickered while watching Destiny slide over to her. Kinda looked like fun...No! Not thinking that...and now the professor wants toilet paper? Does he even know how much toilet paper there was in the school?! They were probably going to suffocate in it! Wait...

"What does he need the toilet paper for?" Sighing dramatically in relief when an idea popped up in her mind, she whispered to Destiny, "Is he finally going to clean his hands?"

Winnie was, truth be told, a little confused.

This new professor of theirs...transcended the word "loon". Winnie was indeed a loon herself, and the fact that she could SEE this man's looniness in spite of her own looniness was positively alarming. She sat upright in her chair, politely perplexed, her brow slightly furrowed and her mouth open a little.

BUT WAIT A MOMENT. He had just broken all of the telescopes, and was now Summoning toilet paper.

"TELESCOPES! We're going to make our own telescopes right?" she said gleefully. "Can-" She paused. "Can we use glitter?"

Rolls upon rolls of toilet paper flew into the room and landed in a messy pile in the center of the floor. A few of the rolls headed to the corners of the room, leaving sticky trails in the owl poo.

"WHOA." There was SO MUCH TOILET PAPER. HOORAY. "So the first thing we have to do is unwind all of the paper from the rolls. We need to get ALL THE PAPER off. You can maybe use it to make a pretty dress or a fluffy two-ply chair, if you want."

LouAnn watched the destroyed telescopes a few minutes longer then, upon hearing a summoning for toilet paper, turned around and glanced at Professor Perry to see what in Merlin's name he'd gotten himself into now. They were using...toilet paper rolls...for telescopes? Ha! Had it not sounded like such an amusing idea, LouAnn might have rolled her eyes at the very thought. She'd sort of gotten used to the fact that they'd learn nothing in Astronomy this school year. She glanced here, there, and everywhere, waiting for the moment when a random number of toilet paper rolls would come zooming into the classroom...er, Owlery.

...and, here comes the rolls now! LouAnn skipped around the Owlery like a child frolicking through a meadow of flowers. "Hey! Somebody...go long! Catch it like a quaffle!" she called out. She grabbed one end of the toilet paper and tossed the other end through the air. If someone caught it, they could then run, run, runnn around with it until it was all pulled off. She had the other end in her hand still, so hopefully the plan would work out just fine. Oh, and if it did, they could play jump rope with another roll!

"What will we do with the paper? That seems kind of wasteful," Rafe was quite unsure about this little project. "It's not exactly environmentally friendly. It would be such a waste."

Rafe could just imagine all the trees that were contributing to this activity.It was so sad.

Toilet paper dress. This man was onto something. Winnie seized a roll and began pulling.

"I fancy bows," she said. "I always thought bows were an unparalleled fashion statement," she continued, twisting two sheets together and securing them in a knot with her wand. She pulled a hairpin out of her bag and pinned it in her fluffy blond hair at her left temple. She grinned.

"I do believe I'm positively in my element," she sighed, twisting another two sheets.

Kay started to unroll her toilet paper on to the floor. 'I guess we can stand on it so our shoes won't get all pooy' Kay thought looking at everyone doing the some.
