Beginner's Astronomy 1
 

Maidee skipped from her office to her classroom, which, was not very far at all. She got just a couple of jumps in before having to stop and unlock the classroom door. Whistling a tune she knew since childhood, she went inside and looked around.

Nodding with approval, this room, at least, wasn't bad. She gave a wave of her wand and a giant moon started to rotate in the front of the room. Grinning she moved to her desk and took a seat, still humming beneath her breath

she is my dear, my darling one...

Katherine smiled. Finally her first lesson! Even though she was rubbish witth astronomy she still found it interesting but...to distracting. Katherine saw the moon rotating before her and couldn't help but give a small 'wow'. She took a seat and looked up at their Professor eager to begin.

Astronomy...she had no idea what she was doing here since last years Astronomy class was a disaster, and she was slightly afraid to see if Borr would be back or not. But apparently he wasn't since the lady looked nothing like him. For a moment she thought it was Bunz, but no...Thank Merlin...

"Good day Professor." Evelyn smiled slightly at the teacher before moving to a desk in the back. Though when she put her bag on the ground and sat down smoothly in her seat, is when she finally noticed the moon orb like thing in the front of the room. "Woah."

Hark! Was that another voice chiming in? Turning, she smiled, "I'm surprised ye know that, lad. 'tis an old song."

She nodded in greeting to the other students entering into class. "Hello, everyone."

Well here it was, the first class of the term. Walking in Marie sees a new professor in the room. "Good morning professor, how are you today?" Taking a seat in the back of the room Marie sees Evalyn sitting there. "Hey Evalyn."

These steps are going to kill me.. Destiny thought as she walked into the classroom. Couldn't there be an easier way to get up here, like flying. That would be fun.
She smiled at the Professor and gave her a wave. She would not talk, she was too out of breath for that.

Not even noticing the big moon, she made her way to the back of the class and sat next to Evelyn. 'Lawson isn't teaching Astronomy..' Unless he dyed his hair red, but Destiny doubted that.

Allison had always been number one in her class--or that's what her mother assured her. Muggle school, had been... incredibly easy. And so much fun!

Being extremely nervous Allison tip-toed into the room and simply raised an eye-brow at the moon. This was Astronomy...it made sense.

Walking towards the very front of the room she sat down and gave the professor the cutest smile on the planet. It was astronomy after all.

Fia walked into the class, her first one of the new term. Astronomy was not one of her stronger subjects but she was here to learn more and what better way than with one of the new professors. She walked into class, first noticing the rather large moon that was rotating in the front of the classroom. Interesting and she already knew, this professor seemed rather cool and...happy.

Damien walked into the classroom slowly. He was excited for the first class of term. Wonder what his friends back home would say if they knew he was in an astronomy class. Oh well, he was sure it would be interesting. Looking around for a seat he noticed Sabel and Kellen and decided to go join them. Siting down in the seat on Kellens other side, he gave them each a nod hello.

"Good to know, always nice to know there's others keeping the old alive." She gave him another smile and let him go to her seat, using that as a sign to start class.

Standing up, she took charge of the class.

"Now, I know everyone is anxious for classes to begin, so I hope everyone paid attention. This is BEGINNER's Astronomy. For those early for Advanced Astronomy, that class will be next weekend. (ooc: Jan 22-24th)."

Astronomy, was there any science so profound? Probably, but they were too much so and thus Chaucer had no need for them. What wonders of the universe would be uncovered here, in this class?

While these thoughts pooled in his pretty head, Chaucer sat very still with a look of contained excitment on his face. Kellen and him had talked about studying astronomy for years, but it was removed as a 'superfluous element of academia' before they had the option.

Scoffing under her breathe, she stuck her tongue out at Destiny when the Slytherin sat down, but had not time to reply back since the Professor was speaking now. Advanced Astronomy? Who would go to that?

Shaking her head in disbelief that there was an advanced class for this, she took out a dark blue notebook that she got over the summer with the word Astronomy written on the front in silver ink. While opening it to the first page, she glanced around, taking out some ink and a short green and silver quill as well. Deciding since she had a slight problem of losing parchments last year, this year she would just use notebooks for all her classes. So much easier...

Katherine looked around hoping no one sat behind her after al her frizzy hair would definitely block their view. She had to pay close attention after all if there was something she could never fully understand was astronomy.

After waiting an appropriate amount of time, Maidee cleared her throat. "Obviously, today's lesson is on the moon.

"Our moon is a natural satellite, a satellite is an object that orbits, or goes around, a planet, like Earth. If we were to fly to the moon today and stand on it, looking back at Earth, the Earth would look to be 4 times bigger than a full moon. Since we have been to the moon, if you were to look up at the sky with a good telescope, you'd have to find the right places to see stuff we've left behind."

Allison wasn't relieved to hear it was a beginner's class, she felt disappointed. Although she knew little of astronomy she knew that it was a lower than advanced. Sighing she took out her quill and ink, and a few pieces of parchment. When she heard a bit of a racket and she turned to see the perpetrator of such awful disruption.

Seeing Sabel take a seat she sighed, he did have two left feet. Her favorite Gyffindor was in the room, and he was sitting with fellow Ravenclaws. Not quite sure whether to go sit with him--note: him not them, Allison gave him an excited smile and waved.

However before she could decide on anything the professor spoke and she began taking notes on the moon. "It was the Americans the first to have landed," she added next to her notes. "However...there has been controversy nearly for a century that it had all been a great sham, who knows what to believe." Allison added.
