Leaving the door to the classroom ajar to allow the warm September breeze to flow through the classroom from one of the open windows, Professor Marion Burbage has set up a table next to the door with rows of Muggle soda bottles of various flavors lined up along with empty plastic cups. The professor is currently seated and looking over two photographs that you cannot make out just what of in the front of the classroom.
Beside the display of two-liter pop bottles is a seating chart of the classroom and a note that reads:

OOC: class will not officially begin until several hours from now. Your characters can chat amongst themselves but please try to keep conversation to a minimum.
Class has begun! Please DO NOT announce yourself arriving now and siiiiiiiiimply RP as though you have been here all along.
"Hay is for aethonan, dear," Professor Burbage said with a raised eyebrow and a slight wave of the hand. She was about to say abraxan instead, but she thought she remembered them only drinking...something. Creatures had never been her best subject. Oh well. "I suggest next time a proper greeting, hmmm?"
Clearing her throat, Professor Burbage looked at her watch. Hmmm....just a little more time to allow any last minute stragglers in.
"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeello darlings!" she greeted. "We will wait just a few more minutes before properly beginning. In the meantime doooooooo continue to talk quuuuuuuuuietly among yourselves and please do continue to drink your sodas." They would see why later.
OOC: class will OFFICIALLY begin approximately at 3 am GMT
Dylan listened as the professor corrected his greeting, so what she didn't want hay either? drat! he was just about to go get her some. He did not like the wave that she did with the hand of hers.. ok so he didn't give her the correct greeting no need to do all that hand waving stuff. If only he could turn her in an aethonan she would beg for all the hay she could get. "Mhm.. ok" yeah sure whatever you say lady
This lesson had better be worth his time.. the good mood he had been in had been ruined a bit by Mrs Old-Should-Be-Greeted-Like-A-Queen.. wait! is that what she meant by her wave.. that she wants to be greeted like a queen? well she wasn't getting that from him that was for sure!

Upon the Professor's reply to her greeting she gave her a wide smile...just to show her that she was happy to see her as much as the soda...okay maybe not as much--but pretty close!
She nearly squealed in delight when Dylan dropped into the seat next to her...but of course she didn't because after the feast she had learnt that not many Professors liked loud noises and she wasn't interested in losing anymore points--especially not with scary bat-girl sitting somewhere in the room. Instead she gave him a wide smile. "Dylan! I was wondering when you would get her. I almost never made it when I saw just how high up it was but then I figured I couldn't just skip class." She said with a shrug.
"Plus, I'm kinda looking forward to it..." She had to admit that.
Dylan smiled as he saw she was glad that he made it... well at least someone was glad.. take that professor woman! "Yeah sorry I took a little time, didn't want to be the first one here.. so I left a little late.. but I am here now..so thats good right?" he asked even though he knew her answer. He looked at her and chuckled "Oh yeah! you can't leave me here on my own! well you can but make sure you leave a fun replacement so that we can have fun when you not here" he said to her wondering who would be Lex's fun replacement.. one that was as fun as Lex.
He smiled "Well I am looking forward to it too.. lets hope its an awesome one since we are using up our precious time here." yeah and he didn't want to feel that he had wasted his precious time here, he wanted to have an awesome time here one that would make him come back. He then poured out some of the black liquid and drank it in one go.. well he needed some sugar so if not candy then soda.. and he poured himself another and drank half of it. Yup that was good muggle soda stuff.
Naturally as he did this, winks were thrown as random girls throughout the room.
Single was WIN.
:: Ganymede scowled at the older Slytherin. Does he want me to throw this drink at him? She thought to herself as she slowly picked the cup of pop up and then slowly sat it back down.
Instead, she tore a little bit of paper off her square and crumpled it up. With a light toss, it landed on his head lightly. It was as if a snowflake danced onto his attractive coif.
There. I'm more attractive than that slime. Ganymede ran a hand through her purple hair and even practiced a few winks. These were to her desk, it probably looked like she was insane. ::

Vickers entered the classroom and spotted the new Astronomy Professor "Good afternoon Ma'am" he nodded politely as he eyed the instructions and the soda bottles.
"Good afternoon, darling," she nodded to the Ravenclaw boy that had come in. Ho ho ho, she was just going to need to get her hands on her seating chart soon so she could start learning names....

Out out shoo shoo.

"Hello dear," the elderly woman giggled at the young boy. So much enthusiasm!

Marion cleared her throat for this boy as well. Again. Slytherins. Manners. Hmmmmmmm.

No tie? Hmmmmmmm...
Marion did require PROPER uniform, but she decided to let this one slide for now. The girl had greeted her after all. "Hello dear. Please dooooooo remember your tie for the next lesson."

OOC: my rules state that you must NOT edit your posts. Please read all instructions carefully ;)

"Good afternoon, Professor Burbage," she said, just as she had practiced on her way to the classroom.
"Hello there dear," she nodded.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Marion raised an eyebrow at this young woman as well. Just because SOMEONE was SOMEWHAT famous did not mean that manners could be forgotten...like greeting the professor.
HMMMMMMMMMM!

Laura wasn't really in the talking mood but she decided to ask the Professor a question whilst waiting for the lesson too start. "Professor did you have a good holiday?" Laura hoped she had, she then decided to have some of her drink, since she was getting thirsty.
"Nothing of interest really darling," she replied with a wave of the hand as she passed the girl. "I am sure your holiday was muuuuuuuuuch more exciting."

Smiling, Jared silently walked up behind her. "Boo!" Jared grabbed her shoulders, shaking her ever so slightly.
Running....not reading instructions...NO GREETING OF THE PROFESSOR. Marion had had it up to here with ruuuuuuuuude Slytherins by name and her eye twitch was an indication of this. "10 points from Slytherin for failure to follow instructions, darling." Among OTHER things.

"Hello dear, take this on your way," she said as she handed the girl a soda. She was simply toooo exhausted at the moment to consider more point loss at the moment.
Making her way now from the back of the room to the front, Professor Burbage carried the seating chart in her hands and cleared her throat. "Hello and gooooooood day, students," she said in her usual sing song voice. "My name is Professor Burbage and I will be instructing you in the noble field of Astronomy this term. I doooooo hope you have all filled out your name here or else I shall be forced to make one up for you." To which she laughed softly before taking a glance at it. MERLIN why did some students write so small. That wasn't very kind on an elderly woman like herself.
Which was when she heard a voice.

She looked at the seating chart - which she was holding upside down by the way - and found the boy's name. "I doooo like the way you think, Mr. Wilde." Because that was the name written in the square on her parchment. "Could you please keep that thought for a moment." The boy earned himself a wink and sparkle points with her however.
Pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose, she looked back to the class. "Now...wheeeeeeeeeere was I? Oh yes! Astronomy, as many of you alreeeeeeeady know natural science that deals with the study of celestial objects. Stars and planets and those sorts of things for those of you who would like a little more basic image. Today we shall be discussing something a little more...outside of the box."
Flicking her wand towards one of the photographs on the table in the front, she levitated it into the air and gave her wand another firm flick to enlarge it. Once it was of appropriate size, Professor Burbage was ooh-ing and aw-ing and turning into an elderly fangirl at the man's portrait.
SPOILER!!: LARGE photo
"Can anyone tell me whoooooooo this studmuffin is?" she asked as she gestured towards the picture. "You may include ONE fact about him if you know. But please, doooooo leave out how handsome he is and how looooooovely his hair is. I already know and have just said these things."
Oh ho ho ho ho.

Alexa had no clue who this person was. She put her hand up anyway, "Ummm.. were we suppose to read something before class to know who this old person is? What is he looking at in this picture it can't be stars, because stars are in the sky." she couldn't figure out what this person was looking at. Why was he not looking in front of him like normal paintings and pictures. She was about to tell him to look at her when she was distracted by another students hand. WOW there was many students in this class that she did not know. Was there this many students in this school she thought, soon she forgot all about the guy they were asked about..
It was his FIRST class at Hogwarts! He was going to LEARN stuff!!
No longer was he confined to what his parents managed to teach him at home. Or even his home surroundings. He was out and at school and got to learn new things and it was all extremely exciting!
Aidan walked into the classroom and shouted a "HI!" at the professor before seeing the soda.
...He'd never had that stuff before! And, OBVIOUSLY he made for the GREEN one. Which was SO cool. A GREEN drink AND the teachers FED you.
Hogwarts was AWESOME!
Aidan poured himself some soda...most of which made it into the little cup and filled in a square for himself on the seating chart where the front row would be.

Then went over to his new seat, sipping and sloshing the bubbly beverage as he walked.

Was this woman stupid? Presley hated her already. The way she held out all of her vowels, as if searching for the next word all the time. And going on about how lovely someone's hair was, and taking points from everyone imaginable? And she liked how the weird kid thought? As if Presley wasn't in a bad enough mood about the uniform, now the lady was being ridiculous. Regardless, Presley wanted to earn her ten points back. So she stared at the photo. She knew this guy from somewhere, but she couldn't remember where. She mentally ran through every textbook she'd ever read, and came up blank. Now it was Presley who felt stupid. Who was this guy?? Besides her new professors crush.
elephant-astic•wanderlust•stay in the ninedaaays the original Taco Belle•look at the flowers✿
Studmuff? Ella grinned at the Professor, enjoying her spunk. She had sass just like Ella's Gran had and she appreciated that. Mhm! She did.
The third year eyed the picture carefully and tried to think of the people she knew that had to do with astronomy in some way. There was Galileo...but didn't he have a big burly beard thingy? Oh! There was also another guy...who COULD be the man in the picture. "Professor, is that guy Newton...or erm...Sir Isaac Newton?"
Aurora glared at the girl who had just lost them points before looking back to the picture. She raised her hand, "Is it a famous astronomer..?" Okay, lame... but it was all she had. She unscrewed the top from her bottle and took a sip - she actually hated fizzy drinks but she supposed she should drink this - it was in the instructions after all...
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
Oh so that was why he wasn't there! She gave him an approving nod. Then the Professor started talking so she tried to pay attention. Oooo, a picture.
Lex stared long and hard at the picture. Somehow the man looked familiar....very familiar...but she just couldn't put her finger on his name....She leaned forward onto her desk and squinted a bit at the picture. Still nothing. Reaching over she took a sip of her soda and let the taste stay on her tongue for a minute as she thought.
For some reason he just looked like someone she had heard about briefly at her muggle school. Suddenly it clicked.
"Ooo, I know, I know!" She said as her hand flew into the air. Yup. She knew who is was. "That, dear Professor, is the man with white hair that did something sometime ago and now is very famous for doing it!"
She nodded with a satisfied smile, glad she was able to answer. Good 'ole white haired man. According to her old teacher he did wonders and made great styles...or was it strides...well he made something, she was sure of that! She gazed at white haired man for a bit longer. "Yup, that's him. He's even got the same white hair too!" There...some extra, extra details. BEAM.

Jayden smiled, raising her hand slowly. "Professor, is that Sir Isaac Newton?" She answered after being called upon.. She couldn't be sure, but during the summer she had looked at a few muggle history books... although maybe she was wrong... it could be someone from the wizarding world.
Ugh. And they REALLY needed the house points!
Sutton could have hit herself in the head as soon as she heard the girl say the correct name. Obviously it couldn't be Galileo... he had a beard... that was what made his picture so memorable...
Duh, Sutton!
Her face blushing slightly, she half-raised her hand again, "Sorry, Professor. I think that Ravenclaw girl is right, isn't she? It's Newton! And a fact about him is... he discovered a lot of important things about physics..." Sutton's brain worked in hyper-speed as she tried to remember those silly Bill Nye science movies her parents would play when they were kids. "Something about... objects in motion..." she trailed off, looking up at the professor with true terror in her eyes for first getting the answer wrong and then for not being able to stop talking... "Ooh! No... it's... objects in motion stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force!"
And Sutton was pretty sure she was done answering questions for the rest of her life ever...

Offering a smile at the greeting in return, Gideon sat back and quiet until the professor drew the classes attention to her once more. Then his full attention was to the class as he listened to what was being said as well as the picture that was shown to them. The prefect raised his hand and spoke to answer. "That would be Sir Isaac Newton the man who discovered gravity."

...Studmuff? That was...an interesting thing to call someone. And apparently Professor Burbage really liked him. And his hair. Which Penelope supposed was...nice, but she didn't think his hair was THAT lovely. And of course, Penelope had no idea who the guy actually was, but she decided she was gonna try to answer anyway. Raising her hand, she asked, "Is he your husband?" The professor did seem to like him an awful lot, after all.

:: Ganymede folded her arms on her desk and put her head down. She softly muttered a few stern words to herself. "Stupid, stupid, stupid."
She couldn't believe she got caught and lost house points. She lofted that ball of paper so casually.
She sat upright again and gave the picture a quick look. It looked like a really ugly woman, be the Professor claimed it to be a man.
Everyone else was guessing the obvious. Ganymede decided to just observe for a while. ::

Isabel shot her have up .she was a hundred percent sure she didn't know the answer.lets see the hair and the clothes indicate that he is a really old guydid I get it right?!?!?!?
Alright! Class was starting! Silvia sat quietly as the Professor began to speak, her quill poised to take notes. When the Professor levitated a picture from her desk, she took a close look at it. It looked sort of familiar... she thought for a moment about where she might have seen him before slowly raising her hand.
"Professor," she said, "is it ... Isaac Newton?" She thought she remembered seeing a similar picture in a science book once.

As soon as the answers started rolling in Presley's eyes lit with understanding. Of course it was Sir Isaac Newton! But she couldn't very well say that now that other people had. So Presley decided to go with a fact about him that she knew. She raised her hand, ready to hopefully gain some points back. "He discovered the laws of motion. He said that "An object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an outside force, and an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon my an outside force."" Not that she'd memorized it word for word or anything....She put her hand down, satisfied with herself.
Elijah chuckled along to the Professor's rather bad joke about making up names, continuing to keep up appearances and all that. It wasn't that hard to fake though, considering the woman's chipperness was extremely infectious.
His attention was caught, however, when he heard her call out his surname when referring to... an ODESSA!? What on EARTH was this nonsense? He raised his hand intending to correct her, but she had already started talking about the picture she had been looking at previously.
Raising his hand to offer an answer, he made very clear that HE was, "Elijah Wilde, Professor. I think the man in the picture could be Redderick Uranus." Of course, the Hufflepuff had NO clue whatsoever if this man actually existed, but it sounded wonderfully astronomical (although, he did like her appreciation of good hair). The point was: HE was Wilde, not that ODESSA!

Flicking her wand towards one of the photographs on the table in the front, she levitated it into the air and gave her wand another firm flick to enlarge it. Once it was of appropriate size, Professor Burbage was ooh-ing and aw-ing and turning into an elderly fangirl at the man's portrait.
SPOILER!!: LARGE photo
"Can anyone tell me whoooooooo this studmuffin is?" she asked as she gestured towards the picture. "You may include ONE fact about him if you know. But please, doooooo leave out how handsome he is and how looooooovely his hair is. I already know and have just said these things."
Laura looked at the picture. "Professor is it Captain Kirk in a judges wig?" Laura really had no idea who the guy was, she wasn't really good with putting names to faces, but she had seen this person on this show, what was it called trecking across the galaxy, nope that wasn't right, star trecking, nope, oh yeah star trek that was it.
Laura smiled. "He's wearing a judges wig because he's been called up for duty, he's having to tell the people from mars they can't come live here because they don't have the right papers?" That happened once on Men in Black right, that was a good film and it was all too do with Astronomy right, they were.
:: Ganymede started giggling. If it was Sir Issac Newton, then he was the guy with the 'apple falling on the head' story. Perhaps that's all Ganymede was doing earlier, recreating that great discovery with paper and that slimy boy?
Oh, the irony. If anything she should have been awarded points for modeling the lesson.
She quickly gulped more pop and continued to try and pay attention. ::

Sipping on her drink slowly, Kurumi glanced over at Selina and sort of just rolled her eyes at the empty container. She was gonna need to find a new hiding place... ob----viously.
When class began, Kurumi sat up a little more straight in her seat and listened carefully...untill something about stud and muffins was mentioned. What was that? Was it an astronomy term she was unfamiliar with? Kurumi began to flip through her textbook hoping to find something in the glossary, but had no such luck. Sighing softly, Kurumi looked back at the picture of the man Professor Burbage had said had nice hair. "Not nearly as nice as Lewis'," she whispered under her breath, her cheeks flushing.
Oh...um...erm...right....she was supposed to try and identify the man.
"I believe that is Sir Isaac Newton," Kurumi answered after raising her hand. "He also has a unit of force named after him. The newton to be exact."

Alyssa waited while the other students raised their hands and basically gave the same answer as she was going to give. She sighed and was going to put her hand down but decided that since others were repeating the same name that she might as well give her answer as well.
So she raised her hand and when it was her turn to reply said.
"Professor that distinguished looking man in your photo is Sir Isaac Newton. Not only was he a famous Mathematician, physicist, alchemist and natural philosopher, he was also a famous astronomer."
"With a simple throw of an apple up in the air, he discovered the law of gravity. If I'm not mistaken he was also the person who built the practical reflecting telescope."
"I guess, Professor, Sir Newton can be considered a man of many talents."
Nigel liked Laura's answer and even agreed. He took another sip of his drink before answering.
"Professor i also think it is Captain Kirk. He is wearing the wig because he is hiding from some dangerous aliens. He uses his awesome voice to tell people his wig is real even though it is just a wig."
Nigel kind of like stars wars better. But he could not think of a single person who would wear a wig in Star Wars.
