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:

Kurumi was not one to drink much soda...ever... this was sort of like silent torture to the Gryffindor at the moment. She couldn't even remember the last time she had had soda now that she thought about it.
HICCUP!!
Kurumi's eyes widened as her chest heaved slightly as a short series of hiccups escaped her lips, causing her to have a little trouble breathing while she attempted to take down more notes. But it was proving to be impossible with the amount of hiccups that were coming out of her.
Eyes wide with fear and her one hand still covering her mouth, Kurumi began to bow towards Professor Burbage when the next picture was revealed - didn't really matter because Kurumi had no idea who the man was.
"I'm *hiccup* s-s-sorry *hiccup* professor *hiccup*," she managed to somehow squeak out. She would try to say more, but the hiccups were preventing her from doing so...and she still had a few more cup fulls of soda left in her bottle.
Merlin help her...

Right. Vanderbilt. That's his name and not the other one mmhmm. Vickers quickly scribbled notes on his parchment when the Professor explained more about Newton's work. It almost felt like a Physics review class except the interesting note that Newton was a Wizard and a studmuffin.
And there was and awful lot of glitter in the air. Which is now getting into his drink. Eww.
He looks up when the Professor shows the next image. "Hey its Goddard. " he murmurs grinning before realizing he has to do this the proper way Hand up yes "Professor, thats is Dr Robert H. Goddard, he's an American Engineer and is regarded as the Father of Modern Rocket Propulsion."

Law 1. The Law of Inertia:
“An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion.”
Law 2. The Law of Proportionality:
“The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to its mass.” This can be expressed in equation form:
Force = (Mass) x (Acceleration)

“For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
When the picture of the second man was blown up and the professor showed the second "Studmuffin" she just stared at him not having a clue as to who the man was, i mean she probably knew who he was like what his name was & what he did but not by picture, Ariana was Horrible with faces. though she had to drink her Entire bottle of soda, for they needed the bottles!? Ariana groaned in her head.. she hated soda, she opened up her bottle and poured a cup of it and began sipping on it slowly ' she tried and therefore no one should criticize her'

"Very good, all of you!" Minus those who had called the studmuffin OLD. "This is Sir Isaac Newton who has maaaaaaaaaaaaany fabulous contributions to the scientific world, but the ones I want to focus on today are Newton's laws of motion, which some of you have already mentioned and some have even explained." She paused for a moment to acknowledge each student with a polite nod of the head. "Oh, do keep on sipping on your sodas by the way darlings. You will be needing those bottles soon."
Now...where was she? Oh yes! Newton's laws of motion.
Turning towards the blackboard now, Marion flicked her wand at it to make some writing appear.
Once this was written on the board, she turned back to the class and eyed them all for a moment. "Please write these down on your parchment," she instructed, pausing just long enough to give them time to do so. "Now, I would like you all to keep in mind what Mr. Odessa mentioned earlier about Newton showing the world that you can 'make stuff happen because of natural laws.'" She said, using the boy's own words. It WAS best to learn from your peers in some cases. Youth had a way of relating to each other like she could never do. Siiiiiiiiigh.
"BUT, before we get into that...I have one more studmuffin to introduce you all toooooooooo," she hummed as she levitated the second picture off the desk and enlarged it as well. "Now, who can tell me who thiiiiiiiiiiiiis is?!"
SPOILER!!: studmuffin #2!!
After this man was identified aaaaaaaaaaaaall would become clear - even though certain daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarlings had already pinned the tail on the abraxan.

Cassia swallowed when the professor took five points for calling the man old. It wasn't meant as an insult just as a statement. Pffft…Women and age! Anyway, now was her turn. Cassia considered the question, "No, not all of them. " She started. But then she glanced at the woman, probably that won't satisfy her. "I mean it depends on how long have they been teaching. And I personally think that old is great! Because it means that this professor has so many experience to give to his students." She said trying to fix the situation. "And we are all going to get old someday it's a fact," She grinned. Seriously what's with oldadult people and age. It reminded Cassia of the crazy shopkeeper last year.
And the other man. Cassia looked at the dude and thought. Another old one but younger than the other .But she never spoke them aloud. Points at stake here. Actually she wanted to say that he was a bald man. But that definitely will cause 20 points at least. So she raised her hand, "I think he was an inventor," She answered briefly.

Jory began to write his notes down. Just as he was finishing up the professor brought out another picture. He looked at the man but to his disappointment he didn't recognise him. "Nope, dunno him,'' he thought.
So, the Puff sat listening to responses from his classmates but still trying to figure out if he had read about the man or seen him on television or something.
Ignoring the whole Mars part of this one's answer, Marion tapped her lower lip for a moment with one of her delicate fingers. "You must tell me, dear. Who is Captain Kirk?" Because he wasn't the man in the picture.
"BUT, before we get into that...I have one more studmuffin to introduce you all toooooooooo," she hummed as she levitated the second picture off the desk and enlarged it as well. "Now, who can tell me who thiiiiiiiiiiiiis is?!"
SPOILER!!: studmuffin #2!!
After this man was identified aaaaaaaaaaaaall would become clear - even though certain daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarlings had already pinned the tail on the abraxan.
Laura looked at the Professor. "Captain Kirk is awesome." Laura smiled. "He's the Captain of the Enterprise." Laura really loved watching Star Trek. "He goes all over space, seeking out new life forms and well he tries to show that humans are good." Laura smiled at the Professor before looking at the next one.
"Professor it's Doctor Who." Laura giggles. "He's just regenerated, he doesn't know what to do with this regeneration." Laura sighed, she had no idea what else to say about the face, it was ugly but someone had said the last one was old and lost 5 points so Laura wasn't going to sort things out.
Laura looked at the Professor. "He's about to tell the Dalek and the Cyberman off." Laura smiled at the Professor. "They have woken him up from his nap." Old men needed naps rights. "He is going too tell them all that if they don't let him sleep then he will destroy them like he always does.
Nigel spit out his drink when he heard Laura's answer to the next portrait. She was so right, He started laughing. HE knew right away that he was the Doctor. But he was so bald. But would not say anything about that because he did not want to lose points. He took another long drink of his soda before answering.
"Professor, you did not know Captain Kirk fights aliens across the galaxy and his bald just like this portrait of the Doctor. Laura is so right about Doctor Who. He is probably hiding from the Daleks and using the high tech mustache as cover. Because they would never suspect a fine man like him to be the Doctor when he is using his high tech mustache to confuse them."
Now he was out of soda because he just spit it all out. But he did have his cup to play with. He thought about getting up and getting another one. But decided against it. He put his cup down and started to listen.

Newton's laws of motion
Law 1. The Law of Inertia:
“An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion.”
Law 2. The Law of Proportionality:
“The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to its mass.” This can be expressed in equation form:

Law 3. The Law of Action-Reaction:

Ella copied down the notes onto her parchment, making sure to include everything in case they would be using it again later in the lesson. She couldn't help but frown slightly as she did so, knowing that this Professor had no problems taking away points. Andddd it seemed that some Hufflepuffs didn't mind that at all. Didn't they know that the badgers had a house cup to defend? Clearly not. Meh.
Oh...and another picture. The third year eyed the man curiously, eyebrows raised. Homeboy definitely was lacking in the locks department, that was for sure. The small blonde was tempted to suggest that this guy was in fact Mr. Clean from those muggle commercials, but decided against it. Besides, Mr. Clean definitely didn't have a rad mustache. Poor guy.
So if it wasn't Mr. Clean, who was this dude? Someone who was a candidate for the Hair Club for Men, no doubt, a club Ella's own Dad had vowed never to join. Think. Think. Think. OH!...That dude. THE ROCKET DUDE. What was his name? Goose? No...Gobblert? No, that definitely wasn't right. EEP GODDARD!
"Professor, I think that guy is the Goddard guy, the one who experimented with rockets." It totally was, yeah?
Oh andddd Sip. Sip. Sip. Orange soda really was awesome.
"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....
"Heeelloooooo, dear," she sang as her eyes TWINKLED.
"Hello there, darling," she smiled at the young Hufflepuff. Oh, another studmuffin in the making right there.
"Boooooooonjour darling," Marion sang as she greeted this one. Using hellos and good days was becoming rather monotonous.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm!
Another Hufflepuff boy it seemed needed to learn from her little Casanova. Hmmmmmmm.
And this one received an eyebrow raise in return. "Dear, you will remove those thiiiiiiiiiings from your mouth, please, and put them away." No fangs in the classroom or it would be out she would go.
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."
Hmmm....while she hated to do this...
"5 point for not following instructions properly, dear," she sighed. No soda? No cup. NO GREETING! Had the boy greeted her proplerly and politely she would have overlooked his error.
OOC: my rules state that you must NOT edit your posts. Please read all instructions carefully ;)
"Good afternoon dear," she smiled.
"Hello there dear," she nodded.
"Hello darling." Hmm, this one seemed a little depressed as well. Hmmm...
Hmmmmmmmmmm.... no greeting.... hmmmmmmmmmm....
"Hello dear," she chirped while making her way towards the back of the classroom. It was getting about time.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Gert," she said with a small wink.
Hmmmmmmmm... seemed Hufflepuff also needed a female version of Ms. Casanova to teach manners...
Hmmmmmmmm...
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Professor Burbage EYED the boy as she continued to walk.
"At my service! Oh hohohoooo," she laughed, patting the boy on the shoulder. "I shall ceeeeeeeeeertainly keep that in mind." She might need volunteers later after all.
Oh ho.
"Hello dear," she replied, inclining her head.
Oh, what a lovely smile this one had! "Good day, darling."
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.
"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."
STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE
Well, the girl HAD apologized...
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.
MORE EYE TWITCHING!
At least this boy had followed instructions.
Oh goodness gracious HEAVENS....
Another student who remained silent... at least she had followed instructions.
"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.
Oh ho ho ho ho.
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.
STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE
"That will be minus 5 to you dear. Such behavior will siiiiiiiiiimply not be tolerated in my classroom."
How ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!
Dylan just looked at the picture.. studmuffin? thats what his mom used to call his dad, but why was the professor calling such an old guy a studmuffin. Maybe she was mistaking him for someone that she knew that was a studmuffin, poor woman she was losing her eyesight really fast.
She really needed to start wearing glasses before she went and called more people studmuffin. AND she was taking points away already? wow! she was losing her eyesight and her head.. she really was a poor poor woman.
Lovely hair? handsome? yup it was confirmed she was losing her eyesight, cause he didn't have lovely hair... it was whiteish grey!! he was not handsome.. he was old and wrinkley.. with that long nose poking out.
That reminded him of that story that his mom used to read him that she said was a muggle story, of a wooden boy that thought he has a boy. Whenever that boy lied his nose got bigger.. so did this guy lie often cause he had a long nose.. well a bit. Nope he had no idea who this was, never seen him and most probably never heard of him either.

"Oh, I'm afraid not dear. But no harm in venturing a guess. This is not Galileo Galilei," Whose name was aaaawfully fun to say though.
*twith*
Marion staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaared at the girl again. THAT one from the opening feast who had showed such appalling behavior. Pinching the bridge of her nose for a moment, Professor Burbage tried to contain her emoooooootions before she spoke. "Darling...that will be 10 points from Hufflepuff for insuuuuuuuuuuuuulting perhaps the greeeeeeeeeatest and most influentiaaaaaaaaaaal scientist who ever lived."
Hooooooooonestly. OLD. OLD. OOOOOOOOOOOLD!
What a horrible thing to say about a person. This one better not say that word to HER.
"And no, there was no require reading prior to attending my lesson."
AHEM! Clearing her throat as the young man entered the classroom, her eyes boooooooooooooore into his features. He. Was.LATE! At least he had greeted her informally and followed instructions, so that saved the young thing SOME grief from her.
Some, mind you, not all.
"Hello dear, 5 points from Ravenclaw for arriving late. But dooooooo enjoy the soda and be careful not to spill."
Oh! BINGO!
"Exactly right, dear!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands together loudly. Now, where had she put her wand so she could give the girl a proper congratulations? It was here in one of these pockets...
Giving up on looking for her wand for now, Marion looked back up and noticed the now proooooooperly dressed Ravenclaw deep in thought. Good good. Thinking was good and it was peeeeeerfectly alright not to know the answer. This was school for a reason after all.
Ho ho ho!
"He is indeeeeeeeeeeed!" she beamed at the young Hufflepuff.
She nodded at the Slytherin. "Yes, that is one thing he is known for." The rest, well, she would know soon!
Ahem. Yes...well...not that this one was wrong or anything. Not exactly. More details would have been appreciated of course. The young Gryffindor earned a small smile and nod of the head for her, erm, efforts.
Oh dear...this poor child was having a panic attack already. Maybe she needed to slow down on her soda drinking? It seemed to be making the poor dear rather jittery.
"It is indeed Sir Isaac Newton and we will come back to objects in motion in juuuuuust a moment."
"Preeeeeeeeecisely," she nodded at the Gryffindor prefect. Although she did not use the word discover herself, more proved gravity's existence. But those were probably the musing of an elderly women.
Professor Burbage's face erupted into a wide smile. Oh! Look at that! She had found her wand! Which she promptly used to shoot a round of gold sparkles into the air over the girl. "Ooooooooh were I so lucky," she giggled girlishly. "Only in my girlish fantasies did I marry such a studmuffin with such a briiiiiiiiilliant mind. 2 points to Gryffindor for such a chaaaaaaarming answer!"
Didn't students know that it was ruuuuuuuuuude to call someone old?! Especially right to their portrait face?!
"It is," she nodded towards the Ravenclaw.
"Very good," she nodded. Even if she had said to just share ONE fact and this Ravenclaw had just shared, well, more than that. "We will be coming back to those laws in juuuuuuust a moment."
Oh! Were there two students with the same name in her class? How unusual! She glanced over at the young Slytherin boy from earlier and then back to the studmuffin in the making before adjusting her glasses and looking at her seating chart.
"Oh goodness gracious hEAvens me," she laughed. She was looking at it upside down. Oh hohoho. Yes, this boy was Mr. Wilde. "Redderick Uranus? Would you care to enlighten the class on who that is, Mr. Wilde?" She herself hadn't heard of him, but she too was always eager to learn new things. Simply loooooovely that students could teach their teachers, wasn't it?
Ignoring the whole Mars part of this one's answer, Marion tapped her lower lip for a moment with one of her delicate fingers. "You must tell me, dear. Who is Captain Kirk?" Because he wasn't the man in the picture.
Another student deep in thought it seemed. Very good. Thinking was exceeeeeellent exercise for the brain.
"Yes and yes! Force shall become important a little later in our discussion as well," she nodded in reply to the Gryffindor prefect.
Oh how she did wish that some students would not simply read from there textbooks. No matter, this poor girl seemed nervous....hence the speaking much more than had been asked. "All true," she said with a nod. "A very VEEEEEEEERY talented man."
And studmuffin.
"Aliens? Oh goodness gracious hEAvens, dear...perhaps you need to slow down on all that soda drinking for a moment..." The sugar seemed to be getting to him.
"He is rumored to have shared that story with others to explain how 'discovered' gravity, yes," she nodded. But it may very well just be that, a rumor. These sort of thoughts do not just simply POP into existence after all.
"Very good," she nodded.
"Oh, no dear, I am afraid it is not," she said with a small shake of the head. "Although, I am curious as to why you thought it might be him." What sorts of thoughts did this young Hufflepuff have in regards to Xenophilius Lovegood and astronomy?
"Very good," she nodded. This one was lucky that Marion couldn't read minds. Hmmmm.
Well, she was pretty sure that muggles knew very well that Newton had delved into alchemy, but the girl was still correct. "Very good, darling."
Ah yes, the apple story again. Professor Burbage nodded as the girl spoke, raising an eyebrow as two facts had been mentioned instead of one, but she was still in a good enough mood not to comment. "Yes yes, very good. We will be coming back to those laws in a moment."
Shabbier? That word earned the girl a swift and pointed eyebrow raise. She truly was lucky that she had not said said word about this particular picture. Shabbier implied showing signs of wear and tear which implied OLD.
"It is indeed Sir Isaac Newton," she nodded as her eyebrow lowered. "Of course, he is not just famous for apples." Cue a small wink towards the girl as she moved on to the next student.
....................THERE WAS THAT WORD AGAIN! OLD!!
Her seeminly innocent answer afterwards somewhat softened the woman's mood, but also raised another question. "Are you implying, dear, that professors at Hogwarts are all old?"
Professor Burbage nodded in the girl's direction. "Excellent point, doooooo keep that thought in mind for just a little longer, dear."
This one also got a few gold sparkles sent into the air for his answer. "Very good, darling." Not the law they would be discussing today, but a noble one nonetheless!
"You are half right, son," she laughed. "He DOES have great hair."
Was she...still wearing those THINGS in her mouth?
Hmmmmmmm-ing some more as she tapped her chin with her fingers for a moment, Professor Burbage paused for a moment when the girl began to CHEW on her cup. "Dear, it is not polite to chew on one's cup in public."
"Very good Mr......" she paused to look at her seating chart for a moment. Was she holding it right this time? She certainly hoped that she was. "Mr. Vanderbilt, very good."
"And you think right," she replied with a wink.
LOOOOOOOVELY!
Professor Burbage covered this girl in gold glitter from her wand as well. "Brilliant answer darling."
No...no cookies... In fact, that comment was just going to be dismissed. Poor darling, clearly not sane. Tisk tisk.
"Oh, no dear, afraid it is not him," she said shaking her head. "Although I dooooooo love the opera."
"I coooooooooouldn't have said it any better!" Professor Burbage beeeeeeeeeamed at the somewhat famous girl as she showered her with gold glitter from her wand. "2 points to Ravenclaw! I myself do not like to use the word discover." Even if her tone had been a bit, well, rude. Without the rudeness she may have earned more. Too bad they would never know. "And he did study optics, very good."
Marion began to giggle rather girlishly, perhaps a little toooooo girlishly for a 70-year-old woman. NO MATTER!
"Well dear, a studmuffin is a man who is very VERY VERY attractive to women. They can also be described as being extremely cute and cuddly." Much like he was. She just wanted to scoop the eager little darling up and squuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuish him.
"Oh siiiiiiiiiiiimply marvelous, dear!" she applauded loudly, showering him with ridiculous amounts of gold sparkles. "Sir Isaac Newton was indeed a wizard, and a very talented one." Hopefully his classmates were taking notes, because she wasn't going to repeat the historical context again. She DID have other things she needed cover and a very brief overview was more than enough for now.
And then the little darling was back to rockets. "Yes, yes dear, rockets," she added with a wink in his direction.
She then turned her attention to the fanged girl sitting next to him. "Dear, perhaps you should finish off the rest of his soda? I doooooooo believe the young man is about to blast off into orbit all on his own."
Hmmmmmmmmm....sOOOOOmeone had a bit of an attitude, no?
"That is how the story goes," she nodded. As to the other half of her question... "THAT is precisely what I would like you all to think of as the lesson progresses."
Oh ho ho ho ho!
"It is indeed, Mr. Escalaaaaaaaaaante," she sang. Oh, he had a fun name to say as well.
"Perfectly acceptable to call him a studmuffin yourself, dear," she said with a wink. In fact, it was probably encouraged. Tehehe.
"Very good, darling."
"Some might even say theeeeeeeeeeee most famous," she winked.
More nodding and smiling from the elderly astronomer. "I believe the word you are searching for is Heliocentrism, dear." As Mr. Vanderbilt had mentioned earlier, which earned the boy a quick wink.
"Excuse me, dear, I would appreciate it if you would be so kind as to pay attention to your classmates and their answers." Instead of staring at your cup. Odd little Hufflepuff.
OLD?!
Well, the boy had also said that the man had good shampoo and had complimented his hair, so the negatives and positives balanced out. "Perhaps of his own invention," she winked.
Nodding and smiling gently as the boy as he answered, she laughed softly at his return question. "Ooooooooh," she gushed over the boy. "A stud is a man who is popular with the ladies, dear. If I may so myself, I doooooo believe that your Flying and History of Magic professors are priiiiiiiiiiiime examples."
Ho ho ho ho ho ho!
Nothing wrong with not having an answer. Professor Burbage gave the young girl an encouraging nod before moving along.
"Preeeeeeeeeeeeeeecisely!" More golden glitter and sparkles for this boy!!
Oh yes, very good and neeeeeeeew information of sorts. "Very good. Isaac Newton is also known for using a prism to demonstrate how white light can be decomposed into a spectrum of colors."
"Sir Isaac Newton," she corrected gently, nodding at the rest of her answer. "Well, he iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimply divine to look at. You don't see many men like him these days!"
"Well, I think we all - wizarding and muggle alike - benefited from his research on gravity," she said with a wink at the young Slytherin.
Were there no more hands raise? Good good. Time to move on!
"Very good, all of you!" Minus those who had called the studmuffin OLD. "This is Sir Isaac Newton who has maaaaaaaaaaaaany fabulous contributions to the scientific world, but the ones I want to focus on today are Newton's laws of motion, which some of you have already mentioned and some have even explained." She paused for a moment to acknowledge each student with a polite nod of the head. "Oh, do keep on sipping on your sodas by the way darlings. You will be needing those bottles soon."
Now...where was she? Oh yes! Newton's laws of motion.
Turning towards the blackboard now, Marion flicked her wand at it to make some writing appear.
Once this was written on the board, she turned back to the class and eyed them all for a moment. "Please write these down on your parchment," she instructed, pausing just long enough to give them time to do so. "Now, I would like you all to keep in mind what Mr. Odessa mentioned earlier about Newton showing the world that you can 'make stuff happen because of natural laws.'" She said, using the boy's own words. It WAS best to learn from your peers in some cases. Youth had a way of relating to each other like she could never do. Siiiiiiiiigh.
"BUT, before we get into that...I have one more studmuffin to introduce you all toooooooooo," she hummed as she levitated the second picture off the desk and enlarged it as well. "Now, who can tell me who thiiiiiiiiiiiiis is?!"
SPOILER!!: studmuffin #2!!
After this man was identified aaaaaaaaaaaaall would become clear - even though certain daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarlings had already pinned the tail on the abraxan.
WHAT?! She was now taking points away for people calling him old! But it was the truth that guy.. Isaac Newton or whatever his name was most definitely not studmuffin old, and this professor had to face that fact whether she liked it or not! She was not going to let go of him being a studmuffin was she.. nope it sure seemed that way.
Oh gosh now she was explaining what a studmuffin was to the others that asked, seriously? he couldn't see any reason why this guy was the studmuffin... but he wrote down everything from the board as instructed onto his parchment. There done! The guy sounded like one of those Knights though so maybe that was cool.
He then watched as she got out another picture of another old guy, but this guy was bald.. well almost. Studmuffin again? seriously? someone get this woman a pair of glasses she has seriously lost her eyesight! She was asking who this guy was.. well he had no idea who he was since he hadn't heard of this guy, well he might have head of him but didn't know him by face. He had no hair and the other guy had hair.. alot of it.. maybe double.
Well at least that explained who he was right? He raised his hand "Professor is this the guy that gave the other guy.. what-was-his-name.. ahh yes Isaac Newton most of his hair?" well he tried and plus that seemed to be the only explanation that he could come out with. Maybe once he had heard this guys name would he know what she was talking about, but for now he was the guy that gave the other guy most of his hair... and the other guy Isaac turned it white.

Lex beamed a bit when the Professor gave her a nod and a smile. Eeeep! She had gotten it right!...Well....er...not as right as everyone else but--but she got a nod and a smile!! That had to count for something...right...?
Yes it had to because certainly not everyone was getting a nod and a smile and in fact a lot of people were losing points...or...not a lot of people but they were losing a lot of points. This pleased the little lion to no end because at the start of term feast they had all conspired against her and tried making her lose 50. She would have shot a smirk at the snakes but thought better of it. It was good to stay on the right side of the line so she turned to the board and began taking notes.

Newton's laws of motion
Law 1. The Law of Inertia:
“An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion.”
Law 2. The Law of Proportionality:
“The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to its mass.” This can be expressed in equation form:
Force = (Mass) x (Acceleration)
Law 3. The Law of Action-Reaction:
“For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
And now she could focus on the Professor again. She looked on with eager eyes wanting to see what would happen next but got an instant headache when the Professor drew for another Portrait.
Noooooooo
She wasn't liking this game at all...now she didn't even recognize the man so she couldn't make an educated guess like last time!!!!! The horrors!!!!! She grabbed her soda and put a bit more in her cup then took a looooong drink before even attempting this one.
Quite hesitantly she raised her hand and decided she would try. You would never know until you did and most of the other answers couldn't have been right...especially the shampoo one. "Was he another famous man who figuratively discovered something and is now famous for basically ripping off the idea from nature...?"

"Very good, all of you!" Minus those who had called the studmuffin OLD. "This is Sir Isaac Newton who has maaaaaaaaaaaaany fabulous contributions to the scientific world, but the ones I want to focus on today are Newton's laws of motion, which some of you have already mentioned and some have even explained." She paused for a moment to acknowledge each student with a polite nod of the head. "Oh, do keep on sipping on your sodas by the way darlings. You will be needing those bottles soon."
Now...where was she? Oh yes! Newton's laws of motion.
Turning towards the blackboard now, Marion flicked her wand at it to make some writing appear.
Once this was written on the board, she turned back to the class and eyed them all for a moment. "Please write these down on your parchment," she instructed, pausing just long enough to give them time to do so. "Now, I would like you all to keep in mind what Mr. Odessa mentioned earlier about Newton showing the world that you can 'make stuff happen because of natural laws.'" She said, using the boy's own words. It WAS best to learn from your peers in some cases. Youth had a way of relating to each other like she could never do. Siiiiiiiiigh.
"BUT, before we get into that...I have one more studmuffin to introduce you all toooooooooo," she hummed as she levitated the second picture off the desk and enlarged it as well. "Now, who can tell me who thiiiiiiiiiiiiis is?!"
SPOILER!!: studmuffin #2!!
After this man was identified aaaaaaaaaaaaall would become clear - even though certain daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarlings had already pinned the tail on the abraxan.
Harlan listened to the professor, a small grin on her face, she decided she quite liked this professor. It was probably her favourite professor already, even if it was the first professor she'd met. She chuckled, there was the studmuffin again.
When they were told to copy what she had written, Harlan grabbed a quill and carefully wrote down what was on the board.

Another studmuffin? Harlan raised an eyebrow, not sure what exactly was so... studmuffiny about these men. They were like.. grandpa's. But maybe that was what she was too.. A grandma. And they obviously liked each other.
After a few seconds thought Harlan raised her hand, she new this stuff! 'That's Robert H. Goddard, professor. He was an American physicist. He built.. a rocket. But it was the first..' The first.. something liquidy. 'the first.. Liquid-fuelled rocket! Harlan nodded, that was right. She knew her space stuff.

Faye was a little confused as to what this lesson was going to be about, but she kind of liked it. This professor had a fun and interesting way of teaching to her students. She smiled then again, when the professor used the word studmuffin. She couldn't help it, she had never even heard that word before and here the professor had said it twice in the course of ten minuets. She coped her notes.
SPOILER!!: Faye's Notes

Raising her hand Faye gave a crack at who it was. "He's the Goodarb.....Gobdarb....no I mean Goddard person. He did something with rockets.......I think." Oops, seeing as she couldn't even pronouce the guys name she probably should have just kept her mouth shut!

Professor Burbage covered this girl in gold glitter from her wand as well. "Brilliant answer darling."
Brilliant answer? Why yes of course! Nothing less would be expected of Hannah Lockwood. Gold glitter interrupted her thoughts of awesomeness. She wasn't too happy about it being on her, but she felt special nonetheless... not just anybody gets gold glitter on them from the professor. Let a Hufflepuff try it though... they would get it!

Wait a minute...the first studmuffin as she put it is a wizard? No, no, no, that just couldn't be true could it? Oh well it really didn't make any difference to her. She jotted down her notes in her neat and tidy handwriting. Then she noticed that there was yet another man that looked to be older than her father, but she kept that tid bit to herself. With a raised hand she said "Professor that is Robert Goddard." Pause. "He was a physicist." What do you know, West was right about the whole rocket thing after all.
Soda is sweet. Anything sweet contains sugar. When Xing has too much sugar, he could go mad. And the cup is almost empty. While his fingers fiddling with the cup, Xing's legs shake vigorously. It is unclear whether this class really excites him or that he is about to go crazy. Then the professor whatever her name is shows another portrait.
O___o
Uncle Sylvester?
With an obvious accent, "Professor! That look a lot like my Uncle Sylvester. Do you know him?" he speaks out after putting up his hand. His facial expression is that of a naive kid who doesn't even know what is he talking about.
Studmuffin? She called these men attractive? ...Erm..no comment.
With her head still on the desk, Renesmee continued to listen to the new Professor and everyone else in the class too. For now she was just absorbing information. She didn't have much to add to what everybody else was saying, but notes she could do and she did, because she needed them when it came to studying.
She took her purple quil and began writing away the exact thing on the board, but added a few things of her own. She looked at her neat writing and then turned her attention back to the Professor. This Professor tended to extend out a lot of her vowels when talking and Nessie found this made her feel like she was in some English class learning shakespeare or something as old fashioned as that.
Raising her hand, Ness waited her turn."Professor, Isn't that Walt Disney?" You know because it was a black and white photo of a man with a moustache. Okay maybe it wasn'y and maybe that was a silly thing to say.
The red head finished off some more notes and then opened her soda. She put the bottle to her mouth and then started to drink it slowly sip, by sip.

Meh...
He'd definitely heard of the Newton guy. Before starting his formal magical education, Dylan had attention a few muggle schools...They always talked about that man. Thing was, though...it was hard to remember what the guy looked like...
With that said, the Slytherin did not have similar trouble with the next photo. He was a boy...and all boys LOVED rockets!!
"Robert H. Goddard, ma'am." Sip, sip, sip of the orange soda. WHO LOVES ORANGE SODA? I LOVE orange soda!"Most people thought he was barmy because he thought it was possible to put muggles on the moon..."
Had someone else offered that already? Dylan couldn't be sure. He really wasn't listening, to be honest. Although he did hear that Ravenclaw saying something about it being her husband. *mental shrug* Oh, why not?"I would've guessed he was your husband..."had I not known better.
Maybe I should just chug this thing...

and the next picture...Elliot had no clue. She scribbled down the laws of motion, which sounded vaguely familiar, and just decided to keep her mouth shut this time. Because hey, she was definitely the type of person who would only answer something if she knew it was correct.
And this guy didn't look familiar at all.

Glitter. All over Hannah. Elliot stifled a giggle and merely brushed some of it onto off her friend's shoulder...it was pretty and all...but Merlin, Elliot was never going to answer a question right in this class NOW!
And Merlin's beard! Hannah knew something! With a smirk, and nodded at her friend...and felt a bit weird because she herself didn't know something that Hannah did. Weird.
Wasn't Elliot supposed to be the smart one? OR had Hannah been faking this entire time?!

Nothing wrong with not having an answer. Professor Burbage gave the young girl an encouraging nod before moving along.
Eleyna quickly smiled. She felt at ease, for not being at the level as the other students in class. As she obtained all the information she was gathering, she began jotting down important key facts. This would be the best way she would remember everything, being taught in this precise class.
The overwhelming feeling of being to a new place, away from her comfort zone. Felt so frightening to the young lioness, that a shy feeling was in motion.

Alyssa looked up as Professor Burbage revealed to everyone the man behind the second photo. Again as like before, before she couid raise her hand to give her answer, the other students beat her to it. She sighed with frustration and disappointment. As she picked up her quill and started writing down the answers of the other students, she remembered something else about the man.
She wasn't sure whether someone had mentioned it, but decided to raise her hand, just in case no one had.
Raising her hand, Alyssa said.
"Professor, the man in the photo is Professor Robert H. Goddard. Like the other students have mentioned he was a physicist and inventor and famous for inventing the world's first liquid field rocket. "
"Wasn't he also famous for writing "A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes"? I believe that it is considered one of the classic texts of 20th-century rocket science."
Elektra saw the boy with blue eyes look at her out of the corner of her eye and she just took another sip of her soda as she she looked at hin and gave him a little nod for hello. Smooooooooth... and as she was about to say something when...the professor began to talk...class started. And here is where things were going to be VERY interesting. Elektra didn't know A SINGLE thing about Astronomy. All se knew that it had to do with stars and...stuff. When the professor held up a picture of- The crypt keeper? When she heard the answers around her she raised her eyebrow. When she heard the boy next to her she was silent. What was it about him that made Elektra so intrigued about him? Distractions!!!! She takes another little sip of her soda and thought, Newton? Hmm never heard of him... Next she held up another professor and this guy was NO STUD MUFFIN. Why does this professor have such bad taste in men? Especially ones that look like ghouls for Halloween? Hearing the answers around her again she just nodded and acted like she knew what was going on in this class. Ok, professor time to talk about soda... she thought getting a little bored with class What does soda have to do with these men? OOH DID TEY INVENT SODA?! Elektra's thinking is not really...well...smart.
Having finished with Vickers' lime soda Louisa grabbed her orange bottle, turned the cap and SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST. "Oopsie," she waited for the foam to backdown inside the bottle before twisting the cap again and eventually opening the bottle. The professor was still getting answers from students when she poured herself a cup of orange soda and siiiiipped. How refreshing! Sipsipsip..
Ohh! Time for notes! The Ravenclaw left her half empty cup on her table before grabbing her quill and starting to scribble down what she thought was important. Vickers, sitting next to her, was already writing every single word from the professor's mouth so that was a reliable source if she found her notes were inadequate.
Theeeeeeeeen another picture was revealed, and Louisa squinted her eyes at the baldish man. HMMMMM. Weeeeell... he wasn't very bald, only the top part of his head was hairless. Squiiiiiiint. Oh yes, she was definitely sure that he had some hair in the back and the sides.
Oh and no, she didn't know who this was. Vickers seemed to know though, that was good. One answer from the row she was sitting in should suffice. Heh. And continued to siiiiip from her orange soda.
AHEM! Clearing her throat as the young man entered the classroom, her eyes boooooooooooooore into his features. He. Was.LATE! At least he had greeted her informally and followed instructions, so that saved the young thing SOME grief from her.
Some, mind you, not all.
"Hello dear, 5 points from Ravenclaw for arriving late. But dooooooo enjoy the soda and be careful not to spill."
Were there no more hands raise? Good good. Time to move on!
"Very good, all of you!" Minus those who had called the studmuffin OLD. "This is Sir Isaac Newton who has maaaaaaaaaaaaany fabulous contributions to the scientific world, but the ones I want to focus on today are Newton's laws of motion, which some of you have already mentioned and some have even explained." She paused for a moment to acknowledge each student with a polite nod of the head. "Oh, do keep on sipping on your sodas by the way darlings. You will be needing those bottles soon."
Now...where was she? Oh yes! Newton's laws of motion.
Turning towards the blackboard now, Marion flicked her wand at it to make some writing appear.
Once this was written on the board, she turned back to the class and eyed them all for a moment. "Please write these down on your parchment," she instructed, pausing just long enough to give them time to do so. "Now, I would like you all to keep in mind what Mr. Odessa mentioned earlier about Newton showing the world that you can 'make stuff happen because of natural laws.'" She said, using the boy's own words. It WAS best to learn from your peers in some cases. Youth had a way of relating to each other like she could never do. Siiiiiiiiigh.
"BUT, before we get into that...I have one more studmuffin to introduce you all toooooooooo," she hummed as she levitated the second picture off the desk and enlarged it as well. "Now, who can tell me who thiiiiiiiiiiiiis is?!"
SPOILER!!: studmuffin #2!!
After this man was identified aaaaaaaaaaaaall would become clear - even though certain daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarlings had already pinned the tail on the abraxan.
Aidan's eyes grew wide. He lost points?! Already?!
AWESOME!! He was DEFINITELY on the right track for success, yeah? WAIT until he told his family. They'd be SO PROUD of him!
He grinned and nodded at the professor and did what he was told - continued drinking. Which was good, because it tasted yummy and felt funny and he didn't want to STOP drinking.
It also worked out well because he had no idea how to answer either of the professor's questions. So, aside from copying the board, he just merrily swung his feet and sipped his drink.
