Astronomy Lesson 3 :: Polaris & Sextants
|
Astronomy!!!! This was one of Lex's favourite classes because of the content and the Professor. That was a good combination and she felt the need to state that just about every time she stepped in here because of her ever increasing mood. Very carefully, she got the lint roller going all over her robe to make sure there wasn't an ounce of lint or kneazle hair She took a seat that allowed her to clearly look out at it as she waited for the lesson to begin. Pay no attention to the Gryffindor bouncing away in her seat. This was normal. |
Ella had done the necessary ice cream eating and lint rolling before class so she was in a splendid mood as she bounced into the classroom, a broad smile on her face. Astronomy was one of her favorite classes, okay? GRIN! "Hellooo Professor Airey!" Beamy!Beam. And it was pretty romantic up in here, y'know. Like the sun setting and the view would be the perfect spot for a romantic movie to take place. And Professor Airey was humming to himself so maybe he was thinking about one of his lady friends? Hmmm? Was it Professor Elwood or Professor Romanos? That was an important question and Ella was still confused about who the suit-man loved these days. And people thought teenagers had complicated love lives. SHEESH. Taking a seat in the middle, the blonde BEAMED and WAVED at Lex and got comfy. Oh and she had her notebook and textbook ready and stuff too cause class and learning and stuffs. Yup. |
Mackenzie entered the Astronomy classroom and was in awe. The skyline was beautifu, she now completely understood exactly why Professor Airey was in love with the subject. She knew she looked stupid at the way she was gawking and not moving to find a seat but she couldn't help it... The blonde was rooted to the spot staring out into the horizon. After a good fourty five second gaze, she came back to the classroom and realized she had not greeted the professor "Hello Professor Airey, BEAUTIFUL time for class" The small girl over emphasized the word but it was true. She made her way to an empty seat in a place where she could see the beautiful sky, she knew the veiw might not last all of class but she wasnted to see it while she could. "Hello Lex" Mack greeted her fellow Gryffindor and quidditch teammate. She hadn't seen much of Lex around lately, but with lessons and quidditch and everything else going on she didn't expect to see Lex all the time. But she hoped that as it warmed up that the pair would get to go look for the giant squid again like they did last spring... when they met. |
Astronomy time with the Flamsteed guy. Yup. Peyton was looking forward to it. The guy was was fun so his lessons weren't much of a bother. After doing the whole lint roller thing, Peyton stepped into the classroom with a bounce in her step. She was in THE GREATEST OF MOODS. Oh! There was Flamsteed! And he wasn't looking her way. She thought about yelling a hello and startling him like in those films. Then the person gets so surprised they fall of the hill of window they're standing by. Yes. "Heeello!" she greeted. Extra cheery and extra loud. "A pretty day, isn't it--" Wait. His shoes didn't match what he was wearing. Yes, Peyton has been getting |
Kaiden yawned. He really loved Professor Space Man's class, but when it was late, it made him super sleepy. Even when he had to climb a million stairs. Buuuutttt this class was always super fun. Bounding into classroom, he grinned as he skidded into a halt infront of one of the desks. "Good evening Professor Space Man!" |
And Astronomy. Was it really the last lesson already? Hmm... odd. Also odd were the sneakers Professor Airey was wearing. The normally fashionable professor was wearing BLACK SNEAKERS?! Was he feeling alright? Sky picked a seat near the back just in case of projectile vomiting, after the required lint rolling was done, of course. "Hello, Professor." Yep, it was usually a good idea to be nice to those who were ill. Mmm hmmmm. |
Astronomy. Mo checked his uniform, rolled his robes, and even made sure his hair was combed before he showed up for class. He wasn't trying to impress Flamsteed, since the man was now his mortal foe and trying to hog the love of Professor Pretty all for himself, but he wasn't going to give the man any reason to take away points. "Good day to you, Professor," Mo did dare to eye the man's shoes before taking a seat carefully located in the middle of the classroom. The light was good in here. Did the professor mind if Mo took out his camera and just sort of... set it on the corner of his desk in case a picture happened? |
Astronomy. Woo. And that wasn't sarcastic. Mostly. These classes were usually pretty fun, but they WERE still classes so...maybe there was a little bit of sarcasm. But not as much as there would be for a lot of other lessons. Mhm. Yay for fun lessons. "Hi, Professor," Penelope greeted him, even taking a moment to appreciate the sky. It was kinda pretty, yeah? She liked it. Then she moved to find her usual seat, the shoes Flamsteed was wearing going completely unnoticed. Really, why would she look at a professor's shoes or care what kind they were wearing? She sometimes barely cared about her own. |
Anya entered the Astronomy tower after a quick lint cleaning. She was dressed in her normal uniform, except, for her footwear. She was wearing trainers instead of her normal heels. Why? Because weirdly enough she checked the notice board. Professor!Man should be proud. Speaking of Professor man... "Hello Professor." she greeted. She then looked around for a seat. Spotting Mo, she decided to take a seat next to him. Why? Because it was Mo. But also because there was a good view of the sunset from here. "Your hair..." she said looking over at the Ravenclaw. It was ... too neat. Didn't Ravenclaws know that that was entirely unfashionable. Could she fix it? Pretty please. |
Astronomy. Almost night. Life was perfect. So you better not ruin it, Airey Flamsteed. Don't worry, there won't be any tears today. Lint rolling came first, though it was HIGHLY unnecessary since she was always clean and lint-free, but you never knoooow. There was a lot of dust going around, you know. Oh, hey, black sneakers. Lottie's eyebrow went up at that. Were they going jogging? "Good evening, Professoooor!" The most favorite person EVER! He is, but she didn't say that. "I trust you're doing excellently well, Sir. Like the sunset." BEAM. And YES, she interrupts singing, because he should sing with her, not alone. ANYWAY..., "Hiiii, Lex!" See? Not Alexa, but Lex, because they were back to how they were. Nothing had changed, though. And she took the seat beside her, as usual |
Mika had dashed up to the tower and glanced into the room. Taking the lint roller in hand she quickly running it up and down her arms, down her legs…everywhere even behind her knees. Well, the only place she didn’t dust off was her hair. Instead she had taken it out of its band, and quickly plaited it. Then ran the lint roller over her shoulders a second time for all of the hairs that could have fallen. One might have stayed, but that was because it was still somewhat attached to her head. Just a little bit though, not very. As she walked into the room she waved to Professor Flamsteed and stopped. ”Wh-where are your fancy shoes Professor?” she asked, she really wanted to ask if the Goblins had taken his shoes and left him with sneakers instead of fancy leather polished things…losing shoes almost seemed worse than losing your marbles. ”Hey…Lex, Mack…Kaid…Mo” her voice got quieter and quieter as she saw the people…yep maybe because she had heard what Kaiden had told Mo…and still hadn’t explained things. She needed to do that. Sometime soon – but not soon because soon would be too soon and she didn’t want to talk during class. Nope. Class was for class stuff and tuning out the awkward so she did the smart thing and sat next to Lexa and Mackenzie...well, next to Mackenzie. |
Astronomy! Tag quickly made his way over to the class and said Hello Professor Airey! How are you and Pebbles doing today? It was always nice to know that somebody wanted to know how you were doing in life. The little blonde boy went to go find a seat and well sat down. He liked this class. Of mostly because he liked Professor Airey. He was a fun guy and had great charisma so he kept Tag entertained and his classes were generally interesting and fun. |
Another Astronomy lesson! Jory wasted no time in heading to the class when it was scheduled to start. No doubt they'd be doing something fun today. "Hello, Professor,'' Jory said with a grin and flashing back to the dance. He tried not to burst out with laughter as he remembered the man laying on the floor in shock after Professor Elwood had kissed him. "Hope you're erm alright now.'' Big grin. With that, he hurried off to find a seat. |
Making sure he was lint free. Nigel was learning this important because who wants lint on your suits. Suits are very important. But Nigel was surprised to see Professor Flamsteed with sneakers on. They did not really match his suit. But Nigel did not have the heart to tell him. So a simple hello would do. "Hello, Professor Flamsteed" Nigel spotted Mo and Anya and went to sit behind them. Why is Flamsteed wearing sneakers. If he did not say. Nigel would have to ask. Too intriguing. |
Even though Caterina seemed to have a certain issue with being on time for anything else, she had - so far - made it on time to all of her lessons which was just yet another reason why this Moretti was winning. Oh yes. Flamsteed seemed to be preoccupied with the view and she'd thought about leaving him to it, but everyone else who had come in just ahead of her had sent a greeting, so she didn't feel bad interrupting his moment. "Hello Professor." And a charming smile for you as well. After she took her seat, she looked out towards the pretty sky and spotted a few familiar faces on her way (eyes on you, Branxton.) |
"Hi prof. Cool shoes." SNEAKERS. Yeah. Alice approved. Like usual, she didn't pause to roll the lint off of her robes, because she didn't need it and all. Clever enough to make sure she was presentable before leaving the dorms, see? Plus Aireyhead's lint roller was probably used for getting cat hair off his couch or something, and she didn't want any of that stuff on her because reasons. Incrimination reasons from Romanos, who was totally still suspicious about her hairless cat tails. Alice knew. Speaking of cats.. was that Cat? Her Cat? "Hi Caterina Ocarina. I'm gonna sit by YOU today." Lucky her. |
Nerida walked into the Astronomy classroom after the lint rolling because besides cats Professor Flamsteed She stopped when she saw him, black sneakers what happened to the normal pretty shoes.."Hello Professor. Umm nice shoes??Why aren't you wearing your normal pretty fancy shoes?" He should be wearing normal pretty fancy shoes not...Sneakers. Still looking at the shoes the blonde took a seat. |
Another lesson with Professor Weird. Heh. Please be another comedy show. Giggles were needed when school got busy, you know? Her uniform all neat and tidy, the Hufflepuff walked along the school, making her way to the Astronomy class where she entered quietly and only then noticed the beautiful sunset. Nature...gross at times, but at others beyond beautiful. This was one of the beyond beautifuls. In awe Renesmee stared for a few moments and then only continued walking so that she could greet the crazy Professor. "Evening, Professor." She gave him a nod then a giggle as she looked at his shoes. Trying to be hipster, wasn't he? This professor never failed to surprise her. BUT a seat. She needed one. With a pout taking place on her lips, she turned around and looked for the best place to plonk down for the lesson. |
WEEEE~ ASTRONOMYYYY~ Daichi skipped, yes skipped up the steps towards the Astronomy tower. A bright looking smile was visible on his face though he had bags under his eyes from the lack of sleep. But he had a good reason! His mission to make the world a BEAUTIFUL and HAPPY place with the help of ice cream was super IMPORTANT! His Prefect job? PFFFT! that came next, cause that wasn't as important~ "MOOOOORNING, Professor~!" He greeted the man, flashing another briiiight smile before he turned around. But instead of walking to a place he spun back around again, eyes wide and arms flailing. "WOAH! It's almost EVENING! why did i think it was morning?!" His tired looking eyes looked outside at the beautiful sun set and staaaaaaaaared. Not moving an inch. And did he see the man's new sneakers? Nope, he was too busy staring in to nothing. This place lacked ice cream, yo! |

Bounce bounce bounce bounce back to the front of the classroom in front of the blackboard. He ought to remind people about his class announcement since he was getting a lot of confused looks about his shoes. "We will wait another 10 minutes or so before beginning. I want to remind you all that you ought to be wearing or at least brought with you a pair of comfortable shoes. If you do not have any with you now then I suggest you hurry back to your common rooms to get them. No summoning, please. You might knock someone out while they are walking." Because flying shoes in the corridors just spelled DISASTER in all capital letters. |
"Thankssss Sir! It was a good match!" BEAM! Ella had her trainers on too so she was set. YUP. And she also had lots of energy right now. Airey was bouncing so could she bounce too? Only he hadn't instructed them to get up yet and she didn't want to break classroom rules or anything. Instead she'd just have to bounce in her seat. Bounce. Bounce. Ouch. That sort of hurt her knees. She'd need to stop that. |
Astronomy! Cassia took off from the common room and ran towards the tower. She was NOT late, ok? She was going to get their right on time. You know not early because she was searching for her textbook. She kinda forgot where she had put it but she remembered and stuffed it into her bag then to the tower she ran. Phew! She needed the workout, you know. The snake peered inside soundlessly making sure that the lesson hadn't started. Grinning that she wasn't late, she stepped in clutching her bag, then proceeded inside the classroom, "Good Day Professor!" She greeted smiling before looking around to choose a desk. Finding one, she settled and waited for the Lesson. Oh and she did wear comfy shoes. |
Astronomy. Cool class, yeah? Anyway, ariana walked into the class yawning cause she was tired you know, and totally wouldn't of minded if they went to |
Tobias was totally PSYCHED for this lesson. Anything where they'd been instructed to wear comfortable shoes was sure to be awesome, right? Right. His most comfortablest pair of shoes were a pair of black and white converse that he'd owned for like three years and so had definitely been broken in. They were kind of tatty and falling a part through age and Tobias had a bad feeling he'd be growing out of them soon (they were too big when he first got them) but they were able to deal with Tobias' exuberance and energy so they were perfect. "Hey Mr Professor!" Tobias beamed as he pretty much frolicked and bounced into the class. "Totally psyched for the lesson - comfy shoes always leads to good things, after all." BEAM. He was hopeful that the gummy worms he'd eaten before arriving were enough to provide the right amount of energy to last him through the class but not keep him hyper ALL night. Wow, the sky was super pretty tonight. Before he allowed himself to be distracted by that, Tobias went and sat by Ella and gave her a happy wave. HAIIIIII CAPTAIN! Then he fidgeted in his his seat, completely unable to keep still, and waited for the start of the lesson. |
Asher walked into the classroom after delinting his clothes. "Hi Professor. Nice kicks!" He said as he strode over to an empty chair. After taking a seat, Asher checked his bag one last time to make sure he had everything he needed. Glancing up, he noticed what a beautiful evening it was. "This is going to be awesome"he said in a faint whisper. |
Sophie walked up to the Astronomy tower and entered the classroom behind a tiny little Hufflepuff she didn't know yet (Asher). She had actually been following him from the lower levels, but not creepily, of course! "Hi, professor!" She smiled at the man before proceeding to follow the younger badger and sit next to him. "Hello! I'm Sophie!" |
Laura decided she had better go to this lesson even if she wasn't feeling very well. "ACHOOOOOO! Laura sneezed, she felt really bad but she knew that the headache would go eventually. "Good..." Laura smiled at the Professor. "Good day sir." Laura "How are you today?" Laura went and sat down waiting for the Professor to speak. |
ASTRONOMY! ... Yeah... he was THAT excited about it. See, eating ice cream before going to a lesson helped. Ice cream was just awesome like that! Having de-linted himself, Alec bounded into the classroom, a wide grin spread across his face. It wasn't a bad day, either, and what made it even more better was that he got the chance to wear his converses to this lesson. It didn't take him quite as long to figure out which pair of converses to wear as it did to sort out his hair. But his hair was looking better now, right? Yeah? Moving on... "Hello Professor!" GRIN! ... And he was wearing different shoes. So the shoes were going to be important or...? ... Shrugging, the sixteen year old headed over towards an empty seat near his Captain and sat down. "Hey, you!" he said, grinning widely at her. ... And... who was... TAGGIE! GRIN AND WAVE! |
Comfortable shoes. That was all Glitter Trousers had asked for in relation for this lesson, but those two words created SUCH a gigantic problem. See, Ascanius was a nice looking bloke Typical. The better looking blokes were always penalized. Trying to take it in stride, he walked over to his seat without saying hello to the Professor and leaned back in his seat. He was giving off annoyed vibes, mmk? And the Professor could continue singing his twinkle town show tunes or whatever. Glitter Trousers, pfft. |
It felt like they were having Astronomy classes a lot this term. Theo wasn't sure if he appreciated that. He marched into the classroom, and took a seat quickly, not paying too much attention to the surroundings. "Hello, professor." At least he wasn't yawning this time. Nope, Theo was very much awake. |
Astronoooooomyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!! Forrest's mind went as he RAN to the class, Prof Flamsteeeeeeeeeeeeed! He wasn't late for the class, definitely not. He just spent too much time reading, but with the advice that they wore comfy shoes, he ran faster than ever and arrived at the class on time. Panting like a wild dog, but on time. For Prof Flamsteed. "Hello, SIR!" he barked happily as he offered his hugest grin to the man and found a seat in the front row, thankfully. Comfy shoes and a spectacular view. He LIKED the combination. |

Checking his sundial watch one last time, Airey gave his wand a quick flick to close the door to the classroom. "Alright, let's get started," his voice boomed through the classroom. Making his way front and center, Airey furrowed his brow slightly and his expression turned very VERY serious. "To start things off I have a VERY important question to ask, WHO WANTS ICE CREAM?!" |
!!! "ME." Alice's hand shot up immediately. "I do, professor, ME. Are you going to get us some? What flavor? No one's told me yet if the machine in the kitchen makes jelly slug ice cream, but I really, really want that kind. Other kinds are good too, because ALL ice cream is good ice cream, but I really, really want jelly slug. Do you like that kind of ice cream? What's your favorite flavor?" Wait, breath, she needed a breath. "But I want ice cream. I do! Field trip? To the kitchens? Please?" She was giving him puppy eyes. |
o_____________o Seriously? With the ice cream? Seriously? Tobias paused in his bouncy fidgeting and stared up the professor in confusion. Why did everyone here love ice cream so much? 'Cause it was good... but this school was like super obsessed. BUT WHO WAS TOBIAS TO DENY SUGAR?! He thrust his hand up into the air. "Yesssssss!" Pick me, pick meeeeeee. And anyone else he supposed. "... please!" |
BAM! Not only Daichi's arm but his whole body flew upright the moment the Professor asked the first question. And the man was right, this question was really important! He waved his arm to get the Professor's attention and griiiiiiined from ear to ear. "I WANT ICE CREAM~!" He shouted back as well. "Ice cream , ice cream , iiiiiceee creeeam~!" This man was definitely in the cool people list! He totally wanted to see the face of Dylan when he found out there had been an ice cream question. BWAHAHAHAHA! |
Who wants Ice Cream? Not Nigel. He would rather have to lesson start then want ice cream. He was more in the mood for Fizzing Whizbees anyway. So he just crossed his arms, put them on his desk, and dropped his head onto them. Might as daydream until class really starts. Sigh. |
The hi's from earlier are in here too She sat and watched the rest of the class piling in. There was Ella beaming and waving at her!! She GRINNNED and waved back at the Hufflepuff. Ella was super nice, you know? Then there was Mack. "Heeeey!" Her teammate got waves that were cut off when LOTTIE plopped down next to her. "HAI!" Only it wasn't that loud, just enthusiastic because she knew the girl's view on noise. Nodnodnod. She beamed over at Mika too and sent a wave at Cassia. Oh, but now the lesson was starting and she was paying extra attention-- mvhfhfdfgstkfu!! Alexa hopped out of her seat immediately and was waving her hands about, flailing really. ME!! I want ice-creeeeam!! Pick me!!!!!" Bouncing was happening too. OVVVEEEEER HHEEEEEERRRE!!!!! |
Once Kace got to astronomy and sat down, he heard the professor just start the lesson. He just made it! Yes....Score one for Kace! Then he heard the professor ask if they wanted ice cream. Kace's eyes bugged out. O__________O "I WANT SOME!" he said raising his hand and jumping on the balls of his feet. "Pick me! Pick me!" he said using his cute charm. He didn't know what the ice cream had to deal with the lesson but who cares it was ice cream! He wanted it whether he cared or not. |
Ice cream! Ice cream! Tag wanted ice cream very badly. The red leprechaun raised his hand up in the air and waved it about his head enthusiastically. He wanted ice cream! Tons of it. Me professor! I want some please. Oh and some for wonderful Alec Summers as well. I can only assume! Of course Alec would want some. And Tag did not find it out that the professor was asking who wanted ice cream. Oh well, he was just happy! |
Text Cut: Flamsteed! Oh! Whoops! Hadn't noticed you there, Tobias! Alec grinned and waved at the little dude before shuffling away. ... Oh? GRIN. "Thanks Professor!" he said, saluting the man back. How awesome was this? Astro Man thought that his flying was stellar. STELLAR! GRIN. And his homework was called stellar too, at one point. Or was that for something else? ... Alec... didn't know but hey! Quidditch compliments! GRIN. And wait... he was offering ice cream? ICE CREAM? Alec raised his hand in the air and waved it around a little, the grin still spread across his face. "Me please! Please please please!" he called out, "Are we all going to have an ice cream picnic?" What an AWESOME way to start off the lesson! Really. GRIN GRIN GRIN. |
Sitting in the classroom, with Little princess, hidden inside her pocket and out of the view from professor Flamsteed, she stared unbelievingly at his Shoes. They were… no… the professor was just strange, he was funny, but strange… She was curious about this lesson, as usual but she had no idea what they would learn this time, professor Flamsteed did really unexpected things! She just wanted to take her parchment out of her bag when the professor asked them… if they wanted ice-cream? What was happening? Was everybody crazy? It was COLD outside! Ice-cream was something you would eat in the summer, and it was now obviously, no summer! But… was there something special about this ice-cream? Was it so delicious that everybody wanted to eat it, even now that it was still cold outside? The second year old frowned and decided that she wanted to try it, and if she didn’t liked it she would just throw it away! She raised her hand, “I want some, professor!” |
Mackenzie was still captivated by the amazing view and briefly heard Airey's question..."ice cream..." eww.. Mackenzie being lactose intolerant, couldn't eat ice cream, drink milk, or have cheese... which she can't stand because she loves to drink milk. "No thank you Professor" the blonde politely declined the professor's offer and went back to staring at the horizon. |
Forrest gasped as his face was lit with wonder, searching the man's face with a hint of bad intention but there was NONE and he clapped his hands once. He had REALLY been working on it! He wanted to hug the man and himself with glee, but refrained from doing to. He could always do that later. As for now... He leaned forward, ready to bark ANY answer--he had read THE WHOLE BOOK phrase by phrase and he trusted his knowledge now--but no sound came. On the contrary... his face fell as if he was hit by a car. Ice-cream. He wanted to vomit. |
Cautious bouncing. Right. She could do that. Beam! The blonde then noted she got to sit with cutie Tobias and the boyfriend which made her all the bouncier. They each got BEAMS and waves and then it was time for class to start. ... ....... ICE CREAM? Realllyyyyyyy?! "Yes please!" Like lots, right? Cause Ella could eat lots of ice cream. Oh! And did Airey have gummy worms too? Hmmm? |
Quote:
But he didn't want to look TOO eager about it, so Mo casually brushed Anya's hand away from his hair before raising his hand. Oh, well. If you have ice cream, we suppose we'll have some or whatever. |
Quote:
Laura just slumped into her desk. "I do." Laura said weekly, she'd always eat ice-cream she loved the stuff but she was feeling a bit under the weather today, ice-cream was awesome it always was and she would eat it and eat it and eat it and share it with everyone. |
Dylan...........was eyeing the Professor...and everyone in his immediate vicinity. EYEING THEM. It was like a cult-following up in here. What even...? "No, thank you, sir." He was convinced there was something in that blasted dairy treat. There had to have been. Look at how dense it was making his peers. Snort. Good thing he had his team on a strict diet. Merlin forbid... Where was Daichi? Surely he was going to appear and embarrass their entire house... |
Quote:

Anya was busy staring at Mo's hair when ice cream was mentioned. Awesome Professor say what? ICE CREAM! "I want ice cream!" she said holding her hand so high she was nearly standing up. She was so preoccupied with the thought of ice cream she hadn't even noticed that Mo had swatted her now raised hand away. "OH! And I volunteer to take Dylan's." Just saying. |
Wait?! Was their Mr. Flamey asking them if they wanted ice cream? Actually?! Lexi loved ice cream. After all who didn't and now Mr. Flamey...their professor was asking if anyone wanted ice cream. SQUEE! Of course she wanted it. She almost wanted to bounce up and down in excitement. In fact she was starting to bounce in her seat. "Professor...PROFESSOR!!!!! I want some ICE CREAM!!!!! PLEASE!" Yep. That was her reaction and she didn't care if she was on the verge of screaming. It was ice cream!!!! |
Oh hi there Alice Palace. Cat grinned, so lucky was she that she got to sit next to Alice, right? She should thank her lucky stars and such. She waved at the Gryffindor and snickered at the thought of flying shoes hitting someone over the head when the Professor spoke. ...Ice cream? Really? Well heck, who was going to turn that down? "I think this is a fabulous idea, you should definitely roll with it." That was her way of saying YES to ice cream. |
Text Cut: Befooore professor went crazy 'bout ice cream =P ASHER!! Sophie turned her head to face the professor when said man yelled and asked them if they wanted ice cream. Chuckling, she looked for Ella and Alec, knowing way too well that them, along some other friends of hers, would gladly accept some. Sophie herself didn't care much about sweets, to be honest, but she didn't mind having some ice cream if everyone else was too. The brunette let out another chuckle and shurgged her shoulders. "Sounds like it's going to be a fun lesson!" She told Asher with another smile. |
Quote:
The not Hufflepuff squirmed in his seat as Professor Space Man said the lesson was starting. Hopefully they would be doing more exciting things. Except, it looked like they were in trouble. What did they do? Ice cream? "UGH" Kaiden groaned loudly. Why was everyone eating ice cream? |
WHAT DID PROFESSOR AIREY JUST SAY?!?!?!?!?!! Not no, but hell no! But all she could do was watch in absolute horror as she was proven correct about the ice cream. Because there was no denying that there was up with the frozen treat now. At least she wasn't the only one not going crazy over the stuff as Dylan was refusing the offer too. "None for me, thanks." And joining her house's captain in his eyeing now. |
SPOILER!!: Le crazy Astronomy Professor Nerida grinned a sheepish smile..."Of course..Just shocking to see you without them?" Yeah good comeback. She had skimmed the announcement really. But luckily for her she had worn comfortable shoes. She looked over at the Professor as he started the class. Ice Cream was big this year. It was a good thing she loved ice cream. "I do!!" |
Of course Peyton had seen the announcement, but it didn't mean that the man couldn't match his clothes. He could have worn... Oh dear Merlin. She was becoming her sisters. Well, that wasn't good. Nope, nope. She shook her head and hugged her messenger bag instead. She's grown fond of the bag. At Airey's comment Peyton glanced down at her feet. Comfy shoes, check. And they matched... Not that it mattered. Ahem. WAIT. HOLD UP. WHAT THIS REALLY HAPPENING?! :whaa: Peyton's arm shot up into the air so fast that it was lucky no troll was near or it would have gotten a nice slap in the face. "Meeeeee! I doooooo." OH MERLIN. A professor was offering ice cream. "Pleeease!" INNER FLAIL. |
SPOILER!!: GASP! No ice cream?! Airey paused as he looked at those who had either said no politely, rudely, or just said nothing at all. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THESE STUDENTS!? HOW COULD YOU NOT WANT ICE CREAM?! Dark wizards who had been polyjuiced perhaps? They were blowing their cover. Majorly. Either that or these were students who had traveled from another dimension through a wormhole and...oh wait. That was in the science fiction novel he was reading. Har har imagination getting away with him again. Never mind. "Pity," he said with a sad frown. 50 points from all your houses for making your professor sad. And the ice cream. Poor ice cream. Just kidding though. No points are being taken.. SPOILER!!: YES YES YOU ALL ROCK OUR SOCKS! "HOLY COMETS ME TOO!" he exclaimed, complete with some mild arm flapping. "Pity I have a no food or drink policy. MOVING ON NOW!" And that was the end of that ice cream discussion. He was just curious who else felt like having some because he was practically drooling at the mouth right now. Oh, but someone had asked him about his favorite ice cream. "My favorite flavor would have to be Lunar Cheesecake. The muggle ice cream company Baskin Robins introduced the flavor to commemorate landing on the moon by Apollo 11." True story. "Last lesson we discussed Polaris, which sadly has little to do with ice cream other than there SHOULD be an ice cream flavor named after the star." Hmmm...he had thoughts about this. "More importantly, ish, we discussed how Polaris, our current North Star, remains stationary in the night sky and all other stars and celestial bodies rotate around it. This is due to the earth's spin and Polaris' location being very close to the north celestial pole of the earth's axis. This makes it the ideal point of reference for navigational purposes." And that about got them caught up. "We will continue our discussion of Polaris a bit more this lesson along with a sort of field trip." Just not to the kitchens. He wasn't really sure that the activity counted as a field trip, but they WOULD be out of the classroom, so close enough. Tapping his wand on the blackboard, the professor removed the Disillusionment Charm he had placed on a portrait. "Now, can anyone tell me who this gentleman is?" OOC: this lesson will continue about 20 hours from now. Have your student try to guess who this is. It is perfectly alright to guess the wrong name as correct answers aren't the only ones to receive credit ;) |
No ice cream? Alice tried not to look too crestfallen. Also, what in the name of Merlin was Lunar Cheesecake? "I know who the guy is, professor!" Her hand was raised, and she waved it about for good measure before answering, too. Just in case Aireyhead was still thinking about ice cream- ice cream!!- and didn't see her. "An astronomer." .. well, obviously. Did they even talk about anything else in here? But she wasn't going to say his name, because he hadn't specifically asked for a NAME. .. also, because she didn't know. |
Well then... That was rather anticlimactic. :mellow: There was asking about ice-cream--she was bouncing, COULDN'T HE TELL?? But...no ice-cream. What even? Alexa deadpanned at the Professor as she slowly re-took her seat. If that was meant to be a joke, it wasn't very funny. In fact it left her thinking about nothing but the ice-cream that she would never have. How good it would have tasted, the possible flavours it might have been, the variety of toppings that might have been present, how many scoops they would each get. She didn't want to hear about Polaris, the bloody thing wasn't edible. Nothing in the sky was edible and cold. There were no sprinkles up there in the great, dark blue sky...none she could put on her sundae. Beautiful sundae... What's this? Who was that man? She could tell you who he wasn't; a bowl of ice-cream. More deadpan looks. "I don't think I've ever seen him before Professor." Came her almost inaudible response. The betrayal was still fresh you see. How could you do this to us, Airey???? |
Tag had absolutely no clue who that man was. An he was no genius and did not have a answer off the top of his hand, like some people did. So he merely made a comment about this man " Professor he looks like he could be some guy involved in politics. They all look and dress funny with those weird ruffled collared blouses. But, I'd say he's a political astronomer!?" If that was even a possible occupation. Tag held back a quiet laughing fit. No he'd not burst out of laughter from his answer. What was the point in lying his answer? |
NO. WAY. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! She could cry right here, Airey, but she wouldn't because that was ridiculous. Seriously, though, her jaw entirely fell when he said they weren't gonna get ice cream, like, why bother with the offer, eh??? Precisely. That was rather mean of you, AND NEW. She got new ones because *clears throat* detention. Yellow paint. One drop on her shoes. So, new ones. ANYWAY. Regardless of the utter annoyance she felt over not getting the ice cream, and...how much she didn't care about Lunar Cheesecake (she would've under different circumstances), Lottie didn't feel like answering. She even had her arms crossed and everything, but...SIGH...this was Airey, so, she'll answer. "A scientist of sorts." Hand was raised, yes, and now was put down. THAT is the only answer he'll get. For now. |
Whew. She had avoided complete disaster there. Because there was no telling what these ice cream crazed lunatics were capable of. But her wand was at the ready, just in case. Right there at the very end of her sleeve, ready to slide into hand at a moments notice. And onto something actually related to Astronomy now. "That's Galileo." At least, she was pretty sure that's who it was. |
Marigold was still thinking about ICE CREAM when Professor asked the question. "He definitely looks familiar... either a scientist or an astronomer?" she said. OOoh, Lunar Cheesecake sounds yummy! |
Thankfully no one was going to eat ice-cream. Really. Forrest didn't understand the craze at all. He was MARRED for the rest of his life about ice-creams. Back to the class. He got that intent look back and his eyes bore into the man. Would it make him comfortable? The thought didn't even occur to little Hufflepuff, he just didn't want to miss a word or action of Professor Flamsteed, so... intent hazel eyes following him, and a mouth on edge to answer any question quickly. Except, Prof was asking all the wrong questions today. His eyes flickered to the portrait and he frowned at it. He didn't know who he was. Was he in the book? He could name two muggle astronomers, but he doubted the portrait reflected any of them. Hmm... His hand rose in the air tentatively. "Copernicus." He was wrong, but he tried nevertheless to say something. |
Dylan took one look at Professor Flamsteed's crestfallen expression and sighed. "I apologize, sir."...but he still wasn't eating the ice cream...Wait. Was Beezy Weezy around? He gave covert looks to his peers and immediate surroundings ...She'd be so very disappointed in him if she heard that...Ahem. Either way... ...and then there was a recap. Awesome. ...and then a picture was revealed. SMIRK. Seriously? Did no one know? Well, Dylan knew. He knew because just like at that seminar...he WAS terribly smart...and generally smarter than most of them. Thank YOU very much. "William Herschel, sir. He discovered Uranus, Oberon and Titania..."...and he knew THAT because his baby brother's middle name was Oberon...AND they'd talked about this guy last term, hadn't they? The Slytherin seemed to remember him from Burbage's class, too... |
YAY! ICE CREEEAAAAMMMMMWWWhat?! NO ICE CREAM. Daichi scratched the Professor off of the imaginary cool people list. No ice cream is not cool. A slight pout on his lips, the Slytherin sat back down and crossed his arms over each other while listening to the question. His eyes looked at the picture in front of the class and he had the feeling he had seen that man before. Was it in a textbook or somewhere else? Well, not in real life that was for sure, hehe. Scratching the back of his head, Daichi tried to recall his name. Argh what was it again? Something with Her...Herman? no no that didn't sound right. Herschman? no..Her...Herschel? DING-DING-DING a light bulb seemed to go off in Daichi's head and he shot his hand up in the air. "That's Herschel, professor! He was an astronomer and composer!" PROUD BEAM! "And judging by that name, he sounds German" NOD NOD it was a total German name wasn't it? |
Asking Sarah if she liked ice cream was like asking her if she was a girl. It was obvious of course Quote:
|
No. Theo didn't want ice cream, so he wasn't overly bothered when the professor revealed that he didn't even have any. That was a little bit harsh to everyone else, though. He vagely listened to his summary of the last lesson, and thankfully, he still remembered most of it. As for the picture, Theo had no idea. "He looks like a judge with that hairdo." You know, how they wear those long white wigs and stuff? |
Text Cut: Airey Cassia waited till people decided who wanted ice-cream and who didn't. Now she liked ice-cream, who didn't? But she didn't feel like it now. So she did raise her hand. Though, seeing how many students wanted, she doubted that if she had wanted any, there'd still be left for her. Though, no one got ice-cream? heh. Anyway, OHLOOKIE! It was Lex. And excited wave for you lioness. Then when Professor Flamsteed started reminding them of the last lesson she was so proud that she remembered everything as well as what he hadn't mentioned. This would be helpful when it's exams time. Now, there was a picture of a man. A very old man seeing how his hair looked liked. Poor man. "Ummm.....A man with bad hair," she answered her eyes fixed on the hair. Why couldn't he fix his hair with a potion or a charm or something. Were they going to learn about hair. Maybe hair had something to do with the stars. Could be. |
No ice-cream? WHAT? She hasn’t expected this, not that she was disappointed, she only wanted to try the ice-cream because she had been very curious why everybody was so hyper about it. But what she didn’t understood was why the professor tried to make a LOT students happy about it and that he then would disappoint them… she eyed Daichi who was also sitting in the classroom and she KNEW that he loved ice-cream, what was strange, but she knew that he would be VERY disappointed. At first she had only been curious why everybody wanted to eat ice-cream, but now she was annoyed, the professor was still talking about ice-cream as if it was the most important thing ever! And he was wrong, ice-cream wasn’t important, SHE was important, her rat Little princess was important AND everything with the color pink was important, but not just some simple ice-cream! Oh NOOOO! A Field trip? She didn’t wanted that? A trip means working and walking… And… She was tired! She wanted to just sit and do her work from behind her desk! Her face darkened while she stared unbelievingly at professor Flamsteed. She really, really wished that he had made another joke and that she could stay where she was now during the whole lesson, sitting on her chair and INSIDE the classroom! But, she was lucky, for now. The professor showed a picture from… a old man? She had thought that Professor Botros, who was REALLY MEAN AND OLD had been ugly, but this man was also strange and she realized that he must be a muggle, only muggles were so stupid and ugly! And to be honest, she didn’t knew who he was, but… she tried to answer the question, even now that she KNEW that it was wrong. She raised her hand and spoke. “I think that he is just a old man who is probably already death” She eyes the clothes he wore and spoke further. “I also think that he has studied Astronomy, I’m guessing this because, well, this IS a Astronomy lesson…” |
Melanie blinked blankly at the portrait. Who was that supposed to be? Well, Melanie had no idea. She was pretty sure there were hundreds of people who looked exactly like that person in the portrait because for some really weird reason, people with white hair were more popular than people with normal colored hair. Also, people had this thing for powdered wigs or whatever - Melanie didn't understand that either. But right... the professor asked a question about who that guy was. Good question. "A famous dead person who discovered something," Melanie offered, raising her hand. Because all famous dead people who had discovered something in their life seemed to look like that. |
No Ice cream? Jory was disappointed. Ice cream and this lesson would have gone along so well together! A combination of his favourite treat and one of his favourite classes. Right now, though, the final year badger was staring at the portrait and trying not to think of ice cream. The man's portrait looked vaguely familiar but Jory couldn't quite place him. "Erm...I can't remember his name, Professor,'' he said honestly. "But it's probably an astronomer?'' |
That guy was weird and Nigel had no idea who he was. But he had read up on some interesting characters from that show Flamsteed watches. So lets go with that. "It is either Khan or The Borg Queen is disguise. You can never be too careful." It was probably some famous astronomer or someone. But where is the fun in that. |
Kat did like ice cream, but she believed that now wasn't the right time to have that. She wasn't in any mood to eat ice cream, sadly. So if Professor Flamsteed was sad and stuff, she was sorry. But anyway... that dude. The prefect squinted at the image. Familiar. Yes, it seemed like someone she recognized. But, oh yeaah. What captain said. That was him, yep. Kat didn't wanna repeat answers all over again though but... well, whatever. It was still the correct answer. The prefect raised her hand up. "What they said, Professor," she nodded. "William Herschel." And no explanation as to WHY because, obviously, Dylan had said everything. Most of it. You still got the point. |
Oh. Well. Okay then. Tobias lowered his hand and wibbled slightly for a moment before remembering that it was A-OKAY because at first he hadn't even wanted ice cream. Only, you know... if there was any going. And there wasn't. SO NO NEGATIVE VIBES FROM HIM. With regards to the question Tobias looked at the portrait and tilted his head aaaaaaaaaaall the way to the right... and then aaaaaaaaaaaall the way to the left... and then aaaaaaaaaaaall the way to the right again... and then raised his hand. "Dumbledore?" |
She wasn't that disappointed about the ice cream, okay? And her chin totally didn't wobble a bit when Airey-face crushed her ice cream dreams without a second thought. Yup, it didn't at all. Sighhhhhh. Anyway, back to class. Oh. Portraits. Ella was still feeling bad for portraits in general since the goblins had grossly mistreated the ones she'd been near during the erm... goblin-napping. Yeah, poor portraits. As for this one she was being shown now, Ella quite agreed with Theo about the judge comment. His hair just wasn't doing it for Ella. She thought he needed a good shampooing if she was being honest. Well that was if it was even his real hair. It probably wasn't. Gran was the wig expert in the family so she'd have to write her on this to be sure but anyway...who was that dude? Oh...That Wilhelm guy. Ella had heard about him before. "If it is Herschel, I read that he discovered Saturns moons as well which is pretty neat." Mini!smile. |
Laura looked at the Professor and raised her hand "ACHOOOOOOOO!" Laura sneezed again, she wished this cold would go away, she knew it would eventually, "Is it Christopher Columbus?" Laura decided that she would guess. "He found loads of different places and was key in finding new lands" |
Asher studied the gentleman for a moment before shooting his hand in the air, "I know, that's Edmond Halley." At least he hoped it was. He knew it was some old important guy. |
Text Cut: LMAO! Flamsteed! XD Did Tag realise that he just got major best mate points? Did he? Alec GRINNED WIDELY over at the blonde when he mentioned that Alec would like some ice cream too. SEE? The boys knew each other really well! It was just a pity that their common rooms were so far apart. They could meet up for ice cream a lot more often. And speaking of ice cream, Flamsteed had none. Oh. Sadface. The Hufflepuff had been getting excited about having some ice cream! Like REALLY excited! But... if the Professor didn't have any on him right now, that didn't mean that they couldn't get some afterwards, right? Also, Lunar Cheesecake? That was an ice cream flavour? REALLY? When Cassia pointed out the hair thing, Alec leant a little closer and examined the hair carefully. That... was sad, actually. That his hair was... well... Poor dude. But it did look like he had better hair back when he was younger so... still. Poor dude. ... And people... knew who he was? HOW?! Tentative hand!raise. "Erm... he discovered something to do with Astronomy and we're going to learn about it?" That really was the best he had. |
Sophie laughed when professor Flamsteed fooled the whole class. Hehehehe, that had been a good one! Though Sophie didn't quite know who that person in the picture was, so she decided to stay quiet. It was odd the number of people who also didn't know who the guy was. Sophie had grown used to everyone knowing most things! Huh... maybe professor Flamsteed had finally gotten them all to-- oh, there were lots of people who knew who he was after all. Never mind then! The badger listened as each student pretty much said a different name, and looked back at the picture, wondering which name suited the man better. |
Live long and prosper? Erm....what was the meaning of that? It was a little funny how weird Airey was, but that...what he had just said..it kinda creeped Nessie out just a little bit. Anyways Professor Flamsteed seemed harmless to her. As for shoes. Yep. Yep. She had a comfy pair on...so the lesson would begin soon then? Yeeep. It would, because begin it did. Ice cream. Did she want? Heh why not...but she didn't raise her hand just yet, she decided to wait for it to be passed around, because surely everyone would get if he asked them if they wanted. Yeah? Maybe not in this case. Mellow. She just blinked at him and stared a little. Okaaay then. Because that was totally normal. First proper question, eventually. Not that Ness knew how to answer it. You know she didn't exactly read books about astronomers all day, which she assumed this man was one. But no answer for you, Airey, on this one. Sorry. |
SPOILER!!: Airey XD Ha. Like Ascanius knew or cared who this guy was in the picture. He looked like he was from probably around 1920 at LEAST. You know, a really OLD guy. So he was just gonna sit back and let everyone else..........yeah, figure it out. Whatever. He wasn't in the mood right now. Ascanius was in UGLY shoes, yeah? Pfft. Unhappy Slytherin. |
Kace liked the idea of having an Astronomy related ice cream flavor. He would totally be the taste tester. That is for sure. But now the professor was moving on with the lesson and he didn't wanna get behind. He took off the charm from the photo and he asked them what they thought he was. Kace gave the photo a quizzical look. Ummm...... Yeah....... He never saw this guy before. Kace raised his hand to be honest, "Professor i can honestly say i do NOT know this guy. Is he from another planet?" Hence the little astronomy pun there? Nahhh alright at least he tried *shrugs* |
Anya Phillips was devastated. Completely and utterly devastated. The Gryffindor hid it well though. She was sporting the smile that was nearly always contently plastered on her face. She'd... get some ice cream later. DOUBLE the ice cream actually. Dylan wasn't planning on eating any. And that delicious ice cream deserved to be eaten. Anyway. Her hand went up casually. "Her... shawl." Or something like that. That was actually the exact portrait hanging in a museum she'd been too. "He got famous for discovering things were close together. Which, is horrible. If I was born back then I'd be famous too. I can totally tell when things are close together." She could multiply too. She was a double threat. She could cook too. She just wasn't sure that that was concerned a threat. |
No ice cream? Bummer. Maybe Penelope would get some later now that she was thinking about it. Or something else to eat. Or both. Yeah, that sounded good. With that in the back of her mind, she focused back on the lesson. Oh, a picture of some bloke she didn't know. Or...did she? Had Professor Burbage shown them someone like that? "Is it...Newton?" she asked/answered, raising her hand. Burbage's would-be husband. Penelope didn't really remember what he looked like exactly all that well, so she wasn't sure. She didn't really spend her time memorizing old astronomy guys' faces after all, |
He was sorry, alright? Like really REALLY sorry. The man really wanted ice cream and had seriously been considering lifting the ban on food and drink in his lessons just for it. But he just couldn't do it. Not IN his classroom at least. There were ways around that this lesson if students knew how to approach the situation. He certainly had found his loophole once the activity came around. Quote:

He couldn't have asked for a better segway into his next question. So good for you young lady! "As some of you guess, this man is William Herschel. He was a German-born British astronomer, technical expert, and composer who is known for making many scientific breakthroughs in the field of astronomy. Among those are his discovery of the planet Uranus and its two major moons and the two moons of Saturn. He is also the first to discover infrared radiation and has 24 outstanding symphonies that I suggest you all listen to. Especially for those of you who will be studying for your OWLs and NEWTs. Helped me out quite a bit when I was a studying student." Just so they all knew. "Now, Miss Phillips touched on something very important and relevant to our discussion of Polaris. Can anyone tell me what discovery Herschel made in regards to it?" OOC: class will continue later today GMT+9 Probably around 11 hours from now ^_^ |
O___o And...Ella had an Airey on her desk. The blonde nearly fell out of her chair but managed not to fall, instead looking up at the man with a startled smile. She'd rather have ice cream on her desk, y'know, Professor. She was still a bit cross about that. Anyway, back to the Herschel dude. "Professor Airey? I think he was the guy that found Polaris' companion star. Erm...the one that revolves around it." Which was kind of nice, Polaris having a buddy and everything. |
Oh! Oh, she knew what the guy did and who he was. Just not what he looked like. Blaming the focus issues on ice cream, okay? "Polaris B," Alice started, raising her hand to elaborate on her co-captain's excellent answer, "was discovered by him and it made it into a binary system. Or two star. Whichever. A third one was found and made it a triple star system, but this guy didn't figure that out." She shot Ella a thumbs up and then went back to inspecting the professor's shoes. |
... He was thanking her for her honesty instead of pulling out a bowl of ice-cream and handing it to her for his lame joke just now? You couldn't eat honesty. She tried to tug the corners of her lips so there would be something resembling a smile but that 'joke' just now killed her. It was just as she'd thought. She'd never heard of him before. Lex propped her elbows on her knees and rested her chin on her palms as she watched the Professor correcting everyone and finally talking more about the man she didn't know. Question. If she didn't know him, how was she meant to know what he'd done involving polaris? The theory part of any lesson usually never went well with her and it didn't help that she felt dejected. Professor, don't kill her mood every again. While she waited for everyone else to answer she tried getting her bounce back. She needed her enthusiasm for this class. Come on Lex, think bouncy. She would make an attempt, if only for the sake of getting to talk. "Was he the one that discovered that the star never moves but is a fixed point?" Someone had to have figured it out. Maybe it was him. |
Melanie blinked blankly at the professor's response. Was the professor trying to tell her something? Because she didn't understand the hidden message behind it but she felt like she should if there was a message. Nah, there probably wasn't. So the Gryffindor just nodded her head and jotted down in her notes "famous people became famous after they died" and then after that "that will not be me". Because she wasn't going to do science unless being a singer was considered science which in a way probably could. Melanie instantly started to listen upon hearing the word 'composer'. That was music related. Wait. And then he was talking about Anya's answer. Melanie had to think about that one. "Did he find a star that was attracted to Polaris? Like... Polaris's soul mate or something?" And did they get married? She wondered who officiated that ceremony. Everyone in attendance must've been so starstruck. And inner giggling because starstruck... star... struck... hehe. Yeah, no more inner giggling. Time to focus. |
O_O Well. Somebody did not like Khan. From what Nigel read it was understandable. But Still. See a famous astronomer and maker of symphonies. Could not be that good if Nigel had never heard of him. "He discovered Uranus." Nigel said it correctly of course. He did not want to seem too immature. It was a Funny word. If you don't say it correctly. Though he could not remember reading anything about Polaris. |

"Who did WHAT?" ......Zahra Kettleburn had fallen asleep after dinner. She was remarkably late, but better late than never? Perhaps she could have made a slightly more graceful entry - but WHAT? URANUS? This twelve year ~ and First Daughter of Albert Kettleburn TADA ~ thought THAT was hilarious. Some things just can't be let go. What on EARTH (...on EARTH? HAHAHA Astronomy...) was THIS class about? She wiped sleep out of her eyes, but was chuckling all the same, looking around for a seat. |

Hmmm. How was Mo supposed to randomly recognize strange men in powdered wigs? Was this a trick? A way to make Flamsteed feel better about himself, since he was obviously already so pleased with himself for smooching Mo's favorite professor/pretend girlfriend? HMMMM? He stayed perfectly upright in his seat and watched the errant Gryffindor enter the room before raising his hand, half hoping to distract the professor from taking points from the ickle. "Polaris is actually a multiple star, sir, and Herschel discovered the second star in the system using an uber powerful telescope for the time." |
Anya beamed proudly. The Professor liked her answer! Yayyy. She deserved ice cream. Yes she did. The Professor should give her some. And stick her in anti-detention. If detention existed, there had to be an opposite situation... right? Anyway. What were they talking about again? Attraction. Anya knew loads about attraction. Of course, not all of it would be relevant here. Her hand shot up again. She wanted more hyper Professor praise. "He found a lot of double star systems. Since they were close together they sort of orbited around each other." Or maybe it was the other way around: Since they rotated around each other, they had to be close together? It was kind of a chicken/egg scenario, wasn't it? Anyway. "Anyway. Kind of like the us and moon there's a force that rotates them together." A force that involved math and a calculator and computers and telescopes... and effort. ... and speaking of gravitational orbits... she wondered if anyone had made a ballet about them. Because. If not, that could totally be her claim to fame. The star paths practically already choreographed the entire thing. |
Answers, answers, and more answers. Tag really didn't know much about this guy, hence his comical answer earlier. So, he did not have much background information on this Herschel. Which, by the way, made Tag want to have chocolate >_< . But, the only thing that popped into his mind about anything star, or astronomy related was " North Star? I don't know. Something about it. That's one of the stars I've heard is really popular? Yeah?" Tag answered and asked rather blindly. Yeah. He didn't know too much at the moment. But, he would get to taking his notes very soon. |
SPOILER!!: Catching up! SPOILER!!: Airey! Oh, okay, so she was wrong about who it was. But that was all right because she had known it was just a shot in the dark anyway. She was terrible with remembering faces. Especially faces of those she'd never met and had only seen in a photograph from a long, long, long time ago Okay so...Herchel. Sounds like Hershey. Makes me want chocolate. But aside from that, what did he do in relation to Polaris? Well, I have no idea. She tried to quietly flip through her book to find out. She wasn't being quiet because she thought trying to find some shred of education on the topic wasn't allowed, but because she didn't want to be too loud. And because she was sort of hoping Airey would start singing and jumping across desks again because she liked it when he did that. After a quick review, she raised her hand. "Well, Professor, he was the first to notice the solar system was actually moving through space. So maybe that has something to do with the fixed position of Polaris?" How, she wasn't really sure but she thought if everything else was moving, maybe it would make it easier to learn more about the things that were holding still? She kept her notebook out, ready to write important things about it - and also, maybe to think up some new ice cream flavors because that was important too. |
Galileo was the one with the beard. Noted. And did anyone else jump when Professor Airey randomly yelled? Just her? Okay. Plus, Gryffindor just lost points with a firstie coming in late. So, all in all, a good lesson so far. But that question, Sky had no clue what the answer was. At all. But some of her classmates were saying it was Polaris B. Great potential for a joke there. She wasn't going to go there, though. Nope, she was just going sit here and listen. Mmm hmmmm. |
