Located next door to Professor Flamsteed's office, the Astrophysics Laboratory is strictly off limits to unsupervised students and the door has been charmed locked. You could try to remove the charm, but that would not be very wise on your part as you would walk away with lime green eyebrows that won't fade for days and hair growing out of your ears down to the floor. On occasion, Professor Flamsteed will hold special laboratory lessons and assign homework that can only be completed by using this room. Those wishing to use the laboratory MUST do so under Professor Flamsteed's supervision.
The laboratory consists of 20 hardtop wooden tables with cushioned stools. On each table you used to find a microscope, but now there are just two for the entire laboratory. Other forms of equipment are also available to help students with their scientific research, just be careful not to break anything or you will find yourself receiving more than just a one-way ticket to detention. The shelves on the walls are neatly organized with books, flasks, a few jars of powdered elements, and everything an aspiring astronomer could think of.

“SHInee, why are you red?" the second year old looked really worried, knowing that this was not a good thing. “Wait, I will look in my notes” said Sonea to her star and searched for the reason why her star was now suddenly red. “Oh, there is too much helium!” said Sonea a little surprised. She hasn’t thought about that, but that was not so strange, she had never done this before. “What do I need to do…” Muttered the second year and saw that she needed to use a spell. “Don’t worry SHInee, I will take care of you!” the young girl tapped with her finger against the jar and hoped that her star would hear her.
She took her wand out of her pocket and decided that she needed to buy a wand holster if she was at the Diagon Alley, or… she could order one of her maids to buy one for her, it was not so comfortable to hold her wand always inside her pocket. She flicked two times with her wand and spoke the spell, “Comugasalis!” Curious if it had worked she watched her star and saw with delight that her star was yellow again. “I wonder if there are also pink stars in the sky” muttered Sonea to herself but she was not sure about it, she had never heard about it…
SPOILER!!: Notes
- write your name on a label and place it on your jar
- clean your jar - Scourgify & Tergeo work best
- add one table spoon of powdered helium & hydrogen each to the jar and put the lid on it
- perform Fingere Elementi to change the powdered elements into gases. The two gases will compress on their own within the jar to produce a star.

Seriously, this was awesome no? West was getting RIGHT into it, stunning flying plushies and all that. And then a rush of them headed straight for Dora, and West (realising that because she was on a stool it'd be kinda a big deal if they knocked her off and she got hurt) tossed up a shield between Dora and the planets.
"Protego!" LOTSOFCONCENTRASHUN!

Dora was READY to take on the hoard of plush planets coming at her, and was sure she could send at least half of them back across the lab, but that wasn't necessary cause a shield was being tossed up in front of her, successfully blocking them all and sending some bouncing back in the opposite direction.
Her hands went on her hips as she watch with excitement, and a wide grin was shot at West. "Awesome shield. Thanks." Now that a lot were closer, and she was safe from being knocked off the stool, she snatched up the vacuum head that was still fixated in the air and aimed it at the group of planets still close by.
"Vacavus!"

Still thinking about the possibility from a few pink stars in the sky she smiled. Yes, she definitely wanted to see a few pink starts and she was sure that she would not be the only one who liked them! Everybody would like it if there were pink stars! And if she would have made them than… oh she would be famous! Yes! She wanted to be famous and that everybody would know her name! Sonea Duvessa, the girl who had created the beautiful pink stars… She grinned and looked back at her own yellow star, SHInee. SHInee was not pink but… She had made the star so SHInee was also beautiful! Not as good as a pink star, but good enough!
A few minutes passed and she stared at her star, wondering if he, or she, would discolor again. She wouldn’t be surprised if that would happen, SHInee had discolored already a few times so she knew that it could happen again. And yes, she had been right, her beautiful SHInee started to glow slowly white, it started with a subtle change but soon the glow was more and more white.
But this time she was not worried about her star, she had already her book open on the right page, ready to search for the meaning from the color change and she saw that her star needed some more hydrogen. “Hmm, which spell do I need…” she muttered while she read what was written in her book and found the information she needed. Grabbing her wand she stood up and pointed her wand at the jar with SHInee. She made the right movement, a circling movement and spoke the spell, “Crescere Hydroge nenii.” But nothing happened! Frowning she stared at the jar and re-read again the information in her book and saw that she had spoke the spell wrongly and she did it again. “Crescere Hydrogenenii!” This time she was SURE that she had done it right and yes, the white glow disappeared! She smiled and lifted the jar so that SHInee was close to her mouth and she whispered slowly, “Don’t worry, I take care of you!”

She still looked at her star when she suddenly got a idea. “SHInee, I show you the sky so that you know where you brothers and sisters are!” she smiled sweet while she walked toward the window and lifted the jar up so that her star could look at the sky above her, if it had eyes where she could see with. Sonea had really no idea if her star could see something or not, but she hoped that SHInee could see or at last could sense something so she tried to show her star where her brothers and sisters were.
“SHInee, when you are alone or when you are missing you brothers or sisters, just look at the sky and you will know that you are not alone, never” said Sonea with a friendly look in her eyes. She sighed and felt sorry for her little star who was locked inside the jar, unable to flee away to his family, but her star was still a little baby so she needed to take care of her, to keep her safe until she was strong enough to live without her help…
“Oh, SHInee, I will sing a song for you to let you know that you are not alone, okay?” The second year old took a deep breath and sang:
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
When the blazing sun is gone
When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Not that she had song for her star she remembered where she had heard that song before, her uncle had song it for her when she had been very young, and that was strangely the only memory or her uncle she had before he disappeared from her life until a few months ago…
But… it was not the time to think about home and all the other bad things, no she was here to take care of her star, SHInee! “Oh, wait!” Said Sonea while she ran with SHInee still in her hands toward her schoolbag and searched inside her bag until she had found where she was looking for. She had a few pink stickers, shaped as stars with a LOT sparkles on it and she stuck all the stickers on the jar from SHInee and around her little star, so that she really NEVER would be alone! “Look SHInee, you are now no longer alone!” said Sonea lovingly to her star and looked satisfied.
