Angel stopped bumping into things and then she smiled as she raised her hand. "Professor, the Charles law is an experimental gas law which tells you how gas tend to expand when heated." Angel thought about something before continuing. "So I take it Professor that Charles has created this law and no one knows if it works so they are saying it's an experimental law."

Her father loved this things..and had tried to explain to her..
Lucy said..The Boyler's law says that at constant temperature the condition of a perfect gas is inversely proportional to its volume..
My father loved to diving with me and had told me this law..

Oh, so she hadn't had the right answer? BOO. But at least she had the right answer to a different question! That meant she didn't have to try hard when that question was asked. She could just shout out the answer she'd already given. WIN!

Now the professor was asking about some Astronomy laws, which just confused Sophie, because there were TWO. Which one did she shout out her already-said answer to? She thought it was going to be easier than THAT. Come, Flamsteed!

"BOYLE'S LAW!" she yelled out. "IS THAT WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT WITH THE BALOON? WHEN IT GOES KABOOM?! WHEN THE PRESSURE GOES UP, THE VOLUME GOES DOWN!"

...and that had been the reason why her balloon poodle died on the classroom floor. Sad.

Nigel stopped a while ago bumping into people or not. He did not care enough to remember even a few seconds ago of work. He just walked around the circle. Glaring at people to make sure they would not bump him. It seemed to be working marvelously.

Getting Sidetracked as Nigel usually does. Flamsteed must have some lungs on him to shout, talk, and run around a room and not get tired until some Gryffindor runs into him. Which was a genius way of being a air molecule by the way.

So Nigel has to explain either Boyle's Law or Charles' Law.

Hmm...how about option C. None of the Above and just hmm the ABC 123 song. sounded good to Nigel. Since an example of Mariotte's law is basically just the death of deep sea creatures due to change in pressure. Or simply the popping of a balloon.

Simple Enough

The classroom was really heating up with all this jogging. She could almost feel it radiating off everyone she jogged by and the people who jogged by her. Smart thinking Professor and the warmth was appreciated--the jogging was too. Being trapped in a castle brought on some desperate need for ANYTHING that could induce moving and no going up and down the stairs to classes didn't count.

Kevin losing points hardly registered to her. Kid was a lost cause and just like Bart he was not her problem. None of them were. It wasn't like she was a Prefect or anything. She didn't have a say in any of it and just kept jogging.

In her opinion, both laws were covered by the other joggers and Lex was too busy in a happy warm place in the back of her mind. Good thing she'd had those chocolate frogs before class. Perfect way to burn the sugar away and it made keeping up super easy.

Almost made her miss Alice driving them at 5 am for practices....almost.

So yeah, don't mind us while we silently jog over here.

She had heard about high and low pressure systems. Penelope listened to the professor's explanation, trying to remember everything so she could take notes on it later. Not bumping into any more people, she continued to jog around the room.

Was that a thumbs up from Flamsteed? The shouting must have worked, so she shouted her next answer for the new question. "According to Charles's law, the volume of a gas, at a fixed pressure, is proportional to the temperature. When one increases, the other increases. When one decreases, the other decreases."

Alright so they needed to talk about Boyle's Law and Charles Law? Hmm weird name for the first guy that is for sure. He didn't even know these laws to be honest. But he did agree with Sophie's answer. He just kept running slowly. He didn't need to repeat any answers that were already said. Plus it did make sense with the balloon popping! He grinned and he was surprised he wasn't out of breath yet. Maybe he was just used to running a lot. Yeah that could be it.

No more bumping, thank Merlin! If someone else was to as much as touch her arms Beverly was going to judo flip them. She would. Tossing her hair that had fallen forward behind her shoulder, she strained her ear to hear what Airey was saying next.

It was a good thing she did her reading, huh. Something about this prickled in her mind, so she raised her hand. "Charles's Law!" Did she have to yell? It was ridiculous. Sorry, Airey, it was. "When temperature increases molecules move around faster, creating more force and resulting in the increase of volume!" Yeah? Did she remember that correctly? "Also! There's an expression or formula-" whatever "- to follow?!" RIGHT?

.....who is Charles and Boyle anyway?

Ethan kept jogging, until he heard Simon offer his answer. Well, obviously most of his classmates were saying the same thing over and over again, and thought it pointless to repeat it. Besides, he's just going to pretend that he knows who those dudes are, so he just kept on nodding and busied himself to keep warm. He did however, jogged backwards to where his best bud was...and...was Simon taking notes? While jogging?

Elementary, but impressive.

Anyway, hiya there Watson! Ethan hoped Simon won't be too stingy with his notes later. Right. Jogging some more...

Sophie could hear something about an equation, but that went over her head. So she just kept on moving--that is, until she heard the word STOP. She stopped in place and turned to face the professor. They were only a third or fourth of the way to their goal? What goal, and why was it taking so long to get there? Now the professor was talking about ten kilometers and why it was so significant.

Could Sophie tell him why? Uhh, no.

Then it occurred to her. What in Astronomy took a really, really long time? A lot of things did, but they were traveling, which meant the answer might have something to do with--"Is it a light year?" she asked, raising her hand. "Or, does it take a whole bunch of those kilometers to equal light year?"

Could they like STOP jogging now? Like real--

Oh thank goodness.

Abbi stood a bit to grasp some air. She would of answered those other questions, she really would but that running had been more than enough and anyways people were answering before her. What was so bad about just listening anyways? She would still be absorbing right?

HEH. Anyways this new questions, well she totally knew the answer and maybe it was just about time she answered something. "Well Professor, 10 km is important because that's where clouds usually begin to form at their dew point, no?" Was she right then??

He wasn't going to PRETEND like he understood anything Professor Top hat was saying because, really, Dima had no clue. Could he hear himself talking? Did he know what he was saying? Why could he not see that it was total gibberish? Something something something popping balloons.

That was literally all he got from that.

But he DID know something about the next question. Maybe.

"A TRILLION of those are!" Yeah! He knew! Him! Dima Toussaint! Him! HIM.

Did he get a sticker?

If not, he'd just get Kyroh to give him one later.

Stop. STOP.

Thank Merlin, the jogging is over.

Ethan's got no idea about the relevance of the 10 kilometer thing. Was he supposed to know? Was it elementary stuff? Well, never mind that, because he's got a question of his own. HOW can one Airey Flamsteed jog around the classroom AND give out information such as formulas and stuff at the same time?

Merlin, he needs to take down notes pronto. Or maybe not? Maybe Simon's got that skill too? Taking down notes while jogging, and not poking his eye in the process? Yeah...skillful Watson. Ethan's impressed. Well, back to the question though. 10 kilometers? "Is it part of an equation?" No need to confirm if he got this right, because he was too tired to even stand up. The boy unceremoniously flopped on the floor and streeeetched his tired legs.

They're supposed to do warm ups first, 'fessor Flame-o. Not the other way around. Mhm.

Jasmine kept jogging and wondered just how far the Professor would have them run. She wasn't bothered by it yet because she liked to run and running made her numb.....numb was good. Trying to focus on the information being presented, however, was a challenge. Jasmine was not upset when the Professor finally told the class to stop running.

Then there was a question. What was significant about 10 kilometers? That's how far away Jasmine's mind was from Astronomy right then? Really, she had no idea what the significance of 10 kilometers was and she couldn't seem to come up with a plausible answer. Sooooo until she thought of one, Jasmine would stand quietly, stretch and try to be invisible.

Nigel was already stopped and could not stop running when he already was not. Just the thing you ponder while watching people run. And there he goes again. Does he ever stop for drink of water or even a break. Not that Nigel has seen. Even after getting run over. Flameo was superman or something. Maybe he was making us do this in preperation for an iron man or 10km Run. That must be it. Preparing a class for your own personal agenda did sound pretty awesome.

"Because you are practicing for a 10 kilometer run."

Though he did like Dima's answer.

Oh, they were stopping now? But...but they were just starting to warm up. Lex felt like she was burning some real sugar just now, did you know that Professor? Being winded didn't matter. Lex never thought she'd missed a feeling more than this one. Being tired and getting extra air into your lungs if you want to breath. No quidditch was bad enough but then you add not going outside and you might as well had made her old again.

Lex leaned against a section of the wall trying to catch her breath. You think she'd be trying to internalize all that was said but no, she was effectively clearing her mind and taking deep breaths.

Could they do this again? Almost hitting 10 km sounded impressive and like it was actually worth something in this castle. If only they'd done this distance in laps around the Quidditch Pitch. She would have loved Airey forever--not that she didn't already but you got the idea.

Like most of the class as it would seem, the Gryffindor was lost on this 10 km thing and it's significance but that might have been because of all the deep breathing and just winding down from the job she was doing.

They could FINALY stop jogging. YES. It was right on time. Phew. Simon felt if he had been jogging any longer his legs would have crumbled and he'd have his face hit the floor. Eh. That was probably a bit too extreme a thought; however, the boy definitely felt that way. His muscles were starting to cramp up so he started stretching out his legs. Ahhh... Much better.

Simon stopped jogging and took several moments to catch his breath. As Airey spoke, he continued writing down notes in his handy dandy notebook.



Ah question time.

Simon blinked, utterly baffled by Airey's question about the signifigance of 10 kilometres. Wait. What? Uhh... Did it have something to do with the atmosphere? "Does the 10 kilometres have something to do where weather takes place? Somewhere up in the atmosphere? The Trophos-something-sphere?" he guessed. Yeah that was totally it. The Trophos-something-something- sphere.

So Mo was feeling a little dense. He'd read up on the chapters about... those two laws, but he hadn't been nearly as fast with an answer as the younger students. The running felt good, though, and maybe he was just enjoying some physical activity and had been completely distracted. Maybe. Or maybe he was so deep in the NEWT dregs that he could barely function in normal classwork.

He wanted to participate, though, so when the professor had them stop running and threw another question their way, Mo was in full show-off mode. "The first 10 km, on average, of the atmosphere is known as the troposphere, Professor. That's where weather generally occurs, because that's where most of the mass and water vapor resides." Or... was that right? Where was his book?
