Located off to the right of the Observatory and behind a large wooden door lies a room made possible by means of a powerful Undetectable Extension Charm. Professor Flamsteed will hold the occasional lesson, present an educational and entertaining show about astronomy and the night sky, or a training session in celestial navigation here, but it is also available to students to use at their own leisure for research or entertainment purposes.
Professor Flamsteed just has a few guidelines for use of the planetarium:
"You're welcome. I'll be here for you." He said with a smile. She knew this, but it felt right to say, anyway. Tag would not physically drag Lottie to Airey's office, just simply nag her about meeting up with him and have this so called conversation. But he'd definitely walk her there, just to be sure she actually would walk into his office. Why was she looking at him like that? "What?"
After midnight. Ok. Gosh, Lottie just knew every answer to every question mini!blondie had over here. "Do you wanna see it one night?" Libra that is. Just a fair question, it was her zodiac. Ok, but no, don't mention the heliocentric model. That'd only bring laughter, embarrassment, disappointment to a teacher and Tag sinking into a tapestry. Never mention that ever again. Anyway, Lottie was now answering Tag's 'season' question. He nodded at her words, definitely not interrupting her at all, because that'd only cause more confusion in him. After she was done Tag took a few moments to repeat what she'd had told him, and then think it through. Yes, admire your boyfriend while he figures this out, Lotus. "I suppose that makes sense." Tag said after a while, perhaps, after thinking it through 3-4 times. And, Lottie had given it to him in its most basic form.
Perhaps Tag had forgotten about it, ok? He only remembers stars. And, he even accidentally pointed to a planet that one time. Cut him some slack, thank you very much. "Planets don't twinkle, ok." He got that down so he gave her a thumbs up. Once again the boy checked the ceiling for anything that wasn't twinkling and fixed. "There?" Tag said unsurely as he pointed his finger at Draco and went somewhat, somewhat, left of it. A very bad 'left'.
Exactly. She knew that. He was always there for her, or has been, so far. No doubting of his words, none. "Likewise." He knew this as well. Then she laughed and shook her head, "Why do I get the feeling that you'll take me to his office and won't leave until I've spoken to him?" She was seriously hoping it wouldn't happen that way, but it would be quite amusing to see Airey's reaction, right?
Mr. Geocentric model.
What? Libra? Lotus actually considered her answer. Should they bring Astrology and Astronomy together? Lol! Just imagine. She thought about it for another minutes or two before finally giving an answer, "It's not a priority or anything, but sure, why not?" She'd make a mental note to catch it in February or March, when it was supposed to be visible for longer. Also, no. NO, TAG. You don't suppose that makes sense. It simply makes sense. It's a scientific fact. "It does." Though, she knew it had been quite a long explanation, the longest she's told him so far, so, it was okay. He did well. And he got a smile because of that.
Okay. She smiled again and nodded in encouragement. He could do it, right? Wrong. The moment she looked up and followed the direction he was pointing at, she shook her head, "More like...," she pointed at both Jupiter and, well, there we go again, was it Uranus or Neptune? She always had issues with Jupiter's companion. Either way, they had TWO planets together. How could he miss that? "...there." It was farther away than the star he thought was a planet. That star was tricky, because it was so faint, but gosh, the two planets together...

Yes, he definitely knew she was there for him. And she had been a couple of times already. Thank you for all the help, girlfriend. Then, there was an eyebrow raise at Lottie's laughter..... ok. "You get the feeling cause you're totally right. I wouldn't drag you there or anything, just drop you off and wait till you're done." He said with a smile. Because it was important and she couldn't skip out on it or not find it a serious deal. It just was.
And Libra, they could keep that in mind, mhm. "Oh, no, its not a priority. Now, a particular star is a major priority." He said with a nod. Imagine not having that particular star? The world would be cold? Cease to exist? Something sciency and astronomy like that. YEAH. "It does make sense." Mostly he was saying that so Lottie wouldn't have to elaborate and probably really confuse him. One had to tread with sweet caution when it came to astronomy for Tag.
Tag watched his girlfriend for a second before returning his gaze to her hand and following it. And he sort of saw it yes. Ok. As long as he focused on her and her direction then Tag figured he could do this with an 'acceptable' in performance of finding things. "There. So, what are we doing with planets, then?" He asked. Lottie simply hadn't asked Tag to come here just so they could point at the 'sky'.

See! Oh, sweet Merlin! She was right! Unsurprisingly, but still right. She shook her head while wearing a smile. Was he going to bring this up every day until she does it? "Okay. Fine, you can do that, but after the holidays, yeah?" Let her think a bit more. And then they could start working on NEWTs and Airey. Sound fair? Pretty fair.
Now that that was taken cared of...
...HAHAHA, what?? Immediately looking at her boyfriend, Lotus laughed, "Don't flatter yourself," she said, sticking her tongue out at him, she was obviously assuming he meant the closest star to Earth, the Sun. Meaning himself. And if he was doing so, "But yes." Then he was right. She'd rather not imagine the world without it, thank you, so let's forget about that. A mere nod went his way, it makes sense, it's a proven fact, so, enough of it, but...
...another smile. He did better than 'acceptable', but Lottie might be a little biased. To Airey it would be worse than 'poor', clearly. Oh? "Nothing, really, there's three of them up there, and Pluto, but it doesn't count as one." She didn't actually have anything planned, she was just gazing at the October sky, and her boyfriend, occasionally. "Why do you ask?" Curious.

Perhaps this would be mentioned every day until she actually did it. Maybe. Who knows. "After the holidays, yes. After, then. So, make sure you soak in all the 'me not bothering you' while you can." Wink. Was it out of line? Probably, but whatever.
More laughter. Always with the laughter. At least this time Tag didn't feel embarrassed getting laughed at. There were varying degrees of Lottie's laughter. "I wasn't talking about me." Wink again. But, "I hear the sun is pretty hot." Lottie probably had a sciency answer to counter that. Ok. If he couldn't mention her blush, he could totally, and had the right, to say something like that. It was only fair. He also thought he was a priority, or the sun, rather so he just smirked at that, no words being said here.
Gosh. NOW LOTTIE was discriminating against Pluto. The universe was a horrible place. "Poor Pluto. He was only trying to fit in, wanted to be a planet just like everyone else. But I guess everyone thought it was too goofy." Pun intended. If Lottie knew what Tag was trying to get at. "Oh, usually when we stargaze we look for, and talk about something in particular." Nod nod. "Stargaze." The fact that Lottie may not have anything planned, besides going back in time, made Tag suspicious. Like he had to do something or find something right on the spot.

Maybe. Who knows. Hopefully not. She'll just distract him if he brought it up again, or bring up his own plans, for a change. "Yes, I will enjoy my 'you not bothering me' time while I can." Even if he wasn't bothering her, not at all. It was all really amusing. The wink was unnecessary, by the way. But he got one, too, as a reply.
ALWAYS with the laughter, yes. RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT, no, Tag Kildare, you were not talking about yourself, you were clearly talking about the real sun. The real deal, yeah-huh. She narrowed her eyes slightly as he said something else, "There are bigger and hotter stars out there. Our sun is quite insignificant if one takes into account the entire universe, which is infinite." Because they were actually discussing the sun, the real deal, yes? YES. Apparently, so.
SHE KNEW IT! OH DEAR MERLIN! And she couldn't be surprised over this, either, because it was so obvious! After everything she's taught him! Lottie was sort of glad Airey was nowhere to be seen right now. "You're one of them!" she said, smiling but shaking her head all the same, "I don't believe it." Actually, she could. Also, no, we do not acknowledge the pun, "Poor Pluto...," she shook her head in disbelief, or pretended to, "...it's a plutoid, not a planet, and definitely not 'poor'." As far as feelings were concerned... she couldn't care less, it just didn't belong with the planets, simple as that. As far as stargazing goes..., "I just wanted to stargaze today, really," she shrugged. Just look at October while they had the chance to.
Him and his puns/jokes XD Lottie did not sign up for that *pets her*

And spot the sneaky Andromeda galaxy as well.
Excellent. And, you know, just to be a nice boyfriend Tag wouldn't actually pester her about it. Much. Mhm. She was responsible enough to do this on her own. "You do that, girlfriend." He said quickly kissing her cheek. Though, would she ever not be bothered, honestly? We know how tough a crowd you are with the funny bones, Wisteria. Very tough. Those jokes probably bothered her to some extent.
Of course, of course, of course. There went Lotus proving Tag that she had a sciency fact as a smart comeback. He will never win in this part. Never. She simply knew much much more than he ever would. Way to be a moral and confidence booster, Miss Wisteria. Jeez, Tag was going back to feeling short and small. He so badly wanted to say something about hotter stars but Lottie would probably go on with a fact. So, he just went the safe route, keeping his own thoughts to himself, "And have I seen one of these hot stars?" Oh. That almost worked.
Did... did Lotus just call Tag goofy? Implied? "Did you just call me a goofy person?" That's what it sounded like. Not that Tag minded. He liked it, actually. All these terms, seriously. "All right. What's a plutoid? Besides it being a rejected Pluto." Tag said. That's all he really got out of the word. Whether it be true or not, his girlfriend would tell him right now. "No problem. I just thought we were gonna do a little extra. Like look for a special constellation or star you'd always been trying to find. Stargazing is nice, peaceful." Tag said giving her a nod. He was very accustomed to this, and having to be quiet. Hence the peaceful.

Heh. That kiss earned him a smile. As far as jokes go... we're not commenting on that. He knew better. Some of them would've been brilliant if the execution hadn't failed him. And just like that she started to wonder why there was a particular one he hadn't used again.
Oh, well.
True. As a future Astrophysicist (probably), she will always know a lot more than he did on this matter. Didn't bother her at all, it made him even more adorable, particularly when he asked questions. Some questions. Like this one. She didn't know if he was joking or not, but she smiled, "Look around you." Basically. All of them up there were so massive and hot that the sun never stood a chance. Did Tag want names? She could list them for him.
No. No. That didn't even cross her mind. "No, I mean, you're one of those who stands beside Pluto. I bet you support the claim for bringing Pluto back as a planet." That claim did not exist, really, the scientific community already made a decision, but it seemed like last term had sparked some controversy over this matter. At Hogwarts, that is. Her posters were still the best ones ever, FYI. "It's not a rejected Pluto, but it's what Pluto is all about, a dwarf planet." Nod, nod, that's what Pluto is.
And, yes, true, they were always looking for something specific, "Nothing in particular this time around, sorry." If it disappointed him somehow. "I could show the galaxy I had trouble finding last time...," because she had been expecting something grand and awesome, and that's not what... wait. "Actually...," she remembered something, "...I could show you that." Which buttons were those?

Jokes were a very serious matter. Honestly. Lottie knew, had seen Tag's booklet. They were just not brought upon correctly. Sigh. Very tough to execute jokes correctly. Unless it was two particular ones. Yes, Lotus, you know which ones.
Questions were simply asked because the boy didn't know anything. And like always for Tag, whenever doing something Lottie was immersed about, he did his best to keep interest in it. And, it was rather hard to keep any type of interest if he knew nothing at all. Hence all the questions. "So, basically, all of these stars are hot?" Tag said smirking, giving her wiggly brows and a wink. Was it necessary to do that? No. But it would be interesting to see her reaction. No need for lists. That could go on forever.
Stand beside Pluto. "When you say 'stand behind pluto' you're meaning that I would be the person who would try to argue that Pluto should still be considered a planet right?" If he even knew enough facts to make that claim, that is. Of course, she had said that, Tag, only with different words. So, she didn't need to answer it. "A dwarf. Hmm. It could totally partner up with the sun and they could be best friends or something." Because, they couldn't be brothers if one was a planet and the other wasn't. Just, it made sense, ok?
What a disappointment. They weren't looking at anything. Sigh. So, Tag just looked at his girlfriend, mhm. Oh, but then her manner seemed to change. So there might be something she wanted to search for. The blonde watched her curiously and then glanced to the control. A sudden urge to poke a button overcame him but he held back. Only stared at the remote. "Why don't you go there with me? To the galaxy, I mean." He said. She seemed intent on doing it.

Yes, we know.
Okay, what? Both her eyebrows went up. Honestly, Tag, what kind of question was that? "All of them are." She replied, with a puzzled look on her face. Unless he was joking or talking about two different stars who were present in this room. And was that what he was talking about? That smirk and his eyebrows... and the wink! What even?! "Are you alright?" Was she missing something? She was, wasn't she? This is what happens when you start messing around with the sun, literally and figuratively.
Behind, beside, whatever. "Yes, that's basically what I mean." He would, wouldn't he? Back up Pluto and stuff? She knew Tobias stood for the same thing, whereas Lottie gets points for being able to let things go. Oh, Merlin. Which sun was he talking about now? "You're confusing me...," no kidding, astronomy can be confusing between them, "...but you're being adorable." So, no harm done. None whatsoever. And he could support Pluto if he wanted to, she'll respect his decision while knowing that she was right.
OKAY. Cue instant blush, because, heh, going to the galaxy with him, right, of course. She was cheating on Flamsteed, you see. Perfect! Then, that's what they're doing! And she was beaming, "Okay, yes. Do you see that... cluster over there?" She pointed at it, very close to Tag so he could follow her hand even better and eventually find it. Cluster, she almost said dot, Merlin. "You can press this button here to see it up close," yes, she was letting him do it, now that she knew which button will, basically, zoom in on Andromeda.

Of course. All stars were hot. Hehe. Ok. Tag would shut up about that now. Mhm. "All stars are hot. Excellent." He said smiling back at her. Also, thanks for that compliment, Lotus, Tag really agreed with you. Was she confused? Her facial expressions seemed to say just that. "Me? I'm dandy. Yes. Why do you ask?" Totally alright.
Exactly. Tag figured that's what she had meant. Apparently he had to elaborate for himself. Weirdo. Ooops. Yes. Now the girlfriend actually mentioned her being confused. Good going unicorn. Though he was being adorable. The adorable should outweigh the her being confused. "Well, as long as my adorableness distracts you from being confused then everything should be all right." Tag logic. Was it so bad he started to laugh? Sorry, sorry.
The redness was barely seen. Again, no pointing out of that, just to spare the girlfriend embarrassment. Now, time to follow her hand again. Cluster. He squinted his eyes in hopes of seeing it better, and hoped, hoped so much that he was looking at this cluster. Cluster of what, exactly? Rang in his head. Explanations will come soon, yes? He nodded very slowly at her. "All right! Awesome! Thanks!" Look how much trust she had in him. Letting him touch the control, we'll see how this turns out.
The boy made it very dramatic and slowly pressed his finger onto the button his girlfriend had showed him. He wanted to press it repeatedly, just to see what would happen, but again he refrained. Just that one time. And, ok. Wow. They just zoomed in. All right. Cluster looking here we go. "What galaxy is this?"
Of course. All stars were hot. Hehe. Ok. Tag would shut up about that now. Mhm. "All stars are hot. Excellent." He said smiling back at her.

Though he was being adorable. The adorable should outweigh the her being confused. "Well, as long as my adorableness distracts you from being confused then everything should be all right." Tag logic. Was it so bad he started to laugh? Sorry, sorry.
The redness was barely seen. Again, no pointing out of that, just to spare the girlfriend embarrassment. Now, time to follow her hand again. Cluster. He squinted his eyes in hopes of seeing it better, and hoped, hoped so much that he was looking at this cluster. Cluster of what, exactly? Rang in his head. Explanations will come soon, yes? He nodded very slowly at her. "All right! Awesome! Thanks!" Look how much trust she had in him. Letting him touch the control, we'll see how this turns out.
The boy made it very dramatic and slowly pressed his finger onto the button his girlfriend had showed him. He wanted to press it repeatedly, just to see what would happen, but again he refrained. Just that one time. And, ok. Wow. They just zoomed in. All right. Cluster looking here we go. "What galaxy is this?"
Wait! Look what he did! So, Lotus smiled and shook her head, "I'm talking about all the stars, except our sun." Juuuuust in case. After all, the sun was an exception. Honestly, maybe that's why he was winking and whatnot a few moments ago. Did he trick her into saying that? Tag Kildare, you only have so many seconds to live. So, she shook her, "No reason." Really, no reason. She'd been curious before, that was all.
Oh, it distracts her, alright. But he had a point, actually, and it was all good with her. He was adorable quite often, he should keep that up. Lottie did laugh, though, "Yes, exactly, everything is all right." No need to worry over anything.
We're not gonna lie here. She was watching his every move and making sure he didn't touch anything he wasn't supposed to in the process of pressing a single button. Just being careful with the equipment over here, really. Airey would be pleased. You know who else was pleased? Lotus. Lookit! Tag actually managed to zoom in on the galaxy, with Lottie's direction, but still, and now the entire projection was of Andromeda. Our sister galaxy.
Should she take his hand so he wouldn't press it again? Let's not. He is of age, he can control himself.
"Andromeda galaxy." Lottie's first astronomical disappointment. HAHA. "It's supposed to collide with us, you know? I bet it's going to be quite a fascinating event." Not to mention the destruction of everything we know. It's almost like a restart somehow. But it'd be lovely.

Goodness. Lottie was difficult to win over today, wasn't she? Really putting Tag up for a fight. Poor guy. He was only trying and she was shooting him down. No comments. "All stars but the sun. Got it." Really, he even saluted. His part of the tricky conversation would be stopped... now."There's always a reason. Always." Tag just felt like saying something like that. There might actually be no reason. Who knew? Lottie knew, that's the answer.
Excellent. Everything was all right. So, Lotus simply got a smile and a nod.
It was Tag's direction. He pressed the button, therefore he sent them into the galaxy. Not Lotus. Then Lotus... haha. Did she know she set herself up? "Is it.... far far away?" It was good that Tag actually didn't know, or else his joke would've been executed terribly. Something he was working on. He shook his head at the 'supposed to collide with us' bit. Being honest here. "Right, collisions are fascinating?" Tag said slightly confused. Obviously Lottie thought the collision would be awesome while Tag found it more dangerous. Almost like their personalities were reversed right now. Heh.
Helloooooo darlings! Hope you don't mind our company!
Goodness Gracious Heavens Above!
Taking the advice of others, for even in death Marion prided herself on being a reeeeeeeeasonable woman, she resolved that she was going to make an effort and get to know the living instead of wallowing in self pity over her untimely demise. It was unflattering of someone so prim and proper as herself.
Gliding with purpose through the Astronomy Tower, the ghost passed through the wall and entered the planetarium and was ever so pleased to see two students holding what appeared to be an impromptu Astronomy lesson.
"Oh goooooooodness gracious HEAVENS ABOVE! Isn't this siiiiiiiiiiiiimply the most delightful sight," she raved as she floated closer to them. "OoooooooOooooooooOOH! The Andromeda Galaxy! Oh why it is siiiiiiiiiimply one of my ABSOLUTE FAAAAAAVORITE spiral galaxy!"

Awwwww, it wasn't really like that. This is why astronomy was so tricky for them. But like, Lottie couldn't take anything back, and he sort of deserved this for being super confident about this. Be humble, sun. So, she kissed his cheek, just because. And now other comment was made. Okay, fine, "Well, you were winking a lot," so she was slightly suspicious of the whole thing. Can you blame her?
It was Lotus', because she told him to. Far away? OMG! In a galaxy far far away... wasn't that Star Wars?? Lotus laughed and shook her head, but decided not to comment on that, she went with facts instead, "A couple million light years away, actually." TRUE. It was over 2 million light years away from them. And yet their galaxies are legit on the course for a magnificent collision that will probably unite them. Who knows? "This one will be."BEAM. Astronomy was just fascinating.

Oh goodness gracious WHAT EVEN??! For a moment there, Lottie took Tag's hand because she did NOT expect a visitor to come out of nowhere like that. You know, for safety. Guess she can't really hear ghosts, then. Finally something Lotus Acacia Wisteria cannot hear coming. But it was her, so it was all wonderful.
She even smiled, especially at her words. "Is it really your favorite, Prof--Mrs--," oh, dear, "Professor Burbage?" Why not? She clearly didn't know what to call the woman--ghost, WELL, THEN.
Of course, there was no need to hold her boyfriend's hand, so she'd let that go as soon as she realized who their visitor was.
"I like barred spirals better when it comes to galaxies, like the Sculptor one. Find them more visually, and formally, intriguing." As someone who enjoys drawing and illustration, this was rather obvious. Like, Eta Carinae LOOKS awesome, but she knows what's happening with it, so, no comments.
Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy!
The sun was humble. To some extent. No, it was very humble. And the winking comment. "I know I was winking a lot. I hope you enjoyed it." He said. There was no reason to add on more into the winking part of the conversation, so that should be that? Yes. Good. Ok.
The blonde hoped that that laughter indicated that Lotus knew what Tag had said, a star wars quote indeed. And if she didn't, we may be disappointed. Stars Wars sorta had connections to astronomy? Let's just say yes. "Only a couple million light years away. Only." Did she see what Tag was getting at here? "Sooooo what's a light year to a normal earth year?" These were the things he needed to know. Obviously, he had never bothered much to check his textbooks when he had taken astronomy. "Fascinating. Excellent."
0________________0
What was that noise? Slightly shrilly and upbeat it scared Tag. Gave him goosebumps and he had to quickly move in his seat to find where that voice was coming from.
It was a ghost. Mentioning favorites. Oh, lord, would Lottie try to avoid a 'favorite' conversation?
We felt the fingers on his hand, yes we did, Lotus. Psh. Lotus scared of a ghost? A harmless ghost. But, it seemed Lottie knew the ghosts name and then, let go of him. Haha. Not for long, Tag held onto her hand again. Also, the hufflepuff seemed to have trouble addressing the ghost.
"Whut?" Tag said completely confused by both Lottie's and the ghosts words. Burbage apparently.
Spiral galaxy. Barred spirals. Sculptors.
What were they talking about? Tag just watched their interactions and said nothing at all.
Hooting quite like an owl with delight at the young woman's answer, Marion beamed at her and nodded so much it was a wonder her ghostly head did not roll right off her shoulders. Although that was surely a privilege left to Sir Nicholas. Sort of. Marion did take pity on the poor fellow for never being able to join the Headless Hunt. Such conviction he had, applying over and over like that.
"Oooooooooooh how siiiiiimply LOVELY!" she exclaimed. "The Sculptor Galaxy IS a beautiful sight to behold."
What was this little darling's name again? Marion tried to search her memory but was having a hard time recalling at the moment. OH WAIT! THERE IT WAS! Oh yes. That studmuffin of an Astronomy professor had often raved about her when they had had their evening teas. Well, when he had his tea and she floated there beside him listening.
"You have subliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime taste, Miss Wisteria. Siiiiiiiimply sublime! But no need to call me professor. You already have a fine one. Mrs. Burbage will do just fine."
Oh dear. It seemed her quite sudden entrance had startled the Gryffindor boy. "Oh my goodness gracious HEAVENS above. Do forgive me dear. I did not mean to startle you," she cooed as the patted him, or attempted rather, on his head. "A proper studmuffin like yourself shouldn't fall victim to surprise so easily, though."
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuurely she wasn't THAT frightening! Why, if he were to have the Bloody Baron sneak up on him he would leak in his trousers!
But then it hit her.
"OH...OOOOOOOOH! You are wondering what sort of siiiiiiiiiiiimply divine talk your friend and myself are having. Mr....Kildare, was it?" She briefly recalled him in her lessons during her brief time as a professor. "Galaxy is an umbrella term, like pasta. There isn't just ONE variety of pasta. You have spaghetti and penne and capellini and macaroni. Similarly, you have a variety of galaxies. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH but look at me babbling on like I just had a goblet of Babbling Beverage!"
The sun was humble. To some extent. No, it was very humble. And the winking comment. "I know I was winking a lot. I hope you enjoyed it." He said. There was no reason to add on more into the winking part of the conversation, so that should be that? Yes. Good. Ok.

Actually, at the time, she had thought it was entirely and completely suspicious, so she didn't exactly enjoy the winks because she was mostly wondering what they'd meant. But she merely smiled at his words and dropped the topic.
There are just so many different kinds of winks, Kildare.
Star Trek was better, but yes, she got the reference, for once. Only a couple billion light years away. ONLY! "There are others farther away...," how scary was that??? Not so much, if one considered infinity, and she often did. Then that question happened and she shook her head, "It's unrelated. A light year is a measure of distance. A year is a measure of time. It cannot be compared, unless you want to know how long it'll take you to reach said galaxy." She would explain the mathematics to it all, but that would be too much for him, would it? It wasn't too complicated, but she'd said that about many things that turned out to be difficult to understand.
And Burbage! Lottie was suddenly so excited! "It is! Incredible, really." They should look for it, the projector should be able to show it, right? Right?! Then she was beaming when she mentioned her taste and her eyes flickered briefly to her boyfriend. Yes, Burbage, we agree with you. "I do, Mrs. Burbage." Just being honest here, you know? Always honest.
LOL! Oh, Merlin! Well, she didn't know whether that could be a full compliment because she remembered, from that one class with Burbage, that she spoke of all scientists and old people as studmuffins, so, really, Lottie wasn't sure what to think of it. Since Tag was oh-so-incredibly-young compared to those Burbage had known, then... it was probably a good thing. She almost winked at him, but refrained to do so because... well, a ghost was present in the room.
Girlfriend, Burbage. Girlfriend. Not friend, no, girlfriend. There's a difference. A difference she didn't care to explain because it wasn't her business, quite frankly, and they are friends too, so, it was okay. Both her eyebrows went up when the woman-ghost started to explain this in... pasta terms. Oooookay. Let's not confuse her boyfriend, yeah?
Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy!
So Lotus sorta explained what a light year was. Which was ok for Tag. She didn't need to go to further details or risk having Tag confused forever. "You don't have to explain it to me but I'm assuming it'd take a really really really really really really really long time to reach Adromedea galaxy." Like reaaaaaaaalllllllyyyyyy long.
What is a sculptor galaxy, seriously!? Ugh.
This Burbage, as Lottie had put her, was really quite the loud talker, or at least, she seemed to be rather girly? Whatever it was, Tag was not very accustomed to the way she was talking. Must be because the starry sky was actually up, and she seemed to enjoy it. Did she always talk like this? Errr, was she trying to pat his head? Tag simply felt a shiver go down his spin, that was weird. "Oh, no. Studmuffins should definitely not fall to being scared in surprise." Tag said, slightly agreeing with her. Hear that Lottie? Studmuffin Tag.
Girlfriend. Tag said nothing though. It was private matters and Tag highly doubted Burbage here wanted to know the couple facts of Hogwarts at the moment. "Yes, Mr. Kildare." He said, giving her a nod and smile. Tag never remembered knowing her or 'bumping' into her ever so that surprised him.
0_______0
See Lottie. This is how you get through to Tag. You put it into terms he would understand. Now, pasta was delicious. Mmmm. Tag wanted some macaroni. Anyway, that wasn't the important thing right now. Somehow he understood it.
"So Andromeda galaxy, the one my friend and I are looking at, is the macaroni, yes? Galaxy is just the general, largely used term." Yes? Yes. It had to be. If he was right Burbage had gotten through to Tag fairly easily.
Oh my Marion was siiiiiiiiiiimply BEAMING at the young Hufflepuff. It was such a pleasure knowing that there were still such outstanding students in her former house. OH HOW LOOOOOVELY! If only she were still alive to have tea with students she would have loved to have had the Hufflepuff over to her office. Pity. Really. Such a teeeeeeeeeerribly pity.
"How ARE Professor Flamsteed's lessons?" she asked, naturally curious about her former student. "Oh I remember fondly of when I first met him. He was still in university and I was giving a guest lecture. Ooooooh he quuuuuite the studmuffin himself hoho hoooooo. Must say that he is even more so now. You know, some people are just like a fine set of flannel sheets. They get better with age! Oooooooh if only I had been so fortunate!"
Her attention turned to the young man and she BEAMED some more.
"PRECISELY! Although if we want to be just a bit more specific, which I believe we siiiiiiiiiiimply must do, perhaps it is more like a rotini than a macaroni. Just to help keep that spiral image in your mind. Does that make sense, my dear?"
Oh the wonder that was a young mind! Look at the way new doors were opening! Oh how siiiiiiiiiiiiimply marvelous!
Yes, Tag, exactly! It would take a VERY, very long time to reach the galaxy, and then what would you reach once you're there? Will you go to a planet of sorts? It'll take you a bit more time. Either way, she was glad she didn't have to turn to pasta to try and make him understand this. See, she knew he had it in him to comprehend astronomy, it just took him a bit longer than it took her. She was patient enough, so it was all good.
So he got a nod and a smile as a confirmation on that.
Also, yes, Tag, we heard the Studmuffin comment. Loud and clear. The sixth year shook her head while still holding a smile as Tag replied to Burbage. No, he hadn't been scared, just probably caught off guard.
Oh, that question! That was an excellent one, indeed! "Oh, they're fascinating! And he does a marvelous job. Quite entertaining lessons as well, which is good for those who aren't too interested in science." There's a 99.9% chance that Airey's lessons got her particularly interested in astrophysics, really. Making that star was the beginning of something wonderful. WAIT WAIT! So, he was technically a student of Burbage, sort of, and this would've been super amusing had it not been for the fact that Marion mentioned 'studmuffin' while referring to her Astronomy professor and Lottie couldn't help but remember certain words she'd uttered to Ella Bishop a couple years ago. Instant blush. Well... "Yes, of course, some people do." Well, she had to say something, right?
Right. And she was oh-so-thankful that her blush probably wouldn't be too noticeable since, you know, planetarium and all.
NO. No talk of pasta as galaxies, no. She will never make a connection between any sort of food and the stars. Though maybe she already has and failed to noticed. Maybe while making some metaphorical comparison, but not to give a proper explanation.
Good to know it took him literally NO TIME to grasp the concept, though. AND it's girlfriend, not friend, Kildare.
Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy!
Tag listened quietly to the two ladies conversing. He had nothing to add onto the conversation so he sorta just glanced around the Planetarium, bored. Also, girlfriend, just because the classes might be 'interesting' doesn't mean it would make those non-science interested students more into science. Just saying. Prime example over here.
"Well, this sounds like a conversation for the two of you to talk about." Tag simply said, looking at both Lottie and Burbage.
Nope. Did she just call Flamsteed a Studmuffin? Nope. Tag did not want to be associated with that. "Basically, he had to get older to get 'good looking'?" The blonde said with air quotes. So not sorry for them. And SHUDDER. Did Lottie just agree to Airey, of all people, being that? SHUDDER. SHUDDER. "It can only go downhill from here." So that's it. 'Studmuffin Airey' was already old and getting older. Did anyone else remember how terribly Airey aged last year? Not a good look for him. Airey should 'live up' to what this so called Studmuffin he was.
Why did it have to be rotini? Is that because Spiral galaxies looked like? "Sure, I suppose?" Tag said looking at Lottie. Whenever he got confused she found a way for him to understand. Cause she put it in the simplest of terms. C'mon, girlfriend. Explain why the spiral galaxy was now rotini and not macaroni.
He didn't appear to have it on his person, but in fact Cutty Mordaunt had lugged extension charmed bag inside of his extension charmed bag as if they were Russian nesting dolls. One of such bags was filled with a colourful fur painstakingly clipped from Professor Thompson's playpen. Rhoda, Rhoda, Rhoda. O__O
Not surprised, but nonetheless impressed by Professor Flamsteeds skill with the extension charm, Cutty surveyed the Observatory. He'd never been in it before and it seemed he had it all to himself whilst he waited for the Astronut.

To anyone passing by it was as though the lanky astronomer were just on his usual rounds about the Astronomy Tower, making sure it was as clean and lint free as possible. But to those in the know, which was only him and Mr. Mordaunt, today's agenda was an entirely different matter.
Nonchalantly stepping into the planetarium, removing a lint roller from his enchanted breast pocket and rolling it over the door frame to his right to tidy up some stray debris, he made his way down the aisle towards the young man with an eager boyish grin tugging at the corners of his lips.
"Good day, Mr. Mordaunt, fancy meeting you here." Wink wink, nudge nudge.

"Oh, Professor Flamsteed. Didn't think I'd be seeing you up here at this time." He said in a light tone which suggested complete surprise and even had mild hints of delight thrown in. You know, for just that extra bit of oomph...or whatever.
The young snake still had no idea what the Astronut was going to do with all that colourful fur, but judging by his eagerness to get it, Cutty had every fiber of his being telling him that it would soon be made into a psychedelic fashion statement of one kind or another. A coat, perhaps. A coat to woo the board. Maybe even a mate? And, maybe just maybe there was a dance involved. Airey Flamsteed had to be part cassowary...cassowary AT LEAST.
It was impolite to dehumanize one's teachers and so Cutty said nothing, but he did offer his Astronomy Professor the ever present sweetie. "Chocolate frog, Professor?" He nudged his head toward the door as if indicating they ought be shut before their real business got underway.

Airey simply chuckled and pondered sitting down in one of the comfortable seats of the planetarium, but instead picked up some of the equipment and began inspecting it for any dust it may have accumulated since last he was here. Oh, look at that...finger prints on the touch pad. Best clean that up.
Rummaging through his enchanted breast pocket for the container of wipes, he glanced at Mr. Mordaunt and grinned at the chocolate frog offer. "If you are sharing, then I am more than willing to eat," he nodded, not yet extending his hand like some eager 5-year-old or anything. He was an eager child on Christmas morning about something else. "Got anything else for me, Mr. Mordaunt?"
Oh yes, oooooooooh so casual.
