Astronomy Lesson 2 :: food in space.............sort of
The small table with the lint roller and sign informing you that it is not to be used on your hair has been moved from outside of the Astronomy classroom to outside of the Astrophysics Laboratory. The use of it, or rolling eyes at it, should be second nature by now...but as you step inside the laboratory and grab your lab coat with your NASA name tag on it from the hanger to the right of the door...you may find yourself wondering if you are in the correct location.
But that is not all that is a bit strange. In the front of the laboratory, where the professor's desk usually is, are several large wooden stands filled with all sorts of produce and meats. There are mouthwatering fruits, tantalizing vegetables, and succulent looking raw meats and seafood just waiting to be eaten. Not to worry, there are charms in place to ensure that nothing spoils! However, the blackboard to the left of the stands states very clearly DO NOT TOUCH OR EAT ANYTHING - which must surely upset your grumbling tummy.
Perhaps the strangest of all is the fact that Professor Flamsteed is no where to be seen. Hmm...guess you better find a seat and wait for class to start then?
⌦Lesson Progression
▸ question 1 :: Why is February 20, 1947 a significant date?
▸ question 2 :: Why was the first space food put in toothpaste tube-like containers?
▸ mini activity :: er...faith, trust, and pixie dust? o.o Time to "fly" and have a bite to eat.
▸ activity :: purée food war!
▸ activity :: UPDATE! 24 hour warning...approximately

She grinned at Ian when she turned and saw it was him tapping her on the shoulder. "Of course!" She moved her bag to the floor and gestured to the seat beside her. Jasmine wouldn't mind, right?
Ian smiled sheepishly as he took the seat offered him. He had no sooner taken his seat than an awful, no good, terrible screech assaulted his eardrums. It was as if someone had tried to grate rocks with piece of metal. Ian looked up, covering his ears as Professor Flamsteed? came into class dressed for Halloween. Then he began to scrape the hook he had placed on his hand and scratched up all the tabletops. It was even worse when speaking started occurring. What in Merlin's long grey beard was going on with the professor. He wanted them to call them Captain? This would be interesting. And then the scary captain tried to frighten a child with an apple. Shameful, horrid behavior. Then he'd talked about bad form, very similar to Captain Hook from the Peter Pan tale. Very interesting. Ian had an idea. He was about to put it into action when the boy with the apple mentioned street rats and then another asking about Wendy and the boys. So much crazy...so much confusion. Why not add to it?
Ian took a deep breath, stood first on the chair and then stepped onto the table. He looked down and apologized to Norah and Jasmine. Sorry. I hope this calms the guy down. He seems like he really wants to do this. Ian looked at the professor, and with as loud a voice as he could muster, Ian began to recite a portion of the poem his father had required him to memorize for his grandfather's funeral. Ian hoped it would placate the crazy teacher.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning! O Captain! My Captain!
Ian decided he should also answer the question. Sir, fruit flies were blasted into space by the US Space program. With that, he sat back down to try and absorb what had happened. Again, he apologized to Norah and Jasmine.

O______O Just when you thought things couldn't get any weirder......... Professor Flamsteed thought he was Captain Hook? As if that wasn't bad enough, other students jumped into the "scene", including Aladdin. Jasmine was starting to believe that she was the crazy one. If everyone had turned into a Disney character and she was still herself........must be her, right?
Jasmine couldn't even concentrate on the question Captain Hook had asked. She was too caught up in the situation unfolding in the classroom. Was there something in the pumpkin juice? Jasmine would have to be very careful from now on. Was it too much to ask that they have one normal year at Hogwarts? Apparently so.

Erm. WHAT? WHY int he world was there a pirate taking the class? No...why was Flamsteed DRESSED like a pirate? Captain Hook to be exact. Adi stared. Call him Captain? O_O
And that kid brandishing the wand...did he really think he was Peter Pan? Adi staaaaaaared some more at the happenings. The people of Hogwarts were going mad It seemed most of them were too taken aback by the happenings to pay attention to Captain Flamsteed's question. That or they didn't know the answer. Adi stayed quiet for the latter reason.
...Oh, Merlin. Maleficent, Captain Hook, Peter Pan, Aladdin. Had they... brought the characters from Disney World back with them from their trip over the summer? What if THEY had caused this, her and Tobes? What if they'd picked up some sort of curse while they were there?!
Even though her eyes had slightly bulged, Sophie tried to seem totally calm and cool as she wrote on her notes in the upper corner so Tobes could see, Did Disney World follow us? She very nonchalantly nudged his side to get his attention and let her hand slide over the writing like she was brushing her paper of dust or something, but she was really just showing him what she had written.
Could that... even be possible?
At the nudge, Toby seemed to suddenly come to his senses (which was more than could be said for... those three) and slammed his mouth shut. He looked around to see Soph, and then at her parchment, and.............
............... uhhhhhhhhhhh.
Being perhaps a little less discreet than Soph was, though did it REALLY matter with all that kerfuffle going on, Toby scribbled a message back: I dunno. That's a muggle place, and you've not been waltzing around as Cinderella or anything.
Of course, Toby had been being Prince Charming, but he was always Prince Charming, so that was slightly different. And... not a joke he would be making out loud just yet.

Mitchell was busy staring at the Bunsen burner. They were lighting things on fire today, right? That's why these things were here? They were going to burn things and then look at them up close.
Then the Professor walked in... looking like he just walked out of a bad play. What was he supposed to be? Captain Hook?
He tilted his head to the side. "The 1940's are a little after your time, aren't they Cap'?" he asked. He was pretty sure it was written in 1900 something or other.
He glanced down at the food again. Did the Professor try some of it beforehand? Because if so, he was not interested.

Marigold had to double check the date because she was PRETTY SURE Halloween had been a looooooong time ago. So, okay, Flamsteed had just decided to dress up like Captain Hook some months afterwards... okay. Fine. Not too out of the ordinary. But there was some kid quoting Aladdin, one of her favorite childhood movies, and she was pretty sure that Slytherin was pretending to be Peter Pan.
...but like... what if they weren't actually pretending? There were surely some enchantments they could be under, and that tied into Malexifent. She bit her lip and glanced across the room to see the normal people, then timidly raised her hand. If Flamsteed really believed that he was Captain Hook, a meany-poo villain, she didn't want to be on his bad side.
"Er... wasn't that... something to do with... the moon or something?" She actually had no idea, and shrank away from the Captain/professor dude.

Dec's head jolted up at the horrible, horrible scraping noise coming from the doorway. WHAT IN MERLIN'S NAME?!! He turned his head to scowl at whatever was making that foul sound. What he found instead was Prof. Space Rocks all in this pirate get-up. Was he surprised? Nope. Not one bit. "Halloween isn't for another year, Prof." The boy grumbled, pulling the lab coat he had gotten at the door over his head and set his head back on the desk.
He then heard the commotion outside his lab coat sanctuary and just merely tried squeeze his eyes shut and ignore it. However, that failed when he recognized the voice of the new French kid, without his French accent. Either that kid was a spectacular actor or...who knows what. Dec lowered the coat just enough to peek out of it and look at the strange scene.
........ Yes. Yes she was. She had questions. And a lot of them. Most of them revolving around the sudden dress up amongst the students and... well, professors too it seemed. Was there some sort of secret drama club thing going on? Drama club prank, maybe? Was there a drama club at all??????
CB stroked her chin with the fluffy pink feather of her quill and looked on the unfolding scene curiously. She'd figured she'd only been here a year. She easily could've missed signups. Or maybe there were no signups. It could've been a secret drama club. Like invite only sort of thing. Not that she wanted to join or anything. Performing in front of people? Kinda freaked her out........
At the pirate professor's question though, she kept her mouth shut. He...... kinda made her nervous.
And no, she didn't want to eat the food either.

Hopefully there wouldn't be too much book stuff to do.
"Hey." She whispered, giving him a little nudge and a smile.
And no, she hadn't de-linted, but she also didn't need to since she wasn't the sort to roll around on the floor.
Oh HEY. It was Ruby! Grayson smiled back at her and gave her a "Heeeeeey!" as she sat down riiiiiiight next to him. Brilliant. He wasn't gonna be able to concentrate in this class even if he tried. But did he have any complaints? LOL, n--
WHAT.
IN THE.
FREAKING.
NAME OF MERLIN?!
Was that FLAMMY-O dressed up as a pirate? FLAMSTEED?! The man who jumped on desks and was pretty much a circus act of his own was now sinking his hook into people's desks and telling them that they'll need to walk the plank later. Just WHAT?! Did he really keep a plank in his office? The Astronomy Tower WAS high enough. Just saying.
Oh jeez. Oh MAN. First there was Hook and now there was this kid who was pointing his wand at Flamsteed!Hook and asking him where his Lost Boys were. What the kid did in his spare time was his own business but really, where exactly had he gotten LOST BOYS from? Were they really lost? And who was this Wendy, eh?
Questions. Dude had too many of them. Like why that girl over there wanted an AXE of all things. And where Gregoire's accent had gone. Come on, dude, French it up!
ANYWAYS. Was he gonna answer the question? No. Grayson didn't know and frankly, if he did, he'd still find himself incapable of answering because of the drama going on. Instead, he was just going to sit back and enjoy this little shenanigan going on here. Keep it up! Dude was VERY entertained, especially with David's comment. LOLOLOL.
....Why was Professor Flamsteed being all crazy? The second the head girl started acting like a normal person again everyone else started going mad instead? She glanced at Jasmine and Ian. They weren't going to go all crazy, right? Suddenly, Ian was reciting some poem. Uhmmm, maybe he was losing it too. She eyed him wearily, wondering if he would turn into some kind of fairytale character like all the other. The second year sent another apprehensive look in "Captain Hook"'s direction and felt a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips. Maybeeee she could turn into Peter Pan and never grow up! Wait. That other kid thought he was Peter Pan. WHAT even WAS this school? At least it wasn't cold. And anyways, then she'd never be tall. Sigh. Her stomach gave another rumble. Couldn't it SEE there were more important things going on? Hush, stomach.
Raising her hand in the air, Norah chanced a random guess. "Uhh, was it the date of some revolution?" 1947 was AGES ago. How was she supposed to know, Mr. Pirate man? Hmmm?
At the nudge, Toby seemed to suddenly come to his senses (which was more than could be said for... those three) and slammed his mouth shut. He looked around to see Soph, and then at her parchment, and.............
............... uhhhhhhhhhhh.
Being perhaps a little less discreet than Soph was, though did it REALLY matter with all that kerfuffle going on, Toby scribbled a message back: I dunno. That's a muggle place, and you've not been waltzing around as Cinderella or anything.
Of course, Toby had been being Prince Charming, but he was always Prince Charming, so that was slightly different. And... not a joke he would be making out loud just yet.
Soph smiled broadly at his writing, despite trying to blend in with everyone else well, and scribbled hurriedly underneath his writing, I would make a cute Cinderella, though. You've seen the pictures. Hehe. She had been an adorable little kid, hadn't she?
Too bad she'd grown out of that cuteness, huh?
After letting him read and grinning cheekily at him, she wrote some more, alternating between glancing at the parchment and around at everyone's antics so she didn't seem entirely tuned out of the lesson's going-ons, If I do start waltzing around as Cinderella, will you be my Prince Charming? WIGGLY EYEBROWS. No, that wasn't what she had really wanted to say either, so she pressed on and added one last line to it, Do you think Flamsteed's actually in there somewhere? THAT was a big concern. If... some weird thing was happening and they WEREN'T all just acting and they DID really think they were these Disney characters... then... well... when would they get their Flamsteed back? Lex was back to normal, it seemed, after dressing in all that weird garb and claiming to be Maleficent, so... it was only a matter of time, right? He'd go back to normal? And all these other kids, too, right?
...Hopefully sooner rather than later, yeah?
Merlin. She needed to tell the Headmistress what they'd done.
As Kace was waiting for class to start, he heard some tapping. He looked up and noticed the Professor was a pirate! That was pretty cool. He nodded and couldn't help but chuckle. I mean it was halloween so why not dress up. He even liked the accent he had from imitating being a pirate. He even like the first year slytherin's remark about Wendy and the Lost Boys. He wondered where they are. And where was the crocodile? All excellent questions. He heard the question he asked the class.
Kace raised his hand and said, "Professor is it something to do with pirates?" It was a wild guess right? Let's see if he is right.

Smiling at Jasmine, Lux was about to reply when --

Why was Professor Flamsteed dressed like a pirate? Confused, she stared at him while trying tofigure out what was going on. Hook? As in... Captain Hook from Peter Pan? She had read the book and seen the movie, so the more she listened the more she felt convinced she was correct in her guess. But why was he pretending to be a pirate from a muggle fairy tale? This was strange even for him.
More cofused than ever, she raised her hand to answer the question. "Is it related to pirates?" Though what pirates had to do with Astronomy was beyond her.

He... wasn't quite sure what was up with this whole 'Captain' business or why so many other kids were acting weird like Lex had been a while ago, but Dima didn't question it. People at Hogwarts always acted this quirky, right? It wasn't surprising, and paired with his lack of ability to pay attention, his slightly dimwitted head concluded that everything was A-OK.
"I dunno what happened in 1947, but this 20th of February, my baby sisters Bryana and Aubrey will be four years and five months old!" Because that was clearly a constructive answer. "So I guess you could say they were -133 years and 7 months old back then. Uh... sir Captain sir."
And Dima tossed a salute at the end of that just 'cause he could play TOO.

CHILDREN?! Both eyebrows were raised rather high as soon as Airey spoke. Actually, what on Earth was he wearing?! She much preferred suits. Always. Something to keep in mind for the future, FYI.
And then Dante...
...Wendy and the Lost Boys?
Oh, no. Not this again. Mentally, she started to count the days until the winter holidays. They couldn't come sooner. She had thought Dante was the good kid, not one who would go along with whatever Airey thought could be amusing. Like stupid space puns from Nigel.
Also, she wondered if Airey had already written that recommendation letter... if not, then she was in trouble. Now you see why she wanted that letter ASAP. Anything can happen at Hogwarts. Including Professors pretending to be some character from some movie. Peter Pan to be more precise. The hook was a bit unnecessary, he could harm someone for real. You know how Gryffindors are.
Whispering. "Oddly enough, I don't think that's what happened." She told Lex. If someone had slipped something on his drink, then they probably slipped something on Dante's too. That would explain things, because Dante was the smart one between both Barrington boys.
Lotus Acacia Wisteria completely forgot to answer the question, momentarily worrying about that recommendation letter.
Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when
Samantha struggled to remember any astronomy related facts which certainly wasn't helped by the assortment of fairytale characters making their presence known. Finally she raised her hand. "Captain, on February 20th 1947 fruit flies were sent up in space on a US launched V2 rocket from New Mexico. They were the first animals in space."
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
Kevin rolled his eyes ,she was right. She could look at whoever and whatever she wanted. But Kevin didn't like it when people looked at him. At least not when he wasn't doing anything. But when she snapped at Zander he had drawn his wand and pointed it at her. He recognised that tone in her voice and it wasn't friendly. Of course he wouldn't have cared if it was someone else but she happened to be rude to his only friend so of course he was like that. That was until he saw the look that Zander gave him and the Professor entering the room that he sighed. "You're lucky" he said to Agatha and pocketed his wand back.
.....WHAT was the Professor WEARING?!
Kevin stared at the whole costume and he wasn't the only one. Was this the same man who had barked at himin his office? What? Kevin nudged Zander's arm and snickered. The hook as a hand was really cool though. "he talked like that in the common room as well some time ago, talk about being weird right?" he s to the older Gryffindor and laughed. Wait..waaait what had the question been again? Mweh whatever. Instead of answering whatever the question had been, Kevin opened one of the bags in front of him and began to eat.
Oh! HE had a question though. "Did you hit your head somewhere, Cap?!" heh. And WHAT was up with the first year kid, Dante....bunch of weirdos were at this school...

[color=#7f11e7]Captain Hook??? Whatever was happening here was not just acting. Something was going on here. Lex might know something about this, as she seemed to be the first person to be possessed by a fairy tale character. Talking to Lex would be necessary to find out what was going on with everyone. The fairy tale characters worried Penelope, but she didn't have time to think about that right now. What had she read about that day in 1947? "Fruit flies were sent into space on February 20 1947, Captain." Did they really have to address him as Captain?
Angel smiled back at Benny and whispered. "Me too... me too." Angel was very worried about what was about to happen in this lesson and she wasn't sure she wanted to stay now.
Angel then saw him arrive but he was pretending to be a pirate this was going to go down great. She then suddenly saw not one but two students acting weird as well. "Guy's should we go get the healer?" Angel sighed, seriously someone could get hurt the way this was going.
Angel raised her hand "Fruit flies were sent into space on that date, captain" Angel looked at the man and then realised that he didn't look very much like a captain, did someone mutiny against him one day.

Erm... This WAS the Astro lab. Right? Adi stared at the food stuff on the stands as he stepped into the room after using the lint roller. Professor Airey was deliberately taunting them by not asking them to eat then producing all this delicious looking stuff. Speaking of the Professor, where was he? He was always there to greet his students.
Shrugging, Adi collected his lab coat with his tag and headed off to grab a seat. Oh look. Zeke. He had no idea why, but he decided to go sit with the little guy. "Hello.'' The Puffer sat in the vacant seat next to him after pulling on his lab coat.
His stomach was rumbling, and all he could think about was... FOOD... that was the case until a familiar voice pulled him from his thoughts. "Heeyyyy," he greeted Adi with a grin. Heheeeee. Prefect sitting with him! That meant he was cool right? RIGHT? "Wassup?" Chatting away was easy enough with Professor Airey not yet present, though that too soon came to an end. Kinda.
...
.....
Zeke's eyes widened as he adjusted his seating on his stool. Noise. He heard noise. And then Professor Airey happened, only, it wasn't him at all. PIRATE!!!!........................... CAPTAIN. Yeah, he was off his rocker alright.
....
He wanted to be a pirate. He WAS a pirate - among other things. But all of THIS... was new territory, and he had no idea what to make of it all. And with reference to the date thing that was mentioned, this was Astronomy right? Not History of Magic... surely.
Zeke blinked, and continued to stare, completely AWED by what he was witnessing. Never mind the confrontation from the Slytherin.. what's he say? Lost Boys? Girls? What?
But more importantly, apparently they COULD eat the pack things, and he was STARVING, so... he decided one needed opening. Now. With as much sneakiness as he could muster, he snagged on from beside his burner, and started fiddling with the wrapper.
Agatha stared HARD at Zander's friend as he pulled his wand out and pointed it at her. "What do you THINK you're DOING??" She exclaimed, her face turning red. She wouldn't dare to reach for her own wand now, since that mental Gryffindor already had his pointed at her and he could do something stupid. How dare he do that? The fourth year clenched her fists and kept glaring at him without moving a muscle. The professor entered just in time, though, and she shot that stupid Gryffindor one last glare as he put his wand away and settled down on his stupid seat. She wouldn't forget that, oh, no she wouldn't. You just wait, stupid Gryffindor person. You just wait.
Agatha's brain couldn't decide whether she should keep glaring at Zander's stupid friend or if she should stare at professor Flamsteed acting strange. Once Dante jumped on his desk and began yelling the most pointless things and POITING HIS WAND AT THE PROFESSOR???????????????????? Whoooooa, he was a lot cooler than his dumb brother Nigel. And then another kid was doing the same. A mutiny against professor Flasmteed??? Agatha kind of didn't mind the man, because he was her uncle's friend. Hopefully they wouldn't hurt him that much.
At this point the Slytherin had completely forgotten about that Gryffindor kid being oh so rude to her. She also forgot to answer 'Hook's question, but that was definitely not important now.

Blink. Hogwarts had definitely gone crazy. It was weird enough and now Dante was jumping on his desk to confront Professor Flamsteed, saying he was Peter Pan. But then, the professor had introduced himself as Hook, and all she could do was remember the head girl and her debate with her over how she wasn’t Red Riding Hood. And how Maleficent wasn’t real, but then the head girl wasn’t crazy anymore. Just a group of her housemates acting crazy. And the professor. The things Dot had said had gained a glance from her. So apparently she thought she was Red Riding Hood now. At least someone was, not that she cared. Fairy tale people weren’t real! People needed to realize that before whatever it was got to her and she went bonkers too. All she had left was to hope she’d get a choice. There were some kinds of cool storybook people after all, like in Game of Thrones.
Oh, and she’d had no idea the significance of the date asked about. Or why anyone would send fruit flies into space as others had said. It wasn’t like fruit flies could talk, so nobody would’ve learned anything from that trip.

Cringing at the noise of the 'Captains' hook against the desks the Snake slipped down in her seat a little. Twisting around sideways to get a better look at the Professor whom was apparently dressed up as the part of... Captain Hook. Seriously this could not be right.
What was going on with everyone? There was a boy on a desk and another behaving like Aladdin. Talk of lost boys and such. Something was seriously wrong with everyone.
Did she know the answer to the question. Nope she didn't. Keeping her hands rested in her lap the small girl kept her focus on the Professor and other people in the room.

Peter immediately jumped on the desk. "HOOK". Now where was his dagger. He need his dagger to fight Hook. Well he had this stick of wood. Wand thing. That would work. He pointed the wand at Hook.
"Where did you put Wendy and my Lost Boys?"
Did he have Mr. Smee guarding them somewhere.
Stupid Hook thinking he could outsmart him.

Which, wouldn't surprise Aladdin considering that his friend was a Genie...Anyways...The man with the hook who said to call him 'Captain then took his apple and started eating it! How dare he! Granted, Aladdin technically broke the rule, but still! That was rude just going into people's pockets and.......Aladdin couldn't speak about that being rude because he did that all the time.
Then there was a boy, who also was there when Aladdin somehow got in this mysterious place. Though he apparently knew this man...by the way it sounded this man the 'Captain' was evil...Rising at the desk Aladdin said "A street rat does what he has to do...even if it means stealing to stay alive." His voice started to gradually get louder as he spoke "By the sounds of it, I'd say you're a pirate. As a pirate you should know all about stealing because after all according to that boy-" Aladdin then pointed at the boy who had a wand out "-You've stolen more than just apples or other treasure...you've stolen a person. Believe me buddy, that's one thing you do not get away with."
Walking away, he joined the other boy who was standing on the desk. Pulling out from his pocket he expected a dagger of some sorts, but it seems that he pulled out a wand of his own. Pointing it at the Captain he remembered how Jafar kidnapped Jasmine. If this man did the same thing as Jafar, that meant he was dead to Aladdin. No one, and he meant NO ONE! Got away with stealing someone from anybody!
"On guard, Captain." Aladdin said with a grin.
Apple discarded into a rubbish bin, he stood tapping his boot against the ground impatiently for answers, the Captain looked at the piece or parchment and read over the next step to the lesson plan when he was almost completely caught off guard.
"Well well well, if it isn't Peter Pan. My great and worthy opponent," he sneered as he twisted his hook in the air. "Lost your Wendy, have you? That is quite the pity." As for his claim to the Lost Boys, it seemed like the one boy wasn't the only one who needed his eyes checked. They were ALL AROUND YOU, PAN. "Bad form, Peter, standing on a desk like that with nothing but a twig to fight me with."
YOU GAMES OF MAKE BELIEVE WILL NOT SAVE YOU NOW, PETER PAN. PREPARE TO MEET THY DOOM!
Before he could taught his nemesis further, or act on his thoughts, the same blind poor with bad form was speaking again and spouting off complete rubbish. He clearly needed his ears checked as well. Peter Pan was not his captain and therefore stealing from him was all in good form. The cocky brat deserved it.
"If you are going challenge me to a duel, you could have at least done so in the corrected civilized for. En garde, street rat. En garde." He eyed their shoes on the table and sticks in there hands. "Bad form! Bad form indeed! No standing on tables like that!"
And oooooooooh what he would give to have a proper go at Peter Pan right now...but he was out numbered and not a fool. Plus, he had this civic duty he had to attend to - this whole teaching duty. But he would be recruiting during this. Oh yes. By the time all this was done he would have his own crew and THEN, Peter Pan, thy doom would come!

Lex might have asked something about it too were it not for the horrid noise that came in shortly after. "What in Merlin's beard....?" She turned to watch the Professor enter....with a hook. Alright. Sure.
But then the Professor was going on about things and substituting his own class and..."Reckon someone slipped him something at dinner when he wasn't looking?" She asked Lottie, not sure what she was meant to make of the man right now. He was Airey, of course he was. Not a Captain, not that she knew anyway.
As for his question, it was discarded for the moment in the wake of her own. "Professor....why are you dressed like that and why are you talking so weird and how soon can we get roasting that meat?" All important questions. Answer the last one first.
For now, she was just gonna...ignore Dante going on about Hook and Lost Boys. The Professor was her main concern and BOY was she concerned.

Oh, no. Not this again. Mentally, she started to count the days until the winter holidays. They couldn't come sooner. She had thought Dante was the good kid, not one who would go along with whatever Airey thought could be amusing. Like stupid space puns from Nigel.
Also, she wondered if Airey had already written that recommendation letter... if not, then she was in trouble. Now you see why she wanted that letter ASAP. Anything can happen at Hogwarts. Including Professors pretending to be some character from some movie. Peter Pan to be more precise. The hook was a bit unnecessary, he could harm someone for real. You know how Gryffindors are.
Whispering. "Oddly enough, I don't think that's what happened." She told Lex. If someone had slipped something on his drink, then they probably slipped something on Dante's too. That would explain things, because Dante was the smart one between both Barrington boys.
Lotus Acacia Wisteria completely forgot to answer the question, momentarily worrying about that recommendation letter.
One eye always watching Peter Pan, his threatening gaze fell on the next voice that spoke and all of a sudden a wide grin spread across the man's features. That tone of concern for his well-being and nourishment. Yes. Yes FINALLY he had been found! "SMEEEEEEE!" he declared, arms spread out wide as he marched towards the source of the voice...only to find that there were two young ladies sitting there. And no Smee.
She could be his replacement.
"You there," he said, pointing his hook to the one wearing the badge. "You shall be my first mate and you," he said as he turned to the other girl. "You shall be my boatswain. Congratulations are in order." And he gave the two of them some quick applause. "Now you, New Smee. Your first order of business is to polish my sword," he said as he reached into his scabbard and tossed it at her (which was nothing more than Professor Flamsteed's wand. No real sword). "I want to see my reflection in that by the end of the day."

Now that that had been settled, the Captain's gaze fell on another one of the Lost Boys. Another that showed clear promise in his interest with his struggle to best the Pan.
"No, but tell me, boy. Hast thou ever considered being a pirate?" There were plenty of openings.

Red fiddled with the parcel on her desk before slipping it into her basket. "I don't know what that is, but it would frighten any decent woodland creature." And some of the indecent ones too.
She was going to stay right here, thank you. "Does anyone happen to have an axe handy? Just in case this goes a bit wrong on us, you know?"
And this one. Yes. He quite liked her bloodthirsty way of thinking. She would do nicely in the war against Peter Pan - still watching you. Always watching you, boy.
"Join my crew aboard the Jolly Roger and I shall make sure you get your axe," he promised.
SPOILER!!: Sophie & Toby!

And... as Flamsteed continued to speak - first introducing himself as Hook, then being... far too into the role, she realized... something was wrong, wasn't it? He... WASN'T just kidding around? And then the little Slytherin boy, going on about Wendy and the Lost Boys - well. Sophie knew ALL about the story of Peter Pan, of course - the movie was her one of her favorite things the Muggle world had ever created - and she wanted to think this whole thing was some... rehearsed play or something. But, now that she thought back to Lex in those previous classes acting like she was the Mistress of All Evil or some nonsense - Soph glanced at the Head Girl at the thought of it - it was... briefly concerning that the girl was back to normal. What... was even happening?
Soph didn't have an answer to the question "Hook" posed. No drawing attention to herself just yet. Instead, she was... observing. Calculating. No eating of the packaged treat on her desk, that was for sure. Were they in any real danger, if Captain Hook was their professor for the day? Her wand slid out from its holster on her arm and she very calmly and casually let it rest in her lap, just in case, holding onto it tightly. Waiting. And... wondering... street rat? That was an Aladdin thing! Soph squinted at the Slytherin boy, even more baffled by the events unfolding before them, and she peeked at Tobes.
...Oh, Merlin. Maleficent, Captain Hook, Peter Pan, Aladdin. Had they... brought the characters from Disney World back with them from their trip over the summer? What if THEY had caused this, her and Tobes? What if they'd picked up some sort of curse while they were there?!
Even though her eyes had slightly bulged, Sophie tried to seem totally calm and cool as she wrote on her notes in the upper corner so Tobes could see, Did Disney World follow us? She very nonchalantly nudged his side to get his attention and let her hand slide over the writing like she was brushing her paper of dust or something, but she was really just showing him what she had written.
Could that... even be possible?

Ian hoped it would placate the crazy teacher.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning! O Captain! My Captain!
Ian decided he should also answer the question. Sir, fruit flies were blasted into space by the US Space program. With that, he sat back down to try and absorb what had happened. Again, he apologized to Norah and Jasmine.

............... uhhhhhhhhhhh.
Being perhaps a little less discreet than Soph was, though did it REALLY matter with all that kerfuffle going on, Toby scribbled a message back: I dunno. That's a muggle place, and you've not been waltzing around as Cinderella or anything.
Of course, Toby had been being Prince Charming, but he was always Prince Charming, so that was slightly different. And... not a joke he would be making out loud just yet.

Too bad she'd grown out of that cuteness, huh?
After letting him read and grinning cheekily at him, she wrote some more, alternating between glancing at the parchment and around at everyone's antics so she didn't seem entirely tuned out of the lesson's going-ons, If I do start waltzing around as Cinderella, will you be my Prince Charming? WIGGLY EYEBROWS. No, that wasn't what she had really wanted to say either, so she pressed on and added one last line to it, Do you think Flamsteed's actually in there somewhere? THAT was a big concern. If... some weird thing was happening and they WEREN'T all just acting and they DID really think they were these Disney characters... then... well... when would they get their Flamsteed back? Lex was back to normal, it seemed, after dressing in all that weird garb and claiming to be Maleficent, so... it was only a matter of time, right? He'd go back to normal? And all these other kids, too, right?
...Hopefully sooner rather than later, yeah?
Merlin. She needed to tell the Headmistress what they'd done.
"BAD FORM!" he roared as his hook went into the table top just between the two.
"Were you not ever taught that it is incredible rude to whisper and pass notes in class? YOU TWO SHALL JOIN THAT ONE AND WALK THE PLANK!" he declared triumphantly. "But first, your grade for today's lesson." He reached over and plucked one of the quills away from the two and quickly scribbled down a big letter F on both of their parchments.

He glanced down at the food again. Did the Professor try some of it beforehand? Because if so, he was not interested.
"After my ti---after my time?!" he roared at the boy. "How DARE you imply that MY TIME has an END! You will join the others and walk the plank!"

Nostrils flaring - hey, was that steam coming out of them? - he glared at the next voice that spoke...and had to glance back down at the parchment to confirm or deny her suspicion.
"No."

"Halloween isn't for another year, Prof." The boy grumbled, pulling the lab coat he had gotten at the door over his head and set his head back on the desk.
...
"Captain. You will address me as Captain," he corrected as he leaned forward to have his nose practically touch the one belonging to the younf man that had spoken. "NEW SMEE! (DaniDiNardo) Start keeping notes for me. This one too shall walk the plank."

"I dunno what happened in 1947, but this 20th of February, my baby sisters Bryana and Aubrey will be four years and five months old!" Because that was clearly a constructive answer. "So I guess you could say they were -133 years and 7 months old back then. Uh... sir Captain sir."
And Dima tossed a salute at the end of that just 'cause he could play TOO.
He tapped his lip with his hook and stepped towards the Lost Boy. "I quite like the look of you. My crew needs people of intelligence. You will make a fine addition," he said while placing a firm hand on his shoulder. "Welcome aboard the Jolly Roger."
SPOILER!!: Kevin & Agatha!

Of course he wouldn't have cared if it was someone else but she happened to be rude to his only friend so of course he was like that. That was until he saw the look that Zander gave him and the Professor entering the room that he sighed. "You're lucky" he said to Agatha and pocketed his wand back.
.....WHAT was the Professor WEARING?!
Kevin stared at the whole costume and he wasn't the only one. Was this the same man who had barked at himin his office? What? Kevin nudged Zander's arm and snickered. The hook as a hand was really cool though. "he talked like that in the common room as well some time ago, talk about being weird right?" he s to the older Gryffindor and laughed. Wait..waaait what had the question been again? Mweh whatever. Instead of answering whatever the question had been, Kevin opened one of the bags in front of him and began to eat.
Oh! HE had a question though. "Did you hit your head somewhere, Cap?!" heh. And WHAT was up with the first year kid, Dante....bunch of weirdos were at this school...

She wouldn't dare to reach for her own wand now, since that mental Gryffindor already had his pointed at her and he could do something stupid. How dare he do that? The fourth year clenched her fists and kept glaring at him without moving a muscle. The professor entered just in time, though, and she shot that stupid Gryffindor one last glare as he put his wand away and settled down on his stupid seat. She wouldn't forget that, oh, no she wouldn't. You just wait, stupid Gryffindor person. You just wait.
Agatha's brain couldn't decide whether she should keep glaring at Zander's stupid friend or if she should stare at professor Flamsteed acting strange. Once Dante jumped on his desk and began yelling the most pointless things and POITING HIS WAND AT THE PROFESSOR???????????????????? Whoooooa, he was a lot cooler than his dumb brother Nigel. And then another kid was doing the same. A mutiny against professor Flasmteed??? Agatha kind of didn't mind the man, because he was her uncle's friend. Hopefully they wouldn't hurt him that much.
At this point the Slytherin had completely forgotten about that Gryffindor kid being oh so rude to her. She also forgot to answer 'Hook's question, but that was definitely not important now.
"It's Captain," he enunciated. "Bad form to show a lack of diction, boy." He threw New Smee a quick look. Yes, this one as well. The plank with this one.
"It is also bad form to point silly sticks at a lady."
SPOILER!!: Kace & Lux!

I mean it was halloween so why not dress up. He even liked the accent he had from imitating being a pirate. He even like the first year slytherin's remark about Wendy and the Lost Boys. He wondered where they are. And where was the crocodile? All excellent questions. He heard the question he asked the class.
Kace raised his hand and said, "Professor is it something to do with pirates?" It was a wild guess right? Let's see if he is right.

.........
Why was Professor Flamsteed dressed like a pirate? Confused, she stared at him while trying tofigure out what was going on. Hook? As in... Captain Hook from Peter Pan? She had read the book and seen the movie, so the more she listened the more she felt convinced she was correct in her guess. But why was he pretending to be a pirate from a muggle fairy tale? This was strange even for him.
More cofused than ever, she raised her hand to answer the question. "Is it related to pirates?" Though what pirates had to do with Astronomy was beyond her.
He eyed the pair and smirked. "No, but has thou ever thought of becoming one?"
SPOILER!!: Penelope & Samantha & Angel

The fairy tale characters worried Penelope, but she didn't have time to think about that right now. What had she read about that day in 1947? "Fruit flies were sent into space on February 20 1947, Captain." Did they really have to address him as Captain?

Angel then saw him arrive but he was pretending to be a pirate this was going to go down great. She then suddenly saw not one but two students acting weird as well. "Guy's should we go get the healer?" Angel sighed, seriously someone could get hurt the way this was going.
Angel raised her hand "Fruit flies were sent into space on that date, captain" Angel looked at the man and then realised that he didn't look very much like a captain, did someone mutiny against him one day.
FINALLY someone had uttered the words scribbled on this piece of parchment he was clutching.
"Correct," he said as he marched back up to the board and stuck a piece of chalk to the tip of his hook to write the date and the word 'fruit flies' to the board. "Says here on this piece of parchment that this is important because it proved that living things on Earth could survive in outer space. After..." he squinted at the parchment and removed his spectacles from his pocket. "I have never seen such appalling handwriting before." He squinted some more. "After...monkeys, mice, and dogs were....launched into space." This made sense to the Lost Boys here? He would NOT allow himself to fall behind them in mental capacity. It would be the epitome of bad form!
"So it is thanks to these living things that the possibility for humans in space was realized. The first of whom was Yuri Gagarin on April 12, 1961." Whoever that gentleman was. "Which now goes back to the previous topics you have discussed..." he continued as he read from the parchment...skipping over a lot of the illegible text. "...because the Earth goes kaboom...humans can live in space."
His finger trailed over the parchment to the next point.
"Living in space poses many difficulties, one of which was a serious concern for the Friendship 7 mission of 1962. It was known at that time if the ingestion and absorption of nutrients were possible in a state of zero gravity. During this spaceflight, astronaut John Glenn ate food packed in a tube." MORE squinting at the parchment. "Who can explain why a tube, like a tube of toothpaste, was used as a food container?"
He stopped here to look up at the class.
"And do you all have an excess of earwax built up in your ears? I SAID TO EAT THE CONTENTS OF THOSE PARCELS!" he roared as he stomped over to the nearest Lost Child's desk (CLAIM THIS SPOT IF YOU WANT!), snatched up one of the parcels, tore it open, and stuffed the food in his mouth.
OOC: I'm sorry for not doing the usual individual replies to everyone, but all your posts were read, digested, and appreciated. So thank you <3
I will be out tomorrow for the wedding of two of my best friends, so it is VERY likely that my next post won't come until at least 36 hours from the time of this post. Thank you for your patience and understanding :3

Thornton had been glad that class had been scheduled for the lab, assuming it may mean less magic required. But when he heard that noise, a shudder ran up his spine.
What... in the what?
Eyes wide, the young boy watched pirate!Flamsteed enter and introduce himself as Hook. Dante's outburst caused him to turn his head.. Lost Boys? Wendy? Why had he pulled a wand?! As far as he knew, there was no antagonism between the two of them. Hadn't they all had a good time with that expansion charm? Had something else happened?
Always deferential to authority, Thornton chose not to engage with Flamsteed, but turn toward Dante. "Dante!" he whisper!yelled, "what are you doing? You can't just pull your wand on a professor."
Even one acting so weird.
****
But then, well, he was sentencing everyone to walk the plank and... saying they shouldn't be standing on tables? This was either a command performance or Flamsteed had been hit in the head with an asteroid. Certainly the man had been particular about some things, but never really manners, or "good form."
He still felt fine, however, and so whatever was causing everyone to go mad, seemingly, was not the food he'd eaten with Alexa, who was seeming back to normal. So, despite the entire situation being one of sensory overload and confusion, Thornton still had some of his wits about him. No one had asked him to do magic, yet, after all.
But then Pirate!Flamsteed stole the packet he was about to eat!
"Excuse me, Professor, er, Captain, Hook," Thornton said, trying to keep his voice even. "But I had planned to eat that one and you took it without asking."

Astronomy Lesson 2 :: food in space.............sort of

It seemed most of them were too taken aback by the happenings to pay attention to Captain Flamsteed's question. That or they didn't know the answer. Adi stayed quiet for the latter reason.
Speaking of the Professor, where was he? He was always there to greet his students.
