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
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
Bonkers. The Professor, err , Captain was absolutely bonkers.
Kevin normally didn't care about someones health but this made even worry him. Not for the Professor, oh no. For himself. Why? Because he had an appointment with the man some time later to talk about his *behaviour* and helping him out. But did he really want advice from a guy like that? eh no.
He did jump in his seat when the Professor Bonkers shouted at both him and Eden to chill at the bottom of the lake and even he couldn't say anything back and just stared because this was just RIDICULOUS!
Then more stuff happened. Actually a lot was happening in this class that it made his head hurt but when the Professor...Captain..whatever he was... suddenly picked up a student and locked her up in the storage closet he LAUGHED again.
HE LOCKED HER UP IN THE STORAGE CLOSET! THIS WAS PRICELESS! BWAHAHAHAHA! Maybe becoming a pirate wasn't such a bad idea if he could do those kinds of things. Hmm...he should definitely concider this now.
Wait.... they were gonna fly? THIS WAS SO COOL! Kevin sat in his seat and closed his eyes. This was a magical place afterall so the thought of being able to fly wasn't THAT weird. Anyways, he had closed his eyes and thought really hard about something that made him happy.
His mind brought him back to his own house, in the potions lab that his mother had in the basement. He smiled as he thought about the potions he was gonna make in there alone when he was old enough. Then his mind went to a big party in the future. He had successfully made new potions that would make him super rich. Kevin was READY!
He had to stop smiling when a rock was being thrown across the room. He watched it fly over his head and then turned around in his seat to follow the flight of the stone and hit the blackboard. He laughed again when the thing fell over.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Adi suddenly found himself looking at his empty left hand. His ears? O_O Maybe they did need cleaning because he had no idea what Professor Hook meant by that statement. It was safe to say he had missed something. Hehe.
Shrugging, Adi made more notes about...ugh! Gross stuff. Waste water? Disgusting.
He raised an eyebrow at the ''fairy'' before he started laughing to himself. Really? That looked nothing like Tinkerbell except for the outfit. His laughing was cut short as the boy was forced to duck as the rock came whizzing by. And then there was that CRASH as Tinker Rock knocked the blackboard over. What a class.
Time to get back an apple. Oh look! The Hufflepuff could fly! LOL. By flying he meant flailing his arms around. At the stand, he grabbed an apple. See, Captain? He had an apple once more. Adi returned to his seat, quit the flailing and nommed on his fruit.

Were Dima and Dot REALLY buying into this? REALLY? Maddie sat there, completely puzzled. It had been amusing and all at FIRST but now it was just loud and chaotic and a colossal waste of her valuable time. Also, she'd always know Dima to be trusting but she thought the red head was a bit more hesitant to trust a crazy man. CLEARLY crazy. Clearly in need of help. Clearly. Maddie was about done.
Spotting Kyroh slipping under his desk, Maddie did the same and made her way over to him. He WOULD be eating the freeze-dried ice cream and the brunette frowned slightly, hoping he wasn't going to start acting crazy too.
"We should jump ship," She whispered. Brown eyes flicked towards the door and she raised her eyebrows, wondering if they could slip out unnoticed. Surely they could find something better to do. Quieter. More fun.

There wasn't even a mention of Vitamin C on it...and add that to the fact that the Captain didn't even know what an astronaut was and, well, he just wasn't about to admit that he did not know the answer.
"By using their mouth, I would imagine," he replied. Not too bright that one. How else would one eat a cookie?
***
"BUT HERE IN NEVERLAND WE DO NOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THIS PETTY THING CALLED GRAVITY, FOR WE HAVE PIXIE DUST!" he exclaimed as he removed the cage from the wall holding Tinker Bell (Professor Flamsteed's pet rock dressed up as the fairy and had been that way since Halloween). "BEHOLD!" he said triumphantly as he removed the fairy from her prison. "JUST THINK A HAPPY THOUGHT, assuming such a thing exists in your feeble minds, AND YOU WILL KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO EXPERIENCE THIS ZERO GRAVITY SITUATION RIGHT HERE!" He then pulled his arm back as though he were about to throw the fairy. "As she flies across the room and covers everyone and everything in pixie dust, do not be surprised if your tables and the food upon it floats as well. Just like this space place! You are allowed to eat ONE food item to experience what it is like to be one of these....astronaut beings. After, you are to float back down to your seat and SIT. ARE WE CLEAR?"
GOOD.
He then shook the fairy (the rock) over his head and threw her across the room with a menacing laugh that echoed throughout the area. The rock zoomed passed everyone - not hitting a single person in the head or any other limb - and went crashing into the chalk board and knocked it over completely with a loud CRASH.
Meanwhile, the Captain was thinking of the only happy thought he had and laughing even more crazily as he flapped his arms. "HAHA! YOU AREN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN FLY, PETER PAN! I'LL GET YOU YET!"
But, to keep with good form he flew towards one of the food strands and plucked a floating peach out of the air (aka he walked somewhat airily while flapping his arms towards the fruit stand and picked up a peach) which he then began to eat.
Red didn't appreciate the captain's sense of humor at ALL, but she'd agreed to be his crew and she wasn't about to question her orders. Just one thing, though... where was her axe? She'd been promised an axe. PROMISED one.
"Excuse me, your captainness, but where's my axe?" she tried to get the question out around his spitting and yelling, but it wasn't quite clear if she'd been heard while the man was busy throwing rocks at people. ROCKS WITH WINGS. He was definitely at least 75% wolf, and that was without a doubt. Good thing she'd have an axe coming soon.
"That's not a fairy, sir. That's breakfast." Red slipped out of her seat and made her way up to eye the food they were allowed to share. One food item. Got it. She was hoping to trick the wolf into eating rocks, since she was pretty sure that was the way it was supposed to go, although the how and why of it was a bit fuzzy. In the meantime... oh, MY MY MY. "What very big apples you've got," the girl muttered, and she casually dumped the entire fruit bowl into her basket.
He heard Puck's voice anywhere. He smiled and saw her sassing the captain. Uh oh...bad move Puck! She was sent to the supply closet and he was laughing. I mean she needed to be more careful. He wished he could help her out but he didn't wanna get locked in there too. He hoped she would find a way out. I mean she was Puck after all.
As Kace was listening the professor talk about the astronaut food, he was impressed with the information. It was quite interesting, then he saw him hold a rock and threw it across the room and Kace ducked in case he was gonna get hit but no one did. He saw it crash into the board....
O___O.....
BLOODY MERLIN WHAT WAS GOING ON HERE!?
He heard the task at hand and realized he needed to eat one food item and then he would feel the sensation of having no gravity. He smirked and got an ice cream sandwich and began eating it. Then as he finished it, he felt himself floating.
Wwoooaaahhh!!!
He was like rising off his seat. He was smiling and was liking the feeling. He chuckled and then did the professor's instructions and sat back down. Kace chuckled at the Professor mentioning to Peter Pan he can fly.
Man this lesson was getting more and more interesting.
He GLARED at the boy. "It is bad form to finish sentences incomplete," he said. "Consider that a warning." The boy already had his fate sealed, but perhaps if he learned good form by the time class was up he would reconsider his decision. Possibly.
And then his eyes were on the girl...who was telling him that his decision had been made in the WRONG. He was NEVER wrong, and yet her tone was one of truth...and he was now questioning if he had, in fact, acted in bad form.
WHAT AN APPALLING THOUGHT!
"I...sincerest apologies to you, girl," he said as he took her F grade parchment and tore it up into tiny bits that he then threw into the air. "I revoke your grade." But just hers. Not the boy next to her.
Especially after what he said next!
"Tell your captain the truth," he said calmly as his examined his hook in the light. "You think that I would have the audacity to try and poison those who I have been told I am to educate. That I, JAS Hook, would act in bad form and deceive you all. Go on...say it...say you do not trust me...go on..."

As for TRUSTING him... that... was difficult to answer. Toby trusted everyone until he was proved that he couldn't, and maybe it was just because he was kind of irritable on an empty stomach, but he REALLY didn't trust this guy. He was acting kind of... frightening. BUT he'd SAID to tell the truth...
"I don't think I do," the Hufflepuff replied matter-of-factly, though he eyed that hook with something a little closer to unease. But it was fine. He'd be fine. "I trust Professor Flamsteed, but I'm not sure I trust............ you." ... HE'D not said anything about POISON either. Had just figured the food was enchanted, or maybe spiked with a potion. Other kids all around him had eaten the ice cream, and nothing had happened to them yet. But in his first year the effects of the ice cream hadn't been immediate, SO that totally wasn't proof that he was okay. "And I definitely don't trust the ice cream"
No. The only way Toby was going to go prancing around the school as Prince Charming in a frilly shirt and tights would be on HIS say so.
"Aren't you sentencing those you were told to educate... to walk the plank?" ... "Bad form, sir!" Would... would playing along help?
This was completely mental. All the information of the class was simply not going into Toby's head, because of the incredibly HUGE distraction in the form of THE ENTIRE LESSON. He had no chance here, and figured... maybe he'd have to consult the textbook for the rest of the lesson. And... poor PEBBLES. WHAT.
Toby waited until he was PRETTY SURE Hooksteed was distracted by some other crazy part of the classroom, and discreetly retrieved his wand from his bag under the pretense of retrieving a quill he'd 'knocked off' the table.
"Accio Pebbles," Toby cast, still ducked down and HIDDEN, and waited for the pet rock to to zoom into his hand. Once he caught the poor rock, who'd hopefully not drawn any attention (they were supposedly in 'zero gravity' after all), he pushed her into his schoolbag, wound the strap around his leg for safekeeping, and straightened in his seat again.
Then he looked at Soph, wondering what they should do now. Play along and 'float' to the food and see how the lesson would play out? Get Pebbles to safety? Walk the plank? Start a mutiny?
...Captain Hook was APOLOGIZING to her? And REVOKING her failing grade? Soph did her best to prevent the laughter from bubbling out and kept a straight face - had she really just smooth-talked the villain of one of her favorite stories? THAT felt like the highest of honors. But then he was being not-so-pleasant with Tobes, and even though she wanted to be amused that SHE had gotten off the hook (har, har) and he was still sentenced to walk the plank... well, that just wouldn't do, would it?
Tobes was handling himself very well - well, up until he threw the whole "Bad form!" thing back at Hook!Flamsteed, which made her nervous that it would set the man off, and since he was surveying his hook so menacingly, she HAD to interject there. "Also, Captain, this is actually my first mate, much like your Smee, see? He's a thumpin' good one, at that. Just as you'd never dream of being without your Smee - he's rather irreplaceable, isn't he? - I'd like to keep mine, Captain, and I think it would be in good form to revoke his grade and not make him walk the plank. What would you say to another Captain trying to make YOUR Smee walk the plank? You'd make HIM walk the plank! So instead of making a mess of things here, why don't we..." she leaned forward slightly on the table, a mastered angelic-yet-threatening smile formed across her lips, "just forget all about this? In good form?"
Well? Seemed like it was worth a shot. Aside from her lack of captainy clothing, she thought she COULD be a convincing captain with the way she carried herself and spoke. Hehe.
Soph kept a keen eye on Tobes, though, making sure he was okay and no harm was going to come to him, and tore her gaze away when she saw what he was doing so she wouldn't draw attention to it. Saving Pebbles. Of course he was. She remained that way, trying to seem interested in the other goings-on of the class - she still wasn't processing a single bit of information Hook!Flamsteed was reading to them - and finally met Toby's gaze when he was finished. She gave him the smallest of shrugs - she didn't really want to go get the food. But... she also didn't want to LEAVE either. It was a good show so far, really. Frankly, she was content to stay where she was, but... she figured the Captain would take that as disobeying his orders.
Hm. Calculating... "I'm gonna go at least grab something to blend in," she breathed, her words hardly loud enough for Tobes to hear. They didn't have to eat anything, right? So, in good form, Soph crossed the room to pick up a single carrot, pretended to take a bite of it - chewing the non-existent food in her mouth and breaking off the end of the carrot when Hook wasn't looking, just to be safe and all - and wiggled her body as she went back to her seat, arms aloof and imagining she was floating.
See? She could play his games. Even though the man was a nutter right now.
Now that the two windbags had shut their traps, he was about to return his attention to looking for someone with something WORTHY to say....when there was a noise.
A noise that he feared above all else.
A noise that...
[SIZE=""]"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"[/SIZE] he bellowed as he recoiled back and stumbled over the very device that was making all the noise. He fell backwards into his desk, arching slightly as the edge came in contact with his lower and sent an uncharacteristically sharp pain through the man's spine. Since when had he, Captain JAS Hook, had such a weak back!?
And then he saw it and, despite the momentary sense of relief that it was not what he had feared it was, his eyes became ablaze in rage.
"NEW SMEEEEEEEEEEE! THROW THIS VILE THING OFF THE PLANK IMMEDIATELY!" he commanded as he thrust his hook at the nearest open window. His eyes practically burned holes in everything his gaze fell upon...especially when he found the source. "You...yes... you made a boo boo...a very big boo boo," he said to the girl as he slowly made strides towards her. Yes, he HAD seen her movements out of the corner of his eye. It was a captain's duty to be aware of all the happenings on their ship.
Then, with one swift movement, his hook was through the back of her robes so that when he lifted upwards she was dangling as though her robes were on a hanger and the hanger was his hook. "To the boo box with you it is," he whispered in her ear.
He then walked towards the boo box (which was really the storage closet in the astrophysics laboratory) and locked the door.
"NO ONE IS TO RELEASE HER UNTIL I SAY. ARE WE CLEAR?" he roared again, his eyes falling on New Smee once more. "In fact, New Smee. You shall stand guard. Unless you wish to pass off the duties to the new boatswain."
Oh my god. He was screaming! Puck laughed, she shouldn’t have laughed…but she did. His reaction to seeing the clock, oh that was funny…now, if only she had charmed a little stuffed animal crocodile to walk around the room. That would have been really funny.
He was throwing the clock out the window? She chuckled and then she saw it…the fire of hate that filled his eyes. Woooooow, if he could he’d have show her eyes with fire! It would have burnt her to the core.
”oh merlin” she squeaked out as the Captain lifted her up. HER FEET! They were in the air, and he was holding her up by his hook. WHAT was going on? She was floating. ”PUT ME DOWN! YOU FOOL! WE NEED A MUTINY!” she called out to anyone who could hear her.
”SMEEEEEES…Pirates have a munity, throw him off the plank” and then he was whispering that he was sending her into the box. HEY why weren’t people having an uprising here? When her feet finally hit the ground she just groaned because she was locked! In the storage closet.
”Smee…Boatswain…whoever is out there RELEASE MEEEEE! Release me!” she called from behind the door. She’d lose points otherwise…and really, Flamsteed…when he was Flamsteed again he would be so mad about what she was going to do.
And then the door! It was open again…but it was Declan? WHAT was he doing in the closet of dooooom? ”OY! Hazlewood what’s with the face?” she snapped at Declan as he seemed a bit…out of it.
”WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE” she yelled, heck, the yelling was probably audible in the classroom. Heck, turning toward the door she yelled even more loudly. ”RELEASE ME! OR I SO HELP ME MERLIN, I will throw my CAULDRON at your face SO hard that you will forever speak in tongues! YOU ARENT A CAPTAIN YOU ARE A…a coward A COWARD I tell you!” she was seething...once she was released...oh man she was going to scratch his pretty little face with her claws.

IT'S NOT AN ACT OF LOVE __________________________________________________ ___________ ____________
IF YOU MAKE HER ____________
Toby didn't care about a fail grade, and he wasn't about to 'walk the plank' (jump out the window???) so readily, so Soph didn't really have to work her charm right now, though he was still grateful that she did. They had each others backs, after all.
But anyway, when it came to the food, he could pretend too. The fifth year stood, sort of clumsily flailed forward a few steps (still with his schoolbag attached to his ankle), at the same time using the summoning charm again, this time so that a bunch of grapes floated right towards him. He snatched them out of the air, shuffled those two steps back to his seat, and sat back down.
Acting.
But no eating.
And............. concerned looks towards that closet. Welp. Any thoughts of making a break for it were quelled. Toby would be staying right here, just... keeping an eye out. Though maybe he'd help the littler kids make a break for it if they tried.
WOULD this Hook persona actually try throwing kids out of the window? Toby wasn't sure WHAT to think.

Rumpelstiltskin had remained silent, just watching the man in front of him. He knew it was Hook, and he was one of the only villains who actually was a threat to him. He was rendered speechless - and that NEVER happened.
But...it seemed like Hook had lost his powers as well. The rock was not floating - and neither were any of the children he was talking to. He perked up a bit in his seat. YES! He didn't have any of the powers he once had - Rumple actually had a chance!
Smirking, he took a bite of the food in front of him and watched the hilarity ensue. How embarrassing for Hook. It'd be a reallllll shame if someone used this all against him...

"I don't." Lex admitted to the question of knowing the books whereabouts. "It could be anywhere....anywhere my wand and candy bag are which doesn't make it very helpful." But with that figured out Lottie couldn't convince her that burning books was a problem. For all she knew the book ran off with them both and until they found the book they'd never find them. The Gryffindor wouldn't stand for this. No book was too good to be burned and to hell with Jeremiah if he tried to stop her. You did NOT touch her wand, her kneazle OR her candy bag.
Turning to the Professor again she saw the look he shot her and it was almost enough to have her pale slightly. Almost. He'd never looked at her that way before. Circe. He was being serious then.....? Slowly Lex began using the end of her robe to get the job done in the absence of anything else.
It also didn't look like Lottie was going to eat her ice-cream soooo....Lex would just...um...take this....ahem. Polishing and eating where hard enough before Airey--Captain Hook--hoisted a Gryffindor into the air and locked her in the closet? What the kneazle?? o_________O At first she thought she might have been seeing things but even after he moved on there was banging coming from the next side. Oh wow. Discreetly, Lex put his wand under the desk and cast a silent 'Alohomora' to get the door open. This was for your own good Airey, to save you a law suit later--
Not that opening the door would help after he went and tossed Pebbles across the room like that with promises of fairy dust and happy thoughts. All Lex could do at the time was duck and hope it didn't hit anyone she happened to like before looking to Lottie again. "He's lost his bloody mind! He'd get someone killed--or sent to the Healer...which would be about the same." AND SINCE WHEN DID DOT HAVE AN AXE??? WHAT WAS THIS MADNESS??? What was this Lesson???????? From under her table, Lex had to ask the younger girl. "The hell are you doing with an axe? You legit have one??" If so, could she borrow it?
And flying for food? No thaaaanks, she'd just....cautiously take her seat and get back to the ice-cream. It was safe and on the ground.

Layla SAW the look the Professor had given her and she WASN’T going to play along, not like all these other weirdoes in the room. She wanted to walk out there and then and not return. She wasn’t going to learn anything if she couldn’t concentrate after all. And that wasn’t fair on HER education. She STARED back at the Professor before her eyebrow shot up almost beckoning him to try give her that look again. “I ain’t really into this theatrics stuff Prof, sorry.” Her words were fairly blunt and for once the Ravenclaw didn’t really care if she ended up in trouble or not. She was here to LEARN not to pretend to be a pirate or whatever.
But then things got a thousand times worse as Flammy pranced around the room with a rock which was promptly thrown over the heads of the students.
HAD HE GONE MAD?!
Seriously?! She could’ve sworn he was normal in the first lesson, an actual Professor who KNEW stuff and didn’t have to look at their notes every five minutes for the answers. Why and how had the board allowed him to teach like this?!
And now there was a pupil in a CUPBOARD?! Was this even legal?! "This school has MESSED UP standards" she frowned. There was no way that this place would pass its OFSTED inspection if it were a muggle school. It would probably have been shut down a long time ago.
She wasn’t going to play along with these ‘pixie dust rock tinkerbell’ either or whatever he had called it. “I think its cute that you’re gettin’ enthusiastic over this fairytale idea Sir but we ain’t five.” You know, the youngest student here was eleven and at that age Layla didn’t even believe in fairies anyway. Although that fiction had been dismantled upon arriving here. Apparently fairies DID exist. As for attempting to fly there was absolutely NO chance that she was going to do that. SHE didn’t like making a fool of herself and certainly not in front of her peers.
Could she really leave? She’d learn more out of a textbook than here..
She also gave the other idiots a pointed look too. Why were they encouraging him?! Urgh.
....Was there a point to all this? Did it make sense to keep paying attention to this commotion? Agatha didn't think so.
The Slytherin rolled her eyes exaggeratedly, as usual, and huffed as she turned away from all of that rubbish that was going on in the classroom. She did glance towards the mental people when 'professor Hook' locked someone in a closet. Hah! That was funny. Agatha didn't know teachers did that. The girl even smiled a bit, since she was truly amused by the scene.
But after that it all went back to silly and pointless havoc so Agatha turned away again. She tried to think about the choreography she's been working on in her free time but it was IMPOSSIBLE to focus with all of that madness happening around her. She huffed again and tried to listen to what professor Flamsteed was saying. Bad timing, though, since he was mentioning something about using pee water on the space food. WHO DID THAT?? Agatha had to take a deep breath in order not to gag. That was DISGUSTING. She wasn't eating any of that gross stuff now. EW.
Putting the ice cream sandwich packet down on her desk again, the fourth year had a disgusted look on her face as she turned towards the window again. If only they weren't so loud she would be able to ignore it all and think about ballet. She frowned when the rock flew across the room and fell with a loud noise. And then people were flapping their arms and oh sweet Morgana, could she leave yet?

Angel just stared at the Professor... seriously someone needed to call up St. Mungo and tell them they have lost a patient because she had never been able to fly and if she tried now she would totally have a wipe out.
"Professor, if I wanted to make a fool of myself I would go on total wipe-out because that is what would happen if I attempt to fly." Angel just looked at her boyfriend... was he sure about this mutiny thing because she really wanted to give it a try because this was not Professor Flamsteed.
"Ben.." Angel whispered to her Gryffindor Boyfriend. "I'm a bit scared." Angel liked to laugh and joke about things normally but she was actually scared right now.
Peter was all for having some fun with Hook. But a full scale mutiny. Now that did not sound like fun. It sounded like work. Adult work at that. And did he say not fun. "Well i'm all for having some fun at Hook's expense. Plus he deserves it. Though it does not look like he has Wendy"
He would be bragging about it now if he did.
But before he could even say Sure to this Genie kid. Who would make a perfect Lost Boy. Someone snakely did the tick tock and Hook was ging crazy. It was HILARIOUS.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
Peter fell back into his chair laughing. This was just too fun. And since it seems Hook was not giving to fight him. Peter might as well enjoy the show. Well He would of if not for the fact that after half an hour of talking about himself probably. He takes out a seemingly familiar fairy. IT WAS TINK.
"SO YOU HAD TINK AND NOT WENDY"
Before he could run up to grab her. He through her across the room. Fly Tink. Fly. But from Peter's experience. He could not fly here. So she hit the ground. Peter immediately got up and ran over to where she landed to find she was not there. So where was she. Hook is too dumb to have played any disappearing trick like that.
"Who magicked away Tink. Hook is too dumb to do it"

Woah, woah, woah! Hold the phone! Did Hook just lock some poor kid in a closet!?
Aladdin couldn't let this happen.
This couldn't be done, and gotten away with. Aladdin needed to do something about this. Noticing no one else joining him and Pan, and Pan falling back in his chair...laughing...he stepped down from the table. While Hook was "flying" though, he slumped down underneath the desk. This wouldn't be tolerated. Rolling from desk to desk, and bumping into a few people along the way, (Agatha and Grayson) without making to much noise he made his way over to what seemed to be a closet where, the now screaming girl, was locked in. Standing up and looking at the girl who was guarding the door Aladdin told her (Lex) "Step aside." Either way, Aladdin still pushed her to the side. Kneeling back down again, he whispered through the lock hole and Aladdin told her (Puck) "Don't worry, I'll save you."
Keeping his wand in his hand he remembered strange memories of kids doing spells that would open locked objects such as chests or doors. Pointing his wand at the lock he stated "Alohamora." Nothing. No click like there should've been. Trying again he said "Alohamora!" Still nothing. This would be easier if he just had a lockpick. Third times a charm though? Taking a deep breath he said while exhaling "Alohamora!" With that there was a click. The spell must've worked!
Twisting the door knob he slowly opened the door. Sneaking inside, he put his hand over the girl's mouth, and put his index finger over his mouth to make sure she would remain quiet. Then he squatted low to the ground, and motioned for her to do the same. Laying down on his stomach he peered at the bottom corner of the door because in his years on the streets he learned that people didn't pay attention to the highest and lowest corners. They would always pay attention to the middle because that's where they'd expect someone to look around from.
Making sure that Hook wasn't looking he signaled for her to quickly leave the closet and remain hidden. If worse came to worse, he would take her place inside the dark and small room.

Ian watched with shocked confusion as the professor physically handled a student and threw them in a closet and then directed that the head girl guard her. This was unacceptable and NO ONE was doing anything. Was everyone in this school daft? Why was everyone calmly accepting that the professor was off his bloody rocker? Ian was about to say something when the professor tossed a rock in a cage over their heads. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! he cried out as it flew over his head and crashed against the blackboard. Ian stood and cried out WHAT ARE YOU DOING PROFESSOR? IS NO ONE GOING TO STOP HIM? HE'S GOING TO HURT ONE OF US AND I'LL NOT BE THE ONE HURT! Ian was shocked that no one with a badge was standing up for them. He certainly wasn't going to try and fly or whatever this crazy teacher wanted. He sat there, his satchel in front of him like a shield.

This lesson was SUPER entertaining, and there was food. So there were NO complaints from this little Gryffindor. No. He just sat, floating on his stool, casually munching his floating apple until he reached the core. Eeewww... core.

Of course, it was clear that some others weren't enjoying the lesson as much, but instead of hearing words all he heard was MOAN MOAN MOAN MOAN SISSY. Yep. And that's when he got an idea.
"I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS ONE, CAPTAIN!" He called over, standing on the rungs of his stool so that he was TALLER.
HAHAHA!!!!
"DON'T LIKE IT? THEN GET OUT..." or like, hide under a desk or something. "This is the Captain's quarters! Not yours!"
And with that, he fired a warning shot at the boy, ditching his apple core at the boys make-shift shield, aka satchel bag.
That was a great word to describe the class. He was YELLING at her and Kevin, though, and she did NOT appreciate it. She glared up at Professor Flamsteed and crossed her arms at him...and didn't say a word to him. He was being terrible. She was SO ready to---
HE LOCKED PUCK IN A CLOSET.
Oh no he didn't. Eden didn't pause to LISTEN to his words--his words of warning--it seemed the kid pretending to be Aladdin had just tried to save her, too--Eden very openly HOPPED out of her chair and began to try her hand at the door. She struggled with the knob...and just finally kICKED the door--to no AVAIL.
MERLIN.
"PROFESSOR YOU LET HER OUT RIGHT NOW!" She stomped her foot and glared in his direction. "She could DIE in there--" she said. WHY WASN'T EVERYONE PANICKING? Like--what was going through all of their HEADS? And then--THE ROCK WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TINKERBELL?! Eden was done. "I am SO going to the headmistress after this--if this is how Hogwarts conducts itself--THAT ISN'T EVEN A REAL FAIRY!" she yelled at him...very angry.
But her friend...was locked in a closet. And there might be icky spiders in there, okay?

Ahem.
Ian was busy peeking here and there, making sure no other projectiles were on the way when that Zeke kid said something about taking care of this one. And then the boy was loudly telling him that if he didn't like it he could get out. That was rather rude and sort of crazy. Ian looked at the boy and then called out. HE'S NOT A CAPTAIN! HE'S THE SAME PROFESSOR THAT'S BEEN TEACHING US ASTRONOMY ALL TERM. Today, maybe not so much teaching. It appears he's had a mental break and he thinks he's a fictional pirate captain and you're just following.....................GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHH Ian finished the last part as an apple core made it's way to his head....bouncing off the satchel and landing at his feet. Ian's face screwed up and he picked up his strawberry ice cream pouch and tossed it at Zeke. I don't think I've done anything to cause you to toss partially eaten fruit bits! I think you need to cool off some. Ian reached down and picked up another ice cream pouch, opened the tube top and squeezed it in the general direction of the boy.

Was this dude serious? NOT A CAPTAIN? ... sure looked like a Captain to him, sounded like one too. And so what if Airey was a little off his rocker? It was all FUN.. which was more than what could be said for some of the other lessons he'd sat through. "If you don't like it... then why are you still HERE?" Go run along and hide under your bed Pufferrr.
But oohhh....
What was this?!
Zeke watched as the boy tossed him a pack thing, an ice cream pack thing. And even though it hit him on the arm, he accepted it HAPPILY. Cause... MORE FOOD!!! "Thanks maaan!" he beamed. Hehehehe. Zeke didn't waste any time in opening and consuming the good, stuffing his face was one of his many talents. But then....
WHAAAATTTT?!
MORE food was coming AT him! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Though sadly most of it his the floor, and this WAS sad because it was socially unacceptable to eat from such a surface. Five second rules didn't count here did they?
Food fight? Was this actually going to happen?
"CAPTAIN!!! PERMISSION TO ENGAGE IN WAR?!" War? Did pirates SAY war? Or was there another word for it? He had LOOOOTSSS to learn about this pirate business.

Ian was incredulous as this boy asked why he was still here. I'm still here because we haven't been dismissed yet. I don't know if the professor is crazy or just acting, but I don't have good enough grades to be taking chances. Annnnnd....I don't care WHAT he looks like. He still looks like the professor except for the cheap costume shop wax job and costume. That hook on the other hand, dangerous thing there. Why was Ian responding to an absurd request for information from a student. A goofball student at that.
The boy thanked him for the ice cream. Obviously Ian hadn't tossed the ice cream with enough vigor. The boy just took it. And then he looked upset that he was spraying food on the floor. Then......Permission to wage war? This isn't a warzone....it's a classroom, though I'm not sure how much class is being displayed and are you happy he's locked one of us in the closet? WHat if he decides to lock us ALL up? What then mr I wanna be a pirate. Ian had been making his way to the piled up food things. He grabbed for the first thing he could and picked up a butt roast and tossed it in the general direction of the boy.
captain catch-up is here! (sorry I missed like a day and everything happened)

"Poor diction is bad form will not be tolerated," he sneered at the one Lost Girl (ScarletCharm104), whose response may as well have been in a foreign tongue as far as his ears were concerned. "As for the rest of you," he continued, arm haphazardly waving to the rest who had spoken. "You are all on par with what is written here on this parchment, so I hope everyone was practicing good form and paying attention." If not, then too bad. For he was a busy man and would not repeat. "The first meal in space was had by Yuri Gagarin, who ate three 160 gram toothpaste-type tubes containing two servings of puréed meat and one of chocolate sauce. As said by some of you, these toothpaste tubes were used because astronauts could squeeze the food directly into their mouths and not worry about their food floating away due to the zero gravity and potentially causing serious damage to the equipment on-board." His eyes flicked towards his prisoner in the back of the room and a smirk spread across his bearded features - a beard that still had some of the spit out mint ice cream foam stuck to it, by the way.
"The ice cream you have been savoring..." or SOME had anyway. "Is freeze dried ice cream." He continued to read from the parchment as he made his way towards the back of the room. "Dehydrated foods weigh significantly less than those that are not and even nowadays food is either partially or completely dehydrated to prevent them from spoiling. Astronauts need to add water to the majority of their foods to eat it, and it is important to note that this water is oftentimes recycled water from..." He paused his reading and made a noise reminiscent of a parrot being strangled. "...waste waters from urine, from oral hygiene and hand washing, and by condensing humidity from the air...including the air breathed out by the crew."
THAT SOUNDED ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! WHY WOULD ANYONE WISH TO GO INTO THIS PLACE CALLED SPACE AND ENDURE THAT?!
"It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to rehydrate and heat an average meal. Once this is accomplished... astronauts must also attach their individual food containers to a food tray with fabric fasteners. The tray itself connects either to the wall or to the astronauts' laps to prevent their food from floating away due to the zero gravity environment. So aren't you all glad for gravity?"
Whoever wrote this was a pathetic excuse for a gentleman. This handwriting was awful!
"BUT HERE IN NEVERLAND WE DO NOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THIS PETTY THING CALLED GRAVITY, FOR WE HAVE PIXIE DUST!" he exclaimed as he removed the cage from the wall holding Tinker Bell (Professor Flamsteed's pet rock dressed up as the fairy and had been that way since Halloween). "BEHOLD!" he said triumphantly as he removed the fairy from her prison. "JUST THINK A HAPPY THOUGHT, assuming such a thing exists in your feeble minds, AND YOU WILL KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO EXPERIENCE THIS ZERO GRAVITY SITUATION RIGHT HERE!" He then pulled his arm back as though he were about to throw the fairy. "As she flies across the room and covers everyone and everything in pixie dust, do not be surprised if your tables and the food upon it floats as well. Just like this space place! You are allowed to eat ONE food item to experience what it is like to be one of these....astronaut beings. After, you are to float back down to your seat and SIT. ARE WE CLEAR?"
GOOD.
He then shook the fairy (the rock) over his head and threw her across the room with a menacing laugh that echoed throughout the area. The rock zoomed passed everyone - not hitting a single person in the head or any other limb - and went crashing into the chalk board and knocked it over completely with a loud CRASH.
Meanwhile, the Captain was thinking of the only happy thought he had and laughing even more crazily as he flapped his arms. "HAHA! YOU AREN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN FLY, PETER PAN! I'LL GET YOU YET!"
But, to keep with good form he flew towards one of the food strands and plucked a floating peach out of the air (aka he walked somewhat airily while flapping his arms towards the fruit stand and picked up a peach) which he then began to eat.
OOC: I am SO SO SO SO SOOOOOO sorry for the delay. I did not imagine it would take me this long to post again, but you guys just give me SO much to play off of and dsfjdlfksjslskj <3
This is sort of a mini activity and you need at least 1 post to complete. Just to clarify, Pebbles (the dressed up rock) is not really Tinker Bell and there is no real fairy dust being spread about. So please do not RP things literally floating upwards or your characters flying about the classroom like a bird.
OF COURSE your characters can react to "Professor Flamsteed's" actions however you see fit. And no, nothing bad will happen if your character eats any of the food - but we suggest staying away from raw meat for obvious reasons
Thank you all for your patience and creative RPing! <33 and for putting up with me :|
Toothpaste like containers? Okay, all she was thinking about now was beef coming out of a toothpaste tube. And while the kid would eat anything, that was NOT anything. Sorry, but toothpaste meat sounded like a bad name for a metal band. And Ophelia didn't DO metal bands. Her friend Caelen showed her a single metal album from long ago and all it did was give half the people in the house a migrane. Which was to say that Ophelia kept it for biological warfare. Maybe the little twerp was more evil than she let on. Well, when you were the younger sister, you kind of had to be. So she would be good in a war or something. Except for teh actual war part.
.............
Okay, and the blonde thought HER family had lost it! What was this Professor even talking about? Had the first year spaced out for too long? First Maleficent and then This French kid was apparently Aladdin and now Professor Flamsteed was Captain Hook or something? It was entertaining, that wasn't a lie, but it was also a little strange, and more than a little confusing. There was a kid in a cage. And rock Tinkerbell. And bad... form? What did that even mean? And why did people have to walk the plank/ jump out the window? Because that sounded dangerous. Like really dangerous. She would protect her fellow students, even if she WAS about five foot even. Ummmmm.
But this was weird, right? It was hard to tell as a first year, and this was only her second astonomy lesson. Waaaay too early in the year or a full scale mutiny! If that was EVEN happening? possibly? She was just getting used to his eccentric ways, like jumping on desks and shouting, and now it was like all of that and a bag of chips. Weird muggle phrases. Ewww. Ophelia couldn't stand those, but her mom insisted on teaching them and her having to learn them.
This all felt like standing in the middle of an argument between her two fastest talking siblings. The blonde was stuck with her head whipping back and forth to catch up and wondering what in the exact heck was going on. Someone was in a cage and her favorite professor so far was yelling about bad form. At least they had the notes? Quickly scribbling everything down, the brown eyed girl watched a student yelling about the person in the cage. Yeah, letting her out was probably a good idea.
Could they do that? Let the poor person out? Because that was probably NOT the best idea? Uggh, maybe she should brush up on her fairytales to actually understand what these people were TALKING about. She hated missing things, and that was all the eleven year old felt like she was doing. Missing things between people.
And rock Tinkerbell was literally the kookiest thing she had ever seen. And it was amazing. Nothing like this EVER happened at home. Which was why she liked this place. It was sooo much more fun and soo much more suited to someone like her. Someone who liked moving and being around other people and kookiness and.... this place was just SOOO COOL! Slapping her palm over her mouth, the eleven year old giggled slightly at their more than eccentric professor.
Also, flying? Because she was pretty sure they ha stuff for that? Unless he actually HAD pixie dust. Because pixies were apparently real, and if he collected their dust, theoretically, she would be on board. But that raised another question. Trying to pick her words carefully, her hand went into the air.
"Profess-er- Captain? How do you GET dust from a pixie, anyway? Theoretically of course, since we have other stuff, but how would that work?" Yes, she was kind of egging him on, but whatever. What could possibly go wrong besides what already had?

What. Even. ???? Zander just gave Kevin a weird look and then turned back in time to Professor Flailsteed to see-- HOLY MERLIN!! Was he shoving that girl into the closet???! He had gone mad. It was officially official. But then the door was unlocked? Huh? Had someone cast a spell? Hm. Probably a prefect or something.
Anyways, what was going on? And why was Flailsteed pretending to fly? This was weird... Turning to Kevin again, Zander raised a brow "Pixie dust?" Huh? "Professor, if we really wanted to fly couldn't we just use broomsticks?" Except Zander wasn't any good at those. So nevermind. We'll pass on that, Professor or Captain or whatever the heck you are.

Honestly, at this part it was beyond impossible to pay attention to anything that was going on in this class. So instead, Lux contented herself with eating the ice cream. It was weirder than what she usually ate, but ice cream was ice cream.
Seeing a rock zoom by her head and hit a wall, she almost choked on her food, but managed to swallow. This was beyond scary, and she wanted Bay.

Penelope was not going to eat the ice cream, no matter what the captain said. She didn't like ice cream, and all of the crazy stuff happening was making her feel slightly nauseous. The captain was locking people in the closet, and he seemed to think that pebbles could make everyone fly.
The room was turning in to a war zone! This was too much for the second year Ravenclaw to handle. She was scared, hyperventilating, and feeling kind of weak. Penelope was afraid that running for the door might get her thrown in a closet, so she disappeared under the table to hide and to plan her escape. There was no way that she was going to stay in here with all of this craziness.
