The National Space Centre is one of the United Kingdom's leading visitor attractions that is devoted to space science and astronomy. It is located in the city of Leicester, England.
The group lands in the large parking lot just outside of The National Space Centre, hidden from all muggle gazes thanks to some large shrubbery. Hopefully no one has become too queasy from the trip, but if you have those bushes are right there to...you know...help you out. After handing the portkeys back to Professor Flamsteed, he instructs you to remove your entry ticket and to follow him. REMEMBER! Under NO circumstances are you to break the The International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy. Approaching the ticket gate, the professor beams over his shoulder as he demonstrates the "proper way to hand over an entry ticket" by handing it to one of the muggle staff present - who gives you a perplexed look before uttering, "Welcome to The National Space Centre. Have a safe flight!"
Once inside, Professor Flamsteed instructs you to pull out your guide maps you picked up while still in the Astronomy classroom at Hogwarts so that he can go over the various activities he hopes you will be sure to take a look at before needing to catch the portkeys - now safely tucked away in his enchanted breast pocket - back at precisely 3:05 pm from the same location in the muggle parking lot.
ACTIVITIES OOC: you do NOT need to do every single one of these activities for full participation credit for this lesson. I would like you to pick AT LEAST 2, ideally 3, and RP accordingly. There is no real post minimum for each activity as long as the content is there. Just have fun with things and, remember, your character is in MUGGLEDOM.
Please also feel free to look at the official website for the National Space Centre and click through some of the other things the place has to offer. I am taking a few liberties with some already existing exhibits there (and making up some of my own) - just work with me that the same thing in 2014 is there at 2085
Also, since we are all RPing in the SAME thread, please please PLEASE title your post with the LOCATION & ACTIVITY with which your character is participating in so we can all keep track of where we all are and find others to play with PLEASE AND THANK YOU!
The Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium is the largest in the UK and was opened in 2012 by the astronomy hero Sir Patrick Moore to a packed house.
Each show combines the latest edge-blended video technologies, sound and computer animation to immerse you in a full 360º fulldome cinema experience for no additional charge!
The show currently playing on this day is one 2014, which was brought back by popular demand, titled We Are Aliens.
OOC: youtube has a TON of clips from this that you can take a look at. Here is a link to one of them and I am sure you can maneuver yourself to find the rest
And yeah...Rupert Grint *cues Twilight theme* I am not sure if we as a site have ever established whether the Harry Potter films we know and love exist in our SS canon as something that muggles will have seen *inserts all sorts of theories here* So, for now, let's assume they DO NOT. Rupert's face does not appear in the film as far as I know, so it is just his voice.
he iconic Rocket Tower at the National Space Centre is home to Blue Streak and Thor Able rockets, as well as the Gagarin Experience, Apollo Lunar Lander and real Moon Rock.
The semi-transparent tower, which is clad in high-tech ETFE “pillows”, was designed specially to house the Centre’s largest artefacts, including the Blue Streak and Thor Able Rockets.
here are two pieces of Moon rock on public display in the UK and you can see the larger of the two at the National Space Centre. There is less than 1,000kg of Moon rock on earth, which makes this small artefact one of the most precious items you will ever see.
This Lunar sample was collected by Apollo 17 Astronaut Gene Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon, from a large fractured boulder near the rim of Shorty Crater.
Tranquility Base: The Moon Walk
SPOILER!!: description
Create your own postcard of you jumping on the lunar surface to owl home!
The area is set up with staff around to assist you as you strap into the special "seat" that will help you feel as though you are jumping on the Moon. After jumping around for a bit, the photographer will take your picture and then, using the magic of muggle technology, make it look as though you really are jumping on the Moon!
You may elect to wear one of the provided astronaut costumes if you desire or take the picture as is.
OOC: if you want to manip or draw a picture for this you may do so for possible extra credit.
Tranquility Base: Astrobotic Mining
SPOILER!!: description
The ultimate lunar challenge to see how much moon rock you can load using the digger before their time runs out.
A large arena with glass walls that prevent any entry stands before you. Behind the glass is a replica of the look and feel of the Moon's surface with various funny looking robots placed about it. After speaking with one of the muggles manning the area, you are handed a remote control to one of these replica Astrobotic Moon Diggers that you can then maneuver around the area to dig and scoop up "moon rocks" that must then be brought back to the appropriate labeled space station (Player 1, Player 2, etc) all the way to the right of the arena. You have 5 minutes to try and collect as many moon rocks as possible. If you do a stellar job then maybe, just maybe, the one of the muggle staff will let you take home a moon rock.
which is not a REAL moon rock, but a fabricated one that is...er...almost as good as the original?
Not too into mining? You can also try your hand at using another remote control to land the Lunar Lander on the Moon!
Tranquility Base: Astronaut Training
SPOILER!!: description
Think you've got the stomach to be an astronaut?
Brought in special this year, the ATX (Astronaut Training Experience) is where you can put yourself to the test and see if you have the right stuff to become an astronaut. Immerse yourself in the exciting world of today’s astronauts with realistic astronaut training. You will hear first-hand from a veteran astronauts, experience a space shuttle mission simulation and perform hands-on space exploration activities.
The area is set up in a rather extravagant manner with two activities simulating a capsule out of control and experiencing weightlessness respectively.
Round off your visit with a meal under our amazing rockets in Boosters restaurant. Serving a selection of freshly made and locally sourced sandwiches and snacks, as well as hot and cold drinks and our chef makes fresh soup everyday.
And of course don't forget to check out the Cargo Bay shop which stocks a full range of fun and interactive space toys, books, games and telescopes!
Checking his sundial watch, the professor gleefully announces that everyone is free to go about as you please...KEEPING CERTAIN THINGS IN MIND! And mentions something about living long and prospering, but by then you are probably already off and running!
OOC: please make sure you have posted in this thread departing from the Astronomy classroom BEFORE posting in here. It doesn't matter if you are just joining us now. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come!
There will be a very short homework assignment following this lesson, but consider this (with the addition of homework) the same weight as a final.
I will leave this thread open for several days (at least until noon on November 4th GMT) NEW CLOSING TIME SET FOR: Friday, November 7th at 10 pm PST and, while I hope to be around to have Airey interact with you all...I may be a bit scarce as I am preparing for a flight to America on Wednesday. I will be around to answer any questions you may have, however, so please feel free to shoot me a VM or PM if something comes up!
NOW GO HAVE FUN BEING WIZARDING CHILDREN TAKING OVER A MUGGLE LOCATION AND SANCTUARY OF SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY!
Was Lottie still noticing their classmates? Was she getting all distracted by them? That'd have been a pity considering how easy Lex tuned them out. With a mind like hers, the others might as well not have been there. Today, she was not Head Girl. She would take no one to the bathroom if they needed help (nope so good thing the Headmistress wasn't here to ask AGAIN) and she would watch out for no one but herself and Lottie. Responsibility was the fastest killer of freedom and the Gryffindor wouldn't let that happen. Not even.
"That's where you're lucky, even if you don't actually go out there. You could still try out this stuff whenever. I'd visit you way more often if you have one of those," her finger pointed to the orb that simulated a spaceship out of control, "at your University." Not saying she wouldn't already visit often enough but yeah, if it had one of those it'd be something to schedule in during her training.
"That first!" She said, pulling on Lottie's arm lightly as a means of tugging her toward where people would be strung up. This then the out of control ship could be done.
Lex stood waiting for them to have her all strapped up and ready to go with Lottie. How did this actually work.....? She watched curiously while she waited for Lottie to be ready too.
Okay, other people (except those with the instructions and important information) were now invisible. Sort of.
BEAMING. She is lucky. Very lucky, indeed. But she was getting slightly anxious at this particular topic because she wanted it all to begin already and she still had a bit of time in her hands. "No, unfortunately, none of them do. But there are other facilities that do. I reckon I could take you."Wink. Lotus could meet a friend of a friend of a friend of a cousin or something and surely something could be arranged. For the real training, that is. Actually, even Airey could help with that. Because, let's face it, what the general public could experience was nowhere near the real training thing. Yet it was close enough. And relatively cheap, too.
Okay! She allowed her best friend to pull her towards the weightless part of the experience and let the trained person strap her up. "I'll race you to the top?" They probably had to go slow anyway.

"Hi!'' But Adi got distracted by the things on the pillows. "What are those?" He shuffled off excitedly to the first one. "A rock of some kind...'' Obviously from outer space. How cooooool!
This was like a trip to Sugarplums or Honeydukes for Adi. Except of course he couldn't eat the rock. Hehe.

Halting his footsteps, Gabe turned, blinking owlishly at the source. It was the Hufflepuff prefect boy, who'd sat with him in muggle studies....along with a Gryffindor he'd seen in lessons and around school. Gabe remembered him as....Benny. Yes, that was it.
".............H-hello." His face colored accordingly. Were they...um, joining him.....now? Logically....that did sort out the buddy system drama...He wouldn't have to worry about some girl trying to walk with him...After further thought on the matter, Gabriel decided to go along with these two. Besides, the one boy was a badged person...and that was a good thing, apparently.
Fumbling in his bag....he retrieved his camera....and offered his companions a small....MINISCULE smile. Miniscule because Gabe didn't really smile....No, he himself didn't know why he didn't.
"........" There was also an urge to fill the silence with conversation...but Gabe didn't know what to offer.....QUICK! A SCIENCE FACT! "......Harrison Schmitt was the only scientist on the Apollo 17...when that...rock was collected." Just off the top of his head...
...because scientists were important in all aspects of life...and him simply being a geologist mattered not. Surely, he served a great purpose.

Did Benny and Gabe know each other? Maybe an introduction would be nice, just to be on the safe side. "Gabe, this is my best friend Benny. Benny, this is shy dude Gabe.'' Hehe.
.........................
Ohh! Gabe knew his stuff! How cool. "Do you know if Astronauts always collect rocks when they visit the moon? Are you a science nut?'' Adi always had questions. He was now examining something called the Vostok Capsule. Wasn't this the first man made thingy to go in space?
The Puffer climbed in excitedly. "This thing is so awesome! I'm going to be the first guy in spaceeeee!''
Benny heard Adi call out to someone and turned to see another boy from their group that was coming along in the same direction obviously going to the same place. Someone his friend obviously knew in some degree. "Hello..." he said, greeting the boy he now knew as Gabe. The one who decided to join them for their tour which was no problem for the Gryffindor.
It wasn't hard to see that the other boy was on the reserved side much like himself. What was with Adi and getting involved with shy people in contrast his bubbly personality? Did he attract them as opposites attract or something?
But it also seemed Gabe had a science interest, the Gryffindor listening as he gave information on the rocks in front of them. Space rocks from the moon! That was a plus, having Gabe with the information, Benny was guessing Ravenclaw. It was almost like having their own private guide in the space center. "Just don't forget me when your famous..." he gingerly teased as he looked around the outside while Adi was inside. So many things to see around here and even Benny was quite curious about what he was seeing.
After tossing her cookies all over the bushes in the parking lot, Goldilocks was feeling ever so dismayed. She didn't like the portkey business and would rather be eaten by a bear than do it again. And she thought they were hard to handle! These people were worse and she wasted no time slipping away from the man in charge and the freckle faced boy as soon as possible. She was fine on her own, thank you.
Now what to do first.
Twirling a lock of hair around her finger, Goldilocks did a little twirl and surveyed her options. So much to see and not a threat in sight! Maybe it was turning out to be her day after all.
Spotting the cafe, she brightened up considerably. Surely she should fill her tummy now that she'd emptied it of the breakfast she'd had that morning. Did they have porridge here? HM? She skipped her way over and decided to find out for herself.
While he waited for Hady, Thornton saw Maddie skip into the cafe. He wrinkled his nose, thinking that she'd been acted rather oddly. And it looked like she was alone which was just no good at all, not at all.
He thought about going up to her, when Hady sat down. He'd... just keep one eye on her, instead.

He hadn't asked her about it which she liked, you know him not prying into her business and all. It was sometimes rude when people just asked straight up though she understood it wasn't intended that way now that she was older. Twisting the cap off her ginger ale bottle she took a small sip before placing the bottle on the table.
"My parents were killed in an auto accident when I was still little. My parents now are actually very close friends with my birth parents so it's like I'm with family still." Hady tried to explain a little bit without giving him the entire story which she was sure he didn't want to hear. Not that she'd tell him everything just now anyways. Not wanting him to feel badly like most people do she offered him another smile adding quietly. "I don't remember them all that much so you know it's okay and all."
Sipping his ginger ale, Thornton was feeling much more settled. "Oh." He said, frowning, as she told him about the auto accident. "I'm really sorry to hear that."
He ripped a piece of cake off and chewed it thoughtfully. "It's good that someone who knew them could take you in, though." He wasn't sure what else to say, and so just put more cake in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
If he was chewing, he couldn't be talking, you see.
Swallowing, he tried to change the topic. "After we eat, where should we go?"

Lottie really shouldn't have been making promises, because it only added to the list of amazing things she would get to do only after she'd left the Castle for good. She could see it now. No 6 am wake up, no scheduled meals, no 'don't hex that guy or it's detention'. None of that lame stuff, only the more amazing things like Auror Training and uninterrupted time with her friends whenever they weren't all off doing things to make themselves happy in the long run. "I'll hold you to it and maybe I can take you looking at those holding cells we wanted to sneak into when we went to get our Apparition Licenses."
They could have done it too but the test took a little longer than they'd expected and things seemed a little busy and chaotic at the time anyway. Least now they couldn't get arrested for snooping? Bright side.
"Definitely!" Racing that is. How did one even race while having no weight? They were about to find out. "On three?" She asked, latching on the the bars closet to her. That was usually the general consensus when having races. "One...two....THREE." Having not anticipated just what being weightless felt like, the Gryffindor tugged a bit too hard to pull herself up and found herself in the odd predicament of floating up some as a result of the force she'd used. "Whoaa..." It took her a moment to right herself in her suspension before she tried grabbing at the next bar.
This...this was definitely weird and would be harder than she thought BUT SO COOL!

Jeez. JEEZ. Nothing was gonna stop him from feeling sick, was it? When could he start learning to apparate? Because he wanted to get that over and done with as soon as possible, thanks, and not have to deal with this nonsense that was the Portkey. It was sickening. Literally. And he had no desire to go and get some food just yet.
Besides, from what he could see, there wasn't a sign of a McDonalds or a KFC or even a Subway! MAN.
People were moving on, however, so, after taking out his entry ticket and handing it to the ticket officer, Grayson entered the National Space Centre and took a look around. SWEET! Now, the real question was: where should he go first? One of the Tranquillity Bases? They seemed to have some of the best activities. Especially that moon walking one. He was ALL up for pretending that he was actually on the moon and whatnot.
YEAH. He was gonna go over THERE and wait in line to get his astronaut picture taken.
Moon walking? Really how cool is that. That's exactly what she wanted to do next. Walking was just what she needed to do after sitting on the planetarium and watching that movie. So moon walking it was. Perfect exercise. Maybe. "Grayson! You wanna do the moon walk with me?" She waved at him as she walked up to the line.
You know since they were both in line and right after each other so yeah. They should just try out the moon walk together. After this she was so getting something to eat. Them she would have to come to the moon walk to work that off.

As Kace was waiting to go to the moonwalk he noticed Lux was there. "Hey Lux!" he smiled. He chuckled at Norah getting his name right the first time but getting it right the second time. "Yes it is Kace..." he couldn't help but laugh a little bit more. He knew the little gryffindor AJ joined them. Hey you know more the merrier. "I mean I can go first if any of you are hesistant to go. I can be the test subject.." he offered. He also saw Cinna and Grayson going to do the moonwalk too. He gave them a friendly wave.
Hmm this attraction seemed popular. He began to walk into the attraction and saw the machine being used. It was quite awesome to say the least. He went up to the front and saw they were gonna wear astronaut suits afterwards and they will take your pictures to make you really look like you walked on the moon.
"Hey guys this is cool! you get your picture taken to let you believe you actually walked on the moon.." he pointed to some samples. Well what was he waiting for? He walked up to the front and stood there waiting patiently to be put in the harness to experience his first moon walk.

"No porridge?!" Goldilocks was terribly sad as she chatted with those working at the cafe, eyes big and full of the sads. Surely the bears had gotten to the porridge first as revenge and now she'd have to try something else even though nothing at all looked as perfect as porridge would. *SIGH*
Why on earth would they have porridge at a space center? That's just ridiculous. Way to call attention to yourself, you--"Hmph." Goldilocks didn't like that little voice in the back of her head. It was her time to explore and that Maddie person really should respect that. The constant nagging was getting ever so annoying, didn't she know?
Deciding that her empty belly simply had to be filled, the girl settled on some soup. Apparently it was a special of the day. She carefully took a cupful after paying and eyed it warily. Then dipping the spoon in, she had herself a taste.
*!!!!* JUMPINGJUNIPERSTOOHOT!
Goldilocks proceeded to spit the soup she'd tried out, a pained expression on her face. How was that soup suitable for anyone?!

And she never breaks a promise. So this will actually happen one day. The excitement! Three months to go! "It's a deal!" Yes, that day had been a chaotic one for the Ministry and not because of them. Though it did take a while for the department to get everything in order, they could so blame them for their lack of time to pursue other interests. Like checking out those holding cells. It all worked out in the end, because all she'd wanted to get out of that day was her license.
Also, Lex, keep a low voice when discussing apparition, yeah? Muggles all around.
Lotus nodded. On the count of three. Yes! One... two... this count she made, not the portkey one, figures. Three! And... man, this wasn't as easy as she thought it would be, you know. Getting to the top fast was going to be rather difficult as one floated about. Kind of. "Remember the anti-gravity lesson?" Did she remember how to move in that environment? Same goes for this. Only they truly got to experience it with magic.
That yearbook boy, Gabriel was it?, was probably having a blast in this trip, he was very into science and would be fascinated to know how Muggles made this work.
Enough about him. The seventh year finally managed to keep a steady pace, and was moving up! All the years of climbing trees... made no difference, because she had gravity on her side back then. "Slow and steady, but still fast." Hear that, Lex? Just like the anti-gravity lesson. Yup.

Just as he had managed to get in line and was getting himself prepared for the task -- which included making sure that he looked good -- the boy heard someone calling his name. Really? Was he missed ALREADY? He understood that he was a very missable person but really, who was--
OH SNAP! Cinna!
"'Sup, Cinnamon Roll," he said, giving her the sup nod. Was she joining them on the moonwalk? GOOD CHOICE. Did he want to do the moonwalk together? "'Course! What's better than one awesome person doing the moonwalk? TWO awesome people doing the moonwalk." Or pretending that they were on the moon. And look at him complimenting BOTH of them. Wasn't he so NICE?
"C'mon, let's put on the astronaut costume and make it look like a proper moon landing." He WAS near the front of the queue now, which meant that it was their turn pretty soon. BRILLIANT!
Oh hey! Look at KACE! Grayson smiled and gave the dude a 'sup nod in return. We see you, Lecium.

She caught up to him and grabbed his arm. "Zander! You wanna watch the alien movie with me?" Because she didn't want to watch it by her she'd rather watch it with a friend. They were friends right? Right. She steered them over right in the middle of the room. Great spot. She sat down "So what do you think of this place so far?" It was awesome right? This place was really cool and not a boring Hogwarts classroom.
Before he could go any further, he was yanked back by someone who grabbed his arm. HEY? What was that-- Oh. Cinna. That definitely explained things. What was it with girls and yanking arms, huh? And how come they felt it was the best way to get things done. Zander would've probably, maybe stopped if she had just said something. Well, probably. Maybe.
He followed her towards the middle of the theater-- not like he really had a choice-- and sat down right next to her. Before the film started, he turned to her and nodded. "Yeah, it's pretty neat!" he chuckled and leaned back a tinsy bit in the process. These chairs were actually pretty comfy believe it or not.
And uh, hopefully Cinna wasn't one of those movie talkers. Ahem.
But knowing Cinna, she probably was.

Beaming at the Slytherin. Dude, where have you been? It had been like forever since she seen him. Shaking her head. "Nothing much, dude. What's up with you?" Been anywhere else in the museum yet? She would suggest the super awesome planetarium show. It was pretty awesome.
Of course they were awesome. They were Cinna and Whitlock. So yes awesome they were. She nodded and laughed. Perfect! "That's exactly what I was thinking Whitlock. Awesome and awesome equals awesome to the extreme!" Haha. Who else could pull off getting awesome in three times in one sentence? Only her!
Spotting Kace and Lux and their little group, she give them a happy wave and a big bright Cinna smile. Turning back to Whitlock, she nodded. "Sounds. Awesome astronaut Whitlock!" Those astronaut costumes looked heavy. Good thing she was a big tough and strong girl. Ha. What even the excitement was making her insaneer

Space...Space...Space...SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
The astronomer could hardly contain himself as he studied his guide map real quick. Not that he really needed to study it per say. He knew this facility like the back of his right hand. Perhaps his left as well, but considering his dominant have was his right he had had plenty of time to study it while writing all sorts of reports and assignments...research grants....
SPACE!
Deciding that he would head to the astronaut training area a bit later - he had yet to see the exhibit he had had a personal hand in creating in full swing and wanted to save the best for last if possible - he quickly began calculating the best course to take through the National Space Centre. One that would limit the amount of doubling back he did so as to maximize his time here and -----

Angel quickly tapped the Professor on his shoulder since well that would be the polite thing to do and to make sure he hadn't forgotten about her. "Where we going first?" Angel wonder if the Professor remembered she wanted to stay with him.
"SWEET SOLSTICE!" he jumped, shaken entirely from his Vulcan mind meld like concentration. "Miss Valentine...you startled me." And just like that his strategy had gone entirely out the window, into outer space, and sucked into a black hole.
Wait...WE? As in....together? Like...her plus sign him equal sign them?
"I...er...." NO TIME TO BE AWKWARD, FLAMSTEED! SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY AWAITS! "TO THE MOON WALK, MISS VALENTINE!"
And with a triumphant, and dramatic, thrust of his finger in the general direction of the Tranquility Base area, the professor took off with what could only be described as giddy man!flailing.

Time to be strapped in. He walked up to the contraption that was gonna let him walk on the moon. He smiled towards the people who were gonna help him. He sat down in the seat as instructed and felt himself get strapped in. He smiled and was prepared for this. He saw the man starting the machine and he was kind of nervous but then he was lifted up and then he felt the sensation of walking on the moon.
It felt slow at first. It felt like he was going in slow motion. He felt silly walking on the floor. Man this what astronauts really walked like? It was kind of cool. He kept like jumping up and then slowly back down. One small step for man one giant leap for mankind! He was smiling at his friends and waving to them. After he was done he was brought down and unstrapped, he felt it was awesome.
He left the chair and smiled and asked the others, "Alright who is next?"
Before he could go any further, he was yanked back by someone who grabbed his arm. HEY? What was that-- Oh. Cinna. That definitely explained things. What was it with girls and yanking arms, huh? And how come they felt it was the best way to get things done. Zander would've probably, maybe stopped if she had just said something. Well, probably. Maybe.
He followed her towards the middle of the theater-- not like he really had a choice-- and sat down right next to her. Before the film started, he turned to her and nodded. "Yeah, it's pretty neat!" he chuckled and leaned back a tinsy bit in the process. These chairs were actually pretty comfy believe it or not.
And uh, hopefully Cinna wasn't one of those movie talkers. Ahem.
But knowing Cinna, she probably was.
Okay, so maybe she should have just poked him on the shoulder or something to that affect. But she didn't. She would probably never be like that either. That just wasn't Cinna like. Yep not her. If she ever did that it wasn't her.
She smiled when they sat down. Wow these seats were comfy. The professors should totally get seats like this for there classrooms. They were amazing and totally good for your back. Heck the professors could do with seats like these to. Totally suggesting these chairs to them.
We Are Aliens! "Aliens? Zander what do you think?" She wanted a honest opinion of life on other planets. Creepy when you thought about it. And the title of the show. What if we were the ones who were the Aliens? O_O. Weird.
Anyway was this about to start soon? Zander better not put his arm around her. She'd totally bite his arm if he did. Yes she would friends or not. But she knew he wouldn't. He was cool like that. Yep. Yep.
She would so end up talking a serval points in the show she could feel it questions mostly. Ones that Zander better be able to answer. He should know this stuff.

Though it did take a while for the department to get everything in order, they could so blame them for their lack of time to pursue other interests. Like checking out those holding cells. It all worked out in the end, because all she'd wanted to get out of that day was her license.
Also, Lex, keep a low voice when discussing apparition, yeah? Muggles all around.
Lotus nodded. On the count of three. Yes! One... two... this count she made, not the portkey one, figures. Three! And... man, this wasn't as easy as she thought it would be, you know. Getting to the top fast was going to be rather difficult as one floated about. Kind of. "Remember the anti-gravity lesson?" Did she remember how to move in that environment? Same goes for this. Only they truly got to experience it with magic.
That yearbook boy, Gabriel was it?, was probably having a blast in this trip, he was very into science and would be fascinated to know how Muggles made this work.
Enough about him. The seventh year finally managed to keep a steady pace, and was moving up! All the years of climbing trees... made no difference, because she had gravity on her side back then. "Slow and steady, but still fast." Hear that, Lex? Just like the anti-gravity lesson. Yup.
Deal.
That sealed everything now didn't it? Solid plans for later on that she'd fixate on rather than pay attention during her lessons. That seemed about right. Just the other day she spent Potions class thinking of the places she'd hit once the summer got here. How did anyone expect them to still be learning? Might as well had let them graduate early and be done with it. Just saying.
It never occurred to her that 'Apparition' wasn't an everyday word for the Muggles around them. She didn't make a habit of speaking with Muggles so her censor was hardly ever on. What would they be doing eavesdropping anyway? Rude much?
Oh but of course! That lesson! Brilliant Lottie!
Lex gave a firm nod, trying to remember what that had been like. Admittedly it did help a lot...so did that lesson with Botros the other day. It wasn't actually underwater despite the illusion but there was no gravity then too. She got this. Just like Lottie, she was slowly but steadily making her way up, pulling with just the right amount of strength this time. At one point she lost her grip and found herself floating about...was it floating....? So...weird....she didn't even KNOW but she caught hold of the bars again and you know what? Before long, she was at the top but she hadn't been looking to see if Lottie beat her there.
"Made it!" She glanced down at the space they'd struggled through without weight to get up there. "Don't reckon it'll be very easy getting back down." Oh but look, she could see the orb machine from here. "Think that guy's about to lose his lunch." She said pointing. "Ready to try that out??"

He left the chair and smiled and asked the others, "Alright who is next?"
Norah watched in awe as Kace was strapped in to the seat thingy, waving back at him. This was SO COOL. She couldn't wait to try it out, so when Kace asked she cried, "Ooooh! Can I go next?" Not waiting for an answer, she stepped up to get strapped into the machine. You snooze you lose, folks.
The second year smiled and said "Thanks" to the muggle workers strapping her into the contraption. If all muggles were like her mum's family they were very big on manners. Or maybe that was just mums in general. MOON WALK. RIGHT. Trying not to bounce, Norah sat as still as she could until she was safely contained. Astronaut or not, falling out and breaking her head open was proooobably not the best idea.
Her grin grew even wider as she began to float. She couldn't find the words to describe the sensation, but the weightlessness she was experiencing made her feel even bouncier than ever. She let out a "Whooop!" loud enough to sound excited but not so loud that Professor Flamsteed could get cross with her for being disrespectful to the muggles. That's right, she had common sense once in a while. Norah took another big step, and migrated upwards again. If this was astronauts did all the time, she would definitely consider that as a career option, yep.
And then her turn was over. Man, that passed quickly. Norah smiled and thanked the muggles once more as they removed her from the moon walk thingy majig, and grinned at her schoolmates. "That was TOTALLY wicked!"

They both seemed really understanding about his...uh, anxiousness...and Gabe shifted on his feet, snapping a second picture before pocketing the camera. Notebook and quill out, now....for some light notes....So, when he scrapbooked this later, there would be entries to match the pictures.
...and questions about moon rocks. Sure, Gabriel knew about moon rocks.
"Uh, it's hard to say about, erm, other countries...." Pause. "....but all the successful Apollo missions produced lunar samples.".....This was a good subject to get him started on...."....and the GENESIS ROCK....came from the Apollo 15 mission."
....and some more writing.....

Angel had startled him, did that mean he had forgotten what was said in the classroom when they were about to come, she was sticking to him like glue and there was nothing the Professor could do about it, she looked at him as she waited for him to decide where they were going. So far everything seemed to be good.
Angel then heard where he wanted to go and then she saw some flailing oh dear Hooksteed wasn't coming out was he. Saying that if that guy did come out she already had a story ready for anyone, he's on a day trip from a care home. That would totally be believable right.
Angel followed the Professor to the Moonwalk area. "You going to show me how it's done Professor?" Angel asked and was she allowed to record it so she could show all the class?

Man flail flail man flail flail man flail...
With a grin on his face that would make any witch or wizard believe that he had been hit with about a dozen Cheering Charms, he stopped when he had reached the Promised Land and manly squealed before turning his attention towards his Gryffindor companion.
"Oh it's quite simple really, Miss Valentine. You do not need to do anything but stand still as the muggles strap you into the seat. Then, well, you simply jump about. It's quite the surreal feeling and don't feel too embarrassed if you end up kicking and flailing your legs a bit. Your moments will be slowed down due to the simulation of the Moon's gravity," he explained softly as one of the muggles working at the area came over with a precautionary helmet for each of them.
"I hope you have no qualms about my going first," he said eagerly, not exactly waiting for her to give him the approval he deserved and already making his way towards the vacant chair. He promptly sat down in it and waited for the muggles to strap him in - although he was perfectly capable of doing it himself. "Miss Valentine, are you familiar with the first words spoken on the surface of the moon by humans?"

Norah was down, and AJ gave her a big smile. Awesome. She knew that she liked the girl from when they worked together in History of Magic. The older girl seemed really friend. AJ shook Lux's hand. "Nice to meet you, Lux." So she already knew Angel. "Well, if you think Angel is cool you are going to LOVE me," she teased.
"It's exactly like a dance off. Wanna have a go?" Would they all have to take turns? AJ was just about to volunteer herself to go first when Kace piped up. "Awesome man. Show us how it's done." It was always better to have somebody else go first. That way you had an idea of how things would work.
There were a few more people that joined the ranks. It was an older girl and guy that AJ had seen around in classes, but that she didn't know on a personal level. Her attention went back to Kace when he broguth up pictures. "Oh, I have to get me one of those." AJ had totally picked the best attraction.
A familiar voice caught her attention. Look, her sister and the professor showed up. Was AJ hanging out with him? How odd. "Hey Angel, hey professor. You guys are just in time for a moon walk off!"
With a grin on his face that would make any witch or wizard believe that he had been hit with about a dozen Cheering Charms, he stopped when he had reached the Promised Land and manly squealed before turning his attention towards his Gryffindor companion.

"Miss Valentine, are you familiar with the first words spoken on the surface of the moon by humans?"
Angel was a bit worried about the Professor and was getting ready to explain to the muggles that he was just so excited because he had never been anywhere like this, she would prepared to answer any questions that anyone had about the crazy Professor.
Angel then suddenly saw AJ and gave her a wave. "I don't mid Professor." Angel wasn't really sure this was safe but she would give it a go when the Professor had finished. She put on the helmet anyway. "Oh I know that." Angel beamed. "Neil Armstrong said one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind." Angel looked down at the floor and thought about something. "Professor is it true he made a mistake?" Angel had heard he had somewhere. "Apparently he was supposed to say one small step for a man and one giant leap for mankind." Angel wondered how he would have forgotten the a.

Ahh. Gabe was brilliant! Brilliant people were totally cool. "You're a genius,'' Adi said, examining the rocks again. He hadn't known about the information Gabe had shared but he was fascinated. Now he really wished he could go to the moon. Maybe Flamsteed could take them there on a trip next. Hehe.
.................................
Him? Forget about Benny? Yeah, right. The Hufflepuff was about to jokingly state that "he'll try not to" but he remembered that Benny was more sensitive and the reply might make him feel bad. "Not a chance,'' Adi replied instead as he continued his examination of the interior of the Capsule.
.................................
Okay, he was done examining stuff here. Time to move on! "Where to next, Benny?'' Adi asked as he climbed out of the capsule.
Toby had always been fine with portkeys, just the same as how he'd never encountered problems travelling by floo powder; it probably helped that he'd spent his entire life in like perpetual motion or something. He walked with the rest of the group to the entrance, handed over his ticket and headed inside.
Neat. So neat. And so many high-tech things, which was a BIG change from the sort of old school feel of Hogwarts. Toby took his time to gaze around at everything he could see from where he stood, half-listening to Airey and figuring (or hoping) that Soph was paying more attention than he was. 'Cause, y'know, they wouldn't want to miss the portkeys back or anything. That would be a real tragedy.
And then they were freeeeeeeeeeeee. Toby looked down at his guide map properly to find an activity to hit first, though he wished he could go everywhere all at once.
"Let's do the astronaut training thing," he said to Soph, who was still right there beside him. "That sounds like it could be fun. Then maybe we could try the moonwalk." It all meant moving about. Toby wanted to visit the planetarium at some point too, but was immediately drawn to the more active, uhh... activities first.
There was no time to lose, so Toby nudged his Ravenclaw counterpart and gestured his head in that direction, starting to step that way.

How about them NEWTs, Lex?
Anyway, apparition to muggles might just make them think about ghosts, so no real harm done. And she didn't think anyone was truly listening since they were pretty much on a higher ground.
It was fun, you know? This. She never got that anti-gravity spell from Airey and she might just ask him before leaving Hogwarts, because she could climb trees this way. She'll try not to let the spell hit Marshmallow, though, her cat might not enjoy the feeling of not being pulled down to Earth. The thought made her realize she hadn't tried to climb with Marshmallow, and that was something she needed to do ASAP, she couldn't have a cat that wasn't fond of climbing. Hopefully not. But if the cat was scared of actual marshmallows fighting back, then who's to say trees wouldn't cause a similar reaction, hmmmm???
Made it! Lotus looked up, entirely distracted by the previous thought and just reaching the top. "You won!" The Gryffindor had Lottie's distractions to blame for that. "It'd be easier, you'll see." It was easier to go down than up, mainly because they were already used to the weightless feeling.
And that proved to be true as Lottie reached down on the yellow tubes and stood back on the floor soon enough. It was... difficult to stand, to say the least, but she nodded once she was fine and ready to go for some adrenaline-filled activity. "Yup, ready! Come on!" she said, pulling Lex along.
One at a time, though. "You can go first, you won the race."Wink.

One at a time, though. "You can go first, you won the race."Wink.
Funny enough, in all her plans of an early graduation, it never occurred to Lex that once the year was over there were still NEWTs before she would properly be free, so nope, no thoughts of exam, just the freedom that came after. Freedom kinda like this right now from this spot looking down at everything else. It was almost like flying her broom again, something she hadn't done in ages thanks to some idiot no one could find anyway.
Oh and she'd won? Neat! Might have meant more if she'd noticed but a win was a win and Lex had copied Lottie's movements in order to get herself down in a timely fashion. Still plenty to do before they had to leave.
Alexa let herself be pulled over to the orb that spun in all directions while her body readjusted to the fact it now had to carry her weight again. This weird feeling wouldn't last, yeah?
Heeeeyyy she could go first. No arguments here. There was a grin for Lottie before she allowed the person manning this post to get her settled and strapped in. Right before the machine started she gave Lottie two thumbs up. Soooooooooooo ready for this. It had looked plenty epic when they were high up. No chance she'd be disappointed. None.
The spinning was slow at first, possibly to get her ready but then all of a sudden the movements became sharp, twisting her this way, shifting her that way until everything was moving so quickly that the most she could see where blurs of everything around her. Which way was up? Had she turned the other way now?? AH-MAAAA-ZIIIING!!!
By the time they finally ended the 'ride' of sorts and helped her out, she couldn't be sure what she was looking at but there was a wide grin plastered across her face. "That was so unbelievably epic, you gotta try, like now, gooo." Good advice right there while she ensured whatever she had before coming here didn't decide to make a sudden emergency exit. Throwing up wasn't an option. Ever. Just give her a minute.
