The Astronomy classroom is exceptionally ordinary this crisp autumn day, which may set you on edge as nothing is ever as it seems when it comes to Professor Flamsteed. And you are probably correct. The desks are arranged in their usual semi circle to help created a more personal and inviting environment and upon each desk is a familiar looking orange item. The early afternoon sunlight shines through the windows to give the room and the pleasant breeze through the open windows may, on occasion, blow an autumn leaf into the classroom.
In the front of the classroom is the professor's desk sitting before a massive chalk board that reads, "Please do not eat, cut, or otherwise manhandle the pumpkins." Professor Flamsteed is currently leaning against his desk reading over something important looking in a manila folder with furrowed brows and pursed lips.
Did you remember to use the lint roller on the small table outside of the classroom? It was there next to the sign that reads, "Not to be used as a brush for your hair" and has the signature of a former student in the bottom right corner.
So come on in and have a seat. Class will begin shortly.
⌦Lesson Progression
▸ question 1 :: what connections are there between Halloween and astronomy?
▸ question 2 :: what can we expect to see in the night sky on Halloween?
▸ mini activity :: preparing your pumpkin using Punktumus
▸ activity :: constellation carving time!
Class will officially begin in approximately 14 hours from the time of this post. RL happened and I unfortunately was not able to finish this post to meet my 14 hour deadline. I'll post as soon as I can after getting a good night's rest. Thank you for your patience <3 please keep chit chatter to a minimum.
This lesson has officially started! Please do not announce your character arriving late and just pretend like they have been in class all along. You are free to jump in any time and should use the lesson progression links to keep up.
ALSO, and this is my fault for not saying this sooner, please keep in mind that this is NOT your character's first IC lesson - it is October when this takes place, so a month of lessons already under students' belts
Lint roller, USED. Though Sophie wondered just what Flamsteed would do if she bypassed it and entered the room with lint or hair on her robes, she abided by his rules and entered the classroom, immediately strolling on over to her usual seat by Tobes. Even though SHE hadn't sat there her entire Hogwarts career, she couldn't remember a time when she wasn't glued to the Hufflepuff's hip in Astronomy. It was just their class.
Her best friend got a smile and a playful poke to his side before her attention was first caught by the orange pumpkins on their desks - okay, that wasn't terribly abnormal - then directed her attention to the man at the front of the classroom.
And she giggled.
"Hi, professor," she greeted her best friend for one day last term, amusement apparent on her features as she recalled that day. "Nice day, isn't it?" Autumn was LOVELY, it was, but the comment was more of a forced remark of small talk to keep her composure. Alllllllllways funny, it would be.

Telescope...check.
Parchment and quill..check.
Benny sent Angel a small smile of acknowledgement when he noticed her gaze falling in his direction. Surely she would understand if she knew, but then she already understood the fact that he didn't always sit with her. The fifth year tended to try to split up his time with either of them to avoid any look of favoritism in any way. He didn't want a repeat of the first year he had both when Adi had felt out of it.
He almost questioned the thanks but caught on a second later. The sentiment was for staying with him when he wasn't in the greatest mood. The Gryffindor got a better taste of his best friend's mood in the less than jovial tone he w as greeted with which wasn't quite up to snuff with the usual Aditya Rehman. "You're welcome," Ben answered simply, offering one of his rarer smiles to the other boy in hopes to offer some comfort for him.

See, Bambi found this whole greeting the professor when entering the classroom thing quite strange. During her first lesson, she'd dismissed the odd behavior as a one time thing. The second time it happened she kind of just stared at the students all mystified. Third time she'd politely ignored it, and by now it was just weird. He was their professor! He wasn't her pal from Herbology, or that pretty girl with the horrible cuticles who looked like she could use a smile OR a cute boy with a crooked grin and blue eyes. He was a professor! 'Do not speak unless spoken to' policy, at least for the beginning of the lesson.
Hmpf.
All this was running through Bambi Fleming's mind as she absentmindedly used the lint roller all over her robes, forgetting herself until a cough from behind hinted at her to get moving. The blonde placed the roller back and strode into the classroom, took in the pumpkin and smiled at the professor - all teeth and pained facial muscles because, really, this was just unnatural - before picking a seat at random somewhere in the semi-circle.
Taking out her parchment and quill, she neatly wrote the date and class name on the top of the roll and busied herself with plaiting her hair neater until the lesson began. Her equipment and class book could stay in her bag for now, as she'd noticed most professors don't even use the books in the classroom.

Janelle was lucky. Her sister had told her a little something about each of the professors she knew. Her tip for Astronomy was to be sure to use the lint roller before entering the classroom. So Janelle stopped at the little table and took a moment to de-lint herself from head to toe. When she was finished, she walked into the classroom.
With raised eyebrows, Janelle noticed the pumpkins on each desk. What pumpkins had to do with Astronomy, she could not imagine. "Guess I'll find out soon enough", she thought to herself. Spotting the Professor, Janelle headed toward his desk. "Hello Professor Flamsteed. My name is Janelle Guidry and I'm very excited for Astronomy class." After that, she made her way toward the desks and sent out a general greeting. "Hello everyone."
Seeing an empty seat next to Zhenya, Janelle said, "Hi Zhenya!. "I hope you don't mind if I sit here." Then she eased into the seat and dropped her bookbag on the floor. Shouldn't be long now.

Once Cilla had removed any traces of lint from her clothes, she entered the classroom and with a wave said, "Hello, Professor." Cilla spotted Zhenya and smiled and waved at her as she sat down.

The lint roller was currently unoccupied, so Bleu grabbed it and rolled her robes. She didn't really get why they had to lint roll themselves before they came in but every professor has the quirks. As she finished, she placed the roller back in its spot for the next student.
She walked into the classroom, gave the professor a small smile and nod, saying, "Hello, Professor Flamsteed!" She then picked a seat close to Lux but not right next to her. She didn't want to be a bother. She pulled out her wand, textbook, parchment, and quill, placing them on her desk in an orderly fashion. She folded her hands in her lap and waited for class to begin.

Pumpkins.
That's the first thing Grayson noticed once he'd delinted himself and entered the classroom.
Pumpkins, man.
The thought of Halloween DID come to him and he kinda wondered what that had to do with Astronomy. Unless they had to carve a solar system onto these bad boys, he really didn't see the connection. Nope. None sprung to mind. The only other thing that did spring to mind was the idea of being able to eat them in class. Or make pumpkin juice out of them.
In short: anything to do with food he was down for.
"Hello, Professor Flamsteed." Nod for the Astro!man as Grayson went to sit down on a seat that was a safe distance away from Flamsteed and his ability to jump onto a desk with more enthusiasm than a puppy being given a bone. Though, given the arrangement, he doubted there were any safe seats in the classroom.
"I've had a telescope for years, my mother and I used to study the stars all the time. I love seeing what the heavens have to offer." Margo said perking up once again. She was loving her life, every single moment of it since she had come to Hogwarts.
That's when Margo noticed that Adi wasn't himself, he seemed distracted, or sad, or mad, or something. She wasn't sure, but she didn't like whatever it was that was messing with her friend. Margo became a little territorial with her friends....that's probably what landed her in Hufflepuff in the first place, but that's okay, it was the best house out of the four by far.
"Aditya" Margo said saying his full name for the first time ever. "What's wrong." She knew there was something bothering him, she just hoped it wouldn't interfere with the lesson and get them in trouble.

Kate walked to Astronomy class with a string of questions, none of which she actually planned to ask. For starters, what did it mean to 'FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL Astronomy'? Yes, Kate had read the classroom rules. They all seemed pretty ordinary until she started to wonder what feeling Astronomy meant. Then there was a suit they couldn't. What suit? Nevermind all that. She'd reached the classroom door and apparently, she was supposed to use this lint roller before coming into class.
Whyyyyy? And use the lint roller on what? Because the professor hadn't said that part, so technically, Kate could have lint rolled the chair. She bit her bottom lip as an amused smile appeared, but then she grabbed the brush and did a once over on her robes before returning it to where it belonged and walking into the room.
Ohhhh, that suit. Heh. No, Kate wouldn't touch that suit. That'd be just weird.
Kate eyed the pumpkins for a second then looked back at the professor. "Hello, Professor," she said, and then she took a seat in a desk with a cute little pumpkin on it. She wouldn't touch that either just for good measure.

The lint roller always confused him. After rolling it down his arms and the front of his robes Kyroh stuck out his tongue as he tried to do his BEST to get his back. What if there was a BUNCH of lint on the back of his robes but he couldn't even see it? What did he DODO!?!? Without even noticing it the third year slowly began to turn in circles as he attempted to get his back lint. "HI.........Professor-" Can't talk, trying to get the rest of the lint.

Agatha was in no mood for chit chat or any form of socialising at all. Since she had skipped her first lesson already, she figured she would have to drag herself to the next one. If ever her Head of House and/or uncle found out she was skipping all of her lessons, she knew she'd be in big trouble, and that was the last thing she needed.
But all those people... acting like... people. Yuck.
The Slytherin narrowed her eyes as soon as she stepped into the classroom. Yelling kid shouting stupid things like they were padawadas or whatever those silly Muggle terms were. Stupid Muggles. Stupid Wizards who wanted to be Muggles. Stupid Muggles who wanted to be Wizards!!! Stupid people!!
ARGH.
Bad mood. Agatha was in a very bad mood. But she sat down near one of the windows nonetheless.
Was the lesson finished yet or WHAT?

Ever since she had gotten the cat, there was always cat fur on her robes. Penelope had her own lint roller. She pulled her lint roller out of her pocket and rolled it over her robes, rolling over some areas a few more times to get all of the cat fur off. "Hello, Professor Flamsteed."

It looked like Kyroh was having trouble trying to get his back with the lint roller. Penelope went over to Kyroh, lint roller in hand. "Hi Kyroh. Hold still for a moment, I'll do it." She rolled her lint roller over Kyroh's back a few times to get off all the lint. "Okay, you can move now." Did she have lint, hair, or fur on her back? She had never really thought about that.
Pumpkins. What were they going to be doing with pumpkins? Whatever it was, she just hoped it wouldn't involve throwing them around the room or anything dangerous. This was going to be the lesson where she didn't freak out or get hurt. She could do it. All she needed to do now was have a positive attitude. For once she was going to have a good experience in astronomy class.

Zhenya was sitting in her seat, staring at the pumpkin. Which was stupid, really, because she wasn't blinking. Neither was the pumpkin… but the pumpkin didn't have eyes to stare at her with. Therefore she had no contester for a staring challenge. What was that for? How was a pumpkin related to Astronomy? Were they going to make pumpkin pasties, or pumpkin juice before their lesson? Did she miss something?
And then she heard some familiar voices next to her, and her head moved towards the first one. She blinked and felt how dry she had made her eyes by not blinking, so she blinked a few times to re-lubricate them.

Janelle! Jasmine's sister! "Hi Janelle, of course you can sit here," she said to her. "How are you finding Hogwarts? Congratulations on being sorted to Ravenclaw, by the way." Same house as her sister. Zhenya was sure great things would come from Janelle.

And there was a very familiar voice, one she had heard recently. She looked up at her friend from Liverpool and waved back at her. "Hi Cilla," she said in greeting.

The Gryffindor didn't even hesitate when he saw the lint rollers. Instead, he picked one up and rolled his robes down as if it was something completely ordinary and reasonable, which really it wasn't. But he didn't even second guess it this time. Just did it, as it was habitual. And he respected Professor Flamsteed.
Anyways.
Astronomy. It was Lottie's subject. Oh, man. This would be weird. Suddenly, he wasn't feelin' all too jazzed about this... But still, he made his way into the class room and gave his Professor a small salute despite. That's what Professor Flamsteed, right? The saluting. "Hi, Professor, are we carving pumpkins?" Hardly related to Astronomy.... Anyways. Time to pick a seat. Always the hardest part of any class, unless you were considering potions and runes because those ones only got harder and harder. Seats were hardly the problem. ANYWAYS, sitting. Right. That's what he was going to do here. OH, Agatha looked like she needed some company. So yes. Agatha, sitting by her and the window and giving her a small smile. Mhm. Hey.

There were THREE lessons Gabriel Banner was ALWAYS fully prepared for: Astronomy, History of Magic, and Potions...So, naturally, he'd arrived just a little early. Lint rolling was still a little daunting...as he felt like he never really got it all off. He did his best, however, and proceeded inside.
.....Was he DREAMING?!.....Had Christmas come early?!
THERE WERE PUMPKINS EVERYWHERE. All the desks had one...and...Well, Gabe immediately gravitated towards the front, grabbing a seat closest to Professor Flamsteed's desk. Whatever the lesson was today, Professor Flamsteed had his full, undivided attention. Yes. In fact, he didn't even need to know subject matter or how the pumpkins would ultimately be used. Gabe just felt better with seeing them.
Yes, he was...weird. Whatever.
"Goo-..." He'd been about to greet the man, cheeks flushed with his excitement, but Flamsteed was...reading something. Well, Gabriel didn't want to pull his focus or interrupt. So...he'd could wait.

He was NOT late... he was just, not early, ahem. He'd been busy stuffing his face in the kitchens before class, and as a result lost track of time, it wasn't HIS fault the class was all the way up at the TOP OF THE CASTLE, now was it? Psssshhh.
Nevertheless, Zeke grabbed the lint roller, looked at his robes, shrugged, and ran it over the front really quickly... THEN he slipped into the room. "Hey Professor," he greeted brightly before claiming an available chair. Yep yep... he should be earlier next time. Whoooops. But say what? Pumpkins? WHYYYY?
Zeke eyed it, then picked it up, and after ascertaining that it was JUST a pumpkin, he put it down.

Dylan entered the astronomy classroom, almost passing by the lint roller. He backed up, remembering the cat hair that he had all over his robes from Ginger. And the fact that the sign said they ought to use it. Picking up the roller, he began rolling it all over himself, and, after doing it again just to be safe, he gave himself a look over and thought he did a pretty good job.
"Hello Professor," He greeted with a smile as he passed by Flamsteed's desk to find himself his own empty spot in the semi circle of desks. Setting down his shoulder bag, he saw a bit of orange out of the corner of his eye and he turned in his seat to see before him on top of the desk, a fancy looking BRIGHT orange pumpkin. OH. The fifth year glanced around himself, noticing the other pumpkins on the desks. Why hadn't he noticed them when he had come in?! He must be losing it. Ah, well. Leaning back in his chair, he waited for the class to start, staring at the pumpkin, wondering what it'd have to do with the lesson. Hmmmmmmmmm.
Damien had debated and debated all morning. Was he really going to do this? He didn’t want trouble, he was just trying to… Be himself, and those robes. Those God-awful, disgustingly unfashionable robes were an affront to Damien Anderson-Belfort’s entire being.
So it was not his robes, but a suit he used the lint brush on, careful to get any tiny speck that might have attached itself to the grey tweed of his suit jacket and pants. He cleared his throat and walked into class, his hand coming up to adjust the perfect knot on his navy blue tie. “Morning, Professor Airey.” He said, taking the seat next to Nemo, and grinning at him. "Pumpkins... Righteous."
“What up, dude.” Damien said, fist bumping Nemo, before nodding to Aegis, his other blond dorm mate. “Sup Dane,” Did they like the duds? Of course they would, it was a beautiful suit.
Anxious energy was bubbling within him despite his cool demeanor, would he get in trouble for this? Get kicked out of class? Detention like Rorie with the… Slime? He hoped not, he wasn’t asking for trouble, he just wanted a little individuality.

And of course, he was sitting next to Damien...who she still wasn't sure how she felt about. With his friendship with Rorie--and--yeah, past THINGS...hmm. She did shoot him a smile though. Hi hi.
"Aye, Professor--" she waved and smiled brightly as him.
She raised an eyebrow at Aegis--"Padawan Aegis? Then I'm Padawan Eden." If he got to be one, SHE wanted to be one, TOO. Because...you know...Star Wars was...only her favorite thing in all of the UNIVERSE. She smiled at the new Gryffindor, though, and waved at Toby and Adi as she walked by them...and even ruffled Lux's hair. She was thinking of sitting next to Lux--when she noticed Aj.
AJ...who was dating...Adi, right? Or was she getting them all confused? Why wasn't she BY Adi, though? That was the weird thing--and Eden--Eden plopped down next to her. "Hi, AJ!" she said cheerfully, giving her a smile and a nod. "How's is going?" she asked as she pulled out her notebook.
Nemo noticed Eden and waved back. She seemed very happy to see him. With her usual cute smile on her cute face. But he couldn't think about her being cute. Nope. Not anymore. But he could still smile and wave.. And maybe look but not touch?
He turned to Damien, who was totally his best guy friend at Hogwarts so far. Bumping fists back, which was a new greeting for him. "Hey.." He looked at his friend's clothes. "We're allowed to wear something other than the Uniforms?" Were suits okay? Or just with Flamsteed? Cause if so Nemo would wear a nice suit over this uniform any day.

"H'lo, professor," Marigold said, passing him after de-linting with a smile. She found her own desk and waved/smiled over at Sophie and Toby. Hi. Friends. With a quick glance around, she prodded the pumpkin in front of her. Were they making Jack o lanterns?
Robes were lint-rolled, she had her material for the class. The smell...perfect. Could Astronomy not be anymore amazing than to have PUMPKINS!!
When Paloma entered the classroom, she was a bit too gleamy about the delicious dirt, yet future-sweet smell of the pumpkins. Were they going to carve them? Were they going to talk about pumpkins? They were about to find out. With a grin, she bowed her head to Professor Flamsteed to greet him. Her voice wasn't exactly clear those days, that's why she saved the words out. Once sat down, close to Eden, she looked at the giant pumpkin and tapped her fingers against the desk, trying to sound off to Bach.

*Walking into the classroom he stopped and saw the lint brush. Really? He had to clear the lint off of himself before he came in? Really!? Taking the brush he made sure to clear away any lint that had made it's way on to his robes. Once he was done he set the brush down and saw the paper with other students names on it. Was he meant to sign it after using the brush? Just in case he wrote his name down quickly and found a seat. Nodding a hello to the lint brush professor he found a seat. Setting his things down he waited for class to start.*

One good thing about being in Gryffindor was that it wasn't that far of a trip the Astronomy tower. So Heather made pretty good time and got to class on time, despite having gotten a late start. Even having had to stop and use the lint roller.
"Hello, professor," she greeted, going to her seat and sitting down. What were the pumpkins for? Also, not touching the thing was proving to be hard. Because that's exactly what she wanted to do.

The lint roller was used, once again, to pick spiders off the wall, and then Dot was prancing into the Astronomy classroom. She made a beeline for the desks before veering off to go and look at the professor. Just to look at him. In his suit. Maybe bother him a bit, too, if he bothered to look up at her and pay attention.
She wanted to talk to him. Obviously.
Also she wanted to drop a pumpkin out the window and see it splat. Was it possible he'd notice if she accidentally-on-purpose dropped hers out the window? Dot averted her eyes from watching the professor to gauging the distance to the window.
Puck was delinted of course as she made her way into the Astronomy classroom. Puck glanced at a grumpy looking Agatha and Zander sitting next to her and raised her eyebrow…she didn’t want to have to have a replacement Co-Prefect so soon into the term…the girl looked like she was ready to impale everyone in the classroom if they so much as talked to her.
Puck made her way further into the room and immediately sat near Eden and Paloma. “Hey” she smiled at the two girls and gave Professor Flamsteed a nod as if saying she was going to try and do a good job this term…well more than that she wasn’t going to end up in a closet this term unless…no, that just wasn't going to happen.

Norah inspected her robes for lint even BEFORE she got to the entrance to the Astronomy tower, so she was all pumped up and ready to roll that roller all over. YEAH! She did a little wriggly dance as she ran the lint roller over her SEEMINGLY lint-free robes before setting it down and entering the room with a big 'ol grin for Professor Flamsteed. The third year gave him a little salute and "Hi, Professor Flamsteed. Hope your holiday was out of this universe." She kept GRINNING and even GIGGLED a little at her own joke, 'cause she had been waiting allll summer to use that one.
Flouncing to a desk right in front, Norah pulled materials from her bag and laid them on the desk, still wriggling excitedly because Astronomy was required to be cool. Like planet-smashing and real live rocket ship cool! With nods and grins towards Mari, Adi, Lux and Kace, the thirteen year old turned back to face the front and interlaced her fingers all prim and properly to show the Professor she was ready to ROCK AND ROLL.
