Astronomy Lesson :: Terraforming [ a brief introduction ]
The sun has long set and the light of the full moon is juxtaposed against the dotted canvas that is the night sky. Although the moon's glow is brilliant, one's eye cannot help but be drawn to a few other luminescent dots in the sky. Are they stars or planets? Only those that know how to distinguish between the two will be able to tell you that answer.
Stepping into the Astronomy classroom, you are hit with what feels like a brick wall of icy cold air that burns your face and causes your teeth to chatter. Rest assured that as cold as it may feel, there is no chance for you to get frostbite or catch a cold. As you make your way towards the semicircle of desks - the usual formation for Astronomy lessons to help create a more intimate setting - you may have to battle the occasional dust devil or terrestrial tornado along the way. These are relatively harmless and more of an annoyance than anything else as they carry NO risk of sweeping even the smallest of first years high into the air. Just be sure to hold on to your belongings. The air itself was tainted in unpleasant waves of stench reminiscent of someone setting off a series of dung bombs every few minutes. But perhaps the strangest of all is the manner in which you move about within the classroom. You feel much lighter on your feet and your usual steps cause you to lift higher up into the air than usual. Not too much that you will knock your head against the ceiling, but enough that you could potentially jump double your own height - perhaps even a little bit MORE than that if you really tried.
When you do finally arrive at your desk you find a little souvenir waiting for you. The blackboard, positioned across from the semicircle of desks, has the following instructions written upon it:
Quote:
The space blanket is yours to use should conditions prove to be too cold for you.
Take out a quill and write your FULL name and year on the piece of parchment provided.
Once you have done so, give it a tap with your wand.
The parchment, enchanted by the professor himself, will turn into a sturdy wood name plaque when you do so. Don’t worry, even the first years and those not skilled with magic will be able to manage this little trick.
Speaking of the professor, you can find him leaning against his desk with his trusty pet rock by his side, his own space blanket utilized in a peculiar but perhaps not unexpected manner and his own head protected by a Bubble Head Charm.
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 find a seat, class will begin shortly.
⌦Lesson Progression
▸ question 1 :: why do we study astronomy?
▸ question 2 :: what can be done to make the classroom a more comfortable environment?
▸ question 3 :: should the human race terraform Mars? Why or why not?
▸ main activity :: "SPACE GLOBIALS"
Class will officially begin in approximately 14 hours from the time of this post.
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.

Hady had gotten herself back into a rhythm with jumping on and off of the Slytherin's platform. Her attention had been on anyone else that was trying to attempt to take a green ball from her house as well as anyone from her house that needed someone to pass a taken ball to. Even given the situation before and the continued shouting or whatever was going on she felt as if her team were still doing a decent job.
That proved to be correct when Professor Airey called an end to the game as well as announcing her house came in second place. Not to bad really but Hady was positive they could've gotten first had it not been for things going on. Anyhow at the shout of 'Class Dismissed' the brunette jumped down from the platform for the last time and made her way to the side of the room where her desk had been pushed to. Putting all her things away she slung the strap of the bag over her shoulder. "Thanks for the lesson Admiral Airey!," she called out over her shoulder just before walking out the door.

Henric was so stunned by llia's outburst, he went still for a second. Zeke, what did you say to make her mad like this? Wait...what? Nobody called his girlfriend phycho! That wasn't nice. Then Zeke began to act...well himself again. Henric knew the guy was like that since the beginning but llia didn't. Honestly, it would not end well if Zeke kept on being "ungentlemanly" towards her...nope. Not just him alone, he was a little upset over llia's abrupt behaviour too. Henric would never sink beneath their level and he would act with decorum if necessary. Thank goodness for Professor Flamsteed blowing a whistle at them, Henric honestly wanted to break this two up...by brute force if he had to. They weren't fighting over the ball anymore, it was the battle of who got the last say between them. Henric rolled his eyes at Zeke, he had nothing to say to the guy. He would rather have him leave before Professor Flamsteed gave them both a detention. Henric wouldn't want Zeke and llia ended up in the lovers lair...for merlin sake...no. Henric remained silent until his professor declared the class to be dismissed. He just stood there, staring at llia. "I'll wait for you outside class...okay?" he asked her after a moment passed. He didn't say anything more and grabbed his schoolbag before exited the classroom. Henric's face was stoic still.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
The game was done and Ravenclaw had brought third. That was disappointing but at least it wasn't final place. Rachel felt bad for Hufflepuff especially since Henric was apart of that House. Possibly they would get a win in another class. She gathered her belongings, ignoring Ilia and that other unruly Gryffindor. She patted Henric on his as she passed him. ''Your girlfriend should learn to control her behaviour even more now that you're a student leader," she told him. She honestly meant it. Ilia's behaviour reflected badly on him in her mind. Or did Ilia think she was free to do as she wished because Henric was a prefect? Either way, shouting was the wrong way to go about handling things on both students' end.
"Good bye, Professor. Thank you for a wonderful first lesson."She smiled at the Astronomer before looking around for Haddie.
Whew! That had been pretty fun actually, not at all dangerous like how Kitty had first feared. She had even managed to steal two balls without being injured or even stopped. Ravenclaw hadn't won, but what mattered was that they all had fun, right?
Kitty skipped towards the exit. "Good Bye Professor Flamsteed, that was awesome!" Kitty waved and smiled at the professor, her usual shyness in front of grown ups completely gone for the moment. Then she skipped out of the low gravity classroom, wondering to herself if the DADA lesson would also be this fun.

Tenacius managed to get to the top of the red ball hill and he's gotta say, the view is gooood. Except those two squabbling squirrels over there....-- oh wait one was the guy who helped to score yes!
But the Professor calls out the winners aaaand...
"WE WON!!!" Tenacius hollered from the top of the red hill, fist pumping the air several times before yelling out the victory cry "GRYFFINDOARRRRRRR!!!" sliding down the red hill and doing final somersault into the air before floating gracefully down like a capeless superhero.
"Thanks for the lesson Professor Flame-On!" Yeah he just got a nickname. Hooah!

She just watched the entire game after stealing back the ball from the Hufflepuff snatcher.... and beamed happily. Gryffindors did very well and... THEY WON!! Ava threw her fists to the air and jumped. This was a pretty interesting and fun activity. And yeah, she didn't miss the drama between Zeke and Ilia. It was entertaining though.
"We don't get any present for being the first place, Professor?" The young lioness asked. "Interesting class by the way. See you later, Professor!"

That. Had. Been. Awesome.
Sure, they hadn't won, but they hadn't been dead last either, so at least they were walking away with some of their dignity. As Ariadne returned to the floor, she made a promise to herself to find SOME way to defeat those Gryffindor boys. She didn't know how. She didn't know when. She didn't know where. She'd do it, though!
Apparently there had been some kind of drama, because the professor was letting two of the students have it. Ariadne had no idea what had happened, and she was ready to go now that the game was over. She ignored the drama and instead turned to the professor with a big grin. "Thanks for the super cool lesson, Professor!" she said. She grabbed the rest of her belongings then made her way to the door.
"Good bye, Professor. Thank you for a wonderful first lesson."She smiled at the Astronomer before looking around for Haddie.
Haddie didn't say anything at all to the professor. She was still a bit miffed at him for stealing back the two balls she'd rightful stolen. He had never said anything about only being allowed to steal one ball at a time. Only that they were allowed to steal other teams balls, and that they could only take one ball from the middle at a time.
She was very certain of that.
And of course it had been his house that benefited from the ruling. Bah!
Haddie collected her things and Penny's blanket and followed her best friend out of the Astronomy classroom. It was only when they were well out of ear shot of the meddlesome Professor, that Haddie turned to Rachel and grinned. "That was fun."
They didn't win, and Katherine was sure it was the fault of that Slytherin boy.
No, having fun wasn't important. If there was something to win, having fun never mattered. So she sulked, glared at the boy again, and only tried to put on a smile for the Professor, who turned out to be a good man after all. The activity hadn't been so awful in the end. It was even safe, jumping and all, though she was too proud to ever admit that.
"Thank you for the lesson, Professor," she called, and got out of the classroom quickly to catch the idiot who cost them the game.
Jaemin had kept his grip on the big Gryffindor's arm right up until he let go of the ball; with a satisfied smile he had let go, and settled on the floor below the platform. The game was over already? That was so sad...
And they had come in second. While first would have been preferable... second wasnt bad, and the tiny boy had done his part. He couldn't have done much more, right? Lightly he patted the floor with his palms before standing and moving to collect his things.
Before he would leave though... he had QUESTIONS.
"Professor?" He had approached the man quietly, and very nearly reached to touch his arm before remembering the suit meltdown. "The gravity thing in here... is that a spell I could learn, maybe?"

Saying his farewells as student departed, the occasional Vulcan salute thrown out as well, the Astronomy professor waited for the PDA duo to explain themselves. Or at least accept defeat.

...he had experiments to do.
But he supposed he could wait another moment or two before accepting their sincere apologies.
"It is indeed," he grinned. A personal invention, actually, thanks in part to his background in Experimental Magic & Research. "It is a bit of advanced magic," he advised, and not something a first year could master but that did not mean that practice would be entirely fruitless. "Stop by my office sometime and you can practice."

She was back on the ground finally, sadly, really. It was such a fun class! All of the running and jumping and the floating all of it had been extremely pleasurable to the little bundle of awkward that was Melbourne Johanson. “Professor Flamsteed thank you for such a fun class!” She beamed up at her Professor who was like the height of a yeti compared to her…heck, anything was a giant to her.
Everyone was.
“I had a lot of fun today…I was wondering are we going to do more advanced Terraforming activities later in the year?” She asked excitedly. Maybe they could take a trip to Mars?....but wait what if they got stuck there? That wouldn’t be good. But she didn’t bring that up she was just excited for the class today. With that last question she started to head towards the door.

Couldn't students just check the teenage angst at the lint roller and not...well...NOT BE LIKE THIS IN HIS CLASSROOM BECAUSE HIS HEAD WAS ABOUT TO SPIN OFF INTO ORBIT!
"And I care not if you both are the last two people on Pluto, which isn't even a planet," Airey retorted, arms flailing in the air as if smacking away any floating teenage hormones that may infect the classroom. And no, Mr. Zeke, he did not care nor want to even think about who was coming on to who. BECAUSE IT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IN HIS CLASSROOM TO BEGIN WITH! Or had the young man not learned his lesson after last year? "This behavior will not be tolerated in my classroom again, understood?"
If not, there was a perfectly good dungeon he knew that could help illustration this for the both of them. No problem.
Adjusting his tie, the professor addressed the rest of the class. "Our final standings are Gryffindor in first place, Slytherin in second, Ravenclaw in third, and Hufflepuff in fourth," he declared. "Well done everyone. Class dismissed!"
Now...about these two... were they through with...whatever this was?
OOC: Class dismissed! Thank you all for coming and participating <33
Sir Suits-a-lot was at raising his voice again. Seriously? He was the responsible adult that was to be their example? And he was STILL picking on Pluto!? Seriously, what did Pluto ever do to him? It wasn't its fault that it was a dwarf! You sizest! Despite being an immature sizest, it seemed that the raging AstroNut was not going to bestow detention for her indiscretion. Good enough......"Understood, Sir." She accepted quietly with a nod and polite bow. She wasn't apologizing because it was totally jerk face's fault. He started it.
SPOILER!!: Henric :O

Stoic and indifferent was typically her face......not her Puff sweetheart's. He just stared at her and.....it unsettled her. His question, she replied by nodded silently. Any triumph she felt from beating the lion and defending her pride, fidelity, and honor was instantly laid low. All her anger was overshadowed by concern for him. What did she do wrong? Her expression threatened sorrow for the thought that she may have wronged him somehow, so she choked it up back into the expressionless porcelain mask that it typically was. She walked to collect her satchel so that she could see him without any further delay.
SPOILER!!: Rachel, horrible time lol

She was walking after Henric to see what was wrong and what she could do to fix it, when a certain little pain in the posterior marched her self important visage into the mix. What she chose to let come out of her trap though.....oh hell no. That's it. The rage that had been stayed by her concern for Henric, just amplified and rose again. Her pretty countenance held a flash of contempt and ferocity. She couldn't stop her feet from carrying her over to the girl as she glared down at the brat with the intensity of a provoked Ridgeback. "And little girls should mind sticking their nose where it doesn't belong, lest they be bereft of it." There were hexes for that, brat.
She was sick of pretty much everyone right now. Everyone but the one person who's opinion she actually did care about. "Chirp, understand. I don't really give a damn what you think." Her voice was cold and very much done. She had a lot inside that she was choking down still and Adi wasn't here to still the storm anymore. "You and anyone else who thinks that they can tell me who or what to be, who I should and shouldn't care about, and what I should and shouldn't do........can go to Helheimr and swiftly so! Don't forget to take your opinions, self righteousness, and judgments with you. Bugger off." She was over it and done with everything. Her mother, this kid, anyone who wanted to try and boss her around in whatever way, for whatever reason, could just take a hike. It was bad enough having to deal with her mother and the threat of arranged marriage, where did anyone else think they had the right? They didn't. She refused to tolerate it. No one was forcing her to be what or who they thought she should be.
She grabbed her satchel, turned on her heel and stormed out of the classroom. She had no more time for this, Henric and Henric alone could bother her right now.

Carl was not even sure what was going on. One minute he was debating about Mars, next he was doing an activity and now class was dismissed. He had not contributed much to Hufflepuff's platform and was ashamed to hear that her House came in fourth.
He walked down from the platform and made his way to his desk. After packing all his things away, Carl swung his bag over his shoulder and said, "Thank you for the lesson, Professor Flamsteed!" Then he walked out of the classroom, determined to go over what he had learned in the lesson.

Why was she still touching him!? "Because you can't have the ball and I don't give up." Seriously, just because something was gross....it wasn't going to stop her. She was too tenacious for that and despite the outfits she wore for Henric, she was NOT a girly girl.
Ugh. He had to go and roar. Lions with their big mouths. There went Professor Flamsuits....raging. Affection!? Oh no....this was the polar opposite. Hell would freeze over. Eeep! He threw the ball in his hand and she ducked though her hand would not leave that ball. The ball connected with Zeke's head , but where she would normally have felt bad....she just felt better watching him get some form of retribution.
CAME ON TO HIM!!!!!????? This....this was why she currently wanted to hex him. How dare that prat!? "Not even if you were the last male on Earth or Mars." Hisss. Disengage.....but she still wouldn't submit. She wanted nothing to do with him other than beat him in the test of wills. No sense backing down at the last moment and he was too smug. She couldn't let him win. She was 100% hell bent on that last moment of personal victory.
If it was so dumb, why wouldn't he let go either? No, it started as the ball....then it went beyond. She could have let it go and walked away without a grudge until he had to say she wanted to hold his hand. That was like signing a death warrant. Regardless.....it did feel better to rip it from him. Some small form of victory and control in her repressed world. Once she had the ball, she chucked it back onto the green pyramid with a blank expression.
She wanted to hug Henric with all of her might and apologize for her public display of aggression, but yet again....someone was in the way of that. An angry astronomy professor to be precise.......
He was over it. Crazy girl be crazy, and Henric was clearly WHIPPPPPPPED... like, he couldn't even talk some sense into her? Talk her down from the ledge she was howling on. In the name of Airey Flamsteed, Sweet Solstice - though he would never say that out loud.
"Not if you were the last female in existence," he countered, because as HURTFUL as her words were, he knew he was gods gift. She was obviously a crazy sociopathic psycho anomaly that STILL wanted to touch him regardless. He was faultless in all this.

Now...about these two... were they through with...whatever this was?
... he was conscious of the fact that Flamsteed might burst like a .... super nova??? ... but proceeded to approach him nonetheless. He understood, really, he did. After serving detention with Maggie he KNEW how much of a nutcase the Professor was when it came to 'public displays of affection' ... and this is where he HAD to set things right. "Sorry Professor," he started, sincerely, "won't happen again, but to be fair I was a victim in all of this, those were not my affections and she wouldn't stop touching me, I actually kind of feel violated." Yes? Yes? Because that CRAZY was not Maggie, and that was that. NO affections. He was just a chick magnet, which was something he really couldn't help. He really was a victim, sighs for life.
BUT something he could help, was never rocking up to class again. That could be HIS service to the school. Mmhhmm.
But he supposed he could wait another moment or two before accepting their sincere apologies.
"It is indeed," he grinned. A personal invention, actually, thanks in part to his background in Experimental Magic & Research. "It is a bit of advanced magic," he advised, and not something a first year could master but that did not mean that practice would be entirely fruitless. "Stop by my office sometime and you can practice."
Yesssss. A bright smile burst across Jaemin's face and he bounced a bit on his feet. He was gonna learn how to mess up gravity! He didn't focus very hard on the whole 'advanced magic' thing, because how much could that matter when he was clearly very good at magic stuff?! Even if he couldn't get it right off, he would get it eventually. And then, ohhh... just imagine all the fun things he could do.
"I'll come see you sometime soon then!" he chirped, holding up a hand and fumbling a bit to do the Vulcan finger thingy the professor's rules talked about. Still didn't understand it, still couldn't quite make his fingers go the way they were supposed to, but as with all things... effort counted, right? "Bye professor! Thank you!"
And with that, the boy bounced himself right out the door, humming excitedly. He was gonna learn advaaaaaaaanced magic.
Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.
So the Game was Over?
Noooooo
Tory really wished the game wasn't over, even if he only played very briefly and then spent the remainder of it pretending to fly off in his own little world. So many leap and bounds were made by the young boy. So often were his hands extended out as if they were wings.
but now they were once again restricted by Gravity.
What was he to do with himself. He looked at his hands then starred at the ceiling which was once closer. He then starred at the Professor. Truly this was the closest he's ever been to flying (without help from a Broom) and it was all thanks to that man. Tory grabbed his school bag, slung it over his shoulder then walked up to his Head of House and embraced him in a Hug form the side.

"Not if you were the last female in existence," he countered, because as HURTFUL as her words were, he knew he was gods gift. She was obviously a crazy sociopathic psycho anomaly that STILL wanted to touch him regardless. He was faultless in all this.
... he was conscious of the fact that Flamsteed might burst like a .... super nova??? ... but proceeded to approach him nonetheless. He understood, really, he did. After serving detention with Maggie he KNEW how much of a nutcase the Professor was when it came to 'public displays of affection' ... and this is where he HAD to set things right. "Sorry Professor," he started, sincerely, "won't happen again, but to be fair I was a victim in all of this, those were not my affections and she wouldn't stop touching me, I actually kind of feel violated." Yes? Yes? Because that CRAZY was not Maggie, and that was that. NO affections. He was just a chick magnet, which was something he really couldn't help. He really was a victim, sighs for life.
BUT something he could help, was never rocking up to class again. That could be HIS service to the school. Mmhhmm.
Also though, yay for Gryffindor winning?
Of for the love of Merlin...
Not that Airey actually wanted Merlin's love.
What?
TEENAGERS WERE GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF HIM AND NOTHING MADE SENSE.
"Mr. Zeke, enough," he barked exasperated at the Gryffindor. Although it was more like a yip as far as animal sounds were concerned. "And it would do you some good to release a bit of air from that ego of yours before your head exits the atmosphere." The latter said more quietly so that only the Gryffindor could hear, of course.
He glared at the pair of them again, vein now contained, but still eyeballing the both of them as they left.

Everyone was.
“I had a lot of fun today…I was wondering are we going to do more advanced Terraforming activities later in the year?” She asked excitedly. Maybe they could take a trip to Mars?....but wait what if they got stuck there? That wouldn’t be good. But she didn’t bring that up she was just excited for the class today. With that last question she started to head towards the door.
"Of course," he nodded with a wink. "As announced there will be a field trip involving terraforming processes, just not of the extraterrestrial variety."
Abstract terraforming. When you squinted and looked at it sideways.

Even if he couldn't get it right off, he would get it eventually. And then, ohhh... just imagine all the fun things he could do.
"I'll come see you sometime soon then!" he chirped, holding up a hand and fumbling a bit to do the Vulcan finger thingy the professor's rules talked about. Still didn't understand it, still couldn't quite make his fingers go the way they were supposed to, but as with all things... effort counted, right? "Bye professor! Thank you!"
And with that, the boy bounced himself right out the door, humming excitedly. He was gonna learn advaaaaaaaanced magic.
"Stellar, I look forward to it," he saluted to the first year.

Tory really wished the game wasn't over, even if he only played very briefly and then spent the remainder of it pretending to fly off in his own little world. So many leap and bounds were made by the young boy. So often were his hands extended out as if they were wings.
but now they were once again restricted by Gravity.
What was he to do with himself. He looked at his hands then starred at the ceiling which was once closer. He then starred at the Professor. Truly this was the closest he's ever been to flying (without help from a Broom) and it was all thanks to that man. Tory grabbed his school bag, slung it over his shoulder then walked up to his Head of House and embraced him in a Hug form the side.
Moving to officially close down the classroom, teenage angst contained for now, the astronomer stopped in his tracks when SOMETHING was clinging to his suit. Body ridged and eyes wide, he slowly peered down at the first year.
Oh sweet solstice. WHAT had he DONE to deserve all this?!
"Mr. Spade?" he said with a deceptive calmness. "Get. Off. Now." He inhaled sharply through his nose before adding, "...please."
OOC: I will officially close this thread before I head to bed

Unaware to how deceptive the Professor's Calmness truly was. Tory did exactly as the Professor asked. The Grin on his face still very much apparent. "Mister Professor, sir!" Torrance managed to muster up saying. "Thank you for helping me Fly today!"
The young lion shook his head his Fro bouncing about atop him. He would definitely be writing about this to his Dad. He adjusted the Bag over his shoulder once more and scampered off to the exit. "Turning around once more. He remembered one more thing he had to say. "Thank you very much for the lesson as well." Yup, Tory wasn't going be scolded by Uncle Julien for being nice to his Head of House. No Sir, he was going to be on this Guys Good Side...if there was one? The Guy did like to yell a lot, it seemed.

Oh thank Merlin.
Counting down from 10 in Klingon in his head, the astronomer simply saluted towards the first year as he departed. He was not going to look down at his suit and freak out about how it was all wrinkle now.
Instead, he was going to politely incline his head to each of the remaining students as they exited. When the last student had left, Airey returned to his desk and scooped up Pebbles. With a few lavish flicks and swishes of his wand, the remaining enchantments on the classroom were removed and desks returned to their normal places. Giving everything a final look over, the professor left the room himself and locked the door behind him.
