Astronomy with Professor xX_hang_me_higher_Xx <3

Hello Professor. And students.
I'm new to Hogwarts.
I can't wait to learn about the sky!

*Ghaleon comes up to the Astronomy tower and looks around, trying to figure out what if any stars everyone is currently looking at before turning to the professor smiling broadly*

Hello Professor, just started today.. or tonight. I hope to learn a lot while I'm here.

"The castle looked eerie at night, but she had to hold her head high and rush to the Astronomy tower as soon as she could. She passed a ghost on her way, telling her not to run in the halls, and after apologizing, slowed to a walk. Once out of sight of any one else, she sprinted faster to get to class. She came to a screeching halt as she found herself in front of the stairs to the tower. Opening the door that lead to the observation room, she searched for the professor.

"Ma'am, sorry I'm late, I had lost track of time while studying in the library. My name is Fantasy and I'm new to the school." She took a deep breath and continued. "What is it that we are doing at the moment?""

Oh, new students :]

Hello there, and it's fine. I'm not giving a penalty for being slightly late. So don't worry about a thing.

What I request that you do, the new students who recently came in, is to use the telescopes and map out different stars and planets.

Also Sparrow Puppy, that's correct! No need to be nervous giving answers in this class, I don't bite~!

"Heading over to the nearest outlet to place her telescope, Fantasy began to adjust the height and position the lens to a place in the sky she could recognize a cluster of starts. From where she stood she could see the distinct line of three stars making up Orion's Belt. Looking down at her text book, she muttered as she read. "Orion's Belt is an asterism of Orion, constructed using Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka stars." She plotted them on her parchment, and assigned each star name accordingly. From there Fantasy checked her scope again, angling it differently and finding more constellations.

Approximately 15 minutes later a rough outline of major constellations, big named stars, and planets where scattered around her paper. It had been tedious work looking into the sky, dotting a few things down, then double checking in her book what star or planet she had just drawn, but she wanted to be correct over anything else. Looking over everything she had done, erasing mistakes completely, she stood from the stool she sat, angling the telescope away from herself so she could move, and handed her assignment to where the teacher stood.

"Here Professor, I hope this is correct. Though I must say, this is a lot harder than it looks.""

Thank you Fantasy, and don't worry- I bet you did fine :]

Demi watches as Fantasy expertly fiddles with the telescope and plots the stars and planets. After a while, she remembers she's supposed to be doing the same.
Taking out some parchment and a quill, she then adjusts her telescope as best she could - though it did seem a blurred as she looked through it - and found Alcyone. She noted it on her parchment and proceeded to mark down Merope, Electra, Caleano and all the other major stars in the Pleiades cluster, continually referring back to her book for the star names.

Ghaleon takes a deep breath, this wasn't going to be any easy class he didn't really know a whole lot about the stars just yet. Looking through the telescope he slowly marked down a few stars. Looking back and forth from his book trying to figure out which one they were he had marked down. Riigel, Algjebba, Mintaka and a few others in the Orion constellation.

Ghaleon looked absolutly baffled how it was possible to map out all these stars. It had to take years to get this all written down to be put into books.

 

[-Our Little Wonderland-]

Oh no, you don't need to pm me your work. It's quite alright to just give it to me here :]

 

[Synchronised Mosher]

After some time, Demi was sure she had found and correctly marked at least a majority of the major planets and stars. She looked at her work proudly and presented it to her teacher.

I think I'm done with my work, Professor.

Thank you

*She took the paper from Demi and put it on top of a pile of parchment on her desk*
