Because. That would be awesome.

"... andddddd if it's not that... could we take pictures? Because. You know. That would look great on my nightstand." True story.

"That is a good guess, Miss Phillips," he nodded. Not THAT far off when one looked at the activity abstractly. "If you wish, we can take a few pictures before we move outside."

Oops. He had just given away a little bit of what they would be doing tonight. Heh.

SPOILER!!: Ella!

No guess from the Hufflepuff? Pity. But her imaginary beard was very lovely.

He leaned back in his seat and folded his arms. He kept silent as more students came in, and as Airey started talking. He was missing a tie? How sad. Everyone knew how important the man's suits were. He was probably devastated. And Jake sort of felt bad. Maybe he'd start looking for the tie.

Until then, though... there was class to be had. Jake turned his attention to the picture frames covered in velvet. What was behind them? They could be anything, really. "Are they pretty star pictures?" Because... that totally had something to do with him and Twinkle. Sort of. Not really. Oh well.

"Nope. No pictures of stars under here," he said with a grin. Not even close, Mr. Keller. ~~Sort of like you and those quaffles last match~~

SPOILER!!: Alyssa

While Miss Potter had not implied that rubbish of a subject with her answer, the term zodiac paired with constellations just always made him think of it. Which is why his right eyebrow was twitching in agitation. If there was ONE thing that drove him batty about astronomy it was that people all too often got it confused with astrology. That was seriously like comparing chocolate frogs to trolls.

Anyway, back to the girl's answer.

"Nice try, Miss Potter, but no. There are no constellation pictures under here," he said with a grin before moving on.

Eh, she was tired from all of her studying as of late. Yes, she had been studying! What of it?

And then he asked them all an opening sort of question. Raising her hand, she said, "Professor? Is it pictures of Peebles?" She supposed that it worked together because people had to take care of their stars the way that Flamstead took care of his pet rock. What? It TOTALLY made sense. Sort of.

PEBBLES! No, but he half wanted to give the Head Girl points for thinking about her. "No, but thank you for thinking of her, Miss Skylar."

Airey peeked his head outside the classroom once more to check for any students that may be sprinting down the corridors. Seeing no one - and noting the 'time' on his sundial - he shut the door and walked back to the front of the room and stood by the chalkboard.

Yep. Time to get this party started.

"Alright everyone, find a seat if you haven't done so already and get your quill and parchment out," he announced while tapping his wand against the chalkboard. "First, welcome back to Astronomy and thank you all for all your hard work on your star projects. I know each of them appreciates your diligence." He then hopped up onto the table holding the star jars and sat down on it.

"We discussed a lot last lesson thanks to all of you and the songs you shared, but the primary focus was about the misconception that shooting stars are actually stars." Just for a little bit of review. "Today's lesson will focus not on misconceptions, but on actual stars and I have a little surprise for all of you at the end." Which he had hinted at just a few minutes ago to Miss Phillips.

He then gestured towards the board once more, smirk still very much on his face. "Some of your classmates have ventured a guess as to what is in these frames and so far Miss Phillips has been the closest. If you have already guessed, you are welcome to give it another go. If you have not guess just yet please do. What is in these frames is something that stars and us have in common to a certain degree. You will need some out of the box and creative thinking to guess correctly." He paused again and winked towards Miss Potter. "The number of frames has nothing to do with what is in them."

OOC: this lesson has officially begun! Please do NOT post your student arriving after this post or else risk losing points for your house. Please just pretend as though you have been here all along!

Try to guess what Professor Flamsteed has hidden in those frames if you can!
This lesson will hopefully continue tomorrow around noon GMT+9.

Ella smiled quite often for that very reason. ~~Just saying.~~ The nod from Anya was a bit unexpected but Ella appreciated the gesture and gave a small nod and faint smile in return. Then Alec sat down beside her and she turned and BEAMED at the boy, her cheeks turning a little pink. There was no real reason for the blushing but hey, she did like the boy a whole lot so she'd blame it on that. Mhm. Grin! So they could tend to their stars if they needed to? This made the blonde very happy and she scanned the jars, noting where Little Treyen was amongst the twinkly ones at the front of the room. You best believe she'd be up there with wand in hand if the little guy started to go downhill. She had her eyes on him and any slight color change meant OSTS! Operation Save the Star! Missing tie? Hmmmm. Sounded like a case for ~~Nancy Drew~~ Ella Bishop! The fifteen year old smiled a little and casually started doodling a tie on her parchment, wondering where a missing tie might have disappeared to. Did they have washing machine monsters at Hogwarts too? Cause the one at her house ate all kinds of socks and she supposed there could be some kind of magical equivalent. Just a guess, though. Whatever was in the frames related to them and their stars? Hmmm... That didn't exactly help narrow it down now did it? The badger stroked her imaginary beard and tried to figure out just what might be there. No guess from the Hufflepuff? Pity. But her imaginary beard was very lovely.

Oh no she wasn't going to go on another wild goose chase for something else that had gone missing...or maybe just for fun...she would. Alyssa had to admit that she loved investigating stuff. Reward? She didn't care about that. Alyssa decided that she would keep an eye...and ear out...if she did see or hear anything about anyone seeing or possessing said blue silk tie. As for what was hidden behind those picture frames covered behind the black velvet fabric? Alyssa thought to herself. The professor had said that it had something to do with them and their stars. She counted the number of picture frames. 13. 'Okay it can't be pictures of the 9...I mean 8 planets in the Solar System because there are too many frames and we're not doing planets. It can't be pictures of the Constellations because there are 88 of them. ' Alyssa thought to herself as she stared at the picture frame. Then Alyssa thought of a possible answer. The Professor had said, the picture frames were about themselves and the stars. The zodiac constellations! Humans referred to the zodiac constellations a lot to determine their destiny. Alyssa decided to hazard a guess. Raising her hand she gave her answer. "Professor could those be pictures of the zodiac constellations. Everyone thinks that there are 12 zodiac constellations but there are actually 13. Capricornus, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Sagittarius, and lastly, the least known. Ophiuchus." Was she right? Alyssa doubted she was but at least she did try. While Miss Potter had not implied that rubbish of a subject with her answer, the term zodiac paired with constellations just always made him think of it. Which is why his right eyebrow was twitching in agitation. If there was ONE thing that drove him batty about astronomy it was that people all too often got it confused with astrology.
