Well, this assignment didn't sound like it was going to be too difficult, at least from what Professor Kennedy had said so far. That question though. It was both more complicated than and not as difficult as Abra had been expecting. Probably much easier to those who had given their textbooks more than just a passing glance (which Abra had, as luck would have it, at least done).

"It's... Theo... Theoborius, or something like that," he tried, knowing he was probably getting the name completely wrong but having a go all the same, which was very unlike him. But, well, giving an answer was part of the assignment and all.

Kalen grinned a bit as Abra spoke. “Theodosius, but very close Mr. Botros, you may go make a mark on the sundial, grab a notebook and take off. ” He said with a smile.

He paused for a second thinking over how he wanted to ask his question. He wasn't sure how to verbalize his thoughts. Taking a second, "During the winter wouldn't the sun have different markings based on how short the day is?" Or was he totally losing his mind?

Kalen had to hold back a laugh as Patrick spoke, and he nodded. “Theodosius, but of course ask your question Patrick. ” He said kindly as he waited for the Slytherin Quidditch Captain to ask his question.

“It would have less markings, that’s for sure. You’ll find out more about sundials during the winter during our next task in a few months.

For now, go make a mark and grab a notebook and get back to your Saturday.” He said with a smile and a nod.

"First of, thanks for wanting to mark our sundials for us every hour, Professor" he said after raising his hand because he honestly did not NEED to do that, before he continued to answer the question. "Theodosius was his name and he was both a astronomer and mathematician. He also wrote a book about the geometry of the sphere" don't ask him the title of that book though, cause that he did not know.

Kalen nodded. “You are welcome, I figured it would be easier for me to do it. ” He said with a nod as Dorian answered the question. “Excellent answer, go make a mark on the sundial and grab a notebook and off you go. ”

So they wouldn't have to return to the Astronomy tower or carry around their sundials and try to remember to mark them off every hour. This was seriously good news with how busy her schedule normally was, she might actually forget. So thank you professor! As for his question, Rylee's raised her hand into the air. "Theodosius of Bithynia invented the universal sundial." That much she knew. There was also the little bits of information those around her had given as well but was it truly necessary to constantly repeat what had already been said. Probably not.

Kalen nodded and smiled. “Indeed he did! Excellent! Go make a mark on the sundial, grab a notebook and head on out. ” He said with a warm smile.

OOC: You all have about three days or so to finish this up! Thanks!
