"Professor Perry! Indeed, indeed!" she said, giggling as she talked. If this was how Astronomy class was going to be, she was going to have FUN, FUN, FUNN with it. Might as well make the time usual for something, eh? She strode to the middle of the room and struck a 1971 Weird Sisters-type pose. "My favorite part is....SPACESHIPS!!!" she said, biting her bottom lip to keep from giggling. The only thing that was missing was the whole cheerleader chant, "Gimme an S...S! Gimme me a P...P!" Ok, hmmm...yeah. Another time.

Chris stood up after grinning brightly at Anna's little pose. He was not about to do a disco pose or whatever, he just grinned brightly and said. "Professor Perry, my favorite part of Astronomy is the planets!"

Jack blinked, and then felt himself grinning. He was SOOOO right! Jack WAS really close to the sky, and the clouds, and the starsssssssss. That was so awesome!! He couldn't believe he had never realized that before. As if he needed another reason to love the sport!

He raised his hand...everyone else was talking about how awesome the subject was. "Professor, my favorite thing in astronomy is the planets...I love everything about them! I think Jupiter might be my favorite planet," he added with a head nod.

Lucy walked up to the owlery for her Astronomy lesson, though she was wondering why in the world they were having ASTRONOMY in the OWLERY...But she put the thought away and enterd the "classroom".
The first word that came out of her mouth was, "Ew."
There was poop EVERYWHERE. Literally. Every step she took was covered in owl poop. Since she didn't have an owl, she never came up here, and now she knew it was a good idea because this place was FILTHY.
However, she walked in and said a quick "Hello" to the professor. But then she did a double take, and noticed that the professor wasn't the usual professor.
Hmm, who is this man? she thought.
However, it seemed like class had already started.
She decided to answer the professor's (he was the proessor, right??) question.
"My favorite part of Astronomy is learning about the moon."
It was true. She had a weird obsession with the moon--it fascinated her.

Miranda's face slacked. Looking like she wanted to roll her eyes. "Little wonderful student people." PpffT!

This was getting better and better. Sure Miranda was short, but she didn't need people pointing it out.

"Sir, are we really going to study stars in this class?" Miranda asked, wrinkling her forehead, as she watched his pointy finger like he was striking a pose.

"Lord Borr and I go back decades, really. Years and years," which was funny because Perry was significantly younger than Borr. Practically a baby. "We used to teach here at Hogwarts together. I taught Defense..."

He did NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

"Spaceships!! PLANETS!" Perry was full out jumping up and down. UP AND DOWN. "WHAT ELSE? WHAT ELSE??!?!"

"Student person, I can promise that we ABSOLUTELY WILL BE! Among lots of other things too. Like... like... AIR. And CHEESE. And even... even..."

He just kind of hovered at the door to take in the scene. Assess the danger from the feathered rats.

Man. How awesome did POOP-Skating look????


Plymouth propped up, crossed his arms, and let himself be COMPLETELY distracted by a Professor that .... was PRETTY AWESOME. "Can we all poop-skate, sir? That's my favorite part of Astronomy. That and dinosaurs." True story.

He got completely distracted by the boy who mentioned dinosaurs. Clearly DINOSAURS were the best part of Astronomy. Somehow. "EVEN DINOSAURS. And this boy right here has a GREAT idea. Let's warm up for class with a little bit of poop-skating. Extra points if you don't kill any owls!!"

Rubbing her arm after the 'professor' fist pounded her arm, Destiny noticed Evelyn running over to her. Seeing that she was slipping on the stuff that was on the floor, Destiny was ready to catch her if she fell. Laughing at Evelyn hiding behind her, she turned her head so she can see her. 'He looks happy.. too happy. But I suppose happy is wayyy better than Borr!'

Taking out her wand, Destiny pointed it to her and Evelyn's shoes 'Scourgify!' and started admiring their clean shoes. 'Yep, I don't like this place either.'

Copernicus Kettleburn did not approve of Astronomy classes at Hogwarts in general, and he didn't approve of Borr in particular. After all, the man had broken Celandine's arm and caused the biggest almost-fight the two of them had ever had. Or... no. Tino had caused it. Whatever.

But he really didn't approve of this. They were skating. In. Poop.

Good news was... this was a perfect photo op. Copernicus pulled out his camera and took a candid shot before lurking against a clean spot on the wall. No arm breaking for Cela this class.

Miranda was about to introduce herself, this "student person" thing was funny. BUT she grinned at the professors word. Finally some REAL Astronomy studying!
"I'm Miranda BelCanto, sir." she smiled, "And I'm really glad to be in this class, to actually learn something about stars!"

Right after she spoke, Miranda blinked. "Poop-skating!?" What the... Turning around, she saw it was that Plymouth Morgan. Her face got a dreamy look to it, but she shook her head to clear it. "Allriiiiiight!"

Miranda began to skid around the space, making pirrouettes and lifting her leg like a ballerina. She was grinning by now. One of the best classes ever! So far anyway. Hopefully, the Professor wouldn't turn out to be another weirdo. Snort.

This man.

Wanted them.

To poop skate?

"Merlin me!" LouAnn thought to herself. Had she not been in such a silly mood, she might have taken offense to this. She might have gotten angry, and she might have stormed out of class.

...as it was, though, she was just in the mood for silliness. With all the blacking out she'd been doing lately, it was sort of inviting to put all that to the side for a moment and...well, skate through the business of owls. She picked up each foot and casted a little spell to keep them nice and free of stuff-we-do-not-name.

...and she skated. There were a few hardened pieces of owl poo that she just sort of bumped over, but for the most part, she was able to slide around just like she was on a lake of frozen water. After a while she sort of slipped a little too much and nearly lost her balance. She steadied herself, but...but...oh, no! She was going to crasshhh...and it looked like she'd do so right into Professor Josef Perry---Astronomy Extraordinaire. Gulp.

Kay walked in and heard all the noise. "Oh, Is this class than?" Kay asked everyone or anyone. "Good day...mmmm.... Professor?" Kay said to the man jumping around and talking about spaceship???? This class was going to be ... well different.

Evelyn looked down, smiling at her now clean and shiny shoes. "Thank you." she said, glancing up at Destiny. "But please tell me he didn't just say we will be studying cheese. I am not going to be studying that..." Evelyn shook her head and looked around at everyone.

''Least they all look like they are having fun.' she thought, smiling again. 'Fun? I can show you fun Ev. Just let me take control-' the voice started, but Evelyn growled at it in her mind. 'You will do no such thing! Not now. Not ever again. I can't even face Josh anymore because of you...much less talk to anyone without knowing what happened.' And with that, she shut her mind off completely, just staring into space, waiting for the lesson to start.

Plymouth Morgan skidded across the room with his arms behind his back. RIIIIGHT FOOT, LEEFFFT FOOOT, TWIRL TWIRL TWIRL. He started on a course across the room that would make a BIG P. P for Plymouth.P for PERRY. P for POOP. P for PERRY FOR PRESIDENT.


Plymouth was so going to get an O in Astronomy. He held up a HIGH FIVE for Professor Perry and LouAnn and Copernicus as he skated past them all.



"Weeeeeeeeeeeeheeeeeeeeeeeeehooooooooooo!"

Destiny put on a really confused face.
'Cheese and dinosaurs. But I don't think that has anything to do with astronomy! And now poop skating.' After noticing everyone skating, Destiny looked down at her clean shoes. 'But I just cleaned them!' she was NOT skating in poop. Nope, nope, no.

Well he looked like he was having fun. But she still thought about her shoes. Taking out her camera Destiny lifted it up and
CLICK!
'At least I can probably get some homework done.

"Oh, my dear!" Perry pulled a very sad face at her. "You are late. That's no good. No more late. Next late person has to go get us COOKIES FROM MOMMA MELITA!"

He did a victory dance and immediately fell over in the poo. Ewwww. On his new trousers!

"Yes," Perry scooted across the floor on his hands and knees to whisper to the girl.

"The moon is MADE OF CHEESE. Secret info. Don't tell yet."

He put a poo-covered hand on her shoe to push himself up.

She was going to crasshhh...and it looked like she'd do so right into Professor Josef Perry---Astronomy Extraordinaire. Gulp.

As soon as he stood up, the Louann Purple girl and her loud yet brilliant friend both came sliding his way, slamming into him almost simultaneously.

"AIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEE," Perry screamed as he shot across the slick floor, straight for the open window.

"SAAAAAVE MEEEE."

Zoe trudged up to the owlery with a miserable look on her face. After the last absolute joke of an astromony class with Lord Borr she absolutely did not want to be here. She had almost gone back to the common room multiple times, but unfortunately for her, she was no quitter.

She was surprised when she found out that class was located here of all places. She didn't think that the all too self involved Borr would set foot where there were so many owl droppings. At least this would give her a chance to visit with Aether, her Northern Saw-Whet Owl. Zoe was pretty sure that there weren't any other breeds that were close to him here at Hogwart's and she hoped that he was still able to make friends.

Stepping through the doorway Zoe's mouth dropped open when she saw students sliding around on the owl droppings. Lord Borr was going to literally kill them all when he showed up. Once she had gathered her wits she realized that this might be just the type of picture that would earn some points for Muggle Studies. She pulled out her disposable camera and just as an older Ravenclaw boy skated by high fiving people she clicked the shutter release button taking the picture.

Putting the camera back in her bag Zoe contemplated leaving. She didn't want to get Gryffindor into trouble by joining in, but it looked like so much fun.

Looking around Zoe saw LouAnn skating around and yelled out to her, "LouAnn, don't you think that we will get in trouble when Lord Borr gets here?"

Evelyn laughed as Destiny took a picture of one of the people...skating...and turned to find herself almost face to face with the Professor. Taking a tiny step back instinctively, she listened to him speak. "The moon isn't made of cheese." she said in a 'matter of fact' tone, placing her hands on her hips, giving the professor a 'look'. She gasped though when he stuck his filfy hand on her clean shoe, leaving a white hand print clearly showing on the black shinyness. "Argh!"

She almost decided to let him fly out the window, but what if someone saw her staring at him and saw she didn't do anything? Rolling her eyes, she whipped out her wand and cast 'Wingardium Leviosa' on him before he could fly out, leaving him hovering very still in mid air...NOT flying out the window.

See...Evelyn was a good person. Even if his hands were filled with poo and left a hand print on her CLEAN shoes...ugh.

"Oof!" LouAnn called out, the breath being knocked out of her the second he collided into Mr. Astronomer of the Year. She coughed a few times then glanced back up just in time to see Professor Perry head straight for an open window!

"Man overboard! MAN--O--VER---BOARD!" she yelled out, poop-skating her way to the window in a heroic effort to save the man. She reached out and grabbed a hold of his poop infested shoe. It was gross...it was disturbing...and she was pretty sure she'd have nightmares about it for months to come. "Plym! Plym, are you there?" she asked, not daring to look behind her. There was a man...dangling from an open window...while she hung on to his pooey shoeie. "Professor Perry! Can you hear me?!?!?"

*blink*

"I...I believe that could be a possibly. Especially if this man really literally bites the dust," she said, glancing down to the ground below.

Upon hearing a Slytherin girl's shout of "Wingardium Leviosa," LouAnn squinced her eyes tightly shut, hoping for the best. "Did...did it work?" She was afraid to even peep to see.

Oh my.

What a mess, what a mess. The last thing this class was, was a lesson. You know, the kind where people learn. For exams. Maybe even practical life. Fyo's eyes widened as the Professor's voice escalated into a scream for help, then widened a little more [was that even possible?] as the man slid across the floor, and straight for the window. The open window.

Oh gosh, oh gosh, oh gosh.

Ummm.... HELPPP?

Lucy watched as Professor Perry almost fell out of the window, saved only by the fact that LouAnne was holding onto his disgusting shoe, and someone had cast the Wingardium Leviosa spell on him.
...
This class was AH-MAZING. And you would have never thought you could get this much action in an Astronomy class!!
"Are you okay, professor?" Lucy quietly asked Professor Perry.

Ohh boy. This class was crazy. Now the professor was almost out the window. Yep, Destiny can get her Muggle Studies homework out of the way. 'Good thing I still had my camera out!'
3 pictures down, 2 pictures to go.

Plymouth, clearly the manliest of the MEN present (since Clifford graduated and Professor P was screaming like Plymouth's toddler sister), SPRUNG into action. He SKIDDED across the floor and then belly flopped to offer his hands to Professor Perry. Or whoever this cool cat was.


"Don't let gravity beat you, Sir! You can break a neck that way, you know! And I was having SO much fun!"


A little poop never hurt anyone, so Plymouth didn't mind that he now looked like a pig too. Smelled like one. Pretty much was one. What DID hurt however was Plymouth's ears from that epic... scream?

Inches from falling to HIS ULTIMATE DOOOOOOM, Perry was saved but some quick thinking students. He was practically panting as he scrambled away from the window and hugged the little girl who saved him.

It was a bit tragic that he was completely covered in owl poo, and now so was she. But HUGGING for his life was necessary.

"I didn't break MY EAR, LOUANN PURPLE. Of course I can hear you! I can hear everyone." Perry wanted to shake off his fright from that near death experience. After all, if he'd taken off out the window, at least he'd be near his precious sky. For a little while.

"Are you okay, professor?" Lucy quietly asked Professor Perry.

"I am OKAY, LITTLE ONE," Perry sighed and slumped back down on the floor. He was already poo-covered.

"I think that will be enough sliding for now. How's about we start class now? Does anyone else want to share their favorite bit about Astronomy?"

Oh my goodness, Zoe thought to herself. This class was going to be just as messy as the last one. Maybe only slightly less disgusting though.
Who was this conducting class? He certainly didn't look like a student.

Raising her hand Zoe replied, "My favorite part of Astronomy is the way the stars twinkle and the different stories behind all of the constellations."

She hoped that this was really the professor.

Evelyn just stood in shock when the professor suddenly hugged her. He was covered in... MERLIN! Covered in poo!!!!

Pushing him away as hard as she could at the moment, (which wasn't so hard since she was shocked), she scooted as far away as she could, only blocked by a wall that was behind her. Evelyn stared at the professor, not really wanting to look down at herself, but it was inevitable. Glancing down slowly at her clothes...

........


........


'I should've let him fall out the window.' she thought, mouth agape, not being able to speak for a moment, just staring at her WHITE clothes. Clothes that weren't white before. "Destiny? What was that spell you did earlier to my shoes?" she asked pathetically as if she were dying, looking towards the other girl with pleading eyes before looking down at herself again.

"My favorite part is staying clean!" she mumbled, trying to wipe all the poo off without actually touching it. Not working out so well...
