Default The Planetarium

Located off to the right of the Observatory and behind a large wooden door lies a room made possible by means of a powerful Undetectable Extension Charm. Professor Flamsteed will hold the occasional lesson, present an educational and entertaining show about astronomy and the night sky, or a training session in celestial navigation here, but it is also available to students to use at their own leisure for research or entertainment purposes.
Professor Flamsteed just has a few guidelines for use of the planetarium:
  • ABSOLUTELY no food or drink
  • be respectful of the equipment
  • NO SNOGGING

This would've been better out in the grounds, you know? Not to mention it'd be an excuse to be wandering about after curfew, but no, she was too distressed to wander about, and it wasn't even night. She lacked the patience required for waiting until it was nighttime to stargaze properly, which is why the next note she sent Airey clearly stated they were meeting here, before noon, and she kindly reminded him what they were gonna be looking for.

Just in case he forgot, much like her best friend had forgotten her name.

Lottie did this with Botros at the start of the school year, there were some people one just had to remind of certain things sometimes. Let's hope Airey at least remembers how to find what she oh-so-desperately needed to find.

Meanwhile, she waited. Ironically, wandering around the room, thinking of... nothing, actually. That was new.

If the clicking of his cane against the stone corridor didn't announce the old stargazer's arrival then the way he unceremoniously cleared his throat and swallowed whatever it was that he had coughed up surely did. Pausing to catch his breath while leaning on one of the chairs, he looked around expecting to see Miss Wisteria sitting down, only to find that all the seats before him were empty.

Odd. Perhaps he was early? This would be something new. Or old. Or something. He couldn't quite recall what it would be at the moment.

So he was just going to hobble over and take a seat in the front row near the machine. Less of a walk when they needed to set things up to search for...that thing. He had it written down somewhere...now if he could just find the piece of paper with it written on it...

Which was actually sticking out of his breast pocket. Well, Miss Wisteria's homework was sticking out of his breast pocket in place of a pocket square. This was on purpose though, surprisingly. He began to hum himself a classic tune while he waited for his 'date' to show up.

Oh, she heard him, alright. All the way from the corridor...

Interestingly enough, the habits these old people were picking up didn't resemble her grandparents at all. If all Wisterias were bound to age gracefully, then she definitely had nothing to worry about. She was most concern about losing her hearing if one were to ask her this.

...and Airey didn't even notice she was in the room, did he? But ZOMG! She recognized the humming! HAI BEATLES! BEAM.

She could join him, but that's not what she was here for. At any rate it'd be rather creepy to remain unnoticed for another second and she immediately walked closer to the man, "Thanks so much for meeting me here, Professor...," she said, giving him a small smile. When will they all stop being old again? Were they all going to die? She didn't want her best friend to die, you know? "...You remember why you're here, right?" Still oh-so-desperate to find this galaxy, but she tried her best to keep her tone as calm as possible.

Wouldn't want to mess with his nerves, after all. This is as far as her patience goes.

The professor was sort of circling his seat in the front much like how a cat does before it finally curls up in a ball. A trait he must have picked up from spending time with a certain feline adoring professor. Unless he picked it up from observing Hershel. That was another possibility. As it was, he had not yet sat down when he heard the Hogwartian's greeting. "Don't mention it, Miss Wisteria," he smiled at her while giving his cane a little wiggle in place of a wave. "I always have time for outstanding students like yourself."

Now he really was going to sit down because his joints were beginning to ache from that long walk from his office. "Lost a galaxy, Miss Wisteria has. How embarrassing," he said while mimicking a certain Jedi master. Along with changing around the quote a little. Now where had he put that parchment of Miss Wisteria's.....

"If you could please hand me that touchpad over there by the projector," he said while indicating the general direction with his bony finger.

This felt like hanging out with Botros. And while that was kind of nice, she was still missing the old Airey Flamsteed... or did she mean the young one? This was starting to get confusing. Very.

Those words, though. Outstanding student. She was positively beaming right now, and the fact that this will only add more pressure to her exams didn't seem to bother her at the moment. We can always blame Airey for terrible results. Though, those weren't going to happen. "Thank you, Professor." That and the smile ought to be enough for you, Airey.

NOW, Andromeda, yes. M31 or whatever.

GASP. HOW EMBARRASSING, INDEED. She sighed in defeat. But yes, we know this character you imitate, Airey, it was good to know his memory was somewhat intact if he could speak like Yoda. "Unexpected, this is, and unfortunate." VERY MUCH UNFORTUNATE. And stressful. But patience is a virtue... she probably didn't have sometimes. "Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view, so I didn't lose a galaxy, it has to be found so it can be lost." Confusing? No, not at all, it was a perfectly simple statement. And fact. How are you going to lose something you never found in the first place?

Made nothing better, truth be told.

"Why, yes, of course," she said, quickly doing as told and handing it over, "Here you go, Professor." Go on. Tell us how to find M31, you must.

Old man lips curling into a smile, he tried not to look to amused or impressed by the fact that Miss Wisteria happened to quote Obi Won. Thinking about Star Wars would only get the man going off on all sorts of tangents and would certainly cause their mission today to become an impossible one. Ha. Mission impossible. Ha.

Anyway.

"Wise words, Miss Wisteria," he replied with a quick wink as he accepted the touchpad and squinted at it to find the on button. How DID one turn this on, actually? He had plum forgotten how to do that and now he was the one that was feeling mighty embarrassed. But, not wanting to let the young lady down, he distracted himself with a simple question. "Now...what date do you want to look at? The day of your homework to redeem yourself or tonight so you can practice now and see the real thing later?"

OH! There was the on button. Good thing it was labeled with capital ON on it and everything.

Wise and words got along with Wisteria, yeah? The Hogwartian merely smirked a little at that reply. And that wink would've gotten a different reaction had Airey Flamsteed looked young. A smirk would suffice for the time being. Though the smirk changed into a smile as she noticed they were about to start.

FINALLY.

She almost asked him if he needed some help, but decided to let his memory refresh on its own. An exercise of sorts. The question... was he stalling? "Both, really," then she can have an excuse to stargaze tonight as well, "I want to see what it was I missed back then, and want to try and find it today, if possible." Because we're gonna find you, M31, you cannot hide.

He must've guessed her answer, however, it wasn't necessary to ask. Lottie wanted to see BOTH.

Ah, there was one million watt smile. He would have returned another wide one, but he was fearing that his teeth may fall out with the combination of too much smiling and talking. He was sure to forget at some point during their research, so he apologizes in advance for any teeth that may become dislodged.

"Both then," he chuckled as his bony finger struggled to push the on button. He really shouldn't have expected any other answer coming from such an ambitious mind. Once the chime of the touchpad turning on sounded, he was finally able to relax a little more in his seat. But not too much. He was in the presence of a lady. Setting the correct date and time, he tried to push submit but kept missing the button with his finger. After several failed attempts, one time managing to turn the device off and starting completely over, he looked towards Miss Wisteria with kicked cruppy eyes. "I think you ought to use the technology today, Miss Wisteria," he said as he passed the touchpad towards her. "We'll be here until the Big Freeze if I handle things."

What else had he been expecting, really? Definitely both.

Lotus watched as he worked his magic on technology and actually checked if the date he entered was correct (yes, it was), but he seemed to be taking an awful lot of time with this. Not to mention he got stuck with a button? And then turned it off? Several times??? Well, she didn't have all day, she had other lessons this afternoon, you know? Not to mention that she'll be seeing the real Andromeda tonight.

Lovely. "Why, I thought you'd never ask, Professor," she was this close of taking that touchpad without permission. THIS close. So, now she was being handed the device. "Yes, I doubt we have that much time, anyway." One look at him was enough to prove her point, sadly. "Okay." Submit. And almost instantly, her whole face lit up at the stars, that clear night sky she'd seen back then was here again.

Fake, but still here.

She familiarized herself with it and after a minute or two she said, "I know that's the Andromeda constellation, and the galaxy is supposed right next to it...yet I see nothing...," even now. Nothing.

Sweet revenge, Miss Wisteria?

He couldn't help but chuckle a little at her comment about time, recalling some of the previous times she had come to speak to him in his office. But now was not the time to dwell on such thoughts as they had a mission to accomplish. "Perhaps, we should go about this a bit differently and do some starhopping," he mused as he reached over and pushed another button on the touchpad to turn off any light pollution that the projector had included. The night sky above them became instantly darker while the 'stars' brighter. One more push and the moon was gone as well. "I'll give you the moon later, Miss Wisteria," he chuckled. "But this may have been why you could not spot it before, tonight should be easier as the moon will be new."

Relaxing a bit more in his seat now, he pointed upwards with a bony finger. "Let's ignore the constellation Andromedea for now and how about you find me Cassiopeia instead?"

Eagle Eye [⅓ Badger Trio] Felon & Kafka ♥ Gilderoy Lockhart <3 [TEAM 947!]

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Starhopping? Wha--But she was here to find Andromeda, no other star or constellation or planet or galaxy or open clusters or whatever. "Okay...," it wasn't like she had much choice ANYWAY.

But then, what are YOU suggesting, Airey Flamsteed??? Her eyes narrowed at the man a liiiittle bit. What had he done with the moon? Easier? No matter. The moon was only a faint reflection of the sun, so it wasn't particularly important to her. Werewolves wouldn't mind this. Tides may feel different about this. Back to Astronomy, though, "Wait, why was it difficult to spot that night?" Don't bring pollution into this, because that night had been super clear.

Eyebrows raised. Andromedea? Someone has been spending a lot of time with Romanos. Lottie just kept quiet. "Okay, we'll look for Andromeda in a minute...," or two, because now she looked up and went in search for Cassiopeia. The stars were so beautiful that for a moment she forgot what she was supposed to do, but, right, focusing. As usual, she liked to find Polaris first, unless it was Orion the one she was looking for. It was pointless then because Orion was so easy to find. Okay, so that was Ursa Minor, and her eyes followed the stars until Cassiopeia was recognizable, "There it is." She pointed to the distorted W or M, depends on point of view.

Whoops? That tone implied that Miss Wisteria was disatisfied with the new game plan. Too late now. There was no turning back and she would see that it would turn out alright in the end.

"Well," he said with a small chuckle. "The moon's glow can interfere with finding the galaxy and since the moon was nearing it's Full Moon phase it is very plausible that the glow prohibited you from finding it. Hence why I simply set the moon at New for all intensive purposes of our practice now." Stargazing could be so subjective like that, which was both fascinating and frustrating. But he was sure Miss Wisteria already knew all about that, so there was no need to remind her of the obvious facts.

Whoops? Freudian slip much? Not that he had noticed at all. Not even when his stargazing 'date' had corrected him. "Stellar. We can use the right side of the W as an arrow head pointing towards the Andromeda Galaxy." Did she noticed that he had said it right this time? Not that he really knew the difference. "Now... using the height of the W as a measure, go three W heights in the direction the arrow head points. With any luck...you should see a slightly elongated pale puff of smoke," he explained, complete with air quotes on the word smoke.

Yes, yes, she knows, but she's not accepting the moon as an excuse. No excuses in Astronomy, Airey Flamsteed! She said nothing on the matter and simply nodded, "Of course." She wasn't particularly thrilled in tweaking the conditions of that night's sky. But it'll just take longer, so, never mind.

Old age probably brings patience, yes?

OKAY. Got it. Cassiopeia. W. Arrow. Three times the measure. And yes, Lottie noticed how he said it right this time, no point in telling him how it was said anymore. A slip of the mind, surely. Now, luck was a tricky thing, but before doing what Airey suggested, she laughed softly, "Puff of smoke." Seriously. That, and stars twinkle, was so awful. "I bet the galaxy won't like that." ANYWAY...

...She did so. And did, in fact, notice something. "Wait...," she squinted her eyes a little at the gray spot that was that so-called puff of smoke, "...is it really that one there?" she asked, gesturing to the fake-sky.

Airey chuckled and rubbed his balding head. "I'll be sure to owl it an apology letter after we are done," he replied with a slightly dismissive wave but still with an amused smile on his face.

Now where were his glasses....can't see a darn thing without them these days...

Giving his breast pocket a few firm pats - which really did nothing due to it being charmed and holding so much more than just a pair of glasses. Reaching into it after a few more brief moments of patting, he removed his glassed and put them on. Oh yes. Much better than assuming he saw what he knew was already there. "Mmmmhmmmm," he nodded. "Would you like to take a closer look? Magnify the sky a bit? You'll get far more detail in here than you will with a telescope."

Was she a little disappointed with their little wisp of smoke?

"Oh, I should give you the moon back now as well," he chuckled as he pushed another few buttons on the touch pad and made the moon appear once more. The change was subtle, but the galaxy did appear just a bit washed out, but still very much visible to those who knew where to look.

Like the two of them.

"Good luck with that." The sun was supposed to apologize to her a long time ago. Almost two years. Did she get that apology? LOLNO. Technically, it'll take a LONG time to get one, and even then it'd be late by 8 minutes. Now, Airey was doing the opposite, in a way, but still, good luck with getting something done with outer space individuals.

OH, MERLIN IT WAS! Lottie rolled her eyes and sighed rather LOUDLY, "Well, I had seen that. I just thought it would have more presence, it is kind of forgettable." Though they were doing a marvelous job, since this was naked-eye observation. And it was clearly not as forgettable as she'd said when she could remember the puff of smoke from that night. "I probably should owl it an apology, too." Disappointed, much? But she beamed up at Airey's suggestion, "Oh, that would be lovely! A closer look, yes."

"Thank you, Professor." For giving the moon back, and taking the time for this. She could see the galaxy up there with the brightness provided by the moon and all, it'll be easier to find it again, no doubt.

Chuckling, the astronomer focused his attention on the pad in front of him and adjusting the settings to allow them to travel closer to the galaxy. "Well, you know what they say, appearances can be deceiving," he mused while his fingers got lost over the controls. "I'm sorry it disappointed you, but perhaps this will help make it more memorable?"

His index finger hovered over the submit button before a boyish, and almost youthful, appearance took over his aged features. "Make it so, Number 1," he said as he passed the pad back to Miss Wisteria. Because that is what she was right now on their figurative starship.

Although he had never considered himself a captain - that was Tiberius. WHO WAS GONE FOREVER BECAUSE OF THE MEATHEAD GROUNDSKEEPERS, BY THE WAY.

"Don't mention it, Miss Wisteria. Always a pleasure."

Huh. That was so true. It also brought a smile to her face. Appearances can be deceiving. This was even truer in relation to Astronomy, because stars do not actually twinkle, you know? "I suppose they can be." So, yes, we're agreeing with you, Airey. And then Lottie shook her head, "No need for apologies, really." Not from him, anyway.

She was watching him closely, and noticed they were still looking at the same thing, did he not say he was going to zoom in on Andromeda, then??? So, why was he--GASP!
ASDFGHJKLKJHGFDSA!
Her excitement was obvious in her face, and she was beaming, BEAMING! While also wondering is this had any relation to the fact that Alice was leaaaving, you know... but she wanted to see Andromeda a lot closer and didn't question this, "Of course!" She immediately pressed 'submit'.

Actually, yeah, she was gonna question this, "Who was the Number 1 before me?"

Yes, yes, a real pleasure. Mmhmm. Nod, nod.

There was NO way that he could not noticed the way Miss Wisteria's face lit up like a Class O type star just now and it made his wrinkled features tighten as he smirked. This was good information to know, you know? That the yellow despising young woman was versed in Star Trek. Or so he assumed considering the reaction caused by the terminology he had just used.

Not to mention her homework assignment that had included Vulcans. His personal favorite out of all the submissions.

So, through deductive reasoning, he considered this little experimentation in Trekki-ness a success.

"Engage," he rejoiced as she pushed the button, which then caused the domed ceiling of the planetarium to look as though they really had just gone into warp drive until the zooming eventually slowed down and they arrived at their destination.

"Before you? Well, I suppose that depends on how you classify before," he pondered. "I've never been a commanding officer, not even when I was in astronaut training. I've always been more of the science officer in a crew setting." Or Mission Specialist as far as NASA was concerned, but they were talking nerdy to each other right now so no need for formality. "And I have no had a student seek out my assistance in this manner prior to today...so, as far as I am concerned, you are the first."

And there was no way she couldn't have noticed that smirk on his face. Even between all the wrinkles, she still saw that young and handsome Airey Flamsteed she's always known. Well, he was technically young, even if he didn't look the part at the moment.

YES, YES, WE KNOW STAR TREK, THAT'S WHY THIS WAS SO EXCITING! But she had to hide her fangirling self a little, for reasons. She'd be bouncing otherwise and that was not public Wisteria. She did bounce a little bit. Shhhh. Her smile was very much visible. You could tell a simple word like 'Engage' made her eyes lit up a lot more. And this wasn't just because of Andromeda up there, FYI. She was just... happy.

Happiness. Consider yourself very special for being able to witness this, Flamsteed. Not many people could say they had, only a handful.

"Wow." That was quite a different reaction to seeing Andromeda on the former sky. "I wonder what it'd feel like to see this, for real...," like, she'd seen it in her textbook and all Astronomy books, but... seeing it like this, was so... it was beautiful, and a little intense. Marvelous, really, yet she knew it wasn't exactly real. It was still a picture of sorts.

What was it like to see the real thing?

Oh, and commanding officer? Heh. She beamed again, "Yes, I can see you in science, of course," let's leave out the fact that blue was a better color for him than burgundy was, "I'd probably be better in command." Clearly. Or a rebel, or a spy. Or all three at once. Overachiever. "A first. That's nice." So, not even Alice. Incredible.

That right there. That symbol that was rated with the highest positive emotional content. That was greatly appreciated right now. There had been far too much frowning these days - with thoughts of aging and in light of graduation being among the causes - so seeing the real genuine thing was better than galleons these days. Not that he wouldn't turn down a handful of galleons. Had a few figurines and vintage Spock ears from 1966 that he had his eye on for future purchases. But, seriously, smiling stimulates the brain's reward mechanisms in a way that even chocolate, a well-regarded pleasure-inducer, cannot match. He had even read a study about how smiling can be as stimulating as receiving up to 16,000 pounds in cash.

Was it any wonder why the man was always so optimistic and smiley?

So he did consider himself special right now. Just for very different reasons.

"I don't believe there is a word in and language that could even begin to describe it," he replied, his blue gaze up towards the projected image. It stung a little, you know? Knowing that he had had the chance to go out there and see some of the beauty the universe held first hand but then having that chance snatched away from him.

He chuckled. "You would make a stellar commanding officer." He could see it very clearly. And her last comment got a wide smile from him. "You still want to take a peek at tonight's sky to practice?" It was clear she knew what she was looking for at least.

You got that right, Airey Flamsteed. Even saying 'I agree' didn't seem to be enough for this. Lottie made no further comments on the matter, even if she actually had a question for him. It was a personal question, and if he got to live - as opposed to dying because of this age thing - then he may hear it. For now, she'll just have to agree with his words. It must be an incredible experience. Incredible being the right word here, because perhaps after many years one may still not believe they got to be out there, closer to the stars, planets, galaxies, than we are.

Still beaming, yo!

Commanding officer. Yup. Sounds about right. "Indeed, I would." BEAM. It was settled, then. Though we're still not discarding the rebel or spy scenario, since that would suit her just as well.

FAIR QUESTION. "Actually, I think I know what to look for tonight, so I'll let it be a surprise." Andromeda better be brighter, though, for reasons. But she'd rather see it on time, except... on time was a lie, considering they were looking at the past when they look up... it was still her present, technically, so she'll go with that. "Thanks for the offer, Professor," honestly, so many thanks today, "We should do this again sometime. It was fun." Smile. When he finally showed her when Andromeda was, that is.

Lottie could go now with permission for stargazing this evening. #WIN.

Allowing his mind to think about next term for only the briefest of moments, his attention was back on the Hogwartian one hundred and twenty percent as she said what he suspected he would. No more practice needed.

"Of course of course," he chuckled while tapping the touch pad with his wand to turn it off. The light slowly began to fill the room once again - just not all at once because that would render them both temporary blind. Eyes becoming overly sensitized and all that. Nice and gradual was the key. "I wish you luck, although I seriously doubt you will have any trouble." Banishing the touch pad to its proper location, he slowly rose from his seat and allowed his old joints to adjust to the sudden pressure from standing before he grabbed his cane.

"Anytime, Miss Wisteria, just say the word" he saluted her before he began to lead them both out of the planetarium. He was going to go back to his office, make a nice hot cup of tea, read a little, and then fall asleep with his book on his face.
