What are you not good in, Treyen Lockhart?" she asked, giving him a smile before looking through her telescope again. She could think of a few things he wasn't very good at, but none of them were things she'd want to admit out loud. Like, for instance, he wasn't very good at figuring out when girls liked him, and he wasn't very good at figuring out when girls were mad at him either.
She'd done both--liked him and been mad at him. Right now, she was sort of neutral. She didn't know how she felt about Treyen Lockhart. She playfully rolled her eyes when he said the focus on her telescope looked okay. Just okay?! Pshh... Like his seeker skills were 'just okay'. Yeah, right... "Looks much better to me," she commented with a shrug. Hmm... "The one on the right..."
Just then the professor spoke up, and she pulled away from the telescope to turn in his direction.
Again, Sierra peered through her telescope. She zoomed in as far as possible and studied Mercury for a few minutes. "I see a lot of craters," she commented, her hand raised in the air. She lowered her hand and turned toward the professor again. "The Romans named the planet after their god of travel, trade, and communication. Supposedly, the movement of Mercury, the planet, reminded them of the movement of Mercury, the god."
An expert? That was incredibly amusing. He was barely that. But he didn't have a chance to answer that question and now Sierra was making him blush. Truthfully, he wasn't very good at reading people sometimes. Simon was living proof of that. He never knew there had been something wrong with his friend until he told him. But...he wasn't going to comment on that.
There was, however, one thing he could mention to her,
"I'm not as good in Charms," didn't mean he wasn't good at it, just didn't excel in it as much as the others.
He wasn't very good at Herbology either. But the class he took it as complement to Potions.
There was a smile on his face when she rolled her eyes at him, yes, he knew that the focus had improved dramatically, but it was best not to make such a big deal about it...after all, she did make a fine job by adjusting it manually.
"Looks okay." He repeated, adding a wink this time.

I think all of you have spotted Mercury by now. Can anyone tell me what kind of landscape there is on Mercury? You should be able to work it out by studying Mercury in your telescopes."
He waited to give them a few moments to think before adding "Also does anyone know the mythological story surrounding Mercury?"
OCC: Last questions, I will leave the lesson open until saturday afternoon/night when i will close up and and assign homework.
And it seemed they had done a fantastic job at finding Mercury and not getting enough sleep.
His hand was raised before he decided on answering. Mercury was...a tricky planet, really.
"Looks just like the moon, regardless of the fact that the moon is closer to us than Mercury is, making Mercury appear like the tiniest moon ever seen...and that the moon looks white instead of the brownish shade Mercury displays." Yeah, it was a good way to describe what one was seeing while comparing it to something else.
