Kurumi joined in the conversation also convinced that they had found an undiscovered comet. "May I?" Professor Roslund asked as the lioness prefect moved away from her telescope. Crouching a bit he stuck his right eye to the lens and moved the scope around until he saw IT right there next to Altair just as Kurumi had stated. Excited he exclaimed "It is a comet, an actual Comet." Containing his excitement somewhat Professor Roslund said to the lions "This is big news. We.You need to take notes of the discovery noting the time and place etc. Then you need to give it a name and also go tell Headmaster Tate. He needs to be informed. It’s quite possible that this comet sighting has something to do with Hogwarts in only a few days will be 1000 years old." Or it could be just coincidence but Professor Roslund hoped not.
A large owl? Kurumi almost felt insulted. Her and August knew the difference between what what a comet looked like and what an owl looked like thank you very much. Yes, Professor Roslund earned himself an eyebrow raise from the prefect for that one. It had a tail...a tail that had formed due to the comet approaching the sun and ice that the object was made from had transformed directly from a solid to a vapor and released the dust particles embedded inside that the solar wind then had swept the evaporated material and dust back in a long tail. Owls couldn't do that. Nope. It was so not an owl.
However, all was forgiven and forgotten when the professor announced that they had in fact found a comet and Kurumi jumped up and down several times before throwing her arms around August to hug him. Team Goldberry for the win! Her eyes widened in some emotion of pride and fear when he suggested that they bring proper documentation to the Headmaster. "
R-R-Really?" she stammered in surprise. "
I actually have all that written down right here, Professor," she said as she handed him the
parchment. Unless he was implying that they needed more specific information like degrees of latitude and longitude, to which she didn't have the proper instruments to measure that right now. Maybe August did?
