After having written her name, house and year on the piece of parchment, Gwendolyn looked back at the Professor. Why couldn’t everyone get the easy question?! What is Astronomy!? I could answer that… but I have no idea why we study it. It’s not like it’s actually useful or something, the girl thought and decided not to answer this question, just remain silent and see what everyone else could come up with.

However, she changed her mind and immediately put her hand up. I need to say something. That’s still better than nothing, right? Riiiight? ‘Well, studying Astronomy means that we study everything that has to do with planets, stars… basically everything in the universe. And by knowing what is out there, we might be able to understand how the universe was formed?’, the third year tried to guess. ‘And ummm…’, Gwen went on talking, and, after a short pause, she added: ‘Perhaps if we know more about it, we might be able to find out how it is evolving?’ Somewhat.
