And speaking of which, she turned to the front to see the professor. "H-hello, professor" clearly that was a delayed greeting. Why was she always spacing out, which is not a good time because it is just her first day in school. Juliet bit her lower lip and lowered her head. Sorry.
Her eyes gazed at the person and found that she's sitting beside the pretty Slytherin she met during the feast. Juliet liked Cass and you can see it in her glittering eyes once more everytime she sees her. "Hello Cass" she smiled. And when she mentioned her name, Juliet nodded. Yup, that's her. "This is fun" she whispered to Cass about the drink that is. Are they only allowed to try 1 drink? Can they get seconds?
"Yes it is." She replied briefly with a smile, not wanting to let the conversation flow - for the moment at least - since class was just about to start.

Hello and gooooooood day, students," she said in her usual sing song voice. "
My name is Professor Burbage and I will be instructing you in the noble field of Astronomy this term. I doooooo hope you have all filled out your name here or else I shall be forced to make one up for you." To which she laughed softly before taking a glance at it. MERLIN why did some students write so small. That wasn't very kind on an elderly woman like herself.
Which was when she heard a voice.
Oh ho ho ho ho.
She looked at the seating chart - which she was holding upside down by the way - and found the boy's name. "
I doooo like the way you think, Mr. Wilde." Because that was the name written in the square on her parchment. "
Could you please keep that thought for a moment." The boy earned himself a wink and sparkle points with her however.
Pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose, she looked back to the class. "
Now...wheeeeeeeeeere was I? Oh yes! Astronomy, as many of you alreeeeeeeady know natural science that deals with the study of celestial objects. Stars and planets and those sorts of things for those of you who would like a little more basic image. Today we shall be discussing something a little more...outside of the box."
Flicking her wand towards one of the photographs on the table in the front, she levitated it into the air and gave her wand another firm flick to enlarge it. Once it was of appropriate size, Professor Burbage was ooh-ing and aw-ing and turning into an elderly fangirl at the man's portrait.
"
Can anyone tell me whoooooooo this studmuffin is?" she asked as she gestured towards the picture. "
You may include ONE fact about him if you know. But please, doooooo leave out how handsome he is and how looooooovely his hair is. I already know and have just said these things."
Oh ho ho ho ho.
STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE
"
That will be minus 5 to you dear. Such behavior will siiiiiiiiiimply not be tolerated in my classroom."
How ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!
Cass raised her hand to answer before saying
"I think that Sir Isaac Newton, Professor." Right? Well, he did resemble Newton in most of his pictures - so she was pretty sure. And since everyone was already saying that he was the one who came up with the three laws of motion and what not, she wasn't going to answer that
"He is the first scientist ever to be knighted!" She answered simply, throwing out that bit of trivia out there.
