And...Professor Burbage's sing-song voice wasn't really helping either.

Constellations? They were talking about constellations?!

*Cue eye widening and inner flailing and small excited gasp*

What did she know? Maybe..just maybe, today's lesson would somehow lift her mood. She loooooved stars. They were like glittering, luminescent dots that lived and brightened the darkness that enveloped the sky at night, and dots were sapid.

She was about to raise her hand and give her own definition of what a constellation is right after some of her classmates have given theirs, when she heard Kurumi's answer.


O______________________O

That hurt! Aren't real? But...but...the Big Dipper! ..and Orion's belt!

Things in space? And?

Beezus waited...waited eagerly for Elijah to continue but that was his answer. O_____________________o Seriously?! Constellations were more than that! Not just mere things. Merlin!

Gaaaaaah, her expectancy for this lesson's topic to lighten her mood had radically evaporated. No, she wasn't going to talk...just because...Yes, she was going to stay sitting there, pouting.

Honestly, can her week get any better?


Beezus' weird looks did not go unnoticed. Elijah had considered for a moment that the girl may have been having a stroke, and therefore, attempting to communicate to him to help her. However, some huffy movements and some seriously professional pouting began to make Elijah believe she hadn't been satisfied with Elijah's answer...

SPOILER!!: Burbage

"In a way, you're all riiiiight." Marion nodded, still smiling.. "A constellation is a formation of the stars, perceived as a design or a shape of some kind. Eighty-eight of the constellations are now recognized, a few of them more popular than the rest." Marion's eyes twinkled before she added, "And like someone pointed out rightly, Constellations are not reeeeal. They are a way to help us understand how the stars are aligned in the sky."

"Sinceee you all have an idea as tooooo what a constellation is, I would like you all darlings to name one constellation and tell me something about it." BEAM.


... WELL, lookie here, Beezus! Apparently he was smart and that his answer was correct.

He pretended to listen on as Burbage began talking a string of nonsense. He couldn't understand why on Earth they were having to waste time learning about something that the Professor had just said didn't actually exist... pointless much?

'Ohhhhhh, HEEEaaaveeennnnns dears! Let us discuss the unciorn eating galaxy called Goblatronnnnnn. But, DEARSSSS! Letttt us be made awareee, that such a galaxxxyy doesn't actually exist. HEAVennnnss nooooo! I just want tooo wasteee your timee with all the useless knowwwledge I've gained in my GAAJJILLLONNN yeeeaarsss. Why YES Beezus, I ammm older than the universe itselfffff'

*back to reality*

Elijah's thoughts made him escape a slight snort, amused at himself and his head's own impression of the hilariously fun Astronomy Professor. Oh! Next question was up.

Elijah raised his hand, not one to miss the opportunity to provide some nonsense answer in the hope of earning some more house points, "Well, my perrrrssssonal favourite is the Burbage constellation," Elijah offered smiling. "It didn't exist," much like the other constellations, APPARENTLY, "until just now when I decided to create it. I trullly believe someone as awesomely intelligent as yourself deserves a constellation named after them, Professor." WINK.

He was so good at this class.
