It did not go unnoticed, the Aldrich girl's choosing to position herself far away from him. He found her decisions quite intriguing lately. Now, why would she go and do a thing like that? Boyfriend? Jealous boyfriend? Fear of copying his answers?
Oh, right.
Halcyon kept to herself.
Cutty put a hand against Whitty's back as the older Slytherin boy took a seat nearest him.
Whitty. That was Whitty. Whitty whom he liked to keep close.

"The first thing I would like you to do is to make your name appear on these name tags," he instructed with a flick of his wand to make some very special name tags appear on each student's desk. "All you need to do is give it a firm tap with your wand and speak your name loud and clearly. The name will appear in gold lettering exactly as you say it."
And there was NO way that the spell could go wrong - no blowing up the name tag or anything of that sort.
"Please place it on your robes when you are done. And while you do that, I want to think over the following - what does the term astronomy mean to you and why do we study it. Besides it being a required course for first through fifth years that is. When you have your answer please raise your hand and share it with the rest of the class."
Questions he had not used to start a lesson for in quite a while now, but fitting given the...theme of the term.
OOC: class will resume in approximately 24 hours from the time of this post 
Please do not post your character arriving late unless you are ready to deal with whatever IC consequences Professor Flamsteed sees fit.

"
Cutty Mordaunt." He said hitting the name tag with his wand and watching at the name appeared in gold writing beneath the muggle version of the snitch. He allowed himself momentarily to wish that he were real gold they were dealing with. He lifted the name tag between his two fingers, applied a sticking charm and wore it as instructed. Once completed he put his hand up to offer his personal lies on what astronomy meant to him.
"

We study it here becooz it offehz answers outside of magical means that help oos to betteh oondastand how and why our universe wehrks the way it dooz."
