He gave his wand a firm flick towards the door to shut it and then turned his gaze towards the students seated in the semi-circle formation.

"Welcome to Astronomy. Terribly sorry about the delay. I will have a word with the house elves to make sure this mix up does not happen again," he began. "For those of you who do not know me, I am Professor Flamsteed, but you may call me Professor Airey if it suits you better, but never sir." Just to get all of that out of the way. "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.

Samantha took out her wand and as she tapped the blank name badge, said clearly, "Samantha Montgomery". Now she had a new name tag which she then proceeded to attach top the front of her robes.

Sam thought about the question that Professor Flamsteed had asked. She raised her hand and then answered with, "Astronomy is the study of such bodies as the moon, stars, galaxies and planets and the psychical, chemical and evolutionary aspect of these bodies. It is a subject that has fascinated even ancient cultures like the Babylonians and Mayans. I think we study it because we are curious as to whether or not life exists on other planets or even universes."
