Whatever the case was, he slowly began to make his way towards her to offer some feeble words of encouragement when she got back into spellwork herself and had produced a planet.

"Well done," he nodded with a quick wink. Wonky or not, it would do for the purpose of the exercise. "Pity we don't have gravity to work in our favor for these holding their shape," he continued as he leaned forward a bit to poke her planet with his wand, causing it to spin a bit more. "Not nearly enough mass for it to pull itself into the most efficient shape on its own. You'll get it next time."

Just had to thiiiiiiink like gravity. Be the force of gravity.

And now he had a certain song mentioning gravity...and defying it...stuck in his head.

Ahem.

......

"Just you and IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII defying graaaaavit--------------"

Airey's head snapped around - his stellar singing interrupted - and blue eyes fell on the Ravenclaw (AGAIN!) who was now...covered in blue sand as well as the floor around her. Well, actually, she was looking a bit purple with the way her skin was blushing like that - but no need to point out the specifics out loud.

"Not to worry noooooot to worry," Airey replied with one hand up in the air in a stop position. No, seriously. Don't panic. "Simply grab another bag and give it another go." With a swift swish of his wand, the professor banished away the mess - save for her robes because students should know how to keep those clean and presentable. Couldn't do ALL the work for her now, could he? "These things happen."

He had seen that too, Miss Cambridge. The green. Eyebrow raises for you.

Checking his sundial watch once again, he looked up and addressed the class. "About 5 more minutes of practice and we'll begin the activity. For those who have already completed your planet, you may want to practice the Locomotion Charm charm on it. It will come in handy in just a bit. Simply point your wand at your planet and say Locomotor planet, then use your wand to guide it where you want it to go."

OOC: Instructions for the next activity will be posted in approximately 4 - 5 hours.

Practicing the Locomotion Charm is NOT a requirement given the short amount of time between now and the time the activity will begin.

As always, any questions you may have can be directed at me via VM or PM or asked of Professor Flamsteed IC.

Professor was approaching her. Why was he coming towards her? She didn’t ask for help and he certainly wasn’t supposed to have seen her failed attempt at the spell. That never happened, she just didn’t try hard enough originally obviously. But he was still coming over and now he was talking to her. She tilted her head a little as she glanced up from her desk at him. She had to admit, she kinda liked this guy. Although she was determined to do this by herself he was attentive enough to have noticed that she was ‘struggling’ and he seemed to like interacting with his students. Some teachers at her muggle school were just there to get paid, they had no aspirations regarding teaching kids their subjects. It was those sorts of teachers were Layla purposefully didn’t try.

And then it made them look bad to see an otherwise bright student fail.

Usually she would’ve replied to the well done with a sarcastic smile but his response seemed genuine so she managed a small smile instead. Until he started prodding at her planet that was. “There ain’t a planet that’s perfectly spherical” she protested watching as her planet spun round and he rambled on about gravity. “Those are the craters” she pointed to the wobbly surface. At least that was what she was telling herself now. She didn’t need professor to point out the flaws in her magic.

He walked off singing to an old muggle musical and Layla, living near the West End herself couldn’t help but to join in humming quietly behind him. Great, that was definitely going to get stuck in her head now.

“Kiss me goodbyeeee I’m defyyyiiing gravity.”

But then the subject was changed as they were allowed to progress onwards with the lesson and learn another spell. Great. More bloomin’ magic. She thought this was supposed to be all spacey and physics like, not full of spells and craft activities.

She picked up her wand and pointed it away from her planet first so that she could practice it before attempting the spell. “Locomotor Planet” she spoke clearly defining every syllable. She was SURE her accent was altering the magic. She then turned to the wobbly sphere, repeated the words and moved her wand in a clockwise direction allowing the planet to spin.

Okay. So that was pretty cool. Not particularly useful but cool.
