It did the gangly man's heart good to see a bright young mind like the Ravenclaw really throw themselves into their studies and go beyond the bare minimum to scrap by with a good - or decent enough to graduate - marks.

Even if he was still convinced that his lessons would truly be the death of her. Thank Merlin she was not a Gryffindor or Miss Wright would have red shirted long ago.

Stepping into the observatory, however, he was greeted not with the sight of a stereotypical studious Ravenclaw, but a sleeping on. Clearing his throat, loudly, he approached.

"Don't believe I gave permission for you to turn the observatory into a dorm, Miss Wright."
What was that? Waking with a start, Penelope grabbed her wand and sat up ready to face whatever was... Oh. It was just Professor Flamsteed. Wait a minute. Professor Flamsteed? How did he get into her dorm? Wait, no, she was still in the observatory. Awkward. Why was it always him? Probably had something to do with the fact that this was his observatory.

Lowering her wand she said, "Sorry, Professor. I was working on this with my pet rock Luna and I must have fallen asleep." Maybe she shouldn't have stayed up so late. She held up her lunar cycle chart for him to see. The observatory was not intentionally being turned into a dorm. That would be really cool though.

What was she supposed to do now? Keep working? Would Professor Flamsteed send her back to her dorm? She wasn't ready to leave the observatory yet. Although she was now convinced that it would be spiders, not Professor Flamsteed that would be the death of her, she still wasn't entirely comfortable being around the astronomy professor. Actually now that she thought about it, maybe Flamsteed would be the death of her if the spiders didn't get to her first. No, she couldn't think like that. She would survive. Um... She was just going to keep working on this.
