He smiled, "yes professor I meant if something else took over the place of the sun. Wow that would be strange to witness...." he couldn't picture watching planets fall of and such. Shaking his head he got out his pen to finish his notes.

The Orbit-Focusing Charm
creare orbis
kre-ah-re OR-bis

Rolling his shoulders and thinking over the charm he grabbed his wand and left his pencil on the desk. "kre-ah-re don't say it with an accent Patrick.... or-bis" He whispered under his breath making sure that the thick Kentucky accent he had didn't mess up the spell. Prepping himself he made an ellipse around his hand that was resting on the edge of the desk and tapped his pencil, "Creare Orbis" He watched as the pencil followed his shaky path at first before starting to make a stronger path. He smiled impressed by his work.

Now he wanted to try it with something different.... wait is that what the skates were for? were they going to be orbiting around the room? oh now he was excited for this class today. His sour mood and questions about his friends suddenly gone.
