Default Astronomy I: Total Eclipse of the Sun (Solar Eclipses)

How many of you have been to the observatory in the morning? Well, that's about to change, since today's seminar lesson is set at 7:30 in the morning. To top it all off, it also happens to be a Saturday. How cruel, that the first seminar lesson of the term is forcing you to wake up early on your first weekend back at school.

But if Professor Sandhu, who is basically nocturnal, can wake up or did she just decide to pull an all-nighter just to make sure she didn't sleep through her the day in time for this field trip, so can you.

Hopefully, you've brought your permission slips, which were enclosed with your book lists or you'll have to be left behind. And we really don't want that.

His FIRST OFFICIAL field trip! Never mind that it was so early that Flynn felt a bit like he was still dreaming, the second year Hufflepuff was excited to go to... um.... somewhere . He checked the permission slip. Oh, Addis Ababa University's observatory! Which meant... nothing to him. Oh well, he would soon find out and he would write home and also to his dad and maybe to uncle Gabriel all about it too.

He would naturally have greeted the professor and have in the slip and then found his friends but something ELSE happened instead. Flynn noticed a smile (THE smile™, in fact!) and aaaaaaaaall reasonable thought and function drained from his mind.

Would he like to chaperone? WOULD HE!? WoUlD hE!?!?

Of course he would. The question was ridiculous. The answer would always be yes. Especially because they were going all the way to Ethiopia! How very exciting (and...... actually, it was quite nerve wracking to think that they would be responsible for so many children on an entirely different continent with the possibility of so many new dangerous that they knew very little about within the context of an entirely different environment and also a UNIVERSITY, it wasn't like he was sweating about it... ahem). Anyway, aNyWaY, ANYWAY!

Finneas slipped into the classroom, awkwardly and with very little grace. He waved hello to all of his students before making way towards Simran, who looked very much in her element. How did she do that and could she provide some tips? "Hello Professor Sandhu," Finneas blinked a few times, before fishing out a slip of parchment from his trouser's pocket. "I have my permission slip." He was somewhat kidding. Somewhat serious. A lot of bit in need of the loo before they headed off. Was there time for a quick potty break or did they have to hold it?

He....was not a happy camper. In fact he was barely an awake camper. There were many things people did on a Saturday. Waking to get to a field trip around 7 was NOT one of them. It was the weekend for Circe sake. Sleep in til 12. All that jazz. Not....this.

Rubbing his face in a futile gesture to remove the sleep from his eyes, Kodee walked inside and zombied his way over to Kaiser. The boy unceremoniously leaned against his friend, trusting him to bare the brunt of the weight while he tried to remember what year it was. He nodded Gunnar closer, figuring if he was gonna have to suffer this early morning nonsense then at least he had his friends with him.

“You didn’t have to try competing with the Headmaster, Professor. I’d love you just as much if you had this field trip sometime after my braincells woke up, honest.” There was no need for this abomination. First 8 am DADA and now this.

Oh. He almost forgot.

Kodee sleepily fished into his pocket and pulled out a crumpled permission slip. What the point of being of age was when you still needed these was beyond him but his was signed.

Heath had mixed feelings about the field trip. Why did they have to start so early?! It was 7 AM… on a Saturday! Normally the only things that would get him out of bed this early on a weekend were an early morning acting audition or an all-day Star Wars movie marathon, of which this was neither. Still he couldn't help but be excited. This was his first Hogwarts field trip. Best of all, it was in astronomy, and astronomy meant awesome stuff like stars and planets and galaxies, oh my!

He was surprised that his mum let him go, given how far away it was. Hmm… she wouldn't let him go to Beauxbatons last year because it was too far from home, but she was okay with him going all the way to Ethiopia for a field trip? Mum logic, right? Never mind…

A groggy Heath walked into the room, pausing for a quick moment in the doorway to make sure he hadn't done something dumb like forget his permission slip or leave wearing his fuzzy Wookiee slippers with his uniform. No? Good. He gave the professor a small smile as he handed her his permission slip. "H-hello, Professor," he said quietly.

Then Heath's eyes fell to the sack. It was big and bulky, and it sort of looked like Father Christmas's sack. He felt a bit bad for the professor having to carry that thing all by herself! Plucking up his courage to speak again, he asked, "Would you like some help carrying that?"

Austin was about to ask if she needed help but he stays quiet, for the most part.
"Morning professor," he said.
Why. Why. Why did they have to have a lesson set in the morning? And astronamy of all lessons? Austin sighed and handed the professir his permission slip as well.

Alessandro Toussaint was a morning person. He liked getting up early, getting his run in and preparing for his day all before the sun rose. It was the only true quiet of the day. The Hufflepuff could never quite understand why his peers were averse to getting a head-start on the day.

He strode into Astronomy with a relaxed, content air. All classes should be in the morning, Alessandro decided. It was worlds more productive.

"Good morning, Professor," he nodded, politely. He gingerly rescued the slip from his satchel and handed it to Sandu. It read:

Drewett, unlike most of the people in this room, did not have any problem with the early morning call time. He was a proud morning person even during the weekends. He liked to watch the sun rise, be one of the first people at the Great Hall for breakfast, admire the way the light creeped through the window during daybreak. The Ravenclaw had been especially looking forward to this day too because of their field trip. He'd never been to Ethiopia before, so this was a good excuse to learn beyond the corners of the classroom.

He offered a bright smile to Professor Sandhu as he offered his permission slip. Drewett then looked around to see if any of his friends were here already, and that was when he spotted Gunnar so he made his way to the head boy. Naturally, he did a quick salute as his way of greeting again. Head boy and all. "Morning," he said. Drewett decided to leave out the fact that Gunnar hadn't looked too pleased with the early morning conditions during breakfast some time ago. There were Kodee and Kaiser too. Drewett nodded towards them as greeting.

With a smile and a, "HELLO!!" for Professor Sandhu, Bernie put her slip with the others and then made a beeline for someone she ALWAYS wanted to partner with.... Blake Ryan. "Hi Blake. Are you excited for the field trip? Do you think the uni is in a different timezone? Do you think the professor has a bunch of portkeys in that bag there? I bet she does. I've never used a portkey before, have you?"

Bernadette was feeling VERY chatty this morning. She hadn't been able to sleep, she'd been so afraid of missing this early Saturday class!!! Oh look, Claudine was here! Bernie waved enthusiastically to her. HI HI HI HI.


Blake was startled a bit and took a quick step back.. who on earth ... but then he should have known. Who else but Bernadette ... and then his face turned red again ... WHY!! Why oh why did he always have to blush around Bernadette.

"Woah, slow down there." He added since she had asked at least 4 questions in the span of 13 seconds. "Yes I'm excited, and no I don't know anything about where we are going. What's a portkey? Blake hated admitted to Bernadette that he didn't know something ... he didn't like that she knew something he didn't.

Seeing her wave to someone Blake looked to where Bernadette was waving and noticed Claudine. He did a smile and wave to her to ... more so just to make her mad... she was always mad at him, most of the time for no reason. "Wanna be my partner if we need one?" He added to Bernadette, make it easy right from now .. this way he didn't have to hunt one down later.

Gus snuck in amongst a couple of students, although it wasn’t much of a sneak when he was taller and stuck out like a sore thumb honestly. Gus was a sore thumb. And he had a sore green thumb. It was barely time to be awake and he’d already gotten into a tussle in the greenhouses that morning. What a day! And it was only just beginning!!! He hadn’t came with a permission slip, because he didn’t need one. He was a grown up and capable of taking care of himself and BESIDES, he was here to help keep the kids in check.

Who knew what they’d shoved in their mouths for breakfast knowing that they were getting out of here soon? Probably sugar. Or lots of food in minimal time. So they could potentially be dealing with hyper kids or puking kids. The latter of which he had a couple of leaves in his satchel that would help with nausea or anything.

Wasn’t he a good egg? Were the kids excited? OH LOOK a fellow adult man!!! He was schmoe excited to see Schmoe.

He definitely would have done that had it not been for his extremely hard work to get his parents signature on the field trip permission slip. It had taken him over a week and a lot of begging for them to sign it so he didn't want his work to be in vain.

Not having breaking a sweat at all as he entered the observatory, Minjae opened up his school bag and rummaged inside of it to take out his permission slip. "Hey Professor" He greeted. "Do i give this now or later?" he waved the piece of paper a little "Also, isn't that bag heavy?"


Simran had, truth be told, begun to wonder if this field trip was a good idea, once 7:15 hit and she didn't see anyone walking through the door. Was it too early? Had she been to eager, too hasty? To excited to show them the things she was planning to show them today?

Thankfully, Minjae Yoon walked in through the door just before she could really start contemplating cancelling the trip and apologising to the students at Addis Ababa who'd put in all the work to host them.

"Good morning, Mister Yoon," she smiled, holding her hand out for his permission slip. "I'll take it now, thank you, dear."

The bag? "It's not so bad, really."

Truthfully, Cole, Simran didn't want to be awake at this time either. Think about it. How often did she even show up to breakfast? If she was there, it was a sign that she hadn't yet gone to sleep -- not that she'd woken up for the occasion. She functioned on a very different circadian rhythm than most of their professors -- she had to, when her lessons started after dinner and ended well past midnight.

"Good morning, dear," she nodded, hand outstretched for his permission slip. Hand it over, kid. "Glad to see that you'll be joining us today."

As a muggle, he was mainly amazed that witches and wizards can go to Ethiopia in the morning and return to Scotland after lunch.

"Hi, Professor Sandhu! Hey guys, I’m Jina." She greeted the professor and the other students. She wondered what the professor had in her santa bag.


"Hello, Miss Morin," she returned cheerfully, holding her hand out for the permission slip. Children, really, priorities. Introductions could happen after they handed their paperwork in. She needed this. For legal reasons. Just in case their parents sued because they did something dumb like try brushing their teeth with elephant toothpaste.

Of course Simran didn't have any personal experience with that. No. It wasn't a highly specific example at all. Ahem.

There were only a handful of students and the all looked older.

Great.

Now she’s be known as the overachiever. Thanks mom. She did not want that at all. She wanted to draw as little of attention to herself as possible the first few weeks. Yet here she was going on a field trip in the extra wee hours of the morning. Taking a deep breath she stepped further into the room, “Professor.” she nodded. Because she wouldn’t lie and say it was a good morning when she’d rather be in bed. She stepped further into the room unsure of where to go or who to stand by.


A first year! Simran always adored the little creatures -- the only group she had a lesson with so far, and it hadn't even been much of a lesson. Simran certainly didn't consider it one. They needed the introduction, though. The poor things woudln't understand anything from this field trip otherwise, and that was the opposite of what we were trying to achieve here.

"Miss Rivers," she said, a small smile spreading across her face as the young girl took in her surroundings. "Your permission slip, please."

She dashed through all the stairs which left her panting outside the door of their Astronomy classroom. You can relate to this if you're a Slytherin. She took a deep breath and calmed her heart beat before entering the classroom. She smiled at the professor as her hand slips inside her left pocket. Thank Merlin! she remembered to bring her permission slip. "Good morning, professor" greeting with a polite smile before taking the nearest seat she can find.

"Good morning, Miss Kim," she returned, apprehension slowly melting away entirely as the room began to fill with students. They would be able to make this trip after all. Thank Merlin. And God. And whoever needed thanking for this. The Astronomy Club at Addis Ababa University? Yes, them too.

Speaking of the university. Permission slips.

The arrival of the next student only served to further soothe her nerves. She had really been worried that they would all think it was a practical joke -- an early morning Astronomy lesson seemed too horrible to be true, even to her.

"Hello, Master Ryan," she said, taking the slip from him. "Thank you. Take a seat, will you?"

Entering the room, she noticed the professor sitting at her desk. “Good Morning Professor. I’m Naya and I’m really looking forward to this field trip.” Surveying the rest of the classroom, she said, “Hello people.” “Hey Cole, she added, after spotting her fellow Gryffindor. Then she saw Jillian, her friend from last year. She hadn’t had a chance to see her during the feast. “Hi Jillian, Naya said. Hopefully they would have a chance to catch up soon.

Naya found an empty seat and sat down before pulling her permission slip out of her backpack. Fortunately she had a few minutes to get herself prepared before it would be time to leave.

Simran was about to greet the next girl to walk through the door when she introduced herself. To a professor who had been teaching here for two full terms now, and who had taught her last year. She knew the student-to-professor ratio here was small, yes? Or was she forgettable?

WHO KNEW.

"Thank you, Miss Lindsay," she said, stressing the formality. She was not about to call the girl Naya. It would be like inviting them to start calling her Simran. Professor S, she was fine with, but no first-name-bases were available during lessons.

Minjae stared at Cole for a long five seconds, probably making him uncomfortable but he was trying to wrap his question around his head. Was he new? "I've ...been here for three years?' he said slowly as he looked at the Gryffindor in slight concern. "Did you and Ewan hit your heads this summer or something?" He asked as he turned to the Professor. "Am i that forgettable, Professor?!"


Simran couldn't help but laugh at the Yoon boy's distress, especially so soon after her own problem of the same sort. "I'm so sorry, Master Yoon," she said, covering her mouth with her hand to stifle some of the chuckles.
"If it comforts you any, I seem to be rather forgettable too."

For someone who was raised in a muggle community, this could be a bit of a bore BUT it will most definitely make things exciting and fun because it's going to be outside of Scotland. It'll be in a place he'd never been to before, and that's what makes it SUPER EXCITING.

And so, after quickly stuffing his face with breakfast, he again dashed towards the tower to assemble with his classmates hoping that his friends would be there already. It was going to be an awesome morning, he could tell!

"Great morning to you, professor!" he said in his usual bright disposition and made a beeline for her, and opened his backpack to retrieve his Permission Slip. Should the Professor take notice, Noah was quite prepared for the trip (all thanks to his mum, of course). In it was an extra shirt, a water bottle, a packet or two of trail mix, a waterproof jacket, and a foldable umbrella. He'd much prefer it if he didn't bring any of those except for his wand, but he will hear from his dad too if he didn't. Besides, he was told that "mummies know best". Unfolding the piece of parchment, Noah did a quick check, making sure that it was actually signed, and then placed it on top of the last permission slip that was already on the professor's table.

He too noticed the bag that was with their teacher but refrained from asking what was inside. He got the hunch anyway that it was a bunch of portkeys for them to get to the Observatory. Instead, he gave the professor another grin and then found himself a place among the crowd that was already forming inside the classroom. Catherine, Cece, Morgan...or Mark was nowhere to be found yet but soon enough they'll turn up. They wouldn't miss this trip, right? But hey, look! Charlie's here!

Anyway, Noah went on to socialize by mingling with the older kids. He caught an older girl introducing herself, and so he took the liberty to do the same. "Hey guys! Hi, Jina! Nice to meet ya. I'm Noah, by the way." he said giving everyone a salute in greeting. "Has anyone been to Ethiopia?" he asked them randomly and then realized that Charlie was over in one corner. "Charlie! Charlie. Over here!" You know what? He'd never understand shy kids. Ever.

Ah, a cheerful one! It was always so lovely to see young people acting full of like, and being cheerful in the mornings. Merlin knew she was rarely so spirited before the bottom of her first coffee mug of the day, and that was at about twelve noon, most days.

"And to you, Master Mordaunt," she said, taking the permission slip only seconds before the kid ran off to socialise.

Well, she couldn't fault him for that.

The first year wouldn't have been able to be the first one there even if she wanted to, however. She waited for a few other students to start making their way up to where they were supposed to go, and followed them from a distance.

She arrived at the observatory behind a few others and stood at the far back, but in an angle where she could still see the professor. She wanted to stand closer to the woman so she wouldn't miss whatever means they were using to travel - she assumed a portkey, or several, given the number of students - but there was no way she would get any closer to strangers anyone until either her best friend or brother were there. They could then do the talking and socialising and... whatever else for her.

Or even any of the older kids that she knew. Those would work too, but more in a shielding kind of way. They knew more magic, so it'd be helpful to have them around too.

It was only then that she heard Noah's voice all the way at the front. She deadpanned and pursed her lips before slowly edging her way there to make sure she handed in her permission slip at the same time he did because it was safer that way and the older woman could ask him questions instead of her.

As soon as that was dealt with, she backed up again because no, thank you. She didn't want to be the first and she was most definitely not standing where the entire classroom could see her, which meant bye Noah, as he was already bringing all the attention to himself.

She takes the half-eaten bagel out of her mouth.

"Hiya Professor Sandhu, do i need to throw this out????"

Talking about her food obviously and luckily remember her slip thing she made her Aunt sign.

Things were looking up at this god awful hour.


And another! The kids were positively rolling in, and it was just as well, since time for her to start the lesson was fast approaching. This time, it was the Miss Fairfield. Always such a presence.

"Good heavens," she said, shaking her head violently. "Don't waste food on my account. Though, next time, I'd prefer a lighter meal in my lesson. A snack, perhaps."

But today was a special occasion, and with a wink, she'd let it slide.

"Good morning, dear," she said, and then after checking her sheet, looked back over. "Are you sure you're well enough to come?" Simran was worried. It was in her nature. She was a worrier.

Worried about Rylee, and also worried that the kid wouldn't survive the journey and that she'd go to jail for reckless endangerment of a young person. She was too old to survive jail, you know.

The Head Boy chose to forgo his early morning run and grumbled about it plenty over breakfast, but by the time he headed up to the astronomy tower, he was the perfect picture of an eager student ready for class. Because it was a field trip, after all.

"Good morning, Professor," he greeted Sandhu cheerfully as he placed his permission slip on her desk. He was of legal wizarding age now and did not understand why he needed a parent's signature, but his father explained to him that he was still considered his guardian until graduation. And so one Ethan McCarthy had signed the bottom of said permission slip before Gunnar left on the train on the first of September.


Gunnar McCarthy entered the door and Simran's glee only grew. The head boy. She felt a little better about the coordination of this trip already, even if he was mainly there to enjoy it, the way his classmates were. He knew, though, surely, that she (and the other professors who were champeroning) would be relying on his help quite a bit.

"Good morning, Master McCarthy." She would require that permission slip, though.

You know, everything that was necessary to keep her alive. These sorts of trips, while exciting, always made her a little nervous about what could happen in the event that she experienced a medical emergency. Professor Sandhu was aware of how to spot symptoms of severe hypoglycemia, yes? Cordelia could handle pretty much anything other than that on her own. Bounding into the classroom, Cordelia approached the professor to hand in her permission slip. ”Good morning, Professor Sandhu.” After handing in her permission slip, Cordelia joined the group of students. ”Hi Rylee!

Honestly, he didn't actually catch what he'd said but it was just too good an excuse not to joke around with him.

With a little shake of his head, he stopped next to his favourite Gryffindor, Rylee and Cordelia and gave them both a wide grin. “S’up girl on fire” greeting Rylee first before turning to Cordelia “Hey Cordelia”

The smile Ewan sent her way did not go unnoticed, nor unreciprocated. With as wide a smile as seven something in the morning warranted, she returned his greeting with a "And top of the morning to you as well, Mr Jones!"

Cecelia Summers and high-energy were two words that Simran would be surprised not to hear in the same sentence, to be entirely honest. This excitability had gotten the now-second-year into a good bit of trouble in the past, and Simran was sure it would continue to do so, but at least it was generally rather well intended.

Are you excited for the field trip? Do you think the uni is in a different timezone? Do you think the professor has a bunch of portkeys in that bag there? I bet she does. I've never used a portkey before, have you?"

Bernadette was feeling VERY chatty this morning. She hadn't been able to sleep, she'd been so afraid of missing this early Saturday class!!! Oh look, Claudine was here! Bernie waved enthusiastically to her. HI HI HI HI.


Bernadette Granham reminded her quite a bit of herself, when she was a young Gryffindor. She'd been from a Muggle family too, and constantly in awe of the whole new world around her, but also a little conflicted between the two, trying to figure out why each thought itself better than the other.

"Hello, Miss Grantham," she smiled, hand outstretched. Permission slip? Thank you.

Lucas gave his pocket a quick pat to check for the permission slip as he entered the observatory. He’d lost count of how many times he’d checked for the permission slip but it felt necessary. He really didn’t want to be left behind, not for a trip like this. It was too good of an opportunity to miss.

It was probably because of this that he wasted no time in heading for Sandhu herself. "Hey, Professor Sandhu! I have something for you." Smiling, he took out the tiny slip that he’d gotten signed by his mum and held it out for her. He....... uh, also had something to talk to Sandhu about - a bunch of somethings - but this didn’t seem like a good time to bring it up.

Patience, Dakest.

Ah, here came another prefect. And her own, for that matter. "Good morning, Master Dakest," she grinned, reaching out to take whatever it was he was handing her. The permission slip? Oh. That was only mildly disappointing.

No matter. So much to do, so much to see. She was sure that this student, if nobody else, would appreciate the order of the day.

As for his other somethings that he wanted to discuss with her. Well. Her door was always open. Okay, not always, but her office hours were posted and there was no reason he wouldn't be able to swing by.

"Hi Professor!" she greeted cheerfully and breathlessly as she made it inside. Then she handed her the signed permission slip and found a place in the classroom to wait. She was normally social, too, but she was just too eager to leave on the trip.


Okay, sitting on this desk was starting to make her butt cramp, so Simran hopped off and did a small stretch, stopping just in time to see a Miss Louise Bones walk through the door.

"Good morning, Miss Bones," she nodded, and placed the permission slip she'd been given on the stack with the others. This was looking very promising indeed.

He would naturally have greeted the professor and have in the slip and then found his friends but something ELSE happened instead. Flynn noticed a smile (THE smile™, in fact!) and aaaaaaaaall reasonable thought and function drained from his mind.

Adidas Ababy University Observatory who?


Huh. No greeting from Flynn Whitlock?

Strange. It wasn't like him not to say anything upon entering, but Simran really didn't have much time to dwell on it before Finneas Schmoe... happened.

Of course he would. The question was ridiculous. The answer would always be yes. Especially because they were going all the way to Ethiopia!

Anyway, aNyWaY, ANYWAY!

Finneas slipped into the classroom, awkwardly and with very little grace. He waved hello to all of his students before making way towards Simran, who looked very much in her element. How did she do that and could she provide some tips? "Hello Professor Sandhu," Finneas blinked a few times, before fishing out a slip of parchment from his trouser's pocket. "I have my permission slip." He was somewhat kidding. Somewhat serious. A lot of bit in need of the loo before they headed off. Was there time for a quick potty break or did they have to hold it?

Yes. Finneas Schmoe. Head of Ravenclaw House. "Hello, Professor Schmoe," she said, voice concerned as she watched him stumble into enter her classroom, her eyes turning involuntarily to the telescope -- the most expensive thing in the area. A sudden vision of the telescope being ripped off its hinges, the way it had been in Beauxbatons, flashed through her head, and she had to shake herself to snap out of it.

His permission slip. "Yes, thank you."

Wait. HIS permission slip? She'd given him that permission slip as a joke, because he was in all aspects other than legal, effectively a child.

Oh well. Guess it was all good if he signed it.

Rubbing his face in a futile gesture to remove the sleep from his eyes, Kodee walked inside and zombied his way over to Kaiser. The boy unceremoniously leaned against his friend, trusting him to bare the brunt of the weight while he tried to remember what year it was. He nodded Gunnar closer, figuring if he was gonna have to suffer this early morning nonsense then at least he had his friends with him.

“You didn’t have to try competing with the Headmaster, Professor. I’d love you just as much if you had this field trip sometime after my braincells woke up, honest.” There was no need for this abomination. First 8 am DADA and now this.

Oh. He almost forgot.

Kodee sleepily fished into his pocket and pulled out a crumpled permission slip. What the point of being of age was when you still needed these was beyond him but his was signed.

“All yours, Professor.”


And here was Kodee Chosen, which meant that it was almost time to start the lesson. He'd never quite been the type to arrive obscenely early to a lesson, and she really doubted this field trip would be the thing to do it.

"Competing with the headmaster?" she asked, eyebrow raised quizzically. "Master Chosen, please, this is no competition." And if it was, she'd win.

"Besides, your brain cells will have plenty of time to wake up during this lesson." Slash field trip. "You'll live, I'm sure."

Did she mention she was quite fond of this one?

Still he couldn't help but be excited. This was his first Hogwarts field trip. Best of all, it was in astronomy, and astronomy meant awesome stuff like stars and planets and galaxies, oh my!

He was surprised that his mum let him go, given how far away it was. Hmm… she wouldn't let him go to Beauxbatons last year because it was too far from home, but she was okay with him going all the way to Ethiopia for a field trip? Mum logic, right? Never mind…

A groggy Heath walked into the room, pausing for a quick moment in the doorway to make sure he hadn't done something dumb like forget his permission slip or leave wearing his fuzzy Wookiee slippers with his uniform. No? Good. He gave the professor a small smile as he handed her his permission slip. "H-hello, Professor," he said quietly.

Then Heath's eyes fell to the sack. It was big and bulky, and it sort of looked like Father Christmas's sack. He felt a bit bad for the professor having to carry that thing all by herself! Plucking up his courage to speak again, he asked, "Would you like some help carrying that?"


"Hello, Master Jones," she greeted as the boy entered the room. Always a pleasure to have him in class, as it was with most of her students. But the students who were interested in her subject were just the cherry on top. Any professor would agree, really.

"Thank you," she said, taking his permission slip and straightening the stack once she added the slip to it. It was getting quite thick now, she hadn't been expecting this response at all!

Oh, her bag? But it was just a lovely prop, and she'd had to put it down to straighten the papers anyway. "Thank you for the offer, dear. Take two points. I'll be quite alright, though."

Simran smiled as Austin Spencer walked in, despite his evident despair at being forced to be awake so early on a weekend. Believe her, she knew how horrible it was, but there were many reasons why it had to be today, and right now.

"Good morning, Master Spencer." Still lovely that he was here, though, and that his permission slip was now joining the others.

He strode into Astronomy with a relaxed, content air. All classes should be in the morning, Alessandro decided. It was worlds more productive.

"Good morning, Professor," he nodded, politely. He gingerly rescued the slip from his satchel and handed it to Sandu. It read:

Ah, another student! And this time, even one who seemed not to be too put out by the early hour. It really made Simran feel a little less guilty, and a lot more ready for the day. Who'd have thought that even women her age needed so much reassurance, so early in the morning.

"Good morning, Master Toussaint," she said, placing his permission slip with the others.

The Ravenclaw had been especially looking forward to this day too because of their field trip. He'd never been to Ethiopia before, so this was a good excuse to learn beyond the corners of the classroom.

He offered a bright smile to Professor Sandhu as he offered his permission slip. Drewett then looked around to see if any of his friends were here already, and that was when he spotted Gunnar so he made his way to the head boy. Naturally, he did a quick salute as his way of greeting again. Head boy and all. "Morning," he said. Drewett decided to leave out the fact that Gunnar hadn't looked too pleased with the early morning conditions during breakfast some time ago. There were Kodee and Kaiser too. Drewett nodded towards them as greeting.

He hadn’t came with a permission slip, because he didn’t need one. He was a grown up and capable of taking care of himself and BESIDES, he was here to help keep the kids in check.

Who knew what they’d shoved in their mouths for breakfast knowing that they were getting out of here soon? Probably sugar. Or lots of food in minimal time. So they could potentially be dealing with hyper kids or puking kids. The latter of which he had a couple of leaves in his satchel that would help with nausea or anything.

Wasn’t he a good egg? Were the kids excited? OH LOOK a fellow adult man!!! He was schmoe excited to see Schmoe.


And just before she managed to shut the door, ther snuck a Gurstigius Rainwater through. Simran chuckled, inclined her head towards a seat, and shut the door behind him.

Rainwater was a grown man, yes. He could find his own seat. But MAN was she happy to see him. Having just Schmoe for backup could get dire, especially when one considered that Schmoe was also sometimes more child than adult.


Door shut, she turned to the students (and professors) assembled and took her regular place, for when she was teaching. Right in the centre of the room, clapping her hands to get everyone's attention. There seemed to be a lot more people than normal, however, and it took more than one clap before the noise died down.

Die down, it did, however, and it wasn't long before she was ready to start the lesson.

"Welcome, everyone, to the first seminar lesson for Astronomy this term." Were they excited? Because she certainly was! "I know that many of you are wondering why I'm making you wake up this early on a weekend, and to go to class, no less. There are reasons, and they'll be made clear soon enough, I promise."

"Besides, it's a field trip. Those are fun." At least, she thought so.

"Before we start with any of that, though," she said, reaching into her bag of mystery and pulling out a pair of sunglasses. "What can you tell me about the sun?" Yes, even you, professors.

The enchanted stick of chalk was, as always, ready to take down their responses. Even if it was sulking a little at being woken up before its time.


OOC: Hello everyone, and welcome again! Please no longer post your characters arriving unless you'd like to lose points for it. This lesson will continue in approximately 36 hours.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Claudine had only just overheard Cecelia stated the possibility of them needing to buddy up and she felt her heart sank a little. There was only one person she would willingly team up with and that was Bernadette. Speaking of the lion… Claudine watched the other girl walk over to Blake to begin chatting with him. She rolled her eyes when she realised Blake was blushing. Friend- stealer. A hint of jealousy welled up inside her and she quickly looked away from the pair. Claudine Blaze did not do jealousy; she outright refused to. Then why was she pretending not to notice the waves?

Instead, the second year distracted herself with observing Schmoe’s arrival. Was he… was he really handing over a permission slip? She stared. Surely he didn’t need one; he was an adult. Schmoe was weird indeed but he had grown on Claudine… just as Barlow had.

Now that they were getting started, Claudine zoned in on Sandhu alone. The sun? That made sense it be a topic of the lesson as they were attending the lesson during the day. “It’s a star at the center of the solar system.’’ Basic. Her reply was a basic one one but basics were good, Claudine thought as she lowered her hand.

Not a competition? Riiiiight. She expected him to believe it was all a coincidence that she set her lesson to be even earlier. He may have been sleepy but he wasn’t gullible. Obviously.

Kodee groaned when the door closed for the simple fact it meant the lesson field trip seminar thing would be starting and that meant WORK. Briefly, the boy glanced to Schmoe and Rainwater, wondering how they’d managed to let little ole Sandhu rope them into this. Surely even they could appreciate sleeping in on a weekend. Professors were mostly people, too.

His eyes sank closed, still for now trusting Kaiser for support. He was listening, no worries but somewhere off in the distance he could hear his pillow and blankets calling, urging him to come back, enticing him to drift off.

Lazily—and with much effort—his hand rose. First question. Had to answer. Right. He got this regardless of the position of his eyelids. What did he know about the sun?

“It’s hot.”

Boom. Participated. That was probably it for the day.

Arts TRANSPONSTER!

Catherine's face flushed red when the woman greeted her good morning when she hadn't said anything. That had been extremely rude of her, she knew that, but she was hoping that by being right behind her brother would have stopped the professor from speaking to her altogether, like it happened with other people sometimes. "Good morning..." She quickly replied to the woman her lowest tone because that was too late anyway, so if she hadn't heard... Catherine doubted it would make that much of a difference.

Urgh, Merlin, why couldn't things just go smoothly for her this first week at school??

Honestly, Catherine had almost convinced herself she'd be alone during this trip - possibly shadowing one of the older students she knew just to be on the safe side - so when Cecelia came to join her instead of her brother, she was genuinely surprised. Pleasantly surprised.

Nodding her head, the young brunette sent her best friend the tiniest of smiles, but quickly turned her attention back to the front because she wasn't one to get in trouble. And also because the professor now probably thought she was rude so being caught chatting wouldn't help her.

Catherine was indeed curious to know why that day and that time and also that place they were going to. The professor's question get her thinking, but she couldn't pinpoint anything specific that they might be looking at that morning, especially as she didn't know the area they were going to visit at all. Maybe it was something specific to that place? That'd be nice to see.

But what did they know about the sun? Catherine wondered what kind of answers the professor was looking for. Would saying it was mostly made of hydrogen be good enough? Was that what she was looking for? Or was it more along the lines of how it influenced life on Earth in different ways in different places - that could explain why they were going somewhere else?. Or perhaps it could be something as straight forward as one shouldn't look straight at it becaus--

'It's hot.'

The first year slowly turned her head towards the person who had said that. What in the name of Merlin? Was he joking? Surely he was joking. And he looked like he could be one of the oldest students there. He must be joking. It wasn't a funny joke - it actually made him look stupid -, but Catherine knew many people who thought they were funny and said the silliest things. But in class? What a bad example this boy was. A Gryffindor. Oh dear. Hopefully Cecelia and Noah wouldn't be swayed by that very limited mental capacity.

Yuck.

Oh yes, the permission slip. She took it out of her bag and gave it to the professor. Then she said hi to the people who arrived, specifically Noah and Charlie.

She thought the professor's question was easy to answer, but maybe it wasn't for the younger students. Still, she had to admit: even many after years of studying astronomy, the first thing she thought of is that it's hot. She couldn't say that though ... she raised her hand after she thought of another point."The sun is mostly made of hydrogen."

Phoebe thought Professor Sandhu was sooooooo interesting, and she gazed delightedly at every move the woman made. The sunglasses. The chalk stick thing. All of it. So interesting.

She had her permission slip (yay) and she was ready to go. Stat. Now. Immediately. But in the meantime? Phoebe raised her hand and waved it eagerly. "Oh, professor! Unlike Kodee Chosen, the sun is at the center of our universe."

Did Lucas realise that he was being looked at? Not exactly. Not when his attention was entirely on Sandhu and the list of things he wanted to talk to her about that was forming in his head. She wouldn’t mind, right? He still had every intention to do those extra worksheets that she gave, he did!

But that was something to worry about another day because his focus was starting to drift to something else. Or, well, to two people: Schmoe and Rainwater, but mostly Schmoe because the man seemed to be handing over a piece of parchment? Was that a permission slip? Yeaaaaaaaaah, Lucas was confused. Or it could be a long list of his allergies which, well, seemed more realistic.

No offence, Schmoe.

The smile stayed on the fifth year’s face as he turned his attention to Sandhu again as she started the lesson. A lesson about........ the Sun? His mouth formed into a small ‘o’ of realisation at that. Suddenly, the trip, the country, the time of this lesson..... it was all starting to make sense. Granted, he didn’t know what the field trip was going to include but he felt like he had an idea. Or a guess.

As for the question, his hand shot up into the air. "The sun is a great source of energy for life on Earth. The most important one, actually." The world as they knew it wouldn’t be the same without i-

And then Phoebe answered.

And Lucas had to do everything he could to try not to laugh.

Isla handed over the permission slip then joined the rest of the class waiting to get things underway. A little yawn escaped her, but she hid it well, and she didn't even make much of a sound. She blinked her eyes a few times, widened them, and then considered herself awake enough to start answering questions.

The sun.

Well, that was at least one topic she had seen coming. It was also something she at least had some background information on. They'd even talked about it a good bit at muggle school. She hesitated for a second as she thought about muggle school. She kind of missed it now, even if she was super happy to be at magical school instead. She wondered if her friends missed her, too.

Anyway...back to the sun. She raised her hand. "It's the reason we don't freeze, we have light, and we have plants growing on earth," she said. The sun was pretty much how they were staying alive. If it burnt up, earth would pretty much be a goner. Thank you, muggle school science class.

Blink, blink. Heath was completely floored. He had no idea how Professor Sandhu would react to his offer to help with her bag, but he certainly wasn't expecting points for it! "I, uhh…" Come on! Words, Heath! "Thank you, Professor," he finally managed to squeak before scurrying off to the nearest empty seat.

His curiosity about the bag only grew when the professor pulled a pair of sunglasses out of it. Was that bag full of nothing but hundreds of pairs of sunglasses? Were they regular sunglasses or magic ones that would let you view the sun safely…? She mentioned the sun, and looking at the sun, even with sunglasses on, was dangerous.*

Heath had sooo many questions that it was hard to put them aside to concentrate on the subject at hand. Okay, something about the sun. Ooh, he knew this! The problem was his mind was buzzing with so many facts about the sun, he didn't know which one to give. He didn't want to say the wrong thing and look dumb in front of everybody… though whatever answer he gave, he supposed it couldn't possibly be as bad as the "It's hot" guy.

Heath's hand shot up, and when the professor called on him, he said, "The sun is about 92.96 million miles away from the earth." How far was that in parsecs? The thought crossed his mind to ask, but then he remembered she (and the rest of the class) probably didn't know what a parsec was so he kept his mouth shut. He could always calculate it on his own later… or try to, anyway. He was really bad at math!

Permission slip, right. Kaiser took his out of his pocket - he'd folded it up quite small, so it was more creased with straight lines than crumpled - opened it all the way up, and handed it over. And then finally offered a belated, "Morning." Yes. It was definitely a morning.

And here was Kodee, predictably zombie-ing his way into the room. Some things never changed, and that thought was oddly comforting. Kaiser did indeed remain solid and upright and, by all accounts, a sturdy post for Kodee to lean on. And then he saw him beckoning Gunnar closer, but immediately pretended he hadn't noticed. He wouldn't make a big deal out of it or anything; that wouldn't be remotely fair. Plus, he could be civil. Frustratingly so, as it turned out.

Anyway, right. Moving on. Onto the sun. Well, not onto the sun. It was hot, as Kodee had said. A bit too hot for that. Speaking of Kodee, Kaiser reached across and helpfully propped his head upright with one hand, so that he could still provide leaning-post services, but at least nobody could accuse him of not trying to keep his friend awake. This was not a friend who made that kind of thing easy. Kaiser sometimes suspected Kodee would sleep through an upended bucket of ice cold water, if it ever came to that.

Oh, right. The question. Kaiser answered it with the same almost-toneless voice he'd greeted Sandhu with. "It's huge. Well over a million Earths could fit inside it. Theoretically." Just like the sun's exact size, the precise number of Earths that could fit inside it never stuck in his head, especially not these days, but that answer would serve. It was, at least, an answer.

Finneas continued to smile uncomfortably at all the students who trickled in, though he did wordlessly gravitate towards Gus. Children made him nervous sometimes, it was nice to be with a proper adult every now and then, y’know? And so he fiddled with the fabric of his robes as he waited for shenanigans to begin! And boy, oh boy! Did they ever!!

Schmoe was very eager to participate in the lesson. Was he allowed to participate? He wasn’t too sure. Which is perhaps why he was so hesitant to raise his own hand. It was only the EAGER need to respond to the question that inevitably did it. And so he raised his hand, just as eager as anyone else in the room!

"Errrr. The sun has been an object of mystery and awe in many cultures throughout the history of the human race,” it was a fascinating commonality that everyone shared. The sun. It was present for all, you know!? It was no wonder that there were so many mythical references to that great big ball of gas in the sky. ”In many cultures the sun is worshiped, while in others it is thought to be a supernatural entity. The sun crops up again! and! again! within the contexts of various cultures and errr religious practices as well.” He nervously fiddled with his bowtie. ”Take the solar calendar of the Aztec people. Just one example of our fascination with the sun, as a human species.” Schmoe found the sun fascinating too. Which is why he was SO excited for this field trip. ”It errr is also very interesting to note that the earliest dieties associated with the sun are all goddesses.” Powerful women were everywhere. Even the sky, it seemed.

”Hey Ewan,” Cordelia returned the prefect’s greeting. Ah, Professor Sandhu was speaking now which meant they were leaving, right? Ew, why did they have to answer questions before the field trip? It was far too early in the morning to be thinking. Cordelia glanced at the younger girl who had said the sun was the center of the universe. That was…. Not correct, unless Cordelia was mistaken. ”The sun is the center of our solar system but not, as some astronomers used to believe, the center of the universe.” Did the universe even have a center? Cordelia couldn’t even comprehend the size of the universe, much less calculate the center of it. The universe was mind-bogglingly big. And to think she thought it was a long walk from Gryffindor Tower to potions class. That was just peanuts to space.

Why was Professor Schmoe answering the questions too? Wasn’t he supposed to leave that for the students? And had he just handed the astronomy professor a permission slip? Why in Merlin’s name did a professor need a permission slip? Whelp. If this was what Hogwarts was sending to look after them, she was NOT confident that they were in good hands. Quite the opposite, in fact. How was it that Headmaster Trent was allowing Schmoe to be in charge of a whole house of students? Cordelia felt quite glad that she wasn’t a Ravenclaw. In general she didn’t trust any adults to keep her safe except for maybe a select few care workers at Stemp House. It was somewhat of a comfort to her that Gus would also be joining them for this field trip. While she wouldn’t say that she liked him, she trusted Gus a great deal more than Schmoe as adult supervision. Not that she cared much for adult supervision anyway. Usually she was more worried about how to sneak away from the adult supervision than if the adult supervision could competently supervise.

Noah grinned at Charlie who decided to saunter over, and his attention was quickly drawn to the other adults in the room. Well, yeah it was quite obvious why their Head of House would need fellow professors on this trip, not that she's old or anything, but there were lots of them...and most likely excitable ones too. It wasn't just any trip like going to the nearby museum, it was going to be in another country.

Anyway, onto the topic of the sun. Well, it was pretty basic science, right? He knew it was hot, it was huge, it was a ball of burning gas etc etc., and what else? Merlin, if only he took his muggle studies seriously back then, then he wouldn't have to be thinking long and hard to answer this question. Noah briefly looked at Catherine who was now with Cece and wondered what his twin might be thinking. He was sure she's got all the answers. The Gryffindor then looked out the window and triiiiieeed his best to recall any other information that hasn't been mentioned yet.

Ooh! Hand up! "It's the reason why Earth and the rest of the planets in our solar system remain in orbit, professor!" he said, quite pleased with himself. Well would you look at that? Stealing Catherine's science homework in muggle school came in handy. Oops?

Now that's done, can they go noooow?

Permission slip handed in, Whitney was ready to go already. I mean, it wasn't everyday one got to go on a field trip. Even if it was to a university instead of say, a park or something. It was nice to be able to get away from all the dust and cleaning. But first, it appeared they had to sit through a hopefully short lesson. (And yes, she was ignoring the fact that her odd head of house had actually added his own permission slip to the pile on Sandhu's desk.)

"In about 5 billion years, it'll turn into a red giant that'll consume the planets of Mercury and Venus and possibly Earth too. And even if it doesn't consume Earth, it'll be close enough to render it inhabitable," the Ravenclaw piped up in response to the question. Grim, sure. But not really something they had to worry about happening in their lifetime.

*sappysapper* MAJNOO, YO!

Astronomy really wasn't her thing. She had TRIED to make it so, but poor grades had taken part in her lack of interest in the field. But this was a seminar - one she was definitely interested in because who didn't enjoy a field trip?

Signed slip in place, the brunette wiggled in her seat excitedly as the professor began her class. The sun? One day it would consume the earth. It would burn bright and hot, and consume them all. She had definitely read that somewhere. But maybe that was too morbid to mention.

She REALLY wanted to say something interesting about it though, and not the obvious things like it being hot or it being the reason we don't freeze. It was honestly like her classmates weren't even trying. Kodee Chosen certainly wasn't.

When Professor Schmoe spoke though - Missa SMILED because THAT was interesting, and something she had read too. "I read the Aztec people actually believed they needed to perform rituals and offer sacrifices for the sun to have enough strength to rise each day," she chimed in after him.

SPOILER!!: Answers the Professor about his slip

“Professor, I’ve already handed in my permission slip” gesturing to the pile of slips that she already had on her desk. He was sure he’d already placed it on her pile as he walked in. Maybe he didn’t? After all, he was a little distracted when he’d walked in, what with Minjae talking about him and all. Putting that out of his head now, he checked his pockets and found nothing. He must have handed his slip in. He was sure the professor would find it if she looked again.


Focusing on the lesson at hand now, he looked at the Professor as she discussed the trip. Ewan really didn’t mind astronomy. Sure, it wasn’t his favourite thing but it was quite interesting when you think about it. The amount of space up there and the planets, solar systems, galaxies, black holes…There was were endless things to discover out there. Now who didn’t find that fascinating? “The sun is actually not that big depending on what you compare it to. It’s the biggest thing in our solar system but if you compare it to some of the other stars out there, or red giants, it’s not actually that big” answering her question with a small smile on his face as he considered how big the sun was and then how big some of the other stars were out there. It really was just mind blowing.

Even some of the other answers that his fellow class mates had gives were just as interesting, if not more than his, particularly that of Professor Schmoe’s and then Missa’s too. This reminded him of something he’d read about the Egyptians and their beliefs about the sun. “The Egyptians actually believed that there was a sun god called Ra. They worshiped him and considered him to be the king of all gods which kind of shows how important the sun was, even back then when people didn’t really know what it was” adding on to their answers now. He just loved all of the ancient civilizations and found them just as fascinating as space. Honestly, there wasn’t a lot that this prefect wasn’t interested in.
