Upon entering the room, you notice the constellations moving slowly, though considerably faster than they actually would, throughout the room. There are huge pillows on countertops, but that's where they stay unless Professor Belle tells you otherwise.
On Prof. Belle's desk is a pot of tea, still upon a small fire to keep it at a pleasant temperature through the class period, and a tray of cookies of several varieties. Sitting imperiously on Prof. Belle's desk is her cat, Cepheus.

"Nope, the Waning Crescent sets at 3pm. Can someone tell me when the Waxing Gibbous sets?"

Dis raised her hand from the back of the room, quiet up until now, "This is a shot in the dark but would it be around 5 or 6 pm?"

Not having a clue, Dis tried her best to reason her answer. If the waxing crescent sets at 3pm and the waxing gibbous sets at 3am, they're both opposites, 180 degrees away from each other, 12 hours apart. At opposite intervals, the Waning crescent would set at 3am and the waning gibbous would set at 3pm, again 12 hours apart. It's peak would be at the 6 hour mark, making the wanning gibbous at it's meridian at 9pm.
Dis raised her hand. "Would it be at 9pm?" she said, almost wincing, knowing that she probably didn't get the question right.

Erinelle ran her hand through her black hair and thought that she had no idea what so ever. She could try to think of some thing but at the moment, her brain had entirely melted.

(hint: the meridian is when the moon is at it's highest in the nighttime sky)

Dis pondered the hint for a moment and decided to change her answer. "Professor, would it be closer to 10 pm? After midnight, the dark starts to wane but I could be wrong. Astronomy isn't my strong suit but at least I'm trying. Wait, the witching hour isn't midnight for nothing. That's the darkest night. Anything before that is leading up to it and anything after that is waning away from it. Ok, another change. I'm going to say midnight. Final answer."
OOC--No, that's not a play on Who Wants to be a Millionaire!

Erinelle shrugged, and decided to give it ago, "3 am?" She said clearly.

Kerry continued to take notes quietly, it was her first class and she wanted to take it all in and learn everything she could. Unsure of the anwer, she listened to her friends answered, and tried to think of a guess.

She tapped her wand on the board in front of the class and the homework appeared:
Quote:
Why is the moon, and not the stars, considered the Earth’s constant companion? (2pts)
How long does it take the moon to complete one celestial circuit? (1pt)
What is a lunar phase? How many are there (hint: there are 8)? (2 pts)
Why do we only see one face of the moon? (1pt)
Pretend you’re on the moon. During which moon phase would you see a “full earth”? a “new earth”? (4pts)
All homework should be owled (PM'd) to me, adorable_lil_thing before 8PM CST (GMT - 6) on the 29th of November.
Hazelle smiled at the students, "Don't forget to put the balls in the box before you leave today!"

"No, not midnight, midnight is for the full moon."
(ooc: slytherinsissa: you were so close on your first response. You just got your times mixed up. Good try though!!)

Erinelle noted down the homework and packed her things away. She smiled warmly, that had been an interesting lesson indeed. She left the classroom, her black hair swinging.
