| | Astronomy Lesson 3 - Bethlehem's Star ooc: Please note, I will be referring to the "Star of Bethlehem" from the Christian Nativity story, but I will not be discussing whether or not this is fact or myth. Please keep an open mind and do not get offended. It is simply a way for me to step away from the moon and cover several different spacial happenings.
Upon entering the room you find a bright light hovering above Hazelle's desk as she serenly sits beneath it, the steaming pot of tea and Christmas shaped cookies lay out on her desk ready for the taking. |

Emily entered the room and, seeing some delicious cookies, took one before sitting down. "Thanks, Professor. They look delicious!"

Serena stepped into the classroom, excited at the prospect of another Astronomy lesson. The class was quickly becoming a favorite of hers. "Good day professor!" She exclaimed whilst selecting a cookie from the desk. Taking a seat, she placed her bag on the floor, her attention quickly being brought to focus on the bright light hanging overhead.

Ryuu Cyprian Andrei Minister's Office | you live your life just once, so don't forget about a thing called love. Tails entered the classroom. Bag slung over her shoulder, she noticed the teacher sitting at her desk. She notices the christmas cookies on the desk and smiles innocently at Professer Hazel.
"Hello Professor. Lovely day isn't it?" She slides one of the cookies of the tray. "Thank you," she added smiling.
She then proceeded towards the back of the class and sits down, pulling out a pen, some paper, and then went to watching people enter the classroom. Her eyes caught sight of the bright light hovering over top Professer Hazelle's desk. It was so pretty, she just couldn't look away...

Hogwarts RPG Name: Jesse Salonen Seventh Year | Jesse delightfuly walked into the Astronomy classroom for yet another lesson. He smiled cheerfully at Professor Belle and took one of the cookies she was offering. "Thank you, Professor. Hope you're having a wonderful evening." He turned around and sat at one of the desks that was closest to hers. Taking out his writing utensils for class, he patiently sat there and waited for the lesson to begin.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Professor McFarlane Graduated | IndyEddie Hazelle smiled as each student entered her classroom, giving a quick second glance to Lua, the spiked haired Gryffindor, then began to recite: "we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him..."
She paused and looked around the room, "For years people have celebrated a holiday called Christmas, though 'pagan' in origin, it had been taken over by those who believed a baby had been born to save the world, and the first sign, these people claim, was a star that directed wisemen to the child.
"Now, this star, as they referred to it, lay over a little town called Bethlehem some 2000 years ago, and what was so unique and different about was the brightness, for it was even visible in the daylight. So, it did catch attention. Not some ordinary star, so wisemen, most likely astrologers that kept well documented astronomical records, would up and follow to where this 'star' led.
"There is some things the star also could have done to attract attention to direct them to a specific area, but let's focus on the star itself. Besides being a star, there are Five other possibilities for it. Name one."
(ooc: this means that several of you have a chance, but only name one possibility.)

Vince raised his hand hoping he got the right answer, "It could've been a galaxy." He didn't know if it was the right or wrong answer.

Carhill raised his hand. It was the first time he had spoken in the class before. "A piece of rock from space that has entered the earth's atmosphere and is being burned up." Carhill says, hoping that he's correct.
