Leaving the door to the classroom ajar to allow the warm September breeze to flow through the classroom from one of the open windows, Professor Marion Burbage has set up a table next to the door with rows of Muggle soda bottles of various flavors lined up along with empty plastic cups. The professor is currently seated and looking over two photographs that you cannot make out just what of in the front of the classroom.
Beside the display of two-liter pop bottles is a seating chart of the classroom and a note that reads:

Taylor raised her hand, "Professor isnt that Sir Issac Newton, the one who found out gravity or whatnot from an apply falling on his head when he was asleep?" She wasnt too sure but it looked like the one...

Logan was happy when he saw who the Professor was asking them to identify. He was pretty sure he knew who the man was, and he did want to get points for Hufflepuff. Raising his hand, he said, "That is Sir Isaac Newton and he discovered gravity."
Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.
Oakey took a quick look at the image that was enlarged then shown to the class. He couldn't place it as to who this man was, but he looked just like someone from his History of Magic Text Book. He put one hand under his chin and laid it's elbow onto the table as he inspected it some more. "Professor"...He paused to take another sip of the Orange soda from his cup. "Is that Xenophilius Lovegood?"
well okay, maybe it wasn't him, what did Lovegood ever do that was Astronomy related? At least there were similarities to each other, like the hair."I think it's him? It looks like him anyways."
"Thank you for the soda." Faye said before the lesson and begun. Shortly after opening the soda and taking a sip the Professor began the lesson.
....
Studmuffin?? Did the professor really say that about the old bloke?? Goodness, Hogwarts really held alot of secrets. She smiled though, she hoped she had the right answer.
"Sir Isaac Newton?" Faye said hoping she was right. She had to be, she had seen him before...but what did she know about him. Did she really remember anything he's ever done.
She sighed and gave it a whirl. "Didn't he discovery Gravity?" Faye asked hoping that she was right and was not making a fool of herself.
Marion did require PROPER uniform, but she decided to let this one slide for now. The girl had greeted her after all. "Hello dear. Please dooooooo remember your tie for the next lesson."
All that fuss just because she didn't have a mirror? Right, that settled it, Elijah was mental.
And she got called by the professor for not having a tie? SO what was that thing around her neck then, a fox's tail? This woman was looney too.
Em listened as the lady introduced both herself and her subject. The class stuff was mostly all stuff that she had heard before. But when she saw the picture Burbage was asking about, the girl raised her hand. "Thats Sir Isaac Newton, and besides all the normal things muggles know about, we know that he was an alchemist, or well, know that he studied it." like the ye old timey alchemy stuff.
Juliette twisted her lips as she thought, a trait she got from her dad. That looked like someone she remembered, but she couldn't think of who it was. And the names running through her brain didn't help at all, since none of them registered with the picture she was seeing. He did have nice hair though. She would have to figure out how to get it like that.
Realizing how weird she looked, she returned her face to normal and nervously put her hand slowly into the air, dropping it slowly down every couple of seconds.
"Isn't that Sir Issac Newton? He discovered gravity when he was writing in his diary and an apple fell on his head. He also discovered the three laws of Nature." She hoped that was right, becuase if not she looked like an idiot.

Oh and he sees Elijah sitting a few seats away looking at them. He raises his glass in a small toast to greet his best bud. Cheers!
Louisa eyed all the youngsters suspiciously, they better NOT go on sugar overload. First class of the term, she did not want to run around like a fussy old lady glance toward the prof trying to prevent a circus from breaking out. When she lifted her gaze to where Vickers seemed to raise his cup to, her eyes just squint slightly at the person that is Wis part of the Spewis.

Flicking her wand towards one of the photographs on the table in the front, she levitated it into the air and gave her wand another firm flick to enlarge it. Once it was of appropriate size, Professor Burbage was ooh-ing and aw-ing and turning into an elderly fangirl at the man's portrait.
SPOILER!!: LARGE photo
"Can anyone tell me whoooooooo this studmuffin is?" she asked as she gestured towards the picture. "You may include ONE fact about him if you know. But please, doooooo leave out how handsome he is and how looooooovely his hair is. I already know and have just said these things."
Oh ho ho ho ho.!
And finally class officially started.
Louisa rested her elbow on her desk and watched the professor showing them the picture of.. well... her classmates were giving quite some nice suggestions. The Ravenclaw did nothing then but gulping down what was left in her cup and then raise her hand. "I agree with the ones that said this is Sir Isaac Newton. I've seen another picture of him, though. Shabbier hair. He's the famous man with the story of the apple." She looked up every Isaac there is in history when she was looking up her dad so... no messing with the girl in that department.

"That will be minus 5 to you dear. Such behavior will siiiiiiiiiimply not be tolerated in my classroom."
How ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!
So class had officially started. Cassia's attention was brought back to the Professor after she had been watching student doing whatever they were doing. She didn't feel like getting engaged in any conversation because she wasn't sure that she'd be able to end it fast. So thoughtful of her to stay silent. And that was a very rare thing! If only the professor knew this, because in Cassia's case in would deserve earning points for keeping her mouth sealed so far. Unlike that student who just caused them 5 points. Cassia shot her a look. Though it wasn't a mean look neither was it a kind one.
And West wanted to make a rocket. Cassia glanced at the bottle of hers. How are rockets made? She wondered. A mental note to ask West how and if they were taking the bottles for their own use, she will give it to him because she really wasn't going to do anything with it. Wait...Wilde? Wasn't West's last name Odessa? He changed it? Cassia didn't know if that was even possible. Maybe it was.
So back to the Professor and that picture. Cassia squinted her eyes at the old dude and her face had a blank stare. Was they supposed to recognize him or nod saying oooh sure that's....... Well, Cassia doesn't remember seeing the man before in her life. But she was going to try and guess. Raising her hand, "Well, he is an old man," Cassia started , "A former professor at Hogwarts perhaps?" she offered . And he wasn't really handsome, she wanted to add. But Professor said only one fact, so probably she'd get to share her thoughts on the man's lookings later. And what were other students saying? Weird names...mugglish names actually. Cassia shook her head..could that man be a muggle. She stared at the man questioningly as if he might just answer that. Could he?

Hmm...
The professor hadn't spoken to Sierra, but then again, Sierra hadn't exactly said anything to her either. She guessed they were even then. She stared at the picture and made a face when the woman mentioned how she thought the man was handsome.
Eww...maybe in 1 B.C. Now, though? Ummm...no.
However... "That's Sir Isaac Newton," Sierra said, raising her hand. "...and he came up with the idea that something only moves if you cause it to move, and it'll stay moving until...well, something stops it."
Honestly?! THAT was what he came up with? ...whatever. Oh, and...was it bad that she almost wanted to laugh at the paper toss?
She'd heard her name, though, hadn't she? It hadn't been from the professor, she was sure. She chanced a look to the side of her and saw...oh. It was HER. Sierra didn't quite know what to think, but...she nodded once in the direction of that Vivi girl she'd met sometime over the summer.
Did she like her? Hate her? Hmm... A nod it would be for now.

The blonde guy took a book from his bag and started to read it. Then his blue eyes caught there was a Slytherin girl (Elektra) who was sitting next to him. Her face didn't look familiar for him. Well, mostly he just knew some people from Slytherin since he wasn't a sociable person. He just gave her a tiny small and back to read his book.
Okay, class has started
Gary paid attention to the Professor who showed them a photograph of a man. "Can anyone tell me whoooooooo this studmuffin is?" Well, this Professor was a bit.. weird. But he ignored how weird the Professor was and paid attention to the lesson. Yes, he did knew the man at the photograph. "That's Sir Isaac Newton, Professor." said him as he raised his man. "The man behind Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation."

There. I'm more attractive than that slime. Ganymede ran a hand through her purple hair and even practiced a few winks. These were to her desk, it probably looked like she was insane. ::
Scourgifying the plastic cup (a few times), Dylan opened his orange soda bottle and poured some. He was a bit surprised at all the talking... This was a new Professor. Most of them didn't appreciate the chatter...
Meh. Whatever. What did he care?
Oh, she was there...He hadn't even noticed. Sorry about that, lady...
Suddenly, the Captain felt something hit him. Not hard, mind you...but he'd felt it all the same. Turning around quickly, he looked for the culprit and noticed a girl giving him a weird look.
Had she thrown it? And why did she look like she was having an eye-seizure? Ruffling his hair like he liked to do, something fell out and settled on his lap. Offering the weird girl a nasty glare, Dylan turned back towards the front of the room.
He WOULD get her back...

He caught the bit about a photo...and seconds later, one was enlarged for all to see...
Well...Dylan didn't know but he figured he could contribute something to the discussion. *le raising of the hand* "A muggle with great hair?"
Yep. Not a follower. We get that it's Isaac Newton, people.

Vague directions were vague. Plus, Merlin only knew who she was speaking to. Did SHE know who she was speaking to? Since she thought West was a Wilde.
That earned a toothy grin towards the real Wilde in the room. Grrriiiiiiiin.
Time to sip some SODA and be wow'd and awed by the answers of her peers. There was a time and place to answer questions, when Aspen's answer was worth something - but when half the class had already identified the man what was the point in drawing attention to herself? Naaaawwww.
Plus West would want to answer and Aspen didn't want to take away from him.
SIIIIIIIIPPING on soda, Aspen lightly chewed on the rim of her glass, being sure she was in view of Elijah. But her thoughts were drifting to Gary and his apples. Maybe he was a direct descendent of Newton?

Studmuffin. Vickers blinked at the kindly old wizened Professor. He heard Newton called a lot of things, studdmuffin though-- that has got to be a first for him.
Now up goes the hand to answer the question "Professor, that Englishman is named Sir Isaac Newton, and he was one of the astronomers who supported the idea of Heliocentrism-- which today is the accepted astronomical model of the Earth and our Solar System."

Juliet was enjoying the drink. It had that sweet mix and at the same time she liked the fizz. She has no idea as to why she kept staring on her glass but she did. When all of a sudden she was interrupted by a voice beside her. WHOAH! She sat down without noticing someone was already sitting there in the first place.
And speaking of which, she turned to the front to see the professor. "H-hello, professor" clearly that was a delayed greeting. Why was she always spacing out, which is not a good time because it is just her first day in school. Juliet bit her lower lip and lowered her head. Sorry.
Her eyes gazed at the person and found that she's sitting beside the pretty Slytherin she met during the feast. Juliet liked Cass and you can see it in her glittering eyes once more everytime she sees her. "Hello Cass" she smiled. And when she mentioned her name, Juliet nodded. Yup, that's her. "This is fun" she whispered to Cass about the drink that is. Are they only allowed to try 1 drink? Can they get seconds?
"Yes it is." She replied briefly with a smile, not wanting to let the conversation flow - for the moment at least - since class was just about to start.

Oh ho ho ho ho.
She looked at the seating chart - which she was holding upside down by the way - and found the boy's name. "I doooo like the way you think, Mr. Wilde." Because that was the name written in the square on her parchment. "Could you please keep that thought for a moment." The boy earned himself a wink and sparkle points with her however.

Cass raised her hand to answer before saying "I think that Sir Isaac Newton, Professor." Right? Well, he did resemble Newton in most of his pictures - so she was pretty sure. And since everyone was already saying that he was the one who came up with the three laws of motion and what not, she wasn't going to answer that "He is the first scientist ever to be knighted!" She answered simply, throwing out that bit of trivia out there.

Studmuffin? Hannah wasn't sure how she felt about this professor, but she knew that she would do what she had to. She could adapt to her personality in order to get what she needed out of this class... which was lots of points and a good grade.
She looked at the picture and racked her brain about who it was. Normally she wouldn't know anything about such muggle nonsense. It totally HAD to muggle because it took Hannah a minute to place the man, and Hannah knew everything there was to know about magic...clearly!
She raised her hand. "Professor that is Sir Issac Newton." hmmm... what about him? "He's supposed to be the greatest scientist that ever lived." Whatever! He was a muggle and Hannah didn't care. She only wanted a good grade.
"Good afternoon, darling," she nodded to the Ravenclaw boy that had come in. Ho ho ho, she was just going to need to get her hands on her seating chart soon so she could start learning names....
"Heeelloooooo, dear," she sang as her eyes TWINKLED.
"Hello there, darling," she smiled at the young Hufflepuff. Oh, another studmuffin in the making right there.
"Boooooooonjour darling," Marion sang as she greeted this one. Using hellos and good days was becoming rather monotonous.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm!
Another Hufflepuff boy it seemed needed to learn from her little Casanova. Hmmmmmmm.
And this one received an eyebrow raise in return. "Dear, you will remove those thiiiiiiiiiings from your mouth, please, and put them away." No fangs in the classroom or it would be out she would go.
Out out shoo shoo.
"Hello dear," the elderly woman giggled at the young boy. So much enthusiasm!
Marion cleared her throat for this boy as well. Again. Slytherins. Manners. Hmmmmmmm.
No tie? Hmmmmmmm...
Marion did require PROPER uniform, but she decided to let this one slide for now. The girl had greeted her after all. "Hello dear. Please dooooooo remember your tie for the next lesson."
Hmmm....while she hated to do this...
"5 point for not following instructions properly, dear," she sighed. No soda? No cup. NO GREETING! Had the boy greeted her proplerly and politely she would have overlooked his error.
OOC: my rules state that you must NOT edit your posts. Please read all instructions carefully ;)
"Good afternoon dear," she smiled.
"Hello there dear," she nodded.
"Hello darling." Hmm, this one seemed a little depressed as well. Hmmm...
Hmmmmmmmmmm.... no greeting.... hmmmmmmmmmm....
"Hello dear," she chirped while making her way towards the back of the classroom. It was getting about time.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Gert," she said with a small wink.
Hmmmmmmmm... seemed Hufflepuff also needed a female version of Ms. Casanova to teach manners...
Hmmmmmmmm...
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Professor Burbage EYED the boy as she continued to walk.
"At my service! Oh hohohoooo," she laughed, patting the boy on the shoulder. "I shall ceeeeeeeeeertainly keep that in mind." She might need volunteers later after all.
Oh ho.
"Hello dear," she replied, inclining her head.
Oh, what a lovely smile this one had! "Good day, darling."
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Marion raised an eyebrow at this young woman as well. Just because SOMEONE was SOMEWHAT famous did not mean that manners could be forgotten...like greeting the professor.
"Nothing of interest really darling," she replied with a wave of the hand as she passed the girl. "I am sure your holiday was muuuuuuuuuch more exciting."
STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE
Well, the girl HAD apologized...
Running....not reading instructions...NO GREETING OF THE PROFESSOR. Marion had had it up to here with ruuuuuuuuude Slytherins by name and her eye twitch was an indication of this. "10 points from Slytherin for failure to follow instructions, darling." Among OTHER things.
MORE EYE TWITCHING!
At least this boy had followed instructions.
Oh goodness gracious HEAVENS....
Another student who remained silent... at least she had followed instructions.
"Hello dear, take this on your way," she said as she handed the girl a soda. She was simply toooo exhausted at the moment to consider more point loss at the moment.
Making her way now from the back of the room to the front, Professor Burbage carried the seating chart in her hands and cleared her throat. "Hello and gooooooood day, students," she said in her usual sing song voice. "My name is Professor Burbage and I will be instructing you in the noble field of Astronomy this term.

The redhead could not help but blush a little when the professor called her out on the whole food thing. It was not that she was trying to eat in her class, ALTHOUGH SHE WOULD TOTALLY LOVE THAT, it was just that she had not eaten breakfast. And a lady as cute and lovely as she could understand when a girl needed to eat. Although, Selina was a tad perplexed when the lady told her that she would not be taking the final cookie. Why not? Everyone could use cookies ALL the time. Was she alright? Did she need tea or something to go with it.
Now Selina was concerned. She did not want her Professor being malnourished. The redhead awkwardly added, "Professor are you sure? I don't want you to faint or something during the lesson... maybe I could bring you cookies or something after the lesson?" Or have Kurumi send them to her. Whoever did it, the lady needed cookies... everyone did.
Selina caught the slight eye roll that Kurumi shot in direction when she pushed the box her way. What did Kurumi expect? Technically, the fact that her box was empty was Kurumi's fault. If she had woken Selina up that morning she would not have needed to resort to such last minute resources of food, aka the cookies. And if she did not need to eat the food then the box would still be in the lamest hiding place where she had left them. So if she was upset, she should be upset with herself. Because she hadn't woken her up. That made sense, right?
However, she did not comment when the professor started the lesson and propped up the picture of the... studmuffin? Okay then. Whatever THAT meant. But suddenly everyone was answering with all of these random people and Selina had to admit that she did not think that was Newton at all. Didn't Newton make cookies or something? And wasn't his first name Fig? She was certain that was it.
So she rose her hand and answered the question to who SHE thought he was,"Excuse me, ma'am. That right there is Jacopo Peri." Yes it was... because who ELSE would it be?

Vivi hmmphed a bit at the claims that the man in the painting had discovered gravity. Discovered it, hmm? "Discovering gravity is a bit like falling over and insisting you've discovered dirt. He may have developed the first theories about it, but he didn't find gravity glued to the bottom of his apple. People didn't go spinning off to the moon before Sir Isaac came along."
There was grumbling for sure, but she also had a factoid of her own. House points, please? "Sir Isaac also studied optics, Professor. His use of reflecting mirrors in his telescope was a vast improvement upon the lens systems in the versions other astronomers were using."

She looked at the seating chart - which she was holding upside down by the way - and found the boy's name. "I doooo like the way you think, Mr. Wilde." Because that was the name written in the square on her parchment. "Could you please keep that thought for a moment." The boy earned himself a wink and sparkle points with her however.
Pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose, she looked back to the class. "Now...wheeeeeeeeeere was I? Oh yes! Astronomy, as many of you alreeeeeeeady know natural science that deals with the study of celestial objects. Stars and planets and those sorts of things for those of you who would like a little more basic image. Today we shall be discussing something a little more...outside of the box."
Flicking her wand towards one of the photographs on the table in the front, she levitated it into the air and gave her wand another firm flick to enlarge it. Once it was of appropriate size, Professor Burbage was ooh-ing and aw-ing and turning into an elderly fangirl at the man's portrait.
SPOILER!!: LARGE photo
"Can anyone tell me whoooooooo this studmuffin is?" she asked as she gestured towards the picture. "You may include ONE fact about him if you know. But please, doooooo leave out how handsome he is and how looooooovely his hair is. I already know and have just said these things."
Oh ho ho ho ho.
Aspen had to but West didn't? West wasn't sure what to make of this. He sucked on a plastic fang and listened as the professor started the lesson. Sort of.
Wilde? Like Oscar? He decided to just see where that was going. In case it turned out to be a good thing. Like if he accidentally lost points, would that mean that boy over there would lose points? West, much like his sister, smiled a fang-filled, toothy smile, at Elijah.
The most important question. West put his hand up and again spoke around teeth. "What's a studmuffin?" Paaause. "He was a wizard that was born and grew up before the International Statute of Secrecy was established in 1692. Obviously, that is why he's wearing robes in that portrait.There's lots of people like him that were famous to muggles as well, and when the statute got made and stuff, all that had to get explained and covered up too." West had a book, in fact. "He was even in muggle parliament the same year that the statute first got signed, and only for that year, because he was keeping an eye on things, you know, on account of the King and Queen not accepting the wizard delegation?Anyways, Isaac Newton was totes a cool dude and real awesomesauce at transfiguration, he even disguised himself with magic so he could interrogate counterfeiters, cos he was doing alchemical research, see?" West, iin his enthusiasm, hit his desk with the flat of both hands, making cup and bottle jump, and then put one back up in the air again, "But the moooost important thing is ROCKETS, professor, which he figured out you can make stuff happen because of natural laws, and without using magic." Because Newton's laws totally related to those. It was IMPORTANT.

That earned a toothy grin towards the real Wilde in the room. Grrriiiiiiiin.
Time to sip some SODA and be wow'd and awed by the answers of her peers. There was a time and place to answer questions, when Aspen's answer was worth something - but when half the class had already identified the man what was the point in drawing attention to herself? Naaaawwww.
Plus West would want to answer and Aspen didn't want to take away from him.
SIIIIIIIIPPING on soda, Aspen lightly chewed on the rim of her glass, being sure she was in view of Elijah. But her thoughts were drifting to Gary and his apples. Maybe he was a direct descendent of Newton?

But he ignored how weird the Professor was and paid attention to the lesson. Yes, he did knew the man at the photograph. "That's Sir Isaac Newton, Professor." said him as he raised his man. "The man behind Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation."
.... West had thoughts about apples, and Newton, and exchanged a look with his sister.

Hannah made her way into class and spotted Elliot right away. Unfortunately she was with that silly Presley girl, but that didn't matter to her at all. Maybe she would get mad that Hannah was there at all and storm off! It would be nice if she would lose some points. Putting the evil thoughts aside from now she greeted the professor. "Hello Professor!" She grabbed a green bottle, plastic cup and plopped down beside Elliot. Hannah has never had something like this before to drink so she was interested.

Presley was furious! With herself, fr forgetting to read the rules, and losing points for Ravenclaw, and with the professor for caring so much. Pres wanted to say Don't you know who I am? In the real world, I matter so much more than you ever will. But she didn't. She couldn't lose more points. All of Ravenclaw would be furious with her. They were still in the negatives.
So Presley smiled sweetly. "I'm so sorry, Professor Burbage. I've just been so caught up in coming back that I forgot to read the rules. I'll go change this instant and be right back." After all, the Astronomy tower wasn't that far from her common room. And truthfully, she had entirely forgotten about uniforms in her year at Beauxbatons. She stood up, sending a sharp glare at Jayden, so the girl wouldn't be tempted to steal Presley's seat.
And Elliot started to talk to her. Um...not dressed up Elliot! Dressed normally. By Presley standards this was practically casual attire. And after the professor yelled at her, even Elliot was sending evil glares at Presley. "Yeah, don't worry about it. I'm not smiley anymore." And with that, Presley strode out of the room to change and come back.

Stupid Lacey.

Which was good because Professor Burbage was probably really mad at Presley, and would love an excuse to take an extra couple of points for tardiness. She slipped back into her seat between Jayden and Elliot, who seemed to be having a disagreement...over snoring it sounded like? Who cared? Not Presley for sure. And after that whole thing over uniforms, Presley wasn't going to drink a drop of her soda. Particularly because it seemed that the professor very much wanted them to.

He stopped for a moment and admired his girlfriend. Her hair flowed beautifully down her back, and her eyes sparkled majestically. She was so pretty, even when she was "mad" at Elliot. Smiling, Jared silently walked up behind her. "Boo!" Jared grabbed her shoulders, shaking her ever so slightly.
ERMYGOD so many people...Elliot was just super popular and all...
Yeah.
She smirked as Hannah made her way in, managing to squeeze next to her...and nudged her affectionately. She also gave a nod to jared...who was cool. For now, anyways.
Presley came back, and Elliot raised an eyebrow at her...hmph. Whatever. She hoped Hannah wouldn't say anything to Presley or about her while they were so close in proximity.
And class started.

How ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!
Merlin.
Elliot disliked this professor. What was up with her? The way she talked...she saw Presley's face, and made eye contact, to show her apparent agreement...that she was super annoying. She was even thinking of dropping the class already. it was her first time in Astronomy, after all, and thus far....it wasn't enjoyable.
Muggle drinks...annoying voice....
and now a STUDMUFFIN?! He was old for Merlin's sake! "Since everyone has already said his name, I suppose it's safe to say it's Sir Isaac Newton." she said dryly, raising her eyebrows at the woman. "Ma'am." She added, for good measure. And since most people had said the things she would have said, she merely added, "Didn't an apple fall on his head?" Or was she crazy....which was very likely as well. "And Professor, what does he have to do with..Astronomy?" she asked, curiously...
Stars...gravity...she supposed they had a connection.

Delilah looked at the boy blankly. What is he talking about?? "Um... what?" ... Wait. Delilah KNEW that! It was a book, and OLD book. "Ohhh! I ... yes! I've read that!" She grinned. Well, her dad had read it TO her, when she was about six or seven, but she still kind of knew the story. The girl looked up at the ceiling. No scary fans to chop them all to pieces. "... What if the fizzy drinks do do that, and it's so we can go and study the stars a bit closer...?"
Yes, it was a silly idea... but Delilah liked it.
When he introduced himself, Delilah smiled shyly "I know who you are..." Oh. But he didn't know who she was, did he! "I'm Delilah... O'Flanagan." Not that her surname really mattered... but still...
She remembered! Kennedy grinned at her... Oh, she's read the book? He's only seen the film. Hmmm, he'll have to ask her if she still has it after the lesson was over. He followed her gaze up at the ceiling. What if the classroom was turned into a planetarium? That'd be cool. "I really hope it does," he said, sipping more of his drink. "I like to fly...float...whatever that drink did to Charlie and his grandfather."
Oh?
Yeah, she should know who he was, but Kennedy was still used to introducing himself. Plus, it was proper manners to do so. "Nice to meet you, Delilah O'Flanagan," he grinned...
...then the professor spoke...

How ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!
Five?!
Already?! Kennedy frowned and sent the girl a "that's-not-cool" scowl. If she wanted to throw stuff at Dylan she could do it in the common room or out on the hall.
He turned his attention back on Professor Burage. She was...fun. Silly. Like the grandmother he never had, but wished he had. Kennedy resisted from smiling and instead shifted his gaze at the photo. He's seen the man in books and somewhat knew what he did and stuff. Just like with Divination, Astronomy wasn't a hot subject for this Head Boy.
Still, he raised his hand and said, "That's Sir Isaac Newton," and that was about it since others were already volunteering what the man did.
Making her way now from the back of the room to the front, Professor Burbage carried the seating chart in her hands and cleared her throat. "Hello and gooooooood day, students," she said in her usual sing song voice. "My name is Professor Burbage and I will be instructing you in the noble field of Astronomy this term. I doooooo hope you have all filled out your name here or else I shall be forced to make one up for you." To which she laughed softly before taking a glance at it. MERLIN why did some students write so small. That wasn't very kind on an elderly woman like herself.
Which was when she heard a voice.
Oh ho ho ho ho.
She looked at the seating chart - which she was holding upside down by the way - and found the boy's name. "I doooo like the way you think, Mr. Wilde."

Ira nearly spit her soda on her desk on hearing West! Rockets! That was like, an awesomely funny idea! But then back to Astronomy. She listened as Professor Burage suggested an out of box discussion. Huh? What could it be? What else but talk of all the stars an planets and comets!
Anyways, then came the photograph, which sent Professor Burage into fangirl mode, which was so amusing! Studmuffin? Lovely hair? noo.. looooooovely hair! Hehehe!!
Stifling back some giggles, she raised her hand up and answered her part, though much of it had already been said, "Professor that stu..." She had actually meant to say studmuffin, but choked it down, "I mean, that is Isaac Newton I think, the one who discovered gravity and developed its theories. He is also said to be a great alchemist." Yeah, a great alchemist with looooooovely hair!
Annie couldn't help but notice that she took the points from Slytherin though she didn't see why, still she straightened herself up a bit not wanting to cost her own house points... beyond that at very least she wanted to make a good first impression. Even if she was feeling a bit distracted as she took another sip of the fizzy drink she had in a cup finally finishing it off though she was rather… concerned about the way her teacher was talking about this person.
Analysing the photo she raised her eyebrow trying to understand what she found so handsome about this… person… thinking for a moment she thought it might be Albert Einstein from the mention of white hair, but she knew she would’ve probably recognized him if it was… the only other person that she could think of that might be in an era that had photos like that.
“Um… is it Isaac Newton ma’am?” was it Sir? She didn’t know… maybe she’d be corrected… Professor Burbage had to tell them who it was sooner or later…
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Jory looked at the picture of the old man. He looked rather familiar to him. He probably knew him from one of his texts he had from school for the boy was almost certain the man was Muggle.
He raised his hand. "It's Sir Isaac Newton,'' he said. "He's one of the most famous scientists.''

"Heeelloooooo, dear," she sang as her eyes TWINKLED.
"Hello there, darling," she smiled at the young Hufflepuff. Oh, another studmuffin in the making right there.
"Boooooooonjour darling," Marion sang as she greeted this one. Using hellos and good days was becoming rather monotonous.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm!
Another Hufflepuff boy it seemed needed to learn from her little Casanova. Hmmmmmmm.
And this one received an eyebrow raise in return. "Dear, you will remove those thiiiiiiiiiings from your mouth, please, and put them away." No fangs in the classroom or it would be out she would go.
Out out shoo shoo.
"Hello dear," the elderly woman giggled at the young boy. So much enthusiasm!
Marion cleared her throat for this boy as well. Again. Slytherins. Manners. Hmmmmmmm.
No tie? Hmmmmmmm...
Marion did require PROPER uniform, but she decided to let this one slide for now. The girl had greeted her after all. "Hello dear. Please dooooooo remember your tie for the next lesson."
Hmmm....while she hated to do this...
"5 point for not following instructions properly, dear," she sighed. No soda? No cup. NO GREETING! Had the boy greeted her proplerly and politely she would have overlooked his error.
OOC: my rules state that you must NOT edit your posts. Please read all instructions carefully ;)
"Good afternoon dear," she smiled.
"Hello there dear," she nodded.
"Hello darling." Hmm, this one seemed a little depressed as well. Hmmm...
Hmmmmmmmmmm.... no greeting.... hmmmmmmmmmm....
"Hello dear," she chirped while making her way towards the back of the classroom. It was getting about time.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Gert," she said with a small wink.
Hmmmmmmmm... seemed Hufflepuff also needed a female version of Ms. Casanova to teach manners...
Hmmmmmmmm...
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Professor Burbage EYED the boy as she continued to walk.
"At my service! Oh hohohoooo," she laughed, patting the boy on the shoulder. "I shall ceeeeeeeeeertainly keep that in mind." She might need volunteers later after all.
Oh ho.
"Hello dear," she replied, inclining her head.
Oh, what a lovely smile this one had! "Good day, darling."
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Marion raised an eyebrow at this young woman as well. Just because SOMEONE was SOMEWHAT famous did not mean that manners could be forgotten...like greeting the professor.
"Nothing of interest really darling," she replied with a wave of the hand as she passed the girl. "I am sure your holiday was muuuuuuuuuch more exciting."
STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE
Well, the girl HAD apologized...
Running....not reading instructions...NO GREETING OF THE PROFESSOR. Marion had had it up to here with ruuuuuuuuude Slytherins by name and her eye twitch was an indication of this. "10 points from Slytherin for failure to follow instructions, darling." Among OTHER things.
MORE EYE TWITCHING!
At least this boy had followed instructions.
Oh goodness gracious HEAVENS....
Another student who remained silent... at least she had followed instructions.
"Hello dear, take this on your way," she said as she handed the girl a soda. She was simply toooo exhausted at the moment to consider more point loss at the moment.
Making her way now from the back of the room to the front, Professor Burbage carried the seating chart in her hands and cleared her throat. "Hello and gooooooood day, students," she said in her usual sing song voice. "My name is Professor Burbage and I will be instructing you in the noble field of Astronomy this term.

STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE
"That will be minus 5 to you dear. Such behavior will siiiiiiiiiimply not be tolerated in my classroom."
How ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!
Before she and Indy could even carry out their conversation, the new Professor had taken the floor and introduced herself. Professor Burbage? Oh, okay. But what was her fiiiiiiiiiiiirst name? And why was she singiiiiiiiiiing? Meh. Meh.
They would be thinking OUTSIDE the box was it? So that was why they had two liter bottles of soda each? She was still trying to figure out what the Astronomy Professor was planning but it was just a bit difficult to relate the subject to a beverage. So she decided to wait and see.
A picture of an old guy with long hair.
And his name? Her classmates' hands had immediately went up to the air, giving out different answers. The brunette sat listening for a while before raising her own hand. "That Professor, is Sir Isaac Newton, a famous muggle astronomer." Though his titles weren't limited to just that. "Some of his noted contributions would be the Law of Gravity," her classmates have already given that answer, "..in relation to the said law, he was able to formulate an explanation to the structure of the solar system." Was was it called again? The helio---something. "He also invented the first reflecting telescope." Yup, that studmuffin sre discovered a lot.
The Ravenclaw then sat back down.
Oh, and hello new Slytherin girl. Thank you for hitting that guy, and for losing more points from your house. Sincerely, Beezus.

.... West had thoughts about apples, and Newton, and exchanged a look with his sister.
Gah. West Odessa was really something. And this made the Ravenclaw fourth year very amused. He was one hell of a Chaser, alright. But he was REALLY good at academics too. All she could do was stare as he answered like he was reciting an article from the book.
...and she caught the look he exchanged with his sister. What.Did.That.Mean?
Beezus wasn't close with Aspen eventhough they were on the same house, but one thing was for sure, the Odessas had something intriguing about them.
Sophie just sat there next to Theodore, not even touching her soda or anything. She didn't really feel like being there. If only that was a Charms class... but well, Astronomy used to be a bit interesting back in her first year, and this professor sounded very nice, so it wasn't a total loss.
She eyed the man in the picture and half smiled when she noticed the professor getting all giddy over him. That was funny. It was like she had a crush on him or something...
Sigh. The badger still didn't feel like answering the question the old woman had just asked. Everyone was saying it was Isaac Newton. Sophie had studied about Isaac Newton before, for a Hogwarts asignment even. She just couldn't remember which one though... but yeah, she new he was the man of those three Laws the Muggles always talked about.
While her classmates responded and some of them kept on being weird, as usual, Sophie played with the drops of water that ran down the soda bottle, only half listening to what was being said.
