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." |
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. |

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. |
Text Cut: before ze prof started with Vee & Elijah 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 Text Cut: Ze prof 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. |
Text Cut: Proff 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? |
...and Vivi, too. ^_^ Quote:
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." |
SPOILER!!: Random girl I don't know... 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... SPOILER!!: Professor, yo! 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? :gary: |
SPOILER!!: Burbage Studmuffin. Vickers blinked at the kindly 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." |

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. |
SPOILER!!: The Cutest Lady We Have Ever Seen 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 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." |
so much catching up to do SPOILER!!: professors. they talk a lot. 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. Quote:

.... West had thoughts about apples, and Newton, and exchanged a look with his sister. |
SPOILER!!: allyoulovlies 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. Quote:
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. |
Text Cut: Delilah before class started. ^_^ Text Cut: Professor Burage 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. 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. |
Text Cut: The fangirling Professor!! xD 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… |
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.'' |
SPOILER!!: singing Professah! 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 a 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. SPOILER!!: Mr. Know it All ...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 |
