Default Astronomy Lesson 1 :: Halloween Astronomy


The Astronomy classroom is exceptionally ordinary this crisp autumn day, which may set you on edge as nothing is ever as it seems when it comes to Professor Flamsteed. And you are probably correct. The desks are arranged in their usual semi circle to help created a more personal and inviting environment and upon each desk is a familiar looking orange item. The early afternoon sunlight shines through the windows to give the room and the pleasant breeze through the open windows may, on occasion, blow an autumn leaf into the classroom.

In the front of the classroom is the professor's desk sitting before a massive chalk board that reads, "Please do not eat, cut, or otherwise manhandle the pumpkins." Professor Flamsteed is currently leaning against his desk reading over something important looking in a manila folder with furrowed brows and pursed lips.

Did you remember to use the lint roller on the small table outside of the classroom? It was there next to the sign that reads, "Not to be used as a brush for your hair" and has the signature of a former student in the bottom right corner.

So come on in and have a seat. Class will begin shortly.

Lesson Progression
question 1 :: what connections are there between Halloween and astronomy?
question 2 :: what can we expect to see in the night sky on Halloween?
mini activity :: preparing your pumpkin using Punktumus
activity :: constellation carving time!
OOC:
Please be sure you are familiar with Professor Flamsteed's rules BEFORE you post in this lesson. We will know if you haven't read them! All SnitchSeeker site rules apply.

Class will officially begin in approximately 14 hours from the time of this post.
RL happened and I unfortunately was not able to finish this post to meet my 14 hour deadline. I'll post as soon as I can after getting a good night's rest. Thank you for your patience <3 please keep chit chatter to a minimum.


This lesson has officially started! Please do not announce your character arriving late and just pretend like they have been in class all along. You are free to jump in any time and should use the lesson progression links to keep up.

ALSO, and this is my fault for not saying this sooner, please keep in mind that this is NOT your character's first IC lesson - it is October when this takes place, so a month of lessons already under students' belts

She’d stayed quiet during the star discussion, not because she didn’t know any of the constellations and stuff, but Brooklyn just hadn’t felt like she needed to expend the energy when the others around her were doing quite well on their own. Besides, most of the ones she knew had been said anyway, so she wasn’t about to repeat people. Instead, she’d just idly poked at the pumpkin on her desk, waiting to find out what they’d be doing with it. She’d been taking notes too, just not obviously. They were there, or they would be eventually. She’d looked up as the discussion had turned to the pumpkins, however, wrinkling her nose as the activity had been explained. She was not going to be sticking her hands inside the pumpkin, thank you very much. She’d much rather someone else do that part for her, or just be able to vanish all the icky guts.

She could do the cutting part, though. As long as it didn’t leave her wand all sticky in the end, that wasn’t bad. Poking her wand at a spot near the stem, not too near, she stood up to get better leverage. Being short was annoying sometimes. “Punktumus,” she said clearly, watching as her wand slid down a bit, into the pumpkin. That was actually kind of cool, and she wondered if the spell worked on anything else or if it only worked for carving pumpkins. Probably not, just ‘cause of the spell and everything. Either way, she traced a circle around the stem, making the little lid that her daddy usually did for her every Halloween until she’d come here, and pulled the pumpkin open. Now to wait to see if she could get out of the second part, and she looked around the room. Where were the useful people when she needed them?

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

Oh... so no Mars, huh? "I like Mars,'' the Hufflepuff muttered as he picked up his quill, all poised to make some notes but then paused halfway to his book. Star dust? AJ never failed to surprise him with the creative thoughts placed into her replies. As Airey took off into a bit of a frenzy about star dust, the Hufflepuff turned his head to sneak a look at AJ. His mood dipped again though it not had been as bad as when he first came into the classroom. "I'm sorry, AJ,'' he thought not for the last time as he focused back to his book and started making notes.

Then they were moving on to the activity. Wand out? Check. Adi watched as Professor Flamsteed proceeded to explain and demonstrate on the pumpkins. Right, that seemed easy enough... and he wondered if there might be House elves in the room soon to help with the cleaning.

Okay so five cm from the stem. Adi did an quick measurement before placing his wand on a particular spot and pressing down on it lightly. "Punktumus!" Oh look. Nothing. "Punktumus! Punktumus! Punktumus!''

O___O

Just why was he not getting this? "Punktumus!" Meh.

His spell work was suffering and he had a suspicion as to why. She was sitting not too far from him, refusing to speak to him.

And he had stopped talking - although his ears were not a lovely shade of red thanks to the thought of children. His ears probably matched Mr. Adair’s face right now, actually.

“ExCELLent,” he praised the Slytherin, his voice cracking mid sentence from nerves. “Yes, Ursa Major. Another circumpolar constellation. Very good.”
Excellent?! Really he had said her answer was excellent? She hadn't expected that on top of a 'very good'. Hady grinned happily shifting in her seat to sit up straighter now trying to pay as close attention as possible. There was noway she was going to miss any of the instructions about what they would be doing today.

As the Professor began to explain what their activity was going to be for the day she listened closely. Picking up her quill she wrote down all the notes on her parchment in a neat script pushing it aside once she'd had everything down.

That done she chanced a glance over at her bestie (Zeke!). He seemed kind of down. Frowning Hady leaned over towards him whispering softly. "Hey, are you okay?" A clearly concerned expression on her face. If there was something wrong with Her Lion she'd see to it that it was fixed. Now.

Quote:
“If you have any questions on any of this, I would love to hear them. If there are none, well, time to put conversation aside and get our hands a little dirty. Everyone, wands out,” he instructed as he raised the lights further and the floating 3D model of the night sky vanished, seemingly teleporting them all out of space and back into the classroom. “Now, muggles use these handy dandy pumpkin carving kits when working with pumpkins. I have found that these tend to break rather easily so we shall be using our wands. Reason for pumpkin carving will become clear in a moment, so while you all ponder over that notion, I would like you to prepare your pumpkins. To do so you will perform a simple spell that will make your wand act like a small knife. The incantation is Punktumus and you need only say it as you try to cut through the surface of the pumpkin,” he continued as he picked up the pumpkin from his own desk and held it in his hand. “You’ll want to cut a somewhat circular shape approximately 5 cm in radius from the stem. Just place your wand on one spot, apply just a little pressure and….Punktumus,” he said, pushing down as his wand went right down into the pumpkin as though it were a knife. “Never fear, your wand is an extension of yourself and therefore will not cut you,” he continued as his wand moved up and down until he had cut a lid. “Once you’ve removed the top, then you need to scoop out the pumpkin’s guts using your hands and place them on your desk. Not to worry, someone will be along shortly to clean all that up for us.”

All clear?

“It may take a try or two to get the incantation and cutting motion right, but a little patience and you’ll be fine. You may begin when you are ready." And if there were any question they were welcome to ask.
Pumpkin carving! Awesome! This was something she knew how to do...only not using her wand. It looked easy enough as she watched the Professor showing them how it was to be done. Pulling out her wand she began only by reciting the spell quietly to herself getting a feel for the word. "Punktumus, Punktumus..."

Soooo... just to be clear, star dust was not a correct answer? Yeah, she saw him fangirl over the mentioning of it, but didn't say yes or no. Or maybe he did and she missed it because of said fangirling. Either way AJ knew that if anybody needed to get Airey a Christmas gift, star dust related stuff would be spot on. They were welcome. Also, it was pretty sweet to know that it was an actual thing and she hadn't got the term mixed up with another one. She blinked a few times at him, and would maybe had enjoyed in his enthusiasm, but Adi. Sigh.

They would be carving pumpkins now and she was excited to be working with her hands because that proved to be even more of a distraction. Having to be able to do decent spell work was going to be a daunting task, but she was up for a challenge. Her eyes darted over to Adi, and quickly back at her pumpkin. Don't do this to yourself, AJ. Wait until after this lesson.

AJ watched the demonstration led by Airey, and wondered why the circle had to be a certain measurement. She would just be happy if she managed to get the spell right. Punktumus was kind of a funny word, and it had all the right qualities for her to get tongue tied over it. "Punktumus, punktumus. punk-tu-mus."

Time to give it a go, yes? AJ picked up her wand and pushed it against the pumpkin. There was no reason to measure it. Well, there probably was, but she wasn't going to be bothered with it. "Punktumus." Blink. Blink. The pumpkin was still whole. "Punktumus." More of the same. She sighed heavily. There was a certain hufflepuff that was on her mind, and she couldn't concentrate on this spell. This was going to be a long lesson.

Adi allowed his eyes to travel towards AJ again as he turned his head in her direction yet again. He was just in time to see her struggle with the spell as well though maybe she wasn't having problems because of him. But a part of him knew that was false.

Time to try again, yeah? The Hufflepuff positioned his wand again as he had done before, after doing the measuring. "Punktumus!" He applied the pressure... and nothing! "Focus, Adi,'' he muttered. "Punktumus!'' He was rewarded for his concentration when by wand went through the pumpkin's shell. Finally!

The Puffer proceeded to cut around the stem until it was completely removable. Now came the fun part. Or it would have been fun if things were bright and merry. He reached in and with both hands began to heap out the pumpkin's insides, dumping them on his desk as instructed.

It was possible that he was becoming even more confused as the lesson progressed, the only thing he could do was take notes from the board. To accompany these notes, he sketched a star in the corner of one page, the word STAR DUST along the side in big bold letters and bellow that the super scientific term YOUR-ANUS... cause that's how HE said it.

He was HOPELESS.

So hopeless in fact, that when Professor Airey asked for questions, his hand shot up out of habit... only... what was he going to ask exactly? Could he repeat all that again? Dumb it down? Exclude him from the class? ... "NevermindProfessor..." he mumbled before putting his hand down. He didn't want to draw much more attention to himself than was necessary. Failure was bitter.

As for this whole pumpkin carving thing... that he could do. Maybe. He was pretty good with a knife, practiced with it for potions a lot, but his wand, well, it couldn't be much worse, could it?

Zeke cleared his throat to practice the incantation, one which he was sure would have him tongue tied."Punk-tumus, punk-tumus.... punk-tumus." So far so good.. WITH his wand?... Zeke took hold of his Larch, caressing it between his fingers for a moment before directing it to the top of his pumpkin. Off with it's head!

"Punktumus," he tried, putting some pressure down on his wand.

"Punktumus, "Punktumus.." She continued to repeat quietly to herself. However once more her attention was drawn to the lion. What was going on? This wasn't like her happy buddy. Did something happen before class or just now that she had somehow missed?

Frowning she leaned over and tapped her fingers on his desk to get his attention. "Hey, are you okay?" She asked quietly knowing she should be focusing on her activity but friends came first...or well Zeke did anyways. He was always there for her and she would be there for him.

No worries she'd get her work done like she was supposed to. After.

Norah caught a hint of a smile on Professor Flamsteed's as he walked by in the starlight, and returned it with a little smile of her own. She recorded each item as he wrote it on the board, trying not to be too conscious of the fact that it looked like the was the only one on the entire PLANET--no, ALL the planets--NO, ALL THE PLANETS PLUS PLUTO-- that didn't know the names of all the constellations. And anyway, Pluto SHOULD be a planet. She was a small person and she was still a person, right? RIGHHHHT? With a final flourish of her quill, she wrote Pluto at the bottom of her paper with OUT writing 'dwarf' next to it 'cause just because it was small it didn't mean people should call if names. SIGH. Why did adults always forget these things? They were the ones that TAUGHT her about being nice and they couldn't even be nice to a planet. DOUBLE SIGH. She wasn't gonna be THAT kind of adult. She already decided.

The third year squeezed in one last line of scribbles under PLUTO, and wrote the incantation and wand movement along with the purpose of the spell. The TOTALLY mean and INCONSIDERATE purpose considering this pumpkin had been sitting on her desk for a whole number of minutes so she had already named it AND planned its family AND given it some hobbies. And likes and dislikes of course, 'cause everyone had those. Yes, Friedrich and Darla and their three children Seed, Orange, and Guts lived happily on Number 4 Jack 'O Lane where they ran a tie-dye shop. She couldn't just CUT Friedrich! Who was going to do the finances for the tie-dye shop now? Hmm? HMM? Did Professor Flamsteed think of that?

Norah pulled out her wand and stood over Friedrich, but didn't make to cast the spell. 'Being cut up for no apparent reason' was at the very TOP of Friedrich's dislike list right under the smell of Pumpkin pie. She could never do that to him. What if Darla was in the room and SAW? Nope, nope. Not cutting this pumpkin until Flamsteed came over and MADE her. The thirteen year old was no murderer, okay. And she was never going to eat pumpkin pie again. Never ever. Okay fine except on Christmas and Halloween but ALL THOSE OTHER DAYS, YEP. She meant it.

Today was a low for him. Lost in his favourite class.

Ugh.

His wand tip KINDA did what it was supposed to do, it sunk into the pumpkin flesh, but he couldn't do much in the way of cutting with it, so he tried again... or at least, he was about to. The quick tap on his desk drew his attention to his side, where seated that way he saw Hady. How had he not noticed her before?

He shrugged. It wasn't much of an answer, and she deserved better... but he didn't know how to put into words what he was going through. Not without feeling ashamed.

Hazel eyes back on his stupid pumpkin, Zeke gave the thing another go. "Punktumus," he repeated, wand pressed to the orange vegetable. It sliced into the object easily, and as he moved his wand up and down, he found that it actually cut fairly well. Albeit, his work wasn't very NEAT, but it was cut, the top came off, and inside he could see the pumpkin guts. Great.

Still, he couldn't IGNORE Hady, he could never ignore Hady. Exhaling heavily, he turned back to her and pushed her his notes with his annotations in her direction. "I... don't get it," he said as low as he possibly could to her.

Rolling up her sleeves she tried again to use the spell and this time she wanted it to work like she wanted it to! She wasn't a stupid girl who couldn't use a simple spell so she NEEDED to do it right the second time! "Punktumus!" spoke she calm but determined while she pushed her wand against the pumpkin and... It worked! Ha! She knew it! The first time it had just been a accident that her want only had made a cut from a few inches!

Grinning widely she removed the lid from the pumpkin and... Looked inside the pumpkin, seeing how dirty it was from the inside and... Bleh! She needed to touch it! Luckily she didn't needed to clean all the mess she would make after this!

Okay now she really knew something was up. Whom or what upset her friend? Whatever it was was gonna have to answer to her! Hopefully it wasn't someone cause then there might just be a very big problem!

Shifting her gaze to her pumpkin she was about to go ahead and try to spell herself, figuring she'd grab him outside class and they could talk. Just as she went to move though Zeke spoke to her. Hady had to strain her ears to hear what he'd said but she heard him and she understood instantly what the problem was. With a soft smile she laid a hand on his arm catching his gaze and hopefully his attention. "We can ask the Professor for help after class if you want I'll go with you...or uh I can even try to help you myself if you'd rather." She wasn't great in the class but she'd do what she could to help.

Giving him a warmer smile she dropped her hand from his arm to shift her attention to her own pumpkin. Taking hold of her want she pressed the tip against the top of her pumpkin a little away from the stem saying clearly as she did, "Punktumus!" Surprisingly to her the wand changed into a decent knife and slid easily into the top of the pumpkin allowing her to cut all the way around it in a circle forming a lid.

Even saying it, or alluding to it, SUCKED. He'd had enough of being the dumb one in muggle school, he didn't want to be that person here too. Frowning - not at anyone - but at himself, Zeke set the pumpkin top aside, and started by rolling up the sleeves of his robes. He had a feeling things would get messy.

Feeling a hand, her hand, on his arm, Zeke snapped his head up to look Hady in the face. She was soooooooooo nice for a Snake. Not that they WEREN'T nice, they just weren't like her. "Yeah, maybe," was all he could bring himself to whisper back. Honestly, he didn't see the point in either. If he didn't understand it now, why would he understand it later?

Even with his eyes back on his work as he started scooping out the orange fibrous and seedy insides, he kept a watch of Hady out of the corner of his eyes. Both the company and the fact that he was scooping out pumpkin guts DIIIIID make his day seem a tiny bit better. Just a tiny bit. There was a hint of a smile there if nothing more.

Even saying it, or alluding to it, SUCKED. He'd had enough of being the dumb one in muggle school, he didn't want to be that person here too. Frowning - not at anyone - but at himself, Zeke set the pumpkin top aside, and started by rolling up the sleeves of his robes. He had a feeling things would get messy.

Feeling a hand, her hand, on his arm, Zeke snapped his head up to look Hady in the face. She was soooooooooo nice for a Snake. Not that they WEREN'T nice, they just weren't like her. "Yeah, maybe," was all he could bring himself to whisper back. Honestly, he didn't see the point in either. If he didn't understand it now, why would he understand it later?

Even with his eyes back on his work as he started scooping out the orange fibrous and seedy insides, he kept a watch of Hady out of the corner of his eyes. Both the company and the fact that he was scooping out pumpkin guts DIIIIID make his day seem a tiny bit better. Just a tiny bit. There was a hint of a smile there if nothing more.
'Yeah, maybe.' It wasn't a yes and it wasn't a no. Either way it was something and that she could go with. Even if he didn't decide he wanted her help she knew that he knew she was there for him. Sometimes that's all one really needed. To be able to know if they needed someone that someone would be there. She she gave a small nod of her head to show she'd heard him.

Lifting her wand from the pumpkin after she'd finished cutting she set it aside for the moment on her desk. Clearing away her quill and parchment she set them into her page at her feet. There was no way she would have pumpkin guts on her work.

Rolling up her sleeves as she'd seen many others around her doing, Hady then moved to sit on her knees on her chair. That way she if needed to be a bit taller to reach inside the pumpkin she could be. Hey it wasn't really her fault she was short. Reaching into the pumpkin with her hand she began scooping all the guts out making a pile on her desk as instructed, a small smile still in place on her face for she could feel someone watching her.

The Idea Man Kori-Kins

Angel was confused, she was very confused about this spell, she had never heard this spell before but she would try it in a bit... but first she wanted to practicing it without her wand. "Punktumus!!" Angel hoped that she could get it right. "Punktumus!!" Angel beamed as she realised that she had got it right.

She then practiced the wand movement a few times and smiled when she got it right, now she had to put them together on the pumpkin and she then had to take out the inside of the pumpkin, this was going to be really fun to do... she was beginning to love all the crazy stuff that happened in Astronomy class.

Default Flammy question at the end xoxoxoxo
be curious, not judgmental

Lots of note-taking was still happening, and Sophie concentrated really hard on that to keep from laughing at Zander's Uranus pronunciation. Flamsteed was SO serious about it, so she KNEW she couldn't laugh, but she SO wanted to. Mostly because it was Zander who had said it so innocently. If it had been someone who said it intentionally to make everyone laugh, it would've been dumb, but it was Zander. Sweet, innocent baby Zander. And that's what made it funny. Eheheheheh.

But she didn't laugh aloud, nope. Just note-taking here, thanks.

As Flamsteed explained the activity, Sophie squinted and peered at her wand in her hands. They wouldn't just be carving with magic - their wands themselves were going to act as knives? That didn't... no. She didn't like that, and she watched with horrified, big eyes as the professor demonstrated and his wand ITSELF carved RIGHT INTO THE PUMPKIN. WAS IT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT? NO. MAGIC WASN'T SUPPOSED TO WORK LIKE THAT. Wands had feelings, and she was certain hers wasn't going to like carving a pumpkin so disrespectfully. Did she HAVE to do it this way? Couldn't... but... wasn't there another way?

But... but she saw other students doing it, and Flamsteed wouldn't have had them do anything that would make their wands question their allegiance to their owners, right? By being used so disrespectfully? Wands were TOOLS, sure, but Sophie still didn't like it. Maybe the wands didn't mind and were happy to just do their jobs, but she felt bad about it. Her precious, prized wand, the match of Hermione Granger's wand. It meant a LOT to her, okay?

After great inner turmoil, Sophie sighed. She had loads of wand care products in her bag with her at all times, so... it wasn't like she couldn't make it all better once the deed was done. Still a bit gruff, Sophie practiced the spell over and over again in her head, Punktumus, Punktumus, Punktumus, Punktumus, Punktumus... Easy enough, and she jotted the spell down with the description of what it would do, before she said it aloud once. "Punktumus." It came out bitterly, but the pronunciation wasn't hard at all, so before she could talk herself out of it, she cast, "Punktumus," cringing ever so slightly as the tip of her beautiful wand acted like a knife and cut down into the pumpkin, and she made quick work of slicing a circular shape and removing the top of the pumpkin.

Then she immediately set to work to cleaning off her wand. It really was IMPORTANT to her, all right? Her poor baby. In the midst of her mild panic, she had enough sense to distract herself and raised a hand, responding to one of the last bits of what Flamsteed had to say, "Professor? If you'd like, I'll clean up the pumpkin guts once everyone's done." She wasn't afraid of the guts as she proved this true, sticking her whole hand inside the pumpkin and plopping the gooey contents onto her desktop. The temptation to plop it on Tobes' head in good humor had been great though, but... y'know. She totally could be trusted with a task like that, yep. Probably.

Caleb had a pretty good idea of what the activity would involve, and he was actually pretty excited about this. He took out his wand and moved his pumpkin closer to him so he could concentrate better. He cleared his throat and placed his wand at the top near the stem of the pumpkin.

"Punktumus!" he exclaimed, and felt with a jolt as the wand became a knife and slashed through the top of the pumpkin. "Punktumus!" he exclaimed again, making another cut and moving it along. This was actually a bit harder to cut it this way than a real knife, in Caleb's opinion, but whatever...it was an arm workout, right?

He was glad he didn't have to wear gloves for this, it was nice feeling the mush between his fingers. The only problem he had, was he very clearly wasn't smart enough to be in this class anymore. Hady had been clever enough to put her note book on the floor, out of the way... he hadn't. Consequently, half his page was saturated with pumpkin guts. Whoops?

He didn't care. Brushing it off with the side of his hand, Zeke flopped the wet, orange and slightly smelly note book on the floor and continued scooping the insides clean. Still he couldn't help but spare glances at Hady... especially now she was on her knees... cause she was short. Heh. That DID make him smile.

But... WORKING!

He WAS working... and very much nearly done with cleaning out his pumpkin.

What was next?

If she could just get to the part where she could sling pumpkin guts that would be great, but before that could happen she would have to get this stupid spell to work for her. Stupid spell was stupid. Ugh, this new AJ was annoying. She was starting to get on her own nerves.

She tried really hard to concentrate on making a hole in the pumpkin, but her mind kept playing the fight over and over in her head. "Punktumus." Nothing. Her wand pushed a little harder into the pumpkin. "Punktumus." More of the same. AJ laid her wand down on the table for a minute and tried to gather herself together. This was so dumb. Never in a million years did she think somebody would have her feeling like this. No more showing her emotions.

Her wand was lazily picked up again. "Punktumus." Could she just have a muggle carving kit now? At this rate that would take her less energy and time. If she never got her pumpkin to do anything would she even be able to move on to the next activity? Right about now she really didn't even care.

Now that Adi had completed this first activity, the heap of pumpkin gunk sitting in a pile on one corner of his desk, he had nothing to do but look on as his classmates worked. But his eyes kept wandering over to AJ. Of course they did.

The Hufflepuff could see that she was struggling with the spell and he was instantly reminded of the classes where he and she would have a little competition to see who would master the spell first. He watched her give the spell a few more futile tries. Ugh! He knew she hated not seeing progress and normally, he would have helped her without second thinking about it.

But this time was different and after some inner debates with himself, Adi finally decided to see if she wanted his help. What was the worst she could do? Tackle and hex him, maybe? He deserved it anyway. "Hey, AJ. Need some help?"

Waiting to scoop his own pumpkin's insides out, the Astronomy professor took the opportunity to walk around and check on students. You know, the usual making sure no one was slicing open their desks or sticking pumpkin seeds up their nose or anything.

Maybe she could get a boy to do it? A cute one? Or a non-brother prefect? She COULD get Gabe to do it, but that would be a waste, so he'd be a last resort. She'd do the spell first and then pout and sigh appropriately until she got the help she needed.

Wand at the ready, Ruby examined her pumpkin. Oh she could SO do this first part. Totally could. No sweat.

She pressed her wand tip down at a spot around five centimetres from the pumpkin stem. "Punktumus!" Aaaaand moved her wand, cutting easily through its surface and carefully lining it up into an almost perfect circle. She had a steady hand okay? Came from years of nail art. She popped the top out and then looked around. Helloooo cuuuute boy anywhere? Anyone? Someone willing to do her dirty work for herrr? Save the nails! She had to save the nails, it was her cause.
And just like a rabid niffler he was distracted by something shiny. Ten something shinies. Ooooooooooh...

"Those are quite fascinating, Miss Banner," he admired, pointing to her finger nails while absently taking a glance at his own finger nails. For a bloke, he had rather nice ones by the way. Never bit them as a nervous habit or anything.

Oh yes, and fine spell work as well...but SHINY!

His mood dipped again though it not had been as bad as when he first came into the classroom. "I'm sorry, AJ,'' he thought not for the last time as he focused back to his book and started making notes.

Then they were moving on to the activity. Wand out? Check. Adi watched as Professor Flamsteed proceeded to explain and demonstrate on the pumpkins. Right, that seemed easy enough... and he wondered if there might be House elves in the room soon to help with the cleaning.

Okay so five cm from the stem. Adi did an quick measurement before placing his wand on a particular spot and pressing down on it lightly. "Punktumus!" Oh look. Nothing. "Punktumus! Punktumus! Punktumus!''

O___O

Just why was he not getting this? "Punktumus!" Meh.

His spell work was suffering and he had a suspicion as to why. She was sitting not too far from him, refusing to speak to him.
Scratching his head as he watched the Hufflepuff prefect, he wondered - without REALLY wanting to know, mind you - what had thrown the boy off his game so much.

"Look alive, Mr. Rehman," he chirped, drumming on his desk with the palms of his hands as though he were doing a drum roll to the most epic of revealings EVER. "You'll get the hang of it. Not to worry."
SPOILER!!: Zeke & Hady!

He was HOPELESS.

So hopeless in fact, that when Professor Airey asked for questions, his hand shot up out of habit... only... what was he going to ask exactly? Could he repeat all that again? Dumb it down? Exclude him from the class? ... "NevermindProfessor..." he mumbled before putting his hand down. He didn't want to draw much more attention to himself than was necessary. Failure was bitter.

As for this whole pumpkin carving thing... that he could do. Maybe. He was pretty good with a knife, practiced with it for potions a lot, but his wand, well, it couldn't be much worse, could it?

Zeke cleared his throat to practice the incantation, one which he was sure would have him tongue tied."Punk-tumus, punk-tumus.... punk-tumus." So far so good.. WITH his wand?... Zeke took hold of his Larch, caressing it between his fingers for a moment before directing it to the top of his pumpkin. Off with it's head!

"Punktumus," he tried, putting some pressure down on his wand.

Frowning she leaned over and tapped her fingers on his desk to get his attention. "Hey, are you okay?" She asked quietly knowing she should be focusing on her activity but friends came first...or well Zeke did anyways. He was always there for her and she would be there for him.

No worries she'd get her work done like she was supposed to. After.

Speaking of looking alive...

"Everything alright over here?" he asked as casually as possible as he approached the pair.

Nope, nope. Not cutting this pumpkin until Flamsteed came over and MADE her. The thirteen year old was no murderer, okay. And she was never going to eat pumpkin pie again. Never ever. Okay fine except on Christmas and Halloween but ALL THOSE OTHER DAYS, YEP. She meant it.
Airey sort of just stared at the young Hufflepuff. "The pumpkin won't carve itself you know," he chuckled. Well, he supposed it COULD if you charmed it appropriately, but that wasn't the purpose of the activity.

"I'll tell you what, Miss Brown," he said as he looked at his sundial watch. "We'll give it a few more minutes and if you finish your pumpkin entirely you can help."

In fact, he should probably go work on his own pumpkin...but his suit...WHAT IF HE GOT PUMPKIN GUTS ON HIS SUIT?! He really should have thought this through a bit more...and was tempted to cheat and just banish the insides without students noticing...

Were any of them looking? Yes? No? Maybe?

He stood by his desk, pumpkin one hand and wand in the other, looking like a 5-year-old with his hand caught in the cookie jar. Oh-so-very inconspicuous and smooth as chunky peanut butter, he was.

Looking down at her pumpkin she... Decided to NOT think about it and just do it! Checking if her sleeves were still not hanging down she pushed her hand in her pumpkin and she... Felt the inside of it! IT was cold and... Slimy! She felt how really a lot seeds were inside of it and... Jack! The fact that it was slimy was the worst part of it all! Her hands already were orange and sticky and she hated it!

Quick because she wanted to finish this fast she emptied EVERYTHING what was in the pumpkin and dropped it on the table! But now she had another problem, her hands were dirty and she didn't had something to clean them! Hmm, was there a spell she could use to clean her hands? Looking around her to see what others were doing she sighed, for as far she could see it she didn't saw that somebody used magic to clean themselves! So... She now only hoped that the professor would give them some information about a spell or something like that to clean her hands!

Looking down at all the dirt on her desk she suddenly remembered that she wanted to take something with her for her rat! Raising her hand she called for the teacher! "Professor? Can I take some of the dirt out of my pumpkin with me for my rat Nabber? He will like it to eat it" spoke she with a smile, thinking about her rat and how fun it would be to give it to her little friend.

"Oh I could totally paint yours for you after class if you like!" And make it masculine. Totally masculine and manly. She was good at that. Custom nail art. But she TOTALLY still had a big problem over here, so naturally she was watching Flamsteed.

Ruby caught on to what he was doing pretty fast too and brightened. "Can I just vanish the gunk too? Like I don't want to get it under my nails and ruin my nail art, you know?" Said hand went up in the air and waved around. Pleeease? No more pretty galaxy nails, just orange-y pumpkin guts. It would be tragic.

Were they going to put the cross-quarter-day sky in their pumpkins? Because THAT would be cool, Evie thought. She would keep it forever. But she would have to find an anti-rotting charm for her pumpkin so it wouldn't stink up the dorm.

She was thinking about that for too long and realized she needed to get started on the activity. Evie got her wand out and stood up so she could get at a good angle to cut her pumpkin. She held the wand above her pumpkin. "Punktumus," she said as she moved her wand down to her pumpkin. And to her somewhat surprise, the wand slid right in as a knife on the first try.

"Nice," she muttered to herself and began to cut around the stem.

She didn't mind getting dirty right now as she could always 'scourgify' everything when she was finished. As she had to reach further into the pumpkin to get what was left on the bottom she sat up on her knees, basically kneeling on her chair. Grabbing the last bit she plopped it into the pill on her desk.

Done with this part she chanced a glance beside her and grinned brightly glad to see Zeke was smiling a bit more now. She was tempted to flick a bit of pumpkin stuff at him to make him laugh but she thought against it for the moment.

SPOILER!!: We're so sorry Adi *holds you tight*
Now that Adi had completed this first activity, the heap of pumpkin gunk sitting in a pile on one corner of his desk, he had nothing to do but look on as his classmates worked. But his eyes kept wandering over to AJ. Of course they did.

The Hufflepuff could see that she was struggling with the spell and he was instantly reminded of the classes where he and she would have a little competition to see who would master the spell first. He watched her give the spell a few more futile tries. Ugh! He knew she hated not seeing progress and normally, he would have helped her without second thinking about it.

But this time was different and after some inner debates with himself, Adi finally decided to see if she wanted his help. What was the worst she could do? Tackle and hex him, maybe? He deserved it anyway. "Hey, AJ. Need some help?"


Would Airey notice if she just took her wand and walked right out of the classroom? There was enough going on that she was sure she could slip out, but there was that chance that he would notice. AJ was not somebody that usually could blend into the crowd so she decided to dump that little plan of hers.

"Punktumus," she said lazily. Surprise, surprise. Nothing happened. "Punktumus." Was she really trying anymore? Eh, not really. Again, this was so unlike her.

AJ was just about to give it another go when she heard a voice that she would recognize anywhere. Several sensations happened at once, but the most noticeable one was the rage that came from deep in her belly. Not to mention the pain in her heart was back again. As much as she hated not being on talking terms with Adi she was still mad/hurt over their little situation and reason, she wasn't seeing it.

She took a couple of deep breaths and for the first time looked him dead in his eyes. "I don't need your help," she snapped a little more harshly than she intended. Notice that she didn't say that she didn't need any help... oh no, she just denied his help. Her face turned back away from his and more feeble attempts were made.
