Default The Planetarium

Located off to the right of the Observatory and behind a large wooden door lies a room made possible by means of a powerful Undetectable Extension Charm. Professor Flamsteed will hold the occasional lesson, present an educational and entertaining show about astronomy and the night sky, or a training session in celestial navigation here, but it is also available to students to use at their own leisure for research or entertainment purposes.
Professor Flamsteed just has a few guidelines for use of the planetarium:
  • ABSOLUTELY no food or drink
  • be respectful of the equipment
  • NO SNOGGING

...Peeeeeeek.

Half a head poked into the planetarium and chestnut eyes scanned the entirety of the room before the head popped back out of view, then Sophie entered completely, carrying a chair with her, and beckoned Dot along after her. Keeping her voice quiet, she noted, "We've probably got... eh, five minutes, maybe ten minutes tops before we need to scram. I don't trust Flammy to not have this place under, like, surveillance, so we've gotta move."

She set the chair on the ground and untucked the box of glow-in-the-dark stars from under her arm - she'd stocked up on her return to the National Space Centre the past summer - then tore open the end and offered it to the Slytherin with a smile. "I promise, m'really good at this spell. Y'won't have to worry for a second. You're not gonna fall, you're not gonna die, I've got you," she reassured, patting the backrest of the chair for Dot to sit down.

If anything, this was going to be FUN for the girl, right? Hehe.

"I'm not scared," Dot had on the hoodie from Angelo, with the hood pulled up and tied securely around her face. All of her bright hair was covered, and most of the bottom of her face, so much so that all that was really visible were blue eyes and a freckled nose.

"I'm going to put Polaris right in the middle, and then you move me a little bit to each side and we'll do some more constellations. They have to be in the right place." Dot was pretty sure that if the constellations were all in the right spots, that Starman wouldn't be mad. Or as mad. He'd be a little mad no matter what, but they'd be long gone before it was dark enough to notice.

Dot climbed up on the chair and waved dramatically at the ceiling. "Up."

Sophie grinned and nodded at Dot's words. "Good." She hadn't thought that it was a scary situation, but moreso that Dot would be scared that Soph would do something wrong and let her fall. But this was good - it meant Dot trusted her, which was a nice relief and very reassuring. A good boost of her own confidence, even.

"S'a good idea. Maybe he'll love our application of science to this so much that he'll give us extra credit if he finds out it was us. Then we can be HIS favorite students, too." That was obviously a reference to how they were already Culloden's favorites, but why not add another professor to their arsenal of future references, hm? Never hurt to have more professionals to fall back on.

At the girl's order, Sophie's smile broadened and she flicked her wand from its holster on her wrist and gave it a swish and flick at the chair Dot was on, "Wingardium Leviosa!" With the utmost care, the Ravenclaw smoothly levitated the girl right on up toward the ceiling, halting the upward projection just enough below the ceiling that Dot could reach to place the stars on it. "Have at it. Point wherever you wanna go next, and I'll direct ya there."

"I'm also Professor Botros' favorite. And Moxley. They didn't ever say so, but I can tell by how much they let me be weird in their class without me getting in trouble," Dot reached up and stuck the first big star firmly into the center of the ceiling. Just... like... that. Perfect.

"I'm also your favorite. Not Toby's, though. I should have asked him to Hogsmeade when he was being nice to me, but I don't want to steal your boyfriend," Dot gave a playfully exaggerated hairflip that nearly sent her toppling from the chair. Oops. Less silliness and more sticking of stars. She reached out to start the tail of the Big Dipper. What was it called? The fancy name? "What's this one really called?"

Botros' favorite? But that was... "You and Tobes both, then. Botros is practically Tobes' grandpa, and Tobes is the best at Runes in the whole school. So there's something you can share with him." Sophie was smiling up at the younger Slytherin, hoping she thought that was cool and special, that she got to be favorites with her crush.

"Polaris looks good," Sophie approved cheerfully, then snorted at what the girl said next as she levitated her along, "No, Tobes adores you. You can be both of our favorites." She paused. "Y'know, at this rate, I'd say you're just about everyone's favorite. At least everyone who matters." The professors, her and Tobes... right? Weren't those all the important ones? Hehe.

But... Tobes wasn't her boyfriend. Sure, they were TOGETHER, but there was no label like that, but... well... Sophie didn't see much point in correcting Dot. Didn't want to try to give the girl false hope, then, did she? Still, Soph kept the smile plastered on her face and was VERY glad when the girl kept her balance and didn't fall - Merlin, Flamsteed really WOULD kill her - then squinted a little at the stars she was placing to respond to her question.

"Oh, the uh... well, Polaris is part of the Big Dipper you're doin' there, which is part of the constellation Ursa Major, or the sometimes called the Great Bear. The Big Dipper itself is an asterism, which is just basically a pattern of stars commonly known in the night sky. They're not, like, officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union like constellations are." Dot... hadn't really asked for the extra information, but Sophie Brown was a nerd, so there was that.

"No, I'm weird. I know I am. I'm 'sposed to be okay with it, though, because it's like charming or whatever," Dot inched over and finished her Big Dipper, or Ursa Major or whatever it was they wanted to call it, and then she let the chair swing gently forward so she could work on the Littler Dipper. Big Soup Spoon in the sky.

"No one has be on their snog list. Isn't that sad, though? I'm probably super good at it, too, and no one knows 'cause they didn't think to snog me," she patted the next star into place and then turned to smile down at Sophie so she knew that Dot wasn't being sulky. She was just saying.

"You're such a Ravenclaw. Sophie. Soph. Am I really your favorite, or is that just a thing you say? Like how some people looooove everything but don't actually really like anything? Not that you're fake, but you know what I mean."

...Wow. Kid was blunt and very... well... disheartening, wasn't she? Sophie tried not to let her feelings get the best of her as Dot talked and made sure to focus on keeping the girl levitated, unsure of what kind of response Dot even wanted from her. Did she want reassurance that it wasn't true that she was weird? Did she want agreement? Soph didn't even know what to say, so she didn't say anything, but then the girl went on about a snog list and...

Sweet Merlin. What a character, eh?

Briefly, there was a part of Sophie Brown that hoped Flamsteed did have some sort of fancy-shmancy wizarding devices set up in the room so he could hear them because everything Dot was saying was kind of... well, it was all very, very sad, but also a bit outrageous and entertaining. In a very sad kind of way.

Still levitating Dot where she wanted to go, Sophie cleared her throat and spoke carefully, "I do know what you mean. No, I have many favorites. People are my favorites for different reasons, and different kind of favorites. Like... Tobes is my favorite best friend-boyfriend, and CB's my favorite girl best friend, and Culloden's my favorite grumpy professor, and Zander's my favorite funny Gryffindor, and you're my favorite spunky, fun Slytherin." She meant that, too.

Sophie was awfully nice, but she was also not speaking to a newbie at favoriting. Qualifiers made it so you could have loads of favorites, because it created a category of only one person. Bubba was her favorite brother. Dima was her favorite friend since she was born. Kyroh was her favorite freckle friend. Maddie was her favorite girl friend. Sophie was the best fifth year Ravenclaw of all time.

But she was being so nice, so Dot just smiled sunnily at her and patted another star into place. "Spunky and fun are much better than weird. Thank you."

Another constellation finished, and Dot directed Sophie to move the chair toward the last spot. "Do you think he'll like this? StarMan? Will it make him mad?"

At this point, Sophie began to wonder if Dot's arms were growing tired at all from reaching up so much, but the Slytherin seemed to be okay, besides the whole... bouncing and almost toppling right off the chair before. The fifth year was very in tune with every move that Dot made and, as the younger girl wanted, Soph guided the levitated chair smoothly in the directly she wanted to go.

She also stole a quick glance at her wristwatch - they were close to overstaying their welcome, but she didn't hear any sort of movement outside the planetarium, so Sophie deeply hoped that Flamsteed was in his office working on another spaceship or playing with his action figures or such activities she'd interrupted in the past. It was no secret that he got very into those things, and Merlin knew he needed that kind of joy in his life these days.

"I don't think it'll make him mad mad... maybe a bit frazzled at first, but he's got a good sense of humor. Plus, I think it helps that we're being really, like, scientific about this and you're making star formations and stuff instead of just scattering them about. I bet he'll have an appreciation for the thought put behind this." WOULD he be mad? Yes. A little, she thought. But... "I've heard he was a prankster in his past life, so... he should be able to appreciate something like this. At least we're not glittering the whole seating area outside his office like Thompson and Fuller did."

Compared to what they COULD have done, this was perfectly innocent and nice.

"StarMan. I like that."

"StarMan. I like that."
"I think he'll love it." Dot was done with her last constellation, so she clambered down to sit on the chair and grin over the edge at Sophie below her. They'd done a good job, and one day soon, FlimflamStarMan would come in here at night and see a whole different sky over his head. It would make him happy. And maybe befuddle him. Both were good.

"I'm not his favorite, though. I'm not especially good at 'stronomy." She pointed to the ground to indicate that she was ready to come down. "It's a shame that people like you better when you're really good at something, because most people aren't really good at anything. Most people never get to be a favorite." And that was sad. Everyone should be someone's favorite. It seemed like a law of the universe.

When Dot sat down in the chair, Sophie thought she got the hint and started to levitate her back down, but did so slowly so Dot could protest in case she wasn't actually done - but no, the Slytherin was pointing down at her, so Sophie happily obliged in carefully lowering the chair back down to the ground, very gently letting all four chair legs come to rest beside Sophie from where it had originally taken off. A SUCCESSFUL MISSION.

Kid was depressing, though. "You're Culloden's favorite. That's the best favorite to be, right 'longside me and Tobes. Tobes was Culloden's first favorite, in fact. Culloden brought me and Tobes together." Indirectly, but she still gave the man credit where it was due.

Even if, deep down, she thought she and Tobes would have found each other one way or another. Hehe.

Dot had a good point about the favorites thing, to be fair, but... Sophie was plenty of people's favorite and didn't like being made to feel bad at the moment, so the fifth year just smiled and pressed past the subject cheerfully, "We did a good job today, partner. Let's scram before Flammy catches us. Go get some celebratory sweets or somethin', whaddya say?" She made a grab for the chair they carried in and headed for the door.

Nose stuck in a manila folder as he approached the planetarium, the astronomer's feet dragged against the stone floor of the corridor as he continued to read the folder's contents. He couldn't very well do some of the measurements he needed to complete the file, namely Doppler measurements and transits, he could get a ballpark measurement on celestial movements and predict some future movements today. He was sure he was on to something, the existence of some hot Jupiters in the constellation Centaurus...

His footsteps, that had been echoing through the corridor, became muffled as they met the carpeted floor of the planetarium. Standing in the doorway, the astronomer turned a page over and tapped his lower lip with his index finger and let out a loud HMMMMMMMMMMM.

"0200 hours on May 15th ought to be the place to start then..." he said to himself as he read on.

Dot stopped Sophie on the way to the door, since it NEEDED saying and Sophie was going to disappear around the corner once they were out the door. She put her hands on Sophie's cheeks and tilted her head down to look her in the eye. "I fly how I fly, Sophie-daisy. Stop making sad faces just 'cause I think deep about the world. I'm not sad, okay? So don't be sad on my behalf."

Now that was said, Dot let Sophie go and scooped up the chair... just in time to spot Flamsteed coming in the door. He hadn't seen them yet, and Dot's Slytherin-side kicked in. "OH GOOD, Professor Starman. I knew you'd be here. Sophie said you wouldn't, but where else would you be? This is like where you sleep, right? I wanted to know if you could answer a VERY IMPORTANT question we have. Can you answer? Are you busy? 'Course you aren't busy, this is where you sleep, right?"

Sophie was almost to the door when Dot stopped her and the fifth year raised her eyebrows in surprise at what the Slytherin had to say and how stern she was about it. Her cheeks were squishing, which made it hard to take things seriously, especially when Dot's word choices were very quirky and strange - but the kid still got her point across, and she nodded understandingly. "Okay." If Dot said she wasn't sad, Soph would believe her.

...Footsteps. Sophie heard them and made a move to drag Dot out of sight, but the younger girl didn't look like she was going to budge, so Soph quickly vanished the box of leftover glow-in-the-dark stars just as Flamsteed entered.

Eh hem.

Slipping her wand away in one fluid motion as she went to lazily let her hands rest on her hips, the Ravenclaw shifted all her weight to one foot and grinned as Dot spoke, the amusement apparent on her features as her gaze turned to meet Flamsteed's. Through her big grinning, her expression was one of, Funny kid, eh?

She didn't even need to say anything because it seemed like Dot was in total control. It was better this way, really. Who would suspect mischief from Dot?

Approaching the machine, Airey glanced over his notes again and was just about to punch in the coordinates, date and time when he instead found himself jumping with surprise. Papers and manila folder all over the ground.

"Miss Wojack, Miss Brown," he squeaked, his voice cracking on each vowel as is passed through his lips. "I, haha, I, ahem, certainly did not know that you two would be here." Ahem. Need to clear his throat for, ahem, a second or two. Doing so, and thus his voice returning to normal, he noted the chair currently in the Slytherin's possession and raised an eyebrow.

What in Orion's name...

"Come again?" he questioned, shaking his head to help his attention refocus on the two girls and not more 'what if' situations. "What that your important inquiry? If I use the planetarium as my bedchamber?"

His eyes flickered towards Miss Brown. Suspicious...this was all VERY suspicious...

"Well, not HERE. But up here." Dot giggled and elbowed Sophie because StarMan was just SO SO SO hilarious, y'know? Obviously he didn't sleep in a planet room like this. He slept in a bed. In some other room.

She didn't care.

"No, I had a question for you about astronuts. The ones who fly around in spaceships? You know about those, right? I mean, they don't technically go all the way to the stars, but they've been in space, and you're the StarMan... you know about them, right?" Eyebrows wiggled in his direction. "I heard that they get taller in space. True or false?"

...Merlin, Flammy was a jumpy one, wasn't he? Sophie tried her best to stifle giggles at his theatrics and seem unamused, but she was sure he wasn't fooled. Heheheheh. She did kneel down and start nicely shuffling his astray papers and folders for him, though. Super nice of her and all.

At the man's joke, Sophie started to humor him and laugh, but Dot's elbowing made her let out a soft "Oi!" instead. Did the girl know how pointy her elbow was? Kid was bony, man. But she covered up her alarm with a smile that she shared between the professor and Dot, and she nodded at Dot's questioning - once again trying not to laugh at her use of the term "astronuts."

"I thought it made sense, but I wasn't sure, so we came up here to better think like astronauts and figure it out ourselves, but since you're here... well, we're ready to learn. Teach us, Oh Great One," she teased, picking up the last of his papers and offering them to him with a big, goofy grin.

Side-eyeing both girls and he picked up a few more of his things and took the ones Miss Brown had collected, the professor could not shake his sense of unease. Mostly because if they had really just wanted to come find him they should have checked his office which, fact, they had not.

And he was most suspicious of the Ravenclaw at the moment, for the record. Laying on the compliment a little to think there, young lady.

Oh Great One. He had no other choice but to chuckle at that.

"Yeeeeees..." he nodded cautiously, eyes slowly focusing on Miss Wojack. "Astronauts," he corrected with a mild tone of agitation. Bit insulting to insult those that dedicate their lives to the improvement of science and humanity's understanding of the universe - and knowing some of those lives that were lost, well, the man was a bit sensitive.

But he would save the lecture for now as the Slytherin did have a very good question. "Quite true, Miss Wojack," he nodded, reshuffling a few pieces of paperwork in his hands. "Astronauts grow 3 percent taller while living in microgravity, but upon their return to Earth go back to their usual height."

Putting one last parchment back into place, he breathed a sigh of relief that everything was back in place.

"Hoping to do a bit of experimentation on the subject?" he asked nonchalantly as he walked over to the projector and began punching in some numbers.

Dot actually gave Sophie a bit of the side-eyed scathing look, since she was NOT playing it cool. Great One? That was too much. Dizzy wonder child was one thing, but fangirling a professor was just not her style. She restrained herself from digging a bony elbow into Sophie's ribs, but girlfriend needed to be coooooooool.

"Astronauts. That's what I meant. Astro-nauts. Naut not nut." She tossed her long red hair in a dizzy little motion. Silly Slytherin child. "Not experiments, though... I wondered if there were any spells that could simulate microgravity and make your body naturally taller, instead of you having to magically grow yourself. I mean, that height is already there, right? It's just gravity is being a bummer." And Dot actually really DID want to be taller. It took HEIGHT to be a Rockette, or even to continue being an effective dancer.

be curious, not judgmental

It was not unusual for Sophie Brown to suck up to a professor or be dramatic and teasing, so she just kept on smiling away and looking quite pleased with herself as Flamsteed filled them in on the truth - though she actually knew the truth, as she expected Dot did as well - and seemed interested in what he had to say, nodding along.

Cool, Flammy. Super cool. Yup.

Digging her hands into her pockets, Sophie observed with genuine interest as Dot rattled off a whole bunch of stuff. Were these things she had really wanted to ask about? Or was she just coming up with this off the top of her head? If the latter was true, kid was a quick thinker. That was a very, very valuable trait to have, and Sophie admired the Slytherin for it.

But why did Dot want to be taller anyhow? Soph loved being short. There were lots of perks. Like piggyback rides and being carried around and being cute. It was also a very valuable trait.

Fingers flying over the buttons, the professor chuckled before glancing over his shoulder. Right, of course that was what she had meant. Perhaps some of the distrust of Slytherins thanks to his sister was making him biased, but Miss Wojack was far too articulate to make a mistake. Got our eye on you, young lady.

Although his eyes were mostly on Miss Brown...who had now fallen eerily silent. The man only had two eyes, you know?

"No spell can truly simulate microgravity," he replied while shaking his head. "The study of the natural phenomena's, like gravity, relation to magic is still an evolving branch of study. The way molecules resonate in the air when magic is in place prevents true microgravity from being achieved, but there is some magic to make it feel as though you are in such an environment, although that will not help with your inquiry. Not even magic can defy gravity. Not entirely." Smart girl like herself should understand what he meant.

Attention back on his equipment, he glanced again briefly over his shoulder. "Hope you don't mind me doing a bit of research while we talk," he mused, not really asking for permission as his finger hovered over the submit putting already.

"Med----Professor Romanos believes yoga helps, however," he continued, elaborating a bit more on the Slytherin's question. "With gravity constantly pushing down on us each day, humans can lose an half an inch or more during the course of a day. So...inversion yoga positions help reverse those effects."

His blue eyes hinting at a hidden sadness for a brief moment, the professor finally submitted his coordinates and the planetarium began to darken.
