Today's lesson was certainly going to be an interesting lesson. Michelle had invented a machine that creates very small black holes, nothing that could consume anything large, any smaller than a paper clip probably. This was the subject of today's lesson, black holes. Black Holes always fascinates Michelle, She used to think that they were time portals and they could be, but they were so, so, so much more. Once again she glanced at the classroom and checked everything. She sat down at her desk and waited for them to arrived. When the class arrived, she waved her wand, letting them in. She waited and then tapped her hands on the desk and waited for them to shut up. They did.

"So today gang we are going to look at black holes okay?" She smiled. "Now black holes aren't as scary as they sound, and as you can see the machine in front of me is going to produce a very small one, oh and I call this the Michelle's Awesome Black hole Accumulator 9234" She added. "Don't ask what the 9234 stands for, so without further ado I shall begin, a black hole is a dead star, dead as a door bell and it's gravity field has become so strong, that it has sucked in itself.. and it sucks in everything around, devouring and destroying it. Even light cannot escape, matter spiraling into a black hole is torn apart and glows so brightly that it creates quasars, like you looked at last year. The swirling gases around a black hole turn it into an electrical generator, making it spout jets of electricity billions of kilometers into space" She lectured.

"Now make sure you have some notes down for that, cause now were going to see this baby in action." She grinned. Gazing at her invention. "Now let me just power this up, here we are, right I am going to put these mere paper clip inside this black hole." She said pointing at a jet-black blob behind her. "Ready?" She asked, a few nods from students was enough to make her do it, she chucked it in and it disappeared, she quickly flicked her wand the black hole sealed into nothingness. "Right, that paper-clip is in a void now, it's nowhere in a sense, but it's a void." She laughed. "We are going to bring that paper clip back next lesson, you are dismissed." She smiled.


Homework:
RP the lesson and write a paragraph on how you think the paperclip is going to come back

[justify]Flavio quietly walked into his astronomy lesson and smiled at the professor before choosing a seat at the front of the class. He was delighted to find out he would be learning about black holes that day. The idea of black holes had confused him slightly in the reading he had done before class and was glad that some of his confusion might be explained that day. He got out his notebook and began to write down everything the professor said, putting particular attention to detail the aspect of gravity in the formation of a black hole as that was what had confused him the most. Eventually after writing he looked up to watch the professor's demonstration, nodding when she queried the class whether she should allow the black hole to swallow the paper clip. Flavio half believed that the black hole in the class was an illusion created by magic as black holes were terrifying and uncontrollable from what he knew, but that half belief was gone as he watched the paper clip disappear. He noted the paper clip was apparently in a void, and was tempted to ask the professor to explain further but the class was then dismissed. Flavio packed up his belongings and left the room, thinking that he could ask his questions at the end of his next astronomy lesson if they weren't answered by then.

Amber couldn't believe how dramatic and strange her fourth year already was, it seemed like while third year had been her year for drama with her best friend, this year she was in trouble with another girl in her dormitory. Today she didn't really want to focus on the drama, and when she saw Flavio near the front of the class she sat next to him. It was one of the few lessons she didn't share with November, so at least there would be no odd looks today.

Today they were going to learn about black holes, something that both interested and terrified Amber. She was surprised to hear that a machine could produce one, especially within a magical school where she thought machines didn't work. She took a few notes, writing down that a black hole was a dead star and that it sucks everything in, even light. The idea that they were going to see a real one, even if it was small, was worrying. The thing with the paperclip was even more confusing, and she had no idea what to make of it. It was nowhere but in a void? What did that mean? She had absolutely no idea how they were going to bring the paperclip back, but she was curious to find out.
