Professor Trina Adelia
Member Avatar


"Ok, students," she said, eager to leave, "today, we will be going to Egypt to the pyramids. They are drenched in Astronomy, so, let's go and see it all first-hand." She said brightly. Once every student had taken hold of the ankh, there was a loud 'whoosh!' as the world began to spin and, within moments, the class had landed just outside a tent.

"Alright, students," Professor Adelia grinned, clapping her hands together, "stick with me, and you'll be just fine." She began walking towards the back of one pyramid. It was quite a long walk, and yet, though the sun began to sizzle away at Trina's arms, she found it all very pleasant. Trina casually tapped her wand on the side of the pyramid, muttering something under her breath: A small door of about four foot appeared and Professor Adelia ducked inside, beckoning the students to follow. Once they were all inside, the door disappeared.

They passed through a small corridor, in which most students had to crouch, and finally reached a room, spanning out wide enough to fit in all the students. It was filled with shining jewels, ancient astronomy charts and- "Yes," Professor Adelia said, seeing one students face contort suddenly, "That is a human skeleton." She seemed incredibly casual about it. "A muggle- most likely, a jewel thief. Many did discover this place in Egyptian times and used it to, to hide treasure and themselves, while the authorities were out searching for them.. What the muggle thieves didn't realize, was that there is a charm on the door which will allow it only to be opened from the outside." Adelia smiled as some of the students began to look worried. "Fear not, I can apparate outside and open the door; a key piece of training that the jewel thieves had not."

Trina realized she was going on a bit and decided to move onto teaching the class what they were actually there for. She flicked her wand upwards at the strangely shaped ceiling: Blue lights began to float across it and, within moments, the stone ceiling had turned to a shimmering pool of dreams. "This 'thing' above us is a posterus somnium- A discovery which has baffled many. So, you're probably wondering what this has to do with Astronomy? Well, this 'pool of dreams' actually shows future dreams." She lectured happily, "Hundreds of wizarding Astronomers flocked here upon its discovery to learn of the stars, but only a few managed to gain entrance as the door's location was initially unknown." She gestured to the charts around the room. "The Ministry now restricts certain witches and wizards from using this place as most who gain entrance and stare up at the dreams of the future, are sent insane. They often forget how to apparate outside and remain trapped in this place." Trina looked up at the ceiling and smiled. She didn't feel it necessary to mention to the students that it took hours of staring before one's sanity vanished.

"Right, stay calm, I'll just be a moment.." She disapparated and, once outside, opened the door, letting the students out. She led them back to the tent, cheerfully. She took the portkey inside the tent and gestured for the students to hold on tight. They port-keyed back to the Astronomy classroom. Trina, feeling a little sleeping herself- as was often one of the effects of looking at a posterus somnium, nodded to the students, allowing them to leave. "No homework, today." she called out, before walking to the Great Hall for a bite to eat.

Rome's twin • Introverted

[justify]Cairo was excited to attend another astronomy lesson and was pleased to lean that day he would be going on a field trip to see the pyramids of egypt. Cairo himself was named after the city of Cairo in egypt so he could not wait to finally visit the country and possibly the city that was home to his namesake. The class quickly portkeyed to the outside of a tent and Cairo took a moment to gather himself before looking to his surroundings. He followed the professor into a pyramid and marveled as the woman cast a spell to let them inside. Cairo's height meant he needed to crouch as he walked down the small corridor but because of his interest in traveling and the class being one of his favorites he was not about to complain. He stretched out fully when the class reached a larger room and sighed when the professor mentioned one of the human skeletons that were there. He looked up when the professor summoned a pool of dreams in the ceiling and listened to the woman's explanation of it, nodding along and finding all the information exceptionally interesting. He looked at the ceiling in awe as the professor left, and then walked out the door when she opened it for the class. Soon after that the class portkeyed back to the school and the lesson was dismissed. Cairo left the lesson feeling happy and he could not wait to see what he would learn in his next astronomy class.

struggling artiste | class of 2046, former head boy

[justify]Tholomyes was so excited for the end of the semester, even though it was still a few week away, and the only thing he was truly excited for was the yuleball, he was yet to ask Emma, but he felt that it had to be a given, why wouldn’t she want to go with him, even if they just went as friends. Theo liked her so much, spending all this new time with her, he almost felt like he was falling in love with her. It was surreal, she filled his heart with joy, his art with muse. The boy had never been through a period where he enjoyed his artwork as long as this. The teen was getting ready for the day ahead of him, a small smile on his face the entire time. He knew that at a certain point everything was going to come crashing down, but for now, he was just riding a high. The prefect put on his uniform and then began getting his stuff together. He sighed heavily as he realised that he had spilled paint on some of his homework. The teen put everything into his bag and then left the room.

Tholomyes walked into the astronomy classroom, really eager with what they would be doing in this class. he was happy that they'd be spending next to no time in the room and eagerly took a hold of the portkey. Allowing themselves to be transported to an entirely new place, Egypt. He'd never been, but he was happy that Hogwarts had given him the opportunity to do so. he looked to the professor as she showed them inside and showed them a room decorated in jewels and charts. It was amazing. He looked at the skeleton but ignored it, decidedly looking else where, at the marvel and jewels of this room. He was surprised about the charm, was that not a little unfair? Sure, the egyptians spent time protecting their tombs so that they could bring their wealth with them to the after life, but surely after a certain point in time it was redundant. He looked at the professor as she showed them the pool of dreams, something that was truly awe inspiring. He wasn't surprised some went insane because of it. However, the boy was glad when the professor got them out. As interesting as place like that could be, it was still dangerous and he was glad to have his feet firmly back on hogwarts ground.
