[justify]Sarah was really hoping her fourth years were enjoying the curriculum, and that it was interesting enough. She thought today's topic was going to be pretty interesting. Setting up was rather easy for her this week. Gathering up her notes and other things she headed to the classroom to get there before the students would arrive. The chairs and desks were all pushed around from a previous group and she quickly straightened them before opening the door for the students that were arriving early. When Sarah heard voices at the door she smiled and greeted each students as they entered, hoping to get all their names correct.

"Good Evening Everyone, I trust you all are well," Professor Harrington said to the class. "Today we're going to look at wormholes," Professor Harrington continued.
Today was going to be a rather interesting lesson as most of it was theory as no one had ever been close enough to a black hole to test the theory of wormholes before. "Now a wormhole is alleged to be the connector between a black hole and a white hole, and this is supposed to create time travel, now the only way this is possible in the magical world is by using a pensive and accessing memories, but even these are not actual solid places you can be, time travel is possible, but by going through a wormhole that cuts through time and space, when you enter a wormhole you go through a process called spaghettification, which is where your bodies are elongated to extremely lengths, probably meaning you would die before getting to the other side."

Professor Harrington walked in the front of the classroom as she talked her hands moving to demonstrate the process. "There may be hidden shortcuts for space journeys that would be otherwise impossible for a human to ever complete in a lifetime. If you were to enter a wormhole you could travel to the destination it leads to much faster than the speed of light, which is excruciatingly fast." Sarah glanced at the clock and frowned for a moment. "Ahh! It appears we have run out of time, so if you could pack up your things and finish your notes, you may then leave." She smiled. "Remember to do the homework." She added with a smile dismissing the class. She watched the group go and then headed down to her office to get a cup of tea before going to bed herself. She hoped her daughters were both doing well and already asleep as they should be by that time.

Homework:
Roleplay the lesson, take some notes. Extra credit: Write a short 200 word essay on wormholes, be sure to link any sources you use.

Questioning Everything | Honeydukes Assistant | fifth year

[justify]Even though he was dating Ellie, he was still finding the courage to ask her to the ball. This was his first real relationship and to it mildly he was very nervous about what that actually meant. He felt like he needed to actually ask her to the ball, he couldn’t assume they’d be going together, but he wanted to just assume it, that would be far easier. There was just something about her that made butterflies fly excitedly in his stomach. He just wanted to do everything right, so he knew he needed to find her, he needed to see her and ask her, which he was planning on doing at some point before the weekend. The teen did however still have a lot of work, he was thankful that the yuleball was after the exams, so he at least wouldn’t have to worry about creating the time to spend with her and despite all that he had one, Jerara was keeping on top of it. It was a lot of work and he’d had some set backs, but nothing that really stopped him from achieving what he had planned everyday. With that being said, he grabbed the last of what he needed for the day and left for class.

There were a lot of things that Jerara was learning that he couldn't do or wouldn't learn in the magical school, a lot of it, seemed to center around astronomy and defence against the dark arts. However, he pushed those thoughts aside and looked up at the professor, wondering what piece of magic they would see but never learn how to do. He pulled his notes towards him and began writing down what the professor was saying, knowing that there was little proof that wormholes equalled time travel, but he had learned that time travel was a real thing. He listened to what the professor was saying as she continued to talk about the wormholes. they wouldn't get to see this, but he was almost pleased with that. There was only so much weird magic he would never do that he could take. With that the class was wrapped up, and Jerara was glad it had been so short. He packed away his things and left the room. He was keen to just go study something else elsewhere. There was only so much astronomy that he could take. It didn't matter how many little interesting it had to it, he didn't care for the subject as a whole.
