Henri Fontaine

Lesson 5

Henri walked into the astronomy classroom and took her spot in the room. he glanced to the professor a the woman got started, he glanced out of the window and then back at the professor nd then took a hold of the portkey. He was taken to alaska at the other side. He listened lightly to what was being said before then beginning to start charting the stars. he worked hard and quickly at it and he then was taken back to the school when the time passed.

Aiya Owens-Lee
Slytherin Second Year
Lessons 1-3

Lesson One
Aiya’s break had gone fairly quickly, but she was keen to get back into the swing of things, especially now that she was feeling a little more confident in herself. She headed out of the common room for her first week of classes. With her backpack slung over her shoulder, she entered the Astronomy classroom for her first lesson of the semester. The professor began going over what they'd be learning. Aiya had read ahead in her textbook however and so she knew what was to be expected. At the professor's question, the girl raised her hand. "An ellipse is the way the earth goes around the sun, and it's an oval-shaped circle." she answered, smiling at receiving some points for her house. Eventually the lesson came to an end and Aiya headed straight to her next class.

Lesson Two
The second week came around quickly and Aiya still wasn’t sure how she felt about the classes she was taking. Some things were interesting, and some things really weren’t. At least she was having fun being a member of the Wild Patch Club, so she had something else to look forward to at Hogwarts. Because quite frankly, there wasn’t really much else that was interesting. With a sigh, the Slytherin followed her classmates to all of her classes for the day.

Aiya entered the Astronomy tower where the professor would be lecturing them. She took out her writing equipment so that she could try and keep up. She didn't mind the lecture, but just hoped that this semester wouldn't be full of them. It was important stuff at least about the sun, and the Slytherin was sure this would most likely come up in the exam. Eventually the lesson came to an end and the girl was able to head out.

Lesson Three
Aiya had to admit that she wasn’t as excited about her classes as she thought she would be. Most of them were boring and she was starting to feel a little trapped as she had no other choice but to attend them. She found that the best way to distract herself was writing letters back and forth to her family. The owls in the owlery were certainly very familiar with her now that she knew how to send the letters herself. She had just finished sending a letter and headed back down to attend her classes.

Aiya made her way to her Astronomy class, sighing as she entered the room and realised they'd have to endure another lecture. Surely there was a more fun way to learn everything? Reluctantly, the girl took out her writing equipment and followed the notes that were written on the board about the inner planets. The only reason she did this was because she wanted to pass her exams at the end of the semester. It felt like an eternity, but eventually the lecture came to an end and Aiya was quick to pack up her belongings and leave the classroom.

Autumn Owens-Lee
Slytherin Third Year
Lesson One

Autumn was looking forward to going back to Hogwarts but was most definitely not looking forward to classes. She didn’t like the idea of having to study as she felt it was going to be a big waste of her time. Most of what she would learn, she would learn in everyday life. What did it matter for her to learn about the wizarding world’s history, or how to brew a potion she was never going to make? She packed her backpack with a sour look on her face and almost had to drag herself to her next class.

Autumn entered the Astronomy Tower, wondering what this semester would be all about. She was glad to see the actual professor at the front of the classroom rather than the substitute. It wasn't long however before the professor instructed them all to follow her outside where she gave them some star charts. She did as told, holding the star chart above her head and up at the sky, just as the professor had demonstrated. She spent the lesson trying to find constellations. She wasn't entirely successful, but when she was finished, she handed it to the professor before leaving.

Tessaria Carter
Gryffindor Third Year
Lesson one and two

Lesson One

Tessaria was looking forward to a new semester, however she didn't really enjoy classes all that much. She just hoped she'd be able to get through them all, especially with the homework that she was sure was quickly going to pile up and with the addition of some new classes this semester. The Gryffindor entered the Astronomy Tower, however the professor soon instructed them to head outside with her where they'd be looking at the stars in the sky. They were given star charts and Tess held hers up to the sky as she tried to make out some constellations. She wasn't entirely sure if she was doing it correctly, but she presented her work at the end of the lesson before heading straight to her next class.

Lesson Two
Tess wasn’t the happiest leading into the second week of the semester. She tried out for the quidditch team yet again and failed, and just like last time, she spent so long crying in her dormitory about it. She just wanted to be like her mother and be one of the best on the pitch, and she wasn’t going to have the opportunity to get any better at flying if they didn’t let her. With dark circles under her eyes, Tess made her way to her classes.

Tess entered the Astronomy Tower and felt a little bit better knowing that they were going on a field trip. She placed her hand on the portkey and felt herself being taken away. They landed in what Tess thought was a rather mysterious place. As the professor asked where magic stems from, Tess thought she'd give it a go. Anything to distract herself from her thoughts. "The sun." she answered simply, smiling softly at the professor as she managed to get it right. Maybe she wasn't too bad at this subject after all. Tess stared as the Lapp Shaman appeared and they began their ceremony, and soon her eyes were brought to the sky where there was a spectacular show of colours. Eventually it had finished and Tess portkeyed back to the castle with the rest of the class.
