Fifth Years: Lesson Six

Well, this was the last lesson, Professor Nakamura thought to himself as he watched the students enter the classroom. He hoped they were ready – or nearly ready – for their exam on the subject. “Welcome back,” Professor Nakamura greeted. “This period will be for studying for your upcoming astronomy exam. You can also ask any questions you might have, though obviously I can’t tell you what will be on the exam itself.” Professor Nakamura smiled, knowing that’s exactly the kind of question he would have asked at their age. “Study hard, and kia kaha*,” Professor Nakamura said, before taking a seat and looking over lesson plans for next year. He kept looking up every now and then to make sure everyone was doing their studies, keeping an eye on them all. Once the hour was up, he dismissed the class and wished them luck.

[Mikael Nightray]

Mikael entered the classroom already guessing that this would be a study session if he were to base it on how professors had always done the last class in the last number of years. He selected a seat near the back so he could focus. Normally, he would have just left during classes like this, but for this semester, he might as well make use of this study time as OWLs were fast approaching. He didn't pay any of his classmates any mind as he read the textbook over, scribbling his notes and circling important things as he read. Once class time was done, he cast a drying charm on the ink before closing his book and going back to the dorm for some much-needed sleep.​

 

[Fraser Fergusson]

Fraser walked into the astronomy classroom and took his usual spot in the room. He glanced at the professor as the man told them they’d just be revising. THis wasn’t something he minded in particular, but did still struggle to revise. He opened his books and notes and began trying his best to revise over the hour. He didn’t super manage it, he was easily distracted by others around him, by the wall, but he tried and eventually the lesson did wrap up and he packed up his things and left the room.

 

[Bailey Walden-Cade]

It felt like a long way to go to find out they were just having a study session, but that was the case when Bailey arrived for the last Astronomy lesson of the year. She settled into her seat and listened to Professor Nakamura who didn’t talk for long, he just told them to study for their upcoming exam, Bailey reached into her bag and pulled out her textbook and notes and spent the lesson going through them. Once the lesson was over she packed everything away and made her way out of the classroom.
