Astronomy
He laughed. "Well, I was just saying what we were all thinking, right?" he teased, and scribbled another note down.
Siobhan thinned her lips to evade a smile at this boy, and looked around the classroom. Jasper Collywobbles was bent over a piece of paper, the hand slack and his eyes focused on the professor, David Snickershee even: she turned back, her lips even tighter and offered a slight smile to Landon; saying, "Correct. The boys at any rate!"
He grinned. "You see Jasper over there? That was me at one point except, I had forgotten there was a dung bomb in my pocket, and it slipped out. The Professor was not very pleased with me, but I think I've been forgiven, as that was many years ago."
Siobhan's mouth worked and she gave up, slapping her knee and laughing aloud. "All right, Strode," She said, "I shall remember not to keep, er, dung bombs in my pocket, eh?" smiled Siobhan and she resumed with her work
He laughed. "Yes. That is a good plan." He smiled, glad he had finally been able to make Siobhan laugh. He started writing again, but he bumped one of his papers, and watched as it floated down the castle.
Siobhan frowned. "I'm sorry," she remarked, leaning over the battlements when the paper flitted down in the darkness. Slipping her hand into the lapel of her blazer, "Blast," Siobhan murmured. Looking up she met the eyes of Landon, biting her lip. "I left my wand in the dorm!" Hesitating rather awkwardly for the response she didn't dally but instead started to chart the stars...
"That's alright." Landon said. "It wasn't very important anyway. And I'm sorry about your wand, perhaps the Professor will allow you to get it?"
Siobhan flashed a small smile in the darkness. "No, thanks, it's fine. But," she paused, the smile turning into a teasing grin. "Was the unimportant scrap a sketch of Miss Professor?" she asked, pointing with her quill.
"I would never!" Landon exclaimed overdramatically, winking. He held up his own quill, and made a note on his parchment.
Siobhan grinned and turned back to her parchment. "I'm sure," she murmured to herself, pen scratching the page, shortly afterwards she raised her hands and stretched; looking over to the professor, the entrance, and the Forest in short order.
Zach walked into the classroom, a bit late due to an unexpected chat with the Headmistress. He explained this to his teacher before seeing Siobhan. He smiled and walked over, sitting on the opposite side of her.
"Hello, love."
((Hey guys :) ))
"Hello, love."
((Hey guys :) ))
Siobhan glanced over to him on the other side, the wind blowing her auburn hair past her face. Siobhan flashed a welcome smile. "Hallo, Zach," she greeted, she turned away to her parchment to guard the happy flush that sprung up at the arrival of her sweetheart. "Just a tad tardy, are you?" she teased, with an affectionate sidelong glance. Recovering herself quickly she gestured to Landon, introducing, "Landon -- meet Zacharias, or at any rate Zach, Collins; Zach -- meet Landon Strode."
Zach looked over at the other boy and nodded politely. "Hi. I'm Zach." He held out his hand, but not before giving Siobhan a smirk. "Not Zacharias, I promise."
He grinned at the two lovebirds. "Nice to meet you Zach." he held out his own hand, his eyes darting between Siobhan and Zach, before settling back on the Professor.
((Oh, goodness. I forgot.))Siobhan straightened her back and returned Zach's look, before grinning and dipping her angular head. "Granted. I'll remember that." Lowering her voice she muttered to Zach, good-natured- "He thinks we're lovebirds - just see how he looks at the prof."
Zach smiled at her and sat back, kissing her cheek quickly.
"Well, who could blame him?" He whispered back, taking out his quill and parchment from his bag with a lopsided grin.
"Well, who could blame him?" He whispered back, taking out his quill and parchment from his bag with a lopsided grin.
((Naw. Thanks, :D.))
Landon watched them whispered to each other, and rolled his eyes, turning back to his book. He turned the age, and added something on his star chart.
Siobhan laughed aloud. "That's what he says," she responded, looking up to the stars and drawing a line straight from Jupiter to Altair. Glancing upwards she chuckled. "I see that look on your face, Landon!"
((Got to go!))
Zach looked over at Landon, then at the stars. "So what house are you in, Landon?" He asked conversationally.
((Awww ok bye!))
((Awww ok bye!))
((Night Ro!!!))"What look?" he asked, looking back at them, his eyebrows raised.
((Oh, dang, I forgot interrupting the Fencing Arena, I guess that'll have to wait. Lol. Good-bye! Have a good weekend!))
((You too, Ro!! Byeeee! :) ))
Half of Siobhan's mouth quirked in a smile and she motioned towards Landon, "Zach," she raised an eyebrow to Landon apologetically, "Landon, you are looking at the professor like a...a stunned fish." Shrugging her lanky shoulders she went back to the paper, the good-natured jib lightening the air, the students' robes lightly brushing the roof's flagstones with a swish.
Zach laughed to himself at her description and smirked at her. "So how've you been, love?" He asked.
Siobhan's cheeks pinkened despite herself and she put her head to work on the Astronomy project. "Great," she responded, giving the boy a sidelong glance she then questioned. "And you?"
Zach smiled and went back to his parchment. "Good." He replied, glancing at her. She was adorable when she blushed, though he didn't say anything.
Siobhan caught his look. "That is your 'Si's so pretty' look." She announced, the professor beginning to collect the student's work. "Back to your assignment."
Zach laughed and finished off his assignment. "Well, it's quite true." He muttered back, handing the professor his assignment.
Siobhan tossed her dark eyes skyward, adding her paper to the pile. Professor Merriweather riffled through them and lifted her black eyebrows approvingly, "Impressive work, children," she advised the group. Siobhan shared a smile with her group, calling out thanks to the professor."Hmmf." She remarked to Zach.
Zach leaned in closer to her.
"You can't deny the truth, love. Sorry." He shrugged nonchalantly and smirked.
"You can't deny the truth, love. Sorry." He shrugged nonchalantly and smirked.
Siobhan tossed her head and scoffed, sauntering towards the entryway and then throwing a few good-byes over her shoulder she left Astronomy; her heels clacking on the stone steps.
Zach sighed and hurried after her. "So, what are you up to today?" He asked, walking beside her. His long legs made it easier to keep up with Siobhan's quick pace.
Siobhan descended the stairs quickly, giving him a mild look. "I shan't be antisocial to my poor sweetheart, although I've to drop these off in Hufflepuff common - where should I meet you?" she asked, continuing to walk with papers piled in her hands.
Zach thought for a moment, then snapped. "Viaduct. I'll see you there, love." He smiled and kissed her cheek before turning around and walking the other way to the viaduct.
((Want me to post or you?))
((Want me to post or you?))
Siobhan tilted her head noncommittally and continued down the stairs by herself.((By your leave, moi. Sorry for the tardy postings!))
((Thank you!))
Mod
He moved away from the lens and sketched Saturn's position and compared the coordinates to Mars.
"75° north and 108° west," he muttered, subtracting the sums.
Rylen was sitting on a stool next to a telescope, a bit dazed. She always had no idea what was going on in this class. She heard a boy next to her say something quietly and turned to look at him. Her hearing was always quite good.
"I take it I'm the only person here that can't understand this stuff." she said with a half smile.
Mod
He smiled a little whispering back, "Half the stuff I say makes no sense. I pretend I get this junk." He said he mouth curving into a grin.
"Astronomy is my worst subject," he added.
"You had me convinced," she admitted, giggling. "Mine's Divination, but Astronomy is a close second behind. I'm Rylen, by the way." It was somewhat comforting to know she's not the only one that does bad in this class. Frankly, she does pretty bad in every class.
Mod
Rylen stiffled a laugh, noticing for the first time how loud her voice must've been. "Like I said, I really don't know what's going on here," she said in the quietest voice she could manage with Luke being able to hear her. She scooted closer to the telescope near her and looked into it. She saw many tiny stars and probably planets that she couldn't identify. She clenched her teeth in frustration and looked down at her book, trying to atleast vaguely understand the lesson.
Mod
Jupiter? Or was that Venus? Or just a bright star? Oh, the bluish planets were so much easier to identify.
A smile spread across Rylen's face as she remembered something. Jupiter was supposed to be the largest planet. She quickly grabbed her pencil and tried to find out the coordinates. She looked over at Luke. He was looking into his own telescope. She thought she should share this information with him, since he'd been nice to her and almost got in trouble for it.
After Rylen figured out all the information about Jupiter, she reached over and tapped Luke's telescope to get his attention.
Mod
"What is it?" He mouthed, hoping she got the message.
"With that sort of attitude, I shouldn't wonder." Siobhan whispered, her pen scratching on the parchment when she leaned over to speak. Siobhan typically did not enjoy the Roof - too reminiscent of Durmstrang - this night though, the stars were cold and the evening warm and still; the Lake gleamed merrily with the lights!
