The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 54 Astronomy Lessons

The Astronomy Tower is the tallest tower at Hogwarts, and astronomy classes are held at the top of this tower.

Having said that, the astronomy class is a rather strange type. There is no unified book for this class. Students only need to bring telescopes, quills and parchment to class.

This astronomical tower is really high, and the group of people who went to the top of the astronomical tower for class had a deep understanding.

Everyone was climbing up the spiral staircase, and they didn't know how many floors they reached. Everyone felt an inexplicable dizziness, and their breathing became a little short due to the movement.

"What floor is it?" Arya asked breathlessly.

"The eighth floor." George raised his finger to a portrait of a drunken knight beside him, and introduced to the crowd with a smile, "Last time, when Fred and I came, we saw this guy drunk and turned his head when he was drunk. Fell into the river and nearly drowned."

"How could the characters in the portrait be drowned." Angelina couldn't help complaining.

"Who said no. Look carefully!" Fred winked mischievously at everyone, combined his hands into a trumpet suit, and shouted at the portrait of the drunken knight, "Ah!"

Then, a sight that stunned everyone happened in front of them. The drunk knight in the portrait seemed to be startled by the shout, and suddenly became panicked, started running wildly, and finally fell into a river next to the mural. inside.

The drunk knight threw himself twice in the water and then sank into the river. The woman in the portrait next door hurriedly called for help and tried to fish him out of the river.

Everyone was stunned to see this scene, and they all widened their mouths in surprise.

Soon, everyone had to speed up their steps to climb up, because Fred's strange scream annoyed several paintings next to them, and they all stared at Albert and his party dissatisfied.

"It's almost there," George gasped.I don't know how long they walked, they finally reached the top of the tower,
"It's really a long journey. Fortunately, we have enough time." Albert glanced at his pocket watch, and the class time was coming.

"In other words, if it rains at night, I won't be able to take this astronomy class." George suddenly sounded something, and he couldn't see the sky when it rained.

"Who knows? I guess I'll leave a bunch of homework for everyone!" Angelina reached out and pushed open the wooden door of the Astronomy Tower.

Professor Sinista has been waiting for everyone at the top of the tower, and she has just finished a class.

After nightfall, the wind on the top of the astronomical tower was very strong, and everyone huddled in the corner to chat.The Hufflepuff students haven't arrived yet, they're running late.

"I guess I got lost." George gloated a little, hoping that Professor Sinista would deduct points from Hufflepuff's students.

George was destined to be disappointed, though, and Cedric and the other Hufflepuffs made their way to the top of the Astronomy Tower before class.

"It's really hard to find here, and I was almost late." Cedric Diggory was short of breath and greeted several people here with a smile.

"Okay, come here, the class is about to start." Professor Sinista attracted all the freshmen, an item covered by a canvas was placed beside her.

"I know you are very unfamiliar with astronomy. Astronomy is to teach you this knowledge." She said and pulled the canvas aside to reveal what was hidden underneath.

"This..." Albert saw what was under the canvas, it was a small solar system model housed in a round glass cover.

This model of the solar system is very beautiful.In the middle is the burning sun, surrounded by nine planets and their satellites, all suspended in circular glass spheres, sparkling in their respective positions.

"This is the solar system, and we live here." Professor Sinista pointed to the earth and continued, "Your class this semester is to learn how to use a telescope to observe the sky and find the nine planets in the sky above us. specific location."

Students from wizarding families were obviously unfamiliar with celestial bodies, and Albert doubted whether they knew that the planet they lived on was called Earth.

Professor Sinista took the magic wand and pointed to the moving celestial bodies. He briefly introduced the movement of the celestial bodies, the solar system where they are located and other simple astronomical knowledge, and taught everyone how to draw a astrological chart and display it in the astrological chart. Mark the names and positions of the nine planets.

For Albert, it's really nothing.

However, for others, it is difficult to remember for a while.

"Wrong, this position is Mars, not Jupiter." Albert reluctantly corrected Fred's mistake, and George next to him was not much better.

After everyone finished drawing the star map of the solar system, Professor Sinista began to teach everyone how to find the position of the planet they needed in the galaxy above their heads.

The wizard's telescope effect is actually very good. It may have something to do with magic. It can see things more clearly than ordinary Muggle astronomical telescopes.

"Have you found the location of Mars?" Shanna narrowed one eye and looked into Albert's lens.

They don't even know which one is Mars, and for a freshman who has never used a telescope, adjusting the focus itself takes a lot of time.

"I didn't find it." Albert was also quite helpless. In fact, he had already looked in the direction of Professor Sinista's finger, but it was not easy to find the most sparks in the sea of ​​stars.

Professor Sinista, who was walking around, would occasionally look at the students' telescopes and correct some of their mistakes.

"If you only rely on magic, do you really have the ability to travel to the universe?" This strange thought suddenly appeared in Albert's mind.

There should be no way!

After all, the number of wizards in the Harry Potter world is very small, and the scarcity means that the number of geniuses is also small...

Maybe the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic has research on this, but that's just research after all...

After getting rid of the thoughts in his head, Albert refocused his attention on the telescope and began to use the telescope to admire the stars in the sky.

Before, he had hardly seen the sight of the sky full of stars?
Until the end of the get out of class, Albert hadn't found the nine planets in the solar system, and he didn't care. The more important part of this class is to let everyone understand some astronomical knowledge and be familiar with how to use the telescope. Professor Sinista's family The homework is also very simple, just memorize the approximate positions of the nine planets and their names.

"It's almost curfew, go back quickly." Li Jordan reminded.

"I'm a little hungry. I'm going to the kitchen to get something to eat." Albert took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. He said, there are still twenty minutes left, which is enough time.

"Wait a minute, we'll go with you." The twins quickly handed their backpacks to Li Jordan, "Don't worry, we'll remember to bring food back for you."

"You..." Li Jordan looked at the backs of the three of them, trembling with anger, "You three... bastards, wait for me, don't leave me alone!"
