WHO: Constance Peixes and any of her Astronomy students that want extra credit/just want to see a meteor shower
TONE: Academic, with a side of 'oooh' and 'aaaah'.
RATING: G
WHEN: Late October 20, into the wee hours of the 21st
WHERE: a remote part of school grounds with a clear view of the night sky
WHAT: a field trip, to observe the Orionid meteor shower! Mix, mingle, ask what that one funny-looking trail is, but more importantly, enjoy the show!
STATUS: Ongoing!

Thank goodness the weather held. It was a bit of a chilly night, so Constance had advised her students to dress warmly, and she'd made a quick arrangement for a keg of hot butterbeer to be delivered to the site for later on, along with hot chocolate and tea. But the sky was clear, and it would make for good observation weather.

She set up the rest of the telescopes and equipment, put up a few defensive charms up - mostly against any animals that might disturb the site, but also against any humans who might try to tamper with it - and back to campus.

Once it was time, she gathered up her group, and began to head out. Once they arrived, she passed around a set of several past showers, pointing out what to look for.

Now to wait for the show.

[ooc: prose or action is fine! also, the second youtube link is better with sound off, watched in HD fullscreen if your computer can.]

It takes a gentle touch

 WHO: Mamma and anyone who might be lurking about the Greenhouses
TONE: Lighthearted
RATING: PG
WHEN: A few days before the first students Quidditch match
WHERE: The Greenhouses
WHAT: Mamma's gathering a few bits and pieces to get her healing potions underway - can't ever have too much before Quidditch season starts up!
STATUS: On going

Normally Mamma would go for a stroll into the Forbidden Forest to gather her supplies, but as luck would have it she had no need for any particularly exotic ingredients, so she instead kept to the Greenhouses. Basket tucked under an arm, she hummed to herself as she moved between the different plants, taking careful clippings of what she needed and making sure not to touch any student projects.

And every gasp of breath, I grabbed it just to find you

 WHO: Bruce and whoever
TONE: Relaxed
RATING: PG-13 for potential language
WHEN: 19th October
WHERE: Castle hallways, ground floor
WHAT: It's lunchbreak and instead of being a good boy and fueling up, Bruce is napping.
STATUS: ONGOING

After becoming a werewolf, Bruce had found that he got tired far easier than before, prone to nodding off when sitting in the sun. Having had a restless night, he was exhausted and needed a nap, but couldn't be bothered to go all the way back to Ravenclaw tower. So, he'd found a relatively quiet hallway on the western side of the castle, picked a windowsill, and had promptly fallen asleep while sitting on it, relishing in the occasional hints of sunlight without having to deal with the cold weather outside.
