True to his word. Sean had used the Room of Requirement to provide Highwing a wonderful New Home. And Highwing loved every single shade of grass in the Room of Requirement. For most days, Highwing would live there. Until Sean needed her for some missions or that sort of thing. He still could always use his broom in the meantime. 

While that was going on though, Sean had attended his first Astronomy Class. Astronomy Class was held on the Astronomy Tower at the highest point in Hogwarts. And being a class that studied the movement of the stars... it was held at Night time. Which could easily mess up ones sleep schedule if they had an internal clock inside them. 

Sean noticed the Astronomy metal work above him, and the stained glass windows having stages of the moon. When he walked in, he saw Adelaide Oakes. One of Sarah's Dormmates speaking to a Slytherin with cards. Divination Cards to be specific. Of course, Sean wasn't taking Divinations. So he had no clue as to what they were talking about.  

"And your reading is- the Dragon. That's- exciting, I suppose." Adelaide was saying. "Perhaps you're due for an adventure." 

"I choose my own fate." Sean said to himself as he found an empty seat next to Amit. 

"Oh, hello, Sean." Amit greeted. 

"Amit." Sean greeted looking to the other side of the table as Adelaide kept reading Divination Cards. 

"Divination and Astronomy are two completely different things, Sean." Amit said. "Professor Shah will tell you the same thing. And she'll certainly tell those two right there." 

"Do I don't need to take Divination to understand Astronomy?" Sean asked. 

"Nope." Amit answered. 

"Good. Because I'm not taking Divination." Sean informed.

"I don't blame you. I dropped out of that class last year." Amit replied. "Kept reading the Tea Leaves wrong. It's one of the most complicated classes in all of Hogwarts." 

"Well, Natty's Mother is the Professor." Sean pointed out.

"She is." Amit agreed. "But that doesn't make it easy to understand Divination." And then he laughed. "Next thing you know, Hogwarts will get a Centaur to teach the class." 

"So where is Professor Shah?" Sean asked.

"She should be coming in about... 3...2...1." Amit and pointed to the door.

"Ladies." Professor Shah walked behind Adelaide and her friend. An Middle Aged Indian Woman with spectacles and an Indian Style Garb. 

"Professor Shah." Adelaide practically had her cards fumble out of her hands. 

"Astronomy is not Divination." Shah informed. "You won't find the mysteries of the cosmos charted out on your palms, or at the bottom of your teacups." 

"Told you." Amit smirked. 

Sean was listening to every word that was coming out of Shah's mouth. 

"Alas, the heavens remain hazy to the starry eyed." Shah continued. "Now if you were to devote yourselves to persistent and painstaking observation, you just might catch a glimpse. With that in mind, please take your telescope- tonight we will be on the observation desk." 


All students moved toward the Observation Deck. In the chilly Autumn Night, some people were shivering out. Especially Adelaide. Sean in the meantime, could heat himself up with some fire spells to warm his hands. As well as creating a fire breath for him out of his mouth. A new wandless technique he had taught himself while in the Room of Requirement. That was the key to staying warm. Sarah was shivering while looking through her telescope.
