now what i'm gonna say may sound indelicate series (aka the HP verse)

This is not a part of the main story, as that takes place in the 1990 and this somewhere past 2006. But I couldn't not write it.


WinzardingWhovian: You're not wrong about the rambling. And we plan to show anything and everything we think of that doesn't fit in the main story(stories) for various reasons in this collection


VIVE LA PLUTO


Astronomy is pretty high up the list of Alexander's favourite subjects, but then again, the lower end of the list consists out of History of Magic alone—why, just why couldn't they have at least a partly competent teacher whose voice was not monotonous enough to put most students to sleep?

Honestly, it's just hard to pick a favourite between all the different types of magic he is learning. Apart from Magical Theory that is clearly at the top—how could it not be?—the only real distinction is possible due to the teachers, really.

And yeah, Astronomy is near the upper end of this list. The teacher, Professor Sinistra, is competent and knows how to handle children—which, for some reason, is a quality that only half of the teachers here have—and she is no Head of House, so she had no pointless bias in that regard.

Tonight, they will be starting a chart of all the planets of the solar system, their current placements, and the speed of their movements, created by the distance between the weeks.

It is the kind of work that Alex could easily lose himself in and he is pleased to see that Pluto is included on the list.

But, apparently, not everyone is of this opinion, for some reason.

"Why is Pluto even on this list?" Maxwell Diggs, a Muggleborn from Hufflepuff, wonders around a minute after he had received the list. "Pluto hasn't been a planet since 2006."

"Really? That's-" Thomas replies, but he was interrupted by Alex's scream.

"VIVE LA PLUTO! FUCK YOU!" He yells, pointing at Bell with a pencil. Honestly, Diggs can be lucky they're not in Potions, or it would have been a knife.

Professor Sinistra scolds Alex for his language. She doesn't seem to have gathered that the list of people who can get Alex to not say something is very small and she is not on it.

Hercules and Lafayette, however, begin applauding at Alex's words, while a majority of all students raised at least partially in the Muggle world join in at most a few seconds later.

"Ohana means family!" Katie Bell adds loudly. "And family means that no one gets left behind or forgotten. VIVE LA PLUTO!"

The last sentence was joined by all the cheering students.

John turns to Eliza. "Do you have any idea what's going on?"

"Angelica told me something very similar happened in her class. Apparently, a lot of people take Pluto no longer being a planet very personally."

"No wonder that Alexander is among them, I would say," Aaron comments as he adjusts his telescope

"Did I hear that correctly, Aaron? Was that an opinion?" John teases good heartedly.

Aaron groaned, but the smile on his face showed his amusement. "Shut up, John."
