Name: Astronomic Measures

Season/Round: DPC2 — Hogwarts Subjects Poems

A/N: Since we Magpies had our BYE during the second round, we didn't have an assigned subject to write about during the Daily Prophet competition. I settled for Astronomy, which is, alongside Herbology, my favourite Hogwarts subject.


I whine and yawn and angrily glower

Why is the class held in the tallest tower?

There's so many stairs, who cares

These unholy hours are giving me grey hairs

I simply want to take a quick nap

But Sinistra is having none of that crap

I silently grumble and grab my telescope

Really should have picked a warmer robe

Stare at the sky, I can't even begin to scrape

The idea of using the astrolabe

Planets won't align, my star chart is a mess

Please give me a sign, this is giving me stress

The big one is moon, that much I've figured

Before the noon, I won't be leaving my bed

Skipping the 8:00 AM class, never getting a free pass

Since Professor Snape hates my sass

It'll be worth it in the end

Few more ours of sleep will be godsend.
