[The voice that speaks from the journals sounds stern, even as it's rather smooth, even. This is the voice of a lady who does not mess around.]

Hello, everyone. My name is Professor Constance Peixes, and come fall term, I'll be serving as one of the Astronomy professors. I look forward to working with you all.

However, I wish to warn you that I expect a lot out of my students. In return, you will have the experience of learning from one of the Ministry's finest astronomers.

As such, over the summer, I am assigning a simple task to each of you.

For those of you going into second year through fourth year: in the early morning of 15th July, the moon will be hiding Jupiter from view. I want all of you to observe this event, if possible, and write an essay on your observations.

Fourth through sixth-years: the preceding assignment, and one other: the constellation Cepheus will be visible through the summer. I would like you to track the passage of the constellation, noting the position relative to its closest neighboring constellations and write an essay on your observations. I would also like to see your tracking charts.

Sixth and seventh-years: Both the prior assignments. In addition, each of you are to pick two additional constellations and track their patterns over the summer. Both your charts and your reports will be due on the first class of fall term.

I wish you all an excellent summer, and will look forward to meeting you in the fall.

You worked for the Ministry? Why'd you quit?

Would extra credit be given to first years who complete any of the above assignments?

[There's a few ink splatters before he mans up to write.]

I wasn't aware that you would be teaching here.

Well, this is certainly a surprise.
