Out of all the wonders that the Galaxy had to offer mankind; it is the stars, those celestial orbs of light, that continue to enrapture the eye of all that behold them. That feeling of bliss that sweep over one as they tilted their head back furrowed their brow in wonder and amazement. Or the feeling that no matter what one could accomplish in life, one's actions would be dwarfed by the dazzling stars from on high. But if those mentalities didn't apply to everyone that took a glance into the night sky, then there was at least one person that did appreicate the true greatness and glory that those celestial bodies held.
This one person, Aaron Ravenwood, could have been a modern day Galieo if he had the funding for such experiments. He was born and bred a wizard; travelling about to various schools and muggle observatories. He even had a stint in the Belgium Navy as a navigator, but he hurriedly resigned after one of the crew started to catch on that he was using a wand to illuminate certain stars that would set them on course. Aaron was about 6'2" and was a decent weight for his height; he was by no means overweight, but he was no bodybuilder as well. He had black hair and wore glasses, due to his lack of vision in his left eye, though it was not those traits that would draw attention to the man.
He still wore a ridiculous attire, the very same one that he wore in the Belgium Navy, and refused to do away with the old thing. It was as much a part of him as the stars above were, and it would kill the man to part with his old attire. Though he only wore it for special occasions and it was not every, ordinary day that one was asked to teach Astronomy at such a presitgious school as this. At age 25, he had never dreamt of such a job though when he peeled open the letter asking him to come to Spain; he was overjoyed.
So pushing against the doors of the Entrance Hall, Aaron made his way into his new school. All the young minds that he could expose to the love of the Sun, the Moon and the Heavens above. It was like a dream come true; no need to have to pick through trash dumpsters for supper, having any equipment that he required at his figure tips, and to once more be a child. For that is what happens to many when they return to school; their inner child breaks free, with utmost glee, and jumps about as if they were a girl on a shopping spree.
With a contented sigh, Aaron Ravenwood set down his shabby suitcase and collapsed in an undignified manner onto the floor with a childish smile on his face. So...Firefox University, perhaps the most acclaimed school in all of Spain; what surprises would this ancient school have in store for a new Professor? Well, this Professor was about to find out.
