Diana Padmore, had had the best years of her life, she barely saw or talked to her former family, and she found a passion for Charms along with Lara Chang, but her favorite class was Astronomy she loved to learn about the sky and outer space, her parents had given her a bunch of muggle books on the subject, they said that Astronomy was the one subject at Hogwarts that was almost identical to its muggle counterpart, of course humans had to build giant telescopes to even come close to what wizards could do with a normal telescope and an augmentavista spell, but they had ways of constantly monitoring the skies even in daylight, they wanted to see and explore, not so long ago they had reached to put a person on the moon, the first magical person on the moon had been a witch named Artemis Diana in Greece a long time ago, muggles had named her a goddess, but in reality she was just a hunter witch with a talent for Astronomy who thought there were a bunch of wolves in the moon.
Maybe the Carrows knew something when they named her after her, or maybe they were thinking of the hunter side more than the astronomy side. The wizarding world had stop caring about outer space a long time ago, they mined the moon sometimes to get moon dust and moon rocks for potions. But Diana wanted to go beyond that, she wanted to explore the universe, maybe there was more life out there, muggles searched for the possibility of extraterrestrial life and she wanted to do the same, she was sure muggle technology enhanced by magic could find life outside of earth.
Diana's fourth year she and Lara had chosen magical theory as an elective, they were just fourth years, but their great talent for charms landed them a spot on the class. their first class was about emotional magic, the first kind of magic wizards performed in their life, they then touched briefly on Love, one of the most mysterious and powerful emotions, it was said that magic performed out of a strong feeling of love, towards a friend, a relative or special someone(this last one generated quite a reaction amongst the students most of them sixth and seventh years) could entail untold miracles, some even said muggles could perform magic if powered by very strong love, only one wizard in the entire world had been an expert on love magic and performed it constantly, he had been so powerful that he broke both muggle and wizard history in half, Jesus of Nazareth, some muggles saw him as the son of God, some wizards did too, as they said only the son of something as powerful as a deity could hold enough power and love to perform the miracles he did, that even for wizard standards were quite impossible, gifting ordinary muggles with magic at an adult age, curing illnesses with just a single touch, raising people back from the dead, and perform a sacrifice that would keep all humans safe from dangerous and dark forces that in modern times one could only imagine. Love magic was barely performed these days, as wizards had grown costumed to use normal neutral magic, or dark magic if they were like her old family, as aparently Love Magic was really hard to do.
Diana found the class fun but Sturgis was absolutely enchanted by it, the mysteries of emotional magic were clearly his element not so much for Diana, she liked Astronomy better, but just like with Astronomy Diana had already come up with ways to take the topic further, to harness love magic to better the world, but that seemed more impossible than the alien theory.
She sat in Astronomy class, this year they shared the class with Griffindor, so Diana sat with Lara Chang and Lily Evans as professor Aurora made her way infront of the student with lumos coming out of her wand.
"Good night class hoped you've had an amazing day and will have a good day tomorrow" the professor said
On the back, James could be heard saying, "I only like this class because we can stay up till midnight, perfect time for pranks" the three girls rolled their eyes as they payed attention to Professor Aurora
"Today is going to be a different class, normally we spot the little points glowing in the dark and how they move across the cosmos, but today we're going to study light itself, a magnificent natural phenomenon, that allows us to see the world with our eyes, light is a pretty powerful thing so we must be careful, is so powerful that muggles have found a way to harness it as their own form of magic, because of this I've set you into pairs so that no one ends up burned, or blind hopefully I would I hate for any of you to go to the infirmary tonight" she said
