*Morpheus pov*
I sat across from Abara, a glass of whisky in one hand and a chart in the other, "This is good stuff," I said to the man who was pouring himself another glass of whisky
Abara was sporting a large smile as he replied, "More than good, maybe the students can finally see where my passion comes from," he took a sip of his drink before taking out another chart
Scooting to the edge of his seat he angled the chart so we could both see, "Just look at this, a chance like tomorrow hasn't happened in centuries. So what do you say?" he asked
A smile made its way onto my lips as I put down the chart, "I agree this is a rare opportunity one that will be beneficial to the students, I will agree to your joint class," in one swift motion I downed my drink before standing
As I prepared to leave his room Abara stood clasping me on the shoulder, "I knew you would agree, I already took the liberty to inform Albus I look forward to teaching with you," he said with a wide smile
Chuckling I replied, "I look forward to class tomorrow, if possible during breakfast drop off any specific topics you want to touch on I'll build off of you," I suggested
Abara nodded moving over to his star charts, "Perfect I'll get you some notes tomorrow,"

Walking back to my room my mind mulled over the proposition Abara made earlier. A collaborative class between my fourth-year divination students and his fourth-year astronomy students. The reason being for specifically the fourth-year students is because that's the class he has for tomorrow night.
Tomorrow a very rare phenomenon will be taking place called the "Celestial Cascade," an event where a series of celestial bodies align in a cascading formation across the night sky. This breathtaking occurrence happens once every few centuries, creating a mesmerizing visual spectacle.
During the Celestial Cascade, planets, moons, and stars align in a way that their luminous trails create an intricate, cascading pattern. This phenomenon is accompanied by an ethereal glow that bathes the night sky in hues of celestial blue and silver. Wizards and astronomers alike anticipate the Celestial Cascade for its rarity and its association with prophecies and magical occurrences.
Of course, this led to us wanting to combine classes, he will talk about the astrology impact while I will talk about the divination side of things.
Sadly, since he suggested it and I had no reason to turn the suggestion down I now need to prepare many things in advance as I was planning to perform a ritual tomorrow night.
I still can but I need to prepare everything tonight to be ready for after the class.
Entering my room I began by taking out some Herkimer Diamond Crystals, these crystals can be made for Crystal Ball viewing but tonight I'm doing something different.
Putting them into a stone bowl I took out a black obsidian mirror and set it to the side. Next, I took out a grinder and began to forcefully break the crystals.
"essentia dimittere te" (release your essence)
"essentia dimittere te"
"essentia dimittere te"
As I murmured the incantations a soft almost transparent dust began to form, it glittered with magic.
"habet essentia tua" (contain your essence)
"habet essentia tua"
The contradicting chant kept the magical essence from leaving the bowl, as I continued to chant the diamond crystals were turned into a fine powder that oozed magical power.
After hours of chanting I finally stopped and quickly sealed the bowl. Seeing my job was done I called it a night.

"Good evening, class! Today, we embark on a journey into the extraordinary realm of the Celestial Cascade. Please take your seats, and let's dive into the wonders that await us." Abara said excitedly
The astronomy classroom was expanded to fit the right amount of students and currently said students were captivated by the sky.
The Celestial Cascade is quite a sight, I remember my first time seeing it just like it was yesterday.
"This alignment is influenced by the complex gravitational interactions among the celestial entities involved. The specific arrangement results from a combination of their orbits, positions, and relative distances, creating the unique and breathtaking pattern observed during the phenomenon. The intricacies of these gravitational forces, coupled with the vastness of space, contribute to the rarity of the Celestial Cascade, making it a captivating and infrequent occurrence." Abara said seriously
Peering off into the sky he continued, "Now, what does that mean for us wizards and witches? Well to be honest if you don't know or specialize in astronomy this is just another beautiful phenomenon. But if you're like me, and hopefully some of you find interest in this the celestial cascade means a lot more. For example, I can perform specific spells I normally couldn't. If rituals weren't banned I would have a lot more to say but just know this is a very special event I wanted you all to see," he chuckled awkwardly
I feel his pain, having to limit your teaching material because of a childish ban on a whole branch of magic is agonizing.
Seeing his plight I decided to speak up, "What Professor Abara is trying to convey is this celestial event is something wizards of his specialty dream of. As students, all you can do right now is observe I'm sure you have all thought at one point in time astronomy has no function but looking at the stars but, Professor Abara over here shattered that perception and I think he will do so again tonight," I could see his smile at my words
Confidence grew back into the professor as he stepped forward, "Right, let me demonstrate for you something that I can only do because of this event," he brandished his wand and began to chant softly
capturing the attention of his Astronomy class and my divination class. With a flick and a whispered incantation, Abara cast "Luminos Cascadis."
As the spell unfolded, an ethereal glow enveloped the room, mimicking the celestial hues of the rare Celestial Cascade. The students gasped in amazement as luminescent trails materialized, forming an intricate pattern reminiscent of the celestial event in the sky.
The once far-away sight materialized in front of the students, the ethereal glow not only shining on the class but the whole Castle.
As the students marveled at the sight one student cursed loudly, "Bloody hell why do I feel so full of energy?" he said taking out his wand
Flicking my wrist I called the wand into my grasp, "No magic," I said shaking my head
Groans filled the classroom as Abara chuckled, "Don't tell me you thought this spell was just a pretty sight? No, it's a mass-effect spell used to enhance all magical beings bathed in the light. This is the true pinnacle of astronomy," Pride shone through his voice
"If the phenomenon is so rare then how and why does this spell exist?" one of the students asked she wore Ravenclaw robes
"Excellent question, this spell was made prior to the last celestial cascade. The inventor was a genius astronomer who was in the midst of war. They knew from the stars the Cascade was happening soon so for countless months they created this spell to help their allies. Using this very same spell they defended their home against invaders and now I present it to you!" he answered
I didn't personally see said battle but I heard about it, sadly I never met the genius who made this spell.
