Leaning forward he did his best to make out the picture on the front cover and.... "What kind of superhero is that?" That wasn't superman? Or spiderman? Or batman? Or... Was that even a super hero? Of course Flailsteed wouldn't even read the conventional good comics. Only the best ones! "And oh-uh-ahem Hi Professor," Could more people show up please? This was uncomfortable.

Turning the page of his book, the astronomer looked up when he saw Mr. Adair entered...first? Well, this was an unexpected surprise. Clearly a testament to the fact that the fourth year clearly did not see him as Medea accomplice to, well, to anything.

"Good day, Mr. Adair," he greeted with a cheeky smile. "Superhero? Well, I suppose you could call them intergalactic superheroes..." Because really, what defined someone as a superhero anyway? To himself growing up, Spock had been a superhero and he didn't even wear a cape. "Explorers is perhaps a better term, however."

Looking up again, he smiled to the Hufflepuff as she entered. "Good day, Miss Carrington. It was quite pleasant, thank you for asking. Save for the basilisk that is."

"Hello, Mr. Rogers," he smiled at the Gryffindor. And no, the Sir or Knight or Lord or whatever name it was that Sir Nicholas had planted into the first year's head was not going to stick.

Following the boy's gaze, the astronomer chuckled before answering. "You must be referring to the armillary sphere. It is a a very old tool used to model of objects in the sky and their movements, but we will not be using it today."

Besides, Professor Flamsteed was an alien. And if he should tell the mothership to blow the planet sky high, Cutty was hoping to likewise be made the exception to the kablooey of it all. "Good evening, Professor Flamsteed." He greeted the Astronomer lint-free and clean and with well-fitting robes this time around. He then found a seat that he thought ideally perched for his purposes.

Airey gave a quick cursory glance over his shoulder at the afternoon sky. Mr. Mordaunt must be working a bit too hard on his new entrepreneuring ways and lost track of the time. Airey still needed to make his contribution to the cause...perhaps after the lesson.

"Hello, Mr. Mordaunt. Quite the little notice you have up on the student bulletin board," he said with a salute. Mostly to let the boy know that he had, in fact, seen it and to hint at the fact that he would seek out the Slytherin's services later.

Angel walked into the room with a big smile on her face. "Morning Professor" Angel was in a very happy mood. "How are you today?" Angel then saw that the Professor was reading a comic book. "Sir my favourite comic book character has to be the hulk, I just love what he does." Angel beamed seriously the green monster was amazing.

Angel then went and sat down in her seat and waited for the lesson to start, she could have talked all day about comic books but she didn't want to get into trouble.

And this one had perhaps just woken up from a nap. At least she was in much better spirits than he had seen her previously. Teenagers, about as predictable as, well....as a year at Hogwarts maybe. Or the weather. You look for all signs that point to rain, find it, and end up getting a blizzard or heat wave instead.

"Afternoon, Miss Valentine," he greeted the young Gryffindor. "I'm doing well, and you seem to be doing much better as well." Again, stellar to see. Seriously. "The Hulk is a fascinating read to be sure, but not my favorite."

Sisterly nap time? He could hope at least. Would mean the teenage angst had passed. "Afternoon, Miss Valentine." The other Valentine that really should have apologized for her actions.

Ahem.

...

"Good to see you again, Miss Samson," he smiled at the first year before giving the cover of his comic a quick glance. "Just the first issue of one of my favorite little comic books series I grabbed off the shelf in my office." It wasn't his favorite FAVORITE issue, but it did well enough to pass the time while the house elves were working away.

She wanted to find her seat before anyone else stole it from her. Curiosity about the things in the room could wait, not that she had any.

"Afternoon," he greeted the Slytherin.

He then nearly facepalmed at the sudden reminder that he had not, again, placed name tags out on the desks for students to fill out . Or, well, not exactly fill out this term. He had a little something special planned than the standard paper or sticker name tags. Heh.

He would conjure them up here in a minute or two.

She scanned the classroom, noticing Professor Flamsteed quickly. Ooh, a comic book. "Hello, Professor Flamsteed." She greeted with a smile.
...

"Afternoon, Miss Abbott," he saluted the third year. "Can I expect to see you tearing up the board with gobstones again this term?" A question asked partially out of genuine interest (because she was quite fascinating to watch in action. Such a natural talent for the game) and partially because, well, she was stiff competition. Needed to train his Gryffindors up!

Her expression hardened a bit and she swiftly made her way over to an empty desk. She wasn't going to sit with any of the losers that had arrived before her. No, thank you.
...

Airey returned the smile to the first year, old to have her face suddenly turn sour. What? Was his smile not acceptable? Did he have some spinach stuck between his teeth? He was tempted to conjure a mirror and look, but settled instead for running his tongue over the front of his teeth.

Nope, didn't feel anything...

Airey subtly waved to the newcomer...whose last name was going to be the tongue twister of the century. Which was partly why he did not greet her out loud. He was fairly positive he could not pronounce it yet.

Though maybe he should tell him he finally found the Room of Requirements and that awesome skate park he thought up in his head.

Now to sit and hope he learns something interesting.

"More than you know, Mr. Barrington. More than you know," he winked at the Slytherin. "I trust you have had no more problems finding the Room of Requirement now, yes?"

Both of her sisters were there, and AJ decided to sit by Angel. Abby still wasn't completely forgiven for all of the mess she started with Angel, and certainly not for slapping her. "Hey Angel." AJ was beaming. Could her sister tell?

Oh sweet solstice they were all three in the same room.

No teenage angst during the lesson, ladies. Okay?

One might find it odd how she always sat up front but really her main reason was...she was tiny for her age. If she wasn't close she wouldn't see what was happening.
...

"Good day and welcome to Astronomy," he saluted the first year as she made her way towards her seat.

"Hallo, Professor. Hope all's well with you.'' Time to find his friends, yes? Adi glanced around the room. Oh hey there, Zander, Lux, Leah and Cutty! The four of them got a wave each. His eyes found the Valentine sisters but he made his way towards AJ and Angel. "Hey, guys,'' he greeted, choosing a seat next to the girlfriend and giving her a hair a gentle tug.

Someone was looking especially happy today. Airey threw the prefect a salute and was about to both greet and congratulate him on his new badge when he saw THAT happen. Sweet solstice why. Gossip spread through this school at warp speed so why hadn't his distaste for...THAT not spread as well? Miss (Angel) Valentine had learned her lesson about hair tugging, apparently others needed to as well.

"There will be NO hair pulling in this classroom," he said, eyes all on the Hufflepuff prefect. NONE, OKAY, NONE! "Next time there will be points deducted." Or detention. It would depend on his mood.

...

"Good day to you, Mr. Baines," he saluted the first year. Had the young man gotten a better grasp of the charm yet? Airey could only hope so. That...and that the little Ravenclaw hadn't found his books flung all over the corridor floors again.

...

"Hello, Miss Guidry, congratulations to you," he said, saluting her and then pointing towards the badge pinned to her robes. It suit her, especially after the way she always assisted Miss Wright during his lessons. Airey honestly couldn't handle the tears.

And... that was it. No more talking, no bouncing, no fidgeting, no nothing. He just sat there quietly and patiently, with his elbow on his desk and head resting on his hand. It MIGHT have seemed a little concerning if you knew Tobias Tempus well, unless you saw that little smile was lingering on his face as he wrote down his name, the date, and 'Astronomy' at the top of his parchment.

Airey offered Mr. Tempus a salute and wide grin as he entered. "Afternoon, Mr. Tempus," he greeted before being taken aback a little by how...un-pogo-like the fifth year was. Although he did not want to draw attention to this change in behavior - no one liked being called out for acting a bit out of the perceived ordinary - so he instead continued to grin at the young man. "I hope you still have room in your busy schedule to teach me a new pogo trick or two this term."

Now that his back wasn't all old man like.

Looking up, she FINALLY spotted the comic in the man's hand--OHehfhfiuwhWHIRGH EDEN SQUEALED. And then noticed that she had done so...Right. Right right.

That was embarrassing.

She hid her face and just tried not to bring any MORE attention to herself. THough. She would like to tell Professor Flamsteed that Star Wars was CLEARLY better...she wouldn't.

His attention back on his comic book, for a very brief moment, his head snapped right back upwards when he heard the squeal and followed the sound until he spotted just who said sound was coming from.

A Ravenclaw. Of course.

He wiggled the comic book in her direction as a greeting.

And she could try to tell him that, but she would be wrong. On so very wrong.

...

"What makes you say that, Miss Cooper?" he asked with the slightest of eyebrow raises. What made a person the sort to read comics or not read? His curiosity was certainly tickled right now.

She threw herself into her seat but her attention stayed locked on the seemingly distracted Professor.

Airey gave his comic book another glance and laughed. "In an abstract way, I suppose you could say that it is a manual," he mused. After all, there was a bit of science behind what happened within the Star Trek universe - as fictional as it was or not. "But don't you worry, you will have your explosions today just as I promised Miss Cambridge."

And after a bit of discussion and lead in, of course.

What she did eye was the book he was holding. Comic book, interesting. The cover was what caught her attention. "Good afternoon, Professor!" BEAM! Late afternoon, but afternoon nonetheless. "Star Trek, I see." Wink.
...

"Afternoon, Miss Wisteria," he saluted, nearly calling her Number One considering the text in his hand. He simply winked at her next comment. Star Trek. Of course.

The first year sat down and waited for the lesson to start. Hugo was going to be watching you, professor. He remembered how he had told him his classes were fun and it better be true.

"Hello again, Mr. Foster," he saluted the Slytherin as he entered. No pressure on the astronut to deliver a fun lesson or anything. WAH.

COMIC BOOK? Squinting to read the tittle he quickly understood. "Are you reading that to boldly go where no man has gone before sir? 'Cause other guys may have read it." He paused. "Women too." Just saying. Plopping down at the first seat he spotting - which just so happened to be next to the Headgirl herself - Kyroh wiggled his fingers at his friends. HI MADDIE AND ZANDER AND TOBY AND DANTE AND MAGDALENA (she was his friend right? If not she still got a wave)

"Hello, Mr. Scabior," he said to the Ravenclaw, eyes once again glancing at the comic book. "You bring up an excellent little tid bit of history. Excellent indeed. You see, the Captain's Oath you quoted just now went through a slight revision two decades after the original to be more inclusive." And he always suspected that a certain Captain's actor was an advocate for this. "So it now is 'where no one has gone before.' Excellent observation and inclusive thinking, Mr. Scabior."

She picked a seat and slid into it before taking her materials out of her bad. Hopefully she wouldn't need them, because that was always more fun.

"Good day, Miss Kittredge," he saluted the Hufflepuff.

Just as she was waiting to see if Angel recognized anything different with her, they were joined by none other that her current distraction.
...

Yes, how COULD you!?

"Hello, Miss Valentine," he smiled. Even if it was delayed.

She offered him the polite kind of smile that you give to adults and authority figures before turing and trying to locate the best vantage point to sit.
...

Another one who had lost track of the time? No matter, they soon all would lose time as the lesson went on. Time was such a fickle thing.

"Hello, Miss Aldrich."

...

"Surely that is a rhetorical question, Mr. Whitlock," Airey said, snorting back his laughter. No, seriously. That was a rhetorical question, yeah?

He smiled and as he was gonna walk to his desk, he saw the comic book the professor was holding. It reminded him of the star trek handkerchief he used to help stop his bloody nose that one lesson. He smiled and commented on it, "Nice comic book you got there Professor...."

As he said his hello, he went to go look for his desk. He saw an empty one near the window and grabbed it. He put his bag down and got out his famous sketchbook and did his doodles.

"Thank you, Mr. Lecium," he beamed at the young man. "Although nice is a bit of an understatement. Took me ages to track this issue down in its original condition." And now had had a mountain of charms placed on it to ensure that no damage could come to it. Like the rest of his vintage comic collection.

She put down her things and crossed her long legs, one over the other, enjoying the freedom her pants had afforded her. It was another rule she didn't mind, and actually Justine was beginning to think she might start wearing pants over her skirt all the time.

"Afternoon, again, Miss Janvier," he nodded towards her. "Indeed. I will have to double and triple check their cleaning schedule to ensure this does not happen again."

And then he went on to grumble again somethings about NASA and time efficiency before settling back into his comic book.

But everyone kept their hair for really long, so that was good. Her Grandmother still had hair and she was like seventy.

Also, Professor. He had to be greeted, yes? It was what everyone else was doing. So yes. That was something that probably should be done.

"Hello, Professor. Cool comic!" the shorty was a bit of a nerd about old things, and this looked as vintage as they came. Sweet.

DID SHE JUST!? NOOOOOOOOOO!

Leaping into action, because he had actually seen the hair being tossed away just now, he removed his own personal lint roller from his enchanted breast pocket and rolled it over the ground right where the Ravenclaw had oh-so-casually tossed it aside.

Ahem.

"Hello," he greeted upwards from the floor. "Thank you."

And then he returned to his desk to lean against it like nothing had happened at all.

"Good day, Mr. Bay," he saluted the prefect. "One of my many Star Trek comics." He then held it out a bit closer towards the boy so he could see better. Although he ought to put it away soon as the classroom was beginning to fill up properly.

He spotted one, two, three Valentine sisters and an Adi in the mix already there. "Good evening, Professor," he greeted politely as he noticed the man while moving furth inside to find a seat.
...

"Afternoon, Mr. Atreyu," he saluted the boy. "Do me a favor and keep that lot in check, yeah?" He was half joking, as the smile dictated, half not. But since the Gryffindor had done a fine job of it at the feast, the astronomer figured he could call upon the boy's services again.

But that sounded weird with the two 'boys' in the phrase. Either way, the older boy made his way to a desk. Or at least find one. Eyes darting from side to side, he found one next to Bay. Might as well sit with someone he knew, even if it was a bit brief on the train. Sliding into the seat, he gave him a small nudge and smiled. "Hope you don't mind me sitting here,"

Because Jun was fun to sit next to. Yup.

BOY TOY!

Or no, not the boy toy. Although that would forever be a word associated with the Ravenclaw, Head Boy or not.

"Good day, Mr. Kim. Congratulations."

Would certainly be....an interesting Head dynamic this term. Just no teenage angst, please. Thank you.

Scanning the room, she didn't see friends or boyfriend yet, so she sat in a random seat and started taking her notebook and quill out of her bag.

"Good day to you, Miss McAlister," he said, giving the young lady a firm salute. "Congratulations to you as well."

Using the lint roller before she entered the classroom of course. She spotted Flamsteed reading a comic book. Star Trek. Yeah. No surprise that the astronomer was into that comic. Professor and her dad would get along while. Yes her dad was an athlete but he could be a bit of a nerd too. "Hello, professor!" She gave him a beamy face and took off to join Kace, Bay and Lux. Beaming at them she sit down with them.

Airey gave the Gryffindor a salute as well, since his hand was already up there against his forehead to do so. "Good day, Miss Bayless."

Star Trek was always great, especially the old stuff.
...

Ah yes, the Gryffindor that Sir Nicholas would not stop talking about. Although Airey couldn't quite figure out why. The ghost was just always mentioned how considerate the boy was.

"Hello, Mr. Jones," he grinned at the sixth year. "It is a STELLAR read."

Nope. WRONG.

Airey gave the Hufflepuff a small nod for a greeting before checking his sundial watch. Yes, he had waiting just about long enough to really get the show on the road. Just another minute or two...

Airey's eyes lit up like a firework at the first year's words. "I couldn't agree more!" he BEAMED as he closed the comic book and set it down on his desk. Could he give the Slytherin 200 points for her keen intuition and excellent judge of character?

Yes?

Probably not. Oh well, the thought was there.

She didn't know why exactly she said it, but she did ... maybe to comfort herself or something? Who knew. Anyway ... on to the task of finding somewhere to sit.

"Good day," he greeted the Ravenclaw, eyes still a little wild with excitement from the first year's words. "I am glad that you find my classroom aesthetically pleasing." He also found the semi circle to make it easier for people to focus. Harder to hid this way.

No she did not know most of you and no she didn't care that she didn't know who any of you were except oh hey look there was an EDEN.

Airey shook his head playfully. "You could do with just a hint more formality, Miss Caruso, and save the 'yo's' for outside of the classroom." He had no idea what Naruto was, so he didn't even know how to respond to that.

"Afternoon, Miss Brown," he smiled at the Ravenclaw as she entered. Always an unexpected joy in his classroom whenever she opened her mouth to speak.

And yes, he HAD noticed

He was prepared with all the mandatory items that Professor F wanted them to bring. Including, full uniform. So let's go! Get this class started!

"Good day, Mr. Coeur," he saluted towards the Gryffindor. Or maybe it wasn't such a good day for the boy. It looked as though he was wearing shoes made out of lead or something heavier.

Hurry up and start this lesson..

Airey simply nodded his head towards the Ravenclaw as she entered the room, offering her a quick salute when they were able to make brief eye contact. He then checked his sundial watch again and gave it a few firm taps with his index finger. Counting down from 30...

HE KNEW THAT WORD, for the record. And that was about the extent of his Spanish. Russian on the other hand...

"Hello, Miss Robles," he replied to the sixth year.

"Good day, professor." Yes. Good day to him.

"Good day to you as well, Miss Wayne," he beamed at the fifth year. OWLs this year, his smile changed to a compassionate one. Those could be tough, but he would make sure that she did well on her Astronomy one if none of the others.

Not that she really needed the extra push, she was doing quite well.

He wasn't sure if Miss Greyvson meant for those comments to be directed at him or not, considering that she was muttering under her breath and all that, so he instead flashed her two quick thumbs up just to let her know that he had overheard.

If he was supposed to that is. If not then...she did not see him give her the thumbs up.

A familiar pang of jealousy coursed through him, and Dima did the only reasonable thing to do.

Airey returned the cheery wave to the Ravenclaw, completely and blissfully oblivious to the slight internal angst over seating that took place shortly after.

Checking his sundial watch one last time, he took a few dramatic steps away from his desk and held both of his arms up. "Alright, if you all could please wrap up your personal conversations in the next 3 seconds," he announced. "It's time to begin."

He gave his wand a firm flick towards the door to shut it and then turned his gaze towards the students seated in the semi-circle formation.

"Welcome to Astronomy. Terribly sorry about the delay. I will have a word with the house elves to make sure this mix up does not happen again," he began. "For those of you who do not know me, I am Professor Flamsteed, but you may call me Professor Airey if it suits you better, but never sir." Just to get all of that out of the way. "The first thing I would like you to do is to make your name appear on these name tags," he instructed with a flick of his wand to make some very special name tags appear on each student's desk. "All you need to do is give it a firm tap with your wand and speak your name loud and clearly. The name will appear in gold lettering exactly as you say it."

And there was NO way that the spell could go wrong - no blowing up the name tag or anything of that sort.

"Please place it on your robes when you are done. And while you do that, I want to think over the following - what does the term astronomy mean to you and why do we study it. Besides it being a required course for first through fifth years that is. When you have your answer please raise your hand and share it with the rest of the class."

Questions he had not used to start a lesson for in quite a while now, but fitting given the...theme of the term.

OOC: class will resume in approximately 24 hours from the time of this post

Please do not post your character arriving late unless you are ready to deal with whatever IC consequences Professor Flamsteed sees fit.

pffffft. Gryffindor common room is SO not like a hospital XD

Okay. Now this was weird. Really weird. But then he spotted Professor Flamsteed and gave the man a small smile. WAS HE READING A COMIC BOOK!?!?! Yes, yes there was a sparkle in Zander's eye. A gleaaaam if you will. Leaning forward he did his best to make out the picture on the front cover and.... "What kind of superhero is that?" That wasn't superman? Or spiderman? Or batman? Or... Was that even a super hero? Of course Flailsteed wouldn't even read the conventional good comics. Only the best ones! "And oh-uh-ahem Hi Professor," Could more people show up please? This was uncomfortable. Turning the page of his book, the astronomer looked up when he saw Mr. Adair entered...first? Well, this was an unexpected surprise. Clearly a testament to the fact that the fourth year clearly did not see him as Medea accomplice to, well, to anything. "Good day, Mr. Adair," he greeted with a cheeky smile. "Superhero? Well, I suppose you could call them intergalactic superheroes..." Because really, what defined someone as a superhero anyway? To himself growing up, Spock had been a superhero and he didn't even wear a cape. "Explorers is perhaps a better term, however." Quote: Originally Posted by Squishy Lux was excited as she made her way to the first Astronomy lesson of the term.

Beaming, she waved at Professor Flamsteed but then noticed that he was engrossed in a comic book. Huh. "Hello, Professor. I hope you had a good summer." There, that should get his attention. Looking up again, he smiled to the Hufflepuff as she entered. "Good day, Miss Carrington. It was quite pleasant, thank you for asking. Save for the basilisk that is." Quote: Originally Posted by Hera "Hi Professor Airey!" the Gryffindor greeted brightly, stepping into the warm light and pausing there. WHOOOAAAAAAA! THIS PLACE WAS COOL BEANS! "What... what are those for?" he asked staring at the small metal spherical structure and the LARGER one too. Seriously. WHAT WERE THEY?! Could they climb them? Swing from them? Ride them? ... Hhhhmmm? "Can I touch it?" "Hello, Mr. Rogers," he smiled at the Gryffindor. And no, the Sir or Knight or Lord or whatever name it was that Sir Nicholas had planted into the first year's head was not going to stick. Following the boy's gaze, the astronomer chuckled before answering. "You must be referring to the armillary sphere. It is a a very old tool used to model of objects in the sky and their movements, but we will not be using it today." Quote: Originally Posted by SlytherinSistah It was highly unusual for Cutty Mordaunt to greet his teachers.

For the sensitive spy that could tell his mother of his bad behaviour and for the lanky astronomer, who'd already gone above and beyond in terms of proving useful and intelligent to the boy. Besides, Professor Flamsteed was an alien. And if he should tell the mothership to blow the planet sky high, Cutty was hoping to likewise be made the exception to the kablooey of it all. "Good evening, Professor Flamsteed." He greeted the Astronomer lint-free and clean and with well-fitting robes this time around. He then found a seat that he thought ideally perched for his purposes. Airey gave a quick cursory glance over his shoulder at the afternoon sky. Mr. Mordaunt must be working a bit too hard on his new entrepreneuring ways and lost track of the time. Airey still needed to make his contribution to the cause...perhaps after the lesson. "Hello, Mr. Mordaunt. Quite the little notice you have up on the student bulletin board," he said with a salute. Mostly to let the boy know that he had, in fact, seen it and to hint at the fact that he would seek out the Slytherin's services later. Quote: Originally Posted by Harry174 Angel walked towards the Astronomy lesson, she was totally looking forwards to it. She stopped at the lint roller and used it. She had no idea why the Professor wanted them to use it but he was cool and she would do what he said. Angel walked into the room with a big smile on her face. "Morning Professor" Angel was in a very happy mood. "How are you today?" Angel then saw that the Professor was reading a comic book. "Sir my favourite comic book character has to be the hulk, I just love what he does." Angel beamed seriously the green monster was amazing. Angel then went and sat down in her seat and waited for the lesson to start, she could have talked all day about comic books but she didn't want to get into trouble. And this one had perhaps just woken up from a nap. At least she was in much better spirits than he had seen her previously. Teenagers, about as predictable as, well....as a year at Hogwarts maybe. Or the weather. You look for all signs that point to rain, find it, and end up getting a blizzard or heat wave instead. "Afternoon, Miss Valentine," he greeted the young Gryffindor. "I'm doing well, and you seem to be doing much better as well." Again, stellar to see. Seriously. "The Hulk is a fascinating read to be sure, but not my favorite." Quote: Originally Posted by Saz Hale Abby entered the astronomy lesson and said "Evening professor" Abby took a seat and waited for the lesson to start Sisterly nap time? He could hope at least. Would mean the teenage angst had passed. "Afternoon, Miss Valentine." The other Valentine that really should have apologized for her actions. Ahem. Quote: Originally Posted by GrapehSarah ... She entered the room and gave him a smile. "Evening professor." She looked at what he was holding. "Whatcha reading?" She wanted to know. It was more of a nosey thing than curiosity though. ... "Good to see you again, Miss Samson," he smiled at the first year before giving the cover of his comic a quick glance. "Just the first issue of one of my favorite little comic books series I grabbed off the shelf in my office." It wasn't his favorite FAVORITE issue, but it did well enough to pass the time while the house elves were working away. Quote: Originally Posted by SilverTiger ... The sight of the professor up at his desk with a comic book made her eye him, too. Of course, she hadn’t missed him at the feast either, and her opinion of him wasn’t exactly getting better. Not that the tiny redhead was planning on him knowing that. “Good afternoon professor,” she said, not long after one of the other firsties she remembered at the boats had stopped almost directly in front of her and making her skirt around him. She wanted to find her seat before anyone else stole it from her. Curiosity about the things in the room could wait, not that she had any. "Afternoon," he greeted the Slytherin. He then nearly facepalmed at the sudden reminder that he had not, again, placed name tags out on the desks for students to fill out . Or, well, not exactly fill out this term. He had a little something special planned than the standard paper or sticker name tags. Heh. He would conjure them up here in a minute or two. Quote: Originally Posted by nanyjj ... She walked towards the table outside the classroom, picked up the lint roller and used it on her robes. Leah was familiar with the rules by now and considered the rolling part of the lesson itself. She scanned the classroom, noticing Professor Flamsteed quickly. Ooh, a comic book. "Hello, Professor Flamsteed." She greeted with a smile. ... "Afternoon, Miss Abbott," he saluted the third year. "Can I expect to see you tearing up the board with gobstones again this term?" A question asked partially out of genuine interest (because she was quite fascinating to watch in action. Such a natural talent for the game) and partially because, well, she was stiff competition. Needed to train his Gryffindors up! Quote: Originally Posted by Lislchen ... Upon entering she sent a polite grin to the professor...until realizing who he was. Right. He was the one who didn't like glitter - at least according to Kyroh. Famsteel. Right. Her expression hardened a bit and she swiftly made her way over to an empty desk. She wasn't going to sit with any of the losers that had arrived before her. No, thank you. ... Airey returned the smile to the first year, old to have her face suddenly turn sour. What? Was his smile not acceptable? Did he have some spinach stuck between his teeth? He was tempted to conjure a mirror and look, but settled instead for running his tongue over the front of his teeth. Nope, didn't feel anything... Quote: Originally Posted by affy7ann ... She said nothing more as she waited for class to begin, but hoped the girl would introduce herself - if not before class, then after. Sapphire wanted to make new friends. Airey subtly waved to the newcomer...whose last name was going to be the tongue twister of the century. Which was partly why he did not greet her out loud. He was fairly positive he could not pronounce it yet. Quote: Originally Posted by Meizzner ... So this was Flamsteed's class. Pretty cool. "Hey, Professor Flamsteed. Stellar day isn't it?" Though maybe he was into his comic book to much to notice. Looked like he was really into it. Though maybe he should tell him he finally found the Room of Requirements and that awesome skate park he thought up in his head. Now to sit and hope he learns something interesting. "More than you know, Mr. Barrington. More than you know," he winked at the Slytherin. "I trust you have had no more problems finding the Room of Requirement now, yes?" Quote: Originally Posted by PhoenixStar It was time for her first Astronomy lesson of the year, and AJ couldn't wait to see what fun activities the professor had up his sleeve today. Before entering all the way in the classroom she rolled herself down with the lint roller. Not that she had a cat or anything that would make her hairy, but whatever. Both of her sisters were there, and AJ decided to sit by Angel. Abby still wasn't completely forgiven for all of the mess she started with Angel, and certainly not for slapping her. "Hey Angel." AJ was beaming. Could her sister tell? Oh sweet solstice they were all three in the same room. No teenage angst during the lesson, ladies. Okay? Quote: Originally Posted by SpiritWolfe Malfoy ... Smiling softly Hady stepped into the classroom her eyes scanning over thing with an excited grin. "Hello Professor." Hady greeted softly as she found herself a seat near the front of the room. One might find it odd how she always sat up front but really her main reason was...she was tiny for her age. If she wasn't close she wouldn't see what was happening. ... "Good day and welcome to Astronomy," he saluted the first year as she made her way towards her seat. Quote: Originally Posted by FearlessLeader19 Adi didn't think this grin had left his face for one moment (except when he slept) ever since that day at the Bridge. Who would have thought it possible to be happier? After using the lint roller, he slipped into the classroom and immediately greeted the Professor. "Hallo, Professor. Hope all's well with you.'' Time to find his friends, yes? Adi glanced around the room. Oh hey there, Zander, Lux, Leah and Cutty! The four of them got a wave each. His eyes found the Valentine sisters but he made his way towards AJ and Angel. "Hey, guys,'' he greeted, choosing a seat next to the girlfriend and giving her a hair a gentle tug. Someone was looking especially happy today. Airey threw the prefect a salute and was about to both greet and congratulate him on his new badge when he saw THAT happen. Sweet solstice why. Gossip spread through this school at warp speed so why hadn't his distaste for...THAT not spread as well? Miss (Angel) Valentine had learned her lesson about hair tugging, apparently others needed to as well. "There will be NO hair pulling in this classroom," he said, eyes all on the Hufflepuff prefect. NONE, OKAY, NONE! "Next time there will be points deducted." Or detention. It would depend on his mood. Quote: Originally Posted by AmbiguouslyMe ... Bounding into the classroom, he smiled. "Hi Professor," he said with a wave. The man had been so nice to him about the whole heavy bag situation. He still meant to ask him about his telescope at home, though. Perhaps after class. ... "Good day to you, Mr. Baines," he saluted the first year. Had the young man gotten a better grasp of the charm yet? Airey could only hope so. That...and that the little Ravenclaw hadn't found his books flung all over the corridor floors again. Quote: Originally Posted by Daydreamer11 Jasmine arrived for Astronomy class to find the class pretty full already. She made sure to stop and de-lint herself before she entered the classroom. When she was properly lint free, Jasmine walked in and headed for the first empty desk. Seeing Professor Flamsteed, she said, "Hello Professor". ... "Hello, Miss Guidry, congratulations to you," he said, saluting her and then pointing towards the badge pinned to her robes. It suit her, especially after the way she always assisted Miss Wright during his lessons. Airey honestly couldn't handle the tears. Quote: Originally Posted by Felixir ... "Afternoon, Professor Airey," the Hufflepuff greeted with his usual smile, as he got comfortable at his seat and took his parchment, quill and ink from his bag. And... that was it. No more talking, no bouncing, no fidgeting, no nothing. He just sat there quietly and patiently, with his elbow on his desk and head resting on his hand. It MIGHT have seemed a little concerning if you knew Tobias Tempus well, unless you saw that little smile was lingering on his face as he wrote down his name, the date, and 'Astronomy' at the top of his parchment. Airey offered Mr. Tempus a salute and wide grin as he entered. "Afternoon, Mr. Tempus," he greeted before being taken aback a little by how...un-pogo-like the fifth year was. Although he did not want to draw attention to this change in behavior - no one liked being called out for acting a bit out of the perceived ordinary - so he instead continued to grin at the young man. "I hope you still have room in your busy schedule to teach me a new pogo trick or two this term." Now that his back wasn't all old man like. Quote: Originally Posted by kayquilz ...

It was already starting to grumble... Looking up, she FINALLY spotted the comic in the man's hand--OHehfhfiuwhWHIRGH EDEN SQUEALED. And then noticed that she had done so...Right. Right right. That was embarrassing. She hid her face and just tried not to bring any MORE attention to herself. THough. She would like to tell Professor Flamsteed that Star Wars was CLEARLY better...she wouldn't. His attention back on his comic book, for a very brief moment, his head snapped right back upwards when he heard the squeal and followed the sound until he spotted just who said sound was coming from. A Ravenclaw. Of course. He wiggled the comic book in her direction as a greeting. And she could try to tell him that, but she would be wrong. On so very wrong. Quote: Originally Posted by TakemetotheBurrow ... After de-linting herself and NOT her hair, the brunette made her way confidently into the classroom. "Hey Professor, didn't know you read comics!" Was Kyroh aware of this information? He SHOULD be. Dima too. They could discuss later, yeah? At the place where things were discussed. Ahem. ... "What makes you say that, Miss Cooper?" he asked with the slightest of eyebrow raises. What made a person the sort to read comics or not read? His curiosity was certainly tickled right now. Quote: Originally Posted by DaniDiNardo ... "Don't reckon that's a manual on explosions...huh Professor" That officially doubled as a 'hello' as the Gryffindor stared on curiously. It didn't look very informative on the subject but then what would she know? She'd never read a book on explosions. Practicality was her order of the day. She threw herself into her seat but her attention stayed locked on the seemingly distracted Professor. Airey gave his comic book another glance and laughed. "In an abstract way, I suppose you could say that it is a manual," he mused. After all, there was a bit of science behind what happened within the Star Trek universe - as fictional as it was or not. "But don't you worry, you will have your explosions today just as I promised Miss Cambridge." And after a bit of discussion and lead in, of course. Quote: Originally Posted by Lockhartian ... The lint roller could only remind her of one person, so she didn't even EYE it. No need, her uniform was as clean as Airey's suit. She could trust him to have the cleanest suits ever, hopefully. What she did eye was the book he was holding. Comic book, interesting. The cover was what caught her attention. "Good afternoon, Professor!" BEAM! Late afternoon, but afternoon nonetheless. "Star Trek, I see." Wink. ... "Afternoon, Miss Wisteria," he saluted, nearly calling her Number One considering the text in his hand. He simply winked at her next comment. Star Trek. Of course. Quote: Originally Posted by AlwaysSnapesGirl ... "'Sup, Professor," he said with a nod in greeting before heading to a seat. "Afternoon, Mr. Hensley ~~the third~~," he nodded towards the Gryffindor. "I would prefer that all greetings using the term 'sup' be reserved for outside of the classroom." Just so it remained with an air of relaxed professionalism. Quote: Originally Posted by WeasleyGirl ... And there he was, the professor. They had met before in the innovation lounge. "Hello professor" whose last name sounded like flame and steel. The first year sat down and waited for the lesson to start. Hugo was going to be watching you, professor. He remembered how he had told him his classes were fun and it better be true. "Hello again, Mr. Foster," he saluted the Slytherin as he entered. No pressure on the astronut to deliver a fun lesson or anything. WAH. Quote: Originally Posted by Kaos.Doodles ... Slipping into the class Kyroh grabbed the lint roller and ran it over his arms, then paused and ran it over his upper lip as well. He had to keep his mustache area lint free after all. "Hullo Professor!" He waved at the man before stopping right in his tracks. COMIC BOOK? Squinting to read the tittle he quickly understood. "Are you reading that to boldly go where no man has gone before sir? 'Cause other guys may have read it." He paused. "Women too." Just saying. Plopping down at the first seat he spotting - which just so happened to be next to the Headgirl herself - Kyroh wiggled his fingers at his friends. HI MADDIE AND ZANDER AND TOBY AND DANTE AND MAGDALENA (she was his friend right? If not she still got a wave) "Hello, Mr. Scabior," he said to the Ravenclaw, eyes once again glancing at the comic book. "You bring up an excellent little tid bit of history. Excellent indeed. You see, the Captain's Oath you quoted just now went through a slight revision two decades after the original to be more inclusive." And he always suspected that a certain Captain's actor was an advocate for this. "So it now is 'where no one has gone before.' Excellent observation and inclusive thinking, Mr. Scabior." Quote: Originally Posted by Sararara Norah skipped excitedly into the classroom, excited for the lesson. Astronomy lessons had the tendency to be supermegacool, yep. She stopped short upon entering the classroom. It was so...clean. Woah. Looking around, she spotted Professor Flamsteed and gave him a wave and a bright "Hello!" She picked a seat and slid into it before taking her materials out of her bad. Hopefully she wouldn't need them, because that was always more fun. "Good day, Miss Kittredge," he saluted the Hufflepuff. Quote: Originally Posted by PhoenixStar How could you completely forget to greet the professor? Apparently it was a very easy thing to do when your mind was distracted with thoughts about a certain someone. "Hello, professor," she said rather lamely from her desk. It counted though. It totally counted. Just as she was waiting to see if Angel recognized anything different with her, they were joined by none other that her current distraction. ... Yes, how COULD you!? "Hello, Miss Valentine," he smiled. Even if it was delayed. Quote: Originally Posted by swaEEtt ... Hallie walked cooly into the classroom with the gait of an old Hollywood star.

She offered him the polite kind of smile that you give to adults and authority figures before turing and trying to locate the best vantage point to sit. ... Another one who had lost track of the time? No matter, they soon all would lose time as the lesson went on. Time was such a fickle thing. "Hello, Miss Aldrich." Quote: Originally Posted by hermionesclone ... ............... okay no THAT wasn't weird. "Are you a Trekkie, Professor?" What? He had to ask. It was better than his OTHER question: whether everyone was going to get the chance to read some comic books. Grayson would be all up for THAT. "Hello, Professor." ... "Surely that is a rhetorical question, Mr. Whitlock," Airey said, snorting back his laughter. No, seriously. That was a rhetorical question, yeah? Quote: Originally Posted by Expecto-Penguin Time for Astronomy! This was one of his favorite classes to be in. He loved the idea of learning about the stars and plus the activities were always fun. As he entered the classroom, he realized he wasn't the only one here. He noticed a few students beat him here. He smiled and as he was gonna walk to his desk, he saw the comic book the professor was holding. It reminded him of the star trek handkerchief he used to help stop his bloody nose that one lesson. He smiled and commented on it, "Nice comic book you got there Professor...." As he said his hello, he went to go look for his desk. He saw an empty one near the window and grabbed it. He put his bag down and got out his famous sketchbook and did his doodles. "Thank you, Mr. Lecium," he beamed at the young man. "Although nice is a bit of an understatement. Took me ages to track this issue down in its original condition." And now had had a mountain of charms placed on it to ensure that no damage could come to it. Like the rest of his vintage comic collection. Quote: Originally Posted by nicole black ....

She put down her things and crossed her long legs, one over the other, enjoying the freedom her pants had afforded her. It was another rule she didn't mind, and actually Justine was beginning to think she might start wearing pants over her skirt all the time. "Afternoon, again, Miss Janvier," he nodded towards her. "Indeed. I will have to double and triple check their cleaning schedule to ensure this does not happen again." And then he went on to grumble again somethings about NASA and time efficiency before settling back into his comic book. Quote: Originally Posted by carpediem ... And also, she was shedding.

Picking another long strand from her clothes and tossing it casually without a second glance, 'Ophie rolled her deep brown eyes at her random hair loss. It ran in the family, hair coming out. But everyone kept their hair for really long, so that was good. Her Grandmother still had hair and she was like seventy. Also, Professor. He had to be greeted, yes? It was what everyone else was doing. So yes. That was something that probably should be done. "Hello, Professor. Cool comic!" the shorty was a bit of a nerd about old things, and this looked as vintage as they came. Sweet. DID SHE JUST!? NOOOOOOOOOO! Leaping into action, because he had actually seen the hair being tossed away just now, he removed his own personal lint roller from his enchanted breast pocket and rolled it over the ground right where the Ravenclaw had oh-so-casually tossed it aside. Ahem. "Hello," he greeted upwards from the floor. "Thank you." And then he returned to his desk to lean against it like nothing had happened at all.

"One of my many Star Trek comics." He then held it out a bit closer towards the boy so he could see better. Although he ought to put it away soon as the classroom was beginning to fill up properly.

"Good evening, Professor," he greeted politely as he noticed the man while moving furth inside to find a seat. ... "Afternoon, Mr. Atreyu," he saluted the boy. "Do me a favor and keep that lot in check, yeah?" He was half joking, as the smile dictated, half not. But since the Gryffindor had done a fine job of it at the feast, the astronomer figured he could call upon the boy's services again. Quote: Originally Posted by Star-Lord Oh, look.

Eyes darting from side to side, he found one next to Bay. Might as well sit with someone he knew, even if it was a bit brief on the train. Sliding into the seat, he gave him a small nudge and smiled. "Hope you don't mind me sitting here," Because Jun was fun to sit next to. Yup. BOY TOY! Or no, not the boy toy. Although that would forever be a word associated with the Ravenclaw, Head Boy or not.

Scanning the room, she didn't see friends or boyfriend yet, so she sat in a random seat and started taking her notebook and quill out of her bag.

Yes her dad was an athlete but he could be a bit of a nerd too. "Hello, professor!" She gave him a beamy face and took off to join Kace, Bay and Lux. Beaming at them she sit down with them. Airey gave the Gryffindor a salute as well, since his hand was already up there against his forehead to do so. "Good day, Miss Bayless."

Star Trek was always great, especially the old stuff. ... Ah yes, the Gryffindor that Sir Nicholas would not stop talking about. Although Airey couldn't quite figure out why. The ghost was just always mentioned how considerate the boy was. "Hello, Mr. Jones," he grinned at the sixth year. "It is a STELLAR read." Quote: Originally Posted by Awarlesta Black Declan squinted at comic book that the professor was so engrossed in while he passed the lint roller over his robes. Pfffft... Star Trek. PUH-LEESE. It was all about Star Wars, prof. Even then, Dec preferred superhero comics. Who's his favorite superhero, you ask? (Nobody asked.) Well, he'll still tell you. .... Nope. WRONG. Airey gave the Hufflepuff a small nod for a greeting before checking his sundial watch. Yes, he had waiting just about long enough to really get the show on the road. Just another minute or two... Quote: Originally Posted by Cassirin ... "Picard is better. Sir." And then she scamapered off to take the seat next to Kyroh. Hi, Freckle-friend. Airey's eyes lit up like a firework at the first year's words. "I couldn't agree more!" he BEAMED as he closed the comic book and set it down on his desk. Could he give the Slytherin 200 points for her keen intuition and excellent judge of character? Yes? Probably not. Oh well, the thought was there. Quote: Originally Posted by Tattie ...

The second was the Professor; he appeared to be reading a comic while leaning on his desk. "Hello, Professor," she called, then added, "interesting set up you've got." She didn't know why exactly she said it, but she did ... maybe to comfort herself or something? Who knew. Anyway ... on to the task of finding somewhere to sit. "Good day," he greeted the Ravenclaw, eyes still a little wild with excitement from the first year's words. "I am glad that you find my classroom aesthetically pleasing." He also found the semi circle to make it easier for people to focus. Harder to hid this way. Quote: Originally Posted by iBeJenn ... She entered the classroom and beamed. "Yo Professor! Are you reading Naruto?" And if he wasn't why not cause Bianca would read that. "'Sup fellow classmates," she added, wiggling her fingers in greeting to the others in the class. No she did not know most of you and no she didn't care that she didn't know who any of you were except oh hey look there was an EDEN. ... Airey shook his head playfully. "You could do with just a hint more formality, Miss Caruso, and save the 'yo's' for outside of the classroom." He had no idea what Naruto was, so he didn't even know how to respond to that.

She always sat with Tobes in Astronomy, y'know? ... "Afternoon, Miss Brown," he smiled at the Ravenclaw as she entered. Always an unexpected joy in his classroom whenever she opened her mouth to speak. And yes, he HAD noticed Quote: Originally Posted by ChanceCoeur Chance was not feeling Astonomy.

Can you tell that he really didnt want to be here? But alas, he was. And, he was even willing to learn. So there! He was prepared with all the mandatory items that Professor F wanted them to bring. Including, full uniform. So let's go! Get this class started! "Good day, Mr. Coeur," he saluted towards the Gryffindor. Or maybe it wasn't such a good day for the boy. It looked as though he was wearing shoes made out of lead or something heavier. Quote: Originally Posted by Lottiepot ...

Airey simply nodded his head towards the Ravenclaw as she entered the room, offering her a quick salute when they were able to make brief eye contact. He then checked his sundial watch again and gave it a few firm taps with his index finger. Counting down from 30... 29... 28.... Quote: Originally Posted by Yaya ... Well...well...well..."Hola...I mean," Ugh, when was she actually going to remember that she was to speak English at all times? "Hello, Professor Flamsteed." She rephrased, looking at the comic book he was reading. Sure, Star Trek. Maybe it was one of the things she still had to get into, besides Star Wars, that could actually come in handy someday. ... ...27 ...26 HE KNEW THAT WORD, for the record. And that was about the extent of his Spanish. Russian on the other hand... "Hello, Miss Robles," he replied to the sixth year. Quote: Originally Posted by Deezerz ...

"Good day to you as well, Miss Wayne," he beamed at the fifth year. OWLs this year, his smile changed to a compassionate one. Those could be tough, but he would make sure that she did well on her Astronomy one if none of the others. Not that she really needed the extra push, she was doing quite well. ...15 ...14 Quote: Originally Posted by Optimist ... Her eyes widened as she saw spotted the comic book. She had read that.

"my favorite creatures are the Tribbles" she half whispered as she made her way fully de-linted into the room. He wasn't sure if Miss Greyvson meant for those comments to be directed at him or not, considering that she was muttering under her breath and all that, so he instead flashed her two quick thumbs up just to let her know that he had overheard. If he was supposed to that is. If not then...she did not see him give her the thumbs up. ...10 ...9 Quote: Originally Posted by lazykitty ... Freshly lint rolled, Heather stepped into the classroom and found a seat, offering up a "Hello, professor," on her way. Ready to learn about planets now. "Hello," he nodded towards the young lady. Yet another last name that was, well, it was long. So, yes, just the cheerful hello for the time being. ...8 ...7 Quote: Originally Posted by lemon ...

Kyroh and Dot were sitting together, which meant he had to pick one of them to sit beside because squishing between them was rude. A familiar pang of jealousy coursed through him, and Dima did the only reasonable thing to do. ... Airey returned the cheery wave to the Ravenclaw, completely and blissfully oblivious to the slight internal angst over seating that took place shortly after. ...4 ...3 *** ...2 ...1 Checking his sundial watch one last time, he took a few dramatic steps away from his desk and held both of his arms up. "Alright, if you all could please wrap up your personal conversations in the next 3 seconds," he announced. "It's time to begin." He gave his wand a firm flick towards the door to shut it and then turned his gaze towards the students seated in the semi-circle formation. "Welcome to Astronomy. Terribly sorry about the delay. I will have a word with the house elves to make sure this mix up does not happen again," he began. "For those of you who do not know me, I am Professor Flamsteed, but you may call me Professor Airey if it suits you better, but never sir." Just to get all of that out of the way. "The first thing I would like you to do is to make your name appear on these name tags," he instructed with a flick of his wand to make some very special name tags appear on each student's desk. "All you need to do is give it a firm tap with your wand and speak your name loud and clearly. The name will appear in gold lettering exactly as you say it.*" And there was NO way that the spell could go wrong - no blowing up the name tag or anything of that sort. "Please place it on your robes when you are done. And while you do that, I want to think over the following - what does the term astronomy mean to you and why do we study it. Besides it being a required course for first through fifth years that is. When you have your answer please raise your hand and share it with the rest of the class." Questions he had not used to start a lesson for in quite a while now, but fitting given the...theme of the term. OOC: class will resume in approximately 24 hours from the time of this post Please do not post your character arriving late unless you are ready to deal with whatever IC consequences Professor Flamsteed sees fit. pffffft. Gryffindor common room is SO not like a hospital XD __________________ When you're stuck in a moment and your spark has been stolen .................................................. ........... this is our time to own it, so own it..................................... baby we were born with* fire and gold in our eyes
