Adjusting his tie just a bit, Airey began to go over his mental checklist of everything he had packed in his backpack before moving on to what he, personally, hoped to accomplish this trip to the National Space Centre. He had just been there over the summer to help set up for the particular exhibition - all part of his duties as Astronomer Royal - and while he was bound to get a bit chocked up given the subject matter...he was more giddy than sad. Getting to relive your childhood dream for the day wasn't something to get all depressed over.

He couldn't be positive, but something was informing him that he needed to be very careful with his phrasing. And Merlin help him if the professor only ended up encouraging them to remove the boy from Hogwarts.
He also gave the boy's attire two thumbs up. Very professional looking. This astronut approved.
And the boy's permission slip went on to his desk.

Taking Miss Guidry's permission slip and setting it on top of Mr. Baines, he smiled the prefect and then instantly wondered where Miss Wright was. More often than not, it had been the seventh year who had looked after the younger Claw...and that service would most likely be needed again today. "Excellent, Miss Guidry. I certainly hope you find it informative."

After handing him the permission slip that she had labeled Astronomy field trip permission slip, National Space Centre, 7 March 2085, Penelope turned her attention to the words on the chalkboard. Grabbing a pamphlet and her envelope, she spotted Thornton at the edge of the room. She walked over to where the first year was. "Good morning, Thornton! Are you looking forward to the trip?" Speaking of the fragile Ravenclaw...
"Good morning, Miss Wright," he beamed at the girl as he took the permission slip and set it on top of the rest. Yes yes, more excitement. Stellar to see! He noted that she headed towards Mr. Baines and felt a small sense of relief. He was a responsible young man, so between him and Miss Guidry the second year ought to survive the trip.

It was probably for the best that the astronomer had not seen the way Miss Wojack had rid the castle of an 8-legged freak just now. While not a man particularly fond of bugs and anything that crawled...it was also not the proper use of a lint rollers.
But he hadn't seen...and instead had the pleasure of dealing with what he could only assume was a threat from this Oggie person. "I am flattered this...Oggie is willing to spend upwards of 18,000,000 pounds on little old me," he chuckled. Space tourism was rather expensive, you know? Which meant that it would be more of a reward to allow something to happen to the young Slytherin - rolling with his dry sense of humor that is. "I hope you enjoy the trip today, Miss Wojack."

Not the usual spunky greeting he was used to, but he could only assume that seventh year-itis was setting in. Hopefully she could keep herself motivated through her NEWTs at least.

"Hi, Professor! I'm sooo excited for the field trip! Nice suit, by the way." Could he SEEEE how excited she was? She bounced a few times just to make sure he was totally clear on her excitement, and then picked up her envelope and pamphlet. The Hufflepuff squinted at it. That was her name, right? Professor Flamsteed's handwriting was almost as bad as hers...almost.
... But THERE was some enthusiasm!
"Hello, Miss Kittredge! Stellar to see you are eager to start this little adventure." In fact, he mimicked her bouncing in place with some of his own as he set her permission slip on top of the others.

Beautiful day for a field trip," she said as she pulled her permission slip out and set it with the others, before grabbing a pamphlet and envelope. Placing them in her satchel, she made her way toward the middle of the classroom. "It is indeed, Miss Jamieson," he saluted the Ravenclaw while taking her permission slip. So far so good. No one had forgotten their permission slips just yet and therefore forced him into an incredibly awkward situation.

Snappy looking suit there, sir. he handed in his permission slip and then gathered up his envelope. He walked into a blank spot and waited to leave. "Good day, Mr. Tinker," he beamed at the Hufflepuff. Did he really need to respond to the suit comment? He just grinned a bit wider instead.

She went and joined the group. "Hello, Miss McAlistor," he greeted while taking her permission slip and adding it to the others.

"Good day, Miss Montgomery," he smiled to the Ravenclaw. Her slip now with the others, he had to wonder if she had given any further thought to the little nugget of advice he had given her earlier on in the term. "I think you'll find that certain scenes of that comic book you made me may come to life today."
Cue a small amused smirk.

Toby looked up again and smiled at the professor before moving off out of the way and finding a place to just... stand. "Thank you, Mr. Tempus," he grinned at the Hufflepuff. No, Mr. Tempus was MUCH more than a Hufflepuff now. He was...the boy was....he was... a Stellarpuff. Yes. That would have to do for now. Or perhaps Stellapuff to help the two words blend together more fluidly.

"..." She offered him a crooked smile and started to turn away without saying anything at all, but she thought better of it and spoke up, "Happy... day." She squinted, a little baffled by the choice of words that had just crossed her lips, and added in an attempt to smooth things over, "...Right-o." She did a little snapping finger-point with her hand. "Stellar."
...And she moved to go stand by Tobes. Oooooo......................kay?
Airey found himself just blinking at Miss Brown's sudden change in behavior. Was it the thought of traveling by portkey that had her in a bit of a rut? It could be quite daunting if one had never traveled by it before. Actually...he probably should have told them not to eat breakfast before class and instead pack a small one to bring with them. He didn't imagine that the National Space Centre would appreciate a bunch of teenagers regurgitating their meals all over the pavement around back. Well, once the janitorial staff stumbled upon the mess anyway. No one would be present when they eventually landed.
"A happy day it is, Miss Brown!" he said with a bit more enthusiasm than the others. Mostly in the fleeting hope that some of his own gusto would transfer to her.
Was she feeling alright? Should they send for the Healer? He checked his sundial watch. Maybe not. Not enough time for that.

"Hello, Professor!" she said happily as she handed him her permission slip before taking an envelope and pamphlet. This was going to be so awesome. Spotting Jasmine, Lux walked over to her friend. "Hey!" Hand back in his suit jacket's pocket, he smiled to the Hufflepuff as he accepted her slip. "Hello, Miss Carrington."

"By the way, this is awesome, Professor," Zeke added enthusiastically with two thumbs up, before moving away and joining his peers.
... "Thank you, Mr. Ze ---" he beamed as he took the permission slip, only to stop mid-name when he saw just WHO had signed it. Of course, he should have been completely aware of this fact already given that he was the boy's Head of House, but it had gleefully slipped his mind that he was currently responsible for the child of the Department Head of Magical Law Enforcement. "----ke."
Let's make sure that slip was niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice and flat. Ahem.

"Here you go Professor." Angel smiled as she handed him the Permission slip, she wondered where they were going. She then gather up her pamphlet and the envelope. "Thank you, Miss Valentine," he said to the Gryffindor while taking her permission slip. Something in her eyes made him a bit uneasy. Sweet solstice. Was portkey travel really THAT terrifying?

Hopefully that meant things were back to normal. “Good morning, Professor Flamsteed,” she said sweetly, exchanging her permission slip for one of the pamphlets and the envelope with her name on it. She’d looked curiously at that, but didn’t open it. She’d find out what that was eventually. Now all that was left was waiting for them to leave. Portkeys were new to her. She’d always dome side-along apparition with her parents, when they hadn’t used Muggle transportation. She preferred the apparition since it meant she was more special. Another permission slip added to the stack, he offered the Slytherin a faint smile before speaking. "Good morning to you as well, Miss Andrews."

Checking out the board behind the Professor she read over what it said before collecting a pamphlet and an envelop with her name.
Hady walked to a seat and sat down while she waited for the next instructions or someone to talk to. Whichever came first really. "Excellent, thank you Miss Lynch," he beamed while accepting the permision slip. "I hope you enjoy yourself today."

More paperwork for the field trip, he supposed, or homework. Looking for his friends in the closed-off classroom, he spotted Angel and moved to stand beside his girlfriend. "Hey..." "Good day, Mr. Atreyu," he saluted the Gryffindor. "I know I have already said this to you before, but stellar performance once again this term with Gobstones."

Flipping back her hair, Justine approached the nervous seeming Professor and handed him her slip. *Good Morning, Professor. I'm really looking forvard to zis field trip," What, why had she done the accent? She hadn't meant to, it had just happened. Weird.
... Accent whiplash alert. What?
"Thank you, Miss Janvier," he said as he took her slip, eyebrow raised curiously at the Ravenclaw. "Stellar to hear it."

... "Hello, HELLO, Mr. Rehman," he beamed at the prefect. "Thank you. I'll take that." And another permission slip to the pile.

SHE WAS EXCITED. YES YES YES. And maybe bouncing a bit. Thorny. Ha. HAHAHAHA.
Ahem.
"Good morning, Miss McGee," he grinned as he used her permission slip to salute her back.
SPOILER!!: Maddilocks Goldison XD Quote:
Originally Posted by TakemetotheBurrow Goldilocks had been hunting through the girl's dorm for new ribbons for her spiraled locks when she came across a permission slip for Maddison Cooper. Boring name, Maddison. Goldilocks wasn't a fan but the promise of an adventure to the National Space Center was enough to make her pocket the slip and make her way to the Astronomy tower on the very day they were meant to go.
After skipping her way to the classroom, the girl was ever so tired and she took a moment to catch her breath. Going to school was even more tiring than picking wild flowers in the forest and that was saying something.
Bending down over the various envelopes, Goldilocks considered her options. That name there? Well it was far too hard to say. Oh and that one?! It was even more boring than Maddison was! It just wouldn't do. She guessed she'd have to settle on the one meant for the girl she'd found the permission slip for even though her name had so much more gusto.
"Oh how I wish there was a place for me to rest my feet," She exclaimed, handing over the slip of paper to the man she assumed was in charge. All the chairs being stacked sure posed a problem for her, that much was true. She guessed she'd simply have to go stand with one of the students. And so she did.
"Your permission slip, Miss Cooper," Airey said as he extended his hand towards her. He needed it in his hands to confirm it was more than just a spare piece of parchment, you see. He had tried that as a student for Hogsmeade. Waved a piece of parchment with scribbles on it because he had lost his original. Hadn't worked out so well.

As he approached somewhat early for the class he saw other students were in here too. He wasn't the only one who wanted to arrive early. He looked around for his friends and he saw some and he smiled to them and waved. He looked to the front of the room and saw the professor. "Good morning Professor Airey, nice idea to have a field trip today."
... "Glad you think so, Mr. Lecium," he beamed. "Should be quite the experience for everyone."

So he was back to normal, then? GOOD. Though, Grayson had thoroughly enjoyed watching him tell people to walk the plank for doing silly things. It had been a MUCH better waste of time than actually paying attention to what he had been saying.
"Good morning! Here," he said, holding out the form, "My permission form." Which was all signed and ready to go. And he was just gonna take one of these pamphlets and envelopes, mkay? Airey took the permission slip and set it on top of the stack. "Good morning, Mr. Whitlock." And was it just him, or was the Slytherin a bit more...perky than usual?

She walked up the front of the room "Good morning, Professor Flamsteed! Excited about the field trip." She smiled and handed over the permission slip her dad had signed.
... "Good morning, Miss Bayless," he smiled to the Gryffindor...who seemed to be back to herself again. He was half tempted to ask her about her...experience. To compare. But now was probably not the place to do so.

He didn't want to be watched ALL the time, and Flamsteed wouldn't have to do it if he didn't real his mums words right?
Anywaays.
... Papa...OOOOOOOOOOOH PAPA!
For the second time Airey's throat suddenly ran dry at the name on the parchment - the first being for a Miss Emily Browne. Right. The older Scabior. Mr. Glares-A-Lot. Right. Well, now there were two...er...three parents who would definitely hex him into oblivion should things get messy. Maybe four.
"Thank you, Mr. Scabior," he said, swallowing and taking the permission slip. "No pressure, right?" Heh. Awkward.

Well sort of. She was looking forward to getting out of the castle.
... "Good morning," he beamed, accepting the permission slip eagerly and setting it on top of the stack. "Good to see you, Miss Ackerly." Even if the Ravenclaw wasn't exactly oozing enthusiasm like some of her housemates. Getting out of the castle might do her some good.

Didn't the announcement board say wearing a suit is NOT optional?! As in you HAVE to wear one?! -_________- Merlin, how come this always happened?! A rather unamused Zander walked over to good ol' Professor to hand over his permission slip. "...Uh, Professor, how come no one else is wearing a suit?" he asked (cheeks turning a slight pink) as he handed over the paperwork. WHY? OH! Well, look at this!
"Looking sharp there, Mr. Adair," Airey both saluted and winked at the Gryffindor. Stellar points to you! Which were better than the cool points that he had given out previously. In his brain. And once or twice out loud. "Everyone has a different understanding of what muggle clothing means. At least no one showed up in a flowered nightdress. The late Arthur Weasley was also known to wear a few unique choices of clothing. Not to worry, Mr. Adair. Your attire is perfectly acceptable."

Pamphlet and everything was taken. Of age peeps need no permission slip, didn't anyone tell you, Airey Flamsteed?? Permission slip was pointless, she is of age. Seriously. But it was signed and handed over with the brightest smile possible! "Hello, Professor!" Someone was truly happy to leave this Castle for a bit, can't you tell?
... "Good morning, Miss Wisteria," he beamed with a salute before taking her permission slip. That was one giddy looking Huf....Hogwartian.
Giving his sundial watch another quick glance, the astronomer's eyes widened. "Oh sweet solstice!" he exclaimed as he wiped his brow and scurried towards the front of his desk and picked up the envelope with his own name written on it.
"Alright everyone! Gather around!" he announced while clapping his hands together twice. Just in case, you know, they hadn't heard him. "We have about 15 minutes before our portkeys are scheduled to depart so I will make this brief. First, a few ground rules. We will be leaving the wizarding world and entering the muggle one today. This means ABSOLUTELY NO MAGIC will be allowed. Not even accidental. Keep it in your holster. I do not want to make the Prophet because someone breached the Statute and the Ministry had to get involved...or to have any of you expelled." SO JUST DO NOT DO IT, OKAY!? "This also includes talking loudly about Magic in front of others. I am trusting you all to be on your best behavior so do not let me down."
Seriously. He may have nearly killed students in the past with tainted ice cream...and apparently was on the verge of it as Professor Hooksteed...but expelling someone. Sweet solstice. He would submit his resignation right away.
"We will touch down in a secluded area behind the National Space Centre and move about as a group. Under no circumstances is anyone to wander off on their own. Use the buddy system. And no, you do not need the same buddy the entire time. There is a lot to explore at the Centre."
Alright. Now that that was over.
"Now, I want everyone to check their envelopes for the following items. There should be an entry ticket to the National Space Centre along with one of these," he said as he lifted up a piece of rectangular paper. "This is a piece of muggle money. You are free to use it as you see fit at the Centre to buy something to eat or in the gift shop. We will arrive back at Hogwarts around 1500 hours, so plan accordingly. Now, can anyone tell me approximately how much this is worth in our, wizarding, currency?"
OOC: Thank you all for your patience <3
Class will most likely resume before I go to bed (in approximately 12 ish hours) but may not do so until I get some sleep depending on the activity level (in approximately 20 hours).
Please do not post your character arriving late unless you are ready to deal with whatever IC consequences Professor Flamsteed sees fit. Simply pretend that you have been here all along!
