Airey continued to give Meri-berry side glances and they had absolutely NOTHING to do with the manner in which she wore her hat. Although he was not convinced on the practicality of one wearing a cap backwards. Seemed to be quite counterproductive, really. But then his Gryffindor curiosity go the better of him and he HAD to ask. "So...Meri-berry," he said upon clearing his throat just as students began filtering into the room. "Blackholes?"

Because that was clearly enough to jog her memory, yes?

Offering the appropriate "good mornings" and "live long and prospers" to students as they entered, he felt the need to tack on just a bit to the conversation between Miss Wojack-Gusey and his colleague. "As long as these embellishments do not hinder your ability to participate today." They were here for an education, not a fashion show.

"Stellar to hear, Mr. Salander," the astronomer grinned at the young man. At least there were some that appreciated the uniforms for what they were and shared in the professor's delight.

And then Ravenclaws happened.

..................

Sweet solstice why was it ALWAYS the Ravenclaws in his classroom? WHY? Not just that...but Ravenclaw females.

Merlin help him.

"Actually, Miss Greingoth, that would be quite helpful," he nodded to the first year as he, somewhat reluctantly, handed over his precious pet rock so he could make his way over to Miss Denaker and Miss Watson. "I agree with Prefect Wright and the Headmistress," the astronomer nodded. Flying weasels? What even did that MEAN? What did flying ferrets have to do with large limbs? Was there some new breed of Dark creature roaming the corridors that caused enlarged limbs with its bite?

Sweet solstice he did not need more fur to be terrified of.

"Delirium and confusion are clear signs of a concussion. Memory loss as well," he continued, knowing all TOO well first hand of these side effects. Ahem. And clearly they had to be both those things to have come to class in that state instead of going to Cecelia directly. Highly illogical thinking on their parts. "It will not be safe for you both to portkey prior to being cleared by the Healer." Not to mention the loss of dexterity having limbs off balance for a time could prevent them from holding on to things properly.

Seeing as there was no need for all THREE of them to be over here, and really Meri-berry's decision was final on the matter anyway, he gave his colleagues a quick nod and...went back to the front of the classroom near his desk.

"If everyone who has not been attacked by mysterious flying weasels could please gather over here," he announced, waving his arms to draw focus. "I would like to go over some ground rules and information prior to our departure." He gave his sundial watch a quick glance and nodded. Just a few minutes behind now but nothing that couldn't be made up if he spoke quickly. Which, thankfully for all, he was quite good at.

He waited a moment for students to gather around him.

"We have spent a good portion of the term in Astronomy discussing terraforming - process of transforming a hostile environment into one suitable for human life - and today we will be portkeying to an area that mimics this. Only rather than that being the surface of an alien planet," he explained (magic had it's limitations, after all). "It is an area previously made inhabitable by muggles. The Department of Environmental Regulation and Protection has graciously allowed for you to see what restoration efforts can be done before they go in and try themselves, so this is quite a big deal."

He paused for a moment to let that sink in.

"We often take for granted our influence on our surrounding environment," he continued, his on thoughts drifting to the impact Hogwarts had had on a certain acromantula colony and what had come from THAT. "So who can tell me some of the ways that people, muggle and wizarding alike, can have a negative influence on the environment and, as in extreme cases such as this, that lead to severe land degradation?"

And he sincerely hoped all would pay attention because these theories and speculation would come into play VERY soon.

OOC: class has officially begun! Please do not post arriving late unless you are willing to accept the IC consequences of doing so <3

We will move things along within or around 24 hours from the time of this post. Feel free to get creative with magical methods and remember that not only "correct" answers count for participation.
