..... Wait a minute.... Was he one of the first? But he was never one of the firsts? Looking around with an expression of mild surprise, Zander walked towards the table outside of the classroom. He didn't really understand the sign about the hair thing- did that actually happen?- but shrugged it off. Nothing out of the ordinary, or well, out of Flailsteed's ordinary anyways. Right then, picking up the lint roller- which did look pretty new thanks to the new term and all- The Gryffindor began rolling away the 'dirt' on his robes.

Except there wasn't any dirt on his robes because he hadn't worn this set out yet AND his trunk was pretty clean thankyouverymuch. So there wasn't really any dirt to lint-roll off in the first place.

Knowing better than to argue with the Professor's silly requests, however, he did as was told and then walked into the empty classroom. 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.

Lux was excited as she made her way to the first Astronomy lesson of the term. This was one of her favourite subjects, and it was taught by her favourite professor which made it even more awesome in her eyes. 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.

Finding her seat, she sat down and eagerly waited for more people to arrive. Class needed to start soon, because these lessons were always so much fun. Since she was not sure if Zander still hated her, Lux made sure not to look at him.

This was possibly going to be the MOST EXCITING LESSON EVER. Go figure, if you asked him, he couldn't tell you why, but Zeke thought it was perfectly reasonable to think this. After all, it wasn't every day Professors jumped on tables, rawred, held awesome parties and... asked you to use a lint roller on your way in??? Huh?

Zeke stared at the sign, remembering mention of this in the class rules/manifesto he had skimmed over with the class notice. Eeeehhh. He didn't really need it, did he? But he used it regardless. Just on the shoulders, the sleeves that he could see and the bit on his chest. WEIRD.. but kinda cool.

"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?"

It was highly unusual for Cutty Mordaunt to greet his teachers. He was there simply to absorb and maintain an existence off of all that their brains had to offer. Like a parasite. He made the exception now and again. 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.

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.

Abby entered the astronomy lesson and said "Evening professor" Abby took a seat and waited for the lesson to start

Gwen was super excited for Astronomy. Not because of the subject, she'd never thought much about that, but because it was going to be her first class with Flamsteed. The man just seemed like he was going to be a lot of fun.

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.

Gwen waved as she saw Zeke. And there was that girl Lux that taught her about Pygmy Puffs. She got a little wave too. She looked over at the big circle things Zeke was talking about. Yeah. What were those things. She was going to stand up here and wait for an answer to that one too.

There were way too many staircases in the castle. Brooklyn hadn’t gotten lost, but she was tired of climbing stairs. Especially since half of them seemed to decide they wanted to take her places she hadn’t wanted to go when she had places to be. She had classes, and she wasn’t about to stop her mission to get the professors to think she was perfect. She’d done so for Professor Bellaire at the feast, but there were plenty of others she still had to get to. Not to mention classes, although she still wondered if she could get out of actual work. Princesses weren’t expected to work. Queens definitely weren’t.

She had eyed the lint roller outside of the astronomy classroom, taking her time to decide to pick it up and at least pretend to run it over her uniform. There wasn’t any lint on it anyhow, not even cat hair from playing with Tywin earlier. Who had been stupid enough to think it was used on hair? That just made her wonder about the people here, even more than she already had been.

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.

Astronomy. Leah was excited for the first Astronomy lesson of the term and of course, was ready for it. There were good lessons last year too, and it was natural for her to expect more. The stars and stuff was AWESOME.

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.

Then the Hufflepuff chose a seat at the front with a good view of the comic and the professor.

The lint roller. Really, who needed that? Didn't everyone just keep their school uniforms clean anyway? Apparently not. Maggie eyed it for a second, picked it up with two fingers, wrinkled her nose and set it down again without using it. Nope. She didn't need it. Her uniform was lint-free, thank you very much. It was perfect. Just like her.

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.

She pulled out her textbook, parchment and quill and neatly set it down on the desk. Then came her ink. Of course she'd brought the glitter ink.

The pink one. Obviously.

Sapphire was glad to see that she was one of the first students to arrive. She quickly noticed the lint roller outside, but wasn't sure what to do until she saw an older student use it before her.

"Interesting..." she thought curiously. After her turn with the lint roller, she stepped inside the classroom and took a seat next to a girl who seemed friendly. And she was a Gryffindor, too!



"Hi," Sapphire said with a smile as she sat down and put her wand, textbook, parchment, quill and ink on her desk.

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.

Wait did somebody really use this thing in their hair. Well it did look like a comb if you were not paying attention..or blind. And someone even signed it. Pretty awesome. Dante thought this thing more looked like a microphone. But that was just him. He used the lint roller on his robes to make them look more fancy then they already were

Fancy Robes.

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.

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?

Having made her way to the classroom with minimal trouble (she had somehow got herself turned about on one of the moving staircases) young Hady still had a few minutes before class started. Boy was she glad she had left extra early!

Stopping beside the small table outside the door she waited her turn for the lint roller. She wasn't exactly sure what she needed to use it for really as her uniform was spotlessly clean but she wasn't going to argue at all. Picking up the lint roller she lightly ran it over her robes before placing it back on the table again.

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.

Setting her ink, quill, textbook and parchment on the table before her she relaxed back into the chair waiting for the lesson to began.

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.

Thornton gleefully passed the lint roller over his robes not once. Not twice. But three times. If the Professor was concerned about lint - which was his prerogative as far as Thornton was concerned - and Thornton upheld a rather strict adherence to proper attire, then why wouldn't he be extra attentive to potential lint.

The back of his robe was a bit of a challenge, but Thornton managed. Next time, though, he resolved to ask someone for assistance.

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.

Slipping into his seat, Thornton wondered about the book the man was reading. It wasn't quite a picture book for children, but it certainly didn't look like any book Thornton had ever seen...

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".

Looking around the room, Jasmine gave a wave to her friends Lux, Abby, Leah and Adi. Oh and there was Cutty, a wave for him too. Finally Jasmine sat down and unpacked her things. Now she could relax until class began.

Toby known the Starman long enough to know the drill with the lint-roller, and didn't even need to read the sign to prompt him into passing it over his robes a few times. He DID look at the sign though, and saw the little addition. He'd never asked the meaning having the sign there, figured it was just another little Flamsteed quirk, but when he saw what he was pretty sure was Mo's signature at the bottom of it, he put two and two together and grinned.

After setting the roller down for the next kid, Toby made his way into the classroom and automatically beelined for his usual seat over by the windows, in that one particular spot where he got a good view of Professor Airey's desk. Not that it mattered; this professor wasn't much one for staying at his desk.

"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.

First things first: Eden knew this professor would be super weird, considering they had to use a lint-rollder before entering. Did he have issues with LINT? Eden didn't see the point at ALL. She had probably missed quite a few spots anyways, considering the uniform wasn't..an easy uniform to lint-roll. So, sorry, Professor..whatever his name was. She was unamused.

She sat down and wondered--well, the energy in here was certainly different than the energy in Divination. She took out her notebook..and her quill...since it seemed everyone was doing that. And her book. What even WAS Astronomy? Eden had NO clue at all. It had to with the stars, though, she knew that much. Eden always felt more sciency than anything else--maybe this was sciency, and maybe she'd like it? She scribbled something about the date on the top of her page and sat all comfy--right. Was Connor here? Clara? Anyone? ANYONE? She didn't see any familiar faces, which only increased her heightened shyness in a new place--so she just kept her eyes down and tried not to look like a fish out of water. Minus the slimy part. Eden wasn't slimy. Hmph.

She crossed her ankles and sat semi-like a lady, thinking of how many comments her grandparents would have about that. They would probably be more critical than anything, though. Hmph.

When would class start? Oh--when would it be over? It was already running late--Eden was hungrrrrrry! She wouldn't ask the professor this--rude--but she couldn't keep her tummy quiet! 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.S he would like to tell Professor Flamsteed that Star Wars was CLEARLY better...she wouldn't.

Flamsteed was an interesting guy and though this class wasn't her FAVORITE, Maddie was always interested to see what kind of hi jinks the man was going to get up to. Guy should have his own show, no joke. This second year would definitely watch.

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.

There were lots of spots to choose from, yes? Like by Toby the puff (who she liked) and Jazzy the prefect (who she already chatted with on occasion). Unfortunately for THEM, her mission today was scouting minions. That meant a younger kid would be needed. Spotting a seat near the little Barrington, Maddie slid into it and let her bag fall to the floor. She then eyed him curiously before speaking. "You don't look that much like him, your brother." Just saying. But also, "Hi."

You did NOT hint to a girl about explosions then have house elves CLEANING when she got to class. If this wasn't bad form she didn't know what was!! Lex might have paced and she might have gone over her robes four times with the lint roller but you know, who was counting? Not this Gryffindor.

Finally inside, Lex made to ask the Professor what the big idea was but that question left in the wake of another upon seeing him...reading a comic book....

"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.

ASTRONOMY.

That's it. No need for a longer introduction. That's all you needed. One word of the most magnificent--okay, maybe that was pushing it a little, but it is her favorite subject at Hogwarts, after all.

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.

Oh, look, little Dante was here! Precious kid.

Now she could proceed to her usual seat, yes? Yes.

So...a lint roller? David hadn't seen any at the entrances of any other lessons, so he figured this was just a Flamsteed thing. He was pretty sure his robes were still clean and lint-free, but he ran the lint roller over them anyway, NOT sticking it in his hair (because who would do that anyway?? Why would you want to lint roller your hair?), and then walked in.

"'Sup, Professor," he said with a nod in greeting before heading to a seat.

It was the turn of the spaceships, planets, stars and unknown outer space things class.

Before entering the room, Hugo read the small note beside the lint roller. How can someone think it could be use on hair? People's mind are interesting. The first thing he noticed was the big structure in the middle of the room. Was it something used to see stars or just decoration?

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.
