And even more awesomeness from the staff table, this time from our new Astronomy professor:

He returned the way with just a little more vigor and enthusiasm along with a rather big grin. "Airey Flamsteed, Astronomy," he greeted back, still with the somewhat overly confident grin on his face. Good thing he had worn his favorite and best suit tonight. But then his face fell and he tried his best to cover his slight look of SHOCK on his face when he heard not only the ~~rubbish~~ subject she taught but that it also implied that the person who he shared a tower with and had the living standards of a troll was... "Calista, nice to meet you."

Could he offer to clean her part of the tower?

He was even going to do so when she asked about the box he had with him. "Oh, this?" he said as he tapped the box and removed the lid. "I picked up some steak tartar at this small muggle supermarket on my way here." Had been right next to the dry cleaners. He had been a bit surprised by how cheap it had been actually...but muggles were always surprising him. He opened the box and took out one of the cans and tried not to shiver at the company's chosen mascot character. Felines...fur...UUUUG! Glancing back at the Divination professor, he slid one of the cans down the table to her. "Muggles call it Fancy Feast because it makes all feasts more fancy," he said, trying to sound like he actually knew what he was talking about. "Very smart of them to label it so simply, don't you think?" Honestly, muggles were simply fascinating!

Speaking of which...which one of these people was the Muggle Studies professor? He had a ~~book~~ list of questions to ask them.

He was about to suggest she go ahead and try some now - because he was rather curious about the flavor himself - when the Headmistress stood and gave her speech. Pushing the box to the side again, he gave the woman her full attention and then some and tried to resist bouncing a little in his seat. Yes, he would be sticking with water at this feast. No more coffee or sugary drinks unless they wanted him literally bouncing off the walls of the castle.

When he heard the name of the late Astronomy professor, he lowered his head and gave a moment of silence. He had not been anything more than an acquaintance of the woman, but had spoken with her on occasion due to her stargazing interest and occasional publication she submitted to the Royal Astronomical Society, but it was a tragic thing nonetheless.

And then he heard his name, which caused him to quite literally jump to his feet and nod his head first towards the Headmistress and then towards the tables of students. Students like he had once been, which is why he sent a knowing smirk towards the Gryffindor table before sitting down again.

Offering his slightly over enthusiastic applause to whoever Professor Scabior was at the staff table, Airey grabbed his fork and knife in anticipation for the coming meal and was not disappointed. Brought him right back to his Hogwarts days.

"Oooooh," he whispered in excitement when he noticed the small basket of plain crackers that had appeared. Why yes, these would go lovely with this canned tartar. Grabbing a can from the box and removing the lid, he wrinkled his nose slightly at the smell. Was this what tartar smelled liked? He had never had it before so he wouldn't know. Then again, there were loads of smelly foods that ended up tasting delicious.

Spooning himself a rather large helping of the tartar onto the cracker, he quickly popped it into his mouth without a second thought.

"SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Coughing, gasping and gagging up a storm, Airey turned to his right and promptly spit the contents of his mouth out...and onto the woman sitting next to him. Not realizing this just yet, he grabbed the can to look for an expiration date on it. WHY would muggles sell him spoiled tartar?!

Legen-wait for it-dary!

Also worth a read, various professors responses to our new Deputy Headmaster.......
