SPOILER!!: Flamsteed
Thankfully, Airey missed the Hufflepuff's look of hurt when he had laughed. He had not meant to hurt her and had honestly found her words amusing. So hopefully it had not left any lasting scars.

That is until she looked up and spoke. Oh, oops? Had he said something wrong? Pleasestopalmostcrying. "Of course you do," he said with a small smile as he returned to sipping on his tea. Ah yes, much better. Feeling his limbs relax just a bit, the professor eased into his seat and rolled his shoulders. "It is fine to set goals high for ourselves. Just you cannot allow yourself to get lost when things don't work out the way we may have hoped." The shift in pronouns was subliminal and for a brief moment hurt flashed across his face and his blue eyes.

WOAH WOAH WOAH! Rewind. Freeze. STOP. NO NO NO NONONOOOOO!

Airey was panicking on the inside as he saw something watery and somewhat terrifying trinkling down the girl's cheeks. Tears? Were those tears? Oh sweet solstice he hadn't signed up for this. What should he do?! He was too panicked to have found it amusing that she said fail so many times in the same sentence - which it was funny - and he began to fumble around with things on his desk in search for some tissues. Should he tell her that it was alright? That she shouldn't feel bad? He WAS disappointed that she had done so poorly because he saw her as a student with a lot of potential, but that didn't mean she should cry!

"You don't apologize to me, Miss Wheatborn. But you do need to forgive yourself so you can recover and move on."

So please stop crying, okay?


She pulled her bag onto her lap and opened it, taking out a tissue wiped her eyes. She had to compose herself, this was not appropriate even if she was upset. This term was suppose to be better then last term, why did it seem to be starting just as it ended. Shesingle handedly disappointed two professors, herself, and if her parents were around she most likely would have disappointed them as well. Trying to focus again on his words, "But what if all you have known is one way, then when your hit with another way, lost is about the only thing that can happen?" She didn't know failure, it was a very odd thing, so she honestly did not know how to handle it or how to fix the it.

Don't apologize.. She looked at him oddly, "Sir, I.. I disappointed you, that I assure you is the last thing I want to do. I will try harder in your room and maybe if you could direct me in some books or extra practice that could help and if there is anything else I could ever help out with, please let me know." Eager to prove herself as well as get rid of the disappointment he had for her performance, Minerva was willing to do extra work.
