"Of course professor, and" She leaned over the table a bit, "Can we just forget that ice cream constellation issue ever happened? Maybe you can keep the drawing just as a laugh, but let's just forget it alright?" Because that's what she was doing with the entire term forgetting it. Well most of it at least.
Taking the small stack of posters she smiled, "These will be up around the puff common room and dorms tonight sir. Hopefully you will find pebbles." Once she had helped the first years she would make it priority to get those up next. Looking at the picture Minerva half wondered if she couldn't just get another rock and decorate it to look like pebbles. He could be happy if she pulled it off and no one else would have to know it was a fake pebbles, right? Nah she could never live, she was a horrible liar. Better just try to find the real one. The stellar smile that had been on the Astronomy professor's face was gone the moment the Hufflepuff prefect turned fake!Healer mentioned ice cream. He didn't have the heart to tell her that what she had seen with her own imagination wasn't a constellation but an asterism, but he was lost in his own thoughts of guilt and regret. "I would appreciate if we just forgot about ice cream entirely," he whispered back. Like, please? Let's just not talk about the dairy dessert anymore, okay?
His smile returned temporarily when she mentioned the posters again. "Thank you, Miss Wheatborn," he smiled, giving up the Healer prefix for now since it seemed like the teen was getting her earful about it. Hopefully someday he would be able to call her by that name, though. Not that he wanted Cece to leave - he had sort of a sort spot for the hard exterior woman - but more he wanted his students to achieve their dreams.
He sort of just say back as the girl was dismissed, giving her a small wave as she left the dais. He would be seeing her in lessons soon if she did not stop by to visit his office beforehand. SPOILER!!: Callie & Medea Quote:

"Airey told me how he felt, and I let him know it was okay. It's not your all's fault you know." The ice cream and stuff. She didn't like seeing her best girlfriend like this.
Airey had given her a strange welcome and had left nothing but feathers and a poster of his pet rock behind. Some welcome but at least Callie was for sure that she wasn't the only one to have malted on this dias--she would have to write and inform William.
But beside that, Callie had decided to chance a glance at the Astronomy Professor and found with slight shock but also a tad relieved that he was already looking her way...but WHAT? Who was that man and why was he pointing at her?
Realization dawned on the blonde as she realized that it may be Airey's friend he mentioned in the Alley, but what was he doing sitting in the Arithmancy chair, he said the man would be teaching History of Magic? Regardless, Calista waved over at them with a bright smile. Quote:

Airey told her how he felt. What did that mean? That didn't mean...the thing. The thing that the blonde woman couldn't possibly know about...UNLESS AIREY TOLD HER.
"Vot?" she squeaked, hands gripping her empty plate. What what?
If it hadn't been for Tiberius asked about Calista, Airey would still be avoiding looking in her direction. Medea's too. Only he was going to have to speak to Medea soon to plan out their first yearbook meeting. He really needed to speak to BOTH of them because the feelings that were transfusing inside him made him feel as though he were going to go supernova at any moment. And many turn into a black hole of self doubt.
Yep. Sounded about right.
But, his best mate had asked about the Divination professor, so there he was. Looking her direction and feeling like he had just moved several thousand light years closer to the sun because of it. And it was because he was already looking that he noticed the....strange behavior that Medea exhibited next. After whatever it was that that Calista had said to her.
OH NO! DID SHE KNOW?! HAD SHE SEEN?! OVERHEARD?! WHAT WAS GOING ON!?
He palms began to sweat and he fidgeted in his seat. SPOILER!!: Hadley & Tibby Quote:

There was NO way that this man could be taking over her office. Her classroom. She wouldn't have it. And there was certainly no way she would be giving up HER seat for HIM. "Yes, I know I'm there..." she glanced towards there, and momentarily cringed as she realized who her new seating partner would be. "And I don't mind it, really, I don't, but I need my seat. See, the thing is I've always used that seat, for 10 years. Every meal. So, well, all I want to do is just... switch the chairs." Mmhm. He could totally sit in that spot, just, the seat was hers. Attachment issues? Definitely. "So like... just a quick switch? It won't take more than a moment."
Taking the paper from Airey about the pet rock, she nodded about its contents and folded it neatly in half, before placing it in her bag. Quote:

Using this time to venture looks down the table Tiberius took notice of two others grabbing his attention. Tiberius gave the man a big ol' grin and waved his arm back at the guy who gave him a small wave. Seems like a cool guy, taking time to acknowledge his existence all the way down there. He'll have to speak with him later. Cool locks on top of his head too. Red Head in the center, not hard to miss. She was clearly the Head Mistress of course. "My pleasure to be here. Had an okay nap on the way up. Nice and crowded in that back car, like the last train I rode." What was she doing now, was there something wrong with her neck, clearly she should have that really young Healer take a look at it for her. GAH! No stop quit looking that way!She saw him pointing in her direction and was now looking at the two of them! Merlin, he felt so dumb! Tiberius lowered his head and gave Flams a nod for his responses to his question. He didn't ask about Ms. Fork Fumble Fingers, though it was good to know who she was just in case. Whaa!?!? What was Flams doing, putting him on the spot like that! This one looked kind of intimidating in a secretly using niceties kind of way! Tiberius gave Flamsteed a angry look then turned his attention back to the Arithmahggle Professor. "I-uh-yeah I'm the new History of Mag..Errrithmancy Professor." Oh! Oh, Okay she just wanted the chair...."Uh umm sure." Tiberius stood up from his seat so that the Lady could take it. "Tiberius Dursley, by the way. Pleasure to meet you." Now without a seat, Tiberius crouched down and rested his arms on the table for good balance. Even without a chair no way would he leave his Best Mate in such a time of need. Must of looked ridiculous, but then again, when did he not?
Losing a pet was devastating. Not that he would know, never had one himself but he was sure it was a sad feeling. He's lost plenty of books. "Seren?... Baby?" A Head of House had a baby with them? Where!?!? Tiberius loved little snots errr...tots! He looked down across the table once more to spot the woman looking down at them as well, there was no baby with her! He glared at Flams for this too. She looked sort of familiar? Did she attend Hogwarts around the same year as Flamsy, and him?...where had he seen her before. THE QUESTIONS! Who was that giving him that look on the opposite end of the Head Mistress, and next to the Gryffindor Head?... Guy was HUGE! Tiberius tried to imagine wrapping himself in a hug around the buff guy, but even then in his imagination his arms would not touch around the mans back.
...wait, WAIT! Oh He recognized him now! "Sticks!" Tiberius yelped across the table leaning forward and waving at the guy! Tiberius was proud of his nickname for the huge former Housemate. He took Airey's fun one from that Potions incident while they were in school, and ironically gave Nick there the nick name. Get it?!?! Sticks, THE GUY WAS ANYTHING BUT ONE!
...and was thankful for the interaction between Josephina and Tiberius because it was a distraction from the way his insides were squirming. Someone was a little possessive over a chair. Airey found it rather ridiculous to be that attached to an inanimate object (rocks didn't count!) like the women seemed to be. It was a chair. You sat in it. "Are you going to have your office switched around as well?" he asked, half mocking half genuinely curious as to how far the woman's obsession had gone. She was in there much longer than the three ish hours a day she sat in that chair.
"No no, Captain, stay," he said, grabbing his friend and pulling him back down on the chair again. In fact... Airey quickly pulled out his wand and gave it a quick flick towards the seat. Ha! There. Now he was glued to the seat. Take THAT! *************SPEECH HAPPENED*************
Drumming his fingers on the table softly, Airey waited for the Headmistress to be done with her speech. He was eager to get some nutrition into his body despite the slightly nauseous feeling he had whenever he caught certain people out of the corner of his eye. Yes, that did also slightly include you Sticky Nicky. Heh.
His insides knotted for another reason, something the Headmistress said. Sweet solstice he hoped he had prepared his students for what was ahead. He would hate to let them down. Again. Only this time he could not blame it on the ice cream.
Applauding at all the appropriate places, he FROWNED when she did not include looking for his lost pet in her speech. Pebbles was a vital part of Hogwarts too, you know. He dared another glance at Calista when she was mentioned, a nervous smile playing on his lips before his face was back out at the sea of students now all sorted into their houses. He threw two thumbs way WAY up at the Gryffindor table and then grabbed his fork and knife. Time to eat!
