Oh gosh, and he cleaned it up, as he said? For her? The latter part was left unsaid, but he did give it to her as a gift.

It took her juuuuust a moment to register what he said... "OH!" Hands flailing in front of her as she reached for her wand left upon the table. Of course. It should be animated right away. The proper spells, as so mentioned, didn't take long to be put into place. Soon enough, she stepped away from the table, watching the butterfly intently with anxious eyes. A wing twitched. And then the other. Until they twitched in unison and soon enough, started to flutter with ease like butterfly wings did.

Medea couldn't help the squeak of delight that escaped her once the little sculpture lifted itself off the table. Nor did she think twice about suddenly moving to hug Airey with an excited hop in her step... or the kiss upon his cheek. "Thank yooouuuu, oh gosh. She's beautiful. Thank you. She's perfect!"
There was actually a lot of interesting things at this flea market and Airey had been kicking himself over some of the vintage astronomical equipment he had found. And maps. There had been plenty of old maps and other things, but he hadn't converted his galleons into muggle money to have been able to afford it all. He had just been planning on a simple trip to the dry cleaner's after all.

Can't put a price on happiness, though, and seeing his colleague's reaction was priceless. and for everything else there is that muggle plastic card.

He held his breath as Medea performed the spells. Wouldn't it just be his luck that these alloys were not the sort that could be charmed or some other stroke of bad luck. Thankfully this was not the case and soon the metal butterfly was, er, fluttering - for lack of a better term.

What came next was not expected. Well, the hug was at least. He had read about hugs and friendship after all. He had even hugged Calista in Diagon Alley over the summer. You know. Being a good friend and all. It required hugs according to the text. Step 5 in the 10 step program if it recalled correctly. The kiss....that was different and it was her lips - the same ones he had kissed last term - on his cheek that caused his body to freeze up as if hit by a Full Body-Bind Curse.

THAT...wasn't a part of the 10 steps....

Hugging her back somewhat timidly - WAS HE SUPPOSED TO KISS HER CHEEK NOW TOO?! - he smiled. Not that she could see that since his chin was resting on her shoulder and he was sort of afraid to turn her head because...well...the mechanics behind things were that he would be putting himself in THAT position again. He wanted to though, but he also didn't want to be more confused about.....them.

They probably needed to talk about all that.

After what seemed like an eternity of him just holding her in his arms and getting lost in his on confused thoughts, the astronomer finally spoke. "I'm glad you like her."
