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."

Oh, she got hugs back! Sort of. No, yes, it was a hug back, which made her smile more, and possibly...put a little more effort into her own hugging. Quite a long hug too. Went way past the three second rule. Or was it five seconds. Oh who was she to argue about hugs and rules. Hugs didn't even HAVE rules!

Though really, should one of them part? Medea nodded as much as she could with their position after Airey spoke but, that...was that. Parting. She should part. Because...that's what people did. Even though, it was very nice to be there. With his arms around her........ Few more seconds maybe...

________WOOOOOOSH!

A small, black shadow like figure zoomed past their heads, possibly even having grazed their hair. Flinching out of instinct, Medea parted from the astronomy professor just enough to glance behind. "Oh!.........OH! Chu Chu! No!" No no! FLAIL! The precious bat had the precious butterfly! In it's mouth. Oh gosh, adorable......NO! BAD! Ehhhh!
