The results of his lesson had been sent off to his wizarding astronomer friend for further analysis, and he had hoped that he would have some news to leave students with before summer - especially to those departing seventh years - but it still seemed as though no conclusive evidence regarding the pull of a solar eclipse on one's magic had been determined.
Which, to him meant it was time to just throw in the towel and pick up a better research topic.
Nodding his head to Old Man River as he passed, Airey made his way towards his and and set Pebbles down on the table in front of the seat beside him. The seat that belonged to the Arithmancy professor. The man hadn't been there for the opening feast, so it was a shame to let such a seat go to waste. Besides, Pebbles need to reacquaint herself with Hogwarts and what better way than giving her a special seat with an excellent view.
"Headmistress Truebridge! LOOK WHO CAME BACK!" He called with an enthuastic wave towards the woman. "Pebbles informs me that there are no hard feelings regarding her abandonment and she is just please to be back at Hogwarts."
He then saw just who else was seated to his left and choked on air for just a moment. "C-Calista!" he exclaimed. "Good to....good...to...goodtoSEE you...back...here...again....." There was some awkward fidgeting. "Hi."
LeoBALD and his Bumber Broom Companion in Crime also received nods, but he was a little too flustered and stammering to form more coherent sentences. WHY?!?!?
Why did the man have to yell!?!
GUHHHH!!!! She couldn't stand the man!
She stood and made her way to the Slytherin table to give her own little speech... and then, came back to her seat and sat down.
