"Goo---" he began, his mouth opening and releasing the balloon from between his teeth that then went zooming right towards the Slytherin's face. "WATCH OUT!"
Simon had been having a lovely time waiting for Professor Flamsteed. He had caught up on a couple new articles about some more galaxies that the muggles had recently discovered at NASA. It was all really cool... Then all of a sudden, he heard someone yelling watch out. His blue eyes widened when he looked up and saw a balloon flying right at his face.
BALLOONS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FREINDLY, weren't they? 
He had loved balloons ever since he was a child as he loved inhaling the helium to make his voice go up really high. He sounded like a chipmunk when he did that. But this balloon was heading towards him at a rapid velocity so Simon couldn't do anything but prepare himself for the impact.
5...... 4...... It was almost there.
.... 3....... 2....... Ooh this would be one terrible crash.
1......
He ducked.
Was he okay? Was he still EVEN alive?
To his surprise, he was.
Phew. The balloon had grazed his hair a little, making it stick up as if he had put gel in it this morning. It was now filed with static. Uh cool. He gave the Astronomy Professor a shy wave. It was all good. No one got an eye poked out. "
Err.. Hi Professor!" he said, standing up rather awkwardly.
