It didn't seem to matter that she hadn't patted his shoulder, though, for soon enough, he was reaching out to her and placing a hand on her shoulder. Sophie grinned big at that, fighting to keep his gaze without appearing embarrassed, both secondhand and for having expressed such genuinely kind feelings and having it acknowledged directly. She didn't like being a mushy gushy person with anyone but a select few, and especially not with a professor like Flamsteed.
For a moment, she was just smiling up at him, happy that he was happy and processing how awkward it was for the both of them - until she finally shrugged casually and offered, "Y'don't need to thank me. I should be thanking you for being so great and making Astronomy so easy to be interested in. There are some classes," she wasn't going to name any, "that are a lot less fun and interesting than they could be because the professor's dull or mean." Liiiiike Transfiguration. Mostly just Transfiguration, actually.
"But yours rises above the rest for all the good reasons possible." Maybe except Potions, but... "I mean it." Her tone was very matter-of-fact - she wasn't being soft and intentionally cheesy with him. "So... stick around for awhile, okay? I couldn't imagine what it'd be like to have anyone but you teach Astronomy. Bet it'd be outrageously underwhelming." She did move forward enough to reach out and nudge the professor playfully with an elbow to defuse tension this time and smiled brightly up at him.
"That's all I wanted to say, though." So she'd leave him alone. He could go back to his very important business or whatever he'd been doing.
His hand felt like it had had a Permanent Sticking Charm placed on it as it continued to rest on Miss Brown's shoulder. Was that awkward? He probably should remove it soon or else risk the embarrassment of having it removed for him like Miss Cambridge had done. So he was staring at his hand. Willing it to move. MOVE HAND, MOVE! Only somewhere between the thought and his brain processing the request for physical action things got lost. And nothing happened.
And she was talking more. Lots of sincere words that were most definitely going to emotionally compromise himself were he to let his guard down completely. But, no offense Miss Brown, he wasn't quite ready to do that with you. In fact, there were still no students who had entirely earned that right. There were those that were close, but not entirely there just yet.
"I am just doing my job to the best of my ability," he smiled down at her. OH LOOK! His pinky was moving now. Maybe he could actually remove his hand so it wasn't just sitting there like some dead piece of moon rock in an astronaut's hand. Did that analogy even work? He was flustered, alright?! But her words were slightly reminiscent of Miss Wisteria's, causing his ears to turn a slightly brighter shade of red. "But it is stellar to hear that my efforts are having the desired effect."
He hadn't been expecting the elbow, although it did cause him to finally remove his hand from her shoulder, and took a tiny step to the side. "Newton's First Law of Motion," he explained. Because that explained everything. Obviously. "Unless you have somewhere you need to be, you are welcome to step into my office for some tea. We can find those flowers a prime spot as well."
SPOILER!!: all the "house elves" Quote:

Why was there still so much glitter? They had their own little army out here and it seemed like the glitter didn't wanna leave. "Vacavus." This couch still had a massive amount of glitter on it.
Looking over, it seemed like Lex had finished her couch in warp speed. She was older though, and who knew how many times she had the chance to vacuum up glitter. AJ wasn't going to take her slow progress personally.
The lion continued to suck up glitter and waited to see if Airey planned on joining them or not. Quote:

"Colovaria!" Blank white clearly pictured in his mind, he-
.... what was that noise?
Oh! "Hi Professor Top Hat!" The first year WAVED, and... did the professor mind that he was the only non-Gryffindor here? He knew that the guy HIMSELF was one, but that was okay, right? Dima knew the COLOR-CHANGING CHARM NOW, he could make his robe crest red if needed!
Emerging from his office with a Cheshire Cat-like grin, he set a box of lint rollers on the coffee table and looked to the crowd. "As a final touch, if you could each take one of these and roll it over your area of my seating area," he instructed. It was part of his process, you see.
"Oh, Mr. Toussaint. I almost didn't see you there," he chuckled with a small wave. Small human in blue robes lost in a sea of taller students with crimson robes and all. "Do let me know if you need anything," he said, mostly to everyone, as he conjured himself a cloud and quickly mounted it. He would have flopped down on a sofa, but it had not been properly lint rolled just yet so it was not ready for his bum. "I'll just be right over here observing."
