The old professor had a small, light blanket over his knees under the table. He kept his cane on the other side of him, leaning on the table's edge. His water goblet was half-full, and he had a satisfied smile on his face. Oh to see the students fly out the nest once again, he could never get tired of this moment. What a happy occasion. Airey offered Old Man River Professor Botros an approving head nod as he bopped along with his tune. But wait...where was the Arithmancy professor? The one that seemed to want to be a firecracker for the sake of being a firecracker? The astronomer's head turned as he looked down the table until he spotted her waaaaaaaaaaaay down there. Well, fine then. Had he known that she wouldn't be sitting in her seat then he would have brought Pebbles down with him. She enjoyed feasts just as much as he did.
His attention returned to the Runes professor. The one that he SHOULD be able to speak to now without getting sweaty palms. "Familiar with this oldie?" he asked, his eyes widening dramatically as the last word left his mouth. "THE SONG. Not you. The song. Being an oldie. Not that I was calling you old." Quote:

Giving waves and smiles to the other end of the table she looked to her end. "Hello.. hello" she beamed at all of them. "Abraham how are you? Airey nice suit." She eyed it a moment before grinning to Javy and Piers. "Piersy, Javy how are you both today."
Finding her seat she looked out at the tables. So wonderful to see all the students and the banners for the house cup. It was just so much that the Divination professor snapped happily a few times. The astronomer tried to bend his leg, but it only resulted in an awkward squeaky noise as the thick rubber rubbed up against itself. Never mind. Straight legs it was.
"Oh, er, thank you, Cassiopeia," he mumbled with a little more wiggling. "You're looking very...very...bright this evening." He probably should have asked if Miss Cambridge had made good on her promise, but he also did not take the Gryffindor for one to break promises either, so he felt it was a safe assumption that all was over and done.
He could definitely deal with snaps tonight. They WERE for Gryffindor house after all, yes? Although he felt that a roar of applause was more in order...along with some more lively celebratory gestures. But he was saving all that for after the speech.
Best part of all? No astrology papers. Oooooooooooh yeeeeeeeeah. Quote:

Suddenly he lost interest. Perhaps him staying in that pink area for half of the year did enough to drive him insane. "...having fun?" He wouldn't acknowledge the suit, at least not now until he knew just how much sanity was still left in his friend. "We'll....not we will," he correctly while clearing his throat. And now he had to sing that part in his head with both versions just because...and no. Just no. Sort of turned into a tongue twister to keep up with the pace and rhythm of the song Javy's way. But the man had given the astronomer a top hat, so he was forgiven.
Fun? Eh. Sort of. "Fun would be having a snowball fight or an impromptu celebratory dance party." Truth. Sitting in his seat rocking back and forth hungry wasn't exactly his idea of fun. "But I AM in good spirits, if that is what you mean."
Unlike himself and Piers down there. What had his wand in a knot? Did it have anything to do with a sweater? MWAHAHAHA. Quote:
Originally Posted by Hera It was difficult, leaving her empty office and walking the corridors to her final end of term feast... no, it was more than difficult, it was depressing. Dressed in red to celebrate the occasion, a much deserved win for her darling Lions, Seren entered through the back of the dais and moved along its length toward her seat... or at least, that was the plan until she had gotten herself distracted. "...- 'til the end!" she chimed into song behind her colleagues. Seren rest an arm across Airey's shoulders, he'd been an amazing support for her this term. Amazing. "We did it!" she added, stealing a short moment to admire the red and gold. "Hope you're enjoying your evening gentlemen," she mused before making her way slowly down the table - giving those that were present a fleeting smile and a wave.
She was holding it together. For now.
Clearing her throat, Seren pulled out her seat and claimed it, immediately moving to pour herself some water. She was smiling, though she wasn't sure if it pained her because she was so ecstatic to see Gryffindor win, or if it was the pain of leaving her home of the past ten years. His body went rigid for just a moment as Seren's arm invaded his personal bubble, but he quickly relaxed because it was Seren. Although his eyes did sort of dart around awkwardly for a moment, catching Leobald's brief glance and throwing him back a congratulatory wave for not dying. He was being spared a prank again this evening, by the way. He had heard that the librarian had had enough of a hair scare thanks to some 8-legged freaks. A small nod went towards the Transfiguration professor, but nothing more. He was sure the woman hated him and it mad him want to plank when he reminded himself that he needed to ask her about a particular spell she had taught.
So Seren was a LOVELY distraction. But he wasn't sure what this 'we' talk was. He hardly had anything to do with the victory other than rewarding good homework - which was certainly not something specific to Gryffindor. "Quite the way to end your decade here at Hogwarts," he grinned. "Did you happen to have time to stop by the common room?"
And see her surpriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiise? Quote:

Smiling down at her former meal partner, she had to admit she sometimes missed his cheerful quirkiness. And his nontraditional attire. Like who except Airey Flamsteed could get away with wearing a wet suit to a closing feast? At least he kept his good spirits. Even if she wasn't entirely in the mood for them, she offered him a friendly wave... He had been basking in the warm glow of the crimson and gold banners when Josephina had waved to him, so she got a TWO handed wave in return. EXCITED ASTRONUT OVER HERE!
Airey then turned his attention to Nessarose and gave her a double handed wave as well. He had heard some exciting things about her lessons this term and wanted to ask her if perhaps he could partake in one in the future. Go back to some of his musical theater roots, perhaps. His own schedule permitting that is. Quote:

She just needed to get this over with. Not to mention she wanted to spend as much of the feast with her friends as possible and knew that Flamsteed wasn't really a touchy feely kinda guy. He was actually quite the opposite.
Addi kept a smile on her face as she walked up to the podium after gather the multiple containers of goodies she had baked just for Flamsteed. She did make the rest of the staff their own as well, but well, he was her favorite and he was definitely getting more.
His suit. Wow just. Adelaide smiled. "Out of clean suits professor?" She was going to keep her cool and not cry this time. Even if she was aware that most of the people in the place were probably watching her up here at the staff table. Airey was choking on air when he overheard Piers' suggestion to tackle Leobald - no thanks. Can hardly move in our scuba suit over here - so he was pounding on his chest with his fist when Miss Adams approached the dais and announced herself.
"Miss *COUGH* Adams *COUGH*...YES..." Oh, there we go. Oxygen properly going in now. Ahem. "You should be down at the Slytherin table with your classmates. Or is there something the matter that cannot wait until after the Headmistress' speech?"
And if there was something the matter...could she keep any tears in?
