He smiled, but it was more of an amused smile, as he shook his hand firmly. "Ah, no worries." Though it would have been nice to have something to drink his tea from.

Was he getting that tea, by the way?

If there had been any staring, the astronomer honestly hadn't noticed. Strange looks and lingering gazes were something he had grown quite accustomed to over the years. Though there were still a few looks that he would never truly grow accustomed to.

"Archie...like the old American muggle comic," he noted more to himself than anyone else who could hear. "That should make things easy to remember." Not that he was particularly bad with names or anything, but it was always nice to have an association to help exercise the cranium. "I can offer you a sampling from my extensive tea collection instead should the need arise."

Since, you know, he had overheard that bit of the conversation with the Headmistress. AND his collection was still in the correct order thanks to the hard work of a certain two Gryffindors in detention a few years back.

"Likewise," and he actually meant it. Because he was reminded of the pranks he managed to pull as well. The fun they had.

"I hear you're still crazy about the stars," Pause. "And suits," Judging by the look and the fact that the man held the position of the Astronomy Professor. "I hear you are also, Head of House, Congratulations," It was actually weird a bit. The man whom he had a prank war for seven years. They were both grown ups men and professors, yet Andrew was fighting the urge to pull out a non-existing potion bomb. Like the good ol' days.

Smirk. Likewise. Airey could practically see the sarcarm oozing from Andy's lips as he spoke them, but the feeling was mutual. There wasn't any sort of true hatred between the two of them, it was more that their friendship - if one wanted to call them that - had been out of necessity. Airey had struggled with Herbology and needed Andy's notes and occasional tutoring to pass. Andy was rubbish at Astronomy and thus required Airey's expertise. A friendship based on intellectual need...and perhaps some genuine bromance thrown in on the rare occassion.

"You know me, star-cravin mad over here," he saluted back. The suits really went without saying. Did anyone who truly knew him back in the day doubt he would wear anything less? He tugged on his suit jacket at the mention of Head of House talk. Yep. He was in charge of keeping all those lions in check now! Pretty insane really. Daphne had told him she felt sorry for the house.

But what did she know anyway? She had been a Slytherin.

His blue eyes looked out to the Gryffindor table and.......on sweet solstice. What in blazing comets was going on over there already?

Distracted, he really only half heard what Lolita was saying to him. Something about his outfit being quite the outfit and coordinated well. Or something to that effect.

"Yes, well, if you will excuse me for just a moment...I better go, er, I better go check on what is transpiring down there."

Before something blew up. This WAS Alexa Cambridge in a dispute after all. It was a legitimate concern.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet solstice let there be no one crying by the time he got down there.....................
