No?
NO?!
Exsqueeze me?
Airey didn't even have the strength to throw the Divination professor a scowl as she tried to assure him it was "just a cat." He did scowl at that one. "And I supwposed you would tell someone who had arachnephobia that an Acromantula is just a spider," he muttered as he clung a little more fiercely to Javy - still not entirely realizing what he was doing. "People can DIE from those BEASTS you know. Ever heard of something called SEPTICAEMIA?!"
Yeah. YEAH. That KILLED people and the potential carrier of that was ON HIS CHAIR AND IN HER PURSE.
He simply shook his head at the Runes professor. Poor old bloke didn't know any better and clearly needed his eyes checked.
In all the commotion he, unfortunately, did not notice the arrival of the rest of his colleagues - although Cecelia's voice somewhat registered far off in the distance - and had his eyes LOCKED on the feline that Cassiopeia was foolishly snuggling up to. And then his point was proven. RIGHT THERE! SEE! HE HAD TOLD HER SO!
But before he could point this out, and mention to Cecelia that treatment would need to be immediate, the black cat transformed into...
"SWEET SOLSTICE! ARE YOU BLOOMIN' JOKING?!" he half groaned half laughed when he saw that the cat was in fact Maddox. "I didn't know you could do that." Airey was still, by the way, sitting on Javy's lap at this point and ever so slowly becoming aware of this fact.
And then it all clicked. Maddox KNEW that the astronomer had a fear of the feline variety...this had all been one big set up. If Airey wore gloves, he would have thrown one down on the ground right this instant - it looked like something fun to do from what he had seen in old muggle films. The Charms professor had just declared a prank war and Airey was more than willing to rise to the occasion.
"And you've got no business turning into a cat and sleeping on my seat," he retorted, glancing over his shoulder at Javy. Speaking of being places he ought not to be... "If it's any consolation, Javy, you were quite comfortable." Cue a look towards Maddox. UNLIKE some others who could afford to be a more comfortable pillow if they insisted on sleeping places.
Standing, Airey retrieved a lint roller from his enchanted breast pocket and proceeded to roll it vigorously over his bum, down either leg, over his bum again, down the other leg, and finishing up - once again - with his bum. "You do recall that the seats are in alphabetical order, yeah? C comes AFTER A...down that way," he instructed, lint roller tucked away and pointing in the OTHER direction.
Adjusting his tie and trying to regain some sort of composure and dignity Airey finally took proper notice of the school's Healer and his brow furrowed. "You...didn't hold up your end of our deal," he said while dramatically pointing at the woman. What was she doing last term at the end of term feast? Slithering into a hole somewhere to avoid the stellar ensemble he had put together for her?
Bad form, Healer Murdoch. BAD FORM.
