... wow... just... wow. This was like one of those comedy plays he used to attend, or no-- better yet, this was like one of those children plays he went to with his kids and now his grandkids. A pink fairy, an argument with some utterly disrespectful attitudes, and then a happy woman with a dress. Very entertaining and confusing, he couldn't believe this were people he worked with, things were so different back in the WU. Not that he was complaining! He thought everyone were different and special in their own way.

"Do you spend every summer in Egypt, Abraham?" She thought she recalled hearing him do that at least once before. "Jason and I had a quiet summer, no big trips or anything like that. A lot of home improvement, though, especially in the gardens. Met Leobald in Diagon Alley to get everything we needed for Ravenclaw Tower." At least they had stayed within budget.

Oh shucks, the old man's wrinkly cheeks gained some color at her praising once again. He patted her arm gratefully, the cute little girl she was ~~anyone who was younger than sixty was little to him~~. "Yes. I've lived there with my wife and kids ever since I started teaching at the WU there, so that makes it.." He scrunched up his eyebrows trying to conjure the memory. ".. forty years? We have a big house there in Alexandria. We all gather there for the summer, my kids and my kids' kids." He beamed happily. No need to mention that he moved here back to London when he started teaching at Hogwarts. He supposed it was obvious. Good thing he hadn't sold his place here when they moved to Egypt, though. Debby was always right about things.

Professor Tanner's plans seemed quite lovely even though they didn't involve any traveling or exotic adventures. She was a newly married woman, she needed time to ease into this new life. He smiled and nodded, "Sounds like a busy enough summer--" But they both were cut off by a kid pointing out the commotion at the Ravenclaw table. Oh Merlin. "Go ahead, dear." He told professor Tiara with a friendly wave.

It wasn't really a promotion, right? The term caught in his throat regardless. Airey reached into his enchanted breast pocket and retrieved a box with a yellow ribbon tied around in in the sloppiest looking bow imaginable - if one could even recognize that it was, in fact, a bow. "It's a muggle device that stirs your tea for you. No need for you to lift your wand or spoon to do it yourself. Will save you some, er, energy."

Sliding the box down the table towards him while skillfully avoiding all the plates and silverware, the astronomer was NOW ready to tuck into his mean when Miss Wright approached the table. "I DIDN'T DO IT!" he proclaimed, both arms up when the Ravenclaw appeared to be in a bit of a panic - which tended to be because of him. And, for once, it wasn't because of him. HOORAY FOR SMALL VICTORIES!

... hmm? Yes? Botros stretched himself a little forward to look at the Star Man. "Oh?" Aw! He got him a gift for his new position! Abraham watched admirably as Airey got a big box out of his breast pocket. Marvellous enchantment work, by the way. "Oh wow, that is an impressive gift!" He must've remembered that Ab had this little obsession with tea.

"I think I'm going to open it right now." He started unfolding the ribbon and the opening the lid, "You didn't have to do that, though. Thank you, that's very generous and nice of you." He had happy wet eyes as he took the mug out and turned it around to inspect it. Oh very lovely. He set it up on the table by his plate and quickly reached to give Flamsteed's head a sideways not-at-all-awkward hug with a few back pats. "Thank you, son." Botros thought deep, friendly signals were transferred via hugs, it was the next important thing in mannerism after shaking hands.
