"Yahooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
Sticking a perfect 10 point landing as he swung back up to the platform, the astronomer shot the crowd of students a grin powered by pure adrenaline and threw an overly enthusiastic salute that nearly knocked him right back off the platform once again. But it did not. He was totally and completely composed.
If you squinted at him.
"GOOD EVENING, GRYFFINDOR!" he shouted, both arms held out wide as if to bask in the light of the moon. "Welcome to Gryffindor all our newly sorted housemates and welcome back to all those returning. For those who do not know me, I am Professor Flamsteed. You may also call me Professor Airey if it rolls off your tongue easier. I am the professor of Astronomy here at Hogwarts as well as your Head of House." Cue a triumphant pose at these words. Still not falling off the platform though. "The woman over there with the slightly disgruntled expression on her charming face," he continued, gesturing towards Medea who he imagined was still not pleased with the bungee activity. "Is Professor Romanos, your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and my House Assistant. I imagine that Sir Nicholas, Gryffindor's house ghost, will be along in a bit as well to meet you all, assuming you did not already meet him at the feast"
Introductions done he removed his wand from his enchanted breast pocket and gave the bungee equipment a firm tap with the wand. It instantly fell off his body and onto the platform in a neat pile. "The night is yours, Gryffindors. So jump right into your new home and enjoy it until you pass out!"
And he would appreciate it if they would do said passing out in their own beds. Sleep over in the common room was last term. Not that anyone would be punished for sleeping out here, of course.
Hopping off the platform and back through the window, he reached over and grabbed a cup of hot something - he didn't bother looking to see what it was - he raised his mug to the room. "Cheers to a stellar term and keeping the Gryffindor legacy alive! Roar roar Gryffindor!"
