There is a bit here that goes around the waist. It's there for increased security. Personally charmed everything myself. Compleeeeeeeetely sa---"

But before he could finish his sentence, he heard the creaking of the Fat Lady's portrait opening and the hustle of shoes against the stone floor.

"THEY ARE COMING!" he manly squealed as he shooed her away from where he stood. Seeing the first bright-eyed and bushy tailed student step foot in the common room proper, Airey threw the crowd of students a confident salute just before he leaped off the platform into the darkness of the night while shouting, "WELCOME TO GRYFFINDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!"

Oh, well, with the presence of the second portion of the harness... didn't really do much to settle her unease about bungee jumping out of the Gryffindor tower window. Then again, she had been reminded that Airey charmed everything himself. It wasn't like he'd do something to put the students in danger.

They're coming? Oh! Stepping down from the window, her gaze snapped towards the opening portrait entrance. Aw, the students. Though why did she have to...

!!!!!

Bianca had entered the common room ready for the party that had taken place last term. This time she had prepared a camera. But this was a different party for sure because Bianca was like... 95% sure the professor hadn't jumped out of the tower on the first night.

Wait. Was this a plan of sorts?

"Welp. Guess he got out of teaching us all." Bianca shrugged and readjusted her camera strap. She looked at the other professor who was not dead and smiled. She wiggled her fingers. "Hey Professor, how was your summer?"

Cause you know, that one had a future unlike the dead one.

She didn't push him, she'd swear!!

Fidget.

"Helloooooo Miss Caruso," she sang out softly, wiggling her fingers back towards the fifth year. Har har har, nothing to see heeere. "It vos very nice." Yup, ahem. "I hope you had a vonderful summer yourself."

Did she totally just forget to confirm that Airey wasn't dead?

Yup.

Once the password of the term was said, the fifth year stepped inside only to the sound of yelling. He had obviously missed something and Benny couldn't help but be curious as to what it was. His attention though was momentarily drawn to his surroundings though.

Certainly lion-rrific.

Home sweet home.

"Good evening, Professor Romanos," he greeted as he spotted the woman by a window. A glance around and he noticed Professor Flamsteed was nowhere around. Um...was he the cause of the yelling?

As more lions tickled into the common room, Medea fidgeted even more, simultaneously inching away from the window as well as trying to subtly see just when Airey would be making his reappearance. In one piece, mind you.

"Oh, velcome back Mister Atreyu," she smiled sweetly to the Gryffindor, letting her nerves play out through finger fidgeting rather than facial expressions. "How vos your summer?"

Hogwarts was winning him over quickly, and it was also a big help that there were so many pretty ladies here.

Before he could about exploring the Common Room, some weirdo jumped out the Window. Wasn't he one of the Professor sitting up at the Dias?

"WHOA! DOES THAT MEAN ONE LESS CLASS THIS TERM!?!?"
Aegis blurted out in total awe of the situation, then quickly added.
"Can I go NEXT!?!" The Night was young still, and that meant his Birthday was not over yet! What a way to close your 16th Year on Earth.

HE...what...!!!

....

Just how long did the bungee jump last??? Airey gave better instructions on this...

Bianca was amazing okay.

AMAZING. But Flamsteed was not dead, “Baaaabe no, no!” She shook her head still laughing, “he’s not dead. Nope. He has a bungee cord on” did she snort? Nope. Well maybe. But still, she made her way into the room and smiled to Professor Romanos. “Hey Professor Romanos” Puck grinned over to her and then turned to eye the food.

"Good evening, Prefect Greyvson," she greeted warmly in return, 'cause that's what normal people did during normal situations where there was no need for panicking. So. People can just.... not panic. Like her. She wasn't panicking because things were safe and stuff.

Normal. Hello. Pleasantries.

After a second or two ~~or ten~~ seconds, he adjusted to the flaming common room enough to see CUPCAKES! Awesome. He went over and helped himself to one.

Wait. What happened? He glanced toward the window. Did he just--? Apparently. Hm. "Are we all allowed to do that?" Because that looked like fun.

WERE THEY ALLOWED TO DO THAT??

Yes, actually.

"In a moment, perhaps..." she trailed off. Perhaps. Maybe.

Still, shuffling forward a bit more and to the side to where he figured the line would be, he saw Professor Romanos, "Hiiii Professor," he beamed, "ooohh, and I have questions, so I'll be coming to see you sometime..." once he'd gathered his thoughts and written them all down. Or something that resembled organisation.

But um, yeah, innocent active little second year wanted a go on the bungee thing. The older kiddos ought to make concessions for him.

"I bags third in line!!!" Ahem, yeah, something like that. He was fidgety, pulling on the sleeve of his jumper since he'd already abandoned his silly black robes. Robes were so uncomfortable, how people wore them was beyond him.

Cue bouncing on the balls of his feet.

Oooh?

"Looking forvard to it, Mister Rogers," she somewhat saluted the youngster. Unless it was something she wasn't supposed to look forward to? Like sad questions? She could do those but, yeeeaaa. Those were sad.

Mostly because he had been on his way over to compliment the hard work the Professors had put into redoing the place, but now... Now he was just walking towards one Professor Romanos. And the discomfort couldn't be any more real. You'd think after a full term the boy would recover. Wrong. He didn't think she was evil anymore ~~she was mostly not evil~~, but still. After all his accusations, it was kind of hard to look into her eyes without feeling 10000% terrible about his terrible judgement. Ahem.

Anyways, he couldn't really turn back now that he made EYE CONTACT. So he continued over. How come once he became a Prefect, Professor Romanos had to be a part of the team? Granted, she was there last term too. BUT STILL. Couldn't they have waited until Zander graduated to give her the position or something? 'Cause awwwwwkwaaaaard. "Uh, hi Professor," he said smiling rather uncomfortably. Fancy seeing you here. No, he wouldn't say that. Lame. "The place looks great," totally great. Mhm. Yuuuuuuup. He stood around in uncomfortably silence, rocking back and forth at this point. Willing Professor Flamsteed to fly back up into the air. After all, what goes down must come up, right? PROFESSOR PLS.

Readjusting Chu Chu within her grasp, she'd made another glance towards the window, anticipating just when the astronomy professor would be making his next grand appearance. It had to have been only a few seconds since he lept off, but, it felt like an hour. Really.

Oh! Look who it was. "Good evening, Prefect Adair," she warmly smiled as she usually did, taking a moment to glance around the common room. "It certainly does. Though I'm sure it has nothing on the fun you possibly had this summer."

Maybe maybe??

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!"

AND LOOK AT THAT YES PROFESSOR AIREY WAS BACK! AND ALIVE.

Emphasis on the ALIVE part.

Practically hopping on the heels of her feet, nearly squishing Chu Chu in her hands, Medea beamed. Professor Airey was back, yes, she totally didn't panic. What. Taking a deep breath, she inched a little further away from the window since the spotlight was on him at the moment, though did pause to give a finger wiggle hello to the students as she was introduced.

Good evening to you alllllll.

Certainly an all-star way to start the term.
