This was only like the most awesome thing to happen, EVER. Why didn't they do this last year? Was this going to be a thing every year from now on? Was it only for tonight, or like, EVERY night?
"Professor," he started, wanting to ask ALL the questions in his head, only, there was a backlog of them and the only thing that came out was, "Aruuuhada good summer?"
Airey took a glance over his shoulder towards the platform and then back towards the young Gryffindor - not surprised at all that it was this one that was the first to wish to take the plunge.
"All yours, Mr. Zeke," he said as he stepped to the side and gestured towards it. "Just give the equipment a tap and it will do the rest." He had seen the way he had tapped it off with his wand, yes? Same thing. Observant young man like himself surely had caught on.
And he definitely had not caught...whatever it was that he had said there at the tail end. Something about good and summer - to which he could make an educated guess as to what the question had been. "Oh yes, stellar," he nodded as Mr. Zeke got himself all ready to bungee...and then did.
"WELL DONE!" he applauded as the boy bounced back up.

She stared around Zander's legs, peering at this strange apparition, Amur couldn't decide if she was amused or terrified. She was literally leaning forward, curious to see and hear how the others would respond to the command of 'roaring', when Zander's ruffling through the popcorn on her hand snapped her back to the present.
... He noticed the peeking and smiled at the youngster. He was blissfully unaware of how his antics came off to first years and transfers - not that he would change his behavior anyway - and threw her a confident smile and salute before her attention went back to Mr. Adair.
Her name...it was on the tip of his tongue... but he was drawing a blank at the moment and would have to try and oh-so-casually listen in on her conversations with others to figure it out. He was rather embarrassed that he had misplaced her name in his memory considering how intently he had been watching the Sorting...before a certain professor had gone all feline monster on him that is.
Which meant he had not been able to enjoy very much of the ceremony.

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. Grabbing a cup of chai tea from the table, Airey strolled over to Medea and offered it to her. "You ought to give it a go too, you know," he smirked with a nod of the head towards the platform where students were pushing and shoving lining up. "Can be your official initiation."
To more than just Gryffindor. Ahem.

The Moonlight coming through the window surrounded the Professor like a bright white aura as he struck his heroic pose. His Mouth gapping wide, and completely ignoring his whole speech. Aegis wanted to be this Man! Well he wanted to be his Uncle too, but also this guy, his poses that white Aura. He'd give up Quodpot, and pursuing Agatha Hapgood just to apprentice under this Wizarding God. Aegis knew where his feet were taking him as Professor Flamsteed raised his Mug for a Toast, he just decided not to stop them. He planted himself in front of the Also Blonde man and stared at him in amazement. "Teach Me" was all Aegis could muster up.
Airey was just about to take hold of Medea's hand to caaaaaaaasually lead her towards the bungee area when he turned and nearly fell over the Gryffindor boy standing right in front of him. Needing to catch his balance somehow, so that he didn't fall ON the poor kid, Airey placed both his hands firmly on his shoulders. Balanced regained, he chuckled and nodded his head. "That is what I am here for," he winked. "To teach."
Was in the job description of professor, you know?

Did anyone want to play pin-the-tail on the lion? Maybe he should head over there next...
...or marshmallows...
...or actually get Medea to bungee...
That last one. Definitely.

You see AJ was late by nature, and she had to say goodbye to her boyfriend, it was such a shame that he wasn't a lion, and those kind of things took time. They just did. The common room was pretty packed and as usual there were familiar and not so familiar faces, and oh my goodness what was that on the ledge? For once food didn't call to her first. Airey and Medea were both there. "Hello professors. I hope you guys had a sweet summer." Because she sure did. "And... I totally want a turn at that." Did they need permission or something?
... "Good evening, Miss Valentine!" he saluted the girl. "It was most enjoyable." And he even managed to not venture a glance towards Medea this time. "A bit busy with Astronomer Royal business and then National Space Centre work as well, but still stellar. I hope yours was relaxing and pleasant?"

No way, Sir. The gang was back together and in their old common room, no less! This. was. epic.
"Let's hope they have some good food, eh!" Never mind that they'd only JUST finished eating, she was ready for round two! She just DIDN'T get full. It was some sort of gift, honestly. Meredith nudged the man next to her as she complimented her way past the Fat Lady and into the common room.
"ROAR ROAR GRYFFINDORRRRR!"
...Aren't you glad you invited us, Airey?

Make no mistake, Maddox had thought of maybe a million reasons to give to Airey tomorrow about his absence but then Meredith was at his door.........and excited and her level of excitement was making his head hurt so he went without complaint.
The thought of food had him perking up a little though considering he'd skipped most of the feast --bloody sulking Ravenclaw making him feel bad. He'd probably have to fix it, later. "Looks good from where I'm standing." The food that is.
"And look, Airey's trying to kill the children, less to teach." Brilliant, no?
Maddox watched one particularly eager lion (Kevin) asking how things worked. "It's magic. You jump and hope the rope dives down to save you after. It's 50/50 but roar Gryffindor, right?"
"There you two are!" he beamed as his colleagues entered. As much as he wanted to go right into playful antics with the two, he reminded himself that he needed to keep things a bit more professional in front of students as best he could. Which was going to be incredibly difficult given their histories together. "Welcome back," he saluted the two, his eyes falling on Maddox while his nose wrinkled. No furry business, alright? As long as he didn't go all feline here in the common room the astronomer wouldn't force the man to...

"Oh but as a new Professor you probably don't know this but it is tradition to let them go first" without another word he jumped back in to the room and grabbed his arm. "Right AJ?" he asked her. He could use some help with trying to scare the man. ...well well WELL....
Wasn't this an interesting proposition coming from Mr. Hirase.
And since Maddox was the sort of person to set a sneakoscope off just by breathing, NOT TO MENTION THE ASTRONOMER NEEDED REVENGE, he was going to just go right along with the fourth year. "Yes, did I not include that in my message?" he asked, oh-so-innocently, as he made his way over to the Charms professor and laid an arm around the man's shoulders. "And since you are late and students are already enjoying yourselves, we must hurry up and get it done. You too, Meribe---Professor Moxley."
He figured Meriberry would just play along - and may have completely forgotten Maddox's fear of heights. Whoops.

... "Good evening, Mr. Atreyu," he saluted the fifth year. "Ready to tackle the term head on, I assume?" Tough year, fifth year was. Especially for the academically ambitious - which he had not been save for a handful of subjects.

Angel then suddenly realised that there were two professors she had never met in the room as well. "I hope you two had a great summer as well?"
... "Hello, Miss Valentine," he smiled at the young lioness. "Quite pleasant, thank you for asking." He was also rather pleased with himself that finally, FINALLY, he could tell the two girls apart...and most definitely tell them apart from their teenage angsty Ravenclaw sister as well.

"Your services are not needed, however you are more than welcome to stay and get to know students. Perhaps try your hand at one of the games." Or...bungee? Did house elves even do that? He was not about to order the little fellow to do so, he wasn't THAT cruel. That cruelty would be reserved for Maddox only. Heh. "And please, help yourself to some of the sweets and tea."
On the TABLE and not out of people's hands.
