SPOILER!!: Maddox

"I hope we're allowed to get in on THAT" NOT the whole killing children thing but the jumping from the tower! 'Course they did that way back when SHE had ruled the school but it hadn't exactly been professor approved back then. Dull lot, they were. NOT like the professors now. AHEM. They were COOL.

Oh and look, Maddox was already getting on well with the students. *SNORT*

SPEAKING of the little lion cubs, those with good manners ~~or some deep need to suck up to their professors~~ were being polite and saying hello to their elders. "Professor Moxley," Meredith said with a good old waaaave of her hand and toothy grin. "I'll be your muggle studies guide." How excited were THEY right now? SO EXCITED, obviously. And look, one asked how her summer was. "Summer was grrrr-eat! Took some salsa dancing lessons with my guy," She announced, doing a little one-woman demonstration just so they could see what a NATURAL born dancer she was. "I know, right?" She said in response to what would CLEARLY be looks of awe. "The moves just come so naturally."

SPOILER!!: lol Adorable Zander and the lying professor

So yuuuup. Making his way over to them right now, actually. "Hi, uh, I'm Zander Adair and you're uh, both new Professors this year, right?" He had seen them at the staff table, riiiiiiight? Just checking. Didn't need to be totally mortified here, people. Though, he couldn't remember what subjects they were in charge of. If it was Herbology, then he already had something against you, so hopefully not that one. Everything else was safe though. Heh. But, they didn't need to know that yet. "Welcome to Hogwarts by the way!" He would add a 'and Gryffindor' in there too, but if they were in the Common Room now, he figured they must've had some previous exposure to the house. So that would be saved for another time.

Didn't really matter either, the man could use a distraction from the concept of jumping from this dangerous height. Honestly, whose great idea was it to make such a thing as heights ANYWAY??

At the greeting Maddox studied the boy for another moment before giving a regrettable shake of his head. " 'Fraid you've wasted your greeting, son. I'm the new Caretaker. Mer, here, is the new Professor. Your Head of House brought me here to check that the ropes are workin' fine but I see he's already got you lot jumping so there's nothing I can really do now except maybe enjoy the food then turn in early." He glanced around the room just for the heck of it then looked to the boy again.

"You're one of them fancy Prefects, right? You'll let me know if anything needs repairing?"

And then Airey happened.

Maddox wasted no time in removing the man's hand from his shoulder before this got completely out of hand. "As fun as this all sounds, it's like I've explained to the boy. Not a Professor. No need for me to do the jump. I was here to check the ropes and that one kid screaming my eardrums off just proved that they're functional." And a COUPLE steps taken away from the astronut for his own safety because Airey was the type to throw you through a window...or so he would tell everyone and worse if he had to.

"I can just...uh...enjoy the food--I can help the students enjoy the food. It's not problem for me. Honestly."

Funny choice of wording given everything he'd done all night but yes, honestly. Honestly, Airey better back away from him before they both regretted it. ~~Not hyperventilating either. The subtle but strained breathing...the air was just a little thin up here was all.~~

Whaaaaat a little suck-up, Zander Adair was. Meredith approved, of course. Meant the badged blonde would probably do whatever she asked to get on her good side. "Pleasure to meet you, Zander. Professor Meredith Moxley, Muggle Studies." She reached out and gave the boy a rather aggressive pat on the shoulder and beamed at him, trying not to SNORT when Maddox went on to tell the kid her was the groundskeeper, of all things.

"I think the best way our new groundskeeper here could test the ropes is to get out there himself, am I right?" She gave expectant looks to the kid for back up and then grinned at her buddy. Serves him right for lion (GEDDIT? Lion...lyin...LULZ) to impressionable young Hogwartians.

Annnnd about time to test just how desperate little blondie was to please the professors. The brunette made a sound resembling that of a kicked puppy and held a hand to her throat, making her voice extra croaky as she announced, "My throat is suddenly so scatchy. I could sure use a beverage."

SPOILER!!: Airey!

You could always count on good old Rocketman to be thinking along the same lines as she was and when the man suggested they take their turns jumping, Meredith nodded very seriously.

"It's only right we get it over with so the kids can get back to their fun. I think my friend right here should be a gentleman and show me how it's done so I won't have any questions when it's my turn." She batted her eyelashes at Maddox and then winked at Airey. Yes, she was in on this plan.

SPOILER!!: AJ

And look, another person inquiring if they'd be jumping. It simply HAD to be done now! "Why we were JUST discussing that, actually. Where do we get into line?"

As long as he didn't go all feline here in the common room the astronomer wouldn't force the man to... ...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.

The man... well, he was a sight for sore eyes. What thought just went through her mind? Merlin, she needed to get that under control. AJ was not boy crazy, and she had boyfriend and the guy was old. Old and hot. No, no, NO. What subject was he teaching again? AJ's thoughts went back to the feast, but she couldn't remember who was doing what, and she didn't see his face that close up. And this conversation with herself was over. "Hey new professors... will you be joining us?" Her eyes lingered over the contraption that she was dying to get on. And look, another person inquiring if they'd be jumping. It simply HAD to be done now! "Why we were JUST discussing that, actually. Where do we get into line?" __________________
