And now the staircase is going crazy and has trapped Professor Flamsteed and a couple of students in for an unexpected roller coaster ride:

The astronomy merely shrugged. He was fairly certain the Charms professor never really mounted a broom - certainly had never seen the bloke at quidditch tryouts, that was for sure. He tried to recall the Flying lessons he had observed...and briefly recalled a first year who would go no further than a foot or two off the ground. Had that been Maddox? Perhaps he ought to ask him while they had their weekly game night.

Besides, he was much more interested in the next part of their conversation to linger on Professor Scaredy-Cat. "I am not sure I recall," he replied, tapping his chin and looking upwards. Only he did, but what was the fun in revealing that information when a NEW generation may produce a very different outcome. "We could always...hypothesize and then test out said theories. All in the name of science, of course." Wink.

A Slytherin, huh? He probably did not know her father then. Stayed away from the green bunch whenever he could. Ironic since Daphne had been sorted there.

But before he could respond, the staircases started acting completely insane. He had just enough time to pull one of his legs completely away, his left was a little slow on the uptake, and the toes on his left foot unfortunately fell victim to the stone crashing against stone.

"FUDGESTICKS! FISSION! FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSION" he howled as he rocked back and smacked his head against the ground. Howling a bit more as the crashing of the staircases continued, he heard more alarmed voices coming from below (????). Rolling on to his side to peer through the gaps in the banisters, he noticed two Slytherins - and a house elf - battling with the staircases as well.

Rolling now on to his other side, he unceremoniously plopped Pebbles in the Gryffindor's lap and offered a ridiculously over dramatic salute. "Take good care of her, Miss Neverwinter," he instructed. "Don't abandon her should the worst happen like the Headmistress did when dementors attacked." That woman was NEVER living that down. NEVER. Not even after he had given her a festive mug as a thank you for his staff promotion.

Hobbling a bit - thanks to some broken toes - the Astronomy professor too a gallant leap onto the wild staircase and somersaulted down a few steps before coming to a stop.

"Not to worry!" he exclaimed while clinging to the banister as the staircase continues to toss itself around haphazardly. "Help is WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH Help is on the way!"

Was this what riding one of those mechanical bull things at some of those muggle pubs was like? He would take astronaut training and spinning around on the gyroscope for hours over this ANY day.

Not taking much note of their occupants the staircases zoomed again. Efficiency was the order of the day. Happy to serve. The stairs will get you where you WANT TO GO and will do it with a little flair to boot.
