Maddox would just be grumbly and annoyed if the Astronomy professor showed up at game night with standard muggle cards. Which would, of course, mean that Airey would have no choice but to show the Charms professor a few tricks of the trade. Perhaps some repeats of his favorites.
Sweet solstice....eeeeeeeeeeeeeer...
"............aaaaaaaaaaa....very firm grasp on reality," he said, wiping his brow with his hand and offering the young Gryffindor an awkwardly cheeky smile.
Oh....so it was going to be a bit of heavy conversation today, was it? And he did not have the comfort of his office and a nice warm cup of tea to hold up to his face to cover up the nervous twitching of the corner of his lips. "I see," he said as he flopped himself down into a bean bag chair...and nearly got lost in it. Legs flailing about a bit as he finally situated himself, he patted the bean bag chair next to him. Despite having worked at Hogwarts for some time now, THESE sorts of conversations continued to be extremely difficult for him to handle. "Perhaps, all that your friend needed was that shoulder you offered..."
Angel looked at the Professor and smiled. "I'm sorry Professor but I haven't seen them." Angel said truthfully, she wished that she could help him but alas she couldn't so she decided that she would just add. "If I see them around, I will let you know."
Angel then listened to him. "Well I'm glad that you do." Angel hoped that he had but she had a feeling that wasn't what he was going to say but she wasn't going to press him because otherwise the Professor might get annoyed.
Angel watched as the Professor sat down and she sat in the bean bag next to him. "I hope so Professor." Angel didn't know what else she could do to help her friend because she wasn't that experienced in matters like this. "We'll just have to wait and see." Angel would just have to keep an eye on things and hope for the best.
