 astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf
Oh no...OOOOOOOOOOOOH NO NO NO NO! He saw that, Headmistress. The longing looks you were throwing at his pet rock and the cackling!
The astronomer, like a mother hen, pulled on Pebbles' leash so that she was right there next to his foot. There was no way he would allow her aaaaaanywhere near Pebbles and certainly not unsupervised. He had SEEN how that turned out - COMPLETE AND UTTER ABANDONMENT!
She could get her own pet rock.
Bowing his head awkwardly towards her and the other professors as they arrived, he knelt down to scoop her up into his arms just as Cassiopeia spoke to him. He honestly could not tell if she was trying to be funny or if she was really that unobservant about how his relationship to the feline species. Had she so easily forgotten the events that had unfolded at various start of term feasts? Especially this one. Blasted Maddox, "I already have all the company I need," he explained as he pet Pebbles on her rocky head. The polite thing to do would be to say thank you...but...felines.
And then, ironically, he was saved by the Headmistress getting the ball rolling. "Roger that. I'll take my group to the Gryffindor common room and Astronomy tower," he saluted, echoing the Headmistress' request with a bit of specifics. Oh, look at that! It seemed he had his group all set as well, thanks to the organizational skills of Miss Brown. "Which looks to be myself, Miss Brown, Mr. Adair, and Pebbles. To start." Plus, you know, whatever strays they caught along the way.
He ventured a quick glance towards the pair, just long enough to throw them a casual salute before his attention went back to the Headmistress.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...break?
