"Sure am! I even brought along a few extra things, just in case," Heather replied to the librarian, indicating the water jug she was carrying. One should always be prepared for anything when camping, which she assumed that's what they were doing. If not, then, well, oops.

Awkward boy was still awkward. Oh well, it was no skin off her back. Though, she had to wonder why he was that way. It couldn't have been because of his girlfriend, because Heather was pretty sure the girl would've come after
her if she'd had a problem with them dancing at the ball. Anyway he got a nod back.

Although he really ought to have opted to change into his wetsuit rather than wear it under his freshly pressed baby blue suit. But in the, ahem, adventures of the morning it had just seemed like the best solution. However constricting it was at the moment. Having left their home with nothing but knots in his stomach, Airey had hoped that presence of students would put his anxieties at ease...but it only seemed to intensify as he looked upon each of their faces. Those youthful and highly impressionable faces.
Shaking his head and rubbing the back of his neck, the Astronomy professor reached into his backpack for a packet of space ice cream - mint chocolate chip, for anyone who cared to know - and quickly tore into it. He had been working with muggle children all summer at the National Space Centre, with a few wizarding youths thrown into the mix, and may have splurged a bit on some of the goods in the gift shop. Just a bit. Ahem.
Allowing the freeze dried deliciousness to melt in his mouth, he took one last deep breath. "Hello hello!" he roared in greeting. "Stellar day for a bit of a swim, isn't it?" Saluting students as he went, the astronomer went to stand near Leobald and Javy. "Good day, gentlemen," he saluted, the knots tightening in his stomach again. A field trip without Medea....and her alone in their home wishing to extend their family tree even further. Sweet solstice what was he going to come home to?! "Travel in three groups, is it? Portkey for the each of us?"
This was going to help his stomach soooooooooooooo much.
Note to self: be as far away as possible from Professor Flamsteed when portkeying.
"Hello, Professor Flamsteed," Heather greeted her Head of House, returning his salute. Thank goodness, he made the suggestion of traveling in three groups. Elbows in her side didn't sound like fun, and she had enough problems with portkeying anyway. Wasn't so great at the landing part. Always fell over and falling on someone was never a good feeling.
