She took a few deep breaths. This time she was going to be confident and brave. She would go and talk to people, and she wouldn’t start crying in front of Flamsteed or anything like that. She could do this. Whatever task Professor Flamsteed assigned her to, she would do. Penelope was ready.

Having convinced herself that she was ready to face Professor Flamsteed and everyone that she might have to talk to, Penelope pulled out and started to read, waiting for the suited astronomy professor to show up. It was unlikely that she would miss it when he showed up, given that he was not one for quiet entrances. Flamsteed would already be at the staff table. Maybe she should get that cat fur off of her robes… Eyes still focused on her book, Penelope reached into her pocket for a lint roller. Okay, now it was gone. No, she couldn’t focus on the book anymore. Penelope closed the book and put it away in one of her pockets that was magically enlarged on the inside. She was going to watch the doors so she would see when Flamsteed was coming.

Leaving the staff table briefly before the Headmistress gave her speech, the Astronomy professor made his way through the Great Hall with the box of rocks and pamphlets levitating behind him. Lowering it to the table with his wand, he turned and looked for the Ravenclaw and a grin instantly crept across his face.

Excellent. This was going to be a five fwoopers with one stone sort of evening.

And yes, the rock references and puns were likely to be a THING this evening.

"Miss Wright, stellar to see you. I trust you had a good rest of the summer," he greeted as he began gingerly taking rocks out of the box and setting them on the table in neat little rows. "Here, takes these pamphlets and go hand them out to people," the pet rock enthusiast instructed, handing her a stack of parchment. "I'll make sure and arrange things here. We'll need to be efficient with our time...and close up shop briefly when the Headmistress makes her speech...but when in doubt, we ought to be able to catch the crowd as they make their way out of the Great Hall and to their dormitories for the night."

And since he knew a few short cuts, he could still make it back to the Gryffindor common room before the prefects got there with the rest of the house in tow.
