"Isn't that so unfair?'' Adi asked innocently. ''We could change that, you know, Professor. You and I can create a secret passage. With your awesome magical skills and my er, encouragement we could have a brand new passage to add to the Castle.'' Hehe. Preferably from somewhere close to the Puffer common room. So what did ya think, Professor?!
...
In the meanwhile, the sixth year signed the adoption parchment with a flourish. "Here you go, Professor.'' And he would laugh. Accordingly. Most likely. It was probably a guarantee that he WOULD laugh...and if it were any other Hufflepuff he would then assume that the boy had fallen victim to a well placed hex during a duel.
"Spoiler alert, Mr. Rehman. But life is not fair," he winked. So wear a helmet and deal with the blows. The astronomer certainly had. Still was, actually, with every single shuttle launch. "I will make no such thing nor will I endorse it." Honestly. Hufflepuffs. "But need I remind you that the Headmistress said at the end of last term that Cartography Club would continue?" Or was the prefect selling Hogwarts and her secrets short? Hmmm? Merlin knew what discoveries there would be this term, so until then - and hopefully until his post at Hogwarts was finished - he would not have to deal with THAT headache. And he had great confidence in the Fat Lady as well. Charming portrait, truly.
"Very good, you're all set," he saluted, placing the young man's rock of choice into its carrier and handing it over along with an owner's manuel (vintage, by the way) and some rock candy. "Congratulations. You are now the proud owner of a pet rock." SPOILER!!: poor poor Henric XD and the support group is in this bit too Quote:

Henric never been deducted for anything before in his years in Hogwarts! He felt more than unjustly. "Prof-professor, I-I d-didn't m-mean to insult your f-fine collection of pet rocks or even pebbles, I r-really didn't mean to,"Henric stuttered,before staring down on the floor while trying to keep his back straigtened and his hands firmly placed behind him. He couldn't believe he lose housepoints for it.Darn it...Henric...you did it this time.Henric felt dissapointed in himself.They were both right, Henric was truly at fault here.
Henric was touched by Adi who tried to cover for his mistake.He shook his head,"No no..its entirely my fault, I wasn't thinking straight...I mean no disrespect of any kind,professor..Sir....I'm sorry Professor Flamsteed,Adi and.."he paused to look at his pet rock named,Pebbles,"..I'm sorry Pebbles..." he muttered quietly, feeling very sorry indeed.
Squint. SQUINT. SQUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUINT.
Counting backwards from ten in his head, in Klingon, the Astronomy professor tried one of Medea's suggested breathing techniques before he spoke again. "Apology," he said firmly, folding his arms across his chest and glancing back and forth between the Hufflepuff and Pebbles. She didn't see terribly upset by the whole thing. "...accepted."
The tightness of his brow and stern features suddenly softened, as if someone had flicked their wand and made it so. His blue eyes nonchalantly glazed over the students who had come to reassure the Hufflepuff - a touching scene, of course - and he simply shook his head. "No matter the intent, all words and actions have their consequences," he calmly replied. "The comroderie I see here is quite stellar, by the way, but you," he turned towards Mr. Nicolei now. "Will meet me at my office after your last class of the day tomorrow to discuss how to rectify all misgivings that have occurred this evening." SPOILER!!: blue hair, excellent choice. Yes. Excellent Quote:

Approaching the table cautiously, the fifth year was pleasantly surprised to find a LOVELY spread of rocks. Yes one of these would look very nicely in terms of a study buddy. "Evening Professor," Tia acknowledged once he was free from dealing with her peers. Well that would figure that the Astronomy Professor was leading up this whole adoption fair; he didn't want to be the sole eccentric person in the castle being the only person with a pet rock. "Perhaps you could help me find just the right pet rock. I'm looking for one to give me that positive energy I need when feeling down from my OWL studies. A pet that will give me that instant boost, but doesn't require the ... demands of a crup or kneazle." While the latter were adorable, she couldn't make the commitment to their care this year. "I was thinking one of these colourful ones? OR perhaps that one with blue hair?"
"Good evening, Miss Mancini," he greeted the Ravenclaw. "Well, the good news is that all of these rocks have been trained in the art of parchment and textbook place holding. Which means they will more than willingly assist you with your studying." He glanced down at the pet rock in question and smiled. "A fine choice, indeed. Although you may need to show a bit of patience with her when studying and not fault her should a parchment or two escape her watchful googly eyes."
She was a bit smaller than some of the others, after all. SPOILER!!: OUR PADAWAN! Quote:

Pet Rock Adoption in the Entrance?
Hell yes Aegis would do this!! Anything to be more like his his Idol and Head of House.
The Gryffindor made his way to the Entrance of the Great Hall and looked around to finally spot the Blonde Savior of all the Lions! "Professor!" Aegis spoke loudly and confidently while his face beamed and he waved to him doofishly. Aegis then strode over making sure to let his robes flow behind him some and show off his awesome suit. "Professor Sir Flamsteed, I would like to Adopt all the Noble Pet Rocks!"
It seemed that no matter how many times he corrected Mr. Dane, the Gryffindor never seemed quite able to drop the sir when greeting the astronomer. But again, he would do so.
"Just Professor Flamsteed will do," he chuckled, his blue eyes widening at the eager young man's words. ALL?! He nearly clutched his heart with shock. "I'll tell you what, Mr. Dane. I'll take you up on that offer come end of term if not all of these have found new homes." He would hate to deny anyone the opportunity to adopt from these and creating new ones just seemed irresponsible. "You can, however, adopt one of your choice now."
So, which would it be? Hmmm? Quote:

May I hold him?" The small girl asked quietly adding a second later. "Do I need to sign anything to prove I adopted him?" She had seen another girl filling out papers or something before. "But of course," he beamed, gingerly handing the rock over to the Slytherin. "Oh yes. Just sign your name here at the bottom after reading over the plegde."

The smile from the adult there - Roo assumed that he was a Professor, otherwise he was somewhat creepy - was somewhat soothing and the Ravenclaw returned it. "Bronwyn. Rooney Bronwyn. I'm n--not.. I'm not Mr. Rooney." And he hadn't been named after one either, not matter what muggle history would suggest.
He was definitely half named after a kangaroo. "I would like to know more about the rocks, please, Mr.. -- Are you one of the Professors here? How much care does a rock need? Will it buy into my homework time? Do you think we can schedule parent and rock groups to learn and share our rock stories?" All questions that would have gone into his notebook, had he not have lost it.
If he was the sentimental sort, he would be wiping away tears from his eyes. This young man had shown such a genuine curiosity and inquisitive passion for rock care...it was quite the first impression!
"I would apologize for the formalities," he mused, rubbing the back of the next while looking down at the rocks. "But they are a necessity between professor and student." Which also answered his first question. "If you prefer I can call you Mr. Bronwyn, however." Since that was apparently the actual last name of the young man.
"They are the ultimate pet for the busy student, not needing to be fed, walked, bathed, or groomed unless you, as the owner, wish to do so. Nor will they die, become sick, or be disobedient. And, if I do say so myself, are stellar listeners." Parent and pet rock groups though, now that was something he had not thought about. Interesting. "Actually, as I was telling Miss Mancini just a moment ago, they are all trained as parchment and textbook place holders. Perfect study partners." Quote:

Ah, so this man was his Head of House? that explained a lot. “Thank you Professor.” His face flushed a little at the congratulations. “Is a Head of House a boss or something?” he obviously wasn’t familiar with all the rules and whatnot yet, especially because Charms school was nothing compared to Hogwarts. “And do you also teach a subject here or are you just a boss man? ….Professor?” he added.
Looking at the stones at the table again, Yoongi wondered what this best investment was. He had heard Hady asking about adoption. He picked a black colored stone and the little eyes rolled around. To his eyes, this was very adorable and for a second he forgot that it was ….a stone…a simple stone… He held the stone to his face and looked up at the Professor “This stone looks cute like me right?” he eye-smiled. “What can they do?” they had to be magical stones right? The astronomer smirked.
"But of course. I payed special attention to your sorting." Gryffindor, after all. The man was only slightly biased towards such things. A boss? He supposed that was one way of putting it, but not entirely correct. "As Gryffindor Head of House, it means I am responsible for all students and their actions who have been sorted into it. I also serve as an academic and personal adviser to students."
Get it? Got it? Stellar.
"I teach Astronomy, as a matter of fact," he said, his tone implying that it explained his fascination with rocks completely. Because it did, if one was familiar with how the astronut thought that is. But he merely raised an eyebrow at the cute comment and loosened his tie a little. "They," he said, clearing his throat a bit. "...can be and do anything that you wish."
As long as you were willing to use your imagination a little, of course. SPOILER!!: and this affectionate snakette
[QUOTE=VRSCIKA;11749650] SPOILER!!: New Friend xD Quote:

Decided on which rock you want as yet?'' Here was another chance to make another friend and he was going to snap it up.

Originally Posted by FearlessLeader19 She was rather surprised when the student (Adi) that was being loud earlier, continued speaking to her. It was not always easy for her to interact with people, but she felt she was doing a good job of it today. The strikingly sleek ones on the right side of the table had drawn her in and she knew which one it would be. She gently picked up a large, smooth black one that was slightly different from the others. "This one , I think. He looks toad friendly." Or at least, she thought it should be a 'he'? He, she....it? She was just going to go with he unless the Professor corrected her. "Thank you very much Professor. This is the most informative adoption fair that I have ever been to." Not that......she had ever been to one. So, what she said was true. She had a feeling that it might be encouraging to him to add that though. "If I may, I think I must adopt this fellow here then." She delicately petted the shiny black rock in her hand with one finger. Ilia wasn't quite sure what had happened at first and was very surprised. Henric did know the other boy (Adi) after all, and he was standing up for him. She didn't fully understand points, how many were in relation to anything, or how bad that reduction was.....but it couldn't be a good thing. Poor Henric was stuttering and it seemed unfair. She felt a bit guilty in this, he probably wouldn't have even been over here if it wasn't for her telling him that she would be. He was her first friend in this country and she couldn't just stand there and let him get in trouble without trying. The tall , blonde fourteen year old looked up at the Professor imploringly with the prettiest blue puppy eyes she could muster. "Pardon me, Professor Flamsteed Sir." She had heard the students referring to him as that. "I'm very sorry that what he said seemed offensive to Miss Pebbles and her lovely choice of style, but he didn't mean it in that way. Not everyone can pull off that color as she can and I think he only meant it wouldn't look right on our toad like it does on her." Ilia was often a very quiet girl that rarely spoke more than necessary, but for Henric she found her voice. However silly any of it might have seemed to her later, her apology and explanation were very sincere and she hoped that it might, just possibly, mean something to the Professor. This was a surprising day for Ilia. The boy she had met in the ice cream parlor had not only greeted her, but walked over to her. She supposed he might not dislike her as much as she thought he might. She watched him get sorted , a Gryffindor , the lion house....red and gold colors. Maybe he was too excited to watch the rest of the sortings? "It seems I am in Slytherin." She was in the house of snakes, silver and green. "Congratulations on being in Gryffindor." She bowed politely. People here seemed to expect more than only an answer to the question that they asked, so she tried. People here seemed very strange to her.
He glanced down at her selection. "A stellar choice," he saluted, reaching for another one of the adoption pledges and handing it to her. He was not sure if this young woman had a bit of brown on her nose, or whether her words were genuine. It could be quite difficult to get a proper reading on Slytherin students - he ought to know, he had grown up with one for a sister - but he was very much flattered nonetheless.
