Copernicus knew what else she had dragged up with her.
And it was all touching his suit. SHE was touching his suit. THERE WAS A BOUNDARY BEING BREACHED RIGHT NOW BETWEEN STUDENT AND PROFESSOR!
One that he only broke with graduating seventh years. And apparently under the influence of certain potions.
Instead of doing the civil thing and answering her questions, the astronomer found his voice in the form of a shrill SCREAM that echoed throughout the Astronomy Tower and beyond.

Rowan took a step back from Professor Flamsteed, tripping over her own feet in the process and landing on her bum. She'd broken the teacher. She didn't even know what she'd done
wrong. It didn't occur to her that the hug thing was sort of... not okay. And she'd never ever encountered someone who was so protective of clothes - they could always be cleaned right?
So for a moment she just sat where she'd fallen, a little startled, looking up at the teacher.

"Um... I... erm..." Speechless was not a state Rusty was accustomed to, so this was... strange in so many ways.
"Sorry........?" It was sort of a question, because she wasn't sure exactly what had brought on such an overreaction...
She was becoming more and more convinced that Professor Flamsteed needed some sort of professional help.
