It was, however, the only thing that was in fact in the box. Pink paper all over the floor now, the Astronomy professor continued to shake the box waiting for...something. A thud? A moo? Anything to happen that would reveal something else about the box. But nothing came. Just lots and lots of pink confetti...and several boxes.
He supposed he could use those for storage. As for the pink confetti...
That would need cleaned up. But at least it wasn't glitter?
Still clutching the smallest box, the professor sat on the ground (crisscross applesauce) and began picking the pieces back up. "Never decorated a mecha with paper mache before...suppose I could give that a go," he mused. SPOILER!!: the saviors Quote:

However he had to raise a slight eyebrow as she gave attitude apparently in response to his reveal. So that's how it was going to go...she was going to take ALL the credit for the find? When it was his poster that had been hanging there that could have prompted Pebbles to be there in the first place. Or the fact that he had been the one who rescued her after the elf dropped the pet rock. And if he had been there sooner to check on his posted, HE would have been the one to originally find her.
Pfft. He would have been willing to share credit...but apparently AJ wasn't.
And then she was shoving her wand at him and apparently emptying her pockets to find the pet rock. Really? he mused as he held what he was supposed to rather than just let it drop. He could be a friend at this moment even while she was seeking credit.
Not like it mattered much because as soon as Professor Flamsteed caught sight of Pebbles, it was things were running weirdly. The Gryffindor watched for the man's reaction to the pleasant news they had rushed up here to make happen. One moment Benny was watching an older man cry at the sight of his non-living beloved pet. The next, he was being enveloped into a bear hug by said man alongside AJ. "Um...you're welcome, Professor." Quote:

Oh no.
He was going to cry...
AJ didn't do well with tears and the whole emotion thing. Really, she wasn't a girl. In fact she could count on one hand all of the times she had cried in her thirteen years.
Bear hug. She was cool with this and wrapped one are around Benny and the other one around Airey. "Shh...Shh. She's home." Look at her being all sympathetic. Would now be a bad time to ask for her five points back that he took away because of his Pebbles induced bad mood? That wasn't very sensitive. She could ask for that later. Maybe make him a card and put a nice P.S. on the bottom that involved the whole point thing.
Yeah, she would go with that. For now she would just enjoy the moment. A nice Airey was the best Airey.
Squeezing the life out of the two, figuratively speaking, Airey was so over the moon he was lost for words. Although, in true Flamsteed fashion, the silence did not last long. "1000 POINTS EACH!" he declared, pushing himself away from the pair. Wait. No. He would surely cause an uprising for that sort of thing. "100 points!" Wait...no...Cece would surely accuse him of cheating and have daggers for eyes during the entire feast. More so than she had when he had made her wear that costume. The combination of looks from the Healer as well as the Headmistress would surely cause him to soil himself, and he would rather not ruin a perfectly good suit.
Even if Pebbles was worth it.
"10 points..." he began rummaging through his enchanted breast pocket. "Take these knights from a wizard's chess set. Only surviving pieces with their heads still on I'm afraid. Oh and these," he continued, pulling out two rubber chickens with space suits on and forcing those upon them as well. "These replicas of Camilla Corona. Fascinating little anecdote from space exploration's history. You really should do a bit of research on her."
What ELSE could he give them...WAS THAT SATISFACTORY?!
OH! HE KNEW!
Thrusting Pebbles towards Miss Valentine first, he pressed the rock's face to her cheek and made a loud MWAH noise. "KISSES OF GRATITUDE! NO FINER GIFT THAN THAT!?"
