Or that it was not in the lint roller's best interest to be used to squish spiders - although a massive one may have solved all their problems a few terms ago.

Thus, the astronomer had taken an uncharacteristic detour towards the Creatures area, taking painstaking measures to avoid the play area, and approached. OH! Looky here!

Pulling up a seat, Airey admired the fire and reached into his enchanted breast pocket for a package of his gourmet marshmallows (coconut for those inquiring) and his roasting fork. Pebbles was given her own seat as he occupied the other and promptly stuck two marshmallows on to his fork and into the fire they went.

He probably should have knocked...but oh well. Surely the fellow would come out of his office eventually?

So here he was, obviously starting the term off by visiting the new creature man. His knowledge of animals needed to be tested if term was going to start off right, and David had worn his backpack WITH STUFF IN IT for this very reason. As he neared the office, though, he was suddenly reminded of his first time meeting Professor Myers, and how he wasn't the ONLY person eager to meet the Herbologist.

"Hi Admiral!" Davie brightly greeted the Astronomy teacher, TOTALLLLY stoked to see him outside the Astronomy tower. As his mum would say, it was like seeing a nogtail walk on only two legs. HAH! SO COOL! FLAMSTEED WAS SO COOL! He moved to sit down in the seat opposite the professor, but stopped, as he suddenly saw something akin to ... a rock-crup hybrid. OH YEAH! Pebbles! The pet rock! "Can I hold Pebbles and join you?" he asked politely, not wanting to scare the star-man away or anything. ~~*HUGE FAN*~~

It would become a game to see how many layers he could manage before there was no marshmallow left. But today, well, he was opting for a pure roasted coconut flavor.

"Ah, good day, Mr. David," the astronomer greeted with a mildly surprised smile as he waved his roasting fork with two perfectly browned gourmet marshmallows on it at the Ravenclaw in place of a proper wave. He hesitated a moment, unsure whether or not he could trust THIS Truebridge with Pebbles. His mother had, after all, COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY ABANDONED HER when the dementors had attacked during a quidditch match. This Truebridge, who he had elected to no longer call by that name...for reasons...had not get had the opportunity to prove himself in a crisis.

So...the man was wary. Very wary.

"Cer....tainly," he replied with a forced calmness, eyes locking on Pebbles for a moment before darting back to the young man. "Would you care for one? Fresh out of the fire."

Meaning one of the marshmallows on his fork.

"You aren't allergic to coconut, are you? Or tree nuts in general?"

James didn’t hear a knock, but he did hear the door swing open and shut. He had an office door for a reason. And that reason was so that people could KNOCK. It was proper etiquette. Honestly, what was with this place and the lack of knocking??? He flicked his eyes towards his office door before bringing them back to the page on his book, he was properly annoyed, yes. So two could play at this game. If the visitor refused to knock then James would refuse to let them visit. HA.

Though there was a second time he heard the door swing open and shut. Did his surprise visitor (or lack thereof) leave so soon?

Unfortunately, no.

There were voices. Two of them. Muffled voices, of course because the door to his office was quite heavy. Not heavy enough, apparently. Because trying to ignore the voices was becoming increasingly difficult. So after waiting a few moments longer, James stood up. The second visitor didn’t think to knock either. Seriously, did no one at this school understand proper office etiquette!?? Perhaps James should’ve left a sign outside his door like the shiny-headed man had. ~~Yes, James had done a routine check around the castle before properly moving in.~~

Still very annoyed, the man opened his office and popped out his head to see—

None other than Santa Claus…. And backpack boy apparently, who he hadn’t had the opportunity to meet yet.

Joy.

And though Jolly Ol’ Saint Nicholas wasn’t wearing that outrageous red costume from the night of the opening feast, the nickname had stuck. So he could deal with it. ”…. Hello….” Anyone care to KNOCK? He couldn’t say he was surprised. Honestly he could’ve guessed it was Santa if he had wanted to. ”…. Are you roasting marshmallows?” His tone was one of distaste. Marshmallows were being roasted in his fireplace. And yet no knock on his door. Naturally.
