"I'd love a cup of tea" he said as he entered the office. He immediately looked around. He had never been in the office of the previous potions professor so he couldn't tell if it looked much different. "I uh.... i wanted to say welcome to Hogwarts" he said as he still looked around before he looked at the Professor again. "And" he sighed heavily, running a hand through his grey/silver dyed hair. "Also wanted to apologize about the start of term feast. That was probably not the kind of welcome you new Professors had wanted" He hadn't done anything except try to stop them but he felt that, as the Head Boy now, that the responsibility was part on his shoulder as well. "Is this your first time teaching, Professor....?" He suddenly stared at him. "I'm sorry i don't know your name, sir" That the young man had agreed to have a cup of tea spoke wonders. He went to his little cupboard and pulled out another mug, fixed the tea strainer on top, and poured a cup of tea. "Milk? Sugar? Honey?" he asked.
Art let the young man finish saying everything he had wanted to say, before realising he should probably introduce himself. "Art. Arthur. Well, er.. I suppose Professor Newton, actually. It's my first time teaching Potions, but I-I used to-to teach Chemistry at a muggle school." He scratched his face, just above the eyebrow. "Thank you for coming to welcome... uh... welcome me, that's uhhh v-very nice." He nodded and stretched a smile across his face.
The feast had been a debacle, but not necessarily because of the shenanigans that had happened with the food, and the throwing, and the mess, and the Professor's reactions. The old hag. She had done it for him. His lungs were still recovering from that wretched spray she had sprayed. He shook his head and let out a chuckle. "I... I don't think you need another person to-to-to uhh... to tell you off. Any of you. Not you, just... the general sense of the term you." Uhhh... right, focus. "I think Professor Flamsteed has-has spoken to you all? It... well," he chuckled again, "It wasn't your doing." Besides, it was surely something he would have found himself doing when he was a young lad at school, so he couldn't very well be mad at the young Gryffindors for doing it. "OOH and... and your name?" he asked. He knew he was the Head Boy, member of Gryffindor. Quote:

"I love what you've done with the place, professor." His eyes glazed over various potion ingredients as well as potions themselves. He was like a kid in a candy shop, and hoped to have a collection this grand.
When they were both in the room, he decided it was time to introduce himself. "I'm Austin. Uh, Austin Moore. I created a potion a few years back." Not bragging or anything, he just felt the need to put that in whenever he could. He was proud of his potion, and even more proud that it worked. "Anyways, I just wanted to come in and chat about potions, if you weren't busy. I have a few muggle notebooks for notes and recipes, but they can only take me so far." Aaaaand... he was rambling. Something that tended to happen when he got nervous. Hopefully the new professor wouldn't notice. And the young man who had arrived, or at least been sitting with Paul Myers, had come in at last. His compliment got a big grin from Art, as he looked around, his hands on his hips. Yep. "Thank you," he said, with a nod. "Austin Moore, it's-it's nice to meet you." Art raised his eyebrows in pleasant surprise, and rubbed at his chin. "You DID? Well how marvellous. What potion was it?" he asked. Of course he was interested in learning that other people had created their own potions. "Oh no, no not at all. Take a seat," he said, motioning to his desk. He always had time to talk about potions. Art went around the other side of the table, his side, and sat down. "Do you have them with you?" he was curious.
