Penelope offered the plate of cookies to him.

Entering the office, Penelope looked around. Was the ferret here? He wouldn't try to attack her like those ferrets in the common room at the raffle, right? Why did Professor Flamsteed have a ferret anyway? Why did he like ferrets but not cats?

"May I speak to you about the actions of Mr. Blaise Bellaire and Mr. Bentley Moore?" Specifically the part that involved bothering the prefects. One of the boys had been especially annoying on the train, and the other had thrown food at her at the feast.

Gladly accepting the plate of cookies, the Astronomy professor paused for a moment to inhale their sweet scent before following the prefect inside his office and shutting the door behind them both. Wand at the ready, he waved it towards his tea set so it would prepare itself - water had already been added to the pot previously so it need only be heated - and pulled from one of his cabinets his collection of tea for Miss Wright to select from.

Oh? So it was straight to business then? Good, the man did not enjoy small talk when there was a clear agenda to be discussed. "Certainly, Miss Wright. I had been wanting to speak with you and Mr. Baines to get your side of the story," he nodded, having already heard the two Gryffindors' and not being impressed at all. "What exactly would you like to discuss?"

Sheepish grin, he just knew he was not going to easily live slamming himself into a wall..

"Sounds great." Tea was great, astronomy was great, offices were great, discussions were great, so it should be great. He followed the Professor into the office. The fifth year stopped when he saw the telephone booth, what in the world? Upon further inspection he realized it had a thing inside it. A ferret. He backed away thanks to a certain redhead he was put off of all things ferret. Sitting down the boy adjusted his tie before saying "So astronomy, recently I visited my uncle who is also an astronomy man and I had already been loving astronomy and spoke to my father who was giving me the your a young man talk." Aka the future talk where he tries telling you what your going to do. "I brought up Astronomy, I think it would be.." Fun, Enjoyable...What was the word he was looking for... Realizing he couldn't think of the word he started another sentence instead. "..I want to do something having to do with astronomy in my future but my father has told me there is nothing to do with astronomy except teach which wouldn't be a bad thing because teaching is really fun, but I was curious is he right?" Maybe he put to much faith in his father, or maybe he was looking to prove him wrong.

Well, he could relate to that. It certainly was a stellar map and had taken him quite some time to hunt down. Out of print for some 50 years now, so the man was rather fond of it.

"Don't worry, he doesn't bite," Airey assured the boy as he strolled over to his desk. "He may shed on you, however, but I have a stash of lint rollers in my desk that will take care of that. Been debating about leaving him at home with my..." But he ceased his thought there, instead clearing his throat to summon his tea set and filling it with a well placed Aguamenti. "But he seems to like my office so he gets to stay." Despite the fur.

Settling himself down in his seat and adjusting his suit's jacket a bit to minimize the chance of wrinkles, Airey listened carefully to what the young man had to share with him. Although he DID take a moment every now and then to check on the tea's progress. He wanted to ask if Earl grey was alright, but felt like a reflection of a poor bedside manner were he to ask that after all he had just heard.

"Not to speak ill of your father," he began, setting the lid back on the pot and beginning to pour himself and the Gryffindor a cup each. "But he is a bit misinformed, although it IS true that a vast majority of us in the field spend a great deal of time in postdoctoral positions in universities or research institutions before settling down into more permanent positions. What exactly is it about astronomy that fascinates you? So that I may better illustrate this."
