”Well, I’m not really sure where to start… so I guess I’ll start at kind of the beginning?” Seemed about right. ”I love running.” Simply put… maybe expand more on that? ”My Tad has always helped me to learn or attempt any type of sport that I have wanted to try but I’ve mostly stuck with running, judo and horse riding.” She added, as if that was important. It probably wasn’t though, she just was struggling to think straight. Whoops.
”I get up every morning and run before breakfast and classes… I ran with Adi, and Reagan and a lot of the other older students, they pushed me to run faster and faster and now I really like running long distance. I love pushing myself to do it in better and better times.” Was she making any sense? Probably not. Sorry Admiral. ”Well, this Summer, one of the coaches for the British Youth Athletic’s Team saw me running.” There… did that make more sense now? Potentially.
Yes. Let's start at the very beginning.
A very good place to start.
When you read you begin with...
Wait. Listening. That was what he was supposed to be doing right now, not singing silently to himself inside his head.
Refocusing, Airey locked his eyes on the Gryffindor and attempted to cease all further musical numbers from entering his mind - but it was rather difficult when they were so catchy. He was well aware of her passion for running, it was hard not to notice the routine she had established for herself over her few terms and he had seen her on a few occasions while taking Pebbles out for her routine walk. But he was not sure where precisely she was going with this...
AHA! There it was!
"DID they now?" he effervesced, setting his cup down more permanetly now and folding his hands on on top of the other on his desk. "And?"

A sudden surge of alarm and adrenaline went through him, and he flinched automatically, bracing for... something.
But nothing came, nothing sinister in any case. Only the Bubble Head Charm. Daxton, eyes slightly wider in residual surprise, looked uncertainly at the professor, then reached up to inspect his own face. He prodded at the bubble, finding it curious, attempting to test its limits and boundaries, seeing if it might give in and disappear or burst if he pushed at it too much, working out just how much leeway it gave. It served as a decent protection, the Ravenclaw noticed, from the allergen in the room that took the form of a ferret.
He blinked, and looked up at Airey Flamsteed again, prompted out of his reverie by the man's single word. After a moment, he handed over the two notes; the one in his right hand ('I want to read about the science of magic. I checked the library but I thought you might know or have a good one and that I could have it for a while.'), and the one in his left ('I want to move to Gryffindor.'), and went back to poking at the bubble around his face, still consumed with intrigue.
No admission about the other book came, the one he had hidden about his person to steal. Though Daxton knew that Airey Flamsteed knew, he was not prompted to give the book up in the slightest; it was far too tempting to see what might happen if he did not.
First Bubble Head Charm, it would seem. Although the astronomer's attention was not focused on the young man's interaction with the enchantment but rather on the two pieces of paper he was now being presented with. Accepting them, he read the the first note - the one about the science of magic - and pursed his lips. Which level of magical theory was the Ravenclaw referring to, he had to wonder? He had in his possession several magical theory books, none of which bore the title of the book Mr. Prince had currently tucked away under his shirt, and each focused on a slightly different aspect of the molecular and metaphysical aspects of magic.
"There is The Fabric of Magic by Robert Waffling and Magic from Nothing by Bernard Throckwaddle are good places to begin," he informed the Ravenclaw as he placed the first note behind the other and read it and his eyes widened significantly. Not because what he read there was shocking in a bad way, it was just...surprising.
And unfortunately not something that the professor could deliver, but surely Mr. Prince already knew this.
"What makes you ask this?" he said, returning the piece of paper to the young man so he could perhaps write on the back of it.
Recycling at its finest, you see.
