Panic.

He quickly looked around him for any potential victims group members. Then he spotted them. Olivia and Rooney. Perfect. They were in his crosshair now. Carlton quickly scrambled up all his notes, swung his bag over his shoulder and made a run for it.

Yep. He bolted over to them where they were sitting across the room. He had to get there before anyone else did. So his walk turned into a jog before it turned into a sprint for his life.

"HEY!" He cheered as he arrived to them, slightly out of breath. "Can-I-sit-with-you?!" So he kneeew older students didn't want to pair up with first years and he'd sort of admitted to Rooney that he was bad at magic but this was an emergency! He didn't want to sit there all alone with no one. He felt lonely and he didn't like feeling lonely. "We can choose a fun planet!" He beamed and dropped all his stuff next to them.

They were stuck with him now.

Hai.

That was all you. But I wouldn't say that around the Headmistress...wouldn't want you to get yourself fired, now would we? We'd have to have a ghost teach us again! But, like I do with all new Professors... I looked into you." Not that that would be a surprise to anyone in here who knew him and the files he kept on many many people. "You haven't actually taught Astronomy previous to now. Just Herbology and Defence Against the Dark Arts -- so that doesn't scream twenty years in the career to me. A university education, three years and three subjects...does not make you qualified to teach me, in my opinion." He took a second to breathe, closing his eyes and then folding his arms.

"But, of course, you ARE the expert on what is a good hire and what isn't. Professor Burbage is, was and always will be a well respected educator in these halls, no matter your stance on her hire. I'm sure she feels equally the same about being succeeded by someone who has barely spent a year in higher education on this subject. Three years at university, three subjects...one year a subject?" Heck, if they were going for it.. Brian was qualified to teach this class. And Rooney wouldn't care if he did take over. He'd probably learn something, because the Hufflepuff surely knew what he was talking about already.

"AND both Brian and Derfael have explained to you what 'Planet Nine' is, but you've dismissed it both times." Rooney gestured to both of the Hufflepuff boys as he named them and then shrugged. "But I'm sure their well-researched answers have little on your twenty years of other subject experience. I'll be sure to have them apologise at a later date for inconveniencing you with something they love." That was a lie. He had just lied up front to a Professor and would surely regret it in the near future. But right now he was IRATE. And he was ANGRY. And he was a Rooney Bronwyn with balled up fists and the urge to walk out of class. But he would NOT. He would not leave this room because that would mean that she won. And she was not to win...not at all. Having Rooney Bronwyn LEAVE your class was some sort of high privilege that only Professor Hirsch had.

Cupping his hands to his mouth, Rooney spoke again. "For those of you that answered Pluto... You are WRONG. Professor Salvatore assures me that this would be an INCORRECT answer on your exam." Because he was more worried about other students failing exams than their Professor was.

With a huff, he settled back into his seat as she spouted rubbish and then some more rubbish about dogs which had the Ravenclaw rolling his eyes and making a point of not making any notes. Actually, he had wrote very little for this class and had no intention of transferring it into his personal Astronomy class binder. If she had wanted to find out what he knew about the subject, then she should have asked about terraforming OR even about their trip to the Royal Observatory! But no no, she wanted to know about the bloody order of the planets because they probably hadn't covered that stupid simple stuff in her ONE YEAR OF UNIVERSITY. Fume.

Another huff and Rooney had been joined by Carlton who was hoping to work with he and Liv. Which definitely meant that Rooney was going to have to stay. To help out a first year in need, something of which he did often. Very helpful was he. "Yeah, sure, kid. Pick a planet and that's what we'll do." Because hE HAD NO QUESTIONS AND THEREFORE DID NOT NEED TO ASK ANYTHING FROM PROFESSOR FAKERY.

Still irate.

....And Olivia was just... going to continue taking her notes and... not show any outward attention towards the two rabblerousing Prefects. Whether or not they were accurate in their arguments was sorta besides the point. This lady was an adult. Her mother would've pulled her out of school and sent her to that ill-fated disciplinary institution in Bulgaria had she learned Liv was being so rude. Her mum was a harpy. The blonde Gryffindor didn't think for one moment that she wouldn't make good on her threats. The woman was... painfully serious when she made promises.

Liv did, however, have a great deal of respect for the knowledge both boys seemed to possess. She'd come to realize, when this relationship had begun with Rooney, that she was really into smart guys. Intelligence was attractive and should be aspired to. Looks were not everything; a lesson taught the hard way.

Ahem.

And there was her favorite First Year! Young Carlton was approaching her and her Rooney with the hopes of working together, and Olivia couldn't have been more pleased (despite personal things). He was such a good kid, and over these last couple of months, she'd become very protective of him. So, of course, she didn't mind. In fact, when the smol Slytherin boy was around, Liv felt more like her old self. It was such a relief, to be honest. "Of course you can!" The blonde wrapped an arm around his shoulders for just a moment, giving him a squeeze. "How do you feel about doing Saturn? They have all those rings the professor mentioned." Either Jupiter or Saturn... Those were her two favorites.
