Truth be told, Airey had had no intention of properly addressing each answer his Unspeakables offered up - not as long as they all remained on topic. Which, thankfully, they were and covered the basic points he had expected. At least none were daft enough to suggest that nothing was wrong with prolonged seating. Though he was concerned as to whether or not Miss Evans was paying proper attention to things. She had always been a bit...dreamy in his lessons. Though he also found some comfort in the observation that things did not always change.
She would be forced to reckon with her attention span in another moment or two, however.
"Stellar," he nodded while adjusting his tie a bit, loosening it just a tad. "Now, those Unspeakables returning from last year will recall the notice regarding the Department of Magical Games and Sports' Ministry-wide Wellness Program. There were a few options athletic opportunities in house offered last year, though few capitalized on the opportunity." Though that was hardly the point he was trying to make with this session. "This Wellness Program is continuing on into this year as well and in light of the events of last term regarding an incident in the Thought Chamber, it has come to my attention that those employeed in this department in particular could use with a bit of a reshuffling...of sorts." Ahem. "The minds of those employed here are stretched on the regular, but our bodies not quite so much. Which is why this morning we will be participating in a bit of an agility exercise to limber up, get the blood pumping, before setting off to work."
Just what sort of activity? Well...with another flick of his wand all 42 of the plush rocks rose into the air and began to easily glide about the room. Nothing too hazardous yet.
"Your wands will not be necessary and, in fact, if you happen to blow up any of my rock pillows on reflex it will be a sizable deduction from your first paycheck" he continued, giving his wand yet another flick to cause the rocks to move a bit more quickly about the room. "Constant vigilance, Unspeakables! ENGAGE!"
And then with one more flick of his wand, the rock pillows began whizzing about the room in unpredictable flight paths. Thank Orion the entire room was padded!
Which was actually the department head's first move, to dive on to the spongy floor as no less than three rocks when whizzing through the air towards where his head had just been moments earlier.
