A truly ironic twist of words in that thought, Laurel. And he was not a nerd as much as he was an astrophysicist...please let the record reflect this sentiment. Though he was not a man to read thoughts, but it still did not stop his brow from arching at what she said next. "...really?" he replied skeptically. "Who told you this and special in what way?" Clearly not anyone who truly studied the aurora borealis with any real depth. Though Airey supposed he could consult the solar cycle again. He needed to for another research variant.
Lost in thought for a moment, Airey found himself thinking of his children and just how much he had missed over the past trio of years. The first wand fitting for Atlas and Aries had been by far one of his biggest laments. Perhaps he could do something to make up for that. Would the gentleman who currently ran Ollivanders mind a redo? Airey tucked the thought away for the time being and refocused on Laurel. "Ever since I took over the position of department head," he nodded. Which had been...bloody hell. Over a decade now. He had MISSED his decade at the Ministry in the midst of the Neo-Alliance's hostile take over. "Andromeda, yes," he smiled a bit. "Blossoming into a fine young woman, I would say. They are all struggling with coping since the...well...since the battle at Hogwarts and all that lead up to it."
Not that Airey was purposefully avoiding conversations...but he was also not exactly going out of his way to bring any of them up. Save for his own, er, private consultations.
