He used his arms to push himself off of his desk and attempted to kick his legs so he could make a smooth hop down. Unfortunately, his wife had been a lovely chef over the summer break and had fed him well. You know what that means.
THUD!
Instead of sticking the landing...or even launching himself, Ian managed to instead roll off the desk and hit the floor. But it was no matter. Ian was able to make fun of himself, and chuckled as he stood up and brushed himself off.
"Welcome to Charms lesson one, everyone!" He allowed time for applause, but none came.
"For you first years, my name is Ian Ashby, but please call me Professor Ashby. For you older students, welcome back! I'm happy to see you all returning.
"Now then, I'm sure you've all noticed my choice of interior decoration. I have two questions for you: One - What do you think of it? And two - why do you think I've chosen quills and ink bottles for this particular lesson?"
Fallon looked at Professor Ashby quizically. She thought about the two questions he asked. She raised her hand to answer. "I think it's rather...different Professor Ashby. And maybe we are going to do something to try and get them down." She knew she probably didn't sound to sure of herself. She was just taking a stab at the question.
