Asher walked into the classroom after delinting his clothes. "Hi Professor. Nice kicks!" He said as he strode over to an empty chair. After taking a seat, Asher checked his bag one last time to make sure he had everything he needed.

Glancing up, he noticed what a beautiful evening it was. "This is going to be awesome"he said in a faint whisper.

Sophie walked up to the Astronomy tower and entered the classroom behind a tiny little Hufflepuff she didn't know yet (Asher). She had actually been following him from the lower levels, but not creepily, of course!

"Hi, professor!" She smiled at the man before proceeding to follow the younger badger and sit next to him. "Hello! I'm Sophie!"

Laura decided she had better go to this lesson even if she wasn't feeling very well. "ACHOOOOOO! Laura sneezed, she felt really bad but she knew that the headache would go eventually. "Good..." Laura smiled at the Professor. "Good day sir." Laura "How are you today?" Laura went and sat down waiting for the Professor to speak.

ASTRONOMY!

... Yeah... he was THAT excited about it. See, eating ice cream before going to a lesson helped. Ice cream was just awesome like that!

Having de-linted himself, Alec bounded into the classroom, a wide grin spread across his face. It wasn't a bad day, either, and what made it even more better was that he got the chance to wear his converses to this lesson. It didn't take him quite as long to figure out which pair of converses to wear as it did to sort out his hair. But his hair was looking better now, right? Yeah?

Moving on...

"Hello Professor!" GRIN! ... And he was wearing different shoes. So the shoes were going to be important or...? ... Shrugging, the sixteen year old headed over towards an empty seat near his Captain and sat down. "Hey, you!" he said, grinning widely at her. ... And... who was...

TAGGIE! GRIN AND WAVE!

Comfortable shoes. That was all Glitter Trousers had asked for in relation for this lesson, but those two words created SUCH a gigantic problem. See, Ascanius was a nice looking bloke ~~more then nice looking, but he didn't want to toot his own horn, ahem~~. And being of that status he had certain expectations that came along with his look. Comfortable shoes were ugly. He didn't DO ugly. SO naturally, he was wearing said shoes, but walked into Glitter Trousers' lesson all miffed and he didn't hide it very well. In fact, he basically scowled at the man. Just because he was ugly did not mean that he had to punish Ascanius for being Adonis-like.

Typical. The better looking blokes were always penalized.

Trying to take it in stride, he walked over to his seat without saying hello to the Professor and leaned back in his seat. He was giving off annoyed vibes, mmk? And the Professor could continue singing his twinkle town show tunes or whatever. Glitter Trousers, pfft.

It felt like they were having Astronomy classes a lot this term. Theo wasn't sure if he appreciated that. He marched into the classroom, and took a seat quickly, not paying too much attention to the surroundings. "Hello, professor." At least he wasn't yawning this time. Nope, Theo was very much awake.

Astronoooooomyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!! Forrest's mind went as he RAN to the class, Prof Flamsteeeeeeeeeeeeed! He wasn't late for the class, definitely not. He just spent too much time reading, but with the advice that they wore comfy shoes, he ran faster than ever and arrived at the class on time.

Panting like a wild dog, but on time. For Prof Flamsteed.

"Hello, SIR!" he barked happily as he offered his hugest grin to the man and found a seat in the front row, thankfully.

Comfy shoes and a spectacular view. He LIKED the combination.

He could not believe he just asked her about her shoes. Feeling silly, he just smiled and hoped she didn't change seats.

"Thankssss Sir! It was a good match!" BEAM! Ella had her trainers on too so she was set. YUP. And she also had lots of energy right now. Airey was bouncing so could she bounce too? Only he hadn't instructed them to get up yet and she didn't want to break classroom rules or anything. Instead she'd just have to bounce in her seat. Bounce. Bounce. Ouch. That sort of hurt her knees. She'd need to stop that.

Smiling at the quidditch captain, he flashed her a quick thumbs up and bounced in beat with her. Heh. Maybe the class could start bouncing just for kicks? "Be careful, Miss Ella," he winked. "One must bounce with caution."

The snake peered inside soundlessly making sure that the lesson hadn't started. Grinning that she wasn't late, she stepped in clutching her bag, then proceeded inside the classroom, "Good Day Professor!" She greeted smiling before looking around to choose a desk.

"Eeeeeeeeeeevening, Miss Somerlad," he greeted the Slytherin. Nice shoes.

"Evening, Miss Logan."

Man!Gasp! Was that a yawn on the young lady's face!? No no no no nooooooo this would not do! "SUNRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE SUNSET....SUNRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE SUNSET," he sang loudly as he swayed her back and forth when he walked behind her.

Awake now? Hopefully.

"Hey Mr Professor!" Tobias beamed as he pretty much frolicked and bounced into the class. "Totally psyched for the lesson - comfy shoes always leads to good things, after all." BEAM.

"Evening, Mr. Tempus!" Airey greeted the young Hufflepuff enthusiastically. "Well I certainly hope I do not disappoint!" Because crushing the energy of this little Hufflepuff would be SO depressing.

Crushing all student energies would be depressing really.

"Evening, Mr. Stinson," the astronomer greeted the boy with a quick salute. Oh? Was that his cue to strike a pose? Instead he sort of lifted his foot a bit and wiggled it back and forth.

"Evening, Mr. Summers! Stellar flying out there," he said, offering the boy a salute as well.

"Time to turn that frown upside down, Mr. Stark!" Airey GRINNED at the boy. Not even this lad and his usual black hole of an attitude could upset Airey today.

Oh! YOU! We have things to say to you! "Evening, Mr. Kinsley," Airey greeted the boy as he frolicked over to beside his desk. "May I see you after class. I have a few things I wish to discuss with you. Nothing bad. I promise. I'll even provide the ice cream."

"HEEEEEEEEELLO, Mr. Charlton," Airey BEAMED. "I've been doing a little charms experimentation." JUST in case the boy was wondering if Airey was really going to follow through with said ambition.

Checking his sundial watch one last time, Airey gave his wand a quick flick to close the door to the classroom. "Alright, let's get started," his voice boomed through the classroom. Making his way front and center, Airey furrowed his brow slightly and his expression turned very VERY serious. "To start things off I have a VERY important question to ask, WHO WANTS ICE CREAM?!"

!!!

"ME." Alice's hand shot up immediately. "I do, professor, ME. Are you going to get us some? What flavor? No one's told me yet if the machine in the kitchen makes jelly slug ice cream, but I really, really want that kind. Other kinds are good too, because ALL ice cream is good ice cream, but I really, really want jelly slug. Do you like that kind of ice cream? What's your favorite flavor?" Wait, breath, she needed a breath.

"But I want ice cream. I do! Field trip? To the kitchens? Please?" She was giving him puppy eyes.

o_____________o

Seriously?

With the ice cream?

Seriously?

Tobias paused in his bouncy fidgeting and stared up the professor in confusion. Why did everyone here love ice cream so much? 'Cause it was good... but this school was like super obsessed.

BUT

WHO WAS TOBIAS TO DENY SUGAR?!

He thrust his hand up into the air. "Yesssssss!" Pick me, pick meeeeeee. And anyone else he supposed. "... please!"

BAM!

Not only Daichi's arm but his whole body flew upright the moment the Professor asked the first question. And the man was right, this question was really important! He waved his arm to get the Professor's attention and griiiiiiined from ear to ear.

"I WANT ICE CREAM~!" He shouted back as well. "Ice cream , ice cream , iiiiiceee creeeam~!" This man was definitely in the cool people list! He totally wanted to see the face of Dylan when he found out there had been an ice cream question. BWAHAHAHAHA!

Who wants Ice Cream?

Not Nigel. He would rather have to lesson start then want ice cream. He was more in the mood for Fizzing Whizbees anyway. So he just crossed his arms, put them on his desk, and dropped his head onto them.

Might as daydream until class really starts. Sigh.

The hi's from earlier are in here too

She sat and watched the rest of the class piling in. There was Ella beaming and waving at her!! She GRINNNED and waved back at the Hufflepuff. Ella was super nice, you know?

Then there was Mack. "Heeeey!" Her teammate got waves that were cut off when LOTTIE plopped down next to her. "HAI!" Only it wasn't that loud, just enthusiastic because she knew the girl's view on noise. Nodnodnod. She beamed over at Mika too and sent a wave at Cassia.

Oh, but now the lesson was starting and she was paying extra attention--

mvhfhfdfgstkfu!!

Alexa hopped out of her seat immediately and was waving her hands about, flailing really. ME!! I want ice-creeeeam!! Pick me!!!!!" Bouncing was happening too. OVVVEEEEER HHEEEEEERRRE!!!!!

Once Kace got to astronomy and sat down, he heard the professor just start the lesson. He just made it! Yes....Score one for Kace!

Then he heard the professor ask if they wanted ice cream. Kace's eyes bugged out.

O__________O

"I WANT SOME!" he said raising his hand and jumping on the balls of his feet. "Pick me! Pick me!" he said using his cute charm.

He didn't know what the ice cream had to deal with the lesson but who cares it was ice cream! He wanted it whether he cared or not.

Ice cream! Ice cream! Tag wanted ice cream very badly. The red leprechaun raised his hand up in the air and waved it about his head enthusiastically. He wanted ice cream! Tons of it. Me professor! I want some please. Oh and some for wonderful Alec Summers as well. I can only assume! Of course Alec would want some. And Tag did not find it out that the professor was asking who wanted ice cream. Oh well, he was just happy!

Text Cut: Flamsteed!

Oh! Whoops! Hadn't noticed you there, Tobias! Alec grinned and waved at the little dude before shuffling away.

... Oh? GRIN. "Thanks Professor!" he said, saluting the man back. How awesome was this? Astro Man thought that his flying was stellar. STELLAR! GRIN. And his homework was called stellar too, at one point. Or was that for something else? ... Alec... didn't know but hey! Quidditch compliments! GRIN.

And wait... he was offering ice cream? ICE CREAM? Alec raised his hand in the air and waved it around a little, the grin still spread across his face. "Me please! Please please please!" he called out, "Are we all going to have an ice cream picnic?" What an AWESOME way to start off the lesson! Really. GRIN GRIN GRIN.

Sitting in the classroom, with Little princess, hidden inside her pocket and out of the view from professor Flamsteed, she stared unbelievingly at his Shoes. They were… no… the professor was just strange, he was funny, but strange… She was curious about this lesson, as usual but she had no idea what they would learn this time, professor Flamsteed did really unexpected things!

She just wanted to take her parchment out of her bag when the professor asked them… if they wanted ice-cream? What was happening? Was everybody crazy? It was COLD outside! Ice-cream was something you would eat in the summer, and it was now obviously, no summer! But… was there something special about this ice-cream? Was it so delicious that everybody wanted to eat it, even now that it was still cold outside? The second year old frowned and decided that she wanted to try it, and if she didn’t liked it she would just throw it away!

She raised her hand, “I want some, professor!”

Mackenzie was still captivated by the amazing view and briefly heard Airey's question..."ice cream..." eww.. Mackenzie being lactose intolerant, couldn't eat ice cream, drink milk, or have cheese... which she can't stand because she loves to drink milk. "No thank you Professor" the blonde politely declined the professor's offer and went back to staring at the horizon.

Forrest gasped as his face was lit with wonder, searching the man's face with a hint of bad intention but there was NONE and he clapped his hands once. He had REALLY been working on it! He wanted to hug the man and himself with glee, but refrained from doing to.

He could always do that later. As for now...

He leaned forward, ready to bark ANY answer--he had read THE WHOLE BOOK phrase by phrase and he trusted his knowledge now--but no sound came. On the contrary... his face fell as if he was hit by a car.

Ice-cream.

He wanted to vomit.

Cautious bouncing. Right. She could do that. Beam!

The blonde then noted she got to sit with cutie Tobias and the boyfriend which made her all the bouncier. They each got BEAMS and waves and then it was time for class to start.

...

.......

ICE CREAM? Realllyyyyyyy?!

"Yes please!" Like lots, right? Cause Ella could eat lots of ice cream. Oh! And did Airey have gummy worms too? Hmmm?

The question was really who didn't want ice cream. The answer? Crazy people. And lactose intolerant ones. And snakes, who would enjoy the licking part but the temperature would be bad for cold blooded creatures. But everyone else wanted ice cream.

But he didn't want to look TOO eager about it, so Mo casually brushed Anya's hand away from his hair before raising his hand. Oh, well. If you have ice cream, we suppose we'll have some or whatever.

GERMS! THERE WERE GERMS FLOATING AROUND HIS CLASSROOM NOW!

"You alright there, Miss Hyde? Do you need to see the Healer?" Well, not NOW since Cece wouldn't be on duty, so tomorrow? Or....day after tomorrow? He wasn't too sure he remembered the Healer's schedule properly. "I'm doing faaaaaaaaaaantastic." Minus being confused about a few things, but still doing well.

Laura looked at the Professor. "I'm fi...ACHOOOOOOOOOOOOO...ne!" Laura sneezed again into her hanky she had out from earlier, she seriously didn't know when Healer Tillstorm was next on duty, why had the Headmistress cut her hours.

Laura just slumped into her desk. "I do." Laura said weekly, she'd always eat ice-cream she loved the stuff but she was feeling a bit under the weather today, ice-cream was awesome it always was and she would eat it and eat it and eat it and share it with everyone.

Dylan...........was eyeing the Professor...and everyone in his immediate vicinity. EYEING THEM. It was like a cult-following up in here. What even...?

"No, thank you, sir." He was convinced there was something in that blasted dairy treat. There had to have been. Look at how dense it was making his peers.

Snort.

Good thing he had his team on a strict diet. Merlin forbid...

Where was Daichi? Surely he was going to appear and embarrass their entire house...

Wait did Jory just hear right? Did Professor Airey just say Ice cream?! He made no hesitation to answer. "Yes, please Professor!'' he called out. Could they request any particular flavour because he would love the chocolate flavour.
