The Seating Area Outside Professor Flamsteed's Office
Several comfortable looking black leather sofa chairs await you in the small nook outside of Professor Flamsteed's office. The walls are bare save for a framed magazine cover and a large map on the wall opposite of the sofa chairs. Since the Astronomy professor keeps his door shut at all times, you will need to knock if you wish to speak with him. You could try to remove the protective charms placed on the door and break in, but that would not be very wise on your part as you would walk away with lime green eyebrows that won't fade for days and hair growing out of your ears down to the floor. While you wait to be invited in, why not read the latest issue of one of the many astronomy magazines stacked neatly on the wooden coffee table? StarDate Observer or Meteorite Mementos anyone?
OOC: Please post in this thread FIRST, by having your character knock on the door. When the professor is ready to invite you in, I will post here letting you know and then you can post in the office. You may RP with friends here, but please try to keep the chit chat to a minimum. Thank you!
His hand felt like it had had a Permanent Sticking Charm placed on it as it continued to rest on Miss Brown's shoulder. Was that awkward? He probably should remove it soon or else risk the embarrassment of having it removed for him like Miss Cambridge had done. So he was staring at his hand. Willing it to move. MOVE HAND, MOVE! Only somewhere between the thought and his brain processing the request for physical action things got lost. And nothing happened.
And she was talking more. Lots of sincere words that were most definitely going to emotionally compromise himself were he to let his guard down completely. But, no offense Miss Brown, he wasn't quite ready to do that with you. In fact, there were still no students who had entirely earned that right. There were those that were close, but not entirely there just yet.
"I am just doing my job to the best of my ability," he smiled down at her. OH LOOK! His pinky was moving now. Maybe he could actually remove his hand so it wasn't just sitting there like some dead piece of moon rock in an astronaut's hand. Did that analogy even work? He was flustered, alright?! But her words were slightly reminiscent of Miss Wisteria's, causing his ears to turn a slightly brighter shade of red. "But it is stellar to hear that my efforts are having the desired effect."
He hadn't been expecting the elbow, although it did cause him to finally remove his hand from her shoulder, and took a tiny step to the side. "Newton's First Law of Motion," he explained. Because that explained everything. Obviously. "Unless you have somewhere you need to be, you are welcome to step into my office for some tea. We can find those flowers a prime spot as well."
Sophie was unbothered by the lingering hand on her shoulder, not even acknowledging that it was there - that was a pretty natural gesture she received from people, namely Culloden and her father and Botros, even. So Soph remained attentive and smiling, keen on making sure Flamsteed knew how cherished and admired of a staff member he was.
By his response so far, she was certain he was taking her words to heart. Stellar. Everything was stellar, wasn't it? Newton's First Law...? "An object at rest... will remain at rest unless it's acted on by an unbalanced force - I'm the unbalanced force?" she inquired with a grin. Is that all he was saying? That was why he had moved away a little with her nudge? Golly. Did he always have science on the brain?
Awwww. He wanted her to stay? "That's awfully nice of you." Howeeeever... she couldn't help but feel a little bit like she was making him undesirably squirmy and needed to give him a break. Naw, she wouldn't overstay her welcome. "Maaay I please take a rain check? Can I come back later? We can talk astronomy and you can tell me what a Tribble is." Because she was still puzzled about that.
I'm playing this as if it's before Z got suspicious of Airey?

The Gryffindor had just finished up vacuuming some more sparkles under one of the couches. When... Oh my. What was that noise and where was it coming from? It definitely was not the vacuuming... Was it his stomach again!? Man. He should've gotten some food togo or something-- Wait, Flailsteed? Oh. Welp. Those were some funky slippers.
Just before he could say anything to the man, he had disappeared from sight. Oh. What was he going to get? OH well...
Back to work it was! And with that he turned his attention to a rather messy bit on the floor. "Vacavus!" Once that bit had been all cleared up again, Flailsteed was back and with... Lint rollers? Of course. Could not put that beyond him. So without a question, the Gryffindor walked up and grabbed a roller out of the box. "Hi, Professor," and now back to work!!
He followed Prefect Lex's!suit and walked over to one of the couches. Rooooollllll rooooolll rooooolll like it's his job. Good thing he polished this one too. It looked so purrrrdy.

Would the Professor show her how to get a cloud like that when they were done? It'd never been something she actively thought about because logically you weren't meant to be able to sit on clouds so he must have done something while casting. Conjuring took detail afterall, just like this de-linting once the glitter was gone.
By some stroke of luck she'd managed to get it off the chair fabric and she saw Zander, Penelope and Connor still at a few so those so.....the carpet by the coffee table. That was the last of it really, plus some along the floor near there.
Look at that. They were almost done already!! Team work, man she loved that stuff.
"Professor, I'll need one of those clouds to take back to my dorm." She idly commented after another bout of vacavus that finished off the last tip of the carpet. De-linting would happen here too. Never know how particular the Professor would get and if you were gonna do the job, might as well get it done right.

He didn't see him? Was it 'cause he was tiny? It was alright, Dima didn't mind! Especially 'cause the professor saw him NOW. Did he notice how HELPFUL he was being? 'Cause really, he was doing more walls than that one seventh year! Take that, person! Toussaints got stuff DONE.
The kid moved on to the next wall on his side, white still filling his mind. "Colovaria!"
Paaause. "Can I have a cloud too, sir?" He had SO done as much work as Lex had.

Aaaaaannnnnddddd that was about it. Yup. Alexa took another look around the seating area in case they missed anything but it didn't seem like it from where she stoo--EH?? Glitter alert. Thank merlin it wasn't on the carpet or the lint roller would be needed again and that was tedious stuff man. "Dima, take care of that spot, will you?" The one closer to the corner. How had they missed that?
Anyway, they were done, pretty much. The others were probably finishing off stuff but yup, they were done now and the Professor could get her that cloud. That'd be nice.
"You can have this back now." She said, dumping the lint roller back into the box he'd brought them out in. Who knew those things would ever come in handy? Go figure.

After finally finishing up with the couch he was working on, the Gryffindor walked over to a still-yet-to-be-lint-rolled seat and did the same thing. Although, he wasn't exactly sure what Professor Flailsteed was expecting with this.. They had just done all that vacuuming so it wasn't like there'd actually be any lint around?
...
But uh, to each their own right? So he just continued lint rolling. Because that's what you do when you're being watched by a very annal lint rolling type of guy. Or at least that's what you did when you're around Flailsteed.
Roooollll rooooollll rooooooolll. 'I love rock and roooollllllllll' except he wasn't singing out loud. Pft. Merely humming to the tune. Pft.

What were those roll-y things? They looked like that one object Professor Top Hat placed outside of his classroom on lesson days with the note about not sticking things in your hair. He'd seen it quite a lot, but Dima STILL didn't really know what it did. Would Lex know? Could he ask her? Or was he asking her TOO many questions lately? Was she gonna get annoyed? What if she stopped answering? Who would answer THEN?
Life was so stressful, man.
There was more glitter? But that wasn't even his JOB. Not that Dima would ever mind helping someone out with work that wasn't his, but he didn't actually know that spell. "Can you show me how?" To vacuum, that was. And now he wanted to KNOW. Your fault, Lex.
And in the meantime... last wall for him to do? Yep.
"Colovaria!" Ah. So much less pink. His father would be proud.

AJ was legit impressed by the cloud that the professor just whipped out of thin air and plopped his fuzzy slipper wearing self on. "I'll take one of those." As a thank you present or something. Food for thought.
Looking around she was surprised that they were already pretty much done. She had removed enough glitter to supply a craft shop. AJ was proud. Spells were working for her and she was helping out her very own lion pack.
Lint rollers? She should have known. This man was slightly insane and he liked his stuff clean and lint free. The lion picked up one and rolled over the couch that she had just gotten glitter free. AJ rolled herself down for good measure.

Oh right, she hadn't taught him that. You think he would have been watching while she demonstrated it to Aubrey but that was all just assumptions in the end CLEARLY because here he stood asking anyway. "Sure thing." No use walking over to the corner, or she might as well clean it herself, Lex simply showed him the wand movement...very slowly so he could mimic. Really it was simple. "The incantation is 'vacavus' then boom, suction and no more glitter."
She gestured toward the corner again. "Go head, give it a shot."

Just a tap and then the incantation? Merlin. Magic looked SO much more fancy and flourish-y when his father did it, that was for sure.
He headed over to the corner where she'd pointed out the leftover glitter and extended his wand, tapping the ground. "Vacavus!" And... woah. That was a LOT of suction right there. It felt like he was being DRAGGED further into the floor rather than the glitter being sucked into... wherever it was going. Was that SuPPOSED to happen? Or was he just an extra powerful wizard and causing UNNATURAL things to happen?
Most likely the latter.
Look at him, first year magic extraordinaire. "Thanks!" Lex could be a PROFESSOR one day, man.

Because surely her Ravenclaw curiosity and thirst for knowledge would allow her to sit through an entire episode of Star Trek. It really was the only way to fully appreciate Tribbles. Well, that and his slippers. "Thank you again, Miss Brown. For the note and the flowers." More ear blushing. "Have a fantastic rest of the day."
SPOILER!!: Gryffindor house elves plus a Dima XD

Section by section it vanished until this part of the floor could actually be considered clean.
...
.....Then he was back...with lint rollers?? Well then...
Without questioning it to much--except for the doubtful looks--she took one of the lint rollers and went over the couch she'd just vacuum. Hang on, comfort cloud. Wow Airey, way to take a seat. Though this was like a treat for him and she hadn't wanted him to help anyway. Just...she wished he'd have shown up AFTER they were done as close as they were now. Just another wall to go and the glitter over there.
Oh, plus this de-linting apparently.
roll roll roll.

"You both can have your own clouds...next term," he chuckled to Miss Cambridge and Mr. Toussaint. Although hadn't they done some cloud conjuration this term? He needed to speak with their Transfiguration professor about the logistics of her particular spell.
Wiggling back and forth on his bum as he sat on the cloud, he continued to observe what was going on around and below him. Yep, definitely liking what he was seeing. Both in terms of cleaning and team work. "This looks absolutely stellar. Way to whip your troops into shape, Commander Cambridge," he said with a salute as he used his wand to lower the cloud towards the floor so he could easily hop off it. "I'll see to it that you are all rewarded for your efforts."

...He was giving her points? Simply for verbalizing that she was following his thought process? Merlin. Easiest five points she'd ever earned. In fact, Sophie wasn't even sure that she had earned it. Was... that... regret she was feeling? Guilt? For a moment, her mouth dangled open as if she was going to politely decline the points - but the spirit of Rowena Ravenclaw deep within her soul told her to shut her trap and accept the points because closing the gap from last place to third place was good for morale.
Instead of protesting, she let a grin spread across her face and mirrored him, giving him an enthusiastic two thumbs up back as if they were sharing a super cool moment. "Thank you, professor. I'll definitely stop by again soon." He would SHOW her what a Tribble was...? Was it his pet? Would a man obsessed with lint rolling clothes even have a pet? Or was that WHY he insisted they be used so often, because he knew pet hair liked to attach itself to clothing at every opportunity? "I look forward to it," she smiled, beyond curious about Tribbles, and shook her head a little at his thanking of her again. Such a modest man. "You too, professor. Thanks for the memories." She offered him a genuinely grateful expression, a half-hearted wave, and departed down the corridor.
Maybe she'd bring Tobes with her next time. They could BOTH find out what a Tribble was.

Of course they had to use lint rollers too. Wouldn't have seemed like this was the area outside Flamsteed's office if they didn't have contact with some lint rollers at some point. So Penelope grabbed one and started running it over the chair she'd recently finished. Everyone seemed to have all the other stuff just about finished, so this was all she had left to do pretty much.

And it took a few minutes, but finally it looked like she was done. At least, to her it looked done. Hopefully to Flamsteed too.
And also that cloud did look pretty cool. Next term though? "I'm not gonna be here next term, you should give me a cloud now," she said with a nod. Maybe a little teasingly too. He didn't actually have to conjure one for her though. She probably could just figure out how to make one herself...eventually.

The astronomer gave the Ravenclaw another salute as she made her way out of the seating area. Once she had gone, he lowered his arm to his side and then walked over to the flowers and picked them up. Ah, no insects. Must be a conjuration bouquet then. Those points were most definitely earned then. He had personally struggled with conjuration as a student until about seventh year.
Tucking the note in his pocket, Airey opened the door to his office, stepped inside, and shut it behind him.

Well, that was a rather sobering fact. Thank you for that reminder, Miss Greenwell. However...
"You make a valid point, Miss Greenwell," he chuckled, his wand out once again and circling above his head in an anticlockwise fashion. The very air above him began to swirl as moisture was taken from it and condensed until a fluffy white cloud appeared. He gave it a few pokes with his index finger before pushing it towards her. "Try to keep it dry or else it will start raining." And it should support her weight as long as she kept it dry too. Otherwise she would need to perform some spellwork on it. "Congratulations, Miss Greenwell. On your graduation."
A little early, but chances were he would not be able to tell her so personally at the feast.

"You make a valid point, Miss Greenwell," he chuckled, his wand out once again and circling above his head in an anticlockwise fashion. The very air above him began to swirl as moisture was taken from it and condensed until a fluffy white cloud appeared. He gave it a few pokes with his index finger before pushing it towards her. "Try to keep it dry or else it will start raining." And it should support her weight as long as she kept it dry too. Otherwise she would need to perform some spellwork on it. "Congratulations, Miss Greenwell. On your graduation."
A little early, but chances were he would not be able to tell her so personally at the feast.
Oh hey, it had worked, she actually got a cloud. Awesome. She could definitely keep it dry...for awhile at least. Would she still have it by the time the train came? Could she use it to carry her trunk? Hmm. "Will it fade away if it rains too long? Or fade away after awhile no matter what?" Important questions.
Penelope hopped up onto it. Ooo, comfy. "Thanks, Professor." For the cloud and the congratulations. Felt nice to be graduating. Or getting really close to it at least.

He shook his head. "It would only fade away if you left it out in the sun for too long. The moisture holding the cloud together would evaporate. Although splashing it with a well place Aguamenti could fix that problem." In theory anyway. He hadn't actually attempted that just yet. Still an experimental spell, hence why he had not used it in lessons this term yet. Even if the temptation to use his students as guinea pigs was....alluring. "It should last for a while, but not indefinitely." All magic had its limits after all. "If it causes you any trouble you can always send me an owl, hopefully, and I can offer instruction on how to fix it, hopefully." You know, weather permitting and the like.
He walked around the cloud after Miss Greenwell sat on it, giving it a few good jabs with his wand to make sure that it was stable. Couldn't have her falling through it and getting injured. "It will be like flying on a broom now, to maneuver. Lean the direction you wish to go, although to stop you will just have to wait for it to slow down and stop on its own." Can't pull back on the cloud you see.
