FINALLY entering the Astronomy classroom after the 'House Elves at work. Please do not disturb' sign had been removed, you see nothing out of the ordinary other than an especially clean classroom. The desks are arranged in their usual semi circle to help created a more personal and inviting environment. The late afternoon sunlight shines through the windows to give the room an almost heavenly glow.
In the front of the classroom is the professor's desk sitting before a massive chalk board that appears to be empty for the time being. Professor Flamsteed is currently leaning against his desk with his bum while finishing up a comic book he had started while waiting outside the classroom for the elves to finish their work.
Did you remember to use the lint roller on the small table outside of the classroom? It was there next to the sign that reads, "Not to be used as a brush for your hair" and has the signature of a former student in the bottom right corner.
So come on in and have a seat. Class will begin shortly despite the hour delay due to a conflict in house elf cleaning schedules.

SPOILER!!: Thornton
QUOTE=AmbiguouslyMe;11664592]Thornton sighed as Jasmine went to claim more blue bags. She was not going to let this go, was she. He grabbed the frisbee-esque planet fail and frowned at it over before tossing it away from him. But because it was a flat disc, it actually flew a bit, threatening to nail a student in the back of the head. Oops.
Thornton turned away from it quickly, resolving to pretend he'd known nothing about it.
When Jasmine returned with the bags and the pep talk, Thornton couldn't look away. This girl was intense. And now Thornton was worried about letting her down. What reason did she have to believe in him?
He sadly poked at the bags with the tip of his wand, really not wanting to try again, but feeling obligated to do so. This was too much. Hogwarts was too much. Spells in Astronomy. What was he going to do when it was time for charms? OR TRANSFIGURATION?
Feeling overwhelmed, Thornton pictured the planet he knew he would never be able to make and angrily and sarcastically muttered "Fingere elementi" while continuing to jab at the bags. He was not really intending to cast, though his poking and his muttering had coincided, and the image of the planet in his mind was clear, even if it was what he thought he could never accomplish.
And *pop*... there the planet was. But instead of being delighted, Thornton threw his wand to the ground. "I.. uuugh. I don't even know what I did."[/QUOTE]
Thornton looked totally overwhelmed and Jasmine was afraid that she had pushed him too hard. Then he begrudgingly tried the spell again and what do you know, he did it! Why wasn't he happy about it. Jasmine was confused.
Picking his wand up from the ground, Jasmine handed it back to him, "What you did my friend is create a planet, just like I knew you would. You did it once and you can do it again." Just at that moment. Professor Flamsteed called an end to the planet activity. Ravenclaw had won! "We won Thornton and you made a planet, all in the same day. I'm sorry that you didn't get to try the rest of the activity, but you did great." And then class was over, but Jasmine had some parting words. "Never be afraid to try Thornton. You have more skills than you think. You just have to believe it. Oh and I've got your back." With that, Jasmine left and went over to gather her belongings.
On her way out of the classroom, Jasmine stopped to say, "Thanks Professor. I enjoyed the class." Then she headed out the door.

So, he just did what he did best. He went into calm, cool and jokey mode. "Sure it was. It was fun to take out a red planet or two.'' Okay maybe that would make her more mad but he wasn't going to let this bother him. It was the competitiveness in AJ that was taking over for the time being.
"Well let's go then. I'm tired. And AJ's mad at me because I decided to have a little fun...you sure you're not mad at me either, Benny? Angel?'' Adi stalked off towards the door.
Whoops. She almost forgot to take off her name tag. Why couldn't she keep this again? It was super cool. It most likely would be waiting on her for the next lesson. So it was only goodbye for now.
Touchy much? "As long as you enjoyed yourself." He could have done that with the other two houses, but whatever.
Mad? Oh, she was mad that the lions didn't win, but she wasn't mad at Adi. "When did you become so sensitive? I'm not mad at you." He was already walking off towards the door. Fine. AJ grabbed her some sand and gathered the rest of her stuff and made her way out the door behind him.
Sophie's eyes bugged and THE BIGGEST AND MOST PROUD OF SMILES SPREAD ACROSS HER FACE. In all three previous terms at Hogwarts, she had come to accept that Ravenclaw wasn't likely to win anything most of the time, even if they'd put in a valiant effort. But THIS... they'd actually DONE it! Merlin's beard! Soph stripped of her armor and helmet in one swift motion and gave a triumphant sort of pose, BASKING in the glory of the moment.
Was... this a new era for Ravenclaws? Were they a mighty force to be reckoned with?
Sophie smirked because, in that moment, she DECIDED that's the way it was going to be. Ravenclaw would be the new Gryffindor and surprise everyone further down the line, just as they had today. HEhehehehehe.
Giddy and far too self-assured, Sophie saluted Flamsteed as he dismissed them, dropped her gear off in the appropriate place, and scooped up a few sand bags before heading over to collect her belongings. She shot a glance to Tobes for the first time - Merlin, he was sweaty and yet strangely attractive - but she politely tore her gaze away as she packed her things away in her bag, slung it over her shoulder, then plucked her name tag off her robes a little regretfully. Couldn't she keep it till next class? Flamsteed could trust her with it, couldn't he?
She supposed if he trusted her with it, though, he'd feel obligated to do the same with everyone else, so she obediently deposited her name tag on Flamsteed's desk then gravitated back over to Tobes, where the sides of her mouth quirked upward in a grin at his question as she stood beside him to walk out with him. Had... he named his planet?
Thornton looked totally overwhelmed and Jasmine was afraid that she had pushed him too hard. Then he begrudgingly tried the spell again and what do you know, he did it! Why wasn't he happy about it. Jasmine was confused.
Picking his wand up from the ground, Jasmine handed it back to him, "What you did my friend is create a planet, just like I knew you would. You did it once and you can do it again." Just at that moment. Professor Flamsteed called an end to the planet activity. Ravenclaw had won! "We won Thornton and you made a planet, all in the same day. I'm sorry that you didn't get to try the rest of the activity, but you did great." And then class was over, but Jasmine had some parting words. "Never be afraid to try Thornton. You have more skills than you think. You just have to believe it. Oh and I've got your back." With that, Jasmine left and went over to gather her belongings.
On her way out of the classroom, Jasmine stopped to say, "Thanks Professor. I enjoyed the class." Then she headed out the door.
Thornton accepted his wand from her and shrugged, though he was pleased to know that Ravenclaw had won... even if he had kept several of them from participating at all. He may have even managed a small smile.
Standing, he stripped off the protective armor, and left it leaning against a desk. Slowly moving over to where his bag and possessions were, he slowly placed each thing back into his bag with the extension charm. Holding up the nametag, he frowned. Another piece of evidence that he couldn't accomplish simple spells. He'd have to let Professor Flamsteed see it, because he needed to return it.
And so he slowly made his way to the front, shoulders slumped forward, to leave the nametag on the desk and pick up some bags of sand that he would never manage to turn into planets.
Dropping three blue bags of sand into his school bag, Thornton gave a small nod of acknowledgment to the professor and turned to leave.

WHAT. They were SO CLOSE. MAN! If only he had gone for another blue. Darn. But hey, at least they were close right? And even though they may not have one this time, they were still top of the points chart soooooo the real winner was clear. Mhm. That's right. Still, the Gryffindor had a small smile on his face as he walked towards the sand bags and grabbed a couple of the red. Because Gryffindor ruled no matter what.
As he approached the door, he looked around the room and sighed. Should he ask... No... He could just-- Gah. "Professor?" he knew how much this guy hated glitter. And after accusing him of being a Cold One, he kind of owed the guy. SO SIGH. "Do you need any help, with the sparkle control?" Almost regretted it right after asking because sparkles weren't his thing, you know? He did know a couple of cleaning spells too! Remember last term?! He had perfected the glittery stuff.

Cutty removed the protective gear he'd been required to wear for the duration of the activity. His hair was doing that weird thing again where it stayed where it was put. Helmet hair. Little black tufts of east and west. After peeling the nametag with the strange snitch on it he moved out of the classroom. He seemed ...uncharacteristically perturbed.
Awwwww, they hadn't won. MOPE. Norah removed her protective gear and her supercool name tag and gave Professor Flamsteed a dejected smile. "Thanks, professor. That was fun!" His classes always were, uh huh. Snagging a few bags of yellow sand she, stopped to bend down and pick up a few handfuls of yellow glitter which she promptly sprinkled into her hair. House pride, YO. At least they hadn't been in LAST place. Heh.

Oh.
The class had finished. Layla stared at her planet that she didn't get to destroy and sighed a little. Although she was glad that the Slytherin's had lost, she had something to gloat to Sammy about. She lowered the planet back onto her desk where she left it and let out a small smirk when the Professor had declared that it was Ravenclaw whom had won the activity. Although she claimed to have no affiliation with the claws, she may have been getting closer and closer to being one.
Grabbing her bag, the Blonde directed a nod over at the Professor with a small smile. An actual smile not a half-hearted one. "Thanks Professor" she spoke in her distinct south London lilt before walking towards the door.
She supposed the lesson hadn't been too bad after all. Maybe Astronomy was going to be one of those lessons she might actually enjoy. The Ravenclaws thoughts whirred around her head before she stepped out the door.

That was his original planet, by the way, floating right there over the palm of his hand. Toby gave Airey a tired!grin, looking hopeful.
That Ravie kid was asking for a smack in the face. What was all this HELP NEEDED, ADULT blah blah blah thing? Huh? And then of course he was out for as much blood as he himself was. ANOTHER RED PLANET DOWN! MAY DAY! MAY DAY! ..........
But any and all attempts were now futile. They were out numbered, and clearly only SLIGHTLY outmatched. Had he not wasted so many valuable seconds earlier in taking his time and being patient with scouting for good hits... this could have been avoided. Whoops. "Congrats Ravenclaw," he offered in a sportsmanly manner.
Hanging his head a little, dejected, Zeke pulled off his awesome helmet and the chest guard plate thing... and returned those to Professor Airey, the name tag he would keep, because it was his, right? It's not like the professor would need it for... things. Oh and that reminded him... he still had a sandbag left, but could take more for homwork. Excellent.
"Thanks Professor, and may I keep this please? Like, just for myself?" he asked, holding it out for him to see. Please say yes. Please say yes. He really wanted to have a planet that HE made, right over his bed. He couldn't see the stars overhead at night, but a planet would be just as nice.
Mr. Tempus and Mr. Zeke spoke to him at essentially the same time, but thankfully the boys were asking essentially the same thing...or so he assumed. He had to do a double take on the Hufflepuff. Persephone, stellar choice in name. "Of course you both can keep your planet," he nodded. "The plastic bag formed an outer shell on it that acts like the jar we used for your solar system project and will keep the elements contained." This was more directed towards Mr. Tempus, of course, since he had done the experiment. Mr. Zeke, well, he could ask an older student what that meant. Miss Cambridge was an excellent option.

Hehe. Now he'd never know he still had the name tag.
With THAT Kyroh took off.
Airey BEAMED at Mr. Scabior as the young man departed. He would make a true Trekkie out of the boy yet! The beginnings were already happening. It was stellar.

"Thank you, you have a good rest of the day!" he saluted the prefect as he left.

Now to leave.

Sweet solstice Gryffindors and their AIM.

Airey caught the nod from the Ravenclaw and nearly stopped him from leaving so they could talk, or set up a time to talk, but seeing the way that the first year was seemingly shaking like the interior of a rocket turning take off...he would catch him some other time. Perhaps in the Great Hall.

"That's alright, Mr. Adair. Simple flick of the wand will banish it all," he replied, giving the pile a nod as he took a small step away from the pile. Why risk the glitter being displaced by his own movements...right?
Right.
To take advantage of the boy's hospitality.
"Actually, how about you show me how proficient you are with a Banishing Charm?"

So they hadn't won? Bummer. It happens though. Maybe next time Slytherin would win. At least they all had tried their best. She sure new she had and it was fun as well.
Making her way to the front of the room Hady removed her helmet and chest armor setting them back in the correct boxes. She then peeled her name tag off of her uniform and set it on the Professors desk.
They needed sand for their homework so Hady grabbed a few bags and set them carefully into her napsack so they wouldn't break. Pulling out a small pouch she collected a bit of the glitter from the floor and closed the pouch up putting that into her bag as well.
"Thank you for a really fun lesson Professor, see you soon!" The young Slythering called out cheerfully as she reached the door to leave the class.

Right.
To take advantage of the boy's hospitality.
"Actually, how about you show me how proficient you are with a Banishing Charm?"
Not gonna lie, Zander was actually pretty relieved when the man said that he'd take care of it. Why insist if Flailsteed was just going to do it himself. Mhm. But at least he tried right? That totally cancelled out calling him Romanos' Cold One accomplice last term. So basically he didn't owe anything anymore and all was well and he could just go back to his dorm and sleep the day off. Right?
Wrong.
Oh. Never mind. Because-- Banishing Charm? Well, his accio wasn't all too good, but the banishing one always looked easier. Just, he never really practiced all too much with it. "I-uh-Okay Professor." Pointing his wand at the glittery pile he concentrated as HARD AS HE COULD because he didn't need to screw up in front of his Astronomy Professor, y'know? He had finally managed to do well in that class last year. Didn't need to set things back to step one. "De-PUUHL-so!" he swept his wand and almost praaaayed that the pile disappeared. Ahum. Peeking back at the pile he almost let out an audible gasp when-- IT WORKED MERLIN WHAT?!
Maybe this is what puberty did. It made you good at magic. Or better at it anyways. Ahem. But he was finally starting to get the hang of this stuff. Four terms too late, but STILL did Flailsteed see his spells in class? Because most of those worked too!! "Uh, how was that, Professor?" For all it was worth, most of the pile was gone. There was still some left over, but the majority was taken care of, wasn't that what reeeaaallyy mattered?

Taking another few steps back just to be safe, Airey watched at Mr. Adair performed the spell and was SO relieved to find that the glitter was gone. Or seemingly so. That stuff tended to get stuck everywhere...especially places that it should never be. Ever.
Ahem.
"Stellar!" he applauded the boy. Literally. Hands clapping and everything. He then pulled out TWO lint rollers from his pocket - one for himself and one for the Gryffindor. "If you would be so kind. I'll take the west side and you take the east. We'll meet in the middle. Just roll north to south and south to north. We'll meet in the middle and be done."
Because he wasn't going to rely on house elves to clean the classroom in a timely manner again.
Without waiting for confirmation, because surely it was coming - he had faith, Airey headed to his side of the classroom and got down on his hands and knees to begin lint rolling the floor for any glitter that may have gotten through the cracks. Bit of manual labor never hurt anyone.

Not gonna lie here, he was pretty happy with himself. Didn't really expect to actually get the spell right on the first try, you know? He was more of the third-time's-the-charm-maybe-four type of guy. But even with all the horrible things that have happened this term, one thing was finally going right. The magic thing, and about time too! Before he could say a thank you and then walk out the door, however, a... lint roller? He should have known. This happened the time in his office too. It was a bit overly dramatic if you asked this fourth year, but it was also Flailsteed so it made perfect sense.
And also how was he supposed to know which side east was?
O_______O
And there he went. So uh, take it the other side's east then. "Uh, okay Professor, sure thing." Never. Offering. To. Clean. Ever. Again. With the lint roller in hand, he walked over to the other side of the room and began the whole north, south motion. Did it really matter which way he rolled it though? Zander didn't really think it made a difference, but then again it was Flailsteed so there was probably some sort of reason for the particularities. So yup yup yup, roll roooollll roooooooolllll up down up down up down. Though it was tedious, he was making his way slowly but surely.

Was class over? Realizing that she had gotten through an astronomy lesson without getting hurt or crying in a bubble for the first time, Penelope smiled. "Do you need any help cleaning up the glitter, professor? She had her own lint roller. Since last term, she had started carrying a lint roller in her pocket. Pulling out her lint roller, she started rolling the lint roller over the glitter on the floor.

The magic thing, and about time too! Before he could say a thank you and then walk out the door, however, a... lint roller? He should have known. This happened the time in his office too. It was a bit overly dramatic if you asked this fourth year, but it was also Flailsteed so it made perfect sense.
And also how was he supposed to know which side east was?
O_______O
And there he went. So uh, take it the other side's east then. "Uh, okay Professor, sure thing." Never. Offering. To. Clean. Ever. Again. With the lint roller in hand, he walked over to the other side of the room and began the whole north, south motion. Did it really matter which way he rolled it though? Zander didn't really think it made a difference, but then again it was Flailsteed so there was probably some sort of reason for the particularities. So yup yup yup, roll roooollll roooooooolllll up down up down up down. Though it was tedious, he was making his way slowly but surely.
This was more tedious than usual since he wasn't wearing his knee and elbow pads to protect his limbs against the cold hard ground. He could have performed some charmwork, but he was already distracted by the little glittery gems he came across here and there. The majority, ironically, blue at the moment.
Crawling parallel to Mr. Adair, Airey continued to roll it across the surface until the sticky tape could pick up no more. Tearing the outermost layer off, Airey used his wand to banish it and then continued to roll away. "Don't forget to tear the layer off and banish it as well when you find that its not picking up anymore glitter," he instructed, giving his lint roller a little wave towards the Gryffindor.
"Oh, of course Miss Wright. If you have time to spare," he replied to the Ravenclaw, offering her a salute with his lint roller. He was also VERY impressed that she was carrying lint rollers around with her. VERY impressed.

Tear the layer off? Was there an art to this lint rolling stuff because it was getting very specific. Starting at the east, going north south. Tearing off layers. Man. This was actually hard work. It was different when you were just rolling the lint off your robes before the lesson because there wasn't actually anything to roll off. But, when it was glitter in mention, that stuff was everywhere. All over the outer layer too. Okay, okay maybe tearing off did make sense. Flailsteed had to have a method to his madness.
"Will do, Professor." Looking back at the man, he watched carefully as he did the tearing thing. Okay. Maybe it was time he did that too. Zander looked back at the lint roller in mention and yeah, it was most certainly all glittered out. He struggled a bit trying to tear it off but EVENTUALLY got it and did another quick banishing charm-- which he got on the FIRST try AGAIN!! And then back to rolling. Which by the way, he was making a lot of progress on. After this he'd most certainly be taking a nap though. This cleaning business was a lot harder than it looked.
Anyways, when he heard the sound of a small girl speaking, he looked up and-- Huh? O____O Just stared and blinked at her. Did she carry around lint rollers too? Merlin, what was it with these people. Maybe Hogwarts got rid of the Cold Ones but there were other weird things going on around here. Like little girls carrying around lint rollers. Flailsteed is kind of expected, but why the girl? WHY? Was he missing out on something in the supply list? Or was this like a magic thing?
But also, he was actually getting quite close to reaching the middle of the room now. So that was happening. Mhm.

Banishing his last glitterfied strip, Airey gave his side of the classroom another glance over and nodded with approval. Yep. Spotless. Just like a house elf had cleaned it if not better. One really couldn't go wrong with muggle devices. Especially after figuring out it was not a futuristic looking hair brush.
"How are things looking over there you two?" he asked as he pocketed his lint roller back in his breast pocket. "Just about done?"

FINALLY making it to the middle of the room like he was told, the Gryffindor smiled with satisfaction. Even though he most definitely regretted sticking after to help, he just had to be happy with his work. His side looked great. Except for the lint roller, that just looked like a mess, but he could fix that. Zander struggled (again) to rip off the outer layer, and then did the banishment charm one last time.
"I think so, Professor!" But if things weren't up to the Flailsteed's standards, could he just lie and then fix it later? Because this Gryffindor was really feeling that nap now. Getting up from the ground-the glitter just couldn't get rolled away while standing- he walked towards his Professor and extended the lint roller to him with a small smile. At the end of the day, Flailsteed wasn't that bad.

Tearing the outermost layer of tape off of her lint roller and banishing it, Penelope continued to roll the lint roller over the floor. There was always more glitter to be cleaned up. Glitter was one of those things that can never really be one hundred percent cleaned up.
"This is about as clean as we can get it now." It was not going to be easy to get every single sparkle out of this room, and that was not feasible with three lint rollers at the moment. The room looked pretty clean. Getting up from the somewhat glitter free floor, Penelope looked down at her robes. There was glitter everywhere on her. After tearing another layer off of the lint roller and banishing it, she started on her robes. Smiling, she saluted the professor with her lint roller and continued to roll it over the glitter on her clothes.

It wasn't that he didn't trust the two, he just had high standards when it came to cleanliness. Taking his lint roller out once again as a precaution, he inspected the area that the duo had cleaned - bending down just once to roll up some excess glitter they had missed...although he may have just imagined he had seen it - and gave an approving nod.
"Stellar, thank you for your time and effort. Take a few house points each," he saluted them both. "You both better head off before you're late for your next engagement."
****
Seeing as all the students had now left and the classroom was clean, the professor gave the room one last salute before departing it himself; locking the door behind him.
