Perhaps the first thing you notice as you enter Professor Flamsteed's office is that it is...clean. Ridiculously clean. While he is not exactly obsessive compulsive about cleanliness, Professor Flamsteed highly values organization and keeps everything in a specific location. Needless to say, if one of his quills is at an odd angle ... he will notice. The wood cabinets above his desk are filled with all sorts of reference books on all branches astronomy on the left side while the right side is filled with works of muggle science fiction ranging from Douglas Adams to H.G. Wells to Robert Heinlein and everyone in between. His desk is mostly empty except for some black accents and a comfortable looking pillow where the professor's pet rocks, Pebbles and Boulder, tend to rest. Beside this is a plant in a unique looking planter.
On the walls are a few framed pieces of abstract line and paint splatter artwork that Professor Flamsteed has collected over the years along with a drawing given to him by a former student in a black frame just to the left of another large gifted piece of artwork also in a black frame above the sofa. Beside it is yet another drawing, this one signed, in another black frame. There is a black sofa up against one of the walls with a pet house and a pet bed on the floor beside it where Pebbles and Boulder sleep when not sharing the pillow on the desk. To the right of the black sofa and is a wooden closet where Professor Flamsteed keeps a few freshly pressed suits from his extensive collection, just in case, and to the left of this is a rather impressive looking tie display case. Located opposite of Professor Flamsteed's desk is yet another display case, but this one is filled with all sorts of muggle science fiction models - one of which is sporting something on its head - that he has built and painted himself - a hobby of his when he is not busy teaching, grading, or researching. To the left of this case is what appears to be a muggle telephone booth, but upon further inspection of it you will find Herschel scurrying about within.
OOC: please do not post here without having been invited in by Professor Flamsteed from the waiting area or spoken with me OOC. Posting without doing either of these puts your post at risk of being unceremoniously deleted.
sorry its so late! and sorry if he dropped a bomb T__T
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

"My ferret," he explained, rubbing the back of his neck anxiously. One that he may not bring back to Hogwarts and just let it stay at home from now on. Hershel would probably enjoy the grounds at home much more than being cooped up in his office or risk being eaten by something here at Hogwarts. "I do not," he lamenting, shaking his head as the box of rocks gently landed on his desk. "But I believe it is overdue to hold a bit a meeting in the common room about keeping pets somewhere safe at all times. I heard Hufflepuff house has been hit especially hard."
Ironic that they were near the kitchens.
"Maybe the house elves aren't telling us something," he joked nervously to try and ease the tension. Although it may not have been completely obvious that he WAS joking. "Mmmm, kneazle bacon on the menu and roasted owl with mashed potatoes and gravy. Suppose toad legs could be a substitute for frog...not that I've ever eaten that..."
Airey stopped himself and glanced back nervously towards the Gryffindor, clearing his throat.
"Sooooooooooo....about that rock," he chirped with a forced grin plastered across his face as he pat the side of the box.
Ignoring the stones having energies comment. Not interested.
A ferret? Apart from having seen a picture once or twice, Yoongi had never seen a ferret before. Or maybe he had in the menagerie shop and he hadn’t been there. Like, he hadn’t been there with his mind and simply had overlooked it. It was a shame the ferret wasn’t in its cage right now. “They have?” he asked, not very good at hiding his curiousity over showing sadness . “That’s awful…” well, he was just saying that. He had no idea how it felt to lose someone. Animal or human so he was pretty much ignorant about that. Having been abandoned by his mother did not count because she had been replaced with another loving mother in his very early years.
“Wait, you’re suspecting the house elves?” he asked, curious once again as he cocked his head to the side and then he gasped and clapped his hands once. “That’s it!” he shouted. “The house elves are tired of making meals for us every time of the day and night so they kidnap our animals and in return of getting them back we have to make a meal for them! It’s perfect!” He was grinning from ear to ear, a twinkle in his eyes as he stared in the distance. “At least that’s what I would do” he shrugged after a moment of silence.
Yeeaah, perhaps his imagination had been taking its toll because he had totally forgotten about the pet rock he came to adopt in the first place and he remembered it when the Professor mentioned it. “Oh yeah, sorry sir ..professor! I mean professor” seriously, sir was so much easier… He looked inside the box , scanning the rocks with his eyes. He didn’t know why…well he knew why… but he was always drawn to earth. Was that weird? Probably , but he did. Picking up one he liked, he smiled at the man and held it up. and he was about to talk about the energies when he was IGNORED!
HMPF! A swift of change happened on his face and he looked gloomy. Like he had been hurt. Well, whatever, he learned at charms school that certain kind of stones can be used to strenghtening magic to make them a bit more powerful. His loss if he did not want to know the secrets HMPF! “This one” he said, luckily his voice still sounded normal. “How did you come up with getting a rock as pet?” he asked out of the blue. He was good at that… “Where is pebbles even? Everyone told me you keep that rock on a cushion and to tell you a secret that was my second reason of coming here because I thought they were just joking and had to see for myself ..” no lie.

The professor merely nodded in reply. It was strange. All of it. The missing pets and the astronomical increase of cobwebs around the castle.
Aaaaaaaaaaand here was another student who did not yet understand his unique sense of humor. But since he already had the boy going, and so he and Maddox could have a good laugh about it later, the Astronomy professor decided to did a little deeper. "All those cobwebs too," he mused. "Not keeping to their cleaning duties. Have a real rebellion on our hands it would seem." Even in the Gryffindor common room. It was driving the man crazy and HE was putting in extra elbow grease picking up the slack with some of the cleaning.
All those poor lint rollers...
Moving to his desk now to retrieve an adoption form for the Gryffindor, the professor's body tensed and his jaw clenched. Why did he want a pet rock? Well, Miss McGee had written a stellar article regarding their benefits that Mr. Hyland ought to get his hands on. "If I knew where she was, I would have no need for all the Missing posters I have been putting up," he replied, his tone more than a little short. He ventured a glance towards the pillow on his desk where Boulder sat comfortably...and Pebbles place upon it still vacant.
Without saying another word, Airey pulled a piece of parchment from his desk and handed it to the Gryffindor.
