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? Do be careful as you take a seat, though. Despite the valiant efforts of students last term you are likely to walk away with a sparkly pink bum thanks to some left over glitter wedged between the cushions.
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!
House elves. Right. He had nearly forgotten given everything else this term that he had tasked the two with something regarding them, so it was nice to know that they hadn't forgotten.
But house elves aside for now.
"Hmmm," he said while pursing his lips. "Sounds like a new Zonko's product...if I am being honest. The sort meant to scare the victim as as a prank..." He reached forward and plucked the shoe from the sweatshirt and gave it a look over. He briefly recalled the time he and Maddox had given detention and the astronomer had supplied a porcelain doll that wore similar shoes to this one. Which now made him tempted to blame Daphne. She was the sort to send him dolls as a reminder of how much poltroon she found him to be.
And she would try and scare his own students so they would come crying to him. She knew how he was with tears.
Thankfully, it had found its way to two Gryffindors who were not shedding tears.
Assuming there was a connection to Daphne at all.
"Well..." he continued, giving his wand a bit of a wave over the shoe. "I see no remnants of cursework or any sort of enchantments...so I wouldn't dwell on things. Perfectly harmless shoe you've got here."
And then he offer the shoe back.
It would have simply been better for her to take the Professor's words at face value, to thank him and be on their merry little ways. Hold her head high, despite the knowledge that Kaycee would undoubtly tell her that she told her so. At least, they had checked.
Thing was, Amur wasn't always rational and when it came to Hogwarts and strange things, there was absolutely no need to be rational. When it came to Hogwarts and Professors having a knack this term for putting students in awkward situations, there was even less need.
So, it was hard to tell if it was on account of some irrational rationality, or simply immediate reaction and response. As soon as Flamsteed handed the shoe over, Amur dropped it on the ground and had her wand out in the blink of an eye.
The spell came as easily as a thank you, but was so much more satisfying. "Incendio!"
Poor poor shoe. It made for nice kindling. Whoever had lost it, shouldn't have played such a prank.
But in case either of them were wondering, now she felt better.

HA! Kaycee was right. She turned to Amur and smiled. SEE. Absolutely nothing to worry about. Just the creepiest prank ever.
She was about to take the shoe when Amur had other plans for it.
"Amur!" she squealed. "You just ruined some kid's poor doll!" That was NOT nice. It wasn't like the kid that owned the doll was the one that pranked them. The doll was obviously stolen.
AND NOW THE SHOE WOULD NEVER BE RETURNED.
She gave her Gryffindor a look that she hoped expressed her agrjaehrgjklaerg and dismay and disappointment that she was currently feeling.

Well...that was...well then...
Instinctively jumping back (BECAUSE HIS SUIT COULD BE IN DANGER), the astronomer was torn between outwardly showing his utter HORROR at a student starting a fire in his seating area and utter amusement for the exact same reason.
He was also reminded of James' expression when he and Mr. David had...well...that complete accident had occurred with his office door. Which, in all honesty, was the only reason he was not switching into Ragesteed right now at the site of the scorched bit in his floor.
"Well, if there WAS any evidence to be found on that shoe we will never know now," he said with only moderate dismay. Astronomer still wasn't convinced that it was nothing more than a harmless discarded shoe. "Miss Richards, if there is nothing else you are free to go. Miss Neverwinter..you however need to deal with the damage to my floor."
He pointed for emphasis.
Yeah. THAT. Right there.

Dora was TOTALLY bouncy as she made her way into the seating area for Professor Starman. But like... she came to a pause and just kind of stood there. She did not know whether she REALLY wanted to knock and sit and talk to the man. Like... she DID, but she didn't. If that made sense.
SO for the time being, she just kind of stood there and looked at the door, willing it to swing open. WOULD THAT WORK? Like... a Jedi mind trick or something? Could she bend the door to her will? Placing two fingers to her temple she pointed at the door with her other hand and CONCENTRATED.

Would the door swing open? Unfortunately no since the man was actually not in his office but in the astrophysics laboratory doing a bit of experimentation. Thankfully for the little lioness, he was just finishing up his work and on his way back to his office with Pebbles being dragged behind on her pink leash.
So, really, she had only been waiting a few minutes by the time the professor had shown up.
He was about to greet her from behind as he approached...but stopped himself...
Uh....what was she doing?
It took him a moment to register what she MAY be doing...maybe.
"Stretch out with your feelings, Miss Umbridge," he whispered.

Okay. So she was going red in the face and feeling a little dizzy as she HELD HER BREATH and POINTED HARDER AT THE DOOR. Not that she was actually expecting the door to open, but it was funny trying nonetheless! HA! That was, until she heard the voice of her Head of House... BEHIND HER!
OH EMM GEE!!
Dora gave a squeak and then sucked in a deep breath before doubling over. DOUBLING OVER.
That had taken a lot out of her. More than she had expected. SHEESH. Once she had composed herself she peeked at the man between her legs... considering she was still doubled over. "I guess I don't have the FORCE, Professor." It was obvious, no?
Obvious that she was being weird in front of his office door and had been caught in the act. How lovely.
"Have you got a few minutes that I could bother you, siiiiir?" she asked, her ponytail scrubbing the floor ever so slightly.

While the astronomer often preached that no Gryffindor was like another, it was a concept that he all too often let slip from his mind when it came to reactions to things.
Something he was very much lamenting at this moment.
"Alas, magical blood and midi-chlorians do not mix well," he replied. He couldn't help but...no, he was not going to dwell on such thoughts right now. Three months away, Flamsteed. Get it together and don't start wondering things that will make your palms sweat.
Too late for that as well.
"I do," he nodded. She WAS going to stand upright for it though, yeah? He wasn't going to have to continue this in such a manner that he felt like his was speaking to her posterior?

Dora beamed at him real big and finally stood upright and turned around to face him. Not as much fun, this was, but it seemed necessary. "What's a mid Chlorine, sir?" Her knowledge of Star Wars was limited to the references her cousin made... She tilted her head a little and WATCHED him as she waited for the explanation. Mhm.
"COOL! Thanks, Professor Flamsteed. You just want to sit out here?" It wasn't like SUPER secret or really all that important so she didn't mind. Also... could she stand on her head out here? Would he allow that? WAS THAT ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR? Hmmm. For the moment she moved closer to the seats and kind of WAITED.

Oh thank Merlin.
Grateful to not have to give a detention of indecent posture, or something else reasonably sounding, the astronomer gave a small nod to the sofa. "If you'd like," he said. He may opt to sit on the coffee table, however. There were still bits of pink glitter stuck in places that not even magic had been able to remove. He was still convinced that his former colleagues had used Dark magic on the stuff. How else did one explain why glitter as always EVERYWHERE?
"Midi-chlorians," he corrected as he gathered up some of the magazines to make room for himself. "Are intelligent microscopic life forms that lived symbiotically inside the cells of all living things. Within the Star Wars Universe that is. It was also said that they could allow their host to detect the pervasive energy field known as the Force when present in sufficient numbers."
