astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf


Turning over a page in his folder, the professor grabbed a quill from his desk and made a few marks on the paper. Someone at the British Astronomical Association did not know their placement of the Stefan–Boltzmann constant and therefore the entire document he had been asked to review was a complete waste of his morning. Granted, the fellow had only misplaced it in one of the many equations in the sequence...but once was more than enough when it came to this sort of thing.

She pulled out her text book, some parchment and a quill just as directed....oops and her wand, good thing she didn't forget to bring her wand! She loved this thing!!!!! Her wand was the best thing about being a witch hands down.

Margo was ready for this!!!
Sighing, he scribbled a few harsh words on the front and closed the folder, tossing it unceremoniously on his desk just as the first student bounced into the room. Which almost, ALMOST, put him in a better mood. A chipper greeting to match that chipper bounce in her step would have been the ticket, but as it was she received nothing more than a curt nod from the astronomer.

Listing the numbers of pi in his head - a rather relaxing past time that he often used when he could not fall asleep at night (far more effective than counting sheep) - he had just arrived at 944 in the sequence when Mr. Grimm entered.

Good afternoon, Mr. Grimm,” he nodded, tight lipped smile, at the fifth year. “Stellar, busy, and unusually eventful. Thank you for asking.

Thinking back on the summer did bring a ...loose lipped smile to his face. Still grumbling internally about that report, however. Sweet solstice.

Woah. Consider this astronut’s mind BLOWN. Along with Mr. Tempus, Mr. Rehman was another Hufflepuff that he never expected to look so...forlorn. Airey was of the opinion that the mind of a Hufflepuff was filled with nothing but positive thoughts, so when the expected bundles of optimism looked like dying stars...it unnerved the man. End of the world unnerved.

No tears, please. Or teenage angst. Whatever it was that was ailing the young man right now...stay back!

Hello, Mr. Rehman,” he greeted cautiously. “Bad, er, lunch?

Toby greeted the astronomer as he took his seat and immediately picked up the pumpkin (fidgety idle hands, you see) before noticing the message on the board. Oh. Uh. Well... was this considered manhandling it? Toby's gaze went back to Airey and he slowly made to put the pumpkin back on the desk with a sort of questioning look, as if to say 'yes? no? can I hold Pumpkin?'
Oh thank Merlin the world was not coming to an end!

I was, until reading that rubbish of a report,” he said with a dismissive handwave towards the document. If he didn’t have to send it back with his Astronomer Royal signature and comments he would have Incendio’d it right there on the spot. “But nothing a good solid lesson of scientific inquiry and discovery can’t fix.” His gaze darted between Mr. Tempus and the pumpkin, reckoning that if the Hufflepuff had a tail it would be wagging bath and forth eagerly like a cruppy waiting for its master to throw a ball. “If you must hug the pumpkin...I won’t stop you, Mr. Tempus.

Just no smashing it.

Setting it down again she made her way inside the classroom already enjoying the light breeze that swept through from the open windows. "Hello, Professor Flamsteed. How are you today?" She asked cheerfully giving the man a light wave in greeting as well.
...
Afternoon, Miss Lynch,” he greeted the Slytherin with a quick salute. “Hoping it will get better with all you lot have to offer this lesson.

PRESSURE ON, STUDENTS! ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE!

The Tall Blonde finished un-linting himself, and walked into the classroom. His School Robe covering the suit and tie mostly, but he put enough swag into his walk to let them flow so that his suit was visible beneath. "Hello, Professor Sir." Aegis gave him a Thumbs up and took a seat near the front of the Semi-Circle row of Desks. He nearly had his rear in the seat when he felt he had forgotten to say something else...

...AH OF COURSE! Aegis shot back up and stood still facing the Astronomy Professor. "Padawan Aegis! Ready to learn all I can!"
Is was hard to keep a straight face with the way Mr. Dane was prancing into the classroom, but the astronomer managed. Sort of. He gave the young man an approving nod followed by two goofy thumbs up.

The sir is unnecessary, Mr. Dane,” he chuckled while waving his hand subtly back and forth. Sweet solstice had he once AGAIN forgotten to add that to his classroom rules? Rudy short attention span to that sort of thing. Alas. “At ease there, you are permitted to sit in my classroom.

Hadn’t they established the answer to that question last term?

I do believe the ceiling is still up there, Mr. Barrington,” he said, swirling his finger upwards towards the tall ceiling of the classroom. “Unless you are asking about what is beyond the ceiling, in which case would require a much more lengthy answer.

Getting better by the second,” he saluted Miss Valentine casually.

"Pumpkins... Righteous."
...
While Airey was the first to be able to appreciate the quality of suit that Mr. Anderson-Belfort came waltzing into his classroom wearing, it was regrettably not in accordance with school policy and it PAINED him to have to say what he had to say next. Seriously. PHYSICALLY pained him. One could even see it on the man’s face. All wrinkly nosed and contorted features as though he had just stubbed his toe really hard on a stone stair.

Afternoon, Mr. Anderson-Belfort,” he said, tapping his sundial watch a few times. “I regret to inform you that I must ask you to return to the dorms and change into your school robes.” He took a few steps closer to the young man and leaned over to whisper so that only he could hear. “At least put your robes on over that stellar suit to give the illusion that you are in uniform.

It hurt. It hurt sooooooooooooo bad.

He sat down in his usual desk, finding...a pumpkin. Of course. Nothing surprised him anymore. "Good day, Professor Flamsteed," he said with a smile to the man, although he looked like he was in the middle of something so he didn't say anything else.
Afternoon, Mr. Newell,” he saluted the prefect. The young Slytherin seemed even more confident than before, perhaps in part due to the badge now pinned to his robes? Perhaps some of that could rub off on Mr. Adair? Would be quite stellar if it would.

I remember who you are, Miss Duchannes,” he chuckled with a quick wink towards the first year before accepting her handshake. This was not the first lesson of the term, after all, seeing as it was already October.

Still, the politeness was always appreciated.

Not a Hufflepuff, but always chipper in her own right...Miss Valentine’s demeanour was also unnerving. Now, the astronomer purposely turned a blind eye to students’ personal affairs, but it was hard to ignore the school publication that he was the staff sponsor of.

Anxiously, his eyes darted back and forth between the Gryffindor and the Hufflepuff as he abruptly returned her greeting. “Miss Valentine.

Evie was tempted to sit by the boy with the green badge, but she settled for sitting a row back and a few seats away with a clear view of the professor; he might have friends he'd want to sit by, after all. Speaking of the professor, he looked like he was reading something very intensely, so she watched him. Intensely.
Speaking of angst….here came a Ravenclaw.

Who was staring at him with those perceptive eagle eyes the house was known for. “Bedazzled by my gangly good looks?” he teased.

He wasn't ready for that at the moment.

Another silent Ravenclaw. Airey offered the young man a polite nod as he took his seat.

I suppose it would be,” he said smugly, tugging on his tie just a smidge. They would all just have to wait and see.

Good day, Miss Valentine,” he nodded towards the third year. Had only taken him three terms to get used to saying that three times to three different students. Quite fitting, actually.

Was that a jab at Hooksteed? The man was uncharacteristically sensitive about that - and everyone could thank Miss Brown for that fact. So he narrowed his eyes at Miss McGee and tried not to let his lip twitch.

Aye.

Not to mention, it was Professor Flamsteed's class and he liked the man overall, even before he became the leader of Gryffindor house. "Good afternoon, Professor," he said, greeting his head of house before going any further.

Airey saluted Mr. Atreyu as he entered, his blue eyes eyeing the dynamic between the group of friends. “Hello, Mr. Atreyu.

Anyway Finn put his hands on his desk, cupped them together and waited quietly for class to start, looking at everyone else filing in.
He caught the Slytherin enter out of the corner of his eye - his attention now primarily on the source of potential teenage angst in the middle of his classroom. He did manage a small nod towards the young man, however. Yes, welcome to another Astronomy lesson.

He was being stared at. Again. Merlin was there something on his face? Toilet paper stuck to his shoe? An exceptionally large boogie sticking out of his nose? Subconsciously batting at his nose with one hand - to, you know, dislodge any boogies that may be there - he bowed his head towards the young Slytherin. “Good day.

Had she been speaking to her pockets earlier?

Hello, Miss Brown,” he replied to the Ravenclaw with a smile. He gave the sky a quick glance and an approving nod. “Some would even say that it is a stellar one.

There was an interesting case study to be had greetings and dismissals based on each house. He, for one, was noticing a pattern. Particularly today.

All the silent intense staring, save for a small handful thus far, from the Ravenclaws was making the man anxious. They really were going to be the death of him. Ravenclaws.

Still, he offered Miss Fleming a small, but nervous, nod of the head.

Oh? Maybe there was some hope?

Jasmine’s sister, yes, I remember,” he saluted as she made her way to her seat. Quite, er, endearing, the way some of these new students wanted to make absolutely sure that he remembered them. “I hope your sister is doing well, yes?” She had been one of the few Ravenclaws that hadn’t seemed to have a death wish out for the man.

Not that he wanted to constantly compare the two. Hardly fair to this Miss Guidry.

She walked into the classroom, gave the professor a small smile and nod, saying, "Hello, Professor Flamsteed!" She then picked a seat close to Lux but not right next to her. She didn't want to be a bother. She pulled out her wand, textbook, parchment, and quill, placing them on her desk in an orderly fashion. She folded her hands in her lap and waited for class to begin.
Hello, hello,” he greeted the Hufflepuff, this time opting for a double thumbs up rather than a salute. Which felt….strange and oh-so-wrong. He would not be doing that again.

Though, given the arrangement, he doubted there were any safe seats in the classroom.
To you as well, Mr. Grayson,” he replied, returning to his signature salute for a greeting. Oh yes. That felt SO much better.

Without even noticing it the third year slowly began to turn in circles as he attempted to get his back lint. "HI.........Professor-" Can't talk, trying to get the rest of the lint.
Okay, now this was a sight that was REALLY difficult not to laugh at. But it was hardly a laughing matter that Mr. Scabior was trying his best to follow the astronomer’s rules and thus laughing would have been incredibly counterproductive of him. “Afternoon, Mr. Scabior,” he coughed, still trying to choke back his laughter. Thankfully, for all parties involved, Miss Wright came over and helped her classmate. “Looks like you are all set now.” Salute.

Bad mood. Agatha was in a very bad mood. But she sat down near one of the windows nonetheless.

Was the lesson finished yet or WHAT?
Sweet solstice. What had this one’s wand in a knot?

Careful there, Miss Hapgood,” he said softly, not wanting to enrage the Slytherin any further for fear of teenage angst exploding all over his classroom….but also enjoying living life on the edge and having next to zero self restraint. “Your face will stay like that if you look so grumpy for too long. Try to be a proton, always positive.

Ah, there she was. Airey took a deeeeeeeep breath and sloooooooowly exhaled. It would seemingly be a miracle for Miss Wright to survive all seven terms in Astronomy, although this term would be much more low key compared to the previous ones. He had a lot of Astronomer Royal work to tend to behind the scenes.

Hello there, Miss Wright,” he saluted. “Thank you for assisting your classmate in being thorough with their lint rolling. It is appreciated. Take 2 points.

Hardly related to Astronomy.... Anyways. Time to pick a seat. Always the hardest part of any class, unless you were considering potions and runes because those ones only got harder and harder. Seats were hardly the problem. ANYWAYS, sitting. Right. That's what he was going to do here. OH, Agatha looked like she needed some company. So yes. Agatha, sitting by her and the window and giving her a small smile. Mhm. Hey.
Airey offered an especially bright smile towards Mr. Adair, this generation’s Neville Longbottom. Brave indeed, considering his choice of seat. “You’ll just have to wait and see, Mr. Adair,” he winked. They certainly were not going to be dropping them from the Astronomy Tower as a demonstration of the force of gravity - although the thought HAD crossed his mind.

The fifth year glanced around himself, noticing the other pumpkins on the desks. Why hadn't he noticed them when he had come in?! He must be losing it. Ah, well. Leaning back in his chair, he waited for the class to start, staring at the pumpkin, wondering what it'd have to do with the lesson. Hmmmmmmmmm.

Good day, Miss McAlistor,” he smiled, squinting momentarily at...whatever word it was that the prefect had just uttered. Thankfully for her, his mood had lifted considerably and thus was not annoyed enough by her imaginary word - or was she attempting to speak Klingon? - to take points for a lack of formality.

The nod was appreciated, and the professor returned it with one of his own.

Was he meant to sign it after using the brush? Just in case he wrote his name down quickly and found a seat. Nodding a hello to the lint brush professor he found a seat. Setting his things down he waited for class to start.*
The Astronomy professor had not seen the Slytherin sign his name, yet, but there would be a conversation when he had. Ahem.

Nodding his head towards the young man as he entered, Airey looked at his sundial watch for the time. Just a little bit longer and they could get started.

Alright, lips and tongue, were you feeling flexible today? Dare we try and greet the Gryffindor with her name or stay safe to avoid eye rolling and stares of doom as you butcher it once again? Even if he had done quite well at the Gryffindor party at the start of term...and hadn’t been too terrible in recent lessons with her name.

Hello.

Whoops. Over thought that one and fell on his face.

She wanted to talk to him. Obviously.

Also she wanted to drop a pumpkin out the window and see it splat. Was it possible he'd notice if she accidentally-on-purpose dropped hers out the window? Dot averted her eyes from watching the professor to gauging the distance to the window.
Nor had he seen this one using it to pick up spiders - a great mystery when he had gone to collect his lint roller at the end of lessons and seen them smushed on it. He needed to amend that notice. Again.

And MORE starring? Seriously, DID he have something on his face? Or was it really that they had come to appreciate his gangly good looks?

Actually, he would rather not know the answer to that question, especially if it was the latter. Even if he had jokingly asked it earlier.

Airey simply gave the prefect a quick salute in return...followed by a wink.

No, no closets this term. Hopefully.

She kept GRINNING and even GIGGLED a little at her own joke, 'cause she had been waiting allll summer to use that one.

Chuckling, he beamed back towards the Hufflepuff with a coy smile. “Can’t say that it was that stellar,” he mused. “Seeing as our universe is ever expanding and that would require and exceptionally outstanding event to occur to be able to qualify those standards. Though...I suppose you could say that I did come close.” He finished his sentence with a quick wink, but was not about to divulge his personal affairs with a student. Especially not a classroom full of them.

Airey nodded his head as the Ravenclaw entered, checking his sundial watch once again for the time. Just a few more minutes.

WAS THIS HIS FREEZING-RAY OF DOOM FOR WORLD DOMINATION?! and if so, could he be part of it? :3
Playfully tisking Mr. Hirase, Airey pointed towards an empty seat. “Not today, Mr. Hirase,” he chuckled. Not to mention all of the theory and mathematics were beyond the boy’s capabilities. “Not terribly interesting for you.

“Good afternoon, Professor Flamsteed,” she said, whether or not he was actually paying attention. The look on his face as he read the paper told her that a distraction probably would be welcomed, anyway. And she was always polite to people who deserved it. He hadn’t done anything to not deserve it yet, aside from the weirdness last year that she’d tried to stay out of after the argument with Alexa over evil fairies not existing. Insanity should be pitied, not counted against someone.
And a good afternoon to you as well, Miss Andrews,” he saluted the young snakette.

Instead of taking the chance of stepping out of his shell to talk to the person sitting next to him, he just pulled out his book, parchment, quill, and ink from his bag and waited for class to start.

And while waiting, he couldn't help but wonder what in the world they were going to be doing with pumpkins in ASTRONOMY.
Checking his sundial watch once more, the professor removed his wand from his enchanted pocket and was just about to charm the door closed when a tiny snake came scurrying in.

At the buzzer, Mr. Kyle,”he chuckled, charming the door closed now, signaling the beginning of the lesson.

Alright everyone, if you could please take your seats and cease all other conversations,” he announced, clapping his hands together a few times to get everyone’s attention. “Let’s get this show on the road! For those of you who may have forgotten, I am Professor Flamsteed, but you may call me Professor Airey if you wish. Whichever launches your rocket. And this is Astronomy.” Everyone in the right place? Good.

Strutting back towards his desk and standing in front of it, he waved his finger lazily in all the pumpkin’s directions. “I am sure you are all wondering what these pumpkins have to do with today’s lesson,” he began. “So to put your minds at ease, yes. We will be carving them, but not just yet. All will be revealed in due time.” He adjusted his tie once again, loosening it a bit and giving it a slight tug. He was rather...anxious about what he had to say next, mostly because he did not fancy another visit from Cassiopeia. “I would like to begin today’s lesson with a brief reminder that astronomy and astrology, while both based on common roots, are two very different fields of...study.” Although he would call the latter more make-believe than study, but consider that thought kept to himself. “In summary, astronomy is a science studies the universe and examines the positions, motions, and properties of celestial objects. Astrology attempts to study how those positions, motions, and properties affect people and events on Earth and was considered a part of mainstream science until the late 1600s when Sir Isaac Newton came along.” To which he owed the great astronomer SO much. SOOOOOOO much. “Now, I remind you of this because today’s study ventures back to these ancient times before telescopes and space stations and scientific theory, but in order to understand the present we must also understand the past.

Get it? Got it? Good. Stellar even.

So,” he continued, holding his hands behind his back as he rocked back onto his heels. “Let’s begin today’s journey with the dragon in the room, shall we? Pumpkins. October. As several of you mentioned when you came in this reminds you of Halloween, and you are right. That is precisely the feeling I was going for. But, can anyone tell me what connections Halloween has with astronomy? Anyone care to venture a guess?” Show of hands?
OOC: I am so sorry for the delay in starting, but thank you all for your patience <3

Class has officially started! You do not need to wait for Professor Flamsteed to call on your student to answer, just go ahead and assume that he has done do. Remember, wrong answers count just as much as correct ones, so do not feel like you HAVE to be right. Let your character speak for themselves and get creative!

Got a question? Please do not hesitate to VM or PM me. Or if it is IC go right ahead and ask it of Professor Flamsteed.

Class will resume as soon as I get the chance to reply to everyone - most likely in 24 ish hours.
