The astronomer could feel his skin crawling already, and not just because of some of the more hair raising portions of the lesson. Although those thoughts did not help much. No, what had the man standing there as though he had ants in his pants until the first few students began trickling in through the door was the fact that he had neglected to bring down the table holding his lint roller. Students were going to walk in her with lint and Orion knows what else!

He didn't know if it was illegal too... Uuuuuuuuuuuuuum?
Oh. Apparently that was all? WAS THERE SOMETHING ON HIS SUIT?!
He began to check himself over instead of returning a greeting to the Hufflepuff. What? WHAT?!

And Culloden got a big smile. Obviously. Finding absolutely nothing wrong with his suit, the Astronomy professor would have to continue to wonder what that 'um' had been about as Mr. Whitlock entered the classroom. "Hay is for horses, Mr. Whitlock." Did he know?
Har har.
He almost made himself laugh at that.
Pebbles would have enjoyed that joke.
Cue some manly lip quivering.

... Lamenting over the loss of Pebbles, Airey failed to hear the birthday congratulations Mr. Rehman was receiving. Perhaps if he had heard he would have offered to sing to him...or perhaps not. SOME people did not appreciate his tenor stylings. He did, however, manage a small salute to the prefect before he sat down.

After giving them their greetings, he turned around and began to walk to find his seat. "You'll find out soon enough," he assured Mr. Lecium. Literally. No beating around the bush this time. They had a lot of ground to cover this evening.

Stiiiill pondering.
Still wanting to go home too. Mr. McWitty received a polite nod of the head as he entered, which also reminded the Head of House he needed to speak to the boy about some unfortunate odors he had received complaints about coming from his side of the room.

... "Good evening, Miss Guidry," he greeted the Ravenclaw while taking nervous glances towards his sundial watch to check the time. "Hopefully you will find the subject matter to be...really something to sink your teeth into."
Medea would have appreciated that one.
And now it was time for some more manly lip quivering.

He vaguely registered the three men there waiting on them the students to arrive. "Hello Professors..." he greeted, including them all together before turning to look for a seat. Against his wishes, his gaze found his best friend, as always seated besides Henric.
... Uuuuuuuuuuuuh...this Gryffindor was oozing with teenage angst. The professor may be rather socially inept, but it was written all over the boy's face. Sabel could handle this one should, er, the need arise.
"Hello, Mr. Atreyu."

Right. Here we go, McGee. He managed to return the wave to Miss McGee and even mustered a welcoming smile. It was the least she could do after all that pet rock publicity from earlier in the term.

Would they be playing with water and tides today? She couldn't see how they would tie in nicely with Potions or Defence against the dark arts, so perhaps they wouldn't be. But still, it was lovely. That was quite the spectrum of greetings just now. Quite amusing, really. And what was it with so many students, the majority female, getting all quiet and squeaky when addressing Sabel? Why not himself or Cogsrach? Peculiar...very peculiar...
"Thank you, Miss Burton," he replied, all anxious wiggle dancing ceasing entirely at this point. "The moon certainly has a way of transforming the mood of things, don't you agree."
Har har.

Of classes, she meant. Just so they knew. "But it's interesting, 'n m'glad it's with three of my favorite professors." Flattered, he was. Smile, he did not.
Although the words were well received, Miss Brown. Your Astronomy professor is still being a bit of a stick in the mud about his missing pet rock. Lessons were a stellar distraction, however.
"I think you will find that it is not weird at all, Miss Brown," he winked. "And hopefully have a howling good time when you do realize this."
HAR HAR.

"Hello, Miss Wojack," he greeted the Slytherin. Perhaps he should hire her out to use a lint roller on all these cobwebs sometime. She was, as he had finally come to learn, rather proficient with rolling up spiders and other unwanted debris with it. "It certainly is. No better night this month, in fact."

"Hay is for horses," he hummed, opting to ignore Miss Valentine's question because that would just not end well for anyone.

... Bowing, right. The astronomer instinctively returned it, having become somewhat accustomed to doing so on the occasional business trip to Asian countries, but neglected to actually say anything back to the Gryffindor.

Again, going to ignore the 'good day' sort of rhetorical questions. Things were hard without Pebbles around...on top of everything else.

Also, he was pretty sure that if he opened his mouth just to say hi, he might get stuck in the 'on' position and never shut up again. Sooooo instead, Toby just nodded at them all and went ahead to go sit by Soph, where he continued twirling his wand (just like Dakest, he'd noticed, which had actually made him falter for just a moment, but not enough to make him stop). As he sat there, he jiggled his legs and hummed as quietly as he could in an attempt to keep moving and appease his brain but hopefully not bother anyone.
... Mr. Toby sure was twitchy....and doing a lot of staring at himself and his colleague. Almost like he was too shy to ask something...OH! The astronomer recognized what was going on here.
"You still have time, Mr. Toby. Loo is just down the hall to your left."

... Airey ventured a look out the window towards the moon. Light refracting illusions were really all the rage these days, didn't they know? Without saying anything, the professor just winked at the Slytherin before turning to his sundial watch again.
Just a few more minutes...

Now, where were the professors? a quick look around and he spotted them. "Hiya sirs" he waved before taking a seat and grabbed his chapstick to use. Glancing over at Sabel and Costrach, his eyes sending a silent message to his colleagues that he was ready to get started, Airey turned his head towards the Gryffindor as he approached. "Good evening, Mr. Hyland."
Sir. Ugh.

Airey was not sure if Miss Hapgood was trying to start a staring contest or not - something he would gladly take up as a distraction outside of the classroom, for the record - but the stare was...okay. He just was not going to make eye contact and stare at his sundial watch instead.

"Hello, professor Culloden." Pause. "Professor Dakest, professor Flamsteed." Half distracted by his watch, Airey offered the Hufflepuff a halfhearted wave.
********
Giving one last glance towards his colleagues, he firmly nodded his head and removed his wand from the holster tucked away in his enchanted breast pocket.
" Good evening, everyone. Please take your seats and get situated. Welcome to PAD - a Potions, Astronomy, and Defense Against the Dark Arts joint lesson," he announced as he turned his back briefly towards the class to enchant the chalk on the board to write one word in very large print: WEREWOLVES
" Allow me to put your minds at ease at just what will be the focus of today's lesson," he said, now turning back towards the class. Although he thought the topic was rather obvious given the three subject, but perhaps it was the approach that the three professors were taking that would surprise students more. " Werewolves. Before we get into them specifically, let us all back up to what is arguably the most important aspect of these beings, the Moon. More specifically, the lunar cycle."
Yes, he knew. Boooooo BRING ON THE WEREWOLF TALK! But logistics first, Hogwartians. They would get to the real meat of things soon.
With a flick of his wand, Airey summoned some supplies from the box on the desk and levitated them towards each of the students - and his fellow professors. " As we have been discussing in Astronomy so far this term, the Moon plays a key role in relation to our planet, Earth. It primarily controls the tides, it helps regulate our climate by slowing the Earth's rotation and creating our 24 hour days, nights would be MUCH darker without it, and it helps maintain our axial tilt. Now, these are all very large scale things. Perhaps so large that, for some of you, it is difficult to grasp just how influential. But, as you are all aware of, it doesn't just influence the natural world...but it plays a key role in many aspects of the magical world."
With all the props not floating in front of the faces of students, Airey conjured a MASSIVE bluebell flame that spun itself into a floating sphere - he had become quite partial to them this term - and left it floating in font of the semi-circle of desks.
" If my colleagues will allow me this brief introduction," which, well, they didn't really have too much of a choice because here he went. " ...a werewolf is a human being who, upon the complete rising of the full moon, becomes a fearsome and deadly near-wolf. To quote your textbooks." Because that was the extent of his knowledge. Mostly.
" What I would like you all to do now is to pluck your Styrofoam ball on a stick and stand by your desk with it," he instructed. " We will be going over the moon phases with a brief demonstration to start." Waiting a moment until everyone was out of their seats with their moon-on-a-stick, he waved his wand again to put out any other light in the classroom. Even the shine from the moon outside seemed to have dimmed and he no longer stood in a spotlight. For now, at least, the only real source of light was the giant floating bluebell flame.
" Now, we can only ever see half of the moon from earth. This is because the other side is always turned away from us. As the moon orbits around the earth, we see different fractions of the same face of the moon as it is lit by the sun. Please lift your moon-on-a-stick up and hold it between your face and the floating bluebell flame, please. Your head is acting as the earth. The bluebell flame, the sun. There is no light falling on the part of the moon you are looking at. Who can tell me what phase of the moon this is or share a fact slash bit of fun trivia about this particular phase?" OOC: class will resume in approximately 17 hours from the time of this post.
Please note your character DOES NOT have to answer the question, but it is imperative for participation points that they follow Professor Flamsteed's instructions with what to do with your moon-on-a-stick <3 Just don't try to poke each other's eyes out with them, okay?
