SPOILER!!: Daxton

He had only just developed the beginnings of a solid theory when the professor was talking again.

In the interests of hearing Airey Flamsteed more clearly and not needing to revert to lip-reading - something he was learning but still far from flawless at - Daxton reached up and gently nudged one 'ear' of his earmuffs away from its optimal position. It made the noise of the room all the more striking, and Daxton did his best to fight off a pained expression as he looked off at the proceedings in the classroom, and then back at the astronomer.

Mention of the Healer brought about a very sudden response. Sudden, but subtle, though present nevertheless. Daxton tensed ever so slightly, his own eyes widening as he shook his head just a little. No Healer. Absolutely not a chance. And what if he left anyway, and avoided the Healer? Daxton had a sudden mental image of said Healer seeking him out, somehow informed of the fake ailment. It was too much to risk, and the Ravenclaw shook his head again, more vehemently this time, though his expression had been reigned in from hints of fear to its usual unreadable state.

But that left staying, which Daxton was not exactly keen on either. He kept his eyes fixed on Airey Flamsteed, before his attention was predictably drawn to the mesmerising progress of the green ball, and he watched it closely for several long moments.

Eventually, once several more moments had passed, Daxton released the handle of the door and let it swing gently closed behind him, and let that simple action speak for him. Dragging his eyes away from the green ball, he glanced at the other students in the room again, and then at Airey Flamsteed once more. Fine. He would stay. Fine.

But only because he did not want to risk the Healer coming anywhere near him.

Maybe he could just sit on the sidelines, and wait out the rest of the activity, and Airey Flamsteed could forget about him having to 'make up' for anything. Technically, he had not missed any of the lesson. Technically, he had been present for the entire thing.

Another small victory, although the man's face showed no indication of gloating. Even if he was terribly pleased with himself at the moment. "Very well then," he nodded, his wand out to summon some more parchment from his desk across the way. "In place of participation, you may sit and write out a chart comparing and contrasting Mars and Earth. Use of textbook permitted." Although Mr. Prince probably did not need to use such tools to accomplish the task.

This plan was two fold, really. On the one had it would, hopefully, keep the Ravenclaw occupied for the remainder of things - which would not be too much longer now - while also creating something that the professor could utilize in the near future. So he could allocate his time to more pressing matters.

Preparing to throw the green ball back into the crowd, the astronomer spotted something he really should NOT be seeing. The whole ordeal with Mr. Zeke and the Slytherins included - although given the nature of teenagers these days, he was surprised that this sort of thing had not happened sooner. Especially without quidditch around to get out all that pent up aggression.

But as long as no one was crying, he wouldn't draw further attention to matters. Although Miss Lynch's words sounded like an invitation to him. Ahem.

"WAND AWAY, MISS MOSS!" he shouted at the Ravenclaw. Which seemed to be a moot point considering that her spell hadn't worked in the long run. Oh well, word of caution to all then!

Maybe she could catch him off guard, though...

"I'm WIDE OPEN!" she called out, raising her hands. "Give me your best throw!" She HAD to get that ball back before any of the Gryffindor boys saw what was going on.

Wide open for...OH RIGHT!

"Alright, it's yours," he mused, haphazardly tossing the ball towards the first year as though he were a rookie pitcher taking the mound in their first game of the season.

OOC: approximately 10-12 hours before the activity closes

at present, Hufflepuff has ZERO balls on their platform.
