Not to mention the entire situation at Hogwarts which, if the memo he had received from the Minister the other day was indicative of, had a new trajectory to go on. A promising one. So that was something at least.

Wringing his hands as he went about his inspection, the unrest from the missing rock pillows hitting a bit too close to home to a certain missing blue tie from his Hogwarts days, the Mysteries department head decided to double back and check the nooks and crannies of the fireplaces on the off chance that one had rolled itself here. He had already held a candlelight vigil for his tie, he really did not wish to hold more for his rock pillows.

"Ah, Adam. Just arriving are we?" the astronomer questioned with a wary smile.

Was Airey acting weird? Perhaps. But Adam had worked with the man long enough to personally think that Airey always acted a bit oddly. Then again, Adam wasn’t exactly the poster boy for normal himself. Maybe if Adam’s eyesight was like it had been pre-star supernova, he’d have noticed the twitchiness in his boss, but Adam’s eyesight was still near blind despite his new eyewear.

Besides, Adam was preoccupied inside his own head, still going through a mental inventory of potions ingredients (he had been on knotgrass) and had almost missed Airey’s comment completely. It took him a moment for his mind and eyes to focus on the man in front of him. Did it occur to Adam that Airey’s comment might be one to worry about? No. Adam was usually punctual and rarely missed work (well, work-related injuries being the exception). If he was late, he’d make it up and stay late. ”Ah Airey.Ja, rough morning. Still adchusting to zeze.” He pushed the glasses up at the bridge with a finger. He’d walked smack into the corner of his small kitchen table while making breakfast and was bound to end up with a nice bruise on his thigh. He had a feeling one of his plants had moved the table on him. He wasn’t sure if it was the snarfalump or his fanged geranium, but his money was on the geranium. Even for a touchy plant, his was particularly grumpy. ”Did vou have ein good holiday?” he asked completely forgetting about the poorly wrapped package under his arm. ”I did not zee vou at zee Gala.” In fact, he hadn’t been able to enjoy much at the Gala thanks to Zita and that windbag James.

Which reminded him, he owed Mairana an apology. Maybe he could find her when he went up to the greenhouses to look for peppermint. And since he was going he might as well make sure the department didn’t need anything else. ” I have to go to zee greenhouzes today. Anything vou know zat is needed vile I am zere?”
