Nigel was pretty unconcerned. Which was pretty much normal. Not much bothered him. Plus relaxing after quidditch practice really does wonders. Not too many aches and pains. After a couple terms of practices and matches. You get use to it.

Before he knew it Mo was siting next to him. "Don't tell me you have been doing extra training?" Nigel did not think he needed it. But that hand on his shoulder for balance was telling. Sigh.

He needed to relax a tad bit more or just continue doing Yoga. But that was asking for a miracle.

Kevin didn't want to go to class despite the Astronomy tower being so close to the Gryffindor Common Room. He was embarrassed. Really, REALLY embarressed. The first year had woken up with a horrible sight. He had noticed that his hair was GREY at the top of his head while brushing his hair in front of the mirror and not knowing where it had came from and being too young to know how to get rid of it, he decided that a baseball cap was the best way to conceal it.

Outside the classroom, he used the lint roller like instructed. Normally he would have done something like do a prank on another student but not today. He didn't want any eyes on him for he felt like they were going to laugh at him. And they probably would if they saw his hair. He just wished the Professor wasn't going to ask him to take off the cap... If he did he had to refuse. Better to have some points lost than public embarrassment.

Entering the room, he immediately noticed a man sitting beside a table talking to a fish tank and the first year raised his eyebrow. Okaaaay... weird man. He chuckled at what his Prefect asked about exploding the fish but then remembered he did not like her and he pretended he hadn't heard it. "Hai Professor" was the only thing he said before he found a seat and placed a hand on top of his cap for protection. No one was going to get it off of him!

Lux had only been sitting for a few minutes when she saw that Lucas had arrived. "Hey, Lucas!" She beamed when he took a seat beside her. This lesson would be a lot of fun now that she had one of her best friends sitting with her. "Are you ready for this lesson? I am!" The thought of learning about space was interesting to her, because she had never really studied Astronomy properly before.

Hearing Sander address her, she looked over in his direction and shook her head. "Hey, Sander. I'm good, how are you? I haven't seen her in hours," she admitted while wondering where on earth the girl was. Hopefully Tessa would not be late for class and get in trouble.

My goodness. Astronomy class was going to be the death of Astrid. Why? It was in the evening, and the walk to from the Slytherin Dungeons to the ASTRONOMY TOWER was going to break her bones any moment. Making her way to the Tower was the longest walk ever in her entire life. Gosh. She was so glad that she reached the classroom before passing out. Nope. She CANNOT pass out tonight. This was the first ever Astronomy class she'd be taking at Hogwarts.

Hmm. What was that? Astrid looked closer at the thing at the entrance. OH. Lint roller. Was she supposed to use it? Looking at the people inside the classroom, she blinked. Did they really? Well, it wouldn't be out here for no reason so yeah, she had to use it. Astrid used it to clean her robes of lint and yeah... there, she was clean. Done. She entered the classroom.

"Good evening, Professor. I'm Astrid." Astrid grinned at him. And why does it have to take forever to walk from my common room to reach this place? Heh. "Oooh. Fish! What is it telling you, Professor?" She'd love to learn the art of FISHTALK, you know? Maybe she'd be able to learn it from the Astronomy Professor.

It was strange to be heading to class when it was time to be heading for bed but whatever. It was Astronomy. They weren't likely to check out the stars or planets unless they could see them, right?

She waited for her turn at the lint roller. After it was free, she worked her robes over with a few, good passes and then slipped quietly into the room. "Evening, Professor," she said as she passed him on her way to an empty seat.

She stood outside the classroom staring at the rolly-thing. She saw as students who entered the classroom rolled it upon their robes. It was clear what it was to Beverly. She was good at analyzing things, it was her thing. But...why? Did the professor think they were filthy? Well, not the Slytherins. She, for one, could vow was clean and organized with her belongings.

Either way, she picked it up and tilted her head at it. So...she just rolled it and TA-DAH! lint free? It'd be sort of silly since Kennedy charmed her robes to stay neat and clean. He was a germaphobe. Yet, the third year found herself rolling the lint roller on her sleeves, just to try out the feel of it.

Not bad.

Setting it down, Bev entered the classroom, feeling like a total rule breaker because she just used something muggle - it was against her father's rules. Spotting the professor, she paused. The first thing that came to mind was a fox. More precisely, a fox suit and fox song.

Watching him cautiously, she snatched a desk nearest to the front. "G-Good day, professor," she greeted all shy and stuff. Did he remember her? If he didn't, it'd be embarrassing. If he did it'd still be embarrassing.

Hope very casually strolled up to the Astronomy class room. She had finally been able to get excited for this class and was more than ready to take it on. At the door she cocked her head sideways as she stared at the lint roller. Odd. She inspected herself and didn't see any lint that was in urgent need of being removed so she strolled on right through the door.

The desks were arranged in a circle and on the Professors desk sat a black box. "Hello, Professor Flamsteed." She strolled up to the desk and just stared at the box. "Interesting box." She looked towards him and a wide smile stretched across her face. FISH! He had brought the fish with him to class! The urge to pet it coursed through her, but she was in class, so she crossed her arms and stared at the box. "May I ask what is in the box?"

Michael wasn't particularly fond of Astronomy the subject but Professor Flamsteed was always entertaining and so he made it worth the trek up here.

He picked up the lint roller and gave himself a quick brush over not being overly fussy as to where he was rolling it and if he was even getting any lint off. The temptation to roll it over his hair was a little overwhelming but he forced himself to put the roller down and enter the classroom.

"Evening Professor." He greeted the man and didn't blink an eyelid that the man was talking to a fish. Michael had gotten used this weirdness. He merely scanned the room for a vacant seat.

He spotted 'little bunny' up near the front and he tipped her a wink as he walked by and found himself a seat to sit in.

Ana wasn't so enthused about this lesson. Astronomy was great and all but recently she'd been getting tired more easily, as if the day to day tasks were draining all of her energy. She wasn't sure why and she was tempted to go and see the healer, but then she remembered the Slytherin party and wasn't so keen on the idea. Especially as getting to the Hospital Wing would necessitate asking someone to guide her there, and even though Terry had been nice enough to offer to guide her to classes if she needed it she didn't want to have to explain to anyone why she needed to see the Healer.

Upon reaching the classroom Ana looked dubiously at the lint roller. She was meant to use that? But, it had other peoples hair and stuff on it... Sighing, Ana decided to go for it anyway and was mortified to spot a few grey hairs on it that hadn't been there before she used it. This was horrific! If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't afford to be late for class she probably would have stood outside in shock for a little longer, as it was she moved into the classroom, stopping once more in shock when she noticed that Professor weirdo Flamsteed was the one teaching the class, and talking to a fish???!? She was right in the girl's loo, he definitely had something wrong with him.

Nevertheless she decided to be polite as she approached him, at a slower pace than normal because she was already feeling the strain of having walked upstairs. "Hello Professor, hope you haven't gotten your foot stuck in any more buckets recently," which really meant she hoped he hadn't been sneaking around in the girls loo again. Greeting given Ana walked over to a spare chair and dropped down onto it, not even looking to see who else was already in the room before dropping her head down into her arms. She was so exhausted right now it wasn't funny and would kill for a nap. She didn't dare to fall asleep though, so she made sure to keep her eyes up and focussed on Flamsteed. She didn't want to get a detention from him for sleeping in class when she'd narrowly avoided the one for supposed PDA.

Ignoring the lint roller as usual, Alice entered the Astronomy classroom with a slight variation to her gait. Today, there was a hint of a limp in the lioness' stride, though she tried to hide it. But ever since Alexa kicked her in the shin, her knee hadn't felt the same, and it was killing her again.

The pain had been bearable on her way to the tower, but as soon as she reached the semicircle of chairs, it gave out on her. She collapsed into a seat next to that Toussaint kid, wincing and clutching her knee and mentally praying that Kettleburn wasn't around him today, because she couldn't handle loud third years on top of this all.

"Mo-owww-rning, professor," she greeted through gritted teeth. Merlin. So painful.

She was ready for Astronomy. Yup, ready to stargaze, to clean a scope or FLY up in wings. For whatever the Professor had for them in store, she knew she was going to like it. And it felt better now that she had chosen the subjects she wanted to continue on with. This one she diffenitely wanted to keep. Though she wasn't that great, she was quite satisfied with herself.

Outside by the door, she picked up a lint roller and did what she had to do before stepping inside the class.

"Good day, Professor," Oooh, the fish. The sixth-year wondered if they'd do anything that related the fish. Did sea creatures have anything to do with the stars!? Did they? They'd probably know about that later.

Looking around, the blond smiled as she passed friends of her then chose a seat next to Adelaide. Haaaai dormmate. The ginger got a smile.

Astronomy time! Hayley was excited, really really excited. Her first Astronomy class EVER, wasn't that cool? Of course it was! She was named after a comet anyway and comets were a part of Astronomy, therefore Astronomy was cool. The long trek from the Kitchen floor was really tiring, though, and Hayley was a little bit out of breath by the time she reached the Astronomy Tower.

What was that thing over there? She squinted at it, and then looked at everyone else there and decided that it would be safe to do what they were doing and not use it as a hairbrush. She rolled it over her robes and entered the classroom, still not quite getting why they had to do that. Maybe their professor was a clean freak. That was probably it.

"Good evening, professor."

There, that was settled. Now where was Miss Astrid? She promised Hayley could sit with her. Outer Space Duo thing, y'know?

OH LOOK THERE SHE WAS! Bouncing over to the older girl and plopping herself in the seat next to her, the Hufflepuff beamed at her. "Hi Miss Asteroid," she whispered, still bouncing a little bit in her seat before taking her writing stuff out of her bag. What were they learning today?

BOUNCE.

Astronomy. This was a class that Hannah could deal with. It wasn't a favorite by any means, but it wasn't muggle studies either so she would take it. Hannah was tired and cranky. The seventh year seemed to be tired and cranky always lately. She was hoping that it was her imagination, but she even seemed to be moving slower lately, and that definitely didn't help with her crankiness!

Lint roller. She couldn't forget to roll herself down even though she always kept herself looking fabulous and lint free. Why was her arm not moving fast? It was almost as if she were moving in slow motion. Merlin... this was getting old. She was still a teenager for crying out loud. She eyed the professor upon walking completely into the classroom. "Professor." was all she could manage to get out. She was not in the mood. Hannah took a seat and waited for the lesson to start.

Sarah had been overjoyed with her O in Astronomy, and she was eager to keep it up. The stars sort of facinated her. She used the lint roller on herself and made her way to a place. "Hello Professor" she beamed. "Are you experimenting with fish and space? Like sending it up somehow or doing gravity test on the fish, that way we can determine the life of other human forms at space. Like, when there was water on mars, were there fish there too?" She had a lot of questions... and she was starting already.

Astrid was struggling. Trying not to sleep and trying not to show any sign of tiredness even if she wanted to go back to her dormitory and cuddle with Peewee, her Pygmy Puff. But then... YEAH. THAT VOICE WAS FAMILIAR. And, who else would call her 'Miss Asteroid'? Of course, Astrid knew who this was.

"Hi, Miss Comet," the Slytherin greeted her. Hufflepuff wasn't that bad. They had Alec and Ella, after all. There was an empty seat beside her too so Hayley could definitely sit. So yeah... now she wasn't that sleepy. She didn't wanna get embarrassed in front of a first year. That'd be weird, right?

Ahem. She'd love to talk to Hayley about how Hogwarts was so far but you know, there was a Professor in front. "We can talk after class, yeah?" she whispered. The Puff would understand.

Adi was still brooding about his grey hairs. In addition his mind was in hyper drive. Was this grey hairs linked with the sluggishness he had been feeling earlier? What was happening to him? He wondered if this was happening to anyone else...

Now, who was that shouting his name? "Lucas! Hey!'' Or should Adi refer to him as Broomhead as Robin did? He glanced at the seat, welcome for a friendly distraction. ''Sure, buddy.'' He grinned. "So what's up?''

Ian walked on into the classroom after taking off the lint using the supplied brush. It seemed odd to de-lint prior to entering a classroom where the main focus was on the skies, however he didn't want to be a rule breaker. As he walked in, he saw other students already seated and the professor squatting next to that empty fish tank. Not wanting to distract the professor from his 'important' professorial task, he looked for an empty seat near some other Huffie boys and sat down. He set about arranging his things for class.

Robin had so many questions and they all started with the lint roller. She rolled it over her clothes to make sure they were all clean or whatever lint rollers were supposed to do. Was she a cat or something? Or maybe the professor was allergic to cats so he didn't want any cat hairs in the room- that would make sense, especially because of the fish. She did a double take with the lint roller- in case he took points away for missed spots. She did what she had been doing for 90% of her classes and sat somewhere random, hoping no one would ask her to move. She got out her class supplies and glanced next her her, only to do a double take in surprise.
"You!" She smiled a little, a familiar face was better than a stranger...right?
She looked around for Adriennes friend Tora who always seemed to be around.
"Has Tora arrived?"

class officially starts here <3
