Oh Piers.. This old child grown man was acting as if tortured, well then again he probably was if it got in his eyes. "Hold still mate.." Or not, as he was pulled closer instead. Sighing, he continued to gripped his shoulder a little tighter just so he could stop flailing while using his other hand to gently wipe off his eyes and whole face after taking off the gloves. Noooow he could see.

Looking pretty is my main goal in life. Fighting the urge to snort at that, because their faces were too close thanks to Piers' tugging. Hm.. "Well.. least you don't need glitter to do that." Now that he had a full frontal view on his face.. his eyes, nose and everything. Javy didn't think he was pretty anymore but- Handsome.. Not even thinking as he tilted and leaned his head in.. to wipe off the imaginary glitter from Piers' lips with his own.

Oh, okay. Javy had a hold of him now. He was good. Piers held still while Javy gently cleared the glitter off his eyes and patiently waited. When he finally opened his eyes, Piers blinked a few times just to make sure there wasn't any stray glitter pieces sneaking around. Ah, all better.

That's when he realized how close Javy actually was to him. Piers looked at him as he finished clearing the rest of the glitter off his face. He had always noticed that when Javy would concentrate on something, his brow would furrow and create those little wrinkles in between his eyebrows and it was actually pretty cut--

Oh. Hello.

Piers was suddenly taken by surprise, right out of his little mini-trance there when he felt something warm touch his lips. Oh, Merlin. It was Javy. Javy was....... kissing him??? Piers' eyes went wide and blinked a few times at the sudden feeling. Once the surprise faded and reality set in, Piers closed his eyes. Because when your best friend kisses you, you kiss them back. Or at least Piers did. Because he liked it.

The thing is, when you go to visit Flammy of all people, you do not expect to get a show. Dinner maybe, but not the sort of show that West was suddenly confronted with. Two grown, glitter-covered, male professors, mid-kiss?

No.

Nope.

Never happens.

Never.

Except it did.

Right there.

Right in front of his eyes.

West was pretty damned sure he'd never imagined that before. That what he was seeing was not something from his usual go-to imaginings. That was real. That was Fuller and that was Thompson and they were kissing and West did NOT need to see that.

WAS THERE SOMETHING IN THE DAMNED WATER AT HOGWARTS?

On top of everything else in his life, he didn't need the added confusion. It didn't help either, knowing that it wasn't just... sigh. He backed up quietly, inwardly freaking out but not yet having been able to tear his eyes away. Seeing Flammy could wait, West backed up slowly, hoping not to uh... interrupt. DID NOT NEED PROFESSORS TO KNOW HE HAD SEEN THEM DOING UNEXPECTED STUFF. SWEET CIRCE, WHY HIM? WHY NOW?

Really really? Pierson?

Nose scrunched up a little from trying to figure out THAT puzzle, she stared at the astronomer's bruising chin. Really though... Pierson? "I vould haff never haff guessed it to be him." she commented softly, leaning up to give a light kiss next to the injured spot. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Really," he chuckled while subconsciously giving his bum and rub. "No real harm done, I have suffered worse from others on staff." Like when Erik PUNCHED him in the face for trying to save whats-her-face. Thankfully those two fake teeth were no longer necessary since the aging cure had magically helped them grow back. Had all his natural teeth back in now.

And needed to find a new muggle dentist because there was just no explaining how that had happened.

"I'll be getting him back, of course," he continued, completely unaware that Medea was moving closer to him as he spoke. That is until he felt her lips on his skin and then he was VERY aware, shivered slightly, and reached forward to grab her hand with his own. "I am now," he whispers, his ears turning a rosy hue.

SPOILER!!: love birds & West

He was exhausted and rightly so. Had been a rather rigorous workout running around in those plastic balls, not to mention dealing with all the students who were somewhat gravity impaired and managed to hurt themselves. No matter. All he wanted to do now was return to his office and have himself several nice warm cups of tea before inviting Medea over to watch some more of his vintage Cosmos muggle DVDs and -

"Evening, Mr. Odessa," he greeted the seventh year, eye wide with surprise as the boy backed up right into him. "I thought you would have been heading back to your common room after class. Question about something?"

Or so he foolishly assumed until he followed the boy's gaze and....

What in the world?!

It wasn't the painted walls, or the painted furniture, or the vandalization of the magazine cover that had taken him some 15 years of research to finally accomplish that had gotten his attention. Nope. The only thing that had his undivided attention was the fact that his colleagues were standing in the middle of HIS seating area SNOGGING.

"Surely you gentleman could have found a more romantic and private setting for such an elaborate love confession," he groaned as he stepped around Mr. Odessa and strut towards the two rather smugly. G

Called it. Totally had called it.

Glitter though...really? Although he had read that everyone had their, er, thing, but certainly was not his cup of tea. And...wasn't he the one who was supposed to be glitter trousers? He had heard as much from the whispers in the corridors among students. What an ironic twist of events. HA!

They were also aware that he had a doctorate...which made him a doctor, not a priest, yeah? Something that was left unsaid for the time being.

"I would recommend you move this to the Observatory, but I am trying to turn the Astronomy Tower into a place of scientific inquiry and discovery," he added, eyebrow raised and arms folded across his chest.

They were going to clean all this up, yeah?

There were a lot of things going on in Javy's mind during this moment.. and none of them mattered to be quite frank, if you asked him. The kiss being great was the understatement of the century, which made him want to prolong it. Unfortunately, Merlin had other plans and that involved Airey's voice.

........

Removing himself from Piers at arms length he looked around, somewhat disoriented because of well, all the glitter and pink and extra things that Javy was not a big fan of around him. Then he could see Airey and.. huh, one of his students, Odessa. Lovely..

Now this was awkward. The painful kind of awkward, that practically drowned out majority of what Airey was saying. No really, couple that with the decorations and kissing could mess with anyone's focus. The body language however stuck in. "....You don't like it?" Javy blinked at Airey. You know, since he was big on pranks and not to mention the pink and glitter the students liked to mention with his reputation. Back him up here Piersie.. or well, maybe not.. Javy frowned a little at him wondering if he made a huge mistake kissing his best friend.

Penelope was just going to stop by Professor Flamsteed's office and ask him a question before going back to the Ravenclaw common room. When she got there it was clear that this was not what would happen because everything was covered in glitter. It looked like the professor would need help cleaning up the glitter. The glitter was probably all over his suit, and glitter does not come off suits easily. Maybe Airey knew a good cleaning charm that would work on the suit. Unsure of what to do, Penelope knocked on the door.

In the aftermath that had been the night before, Airey had been trying his best to avoid so much as looking at his seating area let alone pass through it - which was a very difficult thing to do if not downright impossible. Worst of all was that his magazine cover was still..............that. Gryffindor pride in shambles really. Not that he had spent any amount of time manly wibbling in his office or anything.

.......................nope. None at all.

Hearing a knock at his door, the astronomer set his book down on the coffee table beside his tea and jumped off the couch to open it.

"Good day, Miss Wright! How can I be of assistance?"

Professor Flamsteed came out. "Good day professor. I have a question to ask you, but I thought you might need some help cleaning up this first," Penelope said, looking around at the glitter and paint. "Is that glitter on your suit?"

Ah, yes. The mess.

"I appreciate the thought," he nodded. "But I at least have a path to and from my office, sort of, so that will do for now. It it my hope that the ones who caused this vandalization will set things right."

Stepping to the side, he held the door open for the Ravenclaw. "Why do you come on in and we can discuss whatever it is you have questions about over some tea?"

OOC: you can go ahead and post in the office now. WELCOME! :3

Being back at Hogwarts meant Addi had to go visit Flamsteed. That man was definitely her favorite professor and she could really use someone to talk to right now. Her friends were helpful, but maybe an adult would be more helpful with what she should do. If you could count Flamsteed as an adult.

Plus they needed to have their yearly tea session. She already had brownies and cookies fresh from the oven ready to go. She knocked on the door lightly, hoping the professor was in there.

You know, since he was big on pranks and not to mention the pink and glitter the students liked to mention with his reputation. Back him up here Piersie.. or well, maybe not.. Javy frowned a little at him wondering if he made a huge mistake kissing his best friend.

Well, no doubt things had been a little... different with Javy lately, especially after they had moved in together as roommates. And he had wondered... but he never seriously imagined this would happen. Especially not in Flamsteed's now extremely hot pink and glittery seating area. And he certainly did not expect an audience. So, when Piers suddenly heard the voice of one of the LAST people he wanted to see at the moment (no offense), he immediately became aware of WHAT was happening and took a few very brisk steps backwards.

Oh, Merlin. Odessa was there. After that thing with his cousin??? WORST possible audience ever.

Needless to say, Piers' face was as red as a tomato at that moment. He had just kissed best friend and now Airey was standing there suggesting they find somewhere else to confess their love. Not having ANY clue what to say or do, Piers just stood there and stared at Javy. But only for a second. He didn't know what to do. Or say.

"Uhhhhhh..... I gotta go." He had nothing to contribute to this conversation and he kind of needed to be alone with his thoughts for the next.... 57 years.

So that was it. Piers, wide eyed and red as a tomato, briskly walked himself right past Javy, Airey, and West and quietly exited the scene of the crime. The confession. The whatever-the-hell-that-just-was.

FULLER OUT.

Ohhh no Flammy. Really? Did he have to draw attention like that rather than just let him escape unseen? West winced at the sound of his name, right in the midst of an awkward meltdown.

"Uhh... no. Nothing. Nope. It can w-*crack*-ait." Yeah. Nope. West didn't even have the capacity to appreciate the new decor or the glitter. Nope. His mind was full of nope.

He stood there for a moment more and cringed visibly at Flamsteed's words to the other professors. Elaborate love confession? Nope.

Looking entirely freaked out and without the ability to even make some polite efforts at excusing himself, the former Slytherin Captain pretty much bolted, proving he could move just as fast off of a broom as he could on one.

Nope. Nope. Nope.

He would be keeping his mouth shut about this.

SPOILER!!: *wheezes* you three :3

Nope. Nope. Nope.

He would be keeping his mouth shut about this.

And then there were two.

He could hardly blame Mr. Odessa for running away though. Seeing professors outside of the classroom was like a dog walking on its hind legs. Or worse. A feline. Then add the, er, intimate setting of it all and you may as well have walked in on an martian landing on the grounds. Or so he would have thought as a student. He had felt weird eating meals in the same room as his professors.

He had hardly given the Slytherin a parting wave when another body went rushing by him. This time in the shape of the Charms professor. Really now? Going to vandalize the place AND break his no snogging in the Astronomy Tower rule and then scurry off before he could throw you in detention. Wait, COULD he do that to professors? He would if he had caught students doing it outside his office.

Questions to ask the Headmistress perhaps. Not that he really wanted to go to the woman and say something like 'So I caught two staff snogging in front of my office door after turning the entire area glittery pink. Can I give them a detention?" No, he would rather just forget he had seen any of this. Private lives were best kept just that. Private.

Turning towards the Creatures professor, now that they were alone and all, he felt his insides knot and he rocked back and forth on either foot. "I'm not opposed to change....per say," he replied. Since the man did deserve a reply to his question despite THINGS. "But surely you could have guessed that this is far from my taste." Although he couldn't resist scooping up some glitter and blowing it towards the man.

Too soon? Probably. But he tended to do socially unacceptable things when he felt awkward and squirmy.

"Just, do me a favor. Well...two really," he continued, his tone turning somewhat serious. "One. Let my sister down gently, yeah?" Short pause. The second was not really a favor. Not really a request either. More of an expectation. "And two. You two are going to clean this all up. Glitter is not good for the suits...and if Hershel eats any of this it will make an even bigger mess."

Glittery ferret poop and hurl was just totally unnecessary.

Plus they needed to have their yearly tea session. She already had brownies and cookies fresh from the oven ready to go. She knocked on the door lightly, hoping the professor was in there.

Drowning in research papers on his desk - why had he allowed himself to become obsessed with archaeoastronomy again? He still had important exoplanet research to complete! - he quickly closed one of the massive folders when he heard a knock at the door. SPIES COULD BE ANYWHERE YOU KNOW!

Cautiously, he made his way towards the door and opened it just a crack so he could peer at who was standing outside. Now...the question was....was that REALLY Miss Adams standing there? Or some sort of foul play? Nah, with all the added security at Hogwarts right now he had to assume the best, yeah? Confidence in the Ministry and all that.

"Ah, good day Miss Adams," he greeted as he opened the door fully. "Come for tea I assume? Come on in. Just put a fresh brew in the pot."

OOC: you can post in the office <3

Well, that went as planned.. not. Javy inwardly groaned at what was happening now. He really done it this time. He kissed Piers. Merlin, he kissed Piers and now he probably lost his best mate for good. Letting his stomach drop at the thought on how twenty-one years of their friendship since their first year at Hogwarts really ended as Piers ran off before Odessa. All because of him. You didn't need to be a Puffer to have that kind of pain affect you. Really.

Flashes of from their first meeting over a dumb frog, to them causing havoc in the school, graduation, all that went through his head. Frowning deeply while Space Man was talking about.. something. Yeah, he still wasn't paying attention until he got a spray of glitter to the face.

.....

"What?" Looking at him, as he went on about letting his sister down gently.. Huh? What sister? Oh.. She was the only one who sent him a response to that bachelor article that he never signed up for along all that food for Lala. "..Sure." To the part about letting her know easily, he was good with that. Unless it was Cassie, since she was an expert on not taking hints. Meh, he was thinking too much again. "Yeah.. I'll get to it." Something about glitter and clean up, he pieced in between his thoughts. That would be simple with Piers.. if he ever talked with him again. Damn. He needed to go for a walk. "Later.." Yeah, he needed his focus back before even thinking to clean up.

Walking past Airey, Javy left in a sullen state, slightly hunched over.. with the sparkly glitter trailing behind his dragging feet.

The bruise didn't look like it felt fine at all, but, if he was suuuuure. If the situation were reversed, she wouldn't have responded any different anyhow.

Besides, he said he was alright now. Unaware of the rosy ears, even if that would've earned a giggle from her 'cause rosy ears need there be more said, a smile gradually appeared as she laced her fingers with his. "Good." she whispered back, and gave a proper kiss. "By the vay...if you can acquire a picture of your reprisal, I vould certainly like to see it."

Arista received a letter from her mum saying she knew she hadn't introduced herself to the Professors and that if she didn't she would be taking her 'rat' away. So she would be going to be saying hello to the professors but she would also be bringing her 'rat' who was a ferret. They were better than rats. Gosh mums.

So she went to Professor Flamsteed's office. He seemed like an interesting professor so he was the first she was going to go talk to. She stopped suddenly upon entering the seating area.... OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Glitter everywhere!! She was so engrossed she almost forgot about her little Anneliese. Almost. "No Anneliese! You can't eat the glitter!!!" She grabbed her ferret and held her. Who would do such a thing?

SPOILER!!: Javy :3

And then there was one.

Well then...nothing left for him to do but clear a path from his office to the corridor so he could at least get through his waiting area somewhat glitter free. He had to wonder how long his patience would endure all this...glitter and PINK outside of his office.

Answer? Probably not very long, but he could be stubborn when he wanted to and those two WOULD be the ones to clean it up.

Without the snogging.

Waving awkwardly as the Care of Magical Creatures professor left, he looked down at the ground and then back towards his office door. Nope. Definitely just going to go into his office, make tea, and curl up on his couch with a good book to unwind for a little.

Giving her hand a gentle squeeze as their fingers laced together, he smiled against Medea's lips. "Even better now," he whispered as he returned the kiss softly and briefly. It was, you know, sort of awkward kissing in this space now.

"You know me too well," he chuckled as he rocked back on his heels while still holding her hand. Of course he would give her a picture, but before getting to that... "Don't suppose you would like to combine our creative forces and think of something?" He was also sort of making cruppy eyes at her while his thumb traced random patterns on the back of her hand.

Come on, Medea, you knooooooooooow you wanna...

Airey was once again, engrossed in research at his desk when he heard some sort of commotion going on outside of his office. Sweet solstice...what were Javy and Piers trying to do NOW to him. Hadn't the opening feast and the glitter disaster been more than enough for a while? Let the astronomer play in this pranking war before attacking again, you know?

Grumbling to himself and with his wand at the ready - always good to come prepared - he pulled open the door to his office and peered outside to see a student instead of the two professors. Which was...a relief? Perhaps even a mild disappointment to a certain extent, but no matter.

"Miss Royal," he greeted before his blue eyes rested on the ferret in her hands. "If you are needing creature assistance I think you have come to the wrong place."

Arista was so caught up with watching Anneliese, she forgot that she was about to go talk to Professor Flamsteed. The Professor's voice brought her back to reality tough. She gave a smile and giggled. Creature assistance? The first year stood there staring at the Professor... What in the world was he going on about? Creature assistance.. She gave him a confused look before realizing he was talking about her ferret.

He had not noticed the dumbfounded look right? "Oh no Professor, Anneliese is perfectly healthy. She just came with me to tag along. Plus she had to get out of the common room." She walked forward a bit before stopping taking a look at the glitter and pink walls she looked back towards Professor Flamsteed, "I like...what you have done with the place Professor." she held in a laugh. Being polite sure was hard sometimes, she really wanted to tell him he had to re-decorate but her mum would find out if she did such a thing! Anneliese moving in her hands gave her an idea, nice but rude at the same time. "Anneliese wanted some of the glitter... But that would be a horrid mess." See gave him a hint that he should clean up without being horribly rude!

"Ah," he said after a long pause of just looking around the seating area at the young Gryffindor and her pet. The professor of, oh, three years or so ago would have dismissed the young woman and her pet since there was fur on the creature and fur was a no-no...but circumstances had changed and he wasn't AS opposed to the idea of fur these days. Students could thank a certain dark haired professor for that. Felines though...that was still a no go.

"Well, Hershel would certainly appreciate a playmate of his own kind," he mused while also raising a questioning brow towards the Gryffindor. Students did not usually bring this variety of pet to Hogwarts, especially considering that it was not on the approved list of pets for first years.

She...liked it? Merlin. "Not my choice," he grumbled as he held the door open with his body. "This is all the result of a failed prank. But how about you step inside my office. I promise it is a glitter free environment."

OOC: you can go ahead and post inside the office now <3

The boy sniffed his runny nose loudly and rubbed it , causing it to turn a bit redder than it already was. Yep, Kevin was getting a cold thanks to the drastic weather outside. His body ached as he was finally at the top floor of the castle and turned a corner towards the Astronomy office.

The reason why he was here? HIS HAT! the man had his hat for over a year now and this time he was DETERMINED to get it back! He quickly grabbed a tissue out of his pocket and sneezed.

The sight of the seating area made him stop in his track though. Did he walk the wrong way? Why were the walls pink ....and....the seats covered in glitter? He didn't know the Professor liked...that. Oh he was going to make fun of him now~

Walking over the narrow glitter-free path towards the door, Kevin knocked on it. This time only three times and stepped back. He then stood in a fighting stance and pointed his wand at the door.

He wasn't going to attack. Just a precaution in case the Professor petrified him AGAIN.

It was becoming more and more difficult to conduct his research with the current weather and the astronomer had already missed two deadlines due to the cloud coverage. It was bad. His supervisors on the project were growing anxious and impatient without results and Airey's credibility was at stake. Which is why he had had to change up his research topic temporarily. Only he was still finding it difficult to come to any conclusions.

What was going on made no sense at all. Nothing scientific about it.

He was neck deep in papers on his desk when he heard the knock at the door and figured it was about time he stood up to stretch his legs, so he walked over to the door and opened it.

"Ah, Mr. Hirase. Come to schedule a rematch or are you here to file a complaint about how the house elves treated you after I dropped you off in the kitchens?"

When the office door opened, Kevin kept pointing his wand at the Professor who stood in the doorway now. And the way he talked so casual made him slightly angry. He had a wand pointed at him! Wasn't he scared?! Stupid old people thinking children weren't scary HMPF.

He lowered his wand when he was sure that the Professor wasn't going to attack him again and shrugged his shoulders. "Not really, maybe when i'm older and much better at this duel stuff" you know, when he was better at defending himself and using more advanced curses.

At the mention of him having dropped him off at the kitchen made him feel embarrassed. His cheeks turned as red as his nose and he coughed. Luckily it wasn't a fake cough cause those were easily spotted but a real nasty cough. When he was finished, the boy looked at the Professor and narrowed his ...already half asleep looking eyes.

"If there should be a complaint file it should be about you and not the elves. When i say i can walk by myself, i can walk by myself!" he said as his voice sounded like he had pinched his nose closed.

suddenly remembering the REAL reason why he was here, Kevin put his hands in his pocket and tried to look behind the Professor and in to his office. Maybe he could see his hat from here? "I came here to get my hat back! You know...the one you have for OVER A YEAR NO---AAAAAACHOOOO! --W!" The loud sneeze had come out all of the sudden and the boy had been too late to grab a tissue.

There was a lot of glitter here. Kyroh blinked as he walked by. And pink. Lots of pink too. Not even a good coloured pink though. That was unfortunate. Though maybe that was the Professors favourite colour? Kyroh hesitated. If such an ugly shade of pink was the mans favourite colour was he even to be trusted? Like....maybe he was a ghoul in disguise or something.

Flamey-Ghoul!

Did Ghoulds like pink?

THE ASTRONOMY PROFESSOR COULD BE A PYGMY PUFF!!!!!!

Paper in hand the first year stopped to grab a handful of glitter, before knocking on the office door. He even started to hum.

Glitter glitter glitter glitter rocking everywhere! R-rocking everywhere! R-rocking everywhere!

Airey just sort of gave Mr. Hirase an amused smirk. He was aware that the seating area was hardly the appropriate place for a duel. Too many distractions. Although he certainly could use the glitter to his advantage. Could be two birds with one stone.... but no. Not happening.

But this did not seem to be the case.

"Fair enough," he nodded. "I would appreciate you lowering your wand then, Mr. Hirase." He was still working on wandless magic - to perfect his whole Jedi appearance, obviously, so he couldn't disarm the Gryffindor where he stood. May never be able to be, really, but it was a nice thought.

.................................................. was that REALLY necessary.

"And I would appreciate it if you would cover your mouth, preferably with your cubital fossa, so as not to contaminate the area." Thank you. And he would look into placing a suggestion box. Haha. Not. "As your professor I was concerned that you would have fallen, perhaps to your doom, trying to maneuver the moving staircases. I can't imagine Professor Bentley or your parents would have been pleased if that had happened." Not that he felt he had to defend his actions, merely inform the Gryffindor.

"Sweet solstice, cover your mouth please, Mr. Hirase," Airey said as he jerked backwards to avoid flying spit from getting on his suit. Ah, there we were. The real reason he was here. "Ah yes. Your hat. It is in my office. Care to step inside?"

Or would he prefer just to grab it and run?

Hearing the knock at his door, Airey put down his research and approached it. He had hit another dead end and was to the point of wanting to pull out his hair - so it was sort of standing up in random places from his attempting to do so - and he sighed heavily before swinging open the door and...

"Throw that glitter at me, Mr. Scabior, and there will be a problem," he grimaced as he eyed the boy's hands.

Seriously. Don't to it.

The door just swung open without any warning and Kyroh jumped as the Astronomy Professor appeared. The man didn't even SEEM happy. Wasn't that what the glitter for? To throw at him? More happiness? Considering he DIDN'T want to have a problem Kyroh blinked and instantly let go of the handful of glitter.....

....accidentally dumping it all over the pigm-ghou-Professor's shoes.

"Oops."
