Astronomy Office Hours!

[chaotic-miles.livejournal.com]

Monday afternoon after the tumultuous events of the Halloween party seemed like an ideal time to hold office hours.

Miles had cleaned up his office with the assistance of Martin, his newly acquired house elf, so that it was in a state to receive company. A sign on the office door proclaimed office hours to be in session, and Miles sat behind his desk, a game of Battleship laid out in front of him. Martin had also provided non-magically enhanced cookies for Miles' guests. Miles had ensured their non-magical qualities by eating several himself, and he was prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice and share any cookies with his guests.

Now, leg twitching, Miles stared at the door, hoping someone would come in and express some desire to learn something about astronomy. Or failing that, about cookies. Or Battleship. Really, he wasn't picky. He just wanted a chance to meet some of his potential students.

There was a knock at the door before Ron stuck his red head in. "Hullo? I'm not an Astronomy student, but I was passing and saw that you were having hours. I thought since we both are staff we should probably meet each other."

He frowned at Miles. "I think I've seen you around, though. I'm Ron, though Mister Weasley, professionally."

Sunflora has been watching that leg for a minute or two now. In her experience, a twitching leg foretold an attack, so she was on the lookout.

Having returned from a rather embarrassing venture in Glasgow, Soichiro got as far away from Ravenclaw as possible, at least until tomorrow. He intended to go to Gryffindor, but ended up going the wrong way thanks to a moving staircase.

Seeing an open door and office hours posted, he poked his head in. "Hello?"

Astronomy was one of the few things Turlough actually cared about. Chalk it up to traveling through time and space, and long hours futilely searching Earth's skies for Trion.

So when he heard that there was a new astronomy professor, and he had open hours, he decided to pop on down and see what he had.

Enter the new teaching assistant. Mikami had been reading up on astronomy, in the study time that wasn't devoted to searching through ever-more-obscure texts on Memory Charms (there were spells that would let a person recover lost memories, but so far he hadn't found anything that kept one from losing them in the first place), but he ought to know what the next lesson was going to cover. Assuming Professor Vorkosigan had planned enough by now to be able to tell him.

Simon rapped on the door and let himself in. "Office hours? I'm impressed. It's like an actual school."
