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.

"After my time, I think. And I don't think, knowing what I know now, that I would want to know." He set his last peg down. "And you sunk my battleship."

Miles grinned. "Well, it was a good game," he said diplomatically, noting that Soichiro hadn't actually managed to sink any of his ships. "But you should definitely practice. Battleship isn't a complex strategy game, but it is a strategy game, and those are useful."

"And perhaps, once I get practice in, we could have a rematch?"

"Absolutely!" Miles declared warmly. "Hit me up for one anytime."
