After finding Polaris it was time for the angle time. Which meant using the sextant which was on her bag on the floor. A couple of feet away. Which meant she had to go and get but she didn't want to tear her gaze off Polaris. It was true that she had got the hang of locating it with no problem she still didn't want to waste time. They only had forty minutes and she still needed to go to two other places. In short, she wanted to reach for the sextant without her eyes leaving the north star. She paused as she stood thinking of how even that was possible. Pffffffft. Of course it was. Luckily her wand was on her. The blond unholstered the wand then with a tip she uttered,"Accio sextant," Her other hand was ready to catch it. Though for a split second she did fear dropping it. BUT she didn't so all was cool. Awesome.
The fourth-year held the tool firmly and started. First, she pointed it to the horizon then pressed the clomp to release the index bar. Bringing Polaris to the horizon followed .After that was releasing the clomp and positioning. Which might have taken time more than any other step. Probably because it required using the mirrors and her clumsy fingers. Though she managed it at last and swung to verification. And now time to read the angle.
She brought her head closer and looked. 77.That's the higher angle she'd got. But didn't really anything else. So she shrugged and flopped down on the floor as she got out the parchment. Time to measure the latitude.
Quote:
Latitude=90-sextant angle
Latitude=90-77
Latitude=13
She shoved the parchment into the bag again and hopped up holding the fancy tool of hers. Well, at least for now she was hers.
