Eyebrow raised. But in a good way, because he was curious. Clearly, curious enough to close the Astronomy textbook. She was a Slytherin, he could see that from her robes. And...did Slytherins tend to come to the Observatory when they were bored? She was too far away from her Common Room, in all fairness. "I take it you like Astronomy, then? Or, well, there's a whole lot of stairs to take in order to get here, though, you'd rather be kept busy with them?" It was either one of those options. Either she enjoyed Astronomy too much...or she really had nothing to do and this was as high up as she could get.

His head was now tilted to one side, "Actually, yeah, I'm Treyen...but I...don't believe we've met before." He didn't know her name. Hint.
"Actually..." she started, finally tearing her gaze from the charts completely. "I never liked it much." Okay, now she looked like a total freak... "I usually avoid it up here when I can. But I... 'helped' Professor Roslund at Kings Cross and figured I might actually give it a chance." Because... she wasn't sure why. Mainly because there was nothing else to do - she'd already played her violin for an hour today and she had no music in her head to write down and the potions laboratory was closed and it was too windy to go for a walk in the grounds and she wasn't hungry. "Well, at first I was going to go to the library... but I hate it. So I just... carried on climbing the stairs." She had intended to go to the library... but she had chickened out. Again. Far too many words.

Score! It wasn't often she got people's names right... "I'm Aurora." she said, smiling at him, trying to look like less of a weirdo for climbing all the way to the top of the astronomy tower for no valid reason.
