Speaking of the Gryffindor Prefect, he had been looking though the lens of the telescope when he heard her greeting. Looking up he smiled and returned with one of his own. "Oh hey Kurumi, weird to be out at night, huh?" he said with a little grin and wide eyes. He hadn't been out of the Common Room this late, EVER. It was sort of exciting, even though it was for school work.
"Oh you brought snacks? Sorry I didn't bring anything." Secretly he had been hoping she would bring some. He was going to probably gain a lot of weight if he continued to hang out with her as regularly as he was recently.
Opening her bag, Kurumi removed a
box of cookies and a large thermos of hot chocolate with two mugs that she had borrowed from the kitchens. "
You know me, I am never without cookies," she replied with a small wink. Really, he didn't need to worry. She was probably the only person at Hogwarts that people expected to have such things with her at all times. Even Professor Vindictus seemed to expect her to have cookies for him at each lesson - which reminded her that she ought to prepare some for when the time came.
"
Find anything yet?" she asked, pointing to the telescope while she sipped on some hot chocolate. Kurumi walked over to one of the unused telescopes and took a peek though it, adjusting the lens first with her hands before removing her wand from her pocket and tapped her telescope. "
Lens Focalis." There, much better.
Kurumi reached into her bag for her star chart now and cross examined what she was seeing with it. "
Hey, I think that that is Saturn right there just barely in view to the southwest," she chirped as she took her quill to a spare piece of parchment and began to make a simple drawing of the night sky. After doing so, Kurumi looked back into her telescope and dropped EVERYTHING in her hands, including her mug which bounce across the floor making a noise like a ringing bell. "
AUGUST! Do you see that? There in the south moving west!" August had his compass with him, right?
