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?
Yum! August took two of the cookies and his mug of hot chocolate over to this telescope. "Thanks!" he was glad she had brought something still, his dinner had long since warn off.

Standing by his telescope, eye pressed to the lens he listened as his friend saw Saturn. He saw nothing. Auggie was just about to ask her to help him position the tool but then heard her whisper a spell.

Yeah...he should try that.

"Lens Focalis." he said tapping his wand against the tube of be telescope and was glad that it had worked and he know saw an illuminated sky. He quickly grabbed his quill and sketched out the night sky to the best of his drawing abilities and just as he finished he heard Kurumi shreak and drop her mug.

For the split second that she had shouted his name and heard the cup drop he had thought, horrified that she had fallen off somehow. His heart pounding he was relieved but then eager to see what she saw. The Gryffindor jammed his eye into the lens and saw something bright moving quickly across the souther sky.

"Kurumi, is that a shooting star or a meteior?" he shouted excitedly.
