Sophie started spotting a bunch of stars she thought were really bright. That didn't help... She stared at the star chart for a little while and then looked up to resume looking for Cygnus constellation. Hopefully they would find it soon!
At the Gryffindor's reply, she raised both of her eyebrows and nodded a couple of times. "That sounds interesting!" Sophie had never thought stars could be magical. She wasn't sure if Tayla's thought was crazy or not. "Maybe they-- well, I dunno." She shook her head and continued to look for Cygnus.
"Brightest star... brightest star... where are you?" Sophie mumbled, scanning the sky.
Tayla looked towards the direction Sophie was pointing.
"There are just so many of them!" Tayla said. She shook her head, feeling a bit dizzy from alternating between looking up at the sky with her naked eyes and through her telescope.
"I think I need a quick break," she said, taking out her book again and re-reading the page about Cygnus. She furrowed her eyebrows as she read aloud a line from the book.
"One of the most recognizable constellations of the northern summer and autumn, it features a prominent asterism known as the Northern Cross."
If it was that recognizable, then how come she and Sophie hadn't spotted it yet? Maybe they were looking too hard. Or maybe looking for just one star in the constellation made it harder. Tayla wasn't sure what to do, but she did think there must be something that could help them find the constellation.
Flipping to the next page, she found an illustration that seemed to read her thoughts.
"Sophie...look at this picture," Tayla said, showing Sophie the page.
"The Summer Triangle. I'm not sure if it'll be the same this month but...that triangle might help. Three bright stars...one of them Deneb."
Tayla smiled encouragingly at Sophie and looked up at the sky again. She felt a little like a sleuth trying to put clues together.
