That being done, he headed out of the dorms only to find Selina had left ahead of him so the 5th year headed down to the passageway and back up the ricketty spiral staircase of the astronomy tower until he reached the observatory.
"There ye are," he remarked spotting Selina already there in confirmation to what he had believed not finding her in the common room. Gideon crossing the circular room and coming up beside his girlfriend. "Not falling asleep yet I hope," he added with a smile as he watches her watch the darkening night sky unaided.
Selina was in the midst of admiring a cluster of stars directly to the left of the big dipper when she heard a pair of foot steps come up beside her. Not letting her eyes leave the stars she waited for, who she assumed was Gideon, to approach her more closely. When he was finally close enough to talk to her he joked about her falling asleep. Taking that as her cue she looked up at her boyfriend and said,
"Nope. I told you that I would stay awake so here I am."
She gestured for him to take a seat beside her and then looked back out at the stars. She tilted her head to the side which resulted in her red hair falling a bit with her motion and then she questioned,
"So, Professor... what is on the lesson plan tonight?" In all honesty, she was just kind of curious about the universe in general. She knew only what they learned in astronomy, but the universe was a big, big place and she wanted to know more.
That and looking at the stars with her boyfriend was not a horrible thing.
