Oooooh, so the second mug was for him! "Thank you!" Lewis replied, maybe a little too enthusiastically as he took the offered mug of tea from her. Holding it up close to his nose he breathed in deeply to see if it actually SMELLED of cherry blossoms too. Not that he knew what cherry blossoms smelt like.
Had he spotted- "Huh?" Lewis looked back up at her with a slightly confused look on his face. Spotted anything interesting? Then he noticed how she was looking at his telescope and mentally facepalmed himself. Oh. Right. Of course. Stargazing. The actual reason they were here. "No, I, err, I only got here a couple of minutes before you." Lewis nodded slowly, hoping she wouldn't think he was stupid or something. He had just...momentarily forgotten what they were here for.
Tilting his head back a little to stare up at the night-sky again, he bit his lip a little trying to find Neptune. "That's the blue-ish one, isn't it?" He uttered under his breath, rather talking aloud to himself than asking Kurumi. Okay, maybe he should try looking through the telescope. That's what he had brought it along for after all.
The fifth year simply shook her head at Lewis. He really should show some more confidence and...not be so hard on himself? That, or perhaps he just had the wrong impression of her? She may be a prefect and have a schedule that with all the color coding looked like a child's artwork, but friends always came first - even when compared to baking. "
And break my promise to come out here and do Astronomy homework with you? You're funny, Lewis," she laughed. Because, he was joking, right?
Making herself a little more comfortable and pulling out her star charts and Astronomy notes, Kurumi dusted off the lens of her telescope and shifted its position a bit more and looked back up at the sky, blowing on her hot beverage for a moment before finally testing it. A faint smile tugged at the edges of her lips and her eyes glimmered in the darkness as her thoughts wandered for a moment to her mother. She sipped on her tea and then cocked her head to the side when she heard him speak. The blue-ish one?
"
Afraid you won't be able to see Neptune with the naked eye," she laughed. Unless he had super eyesight that is. "
I think what you are seeing is Polaris, the North Star. It tends to look a little blueish." Kurumi tapped her telescope and cast the focusing spell before taking a peek through it. Hmmm...maybe it was still a little too early to be able to see the planet...or her calculations were way off. Most likely it was her calculations since she had hurried through them in the Gryffindor common room.
"
If...we find Pollux we should be able to find Neptune just south of it."
