"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."

Glancing up from his hands for a moment to see her reaction, Lewis furrowed his brow slightly at her shaking her head. Had he said the wrong thing? Again? And why did people always thinking he was trying to be funny when he really wasn't? "I wasn't-" But somehow he couldn't see anything good coming out of him pointing that out. "Well, I mean, I'm just glad you could make it." He ended up saying, giving her a warm smile.

He took a sip of his tea, unable to wait any longer. He just wanted to know what cherry blossom tea tasted like. And a special Kurumi-family-made cherry blossom tea too. ... Maybe he should have blown on it first a little. It was HOT! Smacking his lips together in an attempt to get them to stop hurting, he glanced at Kurumi for a moment. Hopefully she hadn't noticed that he was apparently too stupid to drink tea. What was wrong with his brain today?!

Lewis had even started to poke out his tongue to let it cool off in the cold winter air, because it was hurting like hell too. And he STILL didn't know how the tea tasted. "Huh?!" Too focussed on his own tongue, he had clearly missed why Kurumi was laughing. What was so funny? The stars? Oh, him trying to see the stars? Was that it? Yes, he must be looking like a genius today. NOT.

Quickly putting his tongue back into his mouth, Lewis tried to ignore the blush he felt forming on his cheeks and nodded vigurously. "Yes, I know but-" But he really didn't want to contradict anything Kurumi said so he just muttered, "Nevermind" and pulled his telescope towards him. Tilting it upwards he pointed his wand at it, muttering the focusing spell under his breath until he could see the North Star properly. Right.

Now where was this Pollux? After a couple of minutes of silence and swerving the telescope around, Lewis finally focused it on a specific star again. "Hey, that's it, isn't it?" He exclaimed quite happily, pointing at the night sky. It WAS Pollux, wasn't it?
