Anya would have liked to think it was to stargaze. It always seemed to give her a weird reverse psychology sense of purpose. And the part few days really made her want that.
Well... more like... today and yesterday. It was crazy how things could be so drastically different in just two days.
She wandered aimlessly down the hall. She stopped at every window along the way deciding that each view was not good enough. What she was looking for, she couldn't say. She just knew something was off.
Another dark shape ahead caught her eye. She tilted her head to the side for a second to study the shape. It was Milton. "Couldn't sleep either...?" she asked softly.
Lost in his thoughts about who knows what, Milton didn't notice a particular girl in the same corridor. There were a few people wandering about anyway, so he wasn't really paying attention.
He had stopped by a window to look around. Hogwarts was definitely pretty... But when he heard that familiar voice, those thoughts vanished. Milton's head turned to the direction of the voice and saw the familiar face of Anya. It took him a moment to collect his thoughts and remember what she had just asked him. Eventually he shrugged and looked back out the window.
"Nah... I'm just a little restless, I guess." He rubbed the back of his neck and looked back at her, unsure of what to say next. Things had definitely changed between them recently.
