Except, this year, he hadn't been here as much as he wanted to. That should change, right? RIGHT. He looked over at the blonde haired girl walking along with him and grinned back at her. He was glad that she was leading the way with this because, if it was up to him, he would go to four random locations, one of them being the Great Hall. That had windows, yeah?
Alec shook his head and sat down next to the girl, trying his hardest not to hum along to Chasing Cars. Because this was classwork, not a stargazing date! There was nothing romantic about finding Polaris, even he knew that.
"Oh! You start by finding the Big Dipper?" he asked, looking from the girl to the starry sky. Okay, this was going to seem so weird to him but... he could try out her method then. Finding the Big Dipper first. Sorry Cassiopeia! ... Big... Dipper... big spoon sort of shape...
And she was pointing somewhere! Alec blinked and looked over to where she was pointing at before grinning widely. "Yeah, it looks like it!" he said, "Which means... that the Little Dipper is right... there? What do you think?" Point point.
It was a bit cold, y'know. Cold enough so that Ella scooted closer to Alec and rested her head on his arm as she scanned the sky for Polaris. It wasn't too cold for ice cream, though. She was still craving that. Why is it they couldn't have ice cream in class again? Frown.
"Usually, yeah." That's just how Ella had practiced finding Polaris and she had yet to change her method.
"You usually do something different?" Cause she wouldn't mind trying it his way, y'know. Alec ways were almost surely better than Ella ways.
So that was Polaris, then? BEAM! And now Alec was pointing too. The sixteen year old tilted her head and nodded enthusiastically.
"Yup! That's it!" Which meant it was sextant time, yeah?
The blonde got a hold of hers and moved it so that she could get an accurate measurement. Or well...as accurate as she could considering she'd never used the thing before today's lesson.
Brow furrowed, she tilted her head and announced,
"I got seventy this time." For the sextant angle, that is.
"So I guess that means the latitude for my reading would be twenty." Cause 90-70 was 20 and yeah...seemed legit. The blonde quickly scribbled that down in her notes before turning her attention back to Alec.
"What did you get?"
