Smirkety smirk.
Also, the charm had defo lost it's power as he, once again, went to look up. So...taking a moment, Dylan whipped out his wand to remedy the situation. With a slight wave and gentle tap to his eyelids (and the muttered incantation), he was immediately back in business...And then he was blinking a few times. His eyes felt dry and itchy...Meh.
Gazing up for the umpteenth time, the Slytherin sought out Draco...Dragon, dragon....It was his favorite constellation...Hmm...and then, of course, Ursa Minor was right there with Draco...So, it wasn't hard at all to spot the Little Dipper with Draco arched over it in a way...
Right. Polaris. There you are!
Mirrors were cool. Just to be different this time West looked through the sextant and moved it around looking for Polaris rather than spotting Polaris first and then looking through it after. It was harder that way. His normal way was faster but West was bored so why not?
West looked for the Big Dipper, found it, and then measured up from the pointer stars. There we go. 'sup Polaris. He double checked by lining up with the ickle one and yeah. He knew it was Polaris just fooling around now because he was bored.
And now to get the angles and whatnot.
