Last place she saw this ghost was the Tower Patch. She and Mikey never made it up here to check that other time....because of how weird things got but now she had all the time in the world, an Alice and a kneazle for company.
The Gryffindor trudged to the fountain and plopped down on the edge, Felix opted for the ground where he was less likely to get himself splashed with water.
"Did you bring that list of galaxies and stuff we're meant to be looking for?" She asked, turning to Alice. With Alice coming to work with her she thought she could leave all the responsible stuff to her, as a result, she brought nothing--Alice had extra parchment to share too right? Otherwise Lex would be copying her notes when they got back to the Common Room.
And where was that ghost? She didn't have all night to wait.
"I haven't been up here in a while, have you?" She could recall the last time Lex had visited the Tower Patch with her, but not really for reasons pertaining to today's Astronomy partner. More for boy reasons. Mo had put a flower in her shoe, too. Alice actually still had that flower. Pressed onto a page and all dried up now, but that counted for something, yeah?
"I don't need a list." Tapping her head, the seventh year went about setting up the telescope she'd borrowed from the Astrophysics Lab for the assignment. No more spells on her eyes, thank you.
"Want to start by looking for the planets? Or the Andromeda Galaxy? We might not even need a telescope for that one, 'cause it's the most distant object you can see with your naked eye. But if we DO use it, we can see the shape of it, it's like an ellipse...."
Never mind. Alexa probably didn't care.
