Noelle actually missed stargazing. She wasn't any sort of Airey Flamsteed, but stars were pretty. They were to be admired.

Taking a break from training and studying, Noelle had made her way up to the astronomy tower. No one seemed to be in here at the moment. This was her chance. She'd gone late enough, towards dinner time, but not too late that getting back to her prefect duties or just in the common room in general before curfew, wouldnt be an issue.

Noelle smiled, remembering good times she had in the tower. She went to the scope and peered through it. Oh.... yeah. She missed the stars. Her head had been too grounded lately. Studying, training, focusing on her goals. She hadn't even done too much goofing off with Olly. She was grateful to the little break she was having now.

Trying to find one of the constellations that she was taught, Noelle moved the scope around. She didn't handle this regularly so she was pretty clumsy and awkward with it.
It had been a while since she had been here (it had been last year, after all), nine flights of stairs plus the walk to the tower being simply far too much for someone who wasn't even that interested in Astronomy. If Daisy was being honest with herself, she would consider the possibility that she had unconsciously sabotaged her Astronomy OWL just to spare her the walk to the tower. Living in the dungeons had his perks but the cons vastly outweighed them.

Still. She loved that jumper and she couldn't find it anywhere so a trek to the tower eventually became unavoidable.

Dinner time was here, or approaching she wasn't sure, so she had expected the tower to be empty. It was somehow not surprising at all that Noelle would be the one to be here. The girl had a way of being in the most unexpected of places, at the most unexpected of times. "Shouldn't you be in the great hall, making sure your kids don't start a food fight?" Or her brother, you know.
