 Astronomy Long-Term Assignment: Observation #2 YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers
Night two. Fortunately for the seventh year, her sleep schedule was 110% out of whack already given the late night study sessions and quidditch preparation sessions, so it wasn't really a challenge for her to stay up considering where to hopefully investigate the Aurora Borealis tonight. She had no idea if it was going to be a clear night, but figured she would just check every night this week and hopefully luck out.
Moving quickly along the corridor and up the staircases, she stopped when she saw it. The balcony on the fourth floor. It would actually be the ideal place for a midnight ki-- oh no, STOP those thoughts right there! Skylar mentally cursed herself, closing her eyes to fight back the thoughts. Love yourself, she reminded herself, casually, before opening her eyes again and taking a step out onto the balcony.
The night breeze was lovely, and the seventh year she-snake found herself leaning against the balcony, gazing up at the skies. How long did she have to wait, who knew, but it was already 22:30. She wasn't particularly deterred about the curfew because of several reasons. One, she was past curfew in order to complete her Astronomy Assignment which was best done at night. Two, she was a seventh year. And three, she was best friends with the Head Girl.
She allowed herself to breathe in and out, slowly, letting the night elements infiltrate her senses, just gazing outward at the twinkling stars. 22:45 and nothing. 23:30.... still nothing. Resting her head on her arms, she found her eyes drifting closed from the peacefulness and pure exhaustion.
.....
2:30. She gazed at her wristwatch sleepily before jolting her head up and doing a double-take. HOW? OH NO! Had she missed the lights when she fell asleep? Whirling around in a 180, that was when she noticed the torch lights behind her on the stone walls and the reflective glow they cast ... which meant, there was too much background light.
Stretching and rotating her neck, the Slytherin Captain sighed and wearily returned to head back down the staircases to her dorm. Try again a different night. Perhaps the Astronomy Tower, which in truth made the most sense. Assuming it was a clear night, which she would cross her fingers it would be.
