The Milky Way Galaxy contains anywhere between 200 and 400 billion stars. A tiny fraction of those can be viewed right here, in the Hogwarts Observatory. This circular room was locked for a long time, but Professor Antares opened it again when he became a staff member at Hogwarts and now after his leave Professor Roslund maintains it - complete with a huge telescope that was a new addition then. As it is difficult to operate, students need permission from the professor before they are allowed to use it, but a number of smaller telescopes that anyone and everyone is free to use are stowed away in cupboards lining the rounded walls along with empty potion vials and other astronomy items and supplies.
Large star charts are pinned up on the walls as well. Not all of these belong to the school. Those that do not have a great number of notes and calculations added to them - although Professor Roslund is a teacher now, he is still able to supply colleagues and his mentor with data and measurements. You are, of course, free to study his charts, but make very sure not to remove or misplace anything.
Stargazing, naturally, is an activity best pursued at night, and as such, the Observatory usually remains unlocked. Of course, there are superseding school rules that limit the hour at which students can still be out of bed. If you desire to study the wonders of the cosmos later than that, you need a note from Professor Roslund. Should a student be found without such a note (or, alternatively a creative excuse), he or she can expect... trouble.
In the same way that a library is more than just a building where books are stored, the Observatory is as much a place of scientific inquiry as it is a shrine to the grandeur and beauty of the Universe. Professor Roslund, when he doesn't use the telescope for work, often comes here to think, or for some peace and quiet. Please respect him and any other teacher or student spending his or her time here in this way by not running around or shouting.

But like I said if you ever need me then just let me know and I will be there." he said smiling. He was serious, if Minnie needed him then he should go. But for now she said that she will be fine. Now she would definitely HAVE to stay overnight at his place, before he didnt force her since she was not alone, but now she was. So she had no choice in the matter.

"I will try to visit. I just don't know when so I will owl you when I can. I might have to muggle mail you if I can't get to an owl. Being around all the muggles will be hard after being here for so long."

Harvey knew that she would be rushed into all of these competitions and visiting him "Mins, you only visit me if you have time, if you dont have time to visit then it is fine with me. Just take your time and visit your family first. You can mail me whichever way you like I am used to both now. Yes it will be hard, not doing all the magical stuff. Having to hide everything. Yeah it will be hard, but we will get through it" he said smiling. He really WAS happy for Minnie, finally she will carry on the thing she loved, dancing..

"Well it's going to be different that's for sure. I am so behind on my practicing. I lost my bag that has all my dance things in it. I have no clue where I left it. I feel so strange without it."

Harvey was only half-listening to what she was saying, all this talk of regrets brought up the biggest regret of his short life, which was that he let Minnie go without a fight. She said that she wanted to break-up and he said ok without thinking about the consequences of his answer. But he couldnt say that now because he was spoken for, he now half-wished he was still single. "Oh! I know you will be perfect. You are a natural, no need for all that practice. I am sure the bag is around here somewhere, dont worry!" he said smiling and putting a hand on her shoulder "You will great! I know it!" he said smiling.

Minerva blushed. "Oh thanks Harvs. I hope I do well." Minerva was getting nervous thinking about how close the competitions were coming.

Harvey smiled "No need for hope, you WILL do great. A natural born dancer! that is what you are. You watch, you will wow the judges." he said grinning. He knew she was going to do well, he had danced with her and knew what she was capable of, no need for hope. She was a natural.

Harvey smiled "Yes we will, do keep me updated on the progress of your competitions. I would love to know where you are, what you are doing and how well you are doing." he said. Well he was going to miss this friend of his while she was attending her competitions, but it was something she wanted to do. So what if he had to live without her for some time, as long as she was happy dancing away and winning too.

Harvey beamed as hard as he could "Good! Oh I am glad I am stuck with you!" he said nudging her gently. He looked at her and just gazed at her for a few moments before speaking "I am so glad I met you and mustered the courage to talk to you, I still remember you trying to choose something off that food trolley when I came upto you. I was so nervous talking to you, but it became so much easier once you started to talk to me." he said to her still beaming. He really WAS glad that he had met her, otherwise today he would have been without her and THAT was a scary thought. To live life without Minnie.

Minnie blushed. "Oh Harvs stop. If you didn't meet me you would still be here with all these friends. You would be fine." She gave him a smile happy that things worked the way they did.

Harvey smiled as he saw her blush and he listened to what she said. Though he knew that was true there was something that he realised "Yeah I know but I wouldnt have gotten to know you, my best friend. But I am glad I do know you, I wouldnt change it for the world." he said as he slowly leaned in towards her and gave her a kiss on her cheek. He then went back as he smiled, he hadnt done that since their break-up and many times he had wanted to do it but he thought she would take it the wrong way, and then he was not allowed since she wasnt single, but now he was since she was single again.

Minerva smiled and then blushed when Harvey kissed her on the cheek. She automatically put her hand up to where he had just kissed her. "So what's Ronnie up to?" Minerva said not knowing what else to say. Why did she just say Ronnie's name, she wasn't sure where she was going with the conversation, but she didn't want to babble on either.

Harvey chuckled as she blushed when he kissed her. He loved it when she blushed. He then saw her touch the place where he had kissed her, for some reason he felt a strange feeling inside when he saw her do that. She then mentioned Ronnie "Oh Ronnie? Oh yeah, she is spending the last few days with me. Then she will be helping in her brother's wedding." he answered her question and then he just ended up staring at her and then he realised what he was doing and stopped. If only he didnt have Ronnie. What did he just think? Why did he just think that? What was wrong with him? Harvey continued smiling as his heart started beating faster as he looked at Minnie.

Minnie started feeling this awkwardness in the air. Then she realized Harvey was starring at her. "Harvey, Ronnie is a great girl who loves you very very much. She is a wonderful friend to me and I would never hurt her in anyway. I am so glad she found you and that you found her. I think you two are wonderful together." She looked away at the sky. She hoped he would understand the message through her words. She would never come in between those two. She couldn't hurt Ronnie that way. Plus they were so perfect for each other.

Harvey nodded as he swallowed, she knew him too well. "I know Mins, I know.... I know exactly what you are trying to say. I dont want to hurt her either, we are still youn and already she is thinking of our marriage. It was scary when she first said it, but I am used to it now, but I dont want to keep her hopes up that we will stay together. So I have told her that we will take it one day a time. Trust me Minnie, I dont want to hurt her anymore than you do." he said as breathed rapidly and his heart beat against his chest, he could literally feel his heart beating rapidly. He need to control himself, or risk hurting both Ronnie and Minnie, which he DIDNT want to do.

Minerva made the decision that they needed to end the evening. "Harvs I think I'm going to head back to the common room and begin packing. I will talk to you at the end of year feast." Minerva hugged him and then headed out of the observatory.

Harvey just watched as she said that she is heading back to her common room to begin her packing and that she would meet him at the end of year feast. She then gave him a hug and left the observatory. He watched her leave, he knew why she had left. Because she knew what he was starting to feel. He now had to push those feelings to the side and just be a normal friend, nothing more. He mentally beat himself for having made Minnie feel that she needed to leave. He vowed to act as if all this never happened when he met her at the end of year feast. He would just act like her best friend. He stood up and went to the railings and looked up at the sky, why was this happening to him? why? why couldnt life be simple for once?
