Like Shooting Stars

Seph's favorite class of all time had let out about 30 minutes ago and of course the professor had ushered them all back to their common rooms. And Seph just so happened to know that the professor hung around the astronomy tower for a bit longer to make sure that there were no wayward students coming back around to the tower and doing things that they shouldn't do after curfew. Seph didn't see what she was doing in that light, honestly truly because she just wanted to get her homework done. Sure, they had other ways of getting their work done; the textbook, for example, had great diagrams of the stars and the planets. It wouldn't just be diagrams and estimations forever though, not for her when she planned to be an astronomer once she left school. That was why she liked doing her homework with the real thing above her, there for her viewing pleasure. And to check to make sure that all of her answers were right. So while her classmates went back to their common rooms, she took the long way around, circled back and waited for the stairs to catch her and lift her back up towards the Astronomy Tower in just enough time for the professor to be gone. With her bag of books, loads of parchment, and diagrams that she'd just drawn in class, she walked back up the steps to her destination with the thought in mind that she would be able to get this homework out of the way easily. She reached the door that opened into the expanse of the tower and she saw that.... someone was already in here? How? She thought she'd made pretty good time with getting back. "How'd you get here before me?" she asked curiously, confusion dotting her tone.

HOPE FOR SOME CHANGE

[attr="class","next"] Yvette was done with her classes for the day and found herself craving the astronomy tower; she never knew how much she loved looking at stars until she came to Hogwarts. Thus, she slipped up the steps and hide in a small corner as the class that had been in there left, watching as one by one they took the trek down the steps. She was close enough that she could slip into the classroom once the professor left, but far enough that the professor would not notice her when leaving the classroom behind.

Thirty minutes was all it took for everyone, including the professor, left the room and she slipped up the steps, glancing behind her as she did before booking it up the steps two at a time. Slipping through the door, she smiled as she ran over to the window, just then, she heard the door open, and she froze, fearful that it was the professor. She stood there, like a statue, before allowing herself to relax once a young female voice spoke from behind her.

Twirling around, two long brunette braids slapping around as she did so, she smiled shyly. Clearing her throat, she spoke, “I—I was waiting down on the steps and snuck in as soon as the professor walked past me…” Her words sounded shy and fearful, slowly drawing closer to the young blonde with one hand behind her back and the other playing with her robes, “You aren’t a Prefect are you? Am I going to get in trouble?”

A young girl with brown pigtails turned around at the sound of her voice and smiled, a contrast to the slight sadness on hers. She mentioned that she'd just waited around nearby for the professor to leave before she made her way into the tower and Seph frowned. Why hadn't she thought of that? That would have been a little bit harder for her considering the professor watched all of them leave. "Oh." was all she let out before she readjusted her bag on her shoulder. The brown-haired girl then asked her if she was a prefect; she sounded a bit scared when she said it which made Seph feel a little bit bad and had her quickly shaking her head. "Oh no, no! I'm not supposed to be here either technically," she explained quickly, taking a step forward, "I just wanted to come here for finish some homework. Can we share it? I just really like being up here when I do my astronomy homework." It seemed like an odd question to ask since the astronomy tower itself was relatively big. She just knew some people liked to be alone; and obviously there had been a reason she had come up there. What if she'd wanted to be alone for that? The initial disappointment had worn off and she realized that the young girl was one of the American students. Her accent was funny and Seph gave her a smile. "I like your accent by the way!" That was also something other's would find weird for her to say, especially considering that she'd heard other Americans speak since the beginning of the semester. She didn't really care though. If she liked their accents, she still told them.

HOPE FOR SOME CHANGE

[attr="class","next"] The fear that filled the young fourth year as she waited for the blonde to reveal her true nature and giver her detention caused her heart to pound beneath her breast. She bites her bottom lip as she watched the girl breathe out and fix her bag on her shoulder. And then, Yvette let out her sigh of relief as the girl stated that she was also not supposed to be in the tower at that moment.

'I just wanted to come here to finish some homework. Can we share it? i just really like being up here when I do my astronomy homework.' The brunette nodded her head, "Yes, yes of course. I like to come up here and look over the grounds and the sky. I'll stay out of your way so you can do your homework in peace." Those words came out with a smile upon her face, brushing a strand of loose brunette locks from her face.

A soft giggle left her lips, a blush tinting her cheeks; "Thanks! I like yours as well!" she exclaimed, a smile playing on her lips.
