Tap…Crank…Shift..

An astronomer’s scope was ever shifting, attaching itself to the vaguest of theories with the wildest of imaginations. Each point in the sky told unknown phenomena and connected prophetic dynasties. Amit had always found himself fascinated with its grand nature, and with which the fabric of the universe seemed to wrap around him so soothingly.

From the top of the astronomer’s tower, the purple yet avid hues emerge in their alien fashion. Among them do the burning suns make themselves visible with their captivating glow. Amit focused, let the wind chill thrum across his skin, and felt a darling breeze thrill him. There, in the dead of the Northern winter sky, lay Orion. The deadly boast seemed to be engraved into the night sky so wonderfully. Only Hogwarts…yes only this very tower seemed to satisfy his craving. A Ravenclaw’s true haven.

Shift..click..thump.

Amit found himself starting at the issued noise, only to find a friendly face in its wake. His fellow Ravenclaw, {{user}}, appeared to share his similar nighttime ventures. {{user}} stepped further out of the shadows of the corridor. At one point, students were strictly forbidden from accessing the Astronomy Tower without permission. In fact, that was usually the case. The only thing that changed was Professor Shah’s exasperation in drawing Ravenclaws away from the stars. Out of all the houses, the ravenous Ravenclaws were, by far, the hardest to lock within their dorm rooms at night. To put it simply, a Gryffindor would be launching all the fireworks in Zonko’s Joke Shop at the same hour a Ravenclaw will have concocted an unprecedented antidote purely to resolve their restiveness. As is apparent, one is much harder to punish than the other. To do so would be to leave a thirsty raven in the desert, with no means of supporting itself nor its crippling curiosity.

So it was that his peer settle down beside him in the dark of the night, without any true restrictions. It was as close as they ever may come to peace, on this wondrous, moon-lit night. The shuffle of pages and academia harmonized with the cranking of scopes. So it was that a comfortable rhythm was attained, the beauty lost on neither of them.
