Charming stars and friendship bud PV

Lucretcia had been sticking to herself for the most part so far since the school year started. Partly because she wanted to focus on her grades and her spells, as well as her art. She had always loved to paint and draw landscapes and the world around her but over the years she had slowly began to know the lands around her home like the back of her hand. Hogwarts however had the lake, the castle, the grounds the forest...there was so much to draw and so much beauty hidden unseen by so many people and unappreciated by so many more.

Tonight she needed a break from study and also decided it was finally time to capture something familiar but also different at the same time. The Stars. She knew the way the stars looked from her home, but here the view was different and she was oddly excited to watch the stars and capture the quiet dark beauty of the stars, knowing that many of these stars had died long ago and her drawing could capture something that soon will be forgotten to everyone, in an unnoticed tragedy that would pass the world by.

She climbed the stairs, her black hair framing her face with its usual cold and detached expression the only difference an almost impossible to notice smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Thanks to her dhampir physiology the exertion went barely noticed, despite her lithe and frankly unathletic physique. When she finally got to the top of the stairs, with her sketchbook held like it was a precious relic she looked around trying to find the best place to position herself when she was someone else was already here. She felt her expression harden some as her practiced cold shell reasserted itself.

"Oh...someone else is already here." she brushed some of her hair behind her ear and she looked towards the telescopes before glancing back towards the stairs, already planning her escape. "I don't want to intrude. Ill just leave...I'm sorry."
