Stars In Your Eyes
Azzure sighed as she trecked up the seemingly never-ending staircase of the Hogwarts castle.
In all honesty she didn’t know what she was doing, dinner was in 30 minutes and shortly after that she had numerous assignments left to do. With winter break just around the corner, her daily schedule was a blur of classes and homework.
But today––for some reason––her feet decided to lead her to the Astronomy tower. Admittedly, Azz wasn’t the most interested in astronomy, most of the things about planets and moons were already taught to her as a child. But that’s not to say that she hated the subject all together, the more time Azz spends in this cramped castle, the more she grows to appreciate the beauty of having a classroom so isolated from everything else below it.
Perhaps that’s also why she was now standing in the middle of the classroom, looking up at the open ceiling of the astronomy classroom. Watching as high above the sky began to shift from bright orange to indigo skies.
‘Peace’ Azzure thought. She hadn’t had much of that since coming into this magic academia––but as she watched the stars begin to peak through the clouds, Azzure felt an inexplicable sense of peace wash over her.
Entranced by the beauty of a nebulous she can never fully understand, Azzure found herself laying down on the cold floor of the Astronomy classroom, her body untensing as she mentally pointed out various constellations she had read about in her dads old library.
Azzure sighed to herself, she reached out a hand the sky, closing her first around the stars as if trying to magic herself in their position.
“Will it be so bad if I skip dinner to stargaze?” Azzure sighed out. Perhaps she’s been overworking herself more than she’d like to admit. What no one tells you about magic academia is that––other than the occasional fires in potions––it's just another regular academia with homework that’s as taxing to do as any other muggle school work.
Azzure was just about to roll onto her side for a nap––when the sharp click of the astronomy classroom doors startled her. She whirled around, eyes narrowing at the boy who walked through the doors––a sharp, guarded look in her eyes as she addressed the boy with as much fondness as a hissy cat.

Damien was completely tired from all the work he had done during today, he thought that relaxing in the astronomy tower would be worth it. As he walked towards the tower he sighed as he always did dread walking up the tower stairs but he knew it was inevitable so he continued on his journey towards the astronomy tower. When he finally reached the top he let out a breath of relief as he was finally able to relax and read a book like he wanted but as he opened the door he frowned as there was someone else already there it looked to be a girl who seemed to be napping?…it didn’t make any sense to him at all. He slowly and quietly closed the door as not to disturb them before he tried to figure out a good out of sight area he could sit in but before he could even figured that out he was startled by the girl who was now staring at him as if she was hissing at him like his cat Apollo. “Ah! Apologize I didn’t mean to um..disturb you I just came to relax and read my book” He tried to explain while looking at them. |

The sharp, sudden click of the latch had sent Azzure’s heart into her throat, her body reacting with a feline-like tension before her mind could even process the intruder. She remained poised to bolt or bite, eyes narrowed to silver slits as she watched the boy stumble over his words.
A Ravenclaw. Of course. Only a Ravenclaw would climb eight flights of stairs to find a "place to read" when the entire castle was essentially a library.
Her shoulders dropped an inch, the hissing intensity in her gaze fading into a look of dry exhaustion. She didn't get up from the floor immediately; instead, she propped herself up on her elbows, looking him up and down with a skeptical brow.
"Relax and read?" She repeated, her voice echoing slightly in the hollow stone chamber. She glanced at the book tucked under his arm and then back at the darkening sky. "In this light? You’ll be squinting by the time you reach the second chapter. Unless Ravenclaws have developed some sort of night-vision charm they aren't sharing with the rest of us."
She let out a short, huffed breath—not quite a laugh, but less hostile than before. The frustration of being interrupted was still there, but there was a begrudging respect for the hustle. They were all drowning in assignments, after all.
"You don't have to apologize. Just... stay on that side of the tower," she said, gesturing vaguely toward the opposite stone wall. "I was promised peace, and I intend to keep at least half of it... but if you do have some weird homemade night-vision charm, could I have some?" Azzure asked, but it was obvious it wasn't a question she wanted answered.
With a heavy, bone-deep sigh,Azzure let her weight fall back, rolling onto her spine until she was flat against the cold stone once more. She stared back up at the open ceiling, her dark grey eyes reflecting the stars that shined high above them.

Damien just shook his head before looking up at her, ”yes it was too crowded and loud in the library so I decided to come up here where i thought no one would have came especially if they weren’t a Ravenclaw since they probably didn’t want to climb the stairs.” He looked back down at his book as he continued to read it before answering the second half of her question. “No ravenclaws don’t have some sort of night vision charm I’m using the moon light reflecting off the windows near me as my light..I’m just used to it since I’ve always done that when I was younger.” Damien since as long as he could read always enjoyed reading at night, maybe it was due to it being quiet or maybe he enjoyed the moon shining down on him making him feel very cool and warm, though truly he think it was due to him finding it more peaceful since he didn’t have to deal with his father trying to teach him more useless lessons. He wanted to let out a snarky comment when she mentioned she wanted to keep her peace, so did he and clearly with her here he probably wouldn’t get much of that but he decided to accept her being here as noting would change that. “I would like my peace and quiet as well so you won’t have to worry about that with me.” He went back to reading his book as he honestly didn’t mind if someone else was here he just probably didn’t wanna have a conversation at the moment. |

Azzure knew what that felt like. To want a quiet place to recharge without the worry of social interaction…
However she was fortunate enough to be blessed with a place of isolation she could run to whenever she wanted. Her whole life was basically spent in isolation and Hogwarts, for as chaotic as it was, at least here she had the knowledge that she could go to her solo dorm room anytime she felt herself start to become overwhelmed. But her ego wasn’t egregiously up her ass as to not feel sympathy towards the dude.
Hogwarts is a big place and finding quiet corners at any time of the day was a challenge. Perhaps that's why she let him stay, why she didn’t mind when he took his spot in the opposite side of the room where the moonlight hit a sprawl of throw pillows and a comfy couch.
In the dark star-lit sky a familiar constellation came into view, that of Libra and her scales of justice. In the back of her mind Azzure remembered reading in a book somewhere that the constellation represented peace and harmony, and the order of justice in life, and for a moment Azz deluded herself that maybe this meeting was star crossed.
A deep sense of exhaustion suddenly washed over Azzure–– her eyelids grew heavy as a soundless yawn left her lips. She glanced back at the boy, now fully immersed in whatever book he was reading. The blue of his eyes reflected the sky behind him, and Azzure could swear she could see stars in them.
‘Every person has a star inside of them, it comes out when one is passionate. Twas was, and always will be.’
The memory came to her like a wisp, a final howl of the wind before it passes. She forgot who told her that, didn’t know why it would resurface now of all times, but weirdly it felt like a soft lullaby, one Azzure just had to accept as she turned back to the sky above before finally closing her eyes, letting the quiet mysteries of the world drape over her in hopes that they’ll follow her to her dreams.
A cold breeze chilled Azzure awake. She shot up with a gasp–– her eyes darting around the room only to realize that nothing around her had changed. The only thing in the room was the ravenclaw boy, still reading his book, the moonlight still illuminating the particular corner he was sitting at.
“Hey! How long have I been out?”
Azzure called out to the boy that was now mysteriously missing the jacket he came inside the room with. She narrowed her eyes at him, trying to figure out if she ever got his name or not… at least until she realized that the poor unknowing soul probably thought that she was ripping hin apart in her imagination and not trying to figure out if this was just another case of her being Azzure “socially inept” Solace or if she was so stupid as to fall asleep in a room next to a stranger she didn't even know the name of.
Azzure sighed, deciding that all this stress wasn’t worth it. She probably already traumatized more ravenclaws this year than she ever wanted.
Exams were making her paranoid and eyebags didn’t look good on a person whose genetics make them look naturally deathly pale. But only when she went to lay back down did she feel a heavy weight on her lap. The albino looked down only to see a jacket. A jacket that wasn’t hers–– his jacket
Okay, Nevermind. She definitely was stupid.
So goddamn stupid
“Hey! Dude… or whatever your name is, why is your jacket on me? One, Is that a normal occurrence for you to do? Lend your jacket to a stranger?” Azzure asked pointedly as she stared at the man infront of her whlist still holding the jacket to her chest, using it like a shield, her short white hair messy from having just woken up
“And two, where did you get this because this is quite comfortable.” She quietly added, her words coming out a little softer this time as she held the jacket out infront of her, inspecting it like professional taylor.
