𝓢targazing wasn't something Amadea did on a regular basis. If she was being completely honest, she didn't really ever stargaze. Growing up in London, Amadea had plenty of other activities to keep herself occupied. Now that she lived in Camberley in a suburb, the less hectic pace was more suited for stargazing but Amadea still hadn't done much of it. Nevertheless, she was excited for this activity. If she was being honest with herself, she was happy to be away from London. The city was her first home, the place where she had grown up and the place that she and her family had spent many happy years together. The memories were now tarnished by her parent's divorce and her father's death now. Even though she was at the London Quidditch Stadium and not in the heart of the city itself, being close pulled on Amadea's heartstrings. She was glad to be going far away and have a relaxing overnight with her best friend.

Amadea and Cecily had planned to attend this event together once they had heard about it. Cecily had invited Amadea and naturally, Amadea had accepted jubilantly. Amadea jumped at any chance that she could get to hang out with Cecily; the Ravenclaw girl was one of her two best friends in the world and Amadea felt like she had seen less of her towards the end of the school year. It was partly because the girls weren't in the same house and partly because they were both so busy, but Amadea felt like it had been a minute since the two had been able to catch up. It didn't help that Cecily had made plans to tent with her Ravenclaw Quidditch teammates instead of with Amadea, Ami, Adam, and Scott...which was a whole other can of worms that Amadea didn't want to think about right now; the tension inside of that tent made her anxiety skyrocket. Maybe venting to Cecily about everything and having a relaxing night under the stars would prove to be useful.

When the train had arrived at the Grove Park Community Group – Ringway Centre, Amadea had taken the lead, dragging Cecily along behind her. After hearing the professor's spiel on the bus, she was so excited to check out everything that this park had to offer. Star chart in hand, Amadea glanced around at all of the available activities. There was a fortune-telling station headed by Professor Kibitzer, a star stories station led by Professor Lian, and blankets sprawled out for a perfect view of the stars. There were also plenty of refreshments available. Students were milling around, figuring out what they wanted to do so Amadea turned to Cecily, figuring they should make a plan of action. "Wow," she said. "What do you want to do first?"

Rose loved the stars. She loved them like, a lot. She had almost gotten in trouble once for asking her friend to let her see the stars from the Astronomy Tower. She kind of wished Illvermorny students were allowed here, because her cousin Drew, who was the only person other than herself who knew about her escapes on the roof of her house, had stayed up late up on her roof looking out at the stars, though one time they got particularly bored and started making fun of different made up constellations, which was the only reason she was kind of glad he wasn't here. He brought out a very loud part of her nobody really got to see, and she would be hopelessly embarrassed if he over the summer. She got a star chart and laid down on her back by herself, enjoying the starry view and appreciating how amazing it all was. She relaxed her whole body, thinking she should do this more often. She was mesmerized by the stars and =, though her chart was next to her, she didn't look at it, but rather took the amazing view in over and over again, a true sense of calm filling her up.

How Ileen looks this evening:

Reducio

While her tent group was partly scattered and her best friend was already on her way to the blanket, which was probably chosen for her group for stargazing, Ileen paused for a moment. The young Slytherin looked up to the firmament in amazement. It spanned over her like a dome - a sight that almost took her breath away. Once again, she realized how small and insignificant humans were in relation to the forces of nature.
She didn't notice the other students or the professors present at all, she was so taken by this moment. Even if she should be used to this view from astronomy, it was something else to experience in this relaxed situation and the different environment. London - the narrow, crowded city she hated - and then this vastness.
With a sigh, she pulled her scarf tighter around her shoulders and gradually let her gaze wander again to spheres closer to the ground. The trees were only black outlines against the sky and in the air was the excited hum of her classmates' voices. She loved this time of day almost as much as sunrise.

Although it was still pleasantly warm, Ileen had packed her scarf which she could also convert into a blanket - just in case. She had tied her long brown hair into a loose knot to enjoy the warm summer winds that tickled her neck.
With a thoughtful smile she turned in the direction Dee had walked away, now looking for her group again. And what a group that was. An explosive and highly interesting group. The corners of her mouth twitched when she thought of the conflicting constellations of people in her tent. She was very curious about how the next weeks would go. Some of her 'roommates', whom she had never met before, seemed quite nice, though. But with Percival and Dee, there was a lot of drama potential. Not to mention Rafael and Aurelia…
Being outside in this peaceful and wide area was therefore a pleasant change to their interesting but exhausting tent evenings. She couldn't wait to lay down relaxed on the blanket, look up into the sky and just take in her surroundings.

Before she finally set off to follow Dee, she grabbed some strawberries and looked around to see if she could find any other friends or acquaintances of hers. She would also have liked to talk to Erik, Syl or even Aida. But they didn't seem to be here yet. Well, maybe they would still show up.

With a smile, she strolled over to Dee. The young Ravenclaw had already sat down in a large blanket. Ileen grinned and let herself plop down next to her friend. With a soft giggle, she grabbed a pillow and turned to the brunette. “Perfect spot. Good choice.” She frowned and gazed at the others. “Do you think there is enough space for all of us?” Her grin widened and her brown eyes sparkled in amusement. “I’m willing to defend my spot.” Confidently she knocked on the pillow and then let herself fall on her back with a chuckle. Then, she reached out her hand with the strawberries and dropped one from above into her open mouth. She was excited. Excited to see what the evening might bring to them.

A lingering grin was playing across his features as he heard Dee's snapback and turned to walk away to head over towards the area of blankets that his tentmates had acquired, that girl was something. Casting a gaze along the rest of the open area of tables and blankets, he recognized a few but decided to go and join the rest of his mates for the time being. Friendships would be formed more closely without the weight of classes upon them and he'd take full advantage of the fact that they'd all be entering the second year with each other; besides Aurelia, that monster hunter was welcome any time to give Rafa a fright for Zyks own amusement.

With his bag of Jelly Slugs in hand, he stowed his free hand to the pocket just next to where his aspen wood wand lay tucked within his waistline. Dee had positioned herself on the blanket, Ileen next to her of course and Zyk would just walk up casually and plop down next to the pair of them, "You know I can't stand this star crap," he said out of the corner of his mouth, letting the bag of Jelly Slugs settle down between himself and Dee, for the time being, figuring she'd take her liberties with them as she pleased. Feeling a bit stuffy, he'd take the hoodie he was wearing at the time off to reveal a muggle band t-shirt with the word 'Nirvana' written across it. Settling his hoodie behind himself then, he'd turn to tuck it into a soft pillow-shaped form and look to his side and notice that Eyre was there.

A nod would be given to Eyre, "Oy' Boyo, what's good?" he asked casually, after a moment of the pleasantries, he'd notice a girl approach Eyre and sit down with him there and he gave a little wave of a hand towards Lindsey, a girl he had met multiple times before and he had no issues with, for once, "Hey Lindsey," he said, then gave a side-eyed smirk over towards Eyre and let them two have their little awkward conversation. Zyk wasn't above keeping an ear out in interest though, it'd be fun to see how other Gryff boys interacted with girls, apparently, he had been doing it all wrong as of lately, with all the drama that was attached to him.

Settling himself down on the blanket, he peeked his head up for a moment to peer over at Ileen, "Wants some Slugs?" he questioned, looking down towards the bag he had between himself and Dee, "I'm sure we can find some slugs up in the sky somewhere," he looked up back towards the sky and saw three little stars that form a dumb-looking line, "See," he pointed, "A slug," he huffed, "How riveting," he mused, a little laugh continuing on from him. Figuring though that the others might actually want to enjoy whatever this even was, he settled himself down and relaxed for the time being, mind going a little elsewhere when he thought of the girl that he was supposedly dating and hoping that she was going to make the move on her real crush.

"Really?..I wonder if I've seen him round before." Eyre commented. "All of my siblings were in Ravenclaw and Slytherin when they were here, but I'm the only one in school now."

They sat in silence for awhile, Eyre trying to find another star on his sheet. He mumbled to himself, looking down at the paper that was now in Lindsey's hands and the night sky. He had scratched off a few more once he was able to identify them, before giving up once he heard his stomach growl.

"So...where are you from?" He asked her, opening up the basket to gawk at the treats. He frowned when he noticed just how many Jelly slugs they'd packed away in his particular basket. Eyre felt particularly selfish in that moment. Even if his new friend had liked the treat, there was no way that he could feasibly pay attention to their conversation if he had to watch her eat them. He had a strong dislike for Jelly slugs ever since his sister Annalisa had told him about the spell that could make you vomit them. Ever since then, he couldn't eat the treat without picturing them suddenly turning sentient and wriggling around in his maw.

Once he had retrieved the packages, he had turned to Zyk who was paying less attention to the stars in the sky, and more towards the treats that had been provided for them.

"Oi, Zyk. All yours, mate." He said in disgust, tossing them gently into his lap. He knew that his fellow housemate would like them a lot more than he did, considering that his group kept devouring him. In lieu of the Jelly slugs, he chose a chocolate frog, which was ironically a lot less gross to him by comparison. Also, he was an avid card collector.
