Stirring In The Stars
You want to know why Astrology is 'cool' and why its worth it, so you head up here. You see this black-haired boy, being way too happy for looking at some dots in the sky. You decided to ask him why.
Memphis could say that stars were his only friends, and were probably always going to be his only friends if he just kept staring at them and didn't socialize with anyone in this building, no matter how big the opportunity seemed. His mind could recognize certain constellations, and specific stars, the direction of the wind even. His eyes fluttered to the other side of the tower, along with his whole body. He hung around one side for an hour or so to not seem like a kid; he was one, but don't tell him that.
The north was way more enticing than the east side. He wished he could bring his bed here, never be judged on his choice of Ravenclaw clothing in a Hufflepuff dorm, and sit alone for all his days. The nighttime was such a beautiful time, the most enchanting time, especially for a maniac of Astronomy like Memphis himself. His hands begged to reach for the legends of the Stars and their meaning, but his stable mind kept him intact. This was way better than the comfort of his own home, where the curfew was much too early to see anything exciting.
Memphis was in a daze of the sparkling sky, twinkling at his presence; as if greeting the youth. The moon was also quite nice to watch. It wasn't a full moon, but it sure wasn't the ugliest light in the sky the boy had ever spotted. It had that glow on its rim that the sun didn't possess. The cool light relaxed the male's senses. He didn't need people. He had the night.

Stirring In The Stars
Kendra had been sceptical about Astrology ever since the first lesson. Curiosity, being her greatest trait, had led her all the way up to the Astronomy tower. All these stars on the sky... she had never before even wondered if they meant something more or they were just lights. As she entered the cold atmosphere of the night she took a moment to appreciate how light the air felt up there. It was like a different world, maybe being closer to the stars was the reason for that.
She never expected to find someone else up there, but then again students would try to sneak up there all the time, some were bound to succeed. Maybe this person and her had more in common than what they could imagine. She took some hesitant steps towards him and cleared her throat to catch his attention. She knew she could be ridiculously quite and it was easy to scare people, or at least startle them. The boy was too absorbed in looking at the sky, did he understand what he was seeing? The thought blew Kendra's mind, how could someone read the sky?
"Um...hello?" she spoke and hoped she wasn't being creepy.

The boy nearly jumped from surprise; expect he wasn't fully zoned out by the time he heard a singular footstep up here. He turned around to coldly stare at the girl. He pulled his distressed sweater back and crossed his arms. His looks resembled a miniature adult, and with those cold, staring eyes, seemed nothing like what he was just a few seconds ago, endorsed the sky. His breath was controlled and determined to take in as much of the fresh air as possible. Was he used to this?
His mind went to different places as he opened his lips, causing him to look away for a millisecond.
"What do you need?" He didn't want to be impolite for this girl didn't look too obnoxious or annoying and he could sense she wasn't like a Hufflepuff; utterly sick of those people by today.
In his left hand was a small, rusty edged metal booklet. It was Memphis' personal notebook, with his own sighted constellations and plans. He carried it with him on his 'star journeys' as he called it. He had over half of the book filled, as shown by the dog ears. In his right arm, a clench to the fist. He wanted to relax, for Merlin's sake! How difficult was it for all these students to just leave him alone?!

Aliea climbed the steep stairs in the Astronomy tower, eager to go look at stars. It probably wasn't allowed, but she did it nonetheless. What is school life without breaking one or two rules? It was a clear night, and she wanted to spend some time relaxing before going back to her dorm. Of course, Aliea didn't understand the meaning of stars nor recognize them. She knew almost nothing regarding the subject, except for the Big Dipper. However she appreciated the small twinkling lights, feeling entranced under the sheer vastness of the sky.
Today, Aliea felt like knowing Astrology better. Perhaps, gazing at stars today might provide her a better understanding of the subject. While climbing, she could hear several voices coming from above. She crept along the steps, emerging as she looked around the tower. Two students were already there, one seeming to be in... Ravenclaw? However she didn't remember seeing him in the Great Hall with the other Ravenclaws. That was odd. Another was a Slytherin, whom she recognized her features but she couldn't remember her name.
Deciding to join the two, she spoke in a hushed voice not wanting to interrupt. "Hi, hope I didn't interrupt anything." She gave a soft smile, and began walking towards the two. The boy didn't seem happy by her appearance, but she was unfazed. "I enjoy the view up here," She continued speaking, turning her gaze towards the starry sky. "Although I can't read constellations." She looked back at the two with curiosity reflecting in her eyes.

Astronomy it's facinating in many ways he always thought about the stars and what they mean in the universe as other planets or alien life. He just wanted to come to the Astronomy Tower for some research on some Constellations. He went up the stairs and he heard some voices he tried to be as quite as he can, he opened the door and looked out their was three girls each from diffrent houses it seemed.
He noticed that Kendra was there, he wanted to say "Hi" or something but he wanted to stay quite for the short period of time. "Hey" people I just came up here to take some notes on the constellations he takes out his hand telescope and starts to look at the stars. "You know the study Astrology is awesome you get to know where everything is" " I am a Sagittarius if you didn't know." He looks back at them with a grin. 'I know the constellations and what they mean and also who rules them. " I will now not try to interrupt your conversations now but I have to take these notes on what's happening". I take out a quill and my journal and start writing on the stars.

Stirring In The Stars
Memphis turned back away from everyone and back into the stars. His stars. He couldn't imagine others taking his stars and his sky. He couldn't imagine sharing the whole universe with some kids up on the Astronomy tower. He was quite possibly greedy only about that, which was great, because he didn't tend to be greedy over anything else.
"I didn't ask for a conversation."
He didn't even look at the other pre-teens. He hoped that would hush at least some people, but his voice trailed off mid-sentence as a very bright star twinkled up, just at him it seemed. His eyes followed it as he trailed along the circular building top, blinking almost too quickly as to not lose the view of the star.
The wind blew quite softly that night, too softly for such late night. Memphis obviously got to report this in his booklet, along with the direction of the wind and the most visible constellations. His head hung quite low, he listened to the whistle of the wind while getting lost in thought and his own notes, flipping through them mindlessly like a pulp of magazines or a boring book. His mind thought himself out of this situation with others.

He looked at Memphis and walked over with his own Booklet “I see your looking for constellations in the stars I have found many before but this time.... I can’t, I hope we can share some ideas and some knowledge." He said this with a proud but with a slight grin. He looked up at the stars and took some notes down. He knew these stars were special were something in life but sometimes he felt like he didn't have a purpose at all. He was a good kid with good grades and a nice life but in moments it doesn't feel like that. He stood there watching the stars as they moved around. It looked amazing, he went out of his faze and started looking at the girls "Why are you guys up here anyways" he looks at them with a half-smirk.
Well he was screwed why will Kendra the girl that he liked be up here the same day he had planed for the past 4 days. He thought he made a fool of himself the last time they were together like this but now looking at stars.. he didn't really know. He gave a slight sigh and went off to find some new things and stars at the edge of the Astronomy Tower. He didn't want to be a fool of himself in front of the girl that he liked how could this day get even worse.

As she looked back at the two students, she spotted another Slytherin coming up the tower. She nodded a greeting towards him, as he spoke. Aliea furrowed her eyebrows though only slightly, not enough to be noticed. He was indeed speaking quite loud, perhaps enough to attract some professor's attention. She sighed, considering asking him to be more quiet but decided against it. Aliea looked back at the Slytherin who just arrived, before answering. "I guess I'm a Leo, but don't know much about it..." She trailed off, before glancing at the Ravenclaw boy. He was dressed in blue, so she supposed he was in Ravenclaw.
"Hey, are you in Ravenclaw? Don't think I noticed you before." She inquired, still speaking in a hushed voice. The tranquil atmosphere in the tower allowed Aliea to relax, and she settled down on the floor near the edge. "The stars are sure pretty tonight." The boy seemed to prefer silence, so Aliea avoided speaking too often. As she noticed the small booklet the Ravenclaw boy was making notes on, she couldn't help but glance. "You seem interested in stars," Aliea murmured, interest audible in her voice.
She suddenly walked closer to the edge of the tower, her hands gripping the wall as she leaned forward to have a better look at the stellar sky. Perhaps today, she'd be able to understand more about stars. With curiosity reflecting off her eyes, she moved closer to the boy. "Do you know about the Big Dipper? Or the Leo... constellation?" She asked, not sure if she was pronouncing the words right. She hadn't had much opportunity learning about stars, but about herbs and charms. Astrology was a whole new subject, and she was now eager to know more.

"He looked back at the Griffindor girl the Leo constellation is a Lion as most people know that by now. Anyways the Leo sign's element is Fire most likely because the Lion strives like fire does. Your strengths are Creative, passionate, generous, warm-hearted, cheerful, humorous. "People born under the sign of Leo are natural born leaders which is why your in Griffindor I can see. There is a specific strength to a Leo and their "king of the jungle" status. Leo often has many friends for they are generous and loyal and I bet you do eyeing the girl." He had to take a break describing the Leo sign is not as difficult but you can waist your energy. He had already taken notes on it and how it is.
"Leo belongs to the element of Fire, just like Aries and Sagittarius. This makes them warmhearted, in love with life, trying to laugh and have a good time. Able to use their mind to solve even the most difficult problems, they will easily take initiative in resolving various complicated situations. Ruled by the Sun, Leo worships this fiery entity in the sky, quite literally as well as metaphorically. He finished with a sigh. "Well that's all I want to say as you know you didn't ask me but it looks like Memphis here is lost in the stars so why not give you answer." He was speaking pretty loud so he took it down a bit in the middle as so not to get professors awake or prefects.
