Make a Wish...
I slid into the Astronomy tower, thinking I would finally be alone after trying the ballroom and the boy's lavatory, but with my luck, I'm not.
"H-Hello Lewis, I s-see we meet again," I say, stuttering because I forgot my coat, "And you," I look at the girl unknown to me, "I'm Alecks, what's y-your name?"
As I wait for an answer, I lay back and close my eyes, remembering the stories my family would tell on camping trips, remembering the way my boyfriend back in Ireland would hold me close on cold nights, remembering how grandma and grandpa would fix hot cocoa for the whole family. I open my eyes to see a blurry Lewis and a blurry girl.
'How had I not noticed I had been crying?'

Cameron climbs the stairs to the Astronomy tower to have a look around. He was aware that later on during his years at Hogwarts he would take an Astronomy class. But for now he enjoyed the scenery of the night sky half past midnight.
"Would ya look at tha?" Cameron said smiling at the stars as they twinkled at him in the night. He felt as though his mind could roam the heavens in search for a mystery that wasn't yet to be discovered. He heard the other students enter the Astronomy tower as well to enjoy the view of the nice sky. He didn't dare to look down from the tower due to its height being at such a distance from below. Being afraid of heights always worried him. He wondered what it would be like years from now taking an Astronomy lesson this late. The sound of sleep was dawning as he stretched his arms and took a deep breath as he headed for the stairs from which he came. As he started to descend town the stairs he felt bad for sneaking out this late. Knowing that he wasn't alone outside of the castle he wondered what lies beyond these stone cold walls.
