A Clear Starry Night

[Sakura]

It was a beautiful clear night, a once grey haired girl was walking the dark corridors knowing exactly where to go, the Astronomy Tower. Ever since she had first laid eyes on a star, Sakura was fascinated and swore she that whenever she would see a clear night she would seek the heavens. She walked slowly and calmly passed the sleeping portraits, round corners and up staircases, she was swift and silent with all her movements, trying not to be seen.

After while of walking Sakura found the tower, she sat on the windowsill and gazed out of it. A slight breeze was coming through making her newly red hair flow the direction the wind was. It may have cold and no lights were lit, but she felt perfectly safe. She shivered a little, from the cold air that was coming in, so she reached down to get her jumper from her waist, but then noticed it wasn’t there, she had left I tin the Common Room. “Shoot,” she said, annoyed by the fact she left her nice warm sweater folded up on bed.

She forgot about the sweater and looked up at the stars and thought about her parents. She remembered that once her father got out his old telescope on a clear night very much like this one and let her have a little peak through it. The telescope was pointing at a random star, but it still intrigued her. With that thought in mind Sakura stared into the quiet blessed peace of the night and thought about that moment in her childhood. She smiled to herself, in the tower and listened to the silence, then she closed her eyes and imagined that she had gone through a time machine and was there hugging her father after she had looked through the old telescope.

[Jam-jul lison Lucius]

"Shoot"

Was all he heard when he walked threw the door to the Astronomy tower. He had come up out of his common room to just sit in the moon and star light and relax. He had not expected to hear or see anyone up here not at this time at least. He was always liked to sit alone under the stars.

When he peeked around at the sound of her words he smiled slightly. It was a surprise but it was OK he gave her another smile.

"Hello." He said to her with a little bit of a laugh in his voice. His eyes where shining with excitement, he liked talking to new people. The reason for his coming up here, his mother's letter simply vanished from his mind at the sight of her "My name's Jam-jul lison Lucius."

He blushed a little "My friends call me Lucius."

[Sakura]

The sudden opening of the large doors made Sakura jump and heart miss a beat. A young boy stood in the doorway, he was smiling and greeted her with a nice “hello” then he introduced himself. She listened as he said his name; all she caught was the last of it. When he blushed, she realized that he must have been shy, just like her. “It is nice to meet you Lucius,” she said cheerfully, the cold wind was easing up now but still left her shivering slightly, she tried making it unnoticeable.

Sakura drifted her attention to Lucius and made a note on what he looked like, she had a habit of forgetting faces but remembering names well. After a few minutes of only being able to hear the crickets in distance, she spoke once more: “So I guess you like looking at the stars too?”

Her thoughts drifted again out of the open window and gazed at a glittering star that had suddenly caught in the corner of her eye. She looked at it for a couple of seconds then turned back to the boy and smiled. She wanted to get to know him and to make a new friend; she enjoyed making new companions it was a way of getting to know more about the environment too. So she smiled and waited for his answer.
