Text Cut: Sierra

It was very noticeable, truth be told, how Sierra's expression changed when Kurumi was mentioned by the Professor. Treyen couldn't possibly comprehend why was it that the Slytherin didn't like the Gryffindor that much, and he KNEW that being in those Houses had nothing to do with it.

A chuckle was let out as Sierra kind of complained about not knowing the spell before. He smiled anyway, "You did a pretty good job adjusting the focus manually, nonetheless," so, really, the spell was not that necessary. It would've saved them a couple minutes, surely, but it's not like the girl next to him spent the entirety of the lesson doing so. All good.

Treyen watched as she performed the spell on her telescope. He'll do with his the next time he took it out, but at the moment...and since he was granted permission to do so...he partnered up with Sierra. Again. Wait, what? That question was for him, right? Right. "What? Mercury?" or the focus? She'd meant the new focus, of course, he knew that. And...also Mercury. "Actually...," he started, and peered through the telescope again, IT did look waaaaay better, "...it looks okay," smirk. But he did notice the one planet on the right, and the bronze looked a bit more like brown. The brighter, brownish-bronze planet...against the silvery, less bright one on the left? The brighter one on the right must be Mercury instead. The Hufflepuff Prefect smiled and left the telescope alone for Sierra's use, "It's the one on the right."

How long was it until dawn? Hmm. She looked toward Treyen and shrugged. How was she meant to know how far away dawn was? It was too short of a time span if you asked her. Nights were meant for sleeping, which she sort of hoped to do well before dawn. Ugh, ...did the professor have to go and ruin whatever good mood Sierra had left by mentioning Hollingberry? Instead of rolling her eyes in the presence of Treyen, she decided to focus on practicing the wand movement and incantation they'd just been taught. *"...could have used this* ten minutes ago,"** Sierra mumbled, flicking her wand out its holster. She stared at Treyen as he went over things that confused her from the time he opened his mouth. Then he suggested she try the spell on her telescope, which was more along the lines of what she'd been thinking. Right. Focus the telescope first and then worry about silver objects, bright objects, bronze objects and whatever-objects up in the sky. "Alright then," she said, aiming her wand. She swished her wand and then tapped on the telescope. "Lens Focalis!" She waved Treyen toward it. "What's it look like now?"
