Standing by his telescope, eye pressed to the lens he listened as his friend saw Saturn. He saw nothing. Auggie was just about to ask her to help him position the tool but then heard her whisper a spell.
Yeah...he should try that.
"Lens Focalis." he said tapping his wand against the tube of be telescope and was glad that it had worked and he know saw an illuminated sky. He quickly grabbed his quill and sketched out the night sky to the best of his drawing abilities and just as he finished he heard Kurumi shreak and drop her mug.
For the split second that she had shouted his name and heard the cup drop he had thought, horrified that she had fallen off somehow. His heart pounding he was relieved but then eager to see what she saw. The Gryffindor jammed his eye into the lens and saw something bright moving quickly across the souther sky.
"Kurumi, is that a shooting star or a meteior?" he shouted excitedly.
Kurumi peered into her telescope so hard that she was pretty sure the lens was going to leave a mark. It wasn't really moving all that fast, and you sort of had to close your eyes for a few moments and open them again to see any change in location, but it definitely was moving. "
Actually," Kurumi laughed as she finally removed her eye from the lens, showing off the red circle around it that made her only slightly resemble a panda. "
A shooting star and a meteor are synonymous." And, technically speaking, stars didn't shoot.
She took a peek back into her telescope to see that it still hadn't moved very much. "
Seeing as meteors move very quickly in the Earth's atmosphere...I don't think that we are looking at one of those." She tapped the lens and cast the spell once more. "
I think...we are looking at a comet!"
