He shifted the telescope to her so she could get a better looked. She looked sideways at him and smiled before she took a look inside the telescope.

There, inside the scope and beyond to the universe, was a mesh of stars and a wonderful universe lay out in front of her. Her eyes widened at the sight and her eyes darted from side to side wanting to see everything she could. No wonder Gideon loved this stuff. It was amazing. She removed her face from the telescope and said hurriedly to him, "It'S beautiful.". Then she went back to looking inside the telescope like an excited three year old.
Gideon watched as Selina took her turn at the telescope to see what she had noticed before from a closer perspective thanks to the instrument in front of her. He had to admit, even if it was to himself, to see her reaction when she saw the difference and the new detail, the widdening of her eyes even visible with the viewfinder of the scope in the way.

"Aye...that it is," he remarked in agreement, smiling as Selina seemed to see what he saw, that the night sky had a nice view...well as long as it was a clear evening. At least astronomy was a class they could share since potions clearly wasn't available with her hatred of the subject. "Do ye see anything else?" he asked the 5th year glancing at the notes he had and comparing it to what he had thought he himself had seen before. It might still be visible or it might need a little tweaking of the location of the telescope's view. But he figured he would ask her to see what she could pick up.
