It was not that he automatically made the team, in fact he usually got a harder try out then most, but more that she wanted to see him try out. The redhead would have had the ENTIRE Gryffindor house try out if she could make them all. However, whoever did not sign up just had no house spirit and did not care about the victory of the lions. Or at least that was what she told herself.

Her blue eyes flickered up to Gideon with a bemused smile. She winked at him quickly before cheekily adding, "Good boy." The sixth year liked the fact that he took a lot of her small jabs and usually could dish his own right back. Most boys would have been grossly overwhelmed and offended by a girl indirectly calling their boyfriend a dog. Or at least a pet. Although, if they were being honest Gideon was not a dog, he was more of a bird. Yet, she really did like dogs. Maybe she would invest in one over the summer. Maybe a basset hound. They were tough, but they wouldn't be bigger than her small stature.

A small blush crept up on her cheeks when he lead her over to the telescope. He seemed to have this entire thing pretty much under control. That was one of the reasons she liked her boyfriend so much. Gideon was a planner, he was very calculated- although, she did have the tendency to bring out his spontaneous side- so that everytime she was with him, she did not feel like he was grasping at straws. He made her feel sort of safe, which was a girlish notion. A girlish motion she did not mind indulging in. Not with him. He just sort of made everything easy for her. She never felt like she had to be anything but herself with him, he had the rest under control.

She took a seat as he scrounged for his notes in his bag. The captain twittled with her fingers as he adjusted everything so it was ready and when he spoke she looked at him. He, ever the gentlemen, was letting her look first. Her lips curved into a beaming smile before she added, "Why thank you, sir." The redhead leaned into the telescope and looked at the night sky with perfect vision. That was when she spotted something, "Gideon... what is that thing? It's too bright to be a star...."
