Her plan was to go straight to sleep, but obviously that wasn't going to happen now when she was this wide-awake.
Tora set down the heavy telescope and moved her shoulders a bit. When she had first started to go back inside, she had been too tired to even think of performing a spell to make the task easier, but now she had no problem. "Wingardium Leviosa" she said pointing at her supplies on the ground. They levitated nicely, and Tora moved further into the Entrance Hall.
It still amazed her the beauty of it all. So, because she had time (it was a Saturday after all), she decided to just stand there and take it all in again. Happy sigh. She smiled, even though she might be exhausted later, she was certainly having a great day now.
The decision between whether to go for a run or to have a flying session this morning was kind of difficult. Now he knew he was definitely back on the Quidditch team, Tobias wanted to spend all his time flying. Thing WAS, flying was a LOT of work and strenuous and stuff, but it wasn't quite as good as running was when trying to get rid of some energy. Tobias had been particularly ansty this morning, so 6am run it was.
Today's route had taken him all around the grounds, through the pathways, around the willow, all the way around the lake and then he looped the castle, jogging through the maze after all that just for fun. Then back to the lake to splash his face with the freezing water. It had been quite a long run indeed, and now he had to go and get washed up to start doing some extra reading for his classes.
Hair still dripping from the lake water, and with him massaging a stitch in his side (cold air + running = ouch), Tobias re-entered the castle via the entrance hall and was about to make straight for the stairs down to the kitchen level corridor when he noticed someone ELSE.
Just STANDING here.
In the empty Entrance Hall. Hm.
Tobias wandered over to the girl instead of towards his common room.
"Hi there!" he panted gently, still slightly out of breath.
"Whatcha do-" But then he spotted the telescope. Riiiiiiight. Yeah. That made sense. He changed tack immediately.
"Been doing some stargazing?"
Totally not weird for just striking up a conversation. Not at all.
