Outside the walls of Hogwarts night slowly overtook day; rich pastels shifted to deep navy dotted liberally with shimmering stars and a bright moon, almost full.
The halls were all but completely empty. It was almost curfew and most were settling themselves inside their common rooms. Others wandered, making their way through the halls at a leisurely pace, Nova was one of those few. Her black cloak billowed behind her, fighting Nova’s forward movements down a flight of stairs. Close by, a slight breeze carried through a window as it gave way to the darkening outside. Nova stopped abruptly, setting the few books formerly cradled in her arms onto the cold stone floor.
Hanging out the window, Nova gazed bellow, her heart beginning to beat quicker than the normal rate as sight of the far off ground sent adrenaline through her body. Her gaze slowly shifted up, her elbows balanced on the hard stone window. Nova’s eyes longingly scanned the sky. It’s so big, she thought in awe. "Endless," she muttered audibly. Leaning out farther, Nova craned her neck upward, catching sight of the stars even more above her.
Distracted by her own curiosity, the sound of soft footprints evaded her detection until they were almost right on top of her, spooking her. Nova jumped slightly, catching herself on the window before she become too off balance, letting out a yelp of surprise and fright before whipping around to face whomever had startled her.
