January Scenario: Stars Are Bright Tonight

[Prof. Sky Alton 160]

  You emerge onto the top of the Astronomy Tower and the cold takes your breath away. The night is incredibly still and clear, ideal for star gazing. You huddle deeper in your cloak and make your way towards the long line of telescopes.

Situation:

  The Astronomy Department is taking advantage of the long winter nights to organise some community star gazing sessions for the entire school. This might sound like an incredibly peaceful (if chilly) way to spend a few hours but there are also prizes up for grabs for those who create the most detailed star charts so it could get astronomically competitive. There might even be a meteor shower tonight…

Location:

  You can roleplay anywhere on top of or within the Astronomy Tower.

Remember to read the guidelines before jumping in. Have fun!

[Manya Granger 12]

It was dark and cold night,, Manya walk to the top of astronomy tower, she has been so weak due to she was attacked by covid. She has terrible backlogs, pending homeworks. From when she has entered into Hogwarts after releasing from hospital, she has not spoken with anyone, not even with Rose, her best friend. Wiping the tears which was rolling down through her cheeks Manya sat at the astronomy tower, looked at the starsand thought "Will I ever be able to complete my all backlogs? my pending homeworks,? Will I ever become a good witch and proffessor? What if I-I fail in this terms? why my 1st year here is so terrible, why always this happens with me? I promised my parents I will make them proud, what they are gonna say?" She was hopeless, and clueless, she was crying non stop. 

[Maxim Trevelyan 12]

Maxim yawned as he dragged himself to the top of the Astronomy Tower. After his Astronomy OWL he promised himself never to step foot into it again, but there he was. With blankets and hot chocolate for all students that would join the star-gazing night. He really needed to stop getting the short straws between the Head Students.

 

'Good evening, students,' Maxim greeted anyone who was inside. 'I got some hot chocolate, cookies and warm blankets for anyone who wants them. Who's game?' he asked around, giving items out as they were requested.

 

'Hot chocolate, Manya?' Maxim smiled at the girl, patting her on the back a bit. She seemed inconsolable, but he waited for her to explain if she wanted.

[Rose Pottermore 24]

Rose slowly climbed the stairs upto the Astronomy Tower, and though she had a lot of experience climbing stairs to the Gryffindor tower, this was very hard.

As she reached to the top, she just stood in a corner, leaned to the wall. After a moment, she realised two other people were already there, one was Manya, but the other she couldn't make out by the loads of blankets he/she were carrying.

 

Then, she walked up cheerfully to Manya, greeted her, but found her crying. "Manya! Manya! Why are you crying?"

[Manya Granger 12]

Manya saw someone heading here with lots of blankets she immediately tried to stop crying before that person came there, but there was still signs of crying on her face! She saw Maxim! she did not understand how to react! She felt a bit shy because he seen her weeping like this, Maxim offered her some hot chocolate, she was feeling like a fool, she took the hot chocolate and said thanks, Maxim patted her back, and she felt a comfortable, " Sorry", she said, "I should not cry like this in front of anyone, but what can i do? I can't understand why life is so unfair? I was affected by covid,  so I missed my classes, I have lots of pending homeworks and terrible backlogs, I think the promise I made to myself to become a good witch, i won't keep it, for months I did nothing except lying on bed, now I do not know, what to say, what to do.? How to face my professors, my friends?" Manya started weeping again after she finished.

She saw Rose! Rose, her best friend, She doesn't know how to face her, she tried to give her a smile, but her eyes were still wet.
