Astronomy was not one of his better subjects. In fact despite his middle name and his family being named after consilations, it was his worst subject. The tower was one of his favorite spots to go though. He liked being up high away from everyone. It was amusing that some people thought they were clever coming up here to sneak in a snog. Maybe it was a tradition or some such nonsense.

It was one of the better towers to that had a wonderful view of the grounds. Silas preferred it to Ravenclaw Tower. Bounding up the last few steps the only thing on his mind was to enjoy the solitude. Maybe even contemplate whether he should hint to which side he had chosen. That all changed when he saw that he wasn't alone.

Swallowing he paused when he saw Evangeline. He had yet to talk with Riley to try and maybe help him figure out what he was feeling. After the boathouse Silas had made sure he was never alone with the girl until he could work things out. He'd likened it to the crush he'd had on Luna first year. Except she hadn't made him anxious like Evangeline did. He'd also never kissed the blond. Licking his lips Silas took a hesitant step before stopping again.

He'd already learned from watching her she hadn't been having a go at him. That she hadn't been dared. Silas made up his mind, went to sit beside her, and gave a nervous smile. Until he saw her lip and he frowned. This wasn't the first time he'd seen her like this which had him questioning the professors for missing it.

Deciding she would tell him if she wanted or not, he cleared his throat. "If you're playing hide-n-seek, I think you have to have more than one player."
