Enzo isn't the best at hiding secrets, but this was something he was determined to do.
Daphne came to your dorm after dinner, her cover was that she needed help in the Astronomy Tower with homework.
So, you grabbed a sweater and followed.
You expected to see Pansy & Astoria already there, huddled around a telescope, shivering from the cold, annoyed by some constellation.
What you weren't expecting was Enzo, dressed in an apron, standing next to two easels, already covered in paint with a big dumb grin.
You went to turn to Daphne, to question her, but she was gone.
Enzo threw an apron at you and returned to his canvas.
You giggled, put it on, and made your way over to your canvas.
Upon further inspection, the Astronomy Tower was decorated with blue and white vines, little fairies were floating around, holding glowing berries.
Enzo was always good at befriending creatures.
There was a little table between your two easels.
Fruits, cheeses, crackers, and sliced meats were on a silver plate, there were chocolates and some fizzy drinks in two bottles.
You glanced over to see what he was painting, it was the view from the tower, looking over the lake. He had enchanted some of his paint to glitter and glow. It was breathtaking.
He was so concentrated, making sure to get every paint stroke perfect.
He only broke concentration when he heard you giggle.
As he stood up to get a different paintbrush, you flicked some paint at his chest.
Uh-oh.
He slow-turned his head towards you, dipped his hands in paint, and started chasing you around the tower. He eventually caught you, and placed both hands on your chest, leaving green and purple hand prints.
You smeared some paint on his nose and cheeks for revenge.
You two started giggling and hugging, paint getting everywhere. He decided the paintings were good enough, so he dragged you down to a blanket he had set up.
You could see the whole sky from up here. You snuggled closer together for warmth and comfort, falling asleep beneath the stars.
"You have the constellations in your eyes."
