This was my first attempt at writing a fic composed entirely of dialogue, so I apologize if it completely and utterly SUCKS. Written for the Florence and the Machine Challenge as posted by our little infinity.

"I don't get it. They all just look like dots to me."

"Just look where I'm pointing."

"...Nope, still don't get how those possibly form a picture."

"It's abstract."

"Is that the Big Dipper?"

"No, Harry, that's part of Orion's belt. See?"

"Well, that's the only constellation I know."

"Well MAYBE if you had signed up for astronomy-"

"Not all of us choose to take more than 4 extra courses, Hermione.

Actually, make that NONE of us. Except you."

"Well, I'm a special girl."

"That you are."

"Harry, stop it! That tickles! Oh, not the feet, not the-HAHAHA-Seriously!

Stop! I can't br-HAHAHAHA-I can't breathe!

"Fine..."

"Oh thank MERLIN! I can breathe again!"

"Now who's being melodramatic?"

"I never said YOU were."

"...It's quite nice out here, isn't it, Hermione?"

"It's WET, that's what it is."

"Take that up with mother nature, not me."

"Oh, alright then...CURSE YOU MOTHER NATURE FOR COVERING THE GROUND WITH THESE STUPID RAINDROPS ON THE ONLY NIGHT I WAS ABLE TO SNEAK OUT TO SPEND ALONE WITH MY BOYFRIEND!"

"...Okay, I think she gets it."

"...Harry...I don't believe it..."

"What?"

"DAMN YOU MOTHER NATURE AND YOUR STUPID RAINCLOUDS FOR BLOCKING OUT THE SKY THE ONE NIGHT MY BOYFRIEND AND I DECIDE TO STARGAZE!"

"Oh...I've never heard you yell so much..."

"You're clearly just a bad influence."

"Anyway, well, we could always use the telescope in the Astronomy Tower."

"But...it's just so magical out here."

"Yes, this IS a school for magic...Ouch!"

"You know what I mean, Potter."

"...Bloody hell, I think it's raining."

"Shit, I cannot HANDLE any more raindrops! My shirt is already soaked."

"Cursing now, I see."

"I TOLD you, you're just a bad influence. But…this is so wet…ugh…"

"It is?"

"Yeah...ugh, I'm really going to have to wash it...Brrr, it's cold out!"

"Here, let me just..."

"Ahh, that's better. You have warm arms."

"You're really shivering. We should get you inside."

"And here I thought we'd be watching the stars all night. It would've been so romantic..."

"It could still be."

"Even in the dorms?"

"ESPECIALLY in the dorms."

"Ooh, I like the sound of that."

(Thunder rumbles)

"And I DON'T like the sound of that. Come on, Mione, let's go."


Hermione glanced up once more at the cloud-covered stars and thought, "Another night, I suppose," before running to join her secret boyfriend.
