August 31, 2017. Scorpius Malfoy was too excited to sleep. His things were all packed-in either his trunk or his bag for the train, which contained mostly candy. Peppermint imps, chocolate frogs, something strawberry flavored.
Scorpius looked at the stars outside. He could see Draco, the constellation his father was named after. Then he saw it. A beam of light falling down, down, down from the sky. A falling star. Scorpius had never seen one before. But he knew about wishes.
On September 1st, Scorpius woke up ready to face the next seven years. He had faith in his star, and held on to the wish he made. He would turn out alright. He just knew it.
