So, this is for 'Your Favourite Hogwarts House Boot Camp Challenge'. It'll include 50 drabbles and one-shots about Slytherins. I'll try to update weekly. Every Monday if I can :)

Note: This doesn't mean that I'm done with 'For Every Frozen Heart'

Feel free to suggest pairings and/or characters. And...ENJOY!

Disclaimer: I mustn't tell lies, right? So I own none of the characters etc. etc.


Prompt: Stars

Pairing: Daphne Greengrass/Graham Montague

Daphne was merely a fourth year when she first met Graham. He was a sixth year at the time, so she'd never had any reason to pay attention to him or anything he was doing.

One day, however, she was sitting in the library which in itself was already very rear, she saw a group of sixth year boys reading some potion books. Daohne herself was far too lost in her Astronomy homework to pay attention to the fact that one of those boys was staring at her. She didn't have time for things like that. No, she had to learn the names of at least ten stars and how to find them.

Daphne was getting more and more frustrated by the minute. Stars. Stars. Stars. Honestly, didn't professor Sinistra have anything better to do than give her students impossible homework? Because that's what learning the names and locations of stars was. Impossible.

Suddenly something hit Daphne.

"What the...?" she exclaimed in surprise.

"I'm so sorry", one of the sixth years boys said as he came to pick up the small book which had hit Daphne, "I asked them not to play with the books"

Daphne narrowed her eyes at the boy. She knew he was lying. Slytherins never apologized. She was interested though, in why the boy had made the book hit her. Why her instead of all the other girls and boys in the library?

"Are you okay?" the boy asked.

"Yes", Daphne answered and turned back to her Astronomy homework.

"Stars, huh?" the boy asked, "I'm Graham Montague, by the way"

"Daphne Greengrass", Daphne sighed. Why couldn't the boy, Graham or whatever his name was, leave already?

"Are you having trouble with you homework?" Graham asked. Daphne leaned back in her chair and turned to stare at him

"Maybe I wouldn't be, if you stopped bothering me", she said.

"Learning the names of stars is really easy, you know. Much easier than potions", Graham said. Apparently he was pretending that he hadn't heard Daphne's comment.

"Maybe it would be easy, if I was even interested! Stars are boring! Who cares about them", Daphne really hated Astronomy, but she had no idea why she was telling that to Graham Montague. Wasn't he a quidditch player?

"I don't think stars are boring. They remind me of diamonds", he said. Daphne stared at him for a moment. Diamonds? Really?

"What?" he asked when he noticed her expression, "They look like small diamonds in the sky!"

"Right", Daphne said, turning back to her homework.

"I can help you with your homework, you know. If you need help. I reckon you'll find me in the common room", Graham said with a small smirk on his face. Daphne didn't even look up from her homework.

"Brilliant", she said.

Graham went back to his friends, making Daphne look up. She couldn't help but to think about what just happened. Graham Montague, a sixth year quidditch player, had just offered to help her with her homework. Suddenly, the stars seemed a bit too hard to learn on her own. She'd might have to ask him for advice. He made the stars seem a lot more interesting.
