Lysander wasn't sure when he began thinking about the stars. True, he was under a tree during a sunny morning, but he couldn't help but wonder. What would stars look like up close? How long would it take for him to die? Would it look beautiful? These were the kind of frivolous questions that Astronomy teachers didn't have the time for. Still, he couldn't help but wonder.
"Lily?" He said, looking at his cloud watching companion; her brows furrowed in concentration.
"Hmmm?"
"Have you thought about the stars today?"
Lily blinked at him in confusion. "Lys, it's the morning. So no," she said, looking at the dreamy eyed boy.
Lysander frowned. How often was it that people thought about stars anyway? Muggles said the sun was a star, so surely stars were important things to think about.
"Lily?"
"Yeah?"
"Have you ever made a wish on a shooting star?"
Lily raised an eyebrow. Lysander and his brother Lorcan were intelligent, but also eccentric like their mother. His line of thought didn't surprise her very much.
"No. Maybe, although I don't really remember the last time I did," Lily said wistfully.
"Next time we see one, we ought to make a wish," he said seriously.
She smiled at him.
"We'll make a wish together," she said and he smiled back dreamily; his thoughts already a million miles away.
Thanks for reading, review if you can! :)
