I sat in Astronomy with Athena and Neville. I held in my arms a rolled up poster that was my and Parkinson's project. Well, technically it was mine because I did all the work.

Professor Sinistra gave us a few minutes to prepare ourselves with what to say before officially starting the presentations.

Pansy rushed into the classroom clutching her own version of a poster. "Sorry I'm late!" she yelled making the attention turn to her. "I was up so late making the project."

I rolled my eyes wondering what could possibly be on the poster because I knew that Pansy could not have done the assignment properly.

She curried over to the table that I was seated at and set down her poster board. "What is this?" I asked.

"Our project obviously" she sang unraveling.

My eyes.

Oh how they burned at the sight.

It was horrible.

I wanted to stab forks in my eyes and spoon them out, then feed them to fish.

"Pansy you do realize the project was on the constellation Draco, not Draco Malfoy, right?" I asked.

Her poster was a collage of pictures of Draco Malfoy. There were ones of him standing, sitting, and even ones where he was sitting in the library reading. There was one picture that irked me for some reason. It was a picture of Pansy standing next to Malfoy in a wedding dress and both of them wearing bright smiles.

"It was?" she asked in reply.

"Oh lord" I slapped my forehead. "At least I did the project for real."

"Then why'd I spend all this time making this poster board?" she scratched the top of her head.

"Cause your an idiot" I muttered, taking out the real project. "This is the project" I showed her the one I did with actual information of the constellation and multiple drawings and pictures.

"Eh" she shrugged, "I'll just keep this poster board as like" she thought for a second, "maybe a dream board or something."

I fought the urge to vomit right then and there. I examined the pictures of Malfoy on the board, noticing that they were focused in which meant she took them from a distance. "Where'd you get these pictures?" I asked curiously.

"I took them of course" she answered like it was the simplest thing in the world.

"You took them, without him knowing?" I asked worried for Pansy's mental health and honestly a little concerned about the safety of Malfoy.

"Duh" she replied like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"You know that's like stalking, right?"

"No" she blew it off, "it's just taking pictures of someone without them knowing."

"That's stalking."

"No its not. I also follow him around sometimes when he's doing Head Boy duties, so that's not stalking, obviously."

Wow I should really get this girl a dictionary or something because she really needs it right about now. "Wow you have a serious problem Parkinson and honestly, you need help."

She gasped at me like I was crazy. "You're just jealous."

"Far from it" I answered partially truthful. I was not jealous of her stalkerish traits, but more of that photoshopped picture of her and Malfoy together happily. It brought an unsettling feeling in my stomach and honestly made me want to murder Pansy.

"I'm honestly surprised you don't have a dick pic in there somewhere" I snorted somewhat sarcastically.

"Believe me I tried, but never worked" she shook her head. "Could never get close enough."

Oh my god.

Do you ever just want to hex a bitch?

Cause that's exactly how I feel right now.

I'm also disgusted, but then again kinda impressed by her determination and will to never give up. It's inspiring for all the wrong reasons.

"I'm appalled" I said my thoughts out loud.

Before she could snap back Professor Sinistra interrupted our horribly disgusting conversation that made me sick with thought. "Times up everyone so I hope you've all prepared" she clapped excitedly.

"First up" she read from off of her list, "Ms.Granger and Mr.Fletchley with the constellation Sirius."

Hermione and Justin walked up to the front of her classroom while Professor Sinistra took a seat at her desk with a clipboard out.

Hermione handed Professor Sinistra and parchment that looked about 5 feet long and stuck her poster on the wall with magic.

She began to talk about the constellations origins and the origin of the name first. Then she talked about where the constellation was in the solar system and it's neighboring constellations.

"-and if you spot Sirius you can be sure to find Orion close by."

"This is so boring" Pansy groaned gazing off at her disturbing pictures of Draco with much adoration. I rolled my eyes in irritation.

Justin spoke a bit, but Hermione did most of the work which Professor Sinistra noticed so she most likely took a point off for that. When they were finished we clapped and gave them a round of applause as they bowed and went to sit down.

"Next we have Mr.Longbottom and Mr.Malfoy with the constellation Lyra" Professor Sinistra said.

"Yayy go Drakeyy!!" Pansy yelled making eyes turn to us and I dropped my head in my arms to stop the growing headache that was forming.

"I'm going to kill myself" I muttered under my breath.

"Please do" Pansy said having heard me and I rolled my eyes once again.

Pansy began to wave her poster in the air in 'support' of Draco. In a moment I could have not wanted to die more. I lost all my dignity and most likely died of humiliation.

What I thought was strange was, how did Pansy not have an ounce of regret for doing such open things about her affection for Malfoy? How did she not get embarrassed, because many people talked shit about her openly and to her face. So it just amazes me how the girl could have so much passion about something and not care of what people thought of her.

If only she could put her passion into something else, like her studies or a subject of school. Not a boy because it was just disturbing and quite frankly, scary.

Neville and Draco spoke pretty much evenly, but they didn't have as much information as Hermione because we all knew that Hermione went above and beyond. Remember that 5 foot parchment, yeah, that was a essay about Sirius. I just can't with her sometimes.

"In Greek mythology, Lyra represents the lyre of Orpheus. Made by Hermes from a tortoise shell, given to Apollo as a bargain, it was said to be the first lyre ever produced. Orpheus's music was said to be so great that even inanimate objects such as trees, streams, and rocks could be charmed" said Draco who explaining the myth behind the constellation.

"He's so smart" gushed Pansy to absolutely no one. She was talking to herself.

Wait, never mind.

She was talking to the moving pictures of Malfoy.

God that is disturbing.

Draco continued to talk and Pansy continued to shower him with annoying compliments and gush about how intelligent he was. I wouldn't doubt the fact that he was intelligent, but could the girl ever just stop talking for a second in her life.

I wanted so much to just zip that mouth shut.

"It's neighboring constellations are Cygnus, Hercules- like in the myth, Vulpecula, and Draco" Malfoy explained, reading from his presentation and reciting from memory.

"We have that one!!" shrieked Pansy which made Professor Sinistra sigh tiredly. I think she was also tired of Pansy's frequent outbursts.

"Ms.Parkinson if you don't stop speaking during their presentation I will have no choice, but to deduct points from your project."

I gaped at her and she gave me an apologetic look.

"Parkinson" I growled, "I swear to Merlin if you make me lose points I will slit your throat and make a necklace out of your vocal chords."

"Drakeyy" Pansy whimpered, "she's threatening me."

"Ms.Parkinson" Professor Sinistra warned.

I gave her a menacing glare that shut her up.

Finally, Malfoy finished his presentation which made Parkinson stop talking about how wonderful his hair was.

"Thank you Draco and Neville for that informative poster about the constellation of Lyra" said Professor Sinistra. "Up next is Ms.Parkinson and Ms.Wood."

I smiled at the professor because she knew I was aching to present, just not with Parkinson. Anyone but Parkinson, but reluctantly I got up dragging Parkinson along with me no matter how many times she tried to swat my hand away.

I hung up my poster on the wall for all eyes to see. I turned around where Pansy holding her poster in the open in front of everyone while everyone was looking at it with their eyes gaping.

"Well I'm glad to see one of you did the project correctly" muttered Professor Sinistra under her breath and I gave her a small smirk.

"Parkinson I will burn that thing if you don't put it down and let me handle this presentation" I threatened menacingly. She gulped and rolled the poster back up.

Malfoy was looking at me with concern in his eyes and I gave him a reassuring smile that said 'I'll tell you later if you talk to me.' He understood the message and gave me a small nod or understanding.

A few students chuckled at Pansy while Draco looked at her with incredulous eyes. He was clearly confused about how she had gotten that many photos of him because she'd never seen her with a camera around him. He looked a bit scared if I'm being honest, and I would be as well.

"We were assigned the constellation of Draco" I started motioning to the poster.

Pansy squealed at the name which did not go unnoticed and Draco shifted uncomfortably in his chair.

"Draco is a constellation in the far northern sky. Its name is Latin for dragon. It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy" I stated clearly.

Hermione gave me a reassuring smile and a thumbs up. Athena gave me a look saying 'I already know you're going to pass with flying colors.' As did Neville.

Pansy was absolutely no help during the presentation, choosing to spend her time gazing at the real Malfoy watching me present or gazing at her loving photos of him.

"Draco lies in the third quadrant of the northern hemisphere and can be seen at latitudes between 90 and -15. It is the eighth largest constellation in the night sky and occupies an area of 1083 square degrees" I continued to explain.

Pansy yawned at my information while Professor Sinstra jotted down notes from our presentation. Usually I was confident, but with Pansy I couldn't tell if she was writing entirely good things or some bad things, and I never got bad notes.

"The constellation nearest to Draco is Lyra. Other neighboring constellations are Bootes, Hercules, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Cepheus, Cygnus, and Camelopardalis."

I concluded by presentation soon after with an addition of extra information that was sure give me extra points because I needed all I could get.

I rubbed my head as I took my seat back down and the period continued until everyone had finished their presentations and there wasn't that many people because not that many 8th years chose to return after the war which was understandable.

When we were all dismissed I was quick to get out the classroom, not wanting to be suffocated by Pansy any longer.

I felt a hand pull me into a classroom and I was met with the stormy grey eyes of none other than...

Draco Malfoy
