Two years. Two years since she was forced to leave everything and everyone
she knew and loved. Becky Potter had been forced into hiding by the Death-
Eaters, one of which was her love's father. Now she lived as a Muggle in
the United States of America. Becky sat in her green P. T. Cruiser, weaving
her way through the usual evening rush hour traffic. The car had silver
snakes along the bottom edges of the doors. Looking east, towards her
England, the place she had called home for so long, she thought about
Draco, wondering if she would ever see him again.
***
Draco Malfoy climbed up the staircase to North Tower. He stepped out onto the window ledge and pulled himself onto the roof. He gazed up at the stars, thinking about the day she left. She had said she would be back one day, but he had heard the note of uncertainty in her voice. He thought of all the things he had learned in Muggle Studies, how some Muggles did things all the others thought was impossible. And he remembered one who went and disappeared. Becky had disappeared. He hadn't heard from her since the day she left. He'd told himself countless times, "It's been two years, time to move on, Draco." But he couldn't. He just couldn't forget her. She was the only person who had ever really cared about him.

~Ninety miles outside Chicago
~Can't stop driving, I don't know why
~So many questions… Need an answer
~Two years later, you're still on my mind
2 [Draco]
~Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart?
~Who holds the stars up in the sky?
~Is true love just once in a lifetime?
~*~
Becky suddenly banged her fist on the dashboard. "Damn Lucius Malfoy!" she exploded, "He's the only thing keeping us from being together!"
***
Draco watched the sky get lighter and lighter. It was going to be a sunny day. He smiled. "Her favorite weather," he murmured. He mentally slapped himself. Stop thinking about her!

Becky thought of the Muggle "paradises" she had been to, but they were nothing like the paradise she had once lived in, when she had Draco.
***
A breeze blew past Draco, rustling the leaves of the Forbidden Forest, and playing with his hair. He thought he heard a voice in the wind. Her voice.
***
She imagined, once again, that she was back in the compartment on the Hogwarts Express where she had first met him; not in her car speeding the highway, but on the train, helping him with his star-charts, speeding towards Hogsmeade Station.

Draco walked down to the Hogwarts Library, hoping to find something that would take his mind off her. His feet carried him to the section on stories from the Bible. He pulled down the first book he came to. Sampson and Delilah. Great, he thought, Just what I need. A love story.
***
Becky pulled into her driveway. Getting out of her car, she looked up and saw that the moon was full, just like it had been at the Christmas Ball in her 5th year.

Becky walked inside her house, hung up her jacket, and walked into the den. She pulled a video off of a shelf. She looked at the movie. The Wizard of Oz. "I know what it's like to be away from home. I don't need a movie to tell me about it." She pushed it back onto the shelf.
***
Draco took the book, left Hogwarts, and apparated, from just outside of Hogsmeade, to the shore. He looked across towards where he knew she was. He saw the last stars in the sky disappearing below the horizon.
***
Becky sat in her synagogue that night, praying with the rest of the congregation. They went through nearly every prayer in the service before they reached the one she was waiting for. The Silent Amidah.

22 [Both]
~Open the world
23 [Becky]
~I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
24 [Draco]
~Watched the stars crash into the sea
25 [Becky]
~If I can ask G-d just one question
26 [Both]
~Why aren't you here with me… tonight?
~*~
Draco's father appeared next to him. He put a hand on his son's shoulder. Draco spun around, slapping his hand off. "Don't come near me!" he snarled, "This is all your fault!"
***
Becky couldn't take it any more. Living as a Muggle was driving her crazy! If she couldn't be a witch in England with him, then she could at least be a witch in America. She still had her falcon (they can deliver letters, just like owls, but they're much faster) which Draco had given her in her 5th year. She whistled, and Polulav (Latin for Griffin) flew down to perch on her arm. She wrote out a letter to the Salem Witches Institute, asking if they had any open positions, and the reply came back the next day. Astronomy was open. She looked up at the sky. The stars; hadn't that been how she and Draco had first become friends?

Draco apparated back to Hogsmeade. He walked onto the Hogwarts Grounds, because you couldn't apparate in or out of Hogwarts, and he didn't feel like talking to his father just now. As he walked around the lake, he looked down at the book in his hands. A love story; that's what his life was. A sad love story.
***
Becky sat in the Astronomy Tower at the Salem witches Institute, waiting for her first class to arrive. She was looking through her telescope for "his" constellation. When she found it, she stared at it for a long time. Then she heard voices outside the classroom. "I heard… Death-Eaters… believe it… you?" The next moment, a small group of girls walked into the room. A minute later, the rest of the class joined them. Since the students in the class were first years, they just went over the basic constellations. After the class, she went back to the telescope. Only now it was pointing at the moon. And, though she didn't know it, Draco was looking at that at the same exact moment.
