"You almost done your star chart?" Draco looked up at me from his telescope.

"Yeah, I'm just finishing the constellations between the Ecliptic and Celestial Equator." I replied quickly still focusing on connecting the stars for Canis Minor. Draco had finished his star chart at least 10 minutes ago and was now gazing through his telescope making notes.

"Do you want some help?" He suggested.

"No." I replied instantly.

Astronomy was his favorite subject, the only one he seemed to like, probably because he was really good at it. It irritated me so much that he was better than me at it which made me push myself even harder.

"Done!" I yelled proudly then looked over to see him chuckling at me, "What?"

"Nothing." He bit his lip and continued gazing after making a note.

I let it slide, "What are you staring at now?" I walked over and stood beside him looking up into the sky.

"I'm writing down other constellations that surround the star chart, so that if I ever want to find it I can use constellations that are easy to find to help find it, like Hydrus." He explained simply. I slowly nodded attempting to confirm to myself that I actually understood this.

"What's Hyrus?" I said puzzled.

"It's over to the left of Leo Minor, which is part of the chart." He pointed into the sky at what seemed like nothing specific and looked up at me.

"I've heard of Leo!" I exclaimed, "It's one of the horoscopes!"

"A what?" He said curiously, "I've never heard of those."

"Well, muggles don't usually study horoscopes, but they are just kind of fun! I'm pretty sure the Chinese made them." I smiled trying to think of how to explain it, "You see there are 12 horoscopes. They're all based off of a constellation. They have their own element and personality and everything based on the date of your birth." He nodded reassuringly. "For example, when is your birthday?"

"Mine's in June, the 5th of June." He answered.

"Early June I think might be Gemini." I said looking up as if into my brain to check and make sure. "I don't know the element or personality but the symbol is Twins." I stared into the sky looking for the constellation and then pointed it out to him. "See right in between Auriga and Cancer. 2 figures holding hands, twins!"

His eyes followed the tip of my finger and he smiled brightly, "What's yours?"

"I'm a Virgo." I spoke with a hint of disappointment in my voice. There wasn't anything special about mine, part of what made it fun was knowing what animal you were like of the 12 but mine was just a human. I searched for it in the sky then pointed it out. "See it's just a girl." It was silent for a moment as we both stared into the lit night sky.

"Hermione," He glanced back at me, "is there anything you miss about your muggle town or whatever it's called?"

This was a little out of character; Draco had never asked me about having a muggle family or what it was like. He always seemed like he had no interest in non-magic folk, sometimes he frowned upon it which still bothered me a little.

"Well my family of course," I responded at first then thought a little deeper, "but also something I miss a lot from home that Hogwarts doesn't have much is music." Another silent moment passed.

"Yeah, I've never really listened to music that much." Draco agreed.

"Exactly!" I exclaimed, "And it's really quite wonderful. It gets you to stop thinking almost, and just listen."

"What kind of music did you listen to?" He questioned still smiling.

"Lots of 80's, of course you wouldn't know what that means though." I sighed, "Every breath you take, Don't you forget about me, Still rock and roll to me, Bohemian Rhapsody. Nothing you've probably heard of." I thought for a moment and then walked over to grab something out of my bag.

"I actually brought something to listen to music on this year." I said shyly, "It's called an MP3 player. You put this thing in your ear," I stuck the left ear bud in my ear and sat down next to him, "and then you can listen."

He copied me and put the right ear bud in, "I don't hear anything?" He said confused.

"That's because it's not on goof." I laughed. I pressed on the power button and went through my play list.

"What's that one?" He said pointing to a song by Tom Petty. I selected it and we listened.

She's a good girl, Loves her Mama

Loves Jesus, and America too

"What's Jesus?" Draco shouted.

"Shhh!" I tittered.

She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis

Loves horses and her boyfriend too.

We listened to the whole song speechlessly then Draco picked another and another. I caught glimpses of Draco, an unclear expression on his face. After a couple of minutes we had listened to Landslide, Go your own way and a couple others.

"Well that's a lot better than Celestina Warbeck!" He said impressed. "I got to get me one of these!"

"I told you, music is just so wonderful!" I smiled at him.

"It's outstanding!" He shouted again, "And when you turn the music up so it's as loud as ever it almost feels like, like you're blocking out the world." He looked down shyly biting his lip.

"It's crazy how something can make you feel like that isn't it." I spoke softly trying to get him to look up. "So my muggle toys aren't all that useless?" I teased.

"Guess not Granger." He smiled back at me.

"Hate to bring this up Malfoy," I mentioned cautiously, "but do you still have something against mudbloods?"

"Granger don't call yourself that!" He yelled at me and I couldn't help but be startled.

"Excuse me!" I howled, "But don't you remember calling me mudblood every time you saw me?"

"Well, yeah, but that was different!" He came back at me.

"How?" I snickered.

"You wouldn't get it!" He yelled.

"Try me!" I smiled at him sarcastically.

"Fine, mudblood is the only thing that would get your attention!" Draco rushed his words, "Okay."

"Well yeah it was offensive!" I said more calmly.

"I said you wouldn't understand." He mumbled.

"Then tell me what I'm missing." I spoke gently.

"I used to like you okay, whatever." He blushed and when I took notice he turned his face and looked through his telescope. "My father told me that muggle borns were mudbloods. I teased you but you still didn't pay attention so I called you that and it got your attention on me, happy?"

I started blushing too. Had he really liked me? And if he did he wasn't really good at the whole flirting thing. He was more like the super annoying little boy that pulls on your pigtails.

"Um, thanks for being honest," I stuttered, "If it makes you feel better I'm glad that you never actually thought I was a mudblood."

He signed and looked over too me again and smiled, "No problem. And don't worry I'll never call you it again, but we should probably get back to our dormitories, it's like 11."

I checked the time on the MP3 player, it read 11:10 he was right, "Wait!" I grabbed his arm as he packed up his equipment, "It's almost 11:11!"

"Yeah it's a time?" He huffed puzzled. "So what?"

"In muggle land when it's 11:11 you make a wish." I said playfully, "Please."

He smiled and picked up his bag and stood beside me. We waited silently for what seemed like more than a minute. Then it flashed 11:11.

"Okay make a wish!" I whispered, "And don't tell me or it won't come true. Oh, and keep thinking about it until the minute is over!"

"Got it Granger." He chuckled.

I thought, squeezing my eyelids more aggressively the harder I thought. What should I wish for? I didn't really need anything. I was honestly perfectly happy. Maybe I could wish for someone else, I know! I forced the thought in my head for the remainder of the minute. I wish I will figure out why Draco's name is written in The Room of Many Faites.

I took a peek and saw my MP3 read 11:13.

"Oops," I mumbled, "Okay now we can go." Draco lightly opened his eyes and stared at me with his sad silvery blue eyes.

"Meet you next Thursday right?" I confirmed breaking from his stare. We hugged and headed up to our dormitories.
