Draco folded the letter again and smiled. Astoria leaned her head on his shoulder and looked out at the sunset. The sky was painted with violet streaks and the peace was so vibrant, the air was so tranquil, and the wind tasted of forgotten summer nights.

"Except for Astronomy, you mean."

"But that doesn't really matter, does it? I mean, did you learn anything useful there?"

"Guess not."

Silence returned, and suddenly stars were appearing from everywhere, like flowers that were opening their petals for the first time.

"I learned one thing, though," Draco said, turning his head so he reached Astoria's cheekbone with his lips.

"What?"

"That you and I were set in the stars."
