Joyce looked up at the clear blue sky and sighed. They were leaving the next day for Hogwarts, and Joyce already missed being able to stay up all night and watch the starry night sky. She had heard about a Muggle artist, Vincent Van Gogh, who had made a painting of the night sky, and called it Starry starry night. Joyce yearned to see it, and vowed to admire it as an out-of-Hogwarts gift to herself.

"You missed the shooting star shower, I'm sorry," said a kind voice behind her. Swiveling, Joyce took in Remus's tired state. "It's all right, Remus. I'll catch it next time. How are you feeling?"

Remus smiled at the young woman. "Ah, I'm much better now that I've had some rest, thank you. Thanks for everything you did for me."

Joyce shook her head. "It was nothing, I would've done it anytime. Anyway," she feebly changed subject, "are you looking forward to going back to school?"

Remus's grin got bigger. "Oh, yeah; I'm thinking of applying for Defence Against the Dark Arts Teacher or Helper, after NEWTs." Joyce's mouth fell open.

"Seriously? I was thinking of applying as Astronomy Teacher or Helper! Imagine we both get in; we'd actually teach together!" she cried in delight, grabbing Remus's hands and jumping up and down. Remus laughed heartily. "Yes, that would be, um... how did you say... Ravenclawsome!" he said with a wink. Joyce blushed lightly and let go of Remus's hands. "Aw," she said to hide her embarrassment, "you're Gryffindorable!" which made Remus laugh harder than ever.
