A/N:Today I have for you some Eponine/Combeferre while they are stargazing and Combeferre is just sharing random stuff about stars and Harry Potter where I don't have any particular knowledge of. So information here is totally based on Wikipedia.
Disclaimer: Nope, not owning Les Mis or Harry Potter for that matter.
Eponine sits in the grass between Combeferres legs. She leans against his chest, head on his shoulder whilst looking up to the sky. One of his arms is securely wrapped around her waist, his hand on hers. His other hand he uses to point things out. "Do you see that one? They call it Sirius and it's the brightest star in the night sky." He points in the direction of the horizon and just above it Eponine can, indeed, see it.
"The name reminds me of Harry Potter though..." She tells him after they've been silent for a while. Eponine doesn't have to look up to know Combeferres smile grows wider. "Yeah, the character Sirius is named after the star." He tells her. "You know how Sirius is the one who can change in to a big black dog? Well, the nickname of the star Sirius is 'the dog star'."
Of course this would be something Combeferre knows, she thinks. He's a nerd like that, a bookworm. She never read the books and she'd never seen the movies until Combeferre made her when they just started dating. Every date another one, Combeferre pointing out the differences between the book and the movie or telling her just little facts he knew about it. She had teased him about it, but secretly enjoyed how he knew stuff about practically everything. Whether it came to French philosophers, moths or fantasy books like Harry Potter, Combeferre could talk about it. Sometimes when he went on about random facts she liked to tease him, calling him her personal encyclopaedia.
"Why?" She asks, not even necessarily because she wants to know, but more so because she loves to listen to him talk. Enjolras might be the known for his speeches, it's Combeferre she actually likes to listen to. "There are several stories about that, but one of the most known stories is the Greek myth about Artemis. She killed her husband Orion by accident. It's something that makes Artemis incredibly sad so she decides to give Orion a place amongst the stars together with his beloved dog Sirius so she can still look upon them."
After his story they just sit together, enjoying each others company and the silence that comes with the night. Eponine basks in it for a little while. She loves to hear Combeferre talk, but she loves it even more that they can be so comfortable together in silence.
A/N: On another note, I've started posting my work on AO3 too. I'm getting the mistakes out that I find in my older pieces here first and after that they get posted on that website. For now only Wilting flower is up there, but the rest will follow shortly. If you want to find me there, it's not that hard since my username is almost the same: JJ91.
And besides that a question for you guys. I'm working on a new drabble for which I need an unisex name, so a name you can use for both girls and boys. I can't come up with anything particularly nice so I was wondering if any of you had a good idea. Please share and maybe you see the name you've thought of in one of the upcoming drabbles.
