Sirius stared at the parchment.

********************
It was two classes later.
"I am positive I aced that pre-exam."
Sirius claimed arrogantly to Remus. He smirked as his parchment was passed back to him.
"Says the person who called Earth a star."
Remus glanced at his paper. Sirius scowled.
"At least I didn't put the planet of Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterbourus."
Sirius retorted.
Remus frowned.
"Or Skaro."
Sirius added.
"I know."
"Or Alderaan."
"Yes, I get it."
"Or Tatooine."
"Enough already."
"Or Raxicoricophalapatorious. Where did you even get Raxicoricophalapatoriois? And Endor isn't a real moon."
"Yes, I know."
Remus said, vaguely annoyed.
"Didn't seem like you did."
Sirius commented.
"I'll remember next time that purebloods don't know about the fictional worlds. At least I put correct places as well."
Sirius scoffed.
"I'm still better at astronomy."
Remus rolled his eyes.
"Just because you were named after a star doesn't mean you're some great astrologer."
Sirius laughed.
"Oh please, the star was named after ME."
