I tried to focus on preparing myself to help Draco but I couldn't. He had gotten out his work and silently started on it. I was just waiting until he needed some help. I got my textbooks out from my bag in case I needed a reference but my eyes kept betraying me. I couldn't help myself from looking to the window. I would just observe how Narcissa would move. Whenever I caught myself, I would make myself look back at Draco and his work. But as I was looking out of the window and before I realized what I was doing, I saw Narcissa stand. I hadn't processed what was happening until she turned towards the window and saw my gaze. The moment she smiled at me is when I processed what was happening. She caught me watching her. My cheeks got hot and I looked back to Draco's work. He was still working just fine, I couldn't see any errors from where I was sitting.
I felt eyes on me and I know it wasn't Lucius because no one was trying to get into my head. I wasn't thinking when I looked back up to the window. I saw Narcissa still standing and looking at me. My eyes finally rolled over her to take in her outfit. I hadn't seen her in such bright colors yet. She was wearing white jean capris, though they were slightly dirtied from being in the garden. Her top was a light blue button-down that had the extra fabric tied in a knot just above the waistline of her jeans. I could see the top of a white undershirt peeking out from the top of the shirt. When my eyes finally met her face I knew that she saw me looking her over. She was smiling at me and I involuntarily smiled back.
From my peripheral, I saw Draco look up from his parchment. His mouth slightly opened to speak before noticing my smile. He furrowed his brows and looked from me to where my gaze was. He saw that I was looking at his mother and he then looked back at me, he had an even more confused face.
"Y/n? Are you alright?" Draco looked up at me and I cleared my throat.
I broke out of my usual trance to look back at him.
"Do you have any questions?"
"I have many." His face hadn't changed. "Anyways, I think I'm done with my transfigurations work."
"Oh okay. Let me see it." I held my hand out for his parchment.
I looked at it. It was all complete and looked all correct to me.
"Great job Draco. Now astronomy, you said?" He nodded and started to get out his work.
I look back to the window but I frowned when I didn't see Narcissa out there anymore. I decided that I should just put 100% of my focus on Draco, that is why I am here after all.
"Y/n?"
"Yes, Draco?"
"This part about the Solstices, I don't get it." He held up his work.
"You're already on Solstices? Weren't you just on identifying the constellations?" He nodded again.
"Okay, um. What's the question?"
"What's the difference between solstices and the equinox's?" I was not quite expecting that question to come from him.
"Well, an equinox occurs during spring and autumn while the solstices signify the summer and winter seasons. However, they both occur twice a year."
"So they don't have anything to do with day or night?" These questions should be able to be answered in class.
"Not directly. Day and night happen when Earth does a rotation in 24 hours while a year is the Earth's rotation around the sun. One full rotation around the sun is one full year." He nodded as if he understood me but he still looked confused. "Is that all?" I asked.
"Yeah, that's all for the classes."
"For the classes? Do you have any other questions?"
"Just one, what was going on a couple of minutes ago?"
