Ascendio: used to lift the caster high into the air

~Lumos~

~The constellation helped the world heal every night from the burns the sun would bring. But, something was wrong. This one and only constellation seemed to lose hope. Just like our two constellations did, was it dying too?~


Ara arrived at her dorm, already depressed from the ugly toad.

Dolores Umbridge, worse than Voldemort by far.

She was praying to all the gods to save everyone from that woman's fake giggles.

Ugh, Bleugh, Ew, and many more disgusting sounds were heard when she giggled.

Especially in their first class with her.

Harry had gotten detention along with Ara for standing up to the lies Umbridge were feeding.

Draco was not at all happy at the fact that his-

...his fiance? erm, friend?

His friend had gotten detention in the first week back already and was sulking in the Slytherin common room. 

"Cheer up, ferret." Pansy Parkinson called out from her chair where she was reading a romance novel.

"Shut up Pansy. It's not like your friend is in detention with a boy she might fall in love with." Draco scoffed.

"Ooohhh jealous Malfoy? I mean Parker is a fine looking gal, but relax. She looks like a lovesick puppy when you don't glance at her, Potter should be your last worries."


Draco informed Pansy everything during the Yule Ball while they were sulking over their interests. Pansy gloomily and accidentally informed Draco her crush over Astoria Greengrass, while Draco blurted his bond cravings towards Ara. Perfect time to explain everything while they were dancing. 

Pansy realized she preferred girls over boys ever since she could differentiate between a boy and a girl. It was a lot easier to understand a girl when you yourself were one. Sadly, all of Pansy's interests were as boy crazy as they could get.

"Nice choice Malfoy. I used to like Parker during our second year, but then Greengrass came along, and I'm head over heels in love with her." Was how their conversation ended that night.


"That's only because of the bond, she could be in love with him for all I care," Draco whined.

"Hmm, she seems less interested in him than last year."

"Really?"

"Shut up Malfoy."

"What? They're going to be in the same room for god knows how long and what if something happens. Oh no, what if Potter slips in a love potion and Ara is in love with him?"

"Shut up Malfoy, are you really listening to yourself?"
