5- Stargazing

"Viktor Krulm catches the Snitch! And- Oh Merlin! Ireland wins, ladies and gentlemen, this is an result no one could've predicted!" The announcer of the match yells over the field. Everyone cheers, except the Bulgarians, of course.

"Twenty minutes before midnight. Shall we?" Draco whispers in Skyler's ear. Skyler shivers for a moment, before nodding.

"Sure." She answers as they walk out.

"Draco, this is amazing! How did you- oh my gods!" Skyler exclaims as she looks at the night sky. There are constellations re-appearing. Constellations that weren't seen in the skies for at least two years.

"What? What's wrong?" Draco asks her, worried and confused.

"They're trying. I can't believe it. They're trying." She whispers, tears of joy in her eyes.

"Who is trying what, Sky?" Draco asks again, more confused. Skyler turns to him pointing at the sky.

"Those constellations... those are Asgardian ones. Which means, that they're trying to repair the Bifröst, which means that I can see my family again!" She explains, her voice jumping of happiness. Draco smirks, happy to know what's going on.

"You see the one next to Draco?" Skyler asks eagerly, wanting to show her knowledge with him.

"You're a constellation?" Draco teases, smirking widely. "That'd explain a lot." He adds whispering, his tone genuine.

"Haha. Very funny," she says sarcastically, "but I mean the Draco in the heavens. Do you see the one that seems to shine sunlight? That is Balder's constellation. He was killed thousands of years before I was born. He died in battle. The straight line of stars next to Balder's constellation, that is Forseti's. Balder's son. He was the God of Justice. Both father and son died in the same battle. It's a sad story." Skyler's smile fades a little.

"So, most of the stars are fallen Gods? Who look down on us, mortals?" Draco asks, staring at the sky suspiciously.

"No, there are eight stars that are other realms. And, by the way, there are only then constellations in this realm that represent Gods." Skyler laughs.

The two friends talk about the stars and the heavens for the next three hours. Skyler really enjoys telling Draco about her home. He's patient and a good listener.

"So... you're saying that Loki really gave birth to an eight legged horse?" Draco asks her, laughing like a maniac. Skyler laughs with him.

"Yes, it seems that I'm related to a horse. But I'm also related to a corpse, so don't judge! I love my family, even if I don't even know all the members of it."

"You're related to a corpse? How?" Draco asks confused.

"Loki was married, once, you know. To Sigyn, the Goddess of Loyalty. I've never known her, for she died two hundred years ago. But, Loki got three children with her, Narfi and Váli, twins. They're said to be banished to Anaheim, where Sigyn came from, after her death. And at last, Hel. She's the Goddess of Death, but she's dead herself too. Loki and Sigyn longed for a daughter, so when they got Hel, they were filled with happiness. But Hel was sick and dying. Nothing could safe her. So, for the sake of uLoki and Sigyn's happiness, Odin let her become a Goddess. The girl died, but lived still. My niece had to go to Valhalla, but once in a century, she visits Asgard. I think my family is full of sad stories..." Skyler tells him, wiping a tear from the corner of her eye.

"Think that's the reason Loki liked being around me. Because I remind him of his own daughter, and his wife." Draco nods, embracing Skyler with one arm.

"Don't be sad about it, Sky. Your grandfather did something beautiful. He gave Loki a chance to meet his daughter, instead of burying her before naming her." He says, calming her down.

"Thank yo-" Skyler is interrupted by screams of fear.

"THE DEATH EATERS!"
