i. Ursa Minor

     Orion left her common room with Cho and Marietta, a frown was plastered on her face, because she had to help Marietta looking for her robes for more than thirty minutes before they realised she hasn't unpacked them from her trunk. 

     When they entered the Great Hall, Orion immediately parted ways with them and went to the Slytherin table where Cassiopeia and Draco are seated instead. It was not necessarily uncommon to see Cassiopeia and Draco be the first ones on the breakfast table as they were always the ones that are up early.

     "Hey," Orion sat next to Cassiopeia who was sipping her pumpkin juice.

     "What? Not sitting with Potter?" Draco asked, lowering the newspaper he was just reading when he heard Orion.

     "Malfoy, please, it's not even eight yet, I don't have the energy to," Orion sighed.

     "To what?" Draco raised his left eyebrow.

     "To fight, to argue with you."

     "Who said we're going to fight or argue?" he challenged her.

     "Draco, stop," Cassiopeia lowered her pumpkin juice and begin to look for something between her books.

     "What? She chose Potter yesterday, might as well do it again today,"

     "What the hell are you on about, Malfoy?" Orion asked, genuinely curious about what Draco is trying to say, but instead of responding her, Draco decided to read his newspaper again, covering his face.

     "Here, new third-year course schedules," said Cassiopeia when she finally found the parchment she was looking for then passed them to the table, in front of Draco and Orion.

     "We have Divination first thing in the morning?" Draco asked, lowering his newspaper once again to take a peek at the schedule.

     "Yes, the class is at the top of North Tower, yeah?" Cassiopeia asked.

     "Yeah, might take us a while," Draco said while nodding. Not long after that Cepheus, Blaise, and Pansy got into the table at the same time. Cepheus sat beside Orion, while Pansy and Blaise took their seats beside Draco.

     "Hey, Mikaelson, I think Potter is trying to talk to you," Daphne Greengrass, one of the Slytherin girls from their year told her while pointing to the Gryffindor table. They all collectively turned to see what she pointed, the Gryffindor table is half full and they are all talking to each other. Harry, on the other hand, his eyes fixed on the Slytherin table, looking at Orion.

     "I'm going to Harry, okay?" Orion said to Cepheus and Cassiopeia. Draco scoffed when he saw Orion stood up, his eyes drifted to Cassiopeia's and he raised his eyebrows as if saying told you.

     "I just got here," Cepheus protested, holding Orion's hand to stop her.

     "I'll sit with you at Divination, okay?" Orion said before kissing Cepheus and Cassiopeia's cheek and proceeded to walk to the Gryffindor table.

     "Hey," Orion greeted all of them which they replied all the same time.

     "Come sit," said Fred while moving for a bit to give her room to sit.

     "What are you guys talking about?" asked Orion when suddenly a loud shout of laughter came from the Slytherin table. It was Draco, Pansy, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle, they all collectively made a ridiculous impression of fainting fit while some of them made impressions of the dementors. However, Cassiopeia, Cepheus, and Blaise just sat, a few meters from them, minding their own business chatting up with each other pretending not to acknowledge what their friends did.
