mr lestrange the vastly more intelligent than i?

we have to write nine inches on a constellation this week and i do not want to write one on leo because it is too obvious and i am sure all the other gryffindors will choose it anyhow.

can you come up to the astronomy tower with me and help me choose one and then do research?

i would be very...

Miss Black the Elder is infinitely more skilled at Astronomy than I am, however I am amenable to following your ideas and offering guidance.

narcissa is studying for her newts and has no time to help me with "rudimentary astronomy."

besides, i think i would prefer your assistance to hers. she enjoys that class far too much and would probably make me learn too much.

the problem is that i have no ideas. constellations are boring. everyone in my family seems to have one. and i do not want to do an essay on any of them.

so that leaves out taurus, scorpio, orion, canis major, et cetera.

perhaps i should make one up.

Miss Black the Elder needs to learn a touch more patience, I believe, and a touch more trust.

And a moiety of self restraint.

And given that you refuse to take any constellation which is already wedded to a Black, that still leaves you a good amount of the cosmos.

she is just being protective of me. i am her favourite person, you know.

it is a shame she has no connection to a constellation, or i would consider that one.

why do we not have classes on myth? i could fill scrolls.

the cosmos is tiresome. it is full of dogs and virgins and swans and bears.

the sky is a zoo. why should i care?

are you sure you do not to come up and look with me?

why did we all have to be named for sodding stars anyway.

at least mines brightest!!
