"And that one, dearie, is... Vampire-Feeding-On-Small-Child."

Hagrid's brows furrowed as he looked at the cluster of stars being pointed to. He leaned around the frail woman, looking at Professor Lupin. The werewolf just shrugged. He didn't know any better than Hagrid did. They were just three professors out to gaze at the stars on a moon-less night.

He knew some of the constellations Professor Drusilla pointed out were NOT correct. Professor Sinistra would have a fit if she ever saw anyone pointing to Ursa Major and calling it Dead-Woman-With-Her-Throat-Ripped-Out. Didn't matter though. He and Hagrid were the only other professors who weren't frightened of the new Divination professor. Not to say they weren't still cautious around her, but they treated her politely and didn't roll their eyes or scowl when she got a little cryptic.

"Oooo, there he is. That one's called William the Bloody."

She was pointing at Orion.

"Oh?" Hagrid asked.

"That's my Spike. My effulgent darling."

"I'm jealous, I think." Remus murmured.

"Oh don't be, luv. One day there will be wolves in the stars, and they'll call one Remus for you, dearie."

Remus glanced at her. She was smiling at him. Yes. Liking the new professor.
