Faith hated stakeouts. So damn boring, she thought moodily. Here she sat, in the middle of the night, outside some cottage in the middle of fucking-nowhere Britian. Worse yet, she was stuck babysitting this pipsqueak with a wand and a badge. Their subject had been asleep for hours and would be for hours more, judging by the snoring.

Well at least it isn’t raining, she thought, looking skyward.

"The stars are lovely tonight, yes?" he said softly.

"Uh, Yeah. They’re very..." she searched for a word, "starry."

"I’ve taken a bit of astronomy." He pointed at a cluster of stars. "There’s Sagittarius, the archer."

"Looks like a teapot to me."

"It does but see his bow, pointed right at Scorpius?" he warmed to his topic, leaning closer. "And that's Antares, that red star. It’s called the heart of the scorpion. And that -"

"Blaise?" She wiggled experimentally. Why you little… "Are you trying to cop a feel?"

Silence.

"You know, you being an Auror isn’t going to stop me from shoving that wand so far up your ass, you’ll be sneezing toothpicks for a month, comprende?"

The offending hand disappeared.

"Better. So, tell me more about this kick-ass archer dude..."
