it had started out innocently enough. hogwarts students in every house were discussing the cosmic event that was about to visit them, planning on viewing parties atop the astronomy tower, or out on the grounds with blankets spread out to lay side by side on. davos, lover of all things astronomy, was particularly interested in the event; not for the wish, per say, but to see the stars shoot across the sky. it was the main reason why he’d agreed to be one of the many people sprawled out on the grounds, shoulders digging into the plush blanket that callum wesley – davos’ sort-of-boyfriend and fellow slytherin seventh year – had spread out for them. even with his cloak drawn tight across his shoulders, davos could feel the chill settling in. before they knew it, winter would be upon them.
with his head tilted back, eyes focused on the horizon, davos didn’t even roll his eyes when callum ( sap that he was ) reached over and threaded their fingers together. as the stars shot out across the sky, he hapharardly thought that the only way the night could be any better would have been if he’d had one of his favorite muggle treats; pop-tarts.
when he went to bed that night, he thought nothing of it.
it’s not like it was a wish. WAS IT?
when davos woke up the next morning, it was to something heavy hitting him in the face. “ ouch” he groaned, rubbing at his head. beside him, callum was grumbling and fumbling for his wand. if they were being attacked, at least someone was thinking. “ lumos ! “ callum’s wand flooded the area with light, davos’ eyebrows shooting upwards comically as he cackled. “ oh my god. it’s a fucking pop-tart.” he picked up the package, examining the foil wrapper. yep, they were pop-tarts. his favorite, too. he grinned. “ fuckin’ a.” callum blinked at him blearily before putting his wand out, reaching for his pants and heading back to his own four poster. davos shrugged; more room for him to stretch out.
the rest of the morning passed without much consequence. he found another package in his bag in between classes, a smile on his face as he shook his head in amusement. when another turned up in his cauldron during potions, same thing. when three more turned up at the slytherin table at lunch, and half a dozen were spilling out of his robes when he put them on, he was starting to get irritated. he loved pop-tarts, but this was excessive. spotting a familiar face, davos flagged them down - desperation in his eyes. “ i need your help.”

there was such BUZZ surrounding the cosmic event that was due to happen later that night. everyone in ravenclaw tower would not stop talking about the event. the astronomy club arranged for a viewing party and there was no doubt the student body of hogwarts would be in attendance. a meteor shower in itself was a spectacle. irene hummed to herself as she climbed the steps to the astronomy tower. she made sure to get there early enough to get a good spot for her and her friends.
she stared off into the horizon, the ambient noise surrounding her was soon blocked off as she admired the shooting stars. a small grin graced her features. before the conclusion of the event, her mind wandered to her family. she always thought that her mother was there for her more than her father. then again, with her father being a VAMPIRE it made things a bit difficult. but it didn’t mean that he shouldn’t put in any less effort. it frustrated her.
she just wished that he could be around more. but she really didn’t think much of it. it was something she knew was never going to come true.
back in the safety of the tower, she drifted off to sleep.
the next morning, she awoke. she hummed to herself, everything seemed normal. so she went on with her day. first attending potions, attempting her luck at brewing felix felicis. and then lunch, she received an owl. how odd ? nonetheless, she opened it. it was from her father, weird. he never sent her letters. but this one was different. he was reaching out for the first time. he actually wants to spend time with her ? huh. and he was planning to come to hogsmeade ? yikes.
before she could even think about writing back to her father, she was stopped by davos. with the trial of what she assumed to be muggle treats, she gave a questionable look at the slytherin.
“ umm . . . how can i help you ? ”
