The night had fallen without Pandora’s attention. She sat with her legs crossed on the barstool, trying to grasp a peaceful mind and read the book that she’d been neglecting. Though she didn’t seem to be getting anywhere far with it, her mind was occupied with other things, mainly her new interest concerning new and unidentified spells.
It was a practice that Pandora was intrigued by always having been well adapted to charms. Her mind needed a distraction and her parchment was full of ideas she was getting inspired from. Of course, her confidence was boosted when she enchanted the tea kettle to talk to her after performing endless hours for a spell that could animate inanimate objects. The problem now being that she was having issues inventing a spell that would reverse it. Pandora disliked coming home to her tea kettle spouting at her.
She heaved a defeated sigh and collected her things, noticing immediately the light had faded from the sky outside and it was now a dark canvas. It was a clear night and the night sky highlighted all the stars above. Pandora tilted her head against the brick wall and stared blankly at the stars above her.
“Beautiful aren’t they?” Pandora sighed, talking to no one in particular. “I’ve always been fascinated by how small we are in comparison.”
If anyone were to ask him what he was doing out so late at night, Peter would say that he was out for a walk. In some parts, it was true. The moon was shining bright in the sky overhead, the stars were twinkling and Peter Pettigrew was walking.
The darkness of nightfall was just starting to close over Godric’s Hollow and Peter was just about to shift into his rat form and disappear into said darkness, when he spotted a figure just ahead of him, leaning against one of the houses.
For a second he considered to try to slip away, but then the figure spoke up. He moved closer, nervous about who it was; he recognised that voice though and when he got close enough to make her out in the moonlight, his worries slipped away.
“ I suppose they are,” he said, taking a seat beside her. His other business would have to wait. “And some of us are smaller still.” He laughed at his own terrible joke, leaning back to look up at the stars above with Pandora. “Do you come out here often to watch the stars?”
