The war was over, and people were gradually piecing their lives back together. It took time, but eventually, students whose education had been interrupted by the conflict were given the chance to return and complete their studies.

You were among those returning, but the castle was filled with echoes of your past with Draco, your boyfriend who had tragically died during the war. The memories were so vivid that even being in the Slytherin Common Room, where you had shared countless moments with him and your friends, felt almost unbearable.

The silent glances from old friends, now seemingly distant, added to the weight you carried. The common room, once a sanctuary, had become a reminder of what you had lost. Seeking a reprieve from the oppressive atmosphere, you decided to escape to the Astronomy Tower, a place where you and Draco had spent many evenings stargazing.

The Astronomy Tower, with its expansive view of the night sky, had always been a special retreat for you and Draco. You would spend hours there, his hand in yours, as you traced constellations and whispered dreams of the future. Tonight, you found yourself searching for his constellation, hoping to feel a connection to him once more.

Just as you were lost in thought, a noise broke the silence. Turning around, you saw Mattheo standing there. He had come to the Astronomy Tower to find you, his concern evident in his eyes.

"I thought I might find you here," Mattheo said softly, his voice gentle as he approached you. "I wanted to make sure you’re okay."
