It was so dark still that the stars were twinkling overhead and the sky hadn't yet turned to the pale and shadowed greys that indicated the coming of the sun. Morag shivered a little, tugging the sleeves of her oversized jumper over her chilly fingers as she circled the thermos she carried in her hands. She wondered whether or not Remus would actually come--given that he had so many friends to celebrate with, it seemed a little odd that he would choose her to mark that occasion.
Then again, she reminded herself, he was running errands. And she was another of those.
She did a little double-step in place outside the Leaky. If she waited a little longer, she knew, she'd see the staff start to stir, coming in around dawn to prep food for the day. Walking this early in the day was a common habit for her. She liked the solitude of it--there were times when she still played pretend games with herself as if she was a child and imagining that she was the only person left in the world and that it was her job to recreate it. Those games had changed but she still found herself playing them from time to time.
She tipped her head up, looking at the constellations slowly starting to fade overhead. Confident that she was alone, she lifted her hand, tracing one of them with her finger. First, she drew the path of Ursa Minor, then hesitated, trying to remember the others as her eyes searched for the brightest star.
