Thank you. I have the image of wishing=kissing (though on that train they'd probably close their eyes soon...)

Ah, this would be a fun drabble for Dumbledore! "Gellert frowned at the twinkle in Albus' eyes- he hated that, he always had. But now it dawned upon him what that might mean, and exactly how to use, abuse (what's the difference?) that newfound knowledge." But that has nothing to do with HG, so oh well. :)

Yeah, I know the feeling, I'm stuck too but not because I don't have an idea it's just I don't like it very much HA! I like the drabble, I guess star put the same kind of image in everyone. I especially liked the title because it complements the story really well.

Yeah, same here. Star was such a general idea... there are so many ways to use stars- wishing upon them, you're my star, starring the newspapers, etc. And as I looked through and commented on the responses, I realized there's not that much wiggle room and it was hard to find something that seemed MINE rather than a rewriting of someone/everyone else's drabble. In the end, it's a strange simplification/extrapolation of the cumulative connotations of star that I settled with, and it satisfies me.

The title, as I mentioned before, is the line of a song, and when I re-evaluated the prompt (i. e. "Okay I have to start writing again because I'm shamefully behind") the song popped into my head and it just felt beautiful and I had it.

"I've been thinking 'bout everyone/everyone, you look so lonely..."

I've never heard of the band, but I'll be sure to check it out.

Oh, wow. I didn't even think that this might have been how they got together- I usually don't consciously deviate from canon. I originally pictured it as perhaps a first reunion after the war. It fits as long as it's meeting of sorts, a newer connection.

Apparently I now have written an alternate beginning of their relationship. How exciting!

Thank you for your interpretation!
