He looked at Aurora just in time to see the enthusiasm fade from her face. "I can sense things well. In case you forgot." Mordred replied. He looked on as he observed Aurora if she was in the mood to open up to him. "We have a long train ride to endure. Nonetheless, I have the whole day to listen to your story." he said with a grin. "How was your year?" he asked as he lifted his feet up and rested it on the seat across him.
She nodded,
"Yeah, I guess..." did she really want to talk about it? She didn't know, but she might as well give it a go, it might help.
She wrapped her arms around her legs and took a deep breath. Opening up was hard for her, it made her vulnerable and she didn't like that.
"Well, the school year's been great. You know... I won a trophy for that lagoon thing and learnt some pretty awesome jinxes and stuff... but it's been difficult to enjoy it all."
She took another deep breath,
"My brother's still at ST Mungo's and they don't know if he's going to survive." Tears were coming to her eyes again, she didn't even care.
"And my parents are fighting a lot apparently and my sister said Mother tried to curse Father and I... I don't think I can cope with that. My parents have always been so close." she dug in the pocket of her robes for a handkerchief as the first tears began to escape her eyes.
"And my best friend from back in Germany has been returning all my letters and I don't know what I've done, she was really angry when I had to leave to come here but it's not my fault and I... I just don't understand." Aurora buried her face in her knees, the knuckles on her hands were turning white from tensing so much as she hugged her legs. All she wanted was for things to be okay.
"And all I wanted was one happy celebration to try and lift my spirits and that Jimbo Farley had to go ahead and ruin that too!" she mumbled into her legs.
