It was interesting if she was, considering most of these kids were probably looking into magical careers. Bradley? He had no idea what he wanted to do with his life. "We live in a terrace in the middle of London" A slightly posher part as well. "Don't think the neighbours would appreciate it" he laughed slightly imagining their responses.
He watched as she waved goodbye to someone, glancing at the parents faces, some of them upset some of them proud. A part of him wanted his parents to stay and see him off but the boy had asked them to remain on the other side of the wall and that was where he had left them along with his younger sister. His thoughts were disturbed and his head snapped up as she continued to speak. "Yeah I've heard. There's a lake ain't there? And loads of land" Good for playing sports then if he were ever to get bored. Good job the football lay within his case. "I hope so. I'm already trailin' behind a bit, wanna catch up as much as possible." He didn't want to be seen as the stupid muggle kid that knew absolutely nothing.
He breathed a sigh of relief as she informed him that they weren't alive. Bradley shoved the rest of the sweet in his mouth and swallowed, trying to ignore the screaming that was coming from within. "It's a bit weird ain't it? Why would you have screamin' jelly babies?" To freak out the new muggleborn kids. Was that it?
Aurora shrugged,
"Maybe... I kind of want to be a potioneer though." But that might be too much like being her mother... though she did
love potions... Hmm...
"Well... I don't know. I have my grade eight music exam at Christmas... and I guess I'll just see how that goes." Even if she
did play professionally it would probably just be a spare-time thing... potions was her true calling... probably.
"We have a house in Roehampton..." she said.
"It's kinda on the edge of London. But we don't live there very often." Yet another reason why you could have too much money - it made your kids feel awkward around their friends. Thanks, stupid old money.
"Anyway, once you're seventeen you can just cast a spell to soundproof it!" she added, grinning. See, there was a magical solution to everything!
She turned away from the window as the platform disappeared completely.
"That was my brother..." she said absentmindedly, though he could probably tell by the hair.
"Probably getting himself into more trouble... Do you have any siblings?" she asked. Ah, the grounds...
"Yeah, it's lovely. And the Slytherin common room is under the lake! You can see into it through our windows." she told him - best not give too much away... what if he wasn't a snake?
"And there's the Quidditch pitch, and the forbidden forest, and all that stuff." But her favourite place was the courtyard - the acoustics were perfect for violin practice... and she couldn't wait to try out her new bow there.
"I'm sure you'll be fine. They wouldn't have let you in if you wouldn't be." she added.
"Well, why wouldn't you? It's funny." But probably not if you weren't used to it all...
"Wait 'till the food trolley comes past, I'll show you the chocolate frogs!" she said, grinning. Well, they were
cool! Even she thought so - and she was used to them!
