Aurora, having a name so high alphabetically was one of the first newbies to sit down at the table and was more than happy to let her presence be known. Being shy and timid wasn’t in her nature, No she was bold and excitable and would probably grate on some of the students nerves with her enthusiasm for being at Hogwarts but that thought hadn’t even crossed her mind. Aurora was here to make friends and to learn to be a witch just like her mums. Not that Layla ever really used magic, she might as well have been a muggle really.

A much older student (Raj) greeted her and she beamed at him. “Thanks! It’s very exciting to be here” she giggled. It was in her opinion anyway. Her mums had said that if she really wanted to be in Ravenclaw then all she had to do was ask and the hat would listen. And listen it did. To be perfectly honest Aurora could’ve fit in any of the houses.. except maybe Slytherin. Not that there was anything against being a Slytherin, her uncle had been one after all and he was a cool, albeit a little serious Uncle.

The next student (Mouse) who spoke up confused her for a second. She glanced around the table wondering whether there was a student having a nap during the ceremony. There were a couple reading a book, one who seemed to want to be left alone with a scowl on his face (maybe best to not speak to that one) but none were asleep..

And then it dawned on her..

OHHHH.. SHE was Sleeping Beauty. A delighted giggle escaped her lips as she acknowledged the girl. “Like the Princess!” she grinned. There was a slight theme in the family with her mum being called Bambi. It was a good job that her older sister didn’t have a Disney themed name otherwise someone would’ve probably judged her mums for it.
