Aurora had always been a big fan of animals and so it came naturally that she would enjoy Care of Magical Creatures a lot. It had blown her mind that there were winged horses in the stables so every new lesson had been a real eye opener. It was therefore no surprise that she had a little bounce in her step as she walked her way out the castle and into the grounds.

Grateful that it was relatively warm for March in rural Scotland and she could therefore be comfortable in just her school jumper over her uniform and she didn’t have to traipse around in her robes. Her blonde hair was tied neatly into rope braid pigtails on either side of her head and her sleeves rolled up ready to get her hands dirty which inevitably in this class they would do. She arrived just as the professor was explaining to the few students that had gathered that they could grab a mat instead of sitting on the grass. She did so, picking up purple mat and plopping herself in amongst a group of students. Her eyes glanced over towards the dome which she couldn’t see inside yet, wondering what fascinating creature could be hidden inside.

She glanced to her left to see Brandon stood up by himself and patted the empty space to her side. “Come sit with me, Brandon!” She beamed. No point in standing around by yourself, was there? The Professor also got a friendly little wave for a greeting.
