But then you had the cats like her Ma’s cat Darcy and obviously Kanga who wanted fusses all the time. Aurora loved them all the same, it was just a shame that not all cats reciprocated that love. She reached down to tickle underneath the cats chin and then stroke her head a few times. She patted her lap, hoping that Kanga might like to have even more cuddles.

The other girl settled in a seat and Aurora packed away her homework deciding that this was definitely not the occasion to do it and that she would attempt it again later that evening. Maybe she’d even ask her sister for help too although she feared that Ariadne might find it annoying to be disturbed from her own OWL preps. “It’s amazing!” She grinned. “Did you know there’s winged horses in the stables?” Because to the animal crazy eleven year old that was clearly the most exciting thing about the school. It was also a stupid question because obviously a fifth year would know everything about Hogwarts.
