Aurora had been lucky enough in the sense that she hadn’t yet met anyone that was grumpy and mean. Some of the older students may have been a little standoffish and unapproachable but the Ravenclaw was confident enough, and perhaps annoying enough, that she would approach them anyway. Her Ma had certainly been one of those grumpy students and Aurora knew that secretly she was a big teddy bear even if she didn’t outwardly show it. “I haven’t met anyone mean yet!” She’d heard rumours that maybe some of the Slytherin’s weren’t that nice but she didn’t believe in stereotypes anyway. “Even the Professors are really nice.” Aurora WAS a very well-behaved and enthusiastic student though so she hadn’t actually given anyone a reason to be mean to her. And anyway, even if someone WAS cruel to her, the Blonde was lucky enough to have an older sibling in the school who would protect her at all costs. They might have been a family of all blondes but they were a force to be reckoned with!

The eleven year old couldn’t ever remember whether she had collected lots of Acorns when she was younger but she supposed it could be possible. “We do live near a big park” she pondered. It was one of those central London parks where the squirrels were super tame because of all the visitors around and the kids used to play in the park all the time when they were growing up. As for whether there were any more blondes in her family, that received a giggle. “ALL of us are blonde! My Mom and my Ma and my big sister Ariadne.” AND her grandma on her Ma’s side Vera and her older cousins Felix and Honey AND her Ma’s cousins Sammy, Suri and Suki. There was a LOT of blonde’s in the Ackerly family but she had never thought to ask whether they had ever been the target of a vicious acorn assault.

Aurora was proud of the fact that she was good at remembering names so she was quite sure that she hadn’t met Vera’s twin brother yet nor could she recollect seeing a boy that looked like her. “There’s a lot of boys in the Common Room sometimes.” Boys that the eleven-year-old didn’t often pay attention to. “But if I see him, I’ll say hi.” Vera was right in her thoughts that Aurora was much more sociable than your average Claw. “My whole family are Ravenclaws!” which made it an extra special house in her opinion.

A write up on her wand would be useful but once again she probably wouldn’t have paid that much attention to it. “It’s amazing! There are horses in the stables and the grounds are really pretty but the castle is kinda dark and scary sometimes. It could do with some PINK!” Or just colour in general but Aurora’s favourite was pink and therefore was the appropriate colour scheme in her opinion. Perhaps she SHOULD have gone to Beauxbatons instead but Hogwarts was where she wanted to be.
