Aurora thankfully didn’t have to wait long before a friend joined her to prevent her from having to tag along to one of the older students friendship groups like a probably annoying little limpet. Brandon got a huge grin in response to his arrival and a link of the arms from the blonde to show that they would be working together today even if the activity didn’t call for working in pairs. Rora was one of those children who absolutely hated being by herself and didn’t understand the concept that others actually enjoyed alone time. She was about to start talking to Brandon when the class was hushed for the lesson to begin.

Ooooooh. Big pretty tree was actually big pretty scary tree.

What was it with Hogwarts and trees that wanted to harm you? First there was the Whomping Willow and now this tree that judging by the other students answers was equally as dangerous. Of course being a naive little twelve year old Aurora had never actually heard of a Sandbox tree but the name did fascinate her. She raised her hand being the curious little kid that she was to ask a question. “Professor, why is it called a Sandbox tree if it’s that dangerous? Because Sandboxes are where little kids play to make sandcastles and you wouldn’t want a scary tree in a playground?” Perfectly reasonable question in her opinion.
