It wouldn’t have really bothered her whoever came to join her but the fact that it was her fellow second year (and someone she would classify as a friend whether he agreed or not) did bring a huge smile to her face. “Hi Regulus!” She giggled swinging her legs back and forth which couldn’t quite reach the floor thanks to her diminutive height. She was hoping that this summer, the summer she finally hit her teenage years, would be the time her height caught up with the genetics that her Mom and sister had.

If Aurora’s experience was anything to go by, it wasn’t that much warmer down south than it was up in Scotland where the school was located. Although to be honest she hadn’t really taken the time out to think about it either. Her family often spent part of the summer somewhere abroad, typically in the warm isles of Greece where the temperature could become unbearable at times but this year would be entirely different with a planned skiing holiday in the Andes. “It’s probably raining in London” she replied simply. It seemed like it was always raining even in the height of summer. “I made sure to keep my coat on me.. and my sunglasses.” Just in case. It WAS England after all and there was potential to experience all the seasons in one twenty-four hour period. What she hadn’t prepared for however was snow, she was hoping that there wouldn’t be an unseasonable blizzard in the middle of the city.

“Where does your family live?” She lived not far from the station at all in Shoreditch. Others she imagined were spread all over the UK and therefore had a little further to go. Not that distance exactly mattered to the Wizarding community at all considering how easy it was to just *pop* away and appear somewhere different.
