It was a good job that Aurora didn’t get seasick with the way that Solomon was swinging her side-to-side with his body tilt. She let out a giggle and untwined her arms before bouncing next to him and looping her arm with his. “How did you know I was here? Are you following me? Did you put a tracker on me?” she fake gasped. It wasn’t like it was that hard to spot the blonde despite what she lacked in height for she made up for her vertical challenge-ness in many other ways.

Mostly in her enthusiasm. EVERYTHING was exciting.

Back to the girl who Solomon was talking to. Aurora resisted the urge to touch her pretty red hair. She had a ‘thing’ about wanting to braid everyone’s locks and redheads looked particularly good with fishtails. But her sister had warned her that a lot of people didn’t appreciate her invading their personal space and so she’s have to make do with just looking at it instead.

“I get that urge to pet things too!” she grinned. Beasts, beings.. hair. It all looked so soft and touchable even when she knew they had a bite. “Hi Rowan! Yes I’m a Ravenclaw and I’ll be in third year and Solly is a fourth year and he’s a Slytherin but that’s okay we don’t hold it against him” she giggled, teasing her friend and leaning her body weight against his shoulder for a second. “Are you coming to Hogwarts too?! You ARE new yes? I’ve never seen you before and I pretty much know eeeeeeveryone.” That was a lie but Aurora did have a habit of latching onto older students even when they didn’t want her company and so HER perceived circle of friends was huge.

Whether it was reciprocated was an entirely different matter.

Then suddenly along came an adult and the thirteen year old blinked at him for a few moments before realising that he worked there and was offering his assistance. “I already have an owl. Her name is Flora and she’s a Little Owl.” Not that he had asked any of those questions.
