Aurora would’ve loved to have had that theoretical mindset but that would involve concentrating for a long period of time and she needed to be on the go all the time. The more involved in a subject she could get the better. That wasn’t to say she didn’t enjoy learning and once she had her focus she could become a little obsessed with a concept. But sitting through an entirely theory based lesson did not sound like her idea of fun right now and the more she could move about (and chat) the better. “You’re a proper Ravenclaw!” she commented with a giggle. The stereotypical brain boxes who loved reading and studying and not the wild child who was curious about everything.

“Like a giant hot air charm bubble greenhouse.” Or there was likely a far more logical explanation but as explained logic wasn’t always her first though. Oh the irony.

Oh no! She obviously hadn’t experienced how harsh a winter it could be up in the Highlands of Scotland. “It snows.. a lot. I hope you’ve packed your scarf and gloves and hat and boots.” It had been quite a shock having lived and grown up in the relatively mild city climate of inner London. “But the castle is always cosy. The Elves light all the fires in our common rooms and there’s lots of blankets. Which is definitely a good thing seeing as Hogwarts is SO OLD.” Had they not been magical it was likely that the old stone walls, open archways and tall turrets wouldn’t do the best job at keeping the cold out.

“What’s Ilvermorny like? My Mom is half American but we don’t really go there very often. We went to Argentina this summer to go skiing though which is South America but that’s close enough, much closer than here anyway.” Not that poor Alissa had asked any of this information nor was it that relevant to the topic of conversation but Aurora’s mind worked at double speed and deviating subjects whilst talking was one of her specialities.
