Just don’t tell the other Ravenclaws that!” she giggled. She felt like they’d all judge her if she admitted that reading wasn’t her thing considering every time she stepped foot into the common room there were at least two students huddled up somewhere with a novel. “That’s a strange house name, it’s kinda scary. Why couldn’t they name it after Unicorns?” Or a Winged Horse.. or a Pygmy Puff. Something cute and fluffy.

Aurora would much prefer it be bright and sunny OR completely covered in snow rather than spooky but she supposed that it did add to the cool magical atmosphere. “I guess so but it’s not very helpful when you want to go for a walk and you can’t see where your feet are stepping.” For someone like Rora who could easily trip over her own two feet it just added an extra obstacle.

The thirteen year old reached to her left to pick the head off of a flower and draw it up to her nose for a quick sniff before tucking it somewhere in her braid. “I don’t really know why we call them Professors here either but it makes them sound important and professional and special so I don’t mind.” They deserved to be respected, at least in her opinion they did. “I wish we had cheerleaders! I’m not very good at flying but I’m good at cheering” she grinned. She was always peppy with a grin on her face.

"I don't find it boring at all. The great thing about reading is that you can choose whatever interests you the most and read about that. I like reading all kinds of different stories. And if you don't like what happens you can make up your own stories about what you think should have happened, or what the characters would be doing after the story ends. I like doing that too." But she did understand that reading wasn't everyone's favorite hobby, and she wasn't going to judge anyone for having different opinions. "You know, muggles have things called audiobooks. So they can listen to the story while doing something else. Maybe you'd like that. If the muggles can do it I'm sure wizards could with a spell or something." Now that she thought of it, she made a mental note to come back to that idea later.

"The four houses at Ilvermorny were named after the founders favorite animals. It's similar to Hogwarts in that way, except the houses are just named for the animal and not after the founder. The other four houses are Thunderbird, Wampus, and Pukwudgie." None of them were unicorns, but some of them were pretty cool animals.

She thought the point about it being too foggy to see in front of you was a good one, and she smiled. "I suppose that's true. It makes for good weather to stay indoors by a fire, though." But as she had discovered that Aurora enjoyed being outdoors, she could understand why the other girl might not like that. "You could always cheer from the sidelines even if Hogwarts doesn't have any official cheerleaders."
