Aurora preferred the anchor explanation that Zara had given, however it did make her wonder how exactly the Professor had got ahold of so many in the first place. “How many pirate ships do you think are under the lake?” She knew that sailing a ship on the lake was possible (although the logistics of that were lost on the Ravenclaw) as the Durmstrang students had once brought their ship but she hadn’t heard of that many pirate invasions at the school. Zara being a Slytherin would have the perfect view from her common room window if there were shipwrecks beneath the surface though. If the answer was that they did exist, she couldn’t wait to tell Anna later and plan their attempt at descending to explore.

She was disappointed to learn that there wasn’t an anchor weighing down her box however what WAS hidden underneath was a rather cute unicorn plushie that would find its way onto her pillow tonight. As tempting as it was to reach her way in and grab it out, the blonde managed to restrain herself enough to perform the spell albeit a little over-eagerly. “Plumavis.” Her wand waved in that little bump of a wave pattern Feirgrund had demonstrated. Quickly followed by the next spell. “Wingardium Leviosa.” And a swish and a flick as the chubby little plushy floated into the air with ease.

A little too much ease as it levitated continuously up to the ceiling.
