Aurora was quite fond of her common room, it had one of the best views in the whole castle, it was warm and inviting and she enjoyed the colour blue but boy was it a trek up and down the staircase every time she returned from lessons on one of the lower levels. That coupled with the fact that her closest friends were Hufflepuffs and Slytherins and therefore all the way in the basements made it just the slightest bit inconvenient. It wasn’t so bad when her sister Ariadne had been there too for she could bother her for attention and company but she didn’t seem to be so compatible with her fellow Eagles. She had nothing against them, she had tried her hardest to find things she had in common, but the truth was that she wasn’t the most Claw-like Claw. Reading was boring, studying would last a total of ten minutes before she’d need to get up and move about and there was nothing appealing about playing a game of Chess.

Instead of any of the above activities, the fourth year could be found sitting atop a large pillow she had borrowed from one of the sofas and placed on the floor over by the windows. In front of her was a pile of daisies she was weaving into one another to make the daisy chains she and Anna had started in Care of Magical Creatures. Unsatisfied with just making a flower crown for the Unicorns they had spotted in the forest, she had decided that each of the horses in the stables deserved their chance to feel beautiful too.
