Well that was true. No one could positively say that there was no such thing as a Unicorn that pooped rainbows and if she wanted to believe as such then she was free to do so but there was also societal expectations that told her as a fourteen year old she should perhaps not be living so much in the clouds. But that was a future Aurora problem, for now she was going to continue to be excited about the most magical beasts she could think of. Not TOO excited though to the extent that she’d scare them off with her over-zealous squealing. There might be a few tears welling in her eyes however, the type that threatened whenever you saw something so impossibly cute that your body just reacts by bawling.

It was obviously a given that Aurora would be partnering with one of her favourite people by the tight grip she had on Anna’s arm when Brandon came over to ask to be partners. “We come as a two-for-one” she beamed proudly. If Brandon wanted her Bestie’s company then he was going to have to tolerate double sunshine and rainbows for the remainder of the lesson. It was also strange that Aurora had somehow guessed that the buddy system would be adopted without actually knowing as such. Perhaps she was secretly a Seer? She had no intention of pursuing Divination but maybe this was the universe's way of telling her that she could predict the future?!

Or more likely it was a coincidence.

She didn’t know Eliza too well but the young Slytherin received one of her trademark grins anyway, a welcome to the group type of introduction. She followed Anna’s arm swinging back and forth as if the rhythm they were generating was going to propel them forward through the forest at great speed.

Speaking of the forest, the Ravenclaw had not yet given thought to the dangerous creatures that lurked behind the tree line. Not because she was feeling particularly brave but more so that her mind was entirely focused on the positives rather than the negatives.
