Well that was an utterly ridiculous statement and Solly only needed to look at Aurora’s grades to understand that there was a LOT that she wasn’t good at. “That’s silly. I failed Astronomy but I still appreciate it and I’m terrible at flying but I still think that watching people play is entertaining.” He wasn’t alone in that sentiment, Aurora too was awful on the broom and had dropped flying the second she was able to.

The Ravenclaws expression had been somewhat restrained for the early part of their conversation but the face pulling had drawn out a soft and genuine giggle that lasted a brief few moments. “It’s a great face” she complimented him.

This was exactly why she DIDN’T want to ‘talk’ about anything and why the blonde often spent her time masking any feelings that she was having with the huge smile on her face. If Solomon was feeling uncomfortable then the squirm that she did, a sort of shift away from the Slytherin and an immediate drop of the head like a crup that was being scolded by her owner, was evidence enough that she was feeling rather out-of-sorts herself. “It’s not.. I’m not..” she started, suddenly losing the ability to string together a sentence without the threat of tears infiltrating her eyes. She HATED people being mad at her, she despised upsetting people or being the reason they had a frown on their face. “You just.. you could’ve told us.” Her voice came out small and croaky. “I thought we were in this together.”
