" Have you ever ridden a broom?" asked James as he stood beside the old brown broomstick, Hogwarts provided for their first years.
Sirius smirked ruffling Aurora's black waves, " Of course we have, uncle Alphard taught us," Aurora smiled weakly at the boys before turning over to Madam Pink, the quidditch coach.
" You haven't spoken of him before," inquired Remus raising a brow at the two youngest Blacks.
" Have we not?" Aurora chuckled doing what was instructed by Madam Pink. Both Sirius and Aurora hadn't spoken much of their family unlike Peter, Remus, or James. The two had plenty to say about the notorious pureblood family. For Sirius spoke of all bad and forgetting the good. While Aurora spoke of good, and forget all bad." Uncle Alphard isn't like our parents," Sirius said with a bitter smile.
" Look it's Lestrange," Aurora beamed. Waving at the tall long haired blonde, the blonde sheepishly mumbled a ' Hello' before looking back at the front towards Madam Pink.
" Stick out your right hand over your broom," called Madam Pink at the front, " and say 'Up!"
" UP!" everyone shouted.
Auroras, Sirius, and James's broom jumped into their hands at once, but it was the few that did. James arrogantly smirked, winking at Aurora who happened to catch his eye.
" Say ' UP' with confidence Peter," the girl explained, watching how her friend's broom rolled around the floor. " It's not gonna hurt you, mate."
Madam Pink then showed them how to mount their brooms without sliding off the end, while walking up and down the rows correcting their grips.
" Now, when I blow my whistle, you kick off from the ground hard," said Madam Pink. " Keep your brooms steady, rise a few feet, and then come straight back down by leaning forward slightly.
On my whistle - three - two - one"The five flew up into the air, James and Sirius went off cheering. Remus, nervously held onto his broom not wanting to fall to the ground, Peter stuck to Aurora's side having trust that she'd catch him if he fell.
" Relax Remus," chuckled Aurora seeing how tense her friend looked. " It'll be much more fun."
" Dawn!"
Yelled the blonde Ravenclaw, speeding over towards the three. Remus cocked a brow, not knowing anyone named Dawn, Peter looked just as confused as his scar-faced friend, leaving Peter and Remus behind. The black-haired witch speed toward the middle meeting the golden haired Ravenclaw.
" Dorie!" Aurora shouted back, waving excitedly at the blonde though still maintaining her balance.
" Blue and bronze suits you well, Pandora."" My parents had a fit, though I'm sure it wasn't as bad as your folks," Pandora sniggered finally reaching her black-haired friend.
