"eyes had gone sliver. No- more like flames. Sliver flames."

AURORA WAS GOING to kill Draco Malfoy. Her snobby, spoilt cousin was going to die. Then his father would be next in line. Maybe I'll join my dad in Azkaban...she thought to herself.

"He – he sent me this," Hermione said, hold​ing out the let​ter.

Aurora took it. The parch​ment was damp, and enormous teardrops had smudged the ink so bad​ly in places that it was very dif​fi​cult to read.

"They can't do this," Har​ry said. "They can't. Buckbeak isn't dangerous."

"Mal​foy's dad's fright​ened the Com​mit​tee in​to it," Hermione said, wiping her eyes. "You know what he's like. They're a bunch of doddery old fools, and they were scared. There'll be an ap​peal, though, there al​ways is. On​ly I can't see any hope ... noth​ing will have changed."

"Yeah, it will," Ron said fierce​ly. "You won't have to do all the work alone this time, Hermione. I'll help."

"Oh, Ron!" Hermione flung her arms around Ron's neck and broke down com​plete​ly. Ron, look​ing quite ter​ri​fied, pat​ted her very awkward​ly on the top of the head. Aurora smiled at the two. Aurora hoped that Ron would grow up and apologise to Hermione. If he did, then Aurora would go back to being nice to him. Fi​nal​ly, Hermione drew away.

"Ron, I'm re​al​ly, re​al​ly sor​ry about Scab​bers ..." she sobbed. Aurora face dropped. She wasn't suppose to say sorry!! Aurora thought to herself.

"Oh – well – he was old," Ron said, look​ing thoroughly re​lieved that she had let go of him. "And he was a bit use​less. You nev​er know, Mum and Dad might get me an owl now."

Aurora stared at the two. "Are you guys serious? Ron-" Harry nudge Aurora in the ribs making her turn her head angrily at Harry. Harry gave her a look to shut her mouth and let the two become friends again. Aurora turned her head to Hermione and Ron who clearly was ignoring her. Aurora sighed at the two. One day she will finish her sentence. One day.

The safe​ty mea​sures im​posed on the stu​dents since Black's sec​ond break-​in made it im​pos​si​ble for Aurora, Harry, Ron and Hermione to go and vis​it Hagrid in the evenings. Their on​ly chance of talk​ing to him was dur​ing Care of Mag​ical Crea​tures lessons. He seemed numb with shock at the ver​dict.
