· · ─────── · ༒ · ─────── · · CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO ❝The Best of Denialism ❞
December arrived, bringing with it more snow and a positive avalanche of homework for the fifth-years. Aurora was swamped and drowning in her classwork as Christmas approached. She'd been far too busy to the point she had little to no time for any hangouts with either one of her friends. Not unless they were study dates.
The lack of time explained the lack of communication in her relationship with Theodore. Aurora wasn't even sure if it was due to the homework they had or the situation he always found himself in. Though, she'd like to believe it was because of the homework. After all, he had already assured her that he and Phoebe had come to an agreement. Theodore also stated that his father believed a false story that he'd come up with to cover up their relationship. Still, it didn't explain why Theodore only always said "good morning" and "good night" to her on the daily.
It didn't matter though. Once the holidays would commence, Aurora would get as much time to spend with Theodore and her friends. She knew she would. It was just a matter of asking her grandfather, Francis. He wasn't one to deny her requests, especially if he knew how much she cared about them.
Aurora had it all planned out — she'd spend the first couple of days with the Weasleys and Harry, she'd then pay a visit to Hannah and Ernie, and she'd spend Christmas Eve and Day with her family before continuing to pay visits to the rest of her close friends up until the day of her birthday. That day was always reserved for family — sometimes occasionally rarely friends. It quite honestly depended on who Aurora asked for permission and where she was.
However, her plans quickly vanished when she heard how ill her grandfather was again. It was just days before that Aurora was advised by her aunt that she shouldn't invite anyone over to the Estate without getting permission from either grandparent first. Bearing in mind that her grandfather wasn't feeling his best, Aurora decided to put her plans on pause. She, just as much as her grandmother and aunt, worried for Francis. As of late, she couldn't help but wonder if time was running out. Therefore, she didn't fret about her plans as much as she did at first. Getting her grandfather back in good health was all she cared about at the moment. It was all she thought about since hearing the news three days ago.
"You're strangely late today," Ernie commented as Aurora appeared in the Room of Requirement for the last D.A. meeting before the holidays. "You aren't still hung up on perfecting that Potions essay, are you?"
She shook her head no. "I finished that just last night."
"Megan said you were finishing up an essay," Zacharias joined the conversation. "She said that was your excuse for not walking with us here this evening."
