The Ravenclaw Common room boasts an extraordinary view of the Hogwarts grounds. Aurora constantly found herself in awe with the enormous arced windows that structured the tower and gave a clear sight of the Forbidden Forest.
It was the airiest of the four houses, with long blue drapes decorating its curved walls and a domed glass ceiling enchanted to twinkle with the night's stars, moving with Earth's constellations.
The body of their tower remained quiet, with only light hums of snores audible near the stairways. Home-coming had wrapped around the first weekend of September, something the greater part of students had taken full advantage of, most of whom still lay deep asleep. Rory only wished to do the same, but her unconscious habit of rising before the sun was a gift and a curse all at once.
Instead, she sat on a small bronze sofa that was sectioned off in front of the north window. The Black Lake's waves crushed onto the brick far underneath her as her eyes read the lines of her muggle book, Pride and Prejudice.
Daphne introduced it along with a small stack of muggle literature on their ride to Hogwarts. The blondes mother, an English teacher at a Secondary School in London, had offered Aurora a copy; stating it as one of her absolute favorite reads.
The brunette was unsure of what Secondary School was to begin with but didn't question it. Instead, she asked Daphne to send her mother an abundance of gratitude on her part for the kind gesture.
She was off to a slow start- struggling to keep up the old English dialogue the book consisted of. Her fingers stroked impatiently alongside the beige pages of her book, the thin corner of the paper dancing on the tip of her index finger before turning the page.
The soft vibrations of footsteps near indicated the loss of time. Vigorously entertained by her book, she had forgotten about her surroundings and was now greeted by the sun's appearance on the horizon.
The hand full of students were enough to encourage Aurora to run and hide. Still self cautious about what her fellow eagles may say about her new appearance. Daphne insisted it all in her head.
Her head laid low as she walked towards the girls' stairway, hoping to not draw any unwanted attention. In the prior twenty-four hours, she had indeed noticed the shift because of her appearance. She insisted that the stares and whispers weren't just in her head and mentally she cursed her mother for convincing her to take the treatment.
The small leathered watch wrapped around her wrist read seven-twenty three. In seven minutes, four enchanted birds would sing over Daphne's head, attempting to wake her up. The Great Hall would also open its doors to breakfast and dozens of students who remained hidden in their dorms would emerge.
"Didn't think you'd be up so early on our first day," a semi-cheerful voice chirped as she entered her shared dorm. Agnes Schmidt sat fully clothed on her twin sister's bed, her perfectly curled hair framed her slim tan face.
