"Honeyduke's Sweetshop is brilliant" Ron told Harry as they walked up the staircase towards the Gryffindor common room "but nothing beats Zonko's Joke Shop" he continued "we never got a chance to go to the Shrieking Shack. You heard it's the most"- Harry cut Ron off "haunted building in Britain. I know"
"whats going on?" Aurora asked as she noticed people stopping in the middle of the staircase "Probably Neville's forgot the password again" Ron dismissed "hey" voice called out. It was Neville "oh" Ron said in surprise "your there"
"let me through, please. Excuse me! I'mhead boy" The quartet heard Percy saying. Aurora rolled her eyes at the fact he mentioned he was head boy whenever he got the chance. "Get back, all of you. No one is to enter this dormitory until it's been searched" Percy commanded.
Ginny suddenly appeared in front of the group "The Fat Lady!" Ginny exclaimed "she's gone!". Hermione let out a small gasp and Aurora looked up at her painting. There were three large gashes going through the middle, as if an animal had struck it "serve's her right. She was a terrible singer" Ron said "Ron, mate, I'm not disagreeing with you but please, shut up" Aurora scolded
All of the paintings around them began going into panic mode. Percy let out another order. Teachers began pushing through the crowd of Gryffindor's trying to get a look at the attack. Dumbledore froze as he looked at the sight. Filch looked around at the paintings with one eye squinted.
Dumbledore told Filch to round up the ghosts and get them to search every painting for the fat lady "there's no need for ghosts professor" Filch replied as he lifted his finger to point at a painting "the Fat Lady's there"
The Gryffindor's all began to rush up the staircases, pushing past Percy and running as fast as they good "dear lady, who did this to you?" Dumbledore asked softly as the fat lady came out from hiding behind a hippo "eye's like the devil, he's got, and a soul as dark as his name" she trembled "it's him headmaster. The one they all talk about. He's here, somewhere in the castle. Sirius Black!" she exclaimed and began to hide behind the hippo once again.
Auora felt Harry inch closer to her, trying to seek comfort in his best friend. Dumbledore demanded for everyone to go to the great hall.

Snape slammed the door shut as he walked into the classroom. He used his wands to close the shutters on each one of the windows, leaving the classroom fairly dark. As Snape reached the front of the classroom he pulled down a white screen and whipped round to face the class
"Turn to page 394"
Snape spoke monotonously and slowly. Everyone complied to his demand. Snape began walking down the middle aisle that he had just walked up, this time, much slower "Excuse me sir" Harry spoke politely "where's professor Lupin?"
"That's not really your concern, is it, Potter?" Snape spoke "suffice it to say your professor finds himself incapable of teaching at the present time. Turn to page 394" "werewolves?" Ron questioned. "Sir, we just began learning about red caps and hinkypunks" Aurora told Snape from beside Harry "we're not meant to start that for weeks"
"Quiet" Snape said lowly. "now" Snape began "which one of you can tell me the difference between an animagus and a werewolf?" both Hermione and Aurora raised their hands. Aurora was a troublemaker, yes, but she wasn't stupid. She was quite far from it. "no one?" Snape said with his back turned to the class.
"How disappointing" Snape said in his usual condescending tone, this cause Auora to roll her eyes. "Please, sir" Hermione began "an animagus is a wizard who elects to turn into an animal. A werewolf has no choice. With each full moon he no longer remembers who he is. He'd kill his best friendif he lost his path. Furthermore, the werewolf only responds to the call of its own kind"
Malfoy let out a fake howl and Aurora sent daggers his way "thank you, Mr. Malfoy" Snape turned to Hermione "That's the second time you have spoken out of term Miss Granger. Are you incapable of restraining yourself or do you take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all?" Snape scolded harshly
Auora snapped "do you take pride in being a greasy haired git?" "15 points from Gryffindor" Snape snapped. In that moment, Snape was reminded of the girl he hand't spoken to in seventeen years, the girl who he'd loved like a sister and then tossed aside as though she was rag doll. He also saw a glimpse of her father when she sneered at him, it was uncanny with how similar she was was to both her parents; having her mothers beauty and her fathers raging personality.
"As an antidote to your ignorance, and on my desk, by Monday morning two rolls of parchment on the werewolf, with emphasis on recognising it" Snape demanded as half the class let out gasps "sir, it's quidditch tomorrow" Harry said and Snape put his hands on Harry's desk and leaned dangerously close to him
"Then I suggest you take extra care, Mr. Potter. Loss of limb will no excuse you. Page 394" Snape repeated

It was pouring down with rain and it was also freezing. Aurora didn't mind though, she enjoyed the cold weather. When it was hot, it was absolutely horrid. The constant sweating and restless nights and having to wash her hair everyday rather that the normal every three days. The only thing she enjoyed about summer time was he birthday. But even then it wasn't really a big deal.
Aurora was wrapped up in her Gryffindor hat, scarf and gloves as she watched the quidditch game going on above. Aurora was really good at playing quidditch but her mum, Rosie, never let her play, she would always give the excuse of it being 'too dangerous' or something along those lines. Other times, Rosie would say its because it reminded her too much of Aurora's father. Aurora respected her mums wishes and didn't play, much to her own dismay.
All of the Gryffindors were chanting and Auora as well as Ron and Hermione were cheering for Harry "Go Harry!" All three shouted as Harry flew after the golden snitch. A bolt of lightning struck one of Gryffindor's players. Her broom caught fire and she was sent hurdling towards the ground.
Aurora watched as Harry zoomed off into the clouds above them. He wasn't even visible anymore. The match against the Hufflepuffs had been proven extremely difficult and with the weather conditions on top of that, nobody was sure if Gryffindor could handle it. Aurora could only imagine what Oliver Wood would do if helost against Cedric Diggory. Knowing Oliver he'd probably try and drown himself in the prefects bathroom.
Every looked up to see a yellow cloaked figure falling towards the ground. Aurora had completely lost sight of Harry once again. She fiddled with her glove covered fingers, something she did when she was nervous.
Aurora spotted Harry seemingly before everyone else "Guys, look!" she yelled pointing up towards Harry's falling body.
