He'd heard they had 'muggle studies' and if it was an interesting subject and not how to iron then he was fairly certain that he would be good at that. "Well err.. Good luck" he smiled slightly, though he'd probably be able to offer his luck closer to the time. It may be a big school but they'd still see eachother in lessons wouldn't they? Roehampton sounded fairly familiar but the fact it was obviously one of many a home belonging to her made him feel slightly degraded. "Must be nice" he mumbled, glancing down at his hands that were rested in her lap. "Yeah. Guess I could. Bit of a wait though" He was only 14 after all.
"Thought so. You look similar" he looked out of the window, watching the rows of houses fade away out of sight to leave the flat greenery on the outside of London. "A little sister, non-magical" he stated, and deep down he was glad of that. Being a wizard made him different, unique. Unlike any of his schoolmates. The common rooms sounded like a good idea, though it made him a little worried that he would be separated from the few friends he had right now. "Sounds dead cool" Like being on the other side of an aquarium tank, provided there were things you could see swimming around in the lake and it wasn't dark and dirty like the Thames. Forbidden? He raised his eyebrow. Sounded like an open invitation to him. "Eh they don't know me yet" he laughed.
"Cos it's a bit of a surprise for us Muggleborns. Ain't there a warning on these things?" he asked, they needed one. "Anythin' chocolate would go down smoothly with me" he laughed. It just agreed with him.
Aurora nodded,
"Yeah, my Mother does it." she said.
"Like, she does specialist stuff." For lazy or untalented witches (or wizards, usually) who could afford to pay her Mother for them.
"Oh, thanks. I'm gonna need it." she said, grinning slightly.
"Theory is difficult!" Pfft, the music was so pretty... it was kind of worth the annoying written work.
"Yeah, I guess. Sometimes I wish we could stay in one place though." Not that she had anything against traveling - it was fabulous - but it made things difficult.
"Only three years. And you could always try and learn at school." After all, the Room of Requirement had provided her with a piano, so surely it could provide other stuff.
"Yep, it's the Irish part of the family." she said, running a hand through her curls.
"Full of red-heads." Well, her father's side of the family anyway... most of her mother's family were blonde. Including her sister. Aurora, apart from the hair colour, was the spitting image of her older sister - and it really annoyed her.
"Younger sister? Cute! I have an older brother and sister, both graduated - though Tiff went to Durmstrang not Hogwarts - and both moved out." she said, shrugging. It was cool though - meant she was spoilt rotten...
"It is cool! I don't know much about the other common rooms... Gryffindor and Ravenclaw are in the towers, and Hufflepuff is on the Kitchen level." she said.
"But other than that I have no idea." Maybe she should ask someone about it some time...
"Well... good point." she gave in.
"But I think you'll be fine." And she couldn't really vouch for anyone else's opinion...
Aurora laughed slightly,
"Nope - they're kinda normal for us." she said.
"And if there was a warning it would be in German. These are from Mystiche Strasse in Wuzburg - it's like a German Diagon Alley basically." she added as an explanation.
"Well, the chocolate frogs actually jump." Aurora said,
"But they have collectors cards in them as well." Though she didn't collect them... too much effort.
