No one was to tell Aurora’s parents under any circumstances that she was sneaking down to the kitchen for a sugary snack in between meals. The blonde had a sweet tooth and she desired a little something to keep her going from those amazing house elves who made the most delicious meals. Yes, she was trying to eat all her fruits and vegetables and grains but when there were all these other options it was difficult. She had even heard there was a sweet shop in Hogsmeade that was maybe even better than the one in Diagon Alley. The blonde has made her way down from the seventh floor where she had been sat on her bed flicking through a magazine she had packed in her suitcase and was wandering the basement corridor.

The problem was that she hadn’t quite worked out how to enter the kitchens by herself yet.

She knew it had something to do with the painting of a fruit bowl hanging up on the wall. Unfortunately at the time there was no one else present to assist her in the corridor and therefore this was something she’d have to use her newly appointed Ravenclaw brain to figure out. It was bad enough that the only way to enter the Ravenclaw common room was to answer a riddle and now there was another painting that wanted to test her?! The eleven year old stood there staring at the painting with her head tilted slightly to one side in confusion trying to figure it out. How long could she stand here before she’d have to give up?
