Of course Aurora knew that magical pets came with their dangers but did that make her want a Kneazle any less? Absolutely not! Whether her parents would let her have one was another matter for the family already had a cat who she was fairly certain would not enjoy sharing her space or a warm lap. “Well maaaaybe they don’t want to be petted. Do you like having your head patted all the time?” Hmm? HMMM?! Not that she would blame Solly for wanting to pet them, Rora would probably do the same. The fact that there was someone in existence who didn’t like pets blew her mind. Aurora didn’t trust people who didn’t like animals. She wrinkled her nose in response. “That’s rubbish! We have a family Munckin cat and I have an Owl called Flora. She’s a Little Owl so she’s reeeeally small. I’m not allowed any more pets says Ma,” she sighed. “Do you think we could sneak you in a pet? What about a stick insect? Your Dad won’t be able to spot it!” And they were cool and not venomous like tarantulas were. They weren’t exactly cuddly but seeing as Solomon was a boy that clearly wasn’t a priority for him.

The blonde was far more interested in the Crup playing in the corner than she was in watching what the spider was doing to notice what Solomon was talking about. She glanced back down when he grabbed her hand, observing the little hairy legs doing their thing and shuddered just the tiniest bit. “She’s waving at you.” she commented determined that Brutus was a man-eating girl.

Aurora was unfortunately in exactly the same situation in which she had only been given enough money to buy what she needed and not what she wanted or that bright pink Pygmy Puff would be coming home with her right that instance. “Me too,” she sighed.

Okay, she didn’t literally ask the hat to put her in Ravenclaw but she thought about it over and over again until she supposed the Sorting Hat couldn’t deny her request anymore. “Kinda. I really wanted to be a Claw! And I like to learn things and my Mum’s say I’m really inquisitive.” Read: Nosey. “But I don’t think I’m super clever. I don’t like reading books much either.” No stereotypes here.
