For a pink, Princess loving thirteen year old, Aurora was surprisingly drawn to the outdoors. Unlike her fellow Ravenclaws who seemed to enjoy being cooped up indoors with a book to read and a comfortable seat, she much preferred the fresh air and soft grass beneath her bare feet as she strolled her way along the lake’s shoreline. Being back at Hogwarts was like returning back home to the extent that she didn’t get the same level of homesickness she had for her first couple of years of attendance. It wasn’t that she didn’t miss her Mums but rather that she knew there were so many people here to distract her that the thought didn’t cross her mind so much.

It was on her return from the Lake that Aurora came across the new garden nearby the Herbology Greenhouses. Naturally curious, the third year beelined straight for the pretty flowers and neat hedgerows tracing her fingertips along the plants gently so as to not disturb the pollen and prevent her Butterfly friends from enjoying their daily meal. She’d have to ask Professor DeVries whether she’d be allowed to pick some of the flowers in order to braid them into her friend's hair on another occasion. For now she was satisfied with just going for a wander, no skipping this time though as the bees were engrossed in the late summer flowers and she didn’t fancy getting stung.
