If it wasn’t evident by the baby pink, glitter laced, white fluffy insoled ice skates that Aurora had flung over her shoulder, the Ravenclaw was more than ready for this particular activity. The ear muffs that protected her dainty ears matched the insoles of her skates perfectly and the scarf she had loosely flung over her shoulder was in the same baby pink shade. The rest of her outfit was white and closely fitting to her body to not become an obstacle whilst she skated. Safety was important after all.

“I’m HERE!” the third year beamed, bouncing her way down the hill towards the frozen pond where a small group had already begun gathering. Aurora had a big advantage you see as she had been ice skating from a very young age. Her mothers were both keen on the sisters engaging in a sport of some kind, for health reasons, discipline and to form a camaraderie with teammates that came with being a member of a club. Living in the inner city of London meant that her first choice of horse riding was a little out of the question and it had been enrolling at the local ice rink for ice dancing lessons that the thirteen year old had chosen as her alternative. She’d even competed for the club on several occasions and had the medals in her bedroom at home to prove it.

The second she had seen the notice that Professor DeVries had organised a skating party, Aurora had practically levitated with excitement. She wasn’t here to show off however, she was here to help teach the others to skate if they didn’t know how. There was nothing better than skating arm in arm with your besties.
