Any addition to the school grounds was appreciated by Aurora. Although she admired the castle for all its grandeur, it was outside where she truly felt she belonged. Even better when that new addition featured small furry creatures (or in this instance feathery ones), it was likely to become a frequently visited spot along her weekend walk.

Dressed rather casually in a t-shirt and blue denim shorts, her hair down in loose waves, making the most out of the remains of a short-lived summer, the fifth year instantaneously spotted a familiar set of dark waves by the pond's edge. Usually she would’ve just barged her way into a hug but judging by Solomon’s lack of acknowledgement at the feast, the blonde was a little hesitant on her approach to the space next to him.

That didn’t stop her from leaning into his side as she watched him toss the oats into the water. No greetings were deemed necessary, it was obvious from the closeness who she would be, at least she assumed that would be the case. “Do you think they know your surname is Duck? Like maybe you have some spiritual connection with them.” If that was the truth then she’d need to find and marry a man whose surname was Unicorn.
