Oh.

This wasn’t at all the lesson that Aurora had expected. She was sure that there were others out there that had a keen interest in paleontology, if that could be applied to Dragons, but she just wasn’t one of them. She much preferred the idea of working with live creatures, of learning how to care for them and nurture them and be the mother of creatures she had always dreamed of becoming. She’d seen fossils before, had even been to the Natural History Museum where huge displays of skeletons were held and they had always made her feel a little uncomfortable.

She followed, albeit a little hesitantly and on the lookout for a friend to converse with whilst they accomplished the task at hand. At least they weren’t real bones they’d be looking for, the Ravenclaw would spend the rest of the lesson saddened over the thought of the poor creature perishing and wondering whether anything could have been done to prevent it.

She found a spot and knelt down, opting to at least use this opportunity to practice some of her magic instead of using the tools.
