bullies, pureblood supremacy, the Purifiers, her nightmares, being embarrassed by her brother in law at school
erised:
Other than graduate Hogwarts in one piece Aurora has the impossible wish that all the muggleborn students killed during her fourth year would be alive and well again. She thinks of all the things they never got to do and it makes her wish that Elaine Dupree had never targeted them.
amortentia:
books, parchment, sea air
boggart:
With all the muggleborn deaths that have happened a few years back, Aurora fears the death of her remaining family.
A completely pureblood dominate world where muggleborns are treated like dirt. They're already badly treated but she fears something like the muggleborn registration commission happening again.
overall personality:
Like her younger brother Alexander, Aurora was gifted with book smarts, hence her sorting into Ravenclaw when she was 11 years old. While Alex keeps to himself, Rory happens to be the street smart one out of the two. She is not as guarded and it's easy for her to talk to people, especially if they have similar interests. Even though Aurora is not so guarded, that is not to say she doesn't know when a person can't be trusted.
Although she is only the second oldest, Aurora is still very protective of her younger siblings. She's especially protective towards Alex because of his tendency to just let bullies walk all over him. She doesn't understand why her brother can't stand up for himself and it hurts her to see him mistreated.
Aurora is a rather determined individual. When she puts her mind to something she doesn't let anything stop her from achieving that goal. She can also be rather stubborn at times as well, but generally most teenagers are that way. One of the things Aurora is stubborn about is her belief that it's wrong to mistreat someone because of their blood status. She's experienced the same mistreatment time and time again during Hogwarts, and the fact that muggleborn deaths were making the news a few years back distressed her greatly.

history:
After her oldest brother was born in 2005, Aurora was the third sibling to be born three years later. When she was born her sister had already been accepted to Hogwarts and would start her first year in September 2008, so Rory didn't get to see her much except for summer and Christmas. Aurora was a bit older at 8 years old when it was her older brother's turn to start Hogwarts. She had showed her first sign of magic around that time as well, so Rory knew her time to go to Hogwarts would be here in no time. She never felt any jealousy over the fact that her siblings got to go to school first. In fact she enjoyed hearing the stories they would tell about their time there.
Eventually Aurora's role switched from that of younger sibling to an older sibling when Alex was born (2009) followed by the youngest (2011) who is now a fourth year. She was 2 when Alex was born and about 3 when the last sibling was born, but Aurora made every attempt to make her younger brothers feel included as they grew up together. With one older sibling already away at school when Aurora was young, and then an older brother added to the mix she knew they likely felt similarly when it was Aurora's turn to go to Hogwarts.
Just before her oldest brother's first year A traumatic event occurred in Aurora's life when she was just 7 years old, one year before her first show of magic. She'd been sitting in the car with her older brother, Alex and the youngest when her parents were killed in the crash that also injured her brother. She was unhurt but the 7 year old was still frightened by what was going on. Things had been fine up until that point. Aurora was chatting with her brothers about things that interested people of their age group, then the next thing she knew Aurora was staring at Alex's unconscious 6 year old body.
The aftermath of the crash wasn't a pleasant one for Aurora. She remembered sitting patiently in the waiting room of the muggle hospital with her siblings while Alex had surgery on his kneecap. At one point Aurora even began having nightmares of her brother dying in the same crash. If it had been anything more than a hurt leg, torn ligaments and broken knee cap, Aurora knew she probably could've lost him too. Aurora was thankful that his injuries weren't all that severe, even if they were unpleasant and required surgery in the end. After losing her parents in the crash, the possibility of having lost Alex was a place her mind had went often. She never comments on Alex's tendency to limp out of respect for her brother, but seeing him do it is a harsh reminder of the night that changed her life forever. One that Aurora wishes she could erase from her memory or change the outcome of, but she knows that is impossible.
Aurora and her siblings were taken in by her brother in law and his wife, her older sister. She was happy to have a family to take care of her, but she still missed her parents a lot. Aurora tried to make things as easy as possible for them, much like what Alex was doing. Sure, the nightmares she was having were probably disrupting their lives and her sister had a baby as well. Aurora didn't see much reason to lash out against her family when they were trying to help by giving her a home after the loss of her parents.
Aurora's years at Hogwarts had their ups and downs. She did manage to make some friends, but the pureblood supremacy she was witnessing was a obstacle that she constantly faced. In fact, her fourth year was full of it. After the second death (a Ravenclaw who had been in her year, Andrew Parson), Aurora began having nightmares again. This time it was of unknown blood purists attacking and killing her siblings. With two deaths already in the books, it made her wonder if anyone else was having trouble sleeping because of all the attacks.
Most recently last term her sixth year brought with it a new surprise. Her brother in law was now teaching at Hogwarts. He had applied for the position of Potions Professor, which was a subject that Aurora was continuing with for her NEWTs. She hadn't expected this merging of her school life and home life. It wasn't that she didn't mind her guardian teaching at Hogwarts but it was weird. She managed to get used to the idea eventually and now Aurora is a seventh year. Her brother in law is still teaching Potions with the added surprise of him now being head of Ravenclaw, Aurora's own house.
site events reaction:
Muggleborn Killings- In Rory's fourth year (September 2022) a student was found dead on the Hogwarts Express. Although her guardians tried to shield Aurora and her siblings from such horrible things, it didn't necessarily work out too well when stuff like this was happening during the school year. In fact, no more than a month later (October 2022) a second muggleborn student was found dead this time in the forest. This death hit her a lot closer to home (which was not to say the first death didn't since it was also a muggleborn, but she didn't know the first victim personally) The second victim was a student that she knew from around the common room and classes. Aurora was scared that her family could be next if things continued this way. As much as Aurora hoped things would settle down, a muggleborn housemate that she vaguely knew, Ethan Johnson was brutally attacked in December and then finally killed during an attack on Hogwarts in April 2023. Although Ethan was not in her year, Aurora was still disgusted when she heard of the original attack on him and then devastated for his friends and family when news of the seventh year's death broke out. She also mourned fourth year Ravenclaw Andrew Parson's death since he was in the same year as her. Now that she's reached her graduating year, Aurora is still in mourning for him since Andrew died before he could reach that point, which she views as a great injustice and he was just too young to be killed in such brutal fashion.
Attack on King's Cross- Aurora's chaotic fourth year ended with another attack, this time on King's Cross Station while she was on the train home from school. The three auror deaths that resulted didn't do much to make her feel any safer. Even though the Ministry could always send more aurors out to wherever they're needed, the latest attack left Rory shaken after the deaths that had taken place during the term.
Triwizard Tragedy- Aurora's fifth year was rather uneventful for the most part. She earned her prefect's badge and was dilligent about patrolling the corridors due to the attacks/killings of muggleborns from her fourth year. The Triwizard Tournament had also been exciting to witness, even though she didn't know the Hogwarts Champion personally. Apart from being a Weasley and her name being well known, Aurora had no connection to Percy's daughter but she was proud of Molly for winning. Aurora later learned of the attack on Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's transportation when it was reported in the Daily Prophet. Hogwarts exams were cancelled but luckily Aurora did not have to worry about that affecting her performance on OWLS too much, having managed to complete her tests before the explosions.
