In need of peace (Aurora)

[Deleted]

It wasn't normal for Ronan to sneak away from other people. After all he enjoyed to party and have a good time, even pull the occasional prank or two. But today was different he wanted some time to think or at least that is what he told himself. He had left the Gryffindor common room about an hour ago. He had been wandering the castle but he couldn't find a place to think, that is until he found himself near the Ravenclaw common room, and more importantly the room of requirement. Why hadn't he thought to come here before? Ronan wasn't sure but he paced back and forth three times in front of a blank stretch of wall thinking all the while that he needed some place to peaceful so he could think. When he was stopped he was rewarded with a door, that had ornate designs on it of all different types of magical creatures, but in the center was one of an eagle which just so happened to be the shape of his patronus.

Ronan walked over to the door and pushed it open to find a a decent sized room that had polished wood floors, a couch and a few arm chairs, which where placed near a window that gave a great view of the grounds. He took a few steps into the room and looked to the wall opposite of the window and found a large tapestry with an eagle on it. Anyone who saw the room, or the door would think that it was a room for a Ravenclaw, but in reality it just showed an eagle which had always helped Ronan calm his mind and relax. Maybe that is why his patronus took that form. He walked over to the window and looked out at the grounds not realizing that he had left the door to the room slightly ajar. He stood there for awhile watching the people that were out on the grounds. He could even see James and a several of their other friends walking towards the quidditch pitch. No doubt they were headed there for a pick up game or two.

How long he stood there, he didn't know. But after a while he was thirsty, and not to long after thinking about it a glass filled with water appeared on a table next to one of the chairs. Ronan kind of hoped it would be something like butterbeer or something else. He sighed, apparently the room knew that he was a quidditch player and that he didn't need that right now. Ronan then picked up said glass and drank some of the contents therein before he turned back to look out the window. He was not really paying attention to anything in particular, but then he heard a noise over where the door was, but he just figured that it was someone walking by and being really loud, since he was positive that he had closed the door and locked it. But it was still slightly ajar.

Aurora sat on her bed. Her long brown hair was over her shoulder and she was twisting it into a braid while the other girls fawned over the latest Witch Weekly that soared in on the Lestrange family owl. Many of the girls had subscribed to the magazine, but Aurora’s mother had connections with the company. It left Aurora received the magazine way before it was actually released. Of course the brunette witch usually tossed it aside and preferred her Daily Prophet. The girls thought Aurora crazy. But she paid no mind to it. She just offered it to them instead of read it herself. Her eyes went over the black and white ink of her newspaper as she read more about the accident that happened on the train earlier this year. Of course, not much could be written. Nobody knew anything. And like any cliché went, James Potter ended up being the one finding the poor girl. Aurora finished her braid and the article in time to look up and see the girls trying some hair maneuver shown in the magazine. Aurora couldn’t help but roll her eyes and leave her bed.

“Well girls,” she began. They all ignored her. “I’m going out for a stroll, if anyone of you bird brains care to bat an eye.” Again they didn’t listen. Aurora didn’t have a sweet or soft voice. Hell, her voice held confidence and clearity. But normally the only time she spoke was when she was saying something intelligent or asking a questions. Things, most teenagers her age now ignored, despite the house they came from. Aurora grabbed her jacket and wand before leaving the tower she called home. She walked the many steps down to the next floor. Where was she to go? It’s not like her brother was still in school. If he were, she’d be headed for the dungeons. No this time, she was the last Lestrange in Hogwarts. Her bright blue eyes searched her surrounds as she pulled her coat on. Maybe just a stroll was what she actually needed instead of an excuse.

The young woman made her way from the stair case beginning to the end of the hall. It wasn’t a long ways and could have took her a matter of minutes, except Aurora was stopped in her tracks. There was an extra door here. She looked down the left of the corridor and then to the right before looking back at the door covered in Eagles. “Ever so curious.” She said getting closer to the room. She wasn’t sure how much of the schools population knew about the room, but she was one of the few who did. It made her curious as to who did as well and why they would leave it open. The girl finally pulled the door open and looked inside. She took a step forward and soon was looking at someone in her year. “You know, you’re supposed to closed this door once you think up an escape.” She finally said, “That is unless your meeting someone… in that case, I just better leave…” She began thinking out loud.

[Deleted]

“You know, you’re supposed to closed this door once you think up an escape.” At those words Ronan let out a sigh before he turned around to see someone that he had heard about before but he had never actually met her. He had heard about her from James quite a few times. "Yeah I thought I had closed it all of the way, but I guess not." Ronan finished his glass of water before responding to, what sounded more like a thought. "Nope I am not meeting someone." He stated simply. Having decided that he wanted to get to know this person a bit more, and they might become friends of a sort. Ronan added. "You can stay if you want." He smiled then just thinking of how jealous James might get. 

Ronan really looked at her the for the first time he could see why James was smitten with her not that he would ever admit it. He couldn't help himself, he knew she was in his year and a Ravenclaw. "My name is Ronan, Ronan Finnigan." He introduced himself, not sure why he said his first name twice but he always said it when he was meeting girls for the first time. Granted most of them liked that, but he could just tell that this girl wouldn't fall for that. So he asked. "Might I know your name?" He stood there waiting for a moment for an answer. Before he could stop himself, he asked "So what is a Ravenclaw like yourself doing wandering around the castle? I thought you spent your time in your tower, or in the library." Leave it to Ronan to go and make a comment like that. 

He thought she might just leave at his comment about Ravenclaws. But he really hoped not, he had his few moments of piece. But now he was ready to make another friend, well at least he hoped so. Ronan then waved his hand towards the chairs as he said. "I could use some company. Would you care to join me?" Before he had even gotten an answer he walked over to one of the chairs in front of the window and sat down. It was quite relaxing to sit here and look out the window but he realized that the girl hadn't joined him yet. Hoping that she hadn't left, he turned his head towards the door to see if she was going to join him or not.

[Deleted]

The girl grinned when he said she could stay if she wanted. Of course, she had nowhere else to be and seeing as the place he thought up was so, familiar almost, it couldn’t hurt… Aurora stepped in some more before turning around and closing the door. She was more than positive from the other side, the door vanished back inside the wall. She had never seen it happen, but she bet it was magical, like everything else in this place. Aurora turned back around looking at the young man in front of her. She, of course, knew who he was. He was a Finnigan. Another child Aurora should have avoided but seeing as her older brother was nowhere in site, nor anyone else, it should be fine. Besides, he wasn’t a Weasley, nor a Potter.  

“Nice to officially meet you Ronan.” It was more of her fault she didn’t meet anyone previous to this year. Everyone in Ravenclaw knew her, as well as Slytherin. And the others in Hufflepuff or Gryffindor, well Lestrange was just a scary name. Especially paired with her older brother. He graduated in their fourth year, but before that, he was causing pain and torment to anyone not of their inner circle. Before Aurora could give him her name, he spoke again. The girl smirked a little bit, “If I didn’t know better, I’d say you’re one of James Potter’s friends.” She raised an eyebrow. “Throw pretty in there, and that’s almost the exact pick up line he used on me. You used more words though.” The girl’s blue eyes, today a bit darker thanks to her jacket wondered around the room. She was quite impressed with the man standing in front of her. “Not much more I can do this year. I’m left with more time on my hands than I can handle.” Now that was something that was scary and exciting. 

The brunette looked back at Ronan, a grin was back on her face. She was almost in disbelief. “I would love to join you!” No one really ever invited her for company. There was always some fearing or selfish reason behind other than needing some company. The girl walked in a bit more and looked at the seating. She then took the chair next to him. “Please, don’t freak out, because people have before,” she began before looking at him, “But I’m Aurora Lestrange.” Her last name held a lot of reactions, none of which she was too fond of. The girl grabbed the braid she created and began to unwind it. “Now my turn to being stereotypical, but, aren’t Gryffindors usually supposed to be surrounded by their friends?” Her blue eyes turned back onto the sky lit up behind the window.  

[Deleted]

“If I didn’t know better, I’d say you’re one of James Potter’s friends.” Ronan couldn't help but grin at this comment. Practically everyone in the school knew who they all were. They made a name for themselves since their first year. "Yes I am a friend of James." He wondered how come he had never met her before. He knew almost everyone in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. He was on friendly terms with a couple of Slytherins as well. But then yet again almost every time he saw her, he was with James, who would get this dumb look on his face, which was actually quite funny to see. But she never really gave any of them the time of day, well that is until this year. "Ha I may have used more words, seeing as how I am the one who taught James that line. Who apparently shortened it." It really was simple enough but it helped to break the ice. And it was just like James to go ahead and shorten said pickup line. But oh well, whatever worked, worked.

Ronan knew exactly who she was once she said her name. “But I’m Aurora Lestrange.” Before that though she asked him not to freak out. He knew that many people would freak out or shun anyone with the last name Lestrange. But he didn't it was only a name, not who the person really is. Granted he did run into her older brother every now and then before he graduated. They didn't get along to well. But now he had a chance to get to know her, and what she was like as an individual. "Don't worry I am not going to freak out like everyone else does when they here you name. I mean it is just a name after all, not who you are. And plus why should you be judged by your name. Yeah I know people from your family are insane, but that doesn't mean that you are." It was quite true, the people in her family where insane especially Bellatrix Lestrange. But he had always been taught not to judge people because of who they are related to, but to judge them by their own actions. 

Ronan looked out the window for a moment before he answered her question. “Now my turn to being stereotypical, but, aren’t Gryffindors usually supposed to be surrounded by their friends?” He could only grin before he turned to look at Aurora, "Well normally I would be but not today. I just needed a break, you know. To collect my thoughts, and to have some time to myself." He didn't want to sound like he wanted her to leave seeing as how he had just asked her to join him. But that is how it came out. "But I am glad that you came along. I always enjoy meeting new people." Ronan leaned back in his chair trying to relax just a bit more. However the chair had other ideas and it fell backwards with a loud noise as it hit the floor. Apparently the room had taken to pranking a prankster such as himself. For it always seemed that whenever he was in here whether it was alone or with his fellow marauders, it was what his friends and he called their little group, that the room would prank one of them or all of them. He let out a chuckle as he stared at the wall that had the tapestry of the eagle on it, which seemed to have a smirk on it's face, well if eagles could smirk that is probably what it would look like. "Just my luck. This room likes to prank me when I am here alone or with friends." He informed Aurora.

It really was quite funny how the room liked to prank them. This incident with the chair was something that it had done before. In a sarcastic tone he informed the room "Really original, but it is getting old. Just face it your losing your touch." After a few seconds he began to get out of the chair but as he did so he was drenched with water from a rather large bucket that had appeared over his head. Ronan looked down at his clothes that were now wet, and began to laugh. "Now that is more like it!" Once he stopped laughing he pulled out his wand and dried his clothes. But after that he set the chair upright, and took a seat once more. 

[Deleted]

Aurora rolled her eyes. Another friend of James. The moment he spoke to her, t was like she couldn’t escape him or those influenced by him or would influence him. It was insane. The brunette spent her last six years avoiding everyone in his circle and now everyone she ran into had something to do with him. Aurora looked over at Ronan, “So you’re the real Casanova, not James.” The girl smirked before she averted her eyes to elsewhere. Now she knew who to blame about James hitting her up. Maybe if he didn’t have as much ammo he wouldn’t have approached her and she could continue ignoring him. Except, now he was all that was on her mind sometimes. Her day dreaming became worse since then. Aurora did not enjoy it at all. 

He gave her a long explanation to his reaction. It was definitely a first. Sure some don’t care, but they also didn’t take time to associate with her. It was comfortable for Aurora though. No one really bugged her. They all were insane but they were also cruel even if they were insane. “It is just a name..” she muttered in agreeance but she wasn’t going to say the to Potter, but she knew, especially with him, names become more than just that. Her father, her brother, her society will have it out for him… Not to mention how they would treat her after the fact, which was the least of her worries, she knew how to handle them. It was her life.  

Aurora nodded to his reasoning. She got plenty that but saw that many didn’t have that availably in their lives. They were in constant socialization and never had a time to reevaluate things in their lives. He then mentioned he was glad she was here, he liked meeting people. Aurora was on edge with that. Meeting people always went some other way than pleasant. Aurora ran a hand through her hair to free out her stands a bit more. There was then a large noise. Aurora’s eyes shot to where Ronan laid. She was completely confused. One minute she could have sworn he was perfectly balanced, the next, he was on the ground chuckling. “The room… pranks people…” her eyebrows creased together as she watched him. She of course didn’t spend much time in the room, so she didn’t completely understand it but, that was just odd. 

It wasn’t long before Ronan was standing but soaked. He threw words at the room and it retaliated. Aurora was impressed by the Room’s independence and life. “I guess, the room just adapted to keeping up with you lot.” She laughed her blue eyes now trailing over the room. “What a curious and wonderful sort of magic.” She cooed with a grin.  

[Deleted]

“So you’re the real Casanova, not James.” He grinned at this. In part it was true but it sounded to Ronan like she was blaming him for James trying to hit on her. "Okay let's get one thing straight, I just gave him the material. He acted on his own accord. Most of the time, all I do is listen to James talk about you. He is smitten with you, he just won't admit it." Ronan and the others tried their best to shut James up. But all he would do sometimes was talk about her and yet he hadn't even held a conversation with her. It was quite amusing to watch.



Ronan chuckled at the statement that Aurora made. “I guess, the room just adapted to keeping up with you lot.” It was true, the room had adapted to keep up with them they used it quite often, especially when they were planning pranks or hiding so as not to get caught. He laughed as he sat in the chair, remembering the first time that the room had pranked them. Ronan looked over at Aurora as she grinned and cooed at the room, complimenting the extraordinary room. "I swear this place has a mind of it's own." He grinned as he decided to tell her about the first time that the room had pranked them. "The first time the room pranked us, it was in our 3rd year. We were running away from filch when we found ourselves in front of an all to familiar door." He pointed towards the door. "When we opened it the room looked like it always did for us, when we were trying to hide. But once we closed the door and turned around we found that we were standing in quick sand. and then it stopped once we were up to our waists . We thought that it would let us go but we were wrong. It threw what seemed like an endless amount of whipped cream pies out our faces. After about half an hour it stopped and let us get out of the quick sand. once we were all out it threw water at us and then there was a strong wind to dry us off." Ronan chuckled. "This room is amazing. After the prank a mirror appeared with a frosted message on it telling us that we were more than welcome to be here it just wanted to have some fun. It is an extraordinary room. And I am glad that it is here."



He turned his gaze away from Aurora
to look out the window once more. "So when did you find this great room, that has a personality of it's own?" Ronan asked as he watched several owls fly around outside.

[Deleted]

Aurora’s head snapped to Ronan’s direction. He had got to be joking. "I bet he does that with every girl he sets his eyes on." She had a complete expression of disbelief. “He doesn’t even know me.” She said more to herself than anything. She racked her brain for moments where James even paid attention to her or looked her way. But in all honesty she never paid enough attention to have a moment locked in her brain of his attention except for that lonely day in the library where they first met each other. “Logically, there shouldn’t be much for him to say, if to say anything at all.” She continued a bit stumped at James’ apparently obsession with her. Her blue eyes went back to the window. 

Ronan began to tell a story of the lot and their meeting with the room. One thing after the other. It seemed to be able to handle the group and entertain them. She guessed there was truth to it. The one, maybe two times Aurora entered the room for herself, it was to be hidden and have solitude. It gave her a black, red and white room, the walls covered with books upon books, always bringing her something new to read. It was almost like she could never get back to where she began. “The room certainly is alive.” She smiled softly, her eyes on the outside world. It was astonishing how much had been put into Hogwarts and where it could go. She loved it and enjoyed it. Aurora rather be here than back at home where everything was handed to her.  

Aurora looked down at her fingers as she played with them. “Oh I didn’t really find it per say.” She shrugged a shoulder. “My father told me about the last wizarding war and how the Death Eaters entered through this room.” She thought about it. “I asked my father how to open it and one day, when I wanted to be rid of my house mates, I headed for here.” She looked up and over at him. “I get the same room over and over again, but I never get the same book. They was always a new book. It was certainly lovely. I thought it was perfect.” She nodded. 

[Deleted]

Ronan could only smirk, he had guessed that she would say that James didn't have much to say if anything at all about her. But he knew otherwise. It couldn't hurt to tell her. "Oh but he does. Ever since he first saw you he was smitten with you. Most times he won't stop talking about you. I should know, I have to live with him." The last part was a joke. He was good friends with James. He sighed before continuing. "And no he does not do that with every girl he meets just you." Ronan stated. "He won't give up." He knew that James would never give up, once he had his mind set on something, he did it. 

That sounded about right, His dad had also told him how the death eaters had gotten into the school through the room of requirement, and also how they used it for DA meetings, and also as a hideout. The room did everything that one could think of. He knew about the room since he was five years old. He had asked his dad several times to tell him about it and what it could do and how to get into it. Ronan looked over to Aurora and said "Yeah my dad told me about the room too. Me and my friends have been using it since first year. It really is a great room." He thought for a moment deciding what to ask next. It took him a few moments for him think of something and when he finally did Ronan asked "So tell me more about yourself. What do you like to do for fun? Do you have any pets? What is your favorite class?" It was several questions all at once but he just wanted to get to know more about her, and the only way that was going to happen was if he asked questions and listened. 

[Deleted]

Aurora had to rolled her blue eyes at Ronan. “Come on now. The only reason why he even noticed me was because I look slightly more appealing than I had last year. Never once had he even looked my way until this year.” She sighed, “I know his reputation and I know that is not a game I am wanting to play.” Aurora could do all she wanted with pushing the Potter kid away, but the moment she gives in and something happens, Aurora would place money that he will get bored with her and just move onto the next girl. Aurora didn’t experience much in life but from what she had seen in others, heart break was something she would have no problem trying to avoid. The brunette looked at the stars and her elbow on her armrest creating a prop for her head, “ He won’t give up…” One more thing she rolled her eyes at, “But he will get bored.” Aurora was completely different from his friends and even majority of the school’s population. Things rolled differently in her mind. She was opinionated and quiet. She hardly cared about social standings or pranking. She’d rather stay in and read than go out and party. They were polar opposites right down to last names.

Aurora turned her head in her hand and looked at Ronan before straightening up. Aurora loved questions. She loved to answer them, especially the ones she knew and well, he was asking about, something she wasn’t the shy about sharing. “I tend to read majority of the time. I love that. Read most of the books in the library, here and back home.” She paused, “See boring,” she laughed a little, “I also play the piano and sing, I enjoy that when I’m not being forced. I also like running, I love running.” She smiled a bit and looked down. “I have a funny looking cat named Sir Cornelius MacArthur.” She shrugged and giggled a bit. It was a funny name, and a long one to give a cat, “ I call him Corny for short.” She looked back at Ronan “I love herbology and potions.” That was something she didn’t need to hesitate in.

[Deleted]

Ronan laughed as he heard Aurora try and state why James should give up. “But he will get bored.” Ronan knew for a fact that James wasn't going to give up. It wasn't in his friend to give up. "He won't get bored trust me. And he isn't playing a game with you. If you had paid a little more attention you would have noticed that he has been this way since, at least 5th year." He couldn't remember when it had actually started but that didn't matter.

He started to laugh when he heard the nickname for her cat "Corny" it just sounded funny to him. "Sorry, that is a funny nickname for a cat." He looked at Aurora and asked "So exactly why do you call your cat Sir Cornelius MacArthur or Corny as you call him?" This was the type of name that came from something interesting. "Reading doesn't make you a boring person." Or at least Ronan didn't think so. He rather enjoyed reading whether he was learning something or if it was for pleasure. "Herbology and potions huh? Maybe I might ask for help my potions homework sometime. Not my best subject, you see. Those can be fun, however I prefer Charms, Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts." He never was that much into potions but he still enjoyed it, seeing what each did and what not. Sure he had fun during Herbology as well. He excelled in charms, transfiguration, and defense against the dark arts. They all came naturally to him, just like anything that had to deal with quidditch or pyrotechnics. 

[Deleted]

Aurora looked over at Ronan. He was laughing. The reaction made Aurora quite confused. What did she say that was funny? Her statement about Potter getting bored of her? Aurora frown. “I’m not supposed to be pay attention to Potter and his family, or friends.” She said biting her lip, “I’m supposed to be ignoring them.” She sighed and slouched a bit more in her chair. “You have to understand Ronan. Nothing can ever happen between myself and James. He has to understand that.” She shook her head before running her hand through it. “My father… ha! My brother! Will go mad if I even mention Potter at the dinner table.” Aurora put her blue eyes on the wall in front of her. “I would lose everything…” she bit her lip again, “And they wouldn’t even think twice about hurting Potter.” She propped her elbow back onto the armrest to lay her head on her hand. Aurora could not even believe she was considering James and what would happen if she caved. It was one thing to say no and linger on the thought no more and it was another to think of what exactly could go wrong.

“Well when I used to play princess, I knighted him, so now he’s a Sir.” Aurora smiled softly in amusement, “Cornelius is just a comical and intelligent name. And well I read MacArthur somewhere and just fell in love with it. So there you have it.” She shrugged at her childish thoughts. It was all too trivial, “Corny is just a shortening for Cornelius.” Aurora nodded. She found reading exciting and not boring, but so many have accused her for being boring because that was what she’d rather do with her time. Aurora glanced at Ronan, “Don’t you think James would get jealous if I’m tutoring you in potions?” she teased before she could catch herself and stay quiet. “I have no problem helping you. I do tutoring on the side majority of the time.” She shrugged. “I don’t care much about wand work. I’m actually studying wandless magic at the moment. I’m planning on mastering that.” That and she knew most wand work was for protection or attacks. She didn’t want to be good at it and love it. Her family did that and soon the good stuff wasn’t good enough. They set their eyes on the Dark Arts. Aurora didn’t want to be that, even if she had read every Dark Art book they held.

[Deleted]

Once he noticed the frown on Aurora's face he stopped laughing and said "Sorry." It just seemed funny at the prospect of James getting bored. But what she said about her family made him stop and think just what his friend might be getting into. However, an idea came to him suddenly. "No offense or anything but your family is insane. And to be quite honest I don't think that James really cares what they think. I can tell that you care about him getting hurt, or worse dying because of what they might do to him. But I think that if your family tried to harm you or James, his dad would be able to put a stop to it." He could tell that Aurora was thinking about it. But he wasn't sure what else to say.


“Don’t you think James would get jealous if I’m tutoring you in potions?” Ronan could only grin, at the thought that James getting jealous of him being tutored by Aurora. "He probably would become jealous. But then I just have something to tease him about." The last part came out as a joke, which he hoped would lighten the mood a little. And now that he thought about it this was the first time that he had seen or heard Aurora joke/tease. "Thanks, for agreeing to help me with potions." Ronan then looked at Aurora once more as she mentioned learning wandless magic, something that he was good at, not the best but he could do most things wandlessly having been taught by James' dad. "If you want help with learning wandless magic, all you have to do is ask." He offered since it wouldn't hurt to help and he thought it might even be a fair trade for her helping him with potions. 

[Deleted]

Harry Potter. The boy, or well, man who defeated one of the greatest wizards of all time. Bad, bad wizard, but powerful nonetheless. But that was different, Voldemort was fighting for something selfish. He was greedy. Her family. They were different. Her father took pleasure in torture and having the upper hand. And tradition was one important thing. But to see her father up against the man that lived… That would be something. Aurora looked at Ronan. She was a bit speechless. She didn’t really know how to respond to his statement. Other than the fact that Aurora would be left with literally nothing if James did end up getting bored and move onto the next. Any romantic association with Potter would result in being disowned nonetheless. She’d become Andromeda Tonks and Sirius Black. Other than the fact that she’d be poor, it wasn’t as bad as it sounded… Aurora couldn’t believe any of this. “Consider me speechless Ronan.” She looked down and turned away from him.

Ronan let out a grin that made it impossible for Aurora to keep a straight face or smirk. A smile formed on her lips instead. “Oh classes are going to be interesting now.” She rolled her eyes playfully. She was noticed. James was bound to join her at her spot once or twice and becoming friends with Finnigan (which she was excited about) would serve to be something entertaining and unbelievable. Aurora’s blue eyes took in his expression and words. “You know wandless?” she said her eyes getting bigger, eager. “Potion help for wandless help? How about that?” she said quickly. Aurora was not going to give up an opportunity to learn something especially something she wanted to learn badly. The girl smiled. “I guess having friends outside of my house and Slytherin isn’t so bad.” She teased once more.

[Deleted]

“Oh classes are going to be interesting now.” Ronan let out a laugh when he heard this. He noticed that Aurora was smiling. He could tell it was a true smile, and that it would be the first of many if he had anything to say about it. “You can bet on it.” As if classes weren’t already interesting. Especially all of the ones that James and Ronan were in together. They would become even more interesting since he had something that he could constantly tease James about, but he would make sure it was within in reason so as not to get on the bad side of anyone. He smirked as he thought about the fun he could have with this. It was a smirk that not many people realized that he was up to something. But maybe Auror would. And if she asked him not to do it he wouldn’t, well he would try not to.

Ronan could only grin at the look on Aurora’s face as he said he would help her learn wandless magic. It was priceless, she was definitely a true Ravenclaw always eager to learn. But then yet again he couldn’t blame her, learning wandless magic was something incredible and it was an amazing experience. “Yes I know wandless magic.” And there he had it like he was hoping, wandless magic help for potions help. “Sounds like a fair trade to me.” What was said next almost caught him off guard. “I guess having friends outside of my house and Slytherin isn’t so bad.” Ronan could tell that she was teasing, but at the same time he had never expected that she didn’t have many friends outside of her own House. Well that was also going to change. “Nope it is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.” He teased back. Ronan was having fun, and was glad that he had this chance to get to know Aurora.

“Oh and as for learning wandless magic, when would you like to start?” It would take some time for her to learn it but, he figured that she was a fast learner like himself. But he wanted to see how eager how she was to learn it, and that is why he had posed the question.
