The sound of the train's horn woke Aurora up from her sleep. She smiled to herself, reminiscing about her dream.

It was a memory.

A memory of her, Lyra, and Iris's first year at Hogwarts; when they were on the Hogwarts Express for the first time.

It felt like ages ago, she thought, rubbing her eyes.

"Good sleep?" George Weasley asked her. "You seemed to have liked it."

Aurora nodded, smiling. "Yeah, it was very good." She looked around the booth.

Fred, Iris, and Cedric were all still there, but Lyra was gone.

"Where's-?"

"Lynx?" Fred asked quietly, trying not to wake Iris or Cedric. "She left to join the Slytherins."

"She thought it would be better for her to resolve everything before the year started." George finished.

There was a moment of silence.

"Oh," Aurora uttered. She thought back to what Lyra had said back in first year.

You guys will always be closer than anyone here. I promise.

Guess not, she thought, sighing.

Aurora understood her relationship that she had with Malfoy...at least mostly, but she just wished Lyra would spend more time with her and Iris.
