IT HAD BEEN A LOVELY DAY in the Potter Manor. The morning had consisted of family breakfast, with Euphemia's special chocolate-chipped pancakes and honey glazed bacon.

Well except for the loud crashing coming from James' room everything was fine on that day. A few days ago, the youngest Potter's friends came over to their house. Aurora was not too bothered by the sudden intrusion, but their rowdiness and their mishaps have taken some part of her time from her reading.

She had known James' friends, the Marauders they call themselves. They were notorious in school for being pranksters and she knew each one of them.

Sirius Black was James' best friend who also happens to be a well-known playboy in Hogwarts. He had come to visit the house more than his other friends and they both hadn't bothered her much when it was just the two of them.

Remus Lupin was the one friend of James she talks to the most. The boy was very interesting, to say the least, just last year she had learned that he was a werewolf along with her brother and his friends. That didn't make her dislike him though, she felt saddened that he had to go through those horrid transformations at least every month. He had also been the one to spark her interest in muggle items, like their novels, and so on.

Peter Pettigrew was someone Aurora didn't particularly like. He was a shy boy who stuttered when he talked to her, but she knew he had a good heart. Always there to help out his friends whenever they needed him.

"Rory! Aurora! Do you know where my Comet is? It's not in my room." The brunette sighed to herself, annoyed that the past hour has been ruined by their constant yelling and overall noise coming from the boys. Aurora brought herself out of her comfortable position on her bay window before yanking her door open with a blank look on her face.

The girl made her way to James' room and pulled the door open, immediately regretting it as the stench of someone's barf had gone through her nose. Aurora pinched her nostrils together with her fingers, forcing herself not to barf herself. She looked around the room for her twin brother, seeing him sticking his head inside his closet. The Potter girl rolled her eyes before marching her way to him.

"Honestly James, all I asked was some peace and quiet for today. But you just had to prepare your newest supplies for a stupid prank!"

"I'm sorry Rora! The boys and I just wanted to play some Quidditch outside today! The weather's perfect for one game."

"You said that yesterday and the day before yesterday."

"Well, everyday's a great day to play Quidditch!" Aurora groaned in annoyance, making her way out the door with her lips in a thin line.

"It's downstairs beside the fireplace." The Potter boy grinned happily, poking his head out in the hallway to send a happy smile to his sister.

"Thanks, Rora! I know you love me!"

There was no reply.

The Potter's had gotten themselves ready to go to Diagon Alley to buy the necessities they needed. And well, a gift for both twins for their new roles, Quidditch Captain for James and Prefect for Aurora. Fleamont and Euphemia Potter were both proud to hear their children had gotten these roles, so as a reward they would buy anything they wanted.

But that wasn't the only reason why they were going to Diagon Alley, Aurora's friends were going to meet her here. They hadn't met each other for 2 months and had missed each other, so they had all decided to go shopping around together.

"Mom, I think I see Will. Right there at the Quidditch shop." Euphemia smiled at her daughter, patting her shoulder knowingly before giving her a slight shove towards the direction.

"Ok, Aurora. We'll meet you back at the Leaky Cauldron in 2 hours alright?" With a quick goodbye, the brunette made her way through the crowded alley towards the Quidditch Shop where she had spotted a longtime friend of hers.

The boy had noticed her long messy hair instantly, recognizing its usual style of a messy bun with a loose strand of her hair framing her face. Will had grinned happily at her, putting two fingers up into a mock salute. Rory had rolled her eyes at him, ruffling his hair and smiling slightly back at him.

"Hey Will, were you waiting long?"

"Of course not! You know me, Aurora." The girl huffed, annoyed at the use of her full name. She had slightly shoved the taller boy in front of her, making him tumble a bit with a laugh.

"You know better than to call me that, William. "

The taller boy had laughed at her, wiping a fake tear from his eye with a flick of his finger. He grinned down at her shorter form, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "Little Rory, your so fun to tease. Although, I think it's hilarious when you see the look on Ray's face when we say his fly is open."

A cough from behind them had stiffened Will's stature and Rory's lips to tug a bit to the side. They had both known who that came from, and both had different reactions.

"I'm sorry Will, but I seem to have heard you found it... what was the word? Hilarious, when you trick me." The Macmillan had chuckled nervously, slowly inching away from both of his friends with his hands up as if to say he was innocent.

"I didn't say that... I- Rory did!"

Ray raised an eyebrow questionably at the boy, taking a glance at Aurora. The girl rolled her eyes, already starting to walk away from the two. "Ray you know me, it was him. I'm not one to joke."

And with that, a cat and mouse chase had occurred right there in the middle of the alley. Aurora had fought a smile that had threatened to spread on her face as she continued to walk, heading towards Flourish & Botts to get her new books.

She closed her eyes, relishing in the cool breeze that had swept through her skin. A shoulder had bumped hers accidentally, momentarily catching her off-guard. Aurora's eyes snapped open as she reflexively reached out to the person who she bumped and had been falling.

As if gravity had stopped for a bit, the brunette girl was able to catch the person by their arm before they could collide with the rocky alley. Aurora sighed in relief, slowly helping the person stand upright.

Her eyes had caught the color red from the girl's hair, eyebrows furrowing as she had chosen to look up. Their eyes locked together, warm chocolate meeting with soft emerald green. Aurora's eyes seemed to be stuck on the stranger's features as they roamed her face.

The stranger had so happened to be a girl, someone who looked her age but had been shorter by height. The girl's long fiery hair was flowing down her back like a waterfall, her-

"Oh my Merlin, I am so so sorry. I wasn't looking at where I was going." 

The brunette blinked once at the girl, looking down at her hand that had still been holding the stranger's arm. Slowly, Aurora had let go of the girl's arm, bringing her hand to her sides and bowing her head slightly in apology.

"No, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware of my surroundings. Again I am sorry but I have to go now, have a good day."

With that Aurora bowed her head once more before walking away from the girl, not once looking back.

The girl however watched her go, entranced with the brunette as if she were an angel. The words that had fallen from her lips were the words that would fall once again in a few days...

"How odd, she seems so... mystical."
