[attr="class","SScontent2temp1"] Aurora turned in her covers, sweat beating down her face and back. She turned again. In her head was playing the events that took place while gone.

Aurora was slipped a truth serum during afternoon tea. What started as a friendly father/daughter moment, turned into an interrogation. “Have you been spending time with James Potter?” “Yes.” “In what matter were you two involved in?” “I was to tutor him.” “Did he ask you to the ball?” “Yes.” “Did you accept?” “Technically, no.” “Were you going to accept?” “Technically, yes.” “Do you understand the choice?” “I do.” “Do you care?” “No.” “What do you think about blood purity?” “The hell with it!” “Will you accept your engagement when you graduate?” “No” “Why not?” “It is barbaric way to live.” “Do you believe in the values and morals I have structured your life with?” “No.” “Are you my daughter?” “Yes.” “So you are to do what you are told until you leave, yes?” “Then I shall leave.” “You will have no future.” “I will.” “Not as a Lestrange.” “I do not care.” “One last question: What are your thoughts on the eldest Potter?” “I have developed an infatuation to the young man and will act according to such.” That was when Aurora felt for the first time in her life the toture curse.

She dropped her tea and fell to the ground clenching her chest with one hand and supporting herself with the other. “Do you regret your decisions and move to rethink your chosen beliefs?” The pain stopped. Aurora gasped for air, “No.” The wand was pointed at her another spell hit her. But this time, Aurora woke up. She was in bed and shivering. She ran a delicate hand through her raven locks before looking at her wind up clock. It was midnight. She was maybe asleep for an hour. The girl sighed and sat up. It was quiet in the dorm but she could hear some people in the common room.

Aurora grabbed her cloak and slippers and headed out. Everyone settled down she appeared. They looked at her as she exited the common room. Aurora could hear the whispers before the hole was sealed.

The castle was incredibly cold and lacked the attention of people. “You do realized you are throwing everything away for a boy who will give you up in a heart beat?” “Isn’t it exciting?” Another curse. Aurora flinched at the memory. A truth serum forced her to speak the truth but what compelled her to say each answer in the way she did? What that truly how she felt? What she thought? The brunette continued to walk until she found herself outside of Professor Longbottom’s office.

Neville Longbottom. He was the last person to show kindness to the girl and ended up being the first to offer peace. He was also one of little who saw her and saw her innocent. Maybe that was the reason she stood in front of the door. She had nowhere else to go and after contacting Harry Potter, he assured her Neville was the person to go to. So that was where she went. Aurora hesitated. What would he do? What would he think? The girl knocked on the door before dipping her head down and folding her hands behind her back. She waited patiently.
