she waits patiently, ignoring the amused smile and small talk made by albus dumbledore. she doesn't care what the man has to say about her intrusion. draco said he wasn't coming home for the holidays, and that was something she couldn't stand to take. her mind wandered, thinking of the various things she had picked up over the years for when this inevitability happened. oh. their pyjamas. she'd have to send one of their house elves to get another matching set to embroider her name on it. send the rest to gather gifts and wrap them for their new guest.

she tilts her head when the door opens, looking over at her son when he greets her. "that's fine, darling. it gives us a chance to talk." she toward him, glancing at all of the portraits in the headmasters office. "next time you wish to to keep @bornofthedawn company, do not lie about it," hazel eyes move to look at him -- head turning with her gaze with a stern tone, "nor lie to me about it." once in front of him, she reaches up to move a lock of his hair back into place while the other picks a piece of lint from his shoulder. "and don't you ever make me lie for you again, do you understand?"

oh, aurora thought. he hadn't lied after all, but misunderstood his mother. no wonder he chosen to stay here, aurora can't imagine he wanted to bring her home with him. the beauty felt a twinge of disappointment knowing it wasn't out of some sort of caring for her, though, aurora knew she should've known better. she pursed her lips, setting down the tart — before her eyes widened at @potentialbreakupscng's orders. her? at malfoy manor for christmas? aurora was no stranger to draco's home, having been there off and on throughout the years when needed to make appearances with her parents. but this felt strangely more intimate then before, and she was surprised to be invited. no, told she was going.

aurora wasted no time, returning the soft smile in draco's direction before they headed off to the dormitories — she didn't even know where to begin packing, she wasn't ready! his touch stopping her snapped her out of her thoughts, and that twinge of disappointment was back. perhaps he really didn't want her to go. " oh, it's fine . . . i don't want to disappoint your mom, besides . . . " she shrugged her shoulders, trying to be as nonchalant as possible. " — sounds better then being stuck here. " she flashed a saddened smile his way. that was honest. now that draco had stayed behind with her, she no longer cared for the idea of the lonely nights and days in the common room or the library.

" if you get to the office before me, apologize to your mother for me — i don't have anything ready for leaving. " she said before turning and running off to her dormitory, almost excitedly.
