Oh, thank you so much for this, mystery author! The pairing you came up with is one I'd never have thought of, but it works perfectly. I've often wondered about the teachers we don't know much of — what were they thinking and doing during the DH year? Aurora is a good choice to explore that, and I like where you've put her, silently supporting the side of good, but too acutely aware of the risks to speak out. Heroic? No. But realistic. The neutral face she shows to others lets them see in her what they want to see.
I really like how you wrote Pansy, showing her vulnerabilities without whitewashing her. Seeing her from Aurora's perspective, it's striking how young she is, still with a bit of the teenage flair for the dramatic, and just starting to grow up enough to understand the dark side of her desire for power. She is so very morally adrift, but seems to know on some level that she needs something to hold onto.
Don't worry about it not being kinky enough; for me the kink is the slow build, the secrecy and growing intimacy, and that it takes time to get there. That is very hot to me and you got exactly what I wanted when I prompted it. Thank you. ♥
