Aurora nodded at the girl. "I'm glad it doesn't upset you. There are those...." She sighed, wrapping her cloak more tightly around herself. She was getting a little cold. "It's okay if you want to ask me those things. I don't mind, I mean." It had been so long since she'd talked to anyone even close to her age. Even if the girl was ten years younger than she was, she was still closer in age to her than the next youngest teacher on staff... and that was Snape... and they had been sort of friends.
"Please don't feel embarrassed about it," she said, shaking her head. "You can ask me. I'm very open when I'm not at school." And she hadn't been able to be out of school in so long she was close to bursting.
