I sat up in my bed the sun rays beamed in through my window and into my fragile morning eyes; I squinted and put my hand over my face to protect it from the sun. Looked around my room and then through my legs over my bed and stoop up. I warped my doona around myself and headed for the door but before I could make it I tripped over some clothes I had left on the flaw just the night before. I hit the ground with a loud thud unable to stop my fall with my hand because they got caught in the doona, "awch!" I said out loud rubbing my head.
"Awch" I said again as I felt a sharp pain in my head. I looked around to find my sister had opened the door and my head was in the way.
"Oh I see you're awake" she said with a giggle in her voice.
"Yeah, how did you tell me hitting the flaw or you using my head as a door stopper" I said now rubbing the other side of my head,
"Little bit of both, what do you want of breakfast? And I have to go soon so get ready" she said with a I-don't-trust-you-on-your-own tone in her voice.
"I'm not hungry and why do I have to go with you the Ministry is boring and the Auror office is even worse you'd think every one would be out catching bad people but all you do all day is sit around" I said in a nagging voice.
"Aroura!" she yelled,
"Nymphadora!" I yelled back as a tease.
"Don't call me-"
"Nymphadora yeah, yeah I catch your flow bro I'm mean sis" I babbled.
Oh I just realized you don't know who I am yet, ill tell you now. My name is Aroura Tonks daughter of Teddy and Andromeda Tonks sister of Nymphadora Tonks (but I think if I call her Nymphadora again she will rip of my head with her bare hands). I'm 11 and if I guess correctly I should be getting my acceptance to Hogwarts any day now I hope. I have brown hair but I'm a metamorphous so I can change it to what ever I want and I'm suppose to have deep blue eyes but I always change it to a lavender color.
"Well fine you can stay but as long as you don't blow up the house again" she said giving me the evil eye, as we walked down the stairs and into the hall.
"That was one time! And I only blew up half of it and I came out of it alive and I fixed the house before mum saw it but she still had to be coming to see us that day didn't she, I'm surprised I didn't get in trouble for using magic, but eh, I haven't started school yet so I guess it wouldn't have mattered. Anyway thank you now as you said before you need to go now" I said pushing her out the front door.
"But, wait, you need to-"she said but before she could finish what she was going to say I shut the door on her face, I knew she was going to kill me for that later.
I went into the kitchen and looked into the fridge for something to have for breakfast. I couldn't find any thing so I didn't bother and I just sat in a char and waited for the mail it had turned into a habit of mine now I wanted that Hogwarts letter so badly and it was agony waiting for it.
Before long I heard some shallow screeches and raced to the window and sure enough there was my owl flying towards the house.
CRASH! She flew into the window.
"Every time! Why do u do that every time? Are you really that stupid? You going to have brain damage before you can meat a nice male owl" I said pulling the letters out of the beak.
I started flicking through them "Tonks, Tonks, Tonks, oooo me, yay" I said ripping the letter open I knew it wasn't the Hogwarts letter I hoped for but there was a lot more letters to look through.
I read the letter out loud, yet another habit I had picked up on.
Dear Aroura,
I haven't seen you in a while and was thinking maybe we should catch up. I got my Hogwarts letter today and need to go to diagon ally tomorrow; would you think you could meet me there or something? You will probably need to get some stuff to, so it's a win, win situation. Afterwards we could go get a Butterbeer if you're up to it.
Write back soon
From Corey
"Oh god Corey you sound so desperate, I'm shocked you didn't sign it with love at the end" I said.
Corey and his family where close friends of the Tonks family and I've know Corey since I was about 1 year old and he has had a massive crush on me for ages, its settled down over the years, don't get me wrong I love him to death though I'm not sure I love him like that but if I did go out with him the bonus was he was pretty hot.
I returned to flicking through my letters once again.
"Tonks again, again and again and… me. Oh…my…god…" I said reading the front of the letter.

"Wooohooo I'm going to Hogwarts, I'm going to Hogwarts" dancing around the kitchen while my owl was looking at me like I'm crazy "gotta write back to Corey, why am I talking to myself?" I said before racing up stares to the study to find a peace of parchment and a quill and ink
Dear Corey,
I just got my Hogwarts letter this morning, well about 5 seconds ago. I would love to meet you in Diagon ally, and yes it would be an awesome to get a Butterbeer afterwards. I think my sister needs to get something's there anyway, so that means I have a ride and I'll most probably stay with you all day so I don't get bored to death.
See you tomorrow
From Aroura.
I ran back down stares with the letter attached it to midnight's (my owl's) leg and she flew of out of sight.
I went to my room and got changed I was going to the ministry of magic to see Tonks and tell her about what happened and just walk around for a bit.
Once I was dressed I was about to walk out of the door before my foot got caught in the door frame and I tripped. Luckily I didn't have a doona around me this time so I stopped my head from hitting the flaw by just putting my hands out.
"Oh come on! Today of all days to be clumsy, I'm mean seriously" I said standing up straight.
I walked over to the fire place and grabbed a hand full of flue powder and said where I needed to go and before I knew it I was in one of the ministry's fire places. I walked out know doubt once I did someone else would appear.
I went to the Auror office and headed over to the front desk.
"Hello how may I help you" said the lady who worked at the front desk.
"Hi I was wondering if you know where Nymphadora Tonks is." I asked looking around.
"Yes she's just through those doors to the right" she said mapping out where I needed to go with her hands
"Ok thank you" I went to leave but once again I tripped and it happened so fast I didn't have time to stop myself I shut my eyes and waited for the pain. But it never happened I realized someone had cached me I looked around I found out how it was.
"Kinglsy, hello" I said standing up straight once again,
"Hello Aroura I saw you and came over as fast as I could I some how knew you'd trip you always do" he said laughing. As he said that I could feel my face going red with embarrassment.
"Yeah really I'm that bad you just guess it now?" I said now smiling as well.
"Don't worry your sisters just the same must run in the family. I thought you weren't coming in today anyway, well that's what your sister said" he said.
"Yeah well, I wasn't but then I was. So I'm here now and should go see her. Talk to you later," I said
"Ok tell her I said hi" he said walking away.
I went into the part of the Auror office where my sister was. I sore Tonks filling paper work.
"See I told all you lot do all day is file and write, where's the action women?" I said. Tonks lifted up her head.
"Oh hello, what are you doing here" she said.
"Just coming to tell you I need to go to diagon ally tomorrow ok because I got my Hogwarts letter finally" I said smiling.
"Ok cool, but you really need to go home you can't just wonder around the ministry all day go on Ill talk to you when I get home ok" she said rushing me of
"You've got a lunch date don't you who is it?" I said.
"Ok yes I do and it's just someone I will tell you later ok go now please" she said pleading me to leave.
"Alright but you owe me ok" I said thinking of ways I can black mail her.
"No I don't, I never do, now go, before you get me into trouble. Good-bye Aroura"
"See ya" I left the ministry and headed home…
