5th Years

It was mostly her own wishes to be moved to Andy's class, despite anything that Riah said to her. She was scared and that was the bottom line.

Not to mention, it made her Mom more comfortable even though her father had complete trust in Dumbledore.

She raised her hand a bit timidly.

Grinning at the timidity of the girl- he'd had too many straightforward students today for his taste, he said, "Yes, Aurora?"

Aurora nearly blushed that he knew her name. but then again-she was always a little embarrassed when people knew her.

"Um," she started, pulling her hand down and placing it back on her desk, "Er, was it true.. about Professor Lupin?"

She suddenly felt very stupid.

Raising an eyebrow, Andy asked, "Is what true? That he's a Werewolf?"

Aurora nearly hung her head, but she managed to pull it up enough so that her voice could be heard, "No.. the attack. Is that.. um... true?"

Lissa, a fellow Hufflepuff fifth year, nudged Aurora in the arm, but supportively. Their whole group seemed to be wondering the same thing.

Realizing what they were asking, Andy burst out laughing.

"You mean to tell me you believe that obscene rag? They're just stirring up trouble to try to get their name out there. I wouldn't believe a word that thing said if it was 'the sky is blue'."

Aurora had to refrain from covering her hand with her face. She was just about mortified. A few boys from Ravenclaw sniggered behind her.

She slipped lower into her chair, wishing to be invisible now.

Shaking his head at her attempted disappearance, Andy said, "Don't be embarrased to ask a question. Any of you. It takes a lot more courage to ask a controversial question than to sit and laugh at the person who DOES ask it." The last was clearly aimed at the Ravenclaw boys, who looked properly abashed.

"But I'd like that to be made clear. Professor Lupin did not attack a student. Neither will he ever. All of you, please spread that word."

A weak smile crossed Aurora's face and she nodded her head. Never would she say another word against Lupin.
