It was still September, and Norena missed her family very much. The family banquets, the musical shows she gave to her family... Oh, how she missed her violin! Even though she had only recently been at Hogwarts, Norena dreamed of returning home to make music, to spend her days in the mansion raving about the paintings, spending her time with her family... Anyway, she was bored and she had a hard time getting used to life at Hogwarts.

But it was at that moment that in her dormitory, the young Slytherin remembered that in her trunk, at the foot of her bed was her violin, in its case, wisely stored there, waiting for the young girl to take it out to play a little. It was Márquez, the butler, who had taken the time to place it in one of his suitcases, as if he knew that Norena would have wanted to play it. A smile appeared on her face and she took the instrument.

After putting on a jacket, the young girl went up to the fourth floor (a good step for her health) to the rehearsal room. She was happy to see that no one was there at the time she was there. This guaranteed her peace and quiet for at least a few minutes, which she could only love. But it was only when she opened the box of her violin that she realized that she had no score in her possession and therefore no longer had the possibility to play it.

"젠장 Shit!" She let slip in her native language, while she was desperately looking for something to play. She couldn't have walked thirty minutes for any reason! She could do more than one thing: create her own musical score. Without wasting a single second, she went in search of ink and blank parchment to start writing. But at that moment, she didn't know that she wasn't alone in that room...

Hogwarts being so grand was unexpected, yet all Julienna could hope for. It was the complete opposite of her home— Somewhere so quaint and grounded. Well, before she had left, though, she had remembered to bring all her favorite storybooks. Some trinkets she'd collected over the years, and a few of her favorite music scores from home. Little things to remind Julienna of her mother, mostly, while she was someplace intimidating and unfamiliar.

Though, she hadn't brought anything like that this time. Julienna had her mind on just one thing, as she hopped down the stairs from the Gryffindor Tower, to the fourth floor. Earlier, within the bustling corridors, she had overheard some students rambling about a Rehearsal Room. Something like that, would definitely be enough to keep her hooked on this new life. Ever since then, that thought had been stuck in the back of her mind, like some dust bunny. So, here she was now, walking through the dimmed halls with a soft bounce in her step.

Sometimes Julienna would think back to when she would sit in front of the keys for hours. She would stare it down, as if it were some mythical creature she just couldn't understand. Even nowadays, she much preferred just writing her own music instead. Which was why, today, she had brought a whole bunch of stuff. Sheets of parchment, and other such supplies overflowing from the bookbag that was slung over her shoulder.

As she's skipping down the hall, Julienna was startled out of her thoughts by a muffled exclamation behind one of the doors, one that she didn't understand or recognize. She stops in her tracks. Huh? Was someone else here, too?

She swings open the heavy door, revealing an elegant-looking room. Must have been the one she was looking for, since there was a violin, and another girl. Julienna can't tell if she's intruding on something, so she steps into the room carefully, waving a hand to get the girl's attention. "Hey, uh, need anything?"

Norena's entire life was based on the impressions she made on others. Being the heiress of a great witch importing family was easy on the surface but Norena always had to make good impressions, be polite, perfect and proud. She could be talkative and completely silent, but one day, that was no longer enough. What was Ji-Seo and Joon's only daughter capable of? It was true that Norena had never proven her worth, but she was young. And a child should have a beautiful and quiet childhood, not like Nore's.

So for a long time she had a lot of pressure on her shoulders. The pressure to be able to do a lot of things, the pressure to be perfect. She quickly learned to speak fluent English, had political discussions at the age of ten and she had learned to play violin. Norena hated the violin for a long time. It hurt from practicing, she didn't have fun like other children learning an instrument. She was treated like a freak at family dinners, where she had to play. But she got used to it and by playing in front of others, she had built up a certain pride and now, she was starting to have fun. The violin is now part of her daily life.

And so, finding herself there with her violin but with nothing to do, nothing to be proud of and nothing to have fun with, she felt deprived of a part of herself. She noticed the presence of a young girl - probably a first year like her - in the room and she felt like she was saved. Maybe she had the slightest piece of music, or maybe just a piece of parchment paper...

So she asked her gently and hopefully (for the first time in her life): "Hmm, do you have any parchment? Or maybe a piece of music?"

Julienna nods excitedly. She would have been perfectly content lying around on the ground and maybe writing something nice to play until she eventually tired of it, just like she had always done as a kid, to pass the time. But since there was finally someone here to hang out with, all she could want now was a little more time in the world. As much time as she could ever want to get to know this new potential friend. What, potentially? No, she'll definitely like me, Julienna beams, more determined than ever to make the most of the time she spends with this girl. Just enough to be my friend!

"Yeah! I have parchment right here," she replies sweetly, before rifling through the bag at her hip, where there were ten ever-so-slightly crumpled pages of parchment and a few pencils. Julienna couldn't help but look forward to the next few hours. That said, nothing inspiring had stood out to her at all so far. In the mess that was her first week at Hogwarts, she had no time at all to even consider thinking about writing music. A shame— Now that she was here, she wished she had thought about it sooner, so she wasn't standing here with nothing but a blank mind and pages of empty parchment. Still, no use getting herself down now!

"Hey, now you should totally help me!" Julienna insists. Someone to talk to was just what she needed! She has her parchment held tightly in her hands and steps closer to the girl to make sure she had even been paying attention. "Stay and write with me, okay?" She just wanted to know more about her, about what kind of person she was, almost as much as she wanted to hear her play something. Now, Julienna just hoped the girl was as excitable as her; If not to get along, then at least to avoid having an awkward encounter.
