Only a week until Christmas! Give or take a couple of days, but it was all the same for the dirty-blonde Hufflepuff. Point is, there were only five days left of the term and more importantly— classes. After that, finally a well deserved break. Harley still found it unfair how they didn't have half-term off like at muggle schools. Seriously, what was that about? Nearly four months without a break was insane! Almost as insane as forbidding electronics on the premises... though he had got over that by now... mostly.
There was one place at Hogwarts he wanted to see before the holidays, however. The rehearsal room. Sure, he wasn't all that talented at the performing arts, he was more of a regular arts kinda lad. But still, there was no harm in wanting to see what the place was like.
So there he went, up the grand staircase all the way to the fourth floor— a mighty trek if there ever was one. He never really had an incentive to come here before, though. Duelling wasn't his favourite pastime, potentially hurting others simply didn't sit well with him. Neither were grand balls and the like— too posh for his liking.
At least the rehearsal room gave him a reason, even if only to see it just this once as he slid through the massive, ornate doors. Wow. His gaze was immediately drawn to the chandelier at the centre of the domed ceiling— CRASH!
Suddenly, he found himself on the nicely polished floor next to a brown haired girl with intriguing streaks of golden strands meticulously blended in. His arm ached from accidentally bumping into her, and from falling on the hard, wooden floorboards.
"God! I'm so sorry." He yelped, glancing over at the girl, quickly getting himself up and offering her a hand.

Quinn walked toward the rehearsal room, wanting to practice dance one last time before she went home for break. The rehursal room had been visited many times by Quinn who had enjoyed spinning around the floor and dancing in the wide open space. She was excited to go home for break and spend time with her family. She was sad that she got less time off then when she went to elementary school. Quinn was also excited to use her electronics again. Muggle technology didn't work on campus because magic interfered with it.
Quinn opened the doors to the rehearsal room and crept in. Mid-day light shown from the windows. Quinn sat down and stretched for a few minutes to loosen up her muscles. Quinn remembered the first time she had come in she had been thinking about acting. Quinn loved performing arts though she never got around to playing an instrument. Quinn quickly tested her ankles by going on her toes and walking around on them for a few seconds. Aproving of her ankle strength, Quinn eased herself into her favorite hornpipe (a type of dance within irish dance) by leaping across the floor and spinning around. Quinn did a spin and moved herself forward before slamming right into someone.
Quinn was flung backward and landed on the cold, hard, floor. Quinn groggily looked around at who she had run into for a second before the boy came into view. He had curly blond hair and bright blue eyes.
"God! I'm so sorry." He yelped and lent a hand offering to help her up. That's nice of him. Quinn thought as she grabbed his hand and heaved herself up.
"Your fine, I wasn't looking were I was going." Quinn said dusting herself off.
"I'm Quinn by the way." She said. Quinn looked at the boy. I wonder what he was doing here. She thought.
"Are you here to practice dance?" She asked.

Well, he did it again. Wandering, clueless and what a shock— bumping into something— or in this case, someone! He flashed her a crooked smile as she accepted his hand. "I'm Harley. Nice to meet ya." His South Yorkshire accent peeked through his words. "Uhm, no, not really." He gave her a half-baked answer. 'Not at all' would've been closer to the truth. Frankly, he couldn't whip out some moves if his life depended on it in a final dance-off, or something. "Just checking the place out." He glanced up and around the room, still marvelled by the ornate chandelier.
"Am guessing you dance though?" Captain obvious, as if she didn't just barrel into him mid-spin. His smile widened as he glanced her up and down. Crazy how he didn't notice she was in here when he entered. Then again, taking in the scenery preoccupied him. Hogwarts never failed to impress him, even after three months of being here. Truth be told, it probably never will.
He tilted his head to the side with a glint of curiosity in his bright blue eyes. "Can you show me what you were doing?" She must've really been into it, not noticing him and all. Also, who wouldn't want to see some dance moves? Even if he had absolutely no clue what kind of dance she did, it was certain to impress his talentless self.
