Ramirez had very long garden, but Linda took Ara to one part of it where they could plant orchids. She also changed her clothes and was wearing gloves. Here were different flowers and nice view.

Linda was wondering why she wasn't that talkative as she usually was. They were planting orchids and Linda decided to ask Ara something. "Do you like planting? It's just a small part of our garden, do you like it? I adore spending time here. But you are first from Hogwarts to come here. It looks even more nice at night. Roads between plants and trees are lighting in a nice beautiful way. You will see it from your room."

Linda noticed that Ara was zoning out sometimes. She didn't know the reason but didn't want to ask as well. It's not something people would discuss, right?

Linda was relaxed and happy. She always felt so here. "At night when sky was shining from stars, roads in the garden are shining like glitter. Some plants are giving light and above one field you can hear calm nice melody. It helps to sleep better."Linda smiled after saying that. It was really special view that must be seen. Hopefully Ara will like it as much as she does.

Linda lead Ara to a part of her garden to part the orchids. Ara gave half the seeds to Linda to plant. Orchids are actually her favourite flower, that's the main reason she wanted to plant em'.

After Linda asked if she liked planting and some other info, Ara replied with "Well I like planting as a hobby. You know? In our house in Japan, we plant sweet potatoes, hydrangeas, plum blossoms, we have a few cheery blossom trees, and more. Its nice being the first one from Hogwarts to come, it makes it special" Ara shared while looking up as if she was talking to the sky.

"The lights seem nice as well. What you said about the stars is quite poetic. This view is wonderful too"

After her reply, Ara started humming a tune. She doesn't know where it came from, she just knows it. No one taught it to her. She knows how to play it on her instruments as well. Ara is quite talented with music but she does it only as a hobby and for fun, she doesn't plan to make it into anything serious like a career since it was uncertain. 'Maybe Linda likes music too? I brought my guitar for some reason' the ravenette thought as she glanced at the girl.

"I'd like to see blossom tree one day. I heard it's very beautiful." Linda said while looking at orchids they were planting. She heard from one of her friends who visited Japan before stories about blossom tree and food and nature. It sounded very interesting, maybe Linda would visit Japan one day. She liked planting as sort of hobby. She also dreamed about traveling. Did Ara travel before? "Have you ever traveled to somewhere?"

She looked up as well as Ara while she said about view and smiled. Everything here was wonderful. It was one of her favorite places where should could spend time. Another one was home library and then some places in Hogwarts.

After getting back from her thoughts, Linda heard Ara making some nice tune. She stood up, took off gloves and went quickly to one close part of the garden. After some seconds she already came back with her guitar and started to play quietly Ara's tune. No, she didn't plan to make it hers and she didn't hear it before. She just liked it, so she thought she'll play it a bit, hoping that Ara wouldn't mind.

She liked music and she liked to play guitar and piano. Though guitar was more often. It was just hobby. She never thought to make it more serious even though she created her own melodies. She thought for a second that she saw Ara having guitar as well. If it was so, then they also shared love for music. So, they were kinda close, right?

Ara noticed a guitar strumming to her tune and looked back to see that Linda had her guitar and was playing it. "Oh. You know how to play too?" she asked. The girl knew how to play a bunch of instruments as well. Ara finished planting her part of the orchids and took her gloves off. "I'm done with my orchids, how about you?" The ravenette looked at the other girl who was holding a guitar. She stood up and held her hand out, "Do you have more instruments in your house? We can play together if you want to" she offered with her calm face.

It is actually the first time she's doing something like that, offering to do something together, something about Linda made her a bit more open. She changed a bit in this little visit. Ara became more relaxed and friendlier. It might be hard for her to keep this up but she knows, if she wants to survive in this world, she needs friends or allies who can back her up. After all, her family won't be there for her always. Linda is now her first partner in crime and ally in this cruel and hard world.

"Yeah. I'm playing guitar and piano. Though I'm opened to learn something else. What about you?" Linda smiled. It was going to be another great opportunity for them to share something together. Music. Was music really making people closer? Linda didn't know, but it definitely changes now their relationship.

"I finished them too."
Linda looked at the part where were planted their orchids. It looked awesome and was ideal for it. "There is room for music close to your room. There's more instruments. You can find there anything, so most likely you will find something you like to play on. Also we can bring here another instrument if you want to play here."

Linda paused looking enthusiastic. Playing together was a really awesome idea. Beside it was first time when Ara offered something for them to do. It was good, right? It was certainly a good sign. Maybe this trip really could make them closer and let Ara feel more comfortable with her. Linda gave Ara guitar while standing up. It needed to be taken to the house anyway."Let's go."

She looked at Ara quickly with a warm smile. She could feel that now they became more than family friends. Now they were starting to trust each other and feel more relaxed. At least Linda felt so and could see that Ara became more fine around her.

Oh, sound from anime I was planning to watch 🤩
Also it's fine, take your time

'Its nice to know that Linda knows how to play instruments...I brought my here violin for some reason because I felt like it' Ara thought. Linda finished speaking. "I can play many I guess, guitar, piano, violin, drums, ukelele, the flute, and the recorder." She replied. At that moment she just realized how many instruments she can actually play. "Nice, you're done. About the room...can we go there?" Ara was still holding Linda's guitar and was holding it with care.

Linda looked at Ara with a warm smile. She tried to smile at her too but it looked a bit forced...Oh well... The ravenette looked at the other girl, waiting for an answer with her 'formal events looking face' since she didn't know what expression should she use while waiting for a response. Although Ara's tired eyes eyes didn't really change one bit in the trip, her expression changed without it. She has a natural angry/ frowning face and doesn't really mind to change it but now with Linda she's trying to look nicer.

Ara is very fond of music but likes many things besides that too. Maybe Linda would like fencing or horse riding? Maybe Ara should invite Linda to her house sometime too?

Ara looked around the room full of instruments. She was amazed and smiled a bit. She saw a piano. Ara tried a few notes on it first. 'It sounds good' she thought. The ravenette looked around and knew there was something there, something that she can't see. But she can't put her finger on it. Ara just let it slide for now but she kept up her guard. She knew that Linda would tell her if there was... probably.

The girl played a small part of the song "Teardrops on my guitar" by Taylor Swift. How did she know a muggle artist? Her muggle-born aunt gave her a few vinyl by Taylor and a few more muggle artists. "Hey, Linda... Wanna play?" She said, a bit happier than usual. Ara played a short warm-up song to get used to the piano at Linda's house. "What song do you want to play?" she asked Linda. The ravenette was curious about her music taste. Ara's taste involved a bunch of genres. Like pop, country, rock, etc.

The girl remembered the time when she would write songs with her cousin who is now a year at the Japanese wizarding school, Mahoutokoro. Her cousin's name is Kanae, she was the perfect girl. Very bubbly, full of energy. She actually threatened Ara if she didn't make friends at Hogwarts she'd introduce her to someone she knows.

English| thank you for this awesome rp❤
Yeah let's. We could improvise or play together that tune you were playing before. I usually play something on the go without planning. But I like pop, alternative and rock.

She waited Ara to answer and joined her for playing. After playing she looked at watch. Hands were showing that it was kinda late already. It was really nice. We could play more in future if you want. Let's go to sleep now and tomorrow I will show you library.

After that Linda wished Ara good night and went to her room. After sleeping, she woke up on bird calling everyone to breakfast. She stood up, made bed, changed her clothes after washing her face and went to Ara to go together for breakfast.

After breakfast she offered Ara to go to library and went there. The house elves were coming sometimes to bring some snacks or to talk to Linda. She liked listening to their stories and sometimes they were helping her with choosing book.

She looked at Ara, as she let her have some time for her exploring the place and taking any book she felt like reading. It was really great idea to invite you here. I'm happy we could get closer. Do you like it here?

After spending whole day in the library she called Ara to go to the kitchen. Her mom asked Ara if she would like Alex, Linda's father, to drop her somewhere as Linda would stay one more day at home.

After sleeping Linda smiled to Ara and said It was great time. We will meet soon again, have a nice rest of holiday.

At Ramirez's library, Linda asked if Ara liked it at her place. "It's quite nice going to someone's house that isn't family or forced by my parents" she replied.

Later, Ara waved goodbye to Linda and asked to be dropped off at the King's Cross. She was dropped off and went to Platform 9 3/4. There were about 10 minutes left until the train went. The Hogwarts Express wasn't as packed as September since it was still spring break. Ara got a compartment all to herself. She sat near the window and drifted off to sleep. She woke up but she wasn't at Hogwarts yet, a few more hours away. The ravenette got a book and started reading it, it was 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' by Newt Scamander. It was quite a good one actually.

The train stopped at Hogwarts. Ara went into the Great Hall to find her siblings. "How was it?" Her brother, Edmund smirked as he put his arm on her shoulder. Ara rolled her eyes and slapped his hand off, "It was fine" she answered as she sat down. The girl waved to her sister at the Ravenclaw table. 'It was a pleasure meeting you, Linda. Hope to meet you again soon.'
