Ariana slipped into the ballroom, quite as a mouse. She used to take dance classes such as, ballet, hip hop, classical, contemporary. But ever since she came to Hogwarts Ariana didn't have anytime to practice, so she decided instead of going to lunch she would go to the ballroom. Ariana stepped out of her boots and into a pair of ballet slippers. Shedding her long black cloak, Ariana decided she would practice ballet. She put her hair up into a messy-bun and began to hum to a song from " the nutcracker." Twirling around the room, Ariana was careful not to make too much noise. She didn't want to get caught doing something she wasn't supposed to. A couple minutes later Ariana had taken of her grey sweater that went with her uniform, leaving her in a black skirt and a white blouse. Forgetting to be quite, Ariana spun with the grace of a swan. Ariana was usually clumsy, but when she was dancing nothing could stop her from spinning. Ariana danced and danced and danced, for the first time in months, she felt free. Ariana spun across the ballroom, completed a Grand jeté and finished in an Arabesque. Sighing happily, but breathing hard, Ariana stood up and smiled.

Guess who was back again for at least the 50th time? Min-seoooooo. She had her bag, pointe shoes, water, and music. Whenever she'd come in, it'd usually be quiet and no one was there. She walked down the hall and came in front of the huge double doors. She opened them quietly only to see another girl in there. She tilted her head to the side. The other girl had a caramel messy bun atop her head and was humming a song to the Nutcracker. She was pretty good. She wondered if the other girl had pointe shoes yet. I mean, there's nothing wrong with flats, but did her dance teacher teach her differently than Min-seo? Probably. She snuck by onto the bench and slipped her pointe shoes onto her delicate, small feet. She tied the light pink ribbons onto her slim legs. The girl was quite small at 4'4. She had her long ink black hair in a plaited braid flowing down her back. Her eyes were like a doe's, a deep brown with golden specks around them. Her clothing consisted of an off the shoulder gray shirt and black shorts with cream tights underneath them. She set up her stuff and music. She turned back towards the other girl. SHe clapped lightly. "Very good. Would you like to have music instead of just humming?" she asked with a small smile.

Ariana whirled around, surprised. " hi! i didn't realize anyone else was in here! and to answer your question, it would be nice to have music." Ariana said, smiling sheepishly. The girl had inky-black hair, large brown beautiful eyes and a pretty smile. " i'm Ariana. Jackson. Ariana Jackson, at your service." She said curtsying. She then noticed the pointe shoes on the new girls feet. " do you dance too? your shoes are sooo much better than mine! i left mine at home sadly, and i'm waiting for my parents to owl them to me!" Ariana said admiring the pink silk ties. " Obviously, your a dancer, but what type do you do? For me it's ballet, classical and hip hop.. but i want to learn more contemporary dance, my aunt teaches it at a university in america." Ariana rambled. " I have way too many aunts. and uncles. and cousins... the list goes on and on. I'm from ! where are you from? wait, was that too personal? im sooo sorry? am i making you uncomfortable? am i talking too much? if im talking too much just tell me to; ' shut up' or ' be quite' or ' calm down' and i hopefully will." a

Min-seo smiled. "I thought so." she said. The other girl introduced herself as Ariana. Jackson. Right, Ariana Jackson. Pleasure to meet you Ariana. My name is Min-seo. Min-seo Kim. If it's too hard to pronounce, Min is just fine." she said in a smooth voice. Just then, Ariana was shooting multiple questions at Min-seo and she had a hard time keeping up to the extroverted girl. "Why yes, I do dance. The types of dance I do? Well, I do ballet and contemporary mostly, but I can dance to mostly anything." Well, that answered the question about the flats instead of pointe shoes. She looked at Ariana as she admired her shoes. "Well, I never really thought of them being better, although my Godfather did by the best for me...." she said. Ariana started to talk about her family. Gosh, this girl talked a lot. Min-seo chuckled as the girl rambled. "You have nothing to worry about, Ari, can I call you that? You're not making me uncomfortable, just calm down and take breaths in between sentences. I'm from South Korea. I lived there until my parents and little sister died in a fire. My brother and I moved here and we've been here ever since." she said with a sad smile. She walked over to the music. "Do you want to choose music?"

Ariana twirled a lose strand of her caramel colored hair. " nice to met you too" ariana said with a cheerful smile. " you have a pretty name y'know! It really is. And yes you can cal me Ari, if you would like." Ariana smiled, but stopped when she heard about min's younger sister and parents. Feeling sad for the girl she debated over hugging her or ignoring it so she wouldn't be upset. Going with the first option. Ariana threw her arms around min-seo, hugging her. she quickly let go and said; " sorry, but maybe we should start with swan lake?" Ariana suggested a song, smiling. " Also, how old is your brother? does her go here? if so, what house is he in? or did he already graduate?" Ariana said, changing the subject wanting her to feel happy, not upset. Ariana thought back to when her cousin died in a duel, it was truly heart-wrenching and it took ariana forever to recover from the shock. Worse yet, when she found out it was his best friend who killed her cousin, she was furious! but back to the present. Ariana reminded herself she was not alone and looked over at min-seo.

Min-seo smiled softly. The other girl was super energetic, slightly different than her aura, which was elegant and relaxed, although she could get excited, for sure. ”Thank you Ari, your name is pretty too.” she thought that the other girl was an extremely nice person to talk to so far. Just then, Ari launches herself at Min-seo as she told her about her parents. Min-seo jumped for she was very surprised, but she loved hugs, so she hugged her back. She let go and Ari said sorry. Min shook her head with a smile. ”Don’t worry about it, I love hugs.” she said, still smiling at the very energetic girl. Min-seo smiled and grabbed the music. ”Lovely. I’ll just do one from the first act that I love, is that alright?” she asked softly. Min turned to Ari again. ”My brother? He’s lovely, and he’s 15 years old and in Ravenclaw. He’s a 5th year, and he always takes care of me, along with my Godfather, Jin. I owe my life to him. He saved me that day in the fire. But never mind, let’s not focus on me and my life. What about your family? Are they nice there?” she asked.
