Rolling over in her bed for what seemed like the 100th time that night, Nika looked grudgingly out of the window. Watching as the big rain drops hit the window with a soft pitter patter on the window. For some reason she was not able to get to bed it was almost one in the morning and yet here she was awake as anyone ever could be. After lying like this for what felt like a life time Nika swung her legs over the side of her comfy warm bed and took a step into the cold crisp night air. "Why would anyone in there right mind want to get up with this cold weather and walk around?" Nika thought to herself as she threw her robe on and started for the stairs that lead to the common room. Nika hated cold weather, her body just seemed to rebel against it. She always tried to get used to it but her body wouldn’t, it was as though she were actually meant to live in Australia with her aunt.
Nika had been invited to live with her aunt during all the vacation times that she wanted to go down and see her but her parents had said no right away to this. When she found out her parents had turned it down without even consulting her she was enraged. She thought she was old enough to at least have a little say in the matter but her parents seemed to think otherwise. Even though this was a while ago Nika still held a small grudge against them and would bring it up when they were in an argument quite a lot.
Not paying attention to where she was walking she slipped slightly on the way down and barley caught her from falling all the way down the stairs. Reaching the landing to the common room Nika walked all the way threw the common room and into one of the many dark lightly lit hallways.
Walking aimlessly around on the 7th floor until she saw an empty class room unlocked Nika went inside and shut the door behind her. This was becoming a habit for her. Getting up in the middle on the night and wandering around until she found an empty class room where she practices her pom routines in. Moving some of the benches and seats Nika cleared a space big enough for where she could practice without worrying about hitting something.
Saying the 8 counts out loud Nika started going threw one of her favorite routines. Dancing always seemed to calm her down and gave her a sense of security. It was one thing she new she could control when everything else around her was going crazy and out of control. That was one of reasons she wished that Hogworts had a dance team so she could help other people relive stress doing something they also loved.
As she continued to practice lost in though she did not here the door behind her open.
