Sitting in the hall ((Harmony))

Rachel grinned.
"That's perfect. It would be great to have Aurora there as well, I'd love to meet her," Rachel said. She thought to all the homework she herself had to do, and whether she had time to do this, however she knew she'd go insane if she didn't practice every day.
"Sounds fantastic," she murmured, smiling. Rachel couldn't believe her luck at finding a dance partner; she had naively assumed she was the only ballerina in the school. Now she knew better and she couldn't be happier.

She also couldn't be happier about Harmony's advice. Even though Harmony said she didn't know what she was talking about, everything she said made perfect sense. Rachel was going to tell Patrica, and Patrica would understand. And Richard would be none the wiser. Rachel smiled again.
"Well, I should probably get going. Light's out will be soon," Rachel said, wishing she could stay a bit longer. The evening had been great, and she couldn't wait to see Harmony again.
"I'll see you tomorrow probably, and definately next Sunday evening," she promised, giving Harmony a friendly wave. Turning around, Rachel began to walk away, feeling lighter than she had for a long time.

"I hope Aurora doesn't scare you, she can be very... weird. But she's also very nice and friendly, and not shy at all, like me. She'd love to meet you." Harmony laughed, though she was actually a little worried that Aurora and Rachel wouldn't get on very well. However, she reassured herself everything would be fine. Aurora was generally good with people, although slightly hyper and overbearing, but, like Rachel, she was very nice, and Harmony knew she'd be delighted to help them produce a song to dance to. Harmony couldn't wait to hit the paper and begin to write down some ideas for lyrics and suppressed her mounting excitement. She was so very happy because this gave her the perfect chance to get on her toes again, and wondered if her ballet shoes would still fit her with a wry smirk.

With Rachel mentioning the lateness of the evening, Harmony glanced in surprise at her watch, and let out a low gasp, a smile following because she had completely forgotten about the time. What had only been intended as a short leisurely stroll had turned into almost half an hour of chatting, although Harmony was ecstatic about this. "I've managed to make a new friend, find a dance partner, gotten myself a ballet practise and given advice about love." Harmony almost laughed out loud at this thought, pondering on how she had managed to fit iso much nto so little time. "Goodness, is it that time already? Yeah, you're right. We don't want another prefect to find us like they did last time." Harmony grinned, bringing up the incident where her, Rachel and Richard were discovered one night in a corridor, though Harmony hadn't been talking with them, just returning to her dormitory.

"Well, it's been lovely meeting you, Rachel. I'm sure Richard will be pleased to hear of this! And yeah, I'll see you soon. Bye!" Harmony gave a genuine beam, and nodded cheerfully. Watching her new friend turn and leave, Harmony did the same with a large smile spread across her face. Making her own way towards the Hufflepuff common room, Harmony began to practise her quick steps again with even more vigour and enthusiasm, hoping the Sunday evening to come upon her quickly.
