I'm dying to go! Wanna go up with me tomorrow night before curfew?" She wanted to test her new telescope soooo badly!! Plus, it would make her feel a little closer to her dad.
She pulled on her auburn pigtails and bounced in her seat- she was a real bouncer when she was excited! "Oooooh I hope my dad sends my iPod soon! It helps me fall asleep. Do you have any Muggle music that you like? I'll see if he can put it on before he sends it. Maybe I'll owl him everyday and be like, 'where's my iPod' and 'sent my iPod yet?' He'll send it just to stop me from driving him mad!" she laughed, and took a huge bite of her chocolate doughnut.
Melina cracked up again when Ari told her about her mum's cooking. "Oh that's hilarious! Though I don't think my mum has prepared more than a poached egg herself. We have a house elf who takes care of those things, though I've gotten her to teach me how to bake the best brownies. Ok, now I'm hungry for a brownie!" She took another huge bite of her doughnut, hoping the chocolate would cancel out her brownie craving.
Thinking about what she'd miss, she sighed. "My dad, first and foremost. Followed by dancing with the LBT. Then my Muggle friends, for sure. And just my room, stuff like that."
Melina was so touched that Ari had remembered her plan to start ballet at school. She reached over and gave her best friend a huge hug. "You remembered! Oh, that means the world to me!! I've been too nervous to go to the headmaster about it," she admitted. "I'm trying to pluck up the courage!" "OMG, did you hear about the psycho they have teaching transfiguration?" she asked with wide eyes. 'If I end up with a fortune, it would definitely be due to my own efforts. I have nothing of value to inherit, except the house where I live now with my mum, and some family jewelry.' Ariadne replied. 'But I don't think I'll end up rich anyway.' she chuckled. After all, money wasn't everything. 'Sure, I'd love to go! What time? Do you want me to bring anything?' Ari asked. She had never done professional star-gazing. Hehe. 'Hey, are we allowed to bring food up there, you reckon? I could get something from the kitchens and we could have dinner there, like an unconventional picnic.' the firstie laughed. 'I like really old Muggle music, the kind my mum used to listen, which is old for her too. Mostly 20th century rock, like Aerosmith or Scorpions, and early 21st , like Muse and Coldplay.' she confessed, a bit embarassed. These were so old for 2074. 'So you have a house elf?' Ari was surprised. 'I've always wondered about them. One girl told me not to pity the elves, because it's their life purpose to clean and cook. Is that true?' She knew Melina would answer with honesty. 'Yeah, I'll miss my room too, I forgot to mention that. It's great here, but sometimes I wish I didn't have to share the dormitory with so many girls.' Ari explained. 'How could I have forgotten about your dream?' Ariadne said, returning the hug. 'You should go talk to him as soon as possible, I'm sure he'll be okay with it. If it'd make you feel better, I can come with you.' the brunette offered. 'Ah, don't get me started on that!' she rolled her eyes. 'I had classes with that Shaw guy, he's raving mad, that's what he is!' the firstie exclaimed. 'Using a chainsaw in class? Letting students invent spells? How can he be allowed to teach in this school?' the girl wondered, indignated.
