Getting lost in memories of her friend, she didn't immediately notice the girl approach her. Not until her view of the dance floor was obscured. Glancing up, a flicker of..something...spread across her face. Melanie? Melll--, OH! Yesss, she knew a Melanie. Not well of course, or the girl wouldn't have said just "seen her around". Miranda used to play Quidditch with her, yes? Well she could find that out in a minute.
The look Sarah sported now was a broad smile, as she nodded and pointed to the seat near her. "Of course not, be my guest." She put a hand to her chest and adjusted the necklace she was wearing. "I'm Sarah, it's nice to meet you Melanie." Pause "You played Quidditch with Miranda, didn't you?"
"Awesome! Thanks." Melanie's grin broadened, her sudden shyness fading rather quickly. She flopped into a seat sitting beside Sarah's, smoothing out the skirt of her costume and crossing her legs all lady-like. Meh. Melanie wasn't quite used to wearing skirts.
"Nice to meet you too." Ohhh, yes, she did know Miranda! Melanie nodded proudly at the other girl's question.
"Yep." she confirmed brightly.
"Miranda was an amazing Captain. It's too bad we couldn't have quidditch this year, though." Pouuuuut. She wouldn't be surprised if her broom was mad at her, it got so little use during the school year.
"Do you like Quidditch?" Yep. It was a test.
