Cassie made her way down to the first floor. The only down side to her tower world. Her best friend was way to far away! Finally getting to the History of Magic area the blonde did not head for the office, nope, she headed to the newly finished classroom and opened the door. Adorable pink Yoga outfit on she was ready for their girly exercise session, which always went more for exercising of their talking than actually exercising.

Seeing that she had beat Nessa there, Cassie found a nice place to set her mat down and started stretching. Noticing her shoe was untied she bent down to retie it as she waiting. When she stood back up she noticed her hair all over the place and quickly walked closer to the mirror, there was no reason to look like you have been in a hurricane while exercising. Using the mirror she readjusted the pony tall that was on top of her head.

Hearing little noises coming from her purse she grinned and opened it wider, "Don't worry Auntie Nessa will be happy you two came to join us." She took the two kitties out of the purse to let them explore the room.

Had she lost track of time? That thought became suddenly apparent to Nessa as she wandered the lower floors, trying to see who or what she might find. It had been ages since she had visited certain parts of the castle, but she could finish her exploration another time. She had some BFF time to tend to!

With a spring in her step, she nearly skipped back up the stairs to the first floor and headed down the corridor. Luckily she was already dressed in her cute exercise top and yoga pants in varying shades of purple so she wouldn't be any later than she was and she turned into the small classroom annex in her wing of the floor. Oooh Cassie was already there! They could get started right away for gossiping exercising.

"Casssiiieee," she sang as she entered the room, her smile bright at the sight of her dearest friend. "Oh and who did you bring?" She beamed at the two kitties as the crawled around the room and she picked up Gemini as he meowed near her, twirling a bit with him in her arms. After giving him a few pets, she set the kitten down and got out her own yoga mat. "You really should bring them by the office for a visit. I think Ophelia is a little lonely now that I'm keeping her here." There really needed to be a better solution to that because she didn't think she could bring her back and forth. She got far too fussy with all the travel.

She laid out her deep violet mat then sat down upon it, reaching her fingertips towards her toes. Best to start with some light stretching. "So.. how has your day been?" Hers had been fantastic so far.. but what was the day meant to bring?

Hearing her name Cassie beamed at her best friend. “Nessakins” She giggled and snapped a bit, “Oh course I brought the babies, they miss their auntie.” Laughing as she watched Nessa twirl around with Gemini. “Oh don’t be jealous Aries.” Scooping up the kitty next to her and giving him nose nuzzles. “Oh sure I haven’t seen Ophelia in a while. It will be soo fun to see them all together.” She hadn’t seen anything about the kitties harming the bird, so a visit would be perfect.

Putting the kitten down and watching him kitty tackle Gemini she laughed before moving onto her mat. Touching her toes to stretch her legs her green eyes moved back to a now upside down looking friend. “It’s been fabtastic. Everyone is sooo nice and the students are soooo welcoming.” This was such a great place she was thrilled all the signs had pointed her here. “What about you? How was your day? “

She had just stood back up an was about to move into another stretch when she remembered something. "OHMIGOSH Nessa, I went fishing." Yep she was super proud of herself. Not that she was proud of the icky worms or the slimy fish being harmed, but the boat was fun.

"Oh it would be fun!" Nessa's eyes widened almost as much as her smile thinking about the prospect of a visit. "We could all have tea together... or a picnic!" It had been a little while since they had done that. And maybe Ophelia would be in a better mood afterwards.

She chuckled watching the kitties play as she slid her legs up and moved into child's pose on her yoga mat. "Yes, it's been amazing... I so can't wait for my classes!" She was just putting the finishing touches on a few things and then she could get going on them. And they were really going to be fun, she just knew it! "It's been such a nice day. I did a little exploring... you know, it's been forever since I was even in the dungeons." And they were just about as she remembered - such an interesting ambiance about them.. even more so now.

Sliding back to a seated position, Nessa rose to her feet then turned to Cassie at her exclamation. "Fishing?" she repeated with a blink. That sounded so... oudoorsy. "Was that fun? Tell me all about it!" Nessa had never gone fishing but she'd try anything once.

“A picnic.. yes that would be great.” Cassie bounced and snapped in excitement. This was just going to be so much fun. “Maybe we could do it on the grounds unless you don’t want Ophelia outside.” The cute bird wouldn’t try to leave them would she?

Moving into downward dog, Cassie listened and snapped the best she could. “I bet you will have the best classes here. I’m so coming to them.” She just might sit in on a few, her best friend wouldn’t mind, would she? “Classes are going to be sooooo fun, the students are just going to be such great learners.” She knew the students would just love her class. “Oooooh the dungeons? Looking for a certain Aquarius potions professor?” Hmmm Nessa? She was getting upside down eyes at the moment. “You know your signs aren’t true love signs, but certainly fun romance signs.” So go forth and have fun best friend.

Standing back up and leaving Yoga as just memory for the moment she giggled, “Yes fishing.” Was she not someone that looked like she would like fishing, probably not. “It was different. Did you know they put worms on hooks to catch fish.” She squished her nose up in a disapproving way, but it might not have the effect it was supposed to give since she was still smiling and giggling. “Leo was super nice though and patient for someone who was no way going to touch a slimy fish.” That was never going to happen. “He thought I was actually going to take off my heels to get in the boat though. Can you imagine me without my heels.” There was no way that was happening.

Nessa loved the idea of a picnic and she clapped a few times before snapping along with Cassie in their mutual excitement. She needed to start planing for this right away... maybe even get a new picnicking outfit! "Ophelia will be fine. I clip her wings so she can't get too far." Not that her sweet baby would ever want to escape, but she couldn't have her getting lost. She was far too delicate. "As long as we can find a nice sunny day.. The air has been awfully chilly lately.." But it was too early for winter so they were sure to find a nice day in there somewhere. "If not.. maybe we can use a Daydream Charm in here or something to make it seem like we were outside." Oh, that could be fun too! It had been a little while since she used one of those. Giggle.

Bending into half moon, she grinned at Cassie's words. "Oh you will? That would be fab! I could so use your help in our reenactments.. And you know I'll be joining your classes too.." Nessa knew she certainly didn't have her best friend's gift of sight but she so loved the art of divination and knew that Cassie would have great and fun classes. Straightening up and sliding a foot up her leg into tree pose, she nearly fell over as the blonde woman continued. "Oh.. haha.. no, I wasn't exactly looking for anyone, per se.." she said with a chuckle, then a knowing wink. "Though I certainly wouldn't have minded bumping into anyone.." And that seemed a good place as any. The signs might not have been exactly what she wanted and she would have liked to dismiss that with a wave of her hand but she knew better. Nessa wouldn't soon forget the disaster she had with one Lee Morgan from not listening to her sign match up. "We'll see how things go," she added with a sweet smile.

She adjusted her foot again to balance herself as she listened to Cassie's fishing story. The worms sounded gross actually and she made a weird face at her, though the other woman seemed to have enjoyed it. Then Cassie slowly grinned. "Oh you went with Leo, did you? That sounds very sweet." Did she know about his affinity for glitter though? Maybe she should let her in on that so she didn't get ideas. But her next words totally distracted her from that line of thinking at least for a moment. "Why can't you wear heels to go fishing?" She never heard that that was a rule.. but what did she know about fishing.

Oh that’s right Cassie had forgotten that Ophelia had her wings clipped, though the thought of clipping a birds wings didn’t sit well with the blonde, she knew it didn’t hurt them, plus she wouldn’t want the sweet thing to fly away. That would just be so sad. “Yes it has been colder. I don’t remember wearing my sweaters this early in the year.” She shivered thinking about it. Her green eyes widened in excitement, “The daydream charm could be soooo fun! We should totes do that.” They could be warm and find a nice place to be just inside this room if they wanted.

“I would love to do reenactments, but I could never be as great as you at it!” Her best friend was amazing at acting she couldn’t even come close to being as good. “You will? Oh that is fabtastic!” Snaps for the excitement of seeing her best friend in her lessons. Her exercise fully out of her mind Cassie took a seat on her mat and just looked at her friend. Exercise can wait, this social conversation was getting more important. “Oh of course you weren’t looking for anyone.” She giggled teasing her friend. The potions master was down in those dungeons and why not go run into him. “You know…” stopping in her sentence and summonsing a parchment. “I went through signs for matchups just for fun.” She giggled handing them over. [b] “I did friend matchups so we know which would be the greatest friendships as well as some compatible ones. She handed over the parchment for Nessa to see.

“Though I guess we need to take Piesry and Javy off the compatible list” She shook her head a bit, “I’m still in shock, especially with my memories of seventh year.” She couldn’t help but chuckle a bit. Her smile grew, “I did go with Leo, he was very sweet.” She felt bad for ruining his fishing trip, but it was nice, “He’s on the list in a compatible way.” she giggled at the information. “We always have such close matches, but there are a few that aren’t even close.” The funniest to her was Botros.

Her green eyes widened, “I know!!! Me not in heels! I warned him, so when I hit him with the oar and then tried to see if he was okay and fell into the lake. He should not have been surprised! I ruined my dress though. Lake water!” Her nose was crinkling because just eww.

Oh, see, they should just do the daydream charm and then they wouldn't even have to worry about the weather. "We could even do the beach instead of a picnic.. sitting on lounge chairs at the beach and sipping on fruity drinks with little umbrellas.." Nessa got a little lost in her thoughts, thinking about it. What were they talking about again? Was there a reason for their gathering? Oh there never needed to be a reason to meet with her best friend and if there was one, she had forgotten all about it now in favor of starting to plan their beach daydream.

Beaming at her friend, Nessa joined in the snaps in the excitement of both of their classes. "That's so sweet of you to say.. but I could always use your help, I'd love it if you joined in.." She knew there was a place for everyone in the performing arts.. even the quiet, shy ones which Cassie was not anyway. And she couldn't wait t o see what Cassie had in store for her own classes.. maybe she could get some personalized readings. Tree pose was starting to get tiresome so she straightened her leg and took a seat on her map, leaning in almost conspiratorially to Cassie. "No! I wasn't, really," she said with a giggle. Now if she ran into someone, she certainly wouldn't mind, hehe. And she supposed the odds would have been in her favor to..

She leaned in even closer, her eyes wide. "You diiiid?" Oooh, how fun! Cassie got snaps for her thoughtfulness though it really didn't surprise Nessa too much that she would do matching signs. "So tell me.. who matches up best with Pisces? Hmmm?" She just had to know! The brunette quickly grabbed the parchment and scanned through them. She didn't get very far with the list when brown eyes snapped up again. "Ohmigosh, I KNOW!" she said dramatically. Who would have thought after what went on in a certain someone's seventh year that things would have turned out the way they did. Nessa could hardly wrap her head around it.

But the fishing trip sounded fun.. and maybe even romantic? In a comedic sort of way, hehe. And Nessa listened eagerly to the details. "WHAT?" The History of Magic professor's mouth soon dropped open as her BFF continued. "You fell in the water??" OMG! Then Nessa gasped as she put her hand over her chest. "Tell me he came to your rescue.." Oh no that really was so romantic.. maybe her glitter radar had been completely off.. What were Leo's and Cassie's compatibility signs? Nessa looked through the parchment again.

“That is what we are going to do! Yeeeees!! A beach and little umbrella’s in our drinks just sounds too fab to pass up.” It was settled they would do a daydream lunch. This was going to be fun and she knew exactly what outfit she was already going to wear. Oh how fun to wear those shoes again. She gave snaps to the idea. It was just fabtastic.

Of course she’d join in, it would be fun. “Alright I’ll do it, but give me something small. I don’t want to fully embarrass myself in front of the students.” She giggled a bit and leaned her elbow on her left so she could rest her head in her hand. The exercise was certainly down for the day. There were things to talk about. The biggest thing was if her best friend was really looking for someone in that dungeon or not. Hmmmm she was eyeing Nessa on this one. Getting up quickly and going over near her she pointed. “Well it has that you match up with Piersie, Leo, Javey, Kirby, and *giggles* your strongest match is Abraham.” She couldn’t help but chuckle more. Professor Botros was much much older and the thought of a lovey relationship between the two made the blonde giggle so much. “Culloden is a good possible friend to have fun with, but nothing too serious.” She nodded about her signs, clearly they weren’t wrong if she remembered her little moment of dating her younger brother.

“I did, it was freeeeezzzzzzing.” She shivered just thinking about it. “but Leo jumped in to help me, though I felt bad that he did.” Even if it was the sweetest thing. “He conjured up a ladder so we could get back in the boat and blankets to warm up. It was all very sweet, though I ruined his fishing trip. Not that I’m sad about. I think those awful hooks go into the fish and I just wouldn’t have dealt with that well.” No that would have harmed them and she couldn’t have handle that.

It was settled then. They would have a beachy daydream lunch. And it would be fantastic. "I love it!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands together. "How about next Saturday then? For lunch?" Nessa was free then, what about Cassie? She should probably quill it in right now so she didn't forget. Stretching out on her mat, she pulled out her wand and summoned her planner and fwooper quill. She quickly jotted it done. "There. It's in ink now so it must be done!" They were all set.

Oh goodness! Nessa let out a little laugh. "How could you possibly embarrass yourself? It's all in good fun for everyone!" Especially when all were involved, there was no way anyone could be because they were all participating in doing the same thing. "But certainly.. if you'd rather a more of a supporting role.. or even part of the ensemble, that's perfectly fine." Something for everyone, really.. plus the students needed to participate to learn. She was just glad Cassie wanted to be a part of it.

Though admittedly right now she was rather interested in this piece of parchment she was being shown and brown eyes looked to where Cassie was pointing. Hmm.. "Well, I suppose we should remove Piers and Javy from the list," she said with a chuckle, then she gave her best friend a look. Err.. her strongest love match was with an elderly man? Well, she did know that love knew no age, but the pairing didn't exactly make much sense to her. Though love didn't always either.. "I'm sure he's married or something anyway.." Crazy astrological signs.. but Nessa knew after a couple disasters, one quite memorable, that Cassie was usually spot on with her readings. Even if her attraction was there and the sign matching wasn't. Bummer. "Fun, hmm?" Though it wasn't exactly what she wanted to hear, she would have to think more on that.

And it seemed that Cassie had something juicy herself. She leaned in closer, her eyes slightly widened, focusing on the words coming out of her friend's mouth. Except she probably didn't hear all of it.. just the parts she wanted to hear. "Oh that's so romantic," she sighed. Well, like in the romantic comedy kind of way, but it totally was. He came to her rescue, who even cared about the rest of the fishing trip.. unless it got better than that? "I think we need to see how your sign matches up with a certain librarian," she said with a knowing wink before looking at the parchment again. Where was it?? And she totally had to be wrong about the glitter thing, she just had to be!

It was a reconnaissance mission really. Outside of that single classroom and her guest appearance at Professor Cassie's footprint hunt he hadn't met Professor Glendower. He was ever-ready to judge, though on account of he was a terd-beyond-repair. Somewhere in his crazy and empathy deprived psyche, Professor Glendower probably represented something to him. Whatever the cause he seemed to have negative feelings for her. She was, for the purposes of the case as it may be, his Charity Burbage.

It was by his damnable and always undeserved luck that his finger landed upon Pisces so that he could use the opportunity to sort of bridge what he was sure would be a large gap between he and his new History of Magic professor. He would need her to think him a decent human being if he was going to survive academically for the rest of the term. But in order to increase the odds of hitting the mark rather spot on, one always benefitted from doing a bit of research.

Passing the hammocks and squishy pillows, Cutty found himself at the entrance of a room. The mirror stopped him cold for a moment and he took in the doll-like automaton reflection. His turned slowly away from wall-to-ceiling mirror and the upright caught his attention. Perhaps, he wouldn't have to interact with her at all. It was obvious to him that Professor Glendower was a lover of song. Did she play? For how long? Could she sing? How did she come to learn this? It couldn't have been an easy feat to get that instrument into the room. Surely, her passion for it must've been at play there. It was too much trouble to go through for simply the listening pleasure. That could be more easily accomplished with an old Victrola.

But how would he make a card that sang? Would it have to work something like a howler? He was sure it was possible, but he hadn't the time to research music box charms or the like. Cutty moved over to the piano bench and lifted the seat up hoping to find what he was seeking. Yes. Sheet music. He flipped through a few of them and stopped at one that appeared to be a sweet tune. Not intense enough to be exclusively about a lover, but nice enough that the receiver was at least in some form of healthy platonic affair with the writer. It would do. And so Cutty duplicated the sheet and in his turning to depart spotted the craft supply.

Perfect. He wouldn't have to head all the way back to the Slytherin Common Room now. He could simply make the card here. He wasted no time in raiding the cupboard and in his pillage gathered coloured paper and scissors and began to craft little heart shaped fishes working the musical theme into the product where he thought a textured might be useful. Though, he grew board of it's beigey shade and at several intervals changed it's colour.
