So it only occurred to Torrance halfway to the Charms Classroom and to his Uncle's former office for some down time and to eat lunch that his Uncle would not be there, and that Uncle Julien was probably still mad at him fro running away, and for other things that were Owled back and forth between the two of them.

Which actually, was perfectly fine. Torrance was only headed this way as was routine for the two years before. He was still mad at his Uncle himself. So he just quickly turned tail and headed to the small set of steps just in front of the Clock Tower Entrance and sat down on the last step. He would need something else to do now that he was here. It would feel weird having come all this way down here, and not accomplishing something.

Maybe he could spend sometime babbling anything off in front of the Humpback Witch Statue and see if she moves. Maybe he could go to the Trophy room and be real dull looking at Trophies. There was also the Armor Gallery, maybe he could get one of them to move? The possibilities were endless.

Kat was on the way to the grounds after spending a few hours in the library, going to the clock tower entrance was closer than going all the way down to the ground floor. Yes, Katerina was a lazy Hufflepuff. What could she say?

Heading down the steps she she actually wasn't paying attention and tipped right over someone. That someone was TORY! "Merlin,I'm sorry Tory." He was't hurt was he? Luckily for Katerina she manged to land on her feet at the bottom of the steps.

Kaycee was excited to finally have some time to herself to practice a few moves. It was crazy how much more work she had now that she was in her final year of school. Silly her, she thought final year meant easy.

But, the Prefect had to get some practice in. It was already December and she had a competition in just a few short weeks over the break.

She dropped her school bag by the clock tower entrance. The big empty area meant she could listen to her steps and make sure her timing made sense. She hopped up and down in the center of the area a few times and then stretched out her arms. Gotta warm up first.

It wasn't like Paul to wander around the castle at random.....unless he was thinky. And today, he was very thinky. He had a shipment of a very rare plant being delivered to his greenhouses at HOME in Venice later this week, and as much as he wanted to trust Milton to take care of it.........

He really didn't.

So he wondered if he should just........play hooky on Friday. Ahem. Would the students care? NOT ONE BIT.

It was only then that he realized he had stumbled upon KAYCEE RICHARDS.....dANCING. At least, he thought it was dancing! HE started clapping. "OH MY GOODNESS, KAYCEE! YOU LOOK WONDERFUL."

Paul didn't realize.....the girl was only stretching and warming up. Um.

Kaycee blinked a few times in confusion. Erm... Erm...

Say waaaaat?

"I haven't started yet, Professor." she said slowly. "But... um... thanks."

Awwwwwwkwarrrrrrrrrrd.

"Did you want to learn a bit...?" she offered. Might as well, right? He did express a mild interest in it before.

It was strange for Takeru Asakura to actually be excited about something.

But he was.

Excited that is.

About this meeting with a small blonde smily Gryffindor girl who was his friend. The thought alone brought the tiniest smile on Tak's face. Hogwarts may have people like Daxton Prince and Genny but it also had people like Liv in it, so that made it worth it. The third year stood with his back pressed against a wall, eyes on the pendulum as he waited. For some reason, a giant clock seemed like a great place to meet for him.

OH GOODNESS SHE HADN'T EVEN STARTED!? Paul was embarrassed, but laughed in order to play it off. "Of COURSE you didn't start, m'dear, I was TESTING you!" Riiiiiiiight.

SINCE WHEN DID STRETCHING RESEMBLE DANCING SO MUCH EH?

He gestured at himself in a dramatic fashion. "ME?' he asked softly. "Oh hO HO! I would LOVE to! If, however, you are willing to teach!"

Kaycee did her best to not roll her eyes. Which, probably meant she was making quite the face. Whoops.

"Riiiight..." Because that made sense. Not. Why would he be testing her? She was pretty well aware of what her body was doing, thanks.

She then nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah. Let's see what you got, Professor." This should be very entertaining. "We can start with a little bop." Mostly to see what his sense of rhythm was like.
