As Cooper and Harry prepared for the new school year to come, the students of Mrs. V's boarding school danced.

Their pointe shoes were tapping against the ground as they landed from their jumps. Then they launched straight into the next set of movements.

As the music came to a halt, all the girls stood in V-plus, their chest's heaving with a lack of oxygen. None of them dared to move until the instructor told them to do so. Once they were released from the position, many simply wiped their brow and stood back up straight.

"Girls, I have been watching each of you closely to decide to will be the lead in the spring performance for your division of ages." Her piercing blue eyes landed on a girl with her blonde hair neatly pinned into a braided bun. "Alice has been here for a long time and has been showing her effort everyday. Congratulations, you have been given the part as the minor lead."

Alice's mouth dropped open for a moment with her eyes wide in shock, but she quickly pulled herself together. Her body moved into a high curtsy, thanking her teacher. "Merci bien,"

"You dance ballet, little one?" Andromeda Black spoke to her newest cousin for the first time.

Alice nodded, tugging on her rings. "I do Andy, and uh where's Dora?"

A surprised expression came across the woman's face. "You know her? Please tell me she's okay,"

The younger witch reassured her that she was fine in the future. Neither of them knew that Narcissa was watching with her longing soul. All the elder blonde wanted was for her family to all get along again.

"Chop chop, we still must run center work."

They all scattered to their spots on the floor, springing back onto their toes once they were cued to do so by the music. Their body's all turned to the same beat, routine memorized in their body's muscle memory.

When a loud clang was heard, everything came to a halt. The girls thanked their teacher quickly, running to their bags to rip off their pointe shoes. All of the girls headed different ways, Alice went straight to the dorm room. When she got to her bed, she dumped her pointe shoes next to the trunk she was in the process of loading. Her hand grabbed the band aid box from under her bed, unwrapping a few to hide to the bleeding toenails and blisters from sight.

"Must you really leave?" A younger girl whined as Alice started to finally load her trunk.

"You know that I do, but I'll be back before you know it," her arms hugged a few of the sad younger girls, holding onto the raven haired one a little longer. "I need to be leaving for the train station, I'll see you all in the summer."

She tugged the trunk down the halls, exiting the school as quick as she could. Her driver waved at her from the front seat, then took off towards the train station.

"Who's the black haired girl?" Ginny pondered aloud, leading her head on Luna's shoulder.

Alice froze from where she was trying to get Cooper's rings unstuck from her hair. "Her name's Azalea, she was my little of sorts for a few years— ow, Cooper stop moving your hand is only getting it more tangled."
