She wondered why people still through this place to be a big mystery, half the school probably knew about it at the time, but still, a castle like this was bound to stir up some sort of questions. Some people gossiping about things that happened inside and blowing it completely out of proportion.
The room held a slight significance to her, it was the only place where nothing major had happened to her, a place to forget. Relax, and just be. Not having to think or act, but to exist for a moment with no purpose but to just live.
Lucretia stepped in the room, it was peaceful, tranquil and isolated. The place was set in a sort of Victorian setting. The torches that lit the walls, the velvet blood red drapries that cascading around the room, the small odd ornaments sitting on tables of fine stone and wood. The hard stone walls, cracking in some places, but it was still beautiful. And the old tattered books that were line up on the wall.
Not the same beauty that people thought about when seeing a brand new decorated expensive mansion. It was the old type of beauty, the one that you look around and think that this place has witnessed the ongoing that people dream to know about.
Sitting at one of the longer couches, she stretched her legs lying down on the couch, a book leaning on her raised lap, as the light from the torches being her only source, flickering shadows across her page.

Cassie reached the corridor of her favourite place in the castle, lost in her thoughts. That meant she didn't even realise the door had already appeared and as she wasn't thinking as she stepped through the door. What greeted her was definitely not her usual dance studio in which she had been planning in practising in, hence the simple dress she wore. She looked around, impressed by the decor as it looked vaguely like one of the rooms in her home. She looked to see who was in the room and sighed as she saw it was the girl from the lake. She decided an apology and a quick exit would be the best couse of action. "I'm sorry. I didn't realise someone was in here, I'll leave you in peace." she said and turned back to the door.

Lucretia looked up at the voice, not feeling like she wanted to start anything she just smirk, the light of the torch casting dark shadows on her face, making her pale skin look very odd under the light, she almost looks like a skeleton.
"Don't leave on my account, you came here to do something and so have I, don't cower away." she smirked, she wasn't picking a fight, but was trying to see how much of a 'women' this girl could be. She sat up straight one leg still extended on the couch, the other now on the ground.

Cassie turned back and shrugged. "Fine, but I'll need more space, do you mind if I expand the room a little?" she asked, dropping her back on the floor, she started to limber up, shaking out her muscles.

Lucretia shrugged, she could if she wanted to as long as her room stayed the way it was they would be fine.
"No adjustments over here." she said simply not wanting to go into some long explanation, she would just be short with this girl. Sure Lucretia didn't exactly find her place of solitude, but she was also in no mood to have a go with anyone, for once chaos would cease to play a part in her socializing, even if this was more like sharing a room and not associating with eachother.

Cassie stood up straight and shook her head. "I wouldn't it's beautiful and it reminds me of home" she replied before moving over to one side, she closed her eyes and opened up a room of the side, with polished wood floors and a wall of mirrors. She opened her eyes and smiled. "Right, I'll be in here" she said to Lucretia, although she wasn't sure if she was listening. Cassie just walked into the other room and began to put together a new dance.

The thought of home made her stiffen up. Her home did look a lot like this as well. Her mom was more of the Victorian type. Her house made it seem like they were living in the past. It dawned on her that she had been thinking about home recently, and how much was it worth it to stay.
She continued to read, ignoring Cassie. She looked up for a brief second, the two places clashing greatly. Her brightly lit room, against Lucretia's own dark abyss.
A smirk came to her lips as she surveyed Cassie. Something about the girl really just set Lucretia off more so now than before. She clenched her fists on her book, biting down on her lip.
Lucretia turned back to her book, voice traveling from her side of the room to the other.
"Come here a lot?" she asked suddenly, she could have kept to the silence, but why not prod the bear a little bit, should be fun.
"Only just started to see you." she added for the girl sake, her lips were curled in a small smile, but the dark room illuminated her face, only the small flickers of the torch light casted light on half of her face.

Cassie stopped in her tracks and turned to Lucretia, walking to the archway between the rooms. She let the lights fade, wondering if they had been annoying Lucretia. It didn't matter to Cassie, she could always dance in the dark.
"As often as I can" Cassie replied, keeping her voice light and casual though inside she was immediately on her guard. Her last run in with Lucretia hadn't been pleasant and Cassie did not want a repeat performance.
"Normally I come earlier, or late at night. I don't often come during the day" she said, shrugging. It suited her as she normally didn't run into other people.

She shrugged as well, not really caring much. She stretched getting up. She shut her eyes for a moment allowing the flicker of the torches to flutter on her eyelids.
"So I guess you've been here before, a reason why I've never seen you, I thought I had pretty much tormented most of the school." she said this with a smirk, the words spoken was just there to get Cassie a little mad, she wanted to see the girls dance, and she wanted to see it done with the emotion of anger.

"I left a performing arts college to come here" Cassie said warily. "I can't help but dance," she added. Cassie pulled her hair into a ponytail and leant against the archway, wondering what it was Lucretia was trying to achieve.

She wasn't going to try to manipulate the girl, just see how she danced. Lucretia liked to interpret emotions, and maybe this would be a chance to use it.
"You seem to have dance in the brain, I can tell by the way you dueled mother... Professor Seyrrou." she quickly corrected cursing herself for letting it slip.

Cassie looked at Lucretia, intrigued that their Charms teacher was her mother, but by her reaction she let it slip. She nodded, "I trained for 5 years at college before I came hear. By the time I left I had become prima choreographing my own pieces for small groups" she said, modestly. She was proud of what she had done, but she had never boasted before as it had taken a lot of hard work to reach that point.

She waved that part off. It was a good achievement, but Lucretia had her own things that she was well achieved in.
"I would fail as a dancer, flexibility is not an issue to me, its the style of my movements itself." she said shrugging, she wasn't going to go on about that, she wasn't the type to answer a question that wasn't asked.
"So you were raised with muggles." she had remembered that herself and Pandora promised each other to break free of this life they led and take up there own interests, maybe even attending a college for there own arts.

Cassie shrugged, it was complicated. "Partly. When I was younger I spent a lot of time with our wizarding neighbours then I went to a muggle school for a couple of years before I went to the performing arts college. The whole time I was tutored by my parents in magic. But I trained professionally as a dancer. Then I came here to do the exams" Cassie said briefly, there was more to it than that, but she felt that Lucretia had no desire to know her full life story.

Another shrug, it must have been odd to live amongst muggles, she knew that it would be odd for her if she attempted it.
"Is it just dancing, is there no other interest in life for you?" it sounded pretty depressing to live for one thing. Lucretia certainly did not have any interest for just one thing, but a whole bunch of odd goals. Some weird, some normal, and some extreme which were th ones she liked the most.
