Translation: Little by little one goes too far.

Mari headed down to the lake. It was pretty early in the afternoon. Most people would probably be at class, but Mari was granted a few days to get adjusted to her schedule, so she took it for granted. Her white blouse was unbuttoned at the top and the slight colorful detailing on her white miniskirt showed of her tan skin perfectly. The gold sandals she wore gave her about three and a half extra inches and made her legs look longer....not that she was trying to make an impression or anything ;).
Mari stood on front of the lake with her arms opened and let the wind carry light, cool breezes of water to her face.

Cassie appeared from that pressed against the lake's edge. She had been allowed a couple of days off as there was an important dance competition coming up on the assuption her work wouldn't suffer. So today she had thrown on some shorts and a tank top and hurried out into the sun. She had been jogging for a while now and she was getting tired. She saw a figure in the distance and jogged over, stopping just before she ran into her. "Hey" she said with a smile, a little breathless.

Mari turned her head away from the lake's beauty to find a sweaty Ravenclaw who was out of breath and looked to be about her age. Mari was surprised at how close the girl was to her and she took a step back for comfort. "Hello." She said looking at the Ravenclaw. "How are you?" She figured it wasn't polite, or a good way to meet people by just coming out and saying Who the hell are you?, so she owuld just have to wait.

"A little tired, this is my fourth lap" Cassie said, referring to her sweaty state. She grabbed up her wand and waved it at herself muttering under her breath. Gradually the sweat disappeared and she looked as if she had just taken a shower, fresh and clean. "I'm sorry I don't think we've met before" she said politely, "I'm Cassie" she added.

Mari watched her use her wand. The things kids used their wands for today...she thought to herself. "Marisol." She introduced herself with a smile. "Are you new here?" She blurted without thinking. The question must have sounded strange to Cassie coming from Mari.

"Nice name" Cassie said with a smile before answering the question with a nod. "Pretty new, I arrived about six weeks ago." she elaborated, puliing her hair out of it's ponytail to let it fall freely over her shoulders.

"Okay, that explains it." Mari said. Anyone who arrived less than three years and two months ago was completely foreign to her. Not that she had known everyone at Hogwarts before she left. "I took some time off a few years ago and I got back a couple of days ago." She explained.

"Oh cool. I transferred here from a performing arts college" Cassie explained, letting Marisol know a luittle more about her. "So what house are you in?" she asked curiously.

"Hufflepuff." Mari said with a sigh. She felt like she was different than most in her house, but she tried not to complain about it too much. According to legend, the Sorting Hat has its purpose. "How about you?" She asked. The girl wasn't in Hufflepuff, that much was true. She was too polite and grasceful for Slytherin and that left only two options.

"Ravenclaw, sixth year" Cassie said promptly. She began to stretch, easing out her muscles so they didn't tighten and get sore. "So the school gave you a bit of time huh? I got the same when I arrived, not that there are actually many classes" Cassie added.

Mari nodded. So the girl was into exercise. The only exercise Mari got was walking around in her usually four inch heels...and that was enough. "Yeah, I have a couple more days of freedom before I go try to get caught up." She said,

Cassie nodded, shaking out her limbs as she finished stretching. "I'm not strictly speaking supposed to be here, there are classes going on but I was given permission by the headmistress" Cassie said, looking back to the castle, glad she wasn't in some stuffy classroom. "I'm forvever catching up, I spend too much time dancing" Cassie said with a smile, she couldn't choose between magic and dance and so she was always behind with something.

Mari nodded. "Whatever the workload, it is much better than being homeschooled by a mother who thinks etiquette is much more useful than Defense Against the Dark Arts." She said heaving a sigh. She would do nothing to get back to her mother. It took her long enough to get permission to come back to Hogwarts as it is.

Cassie nodded sympathetically even though privately she disagreed, she had been home-schooled by her parents in magic for five years whilst she attended the performing arts college and she had really enjoyed it. "Well we're both here now" Cassie said brightly, reminding Marisol to stay positive.

"Yeah, that's true." Mari sat down and patted the ground next to her offering Cassie a seat. "So you're only the second person I've really gotten a chance to talk to. Tell about Hogwarts. Anything interesting going on now?" She asked curiosly.
