Rosilee was finished with her classes for the day. She didn't feel like sitting in the common room and listen to everyone banter back and forth. Quietly the girl grabbed her sketch pad and a long sleeve shirt and slipped out of the tower. Rosi headed towards the lake. It wouldn't be too long before they would be called for dinner, so she wouldn't have to wait long. She walked down the hill, careful not to slip, and stopped at the bank. She looked around the area, scanning the horizon, before sitting down on the grass.
Rosilee folded her legs underneath her and pulled out her sketch pad. She had the sudden urge to draw the skyline against the lake and trees. It was extremely peaceful and serene that she didn't know if she could do it justice. The pencil moved across the thick paper as she absentmindedly started singing "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John.
[/i][/ul] Occasionally she would look up to see the lines and then back to the paper. She was so engrossed in the song and her drawing that she hadn't heard someone approaching her from behind. Outfit: Here![/blockquote][/font][/size] |

**Major props for choosing a song from the playlist!  ** Ophelia was taking a walk around the grounds. She was still on cloud 9 after the ball and her incredible kiss with Tyler. She knew there'd be hell to pay when Daddy found out, but right now, Ophelia just didn't care. She was giddy and in love. As she walked, she heard singing. It sounded so faint that she wasn't entirely sure it wasn't in her head. But as she got closer to the lake, she could make out the words. "Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad..."She still couldn't see where the music was coming from, but she found herself singing along in her soft, bell-like voice. She was moving toward the music, as if hypnotically drawn to it. And as the song reached its chorus, Ophelia moved up the small hill by the river. At the top, she looked down and saw a girl sitting on the grass, drawing and singing. So that was where it was coming from. "I like that song, too," she said as she came up to the girl. |

**There's a playlist? Groovy!**
Rosi about jumped out of her skin when a voice was heard over her own. She dropped her pencil, clutched her heart, and turned around. It was a blond girl that Rosi's seen around the common room but her name was escaping her. "Yeah, Sir Elton John is a musical genius." Rosi smiled softly and picked up her stuff.
She turned back towards the water for a second then turned back around. "Are you hiding out from everyone else?" Rosi smirked softly at the girl that has joined her. She was still trying to get a name to go with her face. Lyla? Oprah? No, neither one of those were right but it was something. She'd get it sooner or later.
((OOC: I made it to where they knew each other since Rosi is a 5th year. If not okay, lemme know.  ))

Up close, Ophelia recognized the girl. She was a fifth year, which meant she was Kassia and Allaire's roommate. She didn't visit her sisters very often; most of the time they visited her room instead. The only times she usually did it was when she had some kind of emergency. Most of her "emergencies" were clothing-related. Ophelia was not good at mending spells, so when a button came off or her hem tore, she went to Kassia, who was a genius with sewing, and didn't even need to use magic. Allaire, meanwhile, was usually the one Ophelia went to for homework help.
"Yes, I like him.... I'm learning to play piano, and I'm hoping I can play one of his songs," she said.

Ophelia! Rosilee about slapped herself in the forehead as soon as she thought of the name. She scooted over a bit and patted the ground beside her. "Oh yeah? Which one?" She closed her pad and sat it on the ground beside her. Rosi could play the piano, loved to play, and she loved to sing. Her grandmother was always one for muggle entertainment and so music has always been in her life.
Rosi thought for a minute and then realized that Ophelia's sisters were in her room. Kassia and Allaire Burke. "So, how is your term going? Got any good classes?" She knew that Ophelia was a 6th year so that must be exciting. The idea of almost being finished with school made Rosi envious of her. She smiled politely to her and waited for an answer.

Ophelia smiled. She did not sit on the grass, as she did not want to soil her dress with grass stains. Instead, she took out a handkerchief and transfigured it into a blanket before sitting down.
"I really like 'Your Song'," she said. "I think that's the one I'm going to try to learn first. But I'm still just learning scales right now. I've never tried to learn, but I love music. I wanted to have something I was good at. My boyfriend is teaching me."
Classes... now that was something Ophelia was less enthusiastic about. She mostly took easy classes, and paid little attention to them. "I like astronomy. The stars are pretty."
