July 31st, 1991
She was lying on the ground breathless when Draco had yelled upstairs to her. She didn't move, didn't even budge. Her eyes were staring up at the ceiling for a good few moments before she heard heavy footsteps coming towards her room, and her door was thrown open. She rolled over gracefully onto her feet and glared dangerously at Draco, "ever heard of knocking before?"
Rolling his eyes, he tossed her a letter. He grinned as he watched her eyes light up, and she suddenly spun around before falling onto her bed, the letter held high above her in her hands as she looked at the elegant font. "Miss K Lestrange...Second Floor, Fourth Bedroom on the Left, Malfoy Manor, Wiltshire England…" she turned and saw Draco leaning against her door, a letter held in his hand. "...oh...they sent you one too. Weren't you supposed to go to Durmstrang?"
"What, you don't want me around?" He laughed, "you love my company!"
Shrugging, she tore open the letter and rolled over onto her stomach. "Well, we've got some shopping to do." She said, barely glancing at the welcome letter as she eyed the supplies list, "what are you looking forward to most?"
"Potions!"
"Suck up,"
"Shut up!" He blushed, crossing his arms as he turned away so she couldn't see his face, "what about you? What are you looking forward to?"
"Well...they don't have dance, so...I guess the next best thing will be Dark Arts."
"Defense Against the Dark Arts, you mean."
Kagome grimaced, "yeah...who decided that?"
POP
"Misses, the Mistress Malfoy has called for misses and the young sir."
"Thanks, Jipsy," Kagome said as she placed her letter and list back in the envelope, it came in. Draco left her room, and Kagome climbed off her bed and followed him. Her bare feet on the cold marble floor had her turning around and quickly grabbing a pair of socks to pull on before she ran downstairs after her cousin.

"Good, Kagome..." Narcissa waved a hand for her niece to take a seat. Once Kagome was settled beside Draco, she started to speak. "We will be going to Diagon Alley for your school supplies this weekend. I had...Lucius go and speak with your dance instructors, Kagome. To let them know that you would be taking some time off from dancing to attend school overseas."
"I understand, Aunt Narcissa. When do we leave for school?"
"Term starts on September 1st; you should be on the train before it leaves at eleven in the morning."
"So, I still have a month, that's great! I was already cast in the Juniors Ensemble, and Recital is on August twenty-fifth, the last Sunday of the month."
She nodded, "That's quite alright. Draco, I want you to take care of Kagome while the two of you are at school. I know that you will both be Slytherin's, but I would still feel more comfortable knowing that she had someone watching her back."
Kagome spared a sideways glance at her cousin, thinking of all the trouble she could cause, and he would be on the receiving end of her Aunt and Uncles scolding. Of course, she loved her cousin, so she would never do anything that would get him into too much trouble.
"Yes, mother."
"Your godfather will also be joining us for dinner tonight, so be sure to be inside by no later than six to clean up and gather your bearings. That's all I wanted to say..."
Kagome stood and gave an elegant curtsy, reminiscent of the ballet she'd grown up with. Walking with poise, she left the room and started back upstairs to change out of her dancewear.
"Hey, Kagome!"
Stopping on the bottom step, she turned and looked at her cousin, "what is it?"
"Let's go fly for a few hours,"
Poise was out of the picture as her eyes lit up and she took off in a run up the steps.
"You will ruin that young lady,"
"Ruin her, mother?" Draco laughed, "so she likes to get her hands dirty, I personally think she's all the better for it."
Shaking her head, Narcissa sighed as she stood and made to leave the living room. "Just don't be late for dinner."

"So, what's your Ensemble performing?"
"It's Sleeping Beauty; they were going to start holding auditions for the Nutcracker...but...that's the Christmas Recital, and I won't be able to participate."
"What role did you get for Sleeping Beauty?"
"...Princess Aurora, so I get to sleep during the entire second act of the ballet performance." She placed the brush of the broom down, holding the shaft at eye level as she went on pointe. Her shoes were hardly Ballet shoes, but she was still balanced and poised when she brought her left leg straight up and then down, pirouette, first arabesque, and arabesque penché. The wind danced with her as she moved around her wooden dance partner in a faux Pax De Deux.
"..." Draco stopped walking and watched her dance for a few moments before chuckling, "it looks better when you aren't wearing pants and a sweater. Still, not bad, you should pick up ballroom dancing while you're at it."
Kagome dropped her leg down and scoffed, letting the broom fall away from her; she moved up to Draco and placed a hand on his shoulder and knocked away the broom he was holding before allowing her hand to take its place. "One, two, three, one, two, three, one-" she laughed as she danced around the garden.
"I wasn't saying to dance with me, though...when you had time to learn ballroom, it is beyond me."
"Merlin's beard, how does she do it?" She smiled as Draco dropped his right arm and raised and opened his left hand, allowing her to do an underarm turn before coming back to him. "I wasn't aware that you even knew how to dance."
"Father said that it would be an embarrassment for me not to know how to conduct myself at a gala. I guess all Malfoy's know how to at least waltz. You may never find me in tights and on my toes, but I am well capable of rudimentary spins."
"Maybe I can get you to join me in Contemporary classes."
"I'm okay," Draco frowned, "that's a bit too much crawling on the floor for my taste."
POP
"Young Master, Dobby was sent to get you and Young Miss Lestrange!"
Kagome and Draco stopped dancing and turned to Dobby, "what's wrong?"
"The young masters are late for dinner."
Draco and Kagome shared a look before they took off running towards the Manor. Kagome turned back and yelled out to Dobby, "could you put the brooms back up?! Thank you!"
