The Art of Dance

It was Wednesday and Micah's first dance lesson. Draco had never seen his god daughter so excited before. It was 3:30 p.m. and she was already packing her dance bag with jazz sneakers and jazz shoes.

Draco caught Micah trying to put water in her bag, but Draco told her that the water would be hot by the time that they arrived to the studio. That caused Micah to put it back.

After two "horrible" hours of waiting they finally were able to go to the studio for Micah to start. They entered and saw Ginny finishing up with her 15 and 16 year olds. They were doing practice stretches for ala saccones and fouettes.

After they did their stretches they began their pom routine for their competition coming up. The seven girls were using a theme for the dance. They were using Popeye the Sailorman as their theme and had material formed into spinach leaves for the poms.

After the girls ran through the routine they grabbed their team bags and left to go home. Micah ran up to Ginny and asked if it was time to start her lessons. Ginny nodded and she asked her if she had stretched before she came to the studio. Micah nodded then Ginny looked at Draco for conformation and he nodded as well.

"Do you have any idea of a song that you want to start out with?" Ginny asked the little girl. Micah replied "Yes, I want to start out with 'I Hope You Dance' by Le Ann Womack for my mother. Ginny then put on the music to listen to the beats and get an idea of where she was going to start with Micah.

Ginny had already choreographed a dance to this song so it wasn't to hard with the choreography, but just to change some places to fit what could probably pertain more to Micah than to herself.

Ginny then stopped the music and showed Micah the beginning position. After that Ginny began teaching Micah the choreography. Going from beginning position they walked gracefully to the center of the room and prepared for a triple pique.

Soon they were over halfway through the dance and Ginny said that it was time to take a break and just talk. "So how did you come to your father's custody?" Ginny asked the little girl. "Well, my parents were killed while my mother was performing on stage at a ballet. It was a group of masked people, but my daddy won't tell me who they are," Micah replied. It now made some sense to Ginny, but she still didn't understand why it was Draco.

After they finished their lesson Draco and Micah left while Ginny grabbed another bottle of water and pick a random song on the cd in the player. Soon she was dancing her pain away like she did so many years ago.

Flashback

"I just need this to all go away. I hate my life and there is nothing to live for. What's the point no one will notice if I'm gone. Maybe suffocating myself will make the pain go away," Ginny thought as she put on her jazz shoes.

End Flashback

She then went into vigorous movements hoping that maybe the pain of death and the world will go away. That's when Chris entered. He watched her try to relieve her pain from years of torment.

"Elizabeth said you weren't back at the flat yet and had me go in search of you," he said to her. "She'll survive… there isn't any other place I'd be anyway." He looked at her with worry in his eyes. "What has brought this on? Have you been thinking about everything again?" She shrugged.

A/N: Yeah it's been a while, but I finally got it back up. Thank you to princess for asking if I was going to continue. Sorry that's taken this long though. I have had Drill team practices, and yearbook deadlines, and I've had the flu all at the same time and my life is pretty hectic. I hope to put another chapter up soon.

I know that this might be a little confusing right now, but it will make sense in time.
