IC Prospective: Natasha Romanoff

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Character: Natasha Romanoff
Mun: Jess-mod
Plot specific: N

Now that I'll be a third year I can finally go to the village. I'm tired of trying to sneak out with the students who can go. Clint, we're going to as soon as they let us, so be ready.

I applied to Elmhurst Ballet school for summer classes, but I'm too young. I'll just find somewhere else that will teach me en pointe. I should have started this already but it's not like Hogwarts has dance class. Speaking of classes, I decided my electives for next year. I'll be taking Ancient Runes and Arithmancy, Muggle Studies is pointless for myself and Divination is a bit childish. It sounds like a bunch of tall dark strangers and shadows behind every corner. I haven't ruled out Care of Magical Creatures though.

When you say 'Ballet school' You mean those leotards with tights and little shoes?

Please tell me there are photographs somewhere, and if yes, do I have to fight your shadow for them? Because, I doubt I'd lose a fight against him.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

What other meaning could ballet school have?

Barton isn't my shadow either.

[arrogantalloy]

There is no other meaning, I just wanted you to confirm it.

Of course he's your shadow. I've never seen you without him around.

Don't think I didn't notice you didn't deny the existence of photos.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

You're not observant enough to notice that we're not joined at the hip.

Pictures are taken at schools all of the time.

[arrogantalloy]

I never said joined at the hip. I said shadow.

Are these photos from muggle cameras? Or wizard cameras? Not that it really matters, I'm going to want them either way.

[spangledplan]

How often were you successful getting in?

[Natasha he is so not-quite-but-sort-of disappointed right now.]

I thought ballet classes started girls off young.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Twice, but we were caught on the way back in.

They do, but the summer classes are for sixteen and older.

[spangledplan]

How many times did you try total? I know you and Barton would have done more than that.

I didn't know that, though. You can always just practice dancing on your own. Might not get the best technique, but you'll stay fit.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Every time there was a trip since first year.

I wish I had known sooner so I could have applied to a school with younger classes. You are right though, I'll practice on my own.

Care of Magical Creatures sounds exceedingly interesting.

What is Elmhurst Ballet and en pointe?

[actuallyspeakslatin]

It's a school in Birmingham that teaches ballet dancing. En Pointe is a form of ballet, it's when you're dancing on the tips of your toes.

[thesmallesttrickster]

That sounds like it would be rather painful.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

It is, but I think it is worth it. It's not an easy task but no pain no gain, as the muggles say.

[greenmoonrising]

I've already had enough of Professor Trelawney telling me in the hallways that some ominous dark cloud in the shape of an ominous dark dog surrounds me at all times, so I don't blame you for skipping out on Divination.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

You took it? Was it too late to change your mind and switch?

[greenmoonrising]

I didn't have to take it - she sprang on me at random when I was passing by under her classroom once. Ever since then if she happens to spot me she wastes no time in telling me how dark and grim my future is.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

I need to make sure that I avoid going near her class.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I'm sorry you're too young, Natasha. That's a shame.

It would be nice if Hogwarts did have a dance class.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

I don't see why they don't have a club at least. There is a choir after all.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Well, maybe you could start one!

[actuallyspeakslatin]

I could ask around if anyone has the time for it.

[dropitlikeitshawk]

I already have a whole day planned.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Did you put Zonko's as the first place to visit? Or was it Honeydukes?

[dropitlikeitshawk]

I put 'wherever Nat wants to go first'.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Well replace that with Zonko's Joke Shop.
