Once Brady got talking about music it never stopped. Easy questions, so easy. Brady smiled at Trixie. "I haven't written my own songs yet. I do sing a little bit. I also play the drums, bass guitar, banjo, harmonica and piano." He felt like he was leaving something out.
"I am, I was sorted into Hufflepuff like my dad."
Brady was proud of being in the same house as his father but too bad he didn't get to tell his father what house he was sorted into. Brady laughed. "Whistling is good too." That was somewhat musical.
Bradson looked over at the professor. The first year nodded and smiled at the woman as she introduced her name. "It's nice to meet you Professor Tanner." The Scottish boy was actually really happy meeting the professors, he didn't know why but it felt fun. "Do you have any favorite kind of music ma'am?" Brady asked her. YES MUSIC TALK! This was the best day ever for the first year so far.

"That's so cool. My grandmother was a Hufflepuff." Nod. Nod. "Your common room is in the best place in the castle." Oh she loved the Gryffindor common room but how cool would it be to be right beside the kitchens?
Trixie felt her face grow warm and she knew that she was surely blushing. She was going to kill her uncle Oliver when she next saw him. He had told her that all students had to bow or curtsy to the Professor's when they first met them.
"Sorry about that Professor Tanner." She smiled back at the woman. "My name is Trixie and I'm a first year Gryffindor." At least the Professor seemed nice. "I hear Arithmancy is hard. Is that true?"
So the boy still wasn't going to share his name? She would have to weasel it out of him somehow, or perhaps out of the girl. "
Favorite music? That's like trying to pick my favorite student or my favorite food!" In other words, impossible. "
But I tend to favor classical Muggle composers whilst working; it is quite difficult to concentrate with lyrics in the background." And that was mostly when she did listen to music, hardly ever for pure recreation.
Trixie. "
No apology necessary," she said with a genial wave of her hand. "
Better to show more courtesy than necessary as opposed to less than is required," she said wisely. "
I am pleased to make your acquaintance, Trixie. Gryffindor has earned a very polite student this year." Tiara smiled as she heard a common question about her subject. "
I would not say it is hard, more that it requires a different sort of effort than many other forms of magic. It is not for the lazy."
