Olivia was so into the melody that she didn't even notice another person enter the room. Done with the forte part, she brought the music down to the mezzopiano. This was the part when she heard quite a loud creak from the floor, she didn't glance up or stop playing. She continued. She had to finish the song. Knowing that she had a visitor only made her grin more and feel more daring to show off. Her fingers still played the keys but very softly now at a pianissimo level.
Hitting the last note, she pulled her hands away from the keys and glanced up to find her visitor was someone she recognized. It was Brent, right? The guy who dropped/threw the TDK album. Olivia was glad to see him. He had been a pretty cool guy. "Oh. Hey Brent! How's it going? Could you guess what song that was?" she asked with a grin.

The music room called to him and Sir Nicholas appeared through the wall. The music might relax the ghost. He paused and allowed his transparent body to float gently in the air as he listened. "Hmmm," he sighed.
Duuuuude. She was good. No wonder she'd been in the music store that day. She hadn't mentioned then that she played an instrument, but then again, their conversation had been cut short for one reason or another. Brent couldn't remember now. The song eventually came to an end, and Brent kind of entertained the idea of slipping unnoticed out of the room. Who knew if she had even wanted an eavesdropper when she was playing her song.
She glanced up, though, and he was caught. He grinned at her, deciding to compliment her and hope she wasn't mad. She didn't seem mad, though, and HEYYY--she even remembered his name!
"That was some awesome piano playing," he said.
"I had no idea you played." Then again, it wasn't like he knew her well or anything. He shook his head.
"The tune's familiar, but I can't place the name."
The room was getting packed now! When he'd first walked in, it had just been him and Olivia, but now he couldn't help but notice the ghost floating around nearby.
"Hey there, Sir Nick," he said. SEEEE! He was brushing up on his Hogwarts trivia now!
