But that wouldn't change the fact that she definitely needed ideas. "D'you have any ideas?"
Getting his notebook and pencil out, he couldn't help but grin over at his friend. "ACTUALLY, I do," he nodded. Quickly setting his things down on his desk, he moved to remove a list from one of his robes' pockets. He hadn't been able to fall asleep a couple of nights ago so he had used that time to compile a 12 inch list or so of possible names JUST FOR Emmeline.

Not really.
Dora had a headache. And the cold air coming in was no great help, but it was better than stifling hot conditions and stake air, right? Casting a nonverbal warming spell on herself as she moved into the room, the Gryffindor gave the professor a brief smile. "Morning, Professor. " Because who knew iF it easy good yet? The woman got a small nod as well before she made for a desk near Derf. And Emmeline? She was sure that was her name. Yes.
"Hope you guys don't mind if I sit here. " Not that she would move if they did... "HI DORA!" he chirped. Miss Dora? Derf didn't think it was entirely necessary for Emmeline to add the Miss to Dora's name, but that seemed to be something that the Gryffindor just did so who was he to tell her otherwise? "OOOOOOOOOOOOONLY...if you will sign my shirt after class," he grinned, temporarily forgetting about the list he was pulling from his pocket and now remembering the t-shirt he had tucked away in his enchanted suitcase still. THE ONE WITH DORA'S FACE ON IT! "Actually...if you s-sign TWO t-shirts." The one with her face on it and the one that rotated through all the faces.
SPOILER!!: Liv & Sam! Dora sat next to Derf so...I think one of you must have bumped him off his seat XD if one of yous wanna play along :3 Quote:

There were several songs from the artist on her personal playlist. Clean, Wildest Dreams, Ours.... Liv liked her stuff mostly because the woman had written all of her own material. It was just cooler when someone was writing from their own personal experiences. It was more relatable.
To be honest, Olivia was SO New Romantics right now. Instead of putting a smile on her face, it only caused the blonde to be that much more thoughtful. It reminded her of things that needed to be done. Made them more difficult to ignore... Sigh. Personal lives could be messy. Being A GIRL was messy. Especially a teenage one. Geezus, she was so over herself. On a spiritual level at this point.
Nodding general greetings at her classmates, she eventually snagged the place next to Dora. Hello, Gryffindor Champ. Olivia hadn't gotten the chance to congratulate her or Levi... and parties... for reasons, made her very uncomfortable. They were getting started, so she didn't say anything right away. Just offered a sweet smile. Solidarity.
The backdrop of this music was very nice, she had to admit.
"They were American, yes...but also highly successful? Lots of records sold, and award trophies won. I think it would be safe to say they were pioneers of their genres, maybe?" Apparently that was a huge deal in the music industry. Winning those trophies. Sure, she'd won loads of them for dance, but it was hard to tell if that was different? She wasn't making millions...as they had. In her experience, trophies didn't mean a thing. "Thanks for the jams today." As an afterthought.
Speaking of American culture, Liv wondered what their Muggle Studies lessons were call. Were they No-Maj Studies? That seemed so strange to her head. The words didn't flow as nice. Quote:

No, she couldn't tell her what element they all shared.
Not that she'd say that aloud, of course. Instead, she pulled our her pencil and doodled some music notes in her notepad. It was topical, at least?
Naturally, he assumed Dora WOULD sign his shirts and thus his attention returned to getting that list out for Emmeline when ---WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH
Someone nudged him right out of his seat and into a bit of a tumble on to the floor. Which, well, he supposed he couldn't entirely blame them since he had been ducked down and hunched over towards Emmeline to reach aaaaaaaall the way down in the bottom of his pocket - since his robes were still a little big and dragged to the floor and such - so a small little Hufflepuff like himself was hard to see. And besides...it WAS for a seat next to a Hogwarts Champion and all and him just a second year.

The woman traded her position at her desk for one before the white board. She reached for the marker to uncap. “Some of the artistes we heard included Taylor Swift, Beyonce, the Backstreet Boys etcetera. All of these, of course, are muggle singers. There is one thing in common they all have. Other than the fact they are just that- singers- can you tell me what is that element that they share? If it is that you’re not sure, you are more than welcome to make a guess.’’ She resisted the urge to give a clue; might as well let them use their noggins!
And while they got their thinking caps on, she headed to the back of the class to close the windows. The weather didn't affect her and neither did it some like Katy Toussaint but she cared for them all either way. Save for one remained open.
Um...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM...
So...he hadn't heard of any of these people before but since several of his classmates (ABEY!) were saying that they were OLD made him feel a little better. Like he hadn't been living under a rock somewhere and missed something BIG in today's pop culture or something. Although living under a rock wouldn't be SO bad. He found lots of neat bugs and sometimes lizards there. Like just the other day on the grounds when he had been out collecting worms for Scamander with Chloe. Well, after the whole Aguamenti incident had been resolved at least.
Um...what were they talking about?
Considering he had no idea who these people were other than they SANG and that was already a given...the Hufflepuff decided to just keep quiet and er...find himself a seat then. Yes.
