Gaston chuckled a little at what Kalen said. "I'm the other way around!" he said. "I always wanted to play a more..." Now what was the word he was looking for? "...classical instrument, but I could never quite get the hang of it." Talk about an ironic twist! A violinist who wanted to play a rock instrument and a drummer who wanted to play a more classical one.... what a pair they were! "If you're ever interested in learning, I have a guitarist friend who might help you," he offered.Well, Armand would probably be willing to help sometime when the band wasn't touring anyway...

The chuckle turned into a full blown laugh at the librarian's next words. "I think my parents would've welcomed a soundproof room!" he said. And come to think of it, the neighbors probably would've too! He could recall more than one instance of his father scolding him after the neighbors complained about the noise. He shook his head. No, he wasn't going to think about him right now! "But unfortunately, they're muggles, so they had no choice but to put up with my banging for a few years until I figured out what I was doing." He smiled sheepishly, dropping his gaze.

Then his attention turned back to Mr. Winslow, and he nodded along with what his colleague said. "Which instrument are you most interested in learning?" he asked. He wouldn't be much use at teaching him anything besides the drums, but he had plenty of musical friends who might be willing to help.
