Still, the Hufflepuff decided to stay inside because it was nice and quiet and he could do with nice and quiet for now. With the doll wrapped in a blanket to keep it warm, Minjae hummed a nursery song to it as he walked. Perhaps he should come back and find the garden another time when it was in full bloom? He bet Kiddo would love that.
He smiled to himself but then remembered that he probably won't have Kiddo around anymore as the assignment was only a couple of months. The thought of having to depart with the doll was strangely saddening him. Why was this thought making him sad? It was JUST a doll!
At first, the fourth year thought he was alone. But when he saw movement in the corner of his eyes, he turned his head to look who else was in the garden. Spotting Rylee, he turned and walked her way. "Sup Rylee?" he greeted before he spotted the violin and he made a face. "My parents hired a private tutor to teach me the violin. It did not go well"He sighed heavily. Money wasted. "In fact, the last one had called me; 'hopeless beyond belief' he laughed. Which was harsh but true. "Can i hear you play?"
Finding a bench somewhere near the center of the garden, Rylee set her bag down upon it. "Let's get you settled into your little bed, hm?" That way she would be able to actually play her violin. Rummaging through her bag for only a moment she pulled out a colorful moses type basket only it was made of thicker type fabric that was soft almost like fleece. Getting it set up on the ground at her feet (she wouldn't chance it toppling off the bench), she removed Serafina from the baby sling and carefully laid her in the basket. She made sure that she had her paci, stuffie and tucked a light blanket around her that had unicorns on it. Taking the sling off she stuffed it down into her bag.
Just as she sat down on the bench and opened up the violin case someone approaching caught her eye. Lifting her head she smiled warmly.
"Hey, Minjae." The look on his face had her almost questioning him until he explained that he couldn't play.
"They made you learn the violin?" That didn't sound like much fun. At least she had been the one to decide that she wanted to give it a try.
"Seriously? That's incredibly unprofessional for a tutor of any kind to say." All kinds of wrong in her mind. If anyone had ever said anything remotely like that to her she would've been crushed!
The Gryffindor hadn't planned on having an audience other than Serafina. The fake-baby didn't judge.
"Uh, well um..." Rylee began, chewing at her bottom lip, blue-gray eyes shifting from Minjae to her violin then back to him once more.
"Yeah, okay. Mind you that I'm not as good as I was a few months ago." Fair warning. While she had healed up from her accident enough to return to school a few weeks ago it was taking a little longer than planned to get the proper range of motion going again for long periods of time to play certain pieces.
