But then he remembered what Chloe had told him and he felt a bit better. "This is Kiddo" he said as he held him up for her to see. "Serafina is a nice name, how did you come up with it?" he asked with a curious tone in his voice.

She was absolutely right that learning an instrument was time consuming and a lot of effort needed to be put in to it. Minjae nodded his head at everything Rylee said, feeling good that finally someone other than his personal chauffeur understood him. "How long have you been playing the violin?" he asked as he looked up at her from his seated position on the ground and the baby doll on his lap. "And do you play for fun or do want to play in an orchestra one day?"

"So far, i think it is my only talent and here it isn't even a talent" he sighed. "i'm not good at anything in particular. My grades are average. I don't stand out in any subjects" he had favorite subjects like DADA and Potions but he wasn't a genius at them. "But you know what? I think that's not so bad. I think that being content with what i can do even if its mediocre brings me more happiness than when i stand out"

As for his parents being shocked , he nodded his head once again. "We came to England to get me checked out at a private hospital here because they thought i was seriously ill" he laughed as he thought back. "But when a staff member came to our house and explained about me and Hogwarts they didn't believe it at first. I mean, who would right?" he shrugged. "But they believed it eventually and i was allowed to go. It was also the first time that i went somewhere without my personal chauffeur and traveled alone so...that was weird" It was probably the main reason why his parents had been so against him going to Hogwarts. Not because he was going to learn about magic instead of going to business school like planned but that he would be alone for the first time.

He guessed he did have a talent though. And that was vanishing things without meaning to or knowing how he had done it. Last time it had happened it was during Transfiguration class three lessons ago.

Minjae looked at Rylee for a moment as she spoke about her accident. He wanted to know what had happened but he also had a feeling that she didn't feel comfortable talking about it. "Is that why you left Hogwarts some time ago?" he asked carefully."Contrary to popular belief, i am a good listener so if you want to talk about it to someone who isn't that close to you, you can find me" And if she didn't want to, he was cool with it.

Ooooooh! she agreed to play something for him and Kiddo?! Minjae sat more upright as he gave her his full attention now. He didn't care if it was good or not ~~though he could not promise that he wouldn't put his fingers in his ears if it was THAT bad...~~ but when she started playing he didn't think that he needed to. If she made mistakes, it was unnoticeable to an untrained ear like him.

A small smile tugged at her lips as she heard what he named his 'baby'. It wasn't necessarily a name she would have chosen but who was she at all to judge? At least he gave the 'baby' a name AND he seemed to be taking good care of him. "That's a cute name and he's a cutie." Therefore the name fit. "Thank you. I enjoy choosing names that I don't hear very often this is one of them. I also try to go with a name or a meaning that fits well." Plus she ran it by Stefan and he liked the name as well so that was a huge plus.

"I didn't start learning at all until about half-way through my second year? So about five or so years with some breaks in between." She always had a way of taking on way to much and then trying to organize her time to get everything done. Rylee shook her head right away. "No. As much as I enjoy playing I'm not orchestra level. I mainly play to help clear my head and because music has always been a big part of my life."

Rylee listened quietly but only until Minjae had finished speaking. "As long as you're happy with what you're doing and what you're accomplishing than that's the important thing." Happiness was key. "You never know though... you might just be really good at something you don't even know about. Maybe you have a have a hidden talent that hasn't had an opportunity to make itself known yet."

"Seriously?" She couldn't keep from laughing a little. That was something she hadn't heard before. "Good thing you're not ill and they learned that what was happening had cause." He had a chauffeur?? Usually that meant money, which could explain his parents wanting him to learn music so they could brag to their friends and attending big parties. "Being alone can be hard at first but once you make friends it get better." She had always known she would attend Hogwarts, the problem for her was her older sister had been here first which in her eyes meant she had a LOT to live up to.

"It was. In all honesty I shouldn't have even returned at all when term started but that was me being stubborn. Being home for a few months longer really helped." Rylee smiled thankful that he wasn't asking a lot of questions. "Thanks, I appreciate that." Not many people knew what truly happened but if things worked out as planned for her in the next few months she wouldn't care if they knew or not.

Her song choice could have been better but she had gone with a song that was special to her. One she had learned a few years ago and had always helped her through rough times. The more she played, the easier it was for her to relax and focus only on the music. All to soon the final note came and with a gentle sigh, Ry placed her violin and bow down beside her on the bench, eyes finding her small audience again, a light smile on her lips.
