Isla nodded towards Ceo and then realized that Ceo's friend was giving her a weird look. What was wrong with him? She had done nothing wrong so why that look? She shook the thought off and turned back towards Ceo who was giving 'directions'.

"I'll help you boys levitate the piano. I don't think this one over here," She said motioning her head towards Gabe, "would be that great of a help while she's here." She said, meaning Clara. She knew she was right too because Gabe was shaking beforehand and now as well and if he was shaking while levitating that piano, it would just be a mess. She walked over to Clara and whispered, "No offense to you or anything, I just don't think they're the best with girls being around." She laughed.

The brunette walked back over towards the piano and took out her wand, making sure her magazine in her pocket was safe. "So when do we start?" She wasn't exactly sure if this was against the rules or not and the quicker they got it done, the quicker she wouldn't have to feel guilty about it.

Clara was still just as curious as before, even with more answers, but she was beginning to wonder what she'd walked into and whether she should just walk back out again. This sounded like something that was ... against the rules? Gabe, she knew, didn't seem to be one to break the rules. Surely said piano wasn't theirs to move, so did they have permission to move it or something?

She would ask that in a few moments.

Meanwhile, she focussed on deciphering what Gabe's friend was saying. What was that accent? She felt like she understood most of it, luckily, so she didn't have to ask him to repeat himself. Stand by the door and keep watch is what she thought he'd said. Or something like that? ... She could do that, that didn't seem like too much bother. As she walked towards the door, she asked the nagging question. "Are you even allowed to move this piano outside?" She was very doubtful about that.

She then looked up at the girl - Isla, was it? - and raised an eyebrow, trying to refrain from being overly sarastic. "I know. I know him," she said, jerking her thumb in Gabe's direction, but not looking at him. "I'm not leaving, though. I came to explore and found books, but I'll stay to help ... and see how badly this ends." She grinned at the girl and leant against the door frame. There wasn't a doubt in her mind that this would somehow end badly, but she was too curious to leave. She simply watched as they all gathered around the piano.

Ceorlic huffed at the Bonny by door. .....Also blushing....
She clearly had no clue that Pianos belonged in an enviroment where everyone could here them. So he ignored her question. OF COURSE THEY COULD TAKE IT OUTSIDE. No one was around to tell them they couldn't.

He smiled and blushed turning his head away from Isla next. She was correct in saying that Gabe was now useless. Especially while she and that Clara Claw were around. "Th-Thank ye Bonny." The Flustered Lion muttered out.

"Aye, Jimmy ye can dae it. A'll be yer een. Ye just get the Piano Floatin and Move Forward." Ceorlic Whispered to his mate, while also snatching the Claw's glasses from his face.
"Let's git staired noo!" It had taken too long since both Bonny Isla, and Clara came in too freak them out with their Bonnyness. Ceo stuffed Gabe's glasses into his Robe pocket and pointed his wand out at the piano. "Wingardium Leviosa!" Ceorlic managed to get the Piano just barely off the floor. Now all Gabe and Isla needed to do was their spells. Meanwhile The Scot began forcefully pulling what he could of the Heavy Grand Piano through the air to the entryway.

SO CLOSE TO THE OBSERVITORY THEN TO THE GROUND!

.......It was much easier to deal with this situation...since both girls were being SO ANNOYING. Uhhhhh, SO ANNOYING. WHY.......WERE THEY SO ANNOYING?!

"Why, uh.....didn't we...just shrink it first?" Gabriel was now blatantly ignoring the girl that wasn't Clara; mainly because she'd just accused him of having performance issues. Well, he'd have done just fine if SHE wasn't there. So, it was her fault, stupid girl.

Gabe quickly decided he didn't like her being here....Neither of them...

...and NO, Clara did NOT know him. Nope. Not at all.

Whatever. Both girls were getting IGNORED. TOTALLY IGNORED. They didn't exist at the moment...and because Ceorlic had just ripped the glasses from his face, Gabe couldn't see them, anyway. He couldn't see anything, actually.

"I'll just.....uh, levitate...and you..." Ceorlic. NOT the RUDE girl. HMM. "...guide it..." He was sure his face was flaming...as he said, "Wingardium Leviosa." More forcefully than was necessary, probably...but he was so annoyed by that girl saying he was useless....and implying it was because of Clara. PSSH.

*sour apple*

Isla couldn't help but laugh at what Clara had said. Yeah, this probably would end badly but the outcome was probably going to be worth it. As long as she didn't get in trouble. She noticed that Gabe was ignoring her and she could only be amused by it. She didn't mean it in a rude way, just that if he was going to shake while lifting a piano, that just wouldn't be good.

She watched as Ceo pulled off Gabe's glasses and couldn't help but wonder why he didn't need those. Weren't glasses for seeing? How was this kid going to levitate a piano and shake all at the same time? They were doomed. She shook the thoughts off and raised her wand, muttering 'Wingardium Leviosa', watching as the piano raised off the ground a little bit more. "So out the door then, yeah?" She said, looking over at the three of them. Ceo was guiding it, so she waited for when he was to start.

So he had seen this door before while going to Flailsteeds office or to the lessons but he had never actually been in there before. And as a Gryffindor, he was very curious as to what was on the other side of that door.

Opening it up, the third year was greeted with a ......pretty normal looking room... Actually, it looked a room they had in his house. Talk about dissapointment , he had thought that the man had atleast his freezing ray in here.

He walked further and after a quick look around he noticed the grand piano in the corner. HE TOTALLY KNEW HOW TO PLAY THE PIANO BY THE WAY. He had had lessons as a kid that his aunt gave him back home. With a grin, the Gryffindor sat on the small bench in front of it, cracked his knuckles and pressed the keys on the piano creating a melody.

AKA. Slamming his fingers on the keys , making an AWEFUL melody that wasn't even a melody. Yeah, he had had lessons, he just never paid attention. BAM BAM BAAAM!

Shin as he walked aimlessly, which was normal due to the fact he could be rather absent minded was completely uprooted. The disturbance startled him making him trip on his own feet, this same disturbance was rather loud to the point slightly deifying curious as to what the source of what cause of this was he went to investigate. In his mind he started to paint a image the first thing that came to mind was a infant banging on some pots with a wooden spoon, but this image was quickly dismissed as he drew closer to the source.

Shin had found himself standing in front of a door he wasn't sure was behind this door but he could tell the racket he heard was behind this said door. He extended his hand down to the knob gripping it slightly while turning it. The door gently slide open revealing a rather generic normal room looking about he noticed a figure since the back of the person was facing him he wasn't sure who it was but judging by the slight characteristics he could figure that person had to be a guy.

Interested to see if the person noticed him or not he took a seat across the room facing the mans back. Shin waited trying not to chuckle though he knew he was fighting a uphill battle cause no matter how hard he tried to keep them in they still seemed to slip out.

The loud sounds coming fromt he piano masked the sound of the door opening and closing again. That was why the Gryffindor wasn't realising that someone had entered the what he thought was empty room and continued to play. Aka, slamming the keys.

Whoever might hear the sound, they would probably thought that he was having a fight with the piano but he truly wasn't. He continued to play until he felt something. Or more like he had the feeling that someone was watching him. And then he heard a chuckle. Turning his head ever so slightly and trying to look behind him, he caught the sight of half a kid's body. He grinned as he continued to play with one hand, aka slamming the keys and with his other hand he carefully slipped his wand in to his hand.

He stopped playing as he twirled around in his seat and pointed his wand at whoever was behind him. Be it a student or a Professor, it did not matter to him. "STUPEFY!" he shouted and watched the red light fly towards the .....kid....

He waited calmly in his chair waiting to see when the young man who he guessed was probably older then himself would notice him. Is eyes fixated at the mans back studying his movement all seemed normal but something changed, using his ears Shin noticed the man before had switched to only one hand he could tell cause the dreadful music was now only half as loud as before. Shin's eyes narrowed onto the man almost like the man was pray and Shin was a mountain lion. Within seconds everything changed a flashing red light came flying at Shin, noting the color Shin could determine what was coming at him. He knew the color quite well as he had used this charm quite a few times himself. Without hesitation he lifted his arm up emerging from the cuff of his sweater his wand appeared, his hand was quickly in his hand when he pointed out and giggled "protego" once the word was giggled out of his mouth a pale blue shield came flowing out his wand protecting him.

"Interesting greeting you have their ehh?" Shin whispered in a manor the man probably couldn't hear due to the piano playing he was doing. Taking his wand Shin pressed the tip of his wand on his bottom lip as he shifted his head to the side as his eyes glued themselves back on the man. The way he stared could have come off a little creepy due to his absentmindedness he would tend to stare longingly at something without blinking.

...........................He had stopped his attack.

Kevin stared long and hard at the shield that even he wasn't able to perform so well and a speck of jealousy hit him. He shook his head and narrowed his eyes at the kid.

He stopped playing the piano when he saw him moving his mouth and could just hear what he had to say. Ah yes, his greetings were always interesting. Finally someone took note of it! "It would have been better if you hadn't stopped my spell" he said and fully turned around now. "Next time you won't be so lucky" and he made sure there would be a next time because he just couldn't take it that this KID blocked his spell.

He pocketed his wand back in to his wrist holster and stood up from the chair and walked towards the ....Hufflepuff? yeah hufflepuff. "What you want?" he demanded as he stopped right in front of him and folded his arms over each other.

......"And stop staring like a creep"

The last comment startled Shin to the put he jumped up landing on the wrong foot he stumbled a little jumping solely on the foot he landed on trying to regain his balance. "Sorry about the staring I didn't mean to be creepy" once regaining his balance he took his wand and started to scratch his head with the tip "I swear I think their are a few screws to loose up here" he chuckled as he insulted himself which if you knew him was rather common.

Kidding aside he looked at the stern face of the Gryffindor curious as to such a stern face he took in the words he had said earlier "It would have been better if you hadn't stopped my spell" was the boy really upset that he had stopped his attack Shin wondered then when he said "Next time you won't be so lucky." Shin now couldn't help but laugh loudly in the now dead silent room "so theirs gonna be a next time ehh? You are such a interesting cookie you know that, I must commend you on that if I do say so. Oh your question you asked what do I want that's a very good question hmm.... lets think nothing much just wanted to find the source of that gorgeous music I heard down the hall" Shin again couldn't help but laugh there was no way the music from earlier was considered gorgeous it was more like nails down a chalkboard but he wasn't gonna admit that in front of the Gryffindor.

Confused, and still bothered about the crashing noise they just heard, Ethan continued to walk upstairs to show Josie the room he found earlier. He’d have to discuss and investigate the outdoors with Simon soon. Speaking of Simon, where had his best friend gone? The classified information he got from patrolling the halls at night were already piling up!

Clearing his thoughts, Ethan smiled at his datecompanion and ushered her to walk in front of him. “I’d probably find you here often…” he said as they reached the last step, and near the threshold of the room. “We won’t be needing the Room of Requirement soon.” He said smiling at Josie and opened the door for her.

Tadah!

A recreational room with a baby grand piano. He really should give props to Flamsteed for this. He had been looking for such room last term, and was quite disappointed when he didn’t see any. That doesn’t matter now, yes? What matters is that the room is open for everyone’s use, except of course if the man himself was inside unwinding.

“What do you think, Jo?”

Did he just made fun of himself by saying there were a few screws loose in there? What was he? a Hufflepuff? ...oh wait... "Didn't you learn to never point your wand at yourself?" he asked after watching him scratch his head with his wand. Not that he cared if he accidentally used a spell on himself but just wondering.

........Was he LAUGHING?! OI! only HE could laugh at someone, NOT the other way around. He narrowed his eyes dangerously, his mouth forming a thin line as he looked at the kid. This kid was so confusing, he had never dealt with someone like him. So...carefree. He had just been ATTACKED and he thought he was a *interesting cookie?* just whaaaat?! He had to find out his name, because he was definitely going on his target list right now. He was supposed to be feared not...being an interesting cookie.

Talking about cookies, he was hungry now...

The Gryffindor let out a sigh after he listened to his answer on what he wanted and then rolled his eyes. Gorgeous music, yeah right, not falling for that one Puffer. "You're a horrible liar" he answered. "What's your name?"

"There is no fun if you didn't point your wand at yourself, its fun you never know what may happen." Shin's eyes curiously looked at the young mans rather serious face it was so interesting, he could understand if he could come off strange but the facial expression of the young man was a little to serious for his taste.

"I maybe a horrible liar but at least my face doesn't look like a block of wood, seriously dude you need to relax" Shin said as he pointed his left index finger out the young mans face, seriously if the man kept this face for much longer Shin's hands were gonna be tied and he would end up using a tickling charm on the man that ominously stood in front of him. Lowering his left hand Shin decided to smile cheerfully "My name is Shin, what might yours be mysterious Gryffindor?"

He lowered his wand that was once pointed in at his head, now he playfully twirled his wand between his fingers like that of a baton as the wand twirled the tip started to glow the color of silver as it passed between fingers a little haze flowed out the tip. Stopping and gripping his wand in this hand he pointed it at the man once their Shin muttered "Rictusempra" a jet of silver light shot out at the Gryffindor Shin seriously hoped this spell would land, why one might ask but he wanted to see the man have such a less serious face upon him so a tickling charm would be perfect he thought.

Was that kid serious? .......he was wasn't he? This kid was by far the strangest person he had met. Not that me knew many people, he had only one friend. "Yeah well, i'd rather keep my head unlike you" and he meant it literally.

And then the Puffer said something that made him gasp. He was making fun of his face! OI! not cool! He slapped the index finger that he was pointing away from his face and glared at him.

"My name?" he asked after the kid had introduced himself as Shin. "Your Highness" he grinned. There had to be at least ONE person to fall for it right? "And you better call me that whenever you see me......" he didn't have any time to react when the spell had hit him.

At first he didn't know what spell it was until he began to LAUGH out loud. "YA! STOP THA-AHAHAHAHA!" He laughed so hard that people who weren't in the room might hear it as well and it sounded like he was having fun. BUT.HE.WAS.NOT. "ST-HAHAHASTOP!" He fell on his side because the laughing hurt his stomach and hugged himself. What was the countercurse again?!

Her mind was still trying to wrap her head around what had happened back at the bridge, but those thoughts quickly went away as she followed Ethan all the way towards these stairs leading higher & higher. She was on the verge on preparing to ask Ethan what it was that was at the top of these stairs, but she knew that that would probably have spoiled the surprise for him, for her.

Just then, he was suddenly turning to her and smiling at her, then suddenly this odd gesture towards her. She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at first slightly confused by this, until she'd suddenly gotten the hint that he had wanted her to walk ahead of him. Just as she was doing this he'd heard him mention something about finding her here often & she could feel her heart beginning to quicken a bit faster with anticipation. "R-Really?"

The third year's eyes went straight to the door & her mouth dropped instantly, but she quickly covered her mouth in awe. Was that a piano?! There was a piano?! She looked over to Ethan & couldn't help but allow an eager smile come upon her lips. "Y-You found a room with a p-piano?" It was just....so welcoming & cozy & wonderful & inspiring & just...He was certainly right about one thing, he probably would find her up here practicing...a lot.

"I-I love it...I-I mean..y-you know..For practicing & stuff...I-It's a r-really...inspiring place...H-How'd you find it?"
