Located on the fifth floor corridor is a classroom dedicated to teaching Music, wizarding and muggle alike, by occasional guests from outside the school. The room features rows of music stands and stools, a drum kit, a piano and a conductor's stand as well as a blackboard on the wall. This classroom also holds host to a mixture of both vocal and instrumental practices, so talented or interested students can make use of the instruments here as long as they don't take or spoil anything away.

It had been a while since she had visited the music classroom and she was itching to get back to it.
Making her way up from her common room to the fifth floor the Hufflepuff hummed a song. She was in a good mood today and couldn't really say why. Maybe it was the fact that the weather was beautiful or because she had eaten a good breakfast earlier. Whatever the reason was, she didn't dwell on it and instead went about having fun. Time to make some wonderful music and it was too bad that her sister wasn't there to join her in singing but Juno DID have a life and they weren't together all the time even if they were incredibly close.
Taking a seat at the piano, she began playing out one of the tunes her mother had taught her when she was younger. She didn't even need sheet music because she could picture the notes in her head effortlessly.

Music was an escape. Everyone knew that and Dora was trying to get out of a funk, as it was. A funk that needed to be erased from her mind. YEP! Making her way down to the classroom she was smiling widely as she stepped inside the room.
...
Only to see that someone else was at the piano. HER piano. The PIANO she was coming to play at that very moment. HMPH! She opened her mouth to shout or something, but the music was pretty so she decided to just shut her pie hole and lean against the door jamb. She would forgive the other girl her trespass. THIS TIME! The blonde may have closed her eyes and swayed a bit to the music.
Azura was slowly coming to the end of her song when she turned her head and saw that she wasn't alone in the room before. She managed a small smile as the boy as he seemed to conduct her piano playing..
She finished her song off with a flourish before she turned in her seat and looked up at the boy. "Hello Cornelius, how are you? Beat anyone else in duels?" She asked him with a slight grin.. She had lost her duel so badly to him..
But there had been circumstances.. and he was super good. "How was your summer?" She asked him as she looked over at him.
He didn't go unnoticed, which was what he wanted but he also didn't want to rudely interrupt her. His respect for piano players went higher than the Gryffindor tower.
He applaud her, stepping closer to the piano and leaning on it. "Hullo, Miss Azura," he smiled, reaching over to gently push down on a key. A small smirk tugged at his lips. "Not yet. I'm practicing, though. Have you?" He hoped she was. Last term Azura was a tough contestant, Cornelius still remembered how his knees shook. Like an old man's, that's how.
His smile grew at the question about summer. He nodded. "It was great. Hung out with friends, played Quidditch, went to camp annnnd..." Wait for it. "Got my OWN drum-set." BOOM.

Text Cut: Mason and Owl!

She had raised the bow like a sabre, as if the wood and horse-hair would defend her against an idiotic poltergeist. Instead of said idiotic-poltergeist, though, she found herself staring into little blue eyes.
Mason gave a little groan and lowered the bow, seeing as it wouldn't be necessary to skewer the ?girl? or whatever gender the eyes were attached to. "You know that you're the worst spy ever, right?" Mason gave her best Slytherin-smirk, still standing in front of the piano, waiting for said terrible-spy to come out from behind it, "Will you come out of there if I promise not to stab you with my bow?" Not a likely promise, but meh.
Before Mason could even open her mouth again, a large owl came soaring into the room, hooting with pride as he dropped a package near the Spy. And just as fast as he had came, he was gone again, still hooting. "Wow, you're lucky. Usually those owls demand payment for those types of packages. . ." Like 5 Knuts or something.
Was this eye-ball person gonna reveal themselves now? Please, cause this was kind of awkward . . .
And insert Owl post here LOL
Well, this was a really awkward state to be in, Vivi thought. She tilted her head at the girl. Didn't seem much older than her, to be honest. Also, she wasn't a familiar face. Wasn't at the sorting ceremony either, nor was she her dorm mate. Hmm... must've been a second year.
Worst spy ever? Ouch? Vivi blinked at the other girl. "I... I didn't mean to spy on you. I was just skipping outside and I heard you playing the cello. You're actually good at it..." She had to point that out. Kinda wished she actually was good at some instrument, to be honest. "I apologise for eavesdropping."
Waitttt whaaaat? Vivian stared at the girl? Stab? Was she really going to attack such an innocent little girl? "Did you... have a plan of doing such? But... please don't. I'm harmless," the eleven year old said. She really was. No harm intended! She slowly stood up and reveal herself, in fear of being skewered with a bow... if ever that was impossible. She didn't wanna leave this music classroom looking like a barbeque/Vivi-que.
MERLIN AN OWL! Vivi was amazed while looking at it when it dropped a package on her... her head actually. "Ouch!" And a tiny scowl towards the owl. She looked down at the letter and package. "Really? I thought you only had to give it an owl treat or something." Well, either way it was a good thing because the blonde didn't have a spare coin or a treat to offer to him. Too bad the owl didn't demand for a stroke of its feathers or such, Vivi wouldn't have mind. But it went off anyway.
Vivi looked at the address on the letter and BEAMED. It was from her friend, Andrei! Awww! She felt a small pang in her heart. She missed him. It was such a sad thing that he was so far away in Durmstrang. The blonde hoped he was okay there and met lots of friends. She'll have to read that in her dormitory later when she was alone. But the package however, she was too excited not to open it. Ripping the cover, it revealed a Romanian book of some sort. Like a dictionary to help her learn it! She'll read more of that in her dorm too! How thoughtful of Andrei.
Looking back up, she looked at the older girl and smiled. "Sorry, it was just a package from my friend who goes to Durmstrang." If the girl knew that school, of course. "My name is Vivian, by the way. Vivian Fairfield, Slytherin."

"I try to be Sir. My father always says there's nothing wrong with knowing many different things even if it's only a little bit." Which is why she read...all the time. It's why she practiced too. Her love of learning and being good at things was constantly growing. "I've been playing the drums about two years now maybe a bit longer and the guitar I've been playing on and off since I was about six." Her heart hadn't been into it as much back then however and she had given up for some time.
"Charms are wonderful when you simply want to listen." Hady agreed with this as she did this all the time charming music to play. "I like to play myself though as it helps clear my mind." Not to mention it was an awesome outlet for bottled up feelings.
Hearing that students came here often was nice. He liked that they were able to have this creative outlet. He had noticed as the term went on that many students here had held other talents that the school just didn't provide, so having random rooms such as this one and Ansley's art room were wonderful ideas in his mind. He nodded to show he was listening even though he had no further comment about it.
Her next sentence though got a very approving look. Why couldn't all parents be like this one. Teach their children about many things in life as well as how to respect adults. Calling him Sir and talking about how her father liked her being well educated in many forms. "Your father sounds like a very smart man. I to had a father like that it has helped me go a long way in life. I'm afraid the musical end of things I was like many boys not wanting to sit at a piano so I did not learn as I should have." Even the teaching he had was lost after so many years.
"Do you always play alone or do you come in to play with friends?" The drums being an interesting instrument to play he wondered if they were something she played with a friend. He figured it didn't matter either way, but he had just been curious. "Charms can do many thing. They make life easier and they can entertain." His passion was showing students how correct that statement was.

Looking at the younger student he nodded at her greeting, "Hello Miranda, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you are ready for the term and all the things that will be happening. I've heard we have many new activities starting up." Well Dueling wasn't really new, but the Charms challenge and the potions lab were two exciting things.
"I'm very glad to hear that. Have you been reading up on charms?" He knew she couldn't learn spells at home, ,but reading wasn't against the rules. Always being prepared could get you far. "My door is always available for students willing and wanting to better themselves in my class or any other. So if you are needing help you are more then welcome to come ask." That was something all his students could have.
"How are you liking school so far?" Always fun to see what the new students thought.

I've made friends with a few older students as well that have offered to help me as well."
Randi couldn't ever help the flow ebbing from betwixt her lips. Always a verbal onslaught whenever her lip parted.
" As for your help, Sir. Well, I can tell you now ... You will be seeing me for sure. I like to have a firm grip on things and wouldn't want there to be any mishaps." she smiled.

Chances were if she had more hours in a day those would be spent here in this room. Or possibly the RoR but that was because sometimes she just wanted to play and be alone.
Hady smiled nodding her head in reply. "He is Sir. I think that the more you know about different things the more open you are to learning even more." It sounded correct to her. "I know a few boys that enjoy playing instruments but for them it's their passion." If it wasn't something you truly wanted chances were you wouldn't spend your time learning it.
"When playing the guitar here, I do that alone." Always. That was special. At home she played with her cousin however. Which reminded her she needed to owl him and see how he was getting along with his practicing. "The drums I play alone sometimes but mostly now I play with my friends. I became their drummer in their band last term." Which she was now very much a part of and a great group of girls they all were. Hady smiled nodding. "Charms are helpful for lots of things. Is that why you became a Charms Professor, to teach younger generations how much charms can do?"

"Not yet, and I've been practicing as well. Hopefully, I'll end up doing better than last year." Nearly last place, even though she had won two of her duels. Yeah, she couldn't look people in the face after that one.
She listened as he spoke about his summer and breathed a slight sigh of relief as his question wasn't turned back onto her. Somehow, My mother went missing in the Black forest and was killed by Vampires.. didn't go over well.
Who knew?
"Your own drum set? That's awesome! Did you want to play something with me?" She asked him with a smile.

Unaware that someone else had approached the room, Esme was continuing to be lost in the music. Even though she had no desire to follow in her mother's footsteps and join a band she still found that music did a lot to make her feel calm and happy. The best thing that had happened to her this summer was the Hufflepuff recording session that Professor Myers put together for them.
This piano would be getting a lot of use from her when it came time to study for NEWTs and OWLs.
Finally she had found it... the music room. Kye's mother said that she had spent a good deal of time in the music room when she was here. She had played the violin.
Passing the torch, Kye learned to play her mother's violin a couple years back and was much better these days. Not good enough to pull one out and start playing like some were doing right now (that's how she had found the room to begin with), but maybe one day...
For now, she wanted to look around at what it had to offer and see if there was anything she could do in here right now. Was there an area she could sing as loud as she wanted without disrupting the cellist and everyone? Probably not... For now, Kye browsed the instruments, having a particular appreciation for strings.
Azura bowed her head slightly as Cornelius clapped for her and she looked down at the keys for a moment as he came to lean on the piano and greet her. Miss Azura.. she liked that name.

Cornelius' lips stretched into a smile as she pushed a key that accompanied the one he had just pushed. Pointer finger hovering over the keys, he pressed down softly on another one.
"Me too," he nodded in agreement. He had been side-tracked with Katerina being his duel partner last term. She was one of his best friends and he couldn't even imagine hurting a golden lock on that pretty head of hers. He confided in his mum this summer about that, and hopefully her advice would stick in his head this round if he was to be paired up with Katerina again. "I'm confident we'll both do a lot better and kick bum," he smiled and did a little wink think he's been practicing.
He searched for the drum-set, green eyes going starry when they landed on it. He blinked and turned his attention back on Azura. "Sure. Never played alongside piano music, though." Just FYI.

Azura smiled as Cornelius pressed down another key with a different finger, and she moved one of her small hands to press down the key that would harmonize with it. Tilting her head as she looked up at him.
"Mmmm, I hope we will kick some tail." Azura said with a nod, truthfully she wasn't sure if she was up to dueling at the moment, she still needed to discuss that with Professor Hirsch.. but.. She needed all of her mental capacities for that and right now.. She was just attempting to keep it together and try to fool everyone into thinking she was all right..
She felt like she was drowning and desperately trying to keep her head above water.
She caught his wink and managed a smile.. She hadn't been winked at before.. it was new!
"Well, I've never played along side the drums.. but I'm sure we can make it work?" She said with a nod.. There was a first time for everything.

"What song are you listening too??" Noelle pretty much C only knew muggle songs since her father was a muggle and her mum tended to stick to more of the muggle side of things. There was a mixture of magic and muggle in her house, but it was predominately muggle. But maybe Noelle had heard of that song??
Oh another person. And good thing she didn't hear him say Sabbath's girl. She was her own girl and would stay that way. Just because she was in fact dating Sabbie, didn't mean she was any less her own person. "Hey! Noelle. My name. " Because for some reason real sentences weren't happening.
Noelle looked down at her guitar and smiled. "Me dad gave it to me. He knows his way around a guitar." Which was very true since every Sunday him and the neighbors got together, played music, and drank.

“I’ve played Cello since I was” she paused for a moment squinting her eyes as she tried to think how old she had been when she started playing. “Um…since I was in like key-stage classes? My old primary school had an orchestra and my brother signed me up for it…” she shrugged her shoulder and grinned. “it was fun, but I honestly like guitar and bass as well?” She admitted with a grin.
“Oh…it’s the band Metric? Their song Help I’m Alive it had this really cool edgy bass line?” Mel admitted with a big grin spreading across her face. It was when Tenacius came into the room that she looked over to Noelle and then the realization hit her. They hadn’t met. She could introduce them and make sure Noelle knew the whole situation later every little detail. “Hey Ace…um Noelle this is Tenacius Salander? My best mate from childhood?” The one she had hinted to Noelle about when she mentioned boys that time on the paths outside? Yep. Maybe she’d get it?
“Isn’t her guitar awesome? It’s beautiful I think…” Mel grinned. “Oh not much really…I was trying to use some of the skills I learned in camp and well get the beat and general melody down for this muggle song? Help I’m alive? The one my gran showed us before I went to Australia with her?” She shrugged and grinned at her best curly headed friend.
He gave his bestie a thumbs up. Can always count on her to do the intros "Yup that’s me!" he grinned and offered to shake her hand "Good to meetcha Noelle."
"And it is a pretty nice guitar. Old skool, I like it" he grinned giving it another thumbs up. While he listened to Mel talk about Metric-- "Great band!" he interjected-- he went over to the drum set and started tapping the sticks against the skin. Eh still out of tune. Tweak tweak tweak--
-- ok wait that’s the second time he heard Mel speak about some kind of band camp "Ey whats that all about Mel? Band Camp? Wheres that?"

Noelle took a moment to study Tenacius as he got his instrument ready. She saw the look in Mels eyes and knew this was the boy that she had been talking about last year in the pathways. He was a cutie. And funny. Mel had good taste.
"Yeah, nice to meet you as well. So how long N have you two known each other?" She asked curiously. She wanted to pry. Can you blame her? And Noelle hadn't known who Metric was but apparently Tenacius did. "I haven't heard Metric. What kind of band are they?? "
She grinned as they complimented her guitar. She would have to tell her dad. He would be proud. She finally got it tuned to where it needed to be and looked at the other two. And yes! Band camp. That sounded fun. She waited for Mel to tak more about it .

Azura smiled as Cornelius pressed down another key with a different finger, and she moved one of her small hands to press down the key that would harmonize with it. Tilting her head as she looked up at him.

"Well, I've never played along side the drums.. but I'm sure we can make it work?" She said with a nod.. There was a first time for everything.
Cornelius was liking this little game they seemed to have created. He pushed another key down and looked up to grin at her.
"Good luck to us." And he may even get him and Azura a charm for dueling or something. Like with a protection rune or something. Actually, that would be really cool. And didn't girls like when a guy wore a cool-looking necklace? Not that he cared, but you know.
"Alright, let's give this a go," he said with a smile, and pressed another key before swirling towards the direction of the drums. Then he remembered something, and felt quite rude for not asking. He turned around and walked backwards to the drum-set. "How was your summer, by the way?"
Mel knew from the look Noelle had that she had gotten it…mmm right how long had they known each other? Mel wondered for a bit before looking over at Tenacius. “We...well, I think we were like toddlers when I moved next door to him but we didn’t meet until I was about four or five?” Mel shrugged.
“Actually…it was my first grand adventure I had run away from my brother’s place because I was…being a ‘rebellious little brat’ as he called it” she laughed and glanced over to Ace. “And well…I just walked through the forest to his place and met him and I mean we did have some classes together in primary school too…so that made things easier” she grinned over to her.
“Ooh they are this old muggle band,” Mel admitted with a grin and reached into her pocket and pulled out a charmed music player…”they did the music for one of my favorite movies actually…the song Black Sheep from Scott Pilgrim vs The world” she nodded and yes, indeed she was entirely a nerdy little lion girl. That was when she heard Ace’s comment about the band being great and grinned. “Thanks Ace…yeah I love her guitar, its great.” She grinned.
“—“ she was about to say something about camp when Ace spoke up and asked more on it as well. “Oh it was really fun.” She nodded, “it actually has a lot of locations actually…there’s ones in the UK and Scotland….I went to the one in Long Loch?’ She nodded. “Um…it was the Camp Apollo place? I really think my sister and brother got me to go there because my sister wanted to hide things from me?” She furrowed her brows. “I found a graveyard of ripped clothes that really look like someone tore them in a fit of…passion? When I was looking for a sewing kit this summer.” She admitted with a shrug of her shoulder.
That…and there was something off about the boyfriend now wasn’t there? “Um but basically Metric was an…eclectic band? They do like new-wave dance rock and electronica…I guess?” She shrugged her shoulder and grinned at Noelle. “They’ve also got some great acoustic bits as well?” She grinned.
“You know…it would be kind of fun I think to practice with other people or even start a Gryffindor band?” She offered the idea with a grin. Yep. She’d like that.

"Alright, let's give this a go," he said with a smile, and pressed another key before swirling towards the direction of the drums. Then he remembered something, and felt quite rude for not asking. He turned around and walked backwards to the drum-set. "How was your summer, by the way?"
Azura gave Cornelius a smile as he pressed down another key and then grinned at her.. She quirked an eyebrow at him as she pushed down another key to compliment the one he was pressing.. She could do this all day! Not only because it was super fun, but she liked the sound of the notes as they rang out together.. It was very pleasing to her ear.
"Mmmm, I'm sure you don't need it though, you were so amazing last year. Let me know when some of your duels are and I'll try to come and watch okay?" She asked him, wanting to be there to root him on! And to see if his impressive skills had improved.. Though she was sure they had.
She nodded.. "Sounds good to me." She as she turned back to the piano, gently running her fingers over the keys, trying to think up a song to play when.. he asked how her summer was.. Her dull purple eyes shot to him as he walked backwards towards the drums, she was frozen for a moment, just like how she always was when that question got turned on her. She always had to choose whether to lie.. or tell the truth.
Her fingers slipped a little on the keys as she turned fully to face the piano. "It's was okay." She managed to get out.. "So.. what song should we play hmm?" She asked him as she turned to look at him, attempting to smoothly change the subject.

Reason: He's walking towards the drums.. NOT the piano.. :/

Hady smiled nodding her head in reply. "He is Sir. I think that the more you know about different things the more open you are to learning even more." It sounded correct to her. "I know a few boys that enjoy playing instruments but for them it's their passion." If it wasn't something you truly wanted chances were you wouldn't spend your time learning it.
"When playing the guitar here, I do that alone." Always. That was special. At home she played with her cousin however. Which reminded her she needed to owl him and see how he was getting along with his practicing. "The drums I play alone sometimes but mostly now I play with my friends. I became their drummer in their band last term." Which she was now very much a part of and a great group of girls they all were. Hady smiled nodding. "Charms are helpful for lots of things. Is that why you became a Charms Professor, to teach younger generations how much charms can do?"
Well it was nice to know that some families still liked to make sure their children were well rounded. With so many children suffering hardships he liked being able to hear about one that was getting what he or she needed at home. "It's nice to know some boys are not like myself and would rather be reading or out playing quidditch then sitting at a piano or learning another instrument." Maybe if it would have been the drums when he was learning he would have kept his interest longer.
"A band? Well that sounds very interesting. Are you expecting to go far in the this band or is it just something fun you are doing for now?" He was interesting in learning about hat his students liked and maybe he could help within his lessons in the future. Charms could help out in some ways. Did they know how to make the music louder for the fans? This maybe needed written down for a future use.
"I became a charms fanatic when I was right here in this castle. I was inspired to learn everything I could about how to make life easier using my wand. My passion grew into experimenting with the charms to make them better, make new ones, and figuring out how to help using my skills. My passion for teaching came later on in Uni when I was helping some younger students with homework. I enjoyed seeing them grow, seeing them succeed and it became clear to me that this was the path I needed to travel. We each find that moment where a light switches and things became clear of what we should be doing." Maybe she had already had that moment maybe it would be years from now.

I've made friends with a few older students as well that have offered to help me as well."
Randi couldn't ever help the flow ebbing from betwixt her lips. Always a verbal onslaught whenever her lip parted.
" As for your help, Sir. Well, I can tell you now ... You will be seeing me for sure. I like to have a firm grip on things and wouldn't want there to be any mishaps." she smiled.
This one talked... a... lot
He just stared for a moment. Listening and nodding and listening some more. "It is always good to meet older and younger students as you grow. Both can help you learn and help teach you. The person that thinks they know more then someone else is the one that will not grow as a person and possibly miss out on learning great things. So don't think you can't teach an older friend something just because of your age." That of course did not mean to go and be eager to teach any older student possible. That could get one hexed in a blink of an eye. "Classes will be very soon and you will be learning many great things, I hope." He thought they were great, but maybe the students wouldn't.
Again he needed, he offered help to all of his students so if she came along he wouldn't be surprised, "My office is on the third floor right where the charms room is and the hours that I am in to help are on the door." He kept a schedule and wasn't one to just allow students in whenever, he did need time for planning and marking as well as some quiet time for himself. "Do you play an instrument?" Was that why she was in here or had she just wanted to speak to him?

Hadleigh laughed softly. "My cousin has gotten me back into playing much more then I used to. He wanted to learn a larger range of songs and such like that." Koen only picked up a book if it had to do with music and or dragons. She had no clue how the boy was going to get through his years at Hogwarts. "Did you play Quidditch Sir?" It was a game of fun for her not competitiveness.
"Yes Sir, The Sirens," she explained with a nod of her head. "It's an all girls band." An epic girl band that is. "I think we would really like to see how far it takes us but for me music is second to Healing." Sorry ladies. At least the girls knew this...she would be there for the band though every single step of the way!
The way he spoke about Charms was the way she spoke about Creature Healing. The need to help, to know what you're doing is what you're supposed to be doing. There really isn't anything like it. Hady smiled brightly in understanding. "That's really nice. I've always liked being there for anyone that needs me especially those that are unable to help themselves." Creatures. That light switch being flicked on feeling was a great way to explain it! It was how she felt while in Ireland during the summer break. Nothing else could ever come close to being there and helping out the creatures on the reserve.

Was that why she was in here or had she just wanted to speak to him?
Miranda listened to every last syllable that the professor spoke. she nodded when points were well made and she realized he was just as long winded as she was.... classes would definately be interesting. " Oh no , Sir. I never learned to play one. I prefer a good book to be honest , but anyway, I happened to see you in here and decided to introduce myself." she said with a smile.
Azura gave Cornelius a smile as he pressed down another key and then grinned at her.. She quirked an eyebrow at him as she pushed down another key to compliment the one he was pressing.. She could do this all day! Not only because it was super fun, but she liked the sound of the notes as they rang out together.. It was very pleasing to her ear.

Azura was sweet. "I let my guard down last term and lost," he sighed dramatically, although on the inside he was still beating himself up for going easy on Katerina, which as a result cost him the duel. Green eyes sparked up when Azura offered to watch him duel. "Will do, Miss Azura. You let me know too, yeah?" He would borrow a Ravenclaw scarf and everything to cheer her on.
Cornelius' head tilted to the side at Azura's change in demeanor. Had he said something wrong? "You don't have to--" Answer, he was going to quickly add just as she responded so he just stopped mid-sentence. Azura said she was okay but Cornelius could sense (was that the word?) that there was something off. But he didn't pry, although his curiosity was nagging at him. Cornelius bit his tongue.
And bumped into the drums.
The ruckus startled him, causing his arms to flail into the air. It was almost enough to make him reach for his wand. "Woah! Didn't know it was THAT close." Haha. Embarrassing.

"Family is where things always start when it comes to our talents. Our first friends are usually siblings or cousins." So it wasn't any surprise that she had a cousin who liked to play an instrument. "I played for the house team here. I was a chaser. My son actually plays professionally now." Proud father moment and all. The quidditch gene ran in the family. "Not something I was interested in after my time here, but I do enjoy watching it still."
He nodded as she talked about the band. It was always nice to have a hobby and big dreams. He just hoped they understood reality could be that it didn't happen, though he wouldn't be the one to hurt their hopes and dreams. "Healing? That is a very respectful career. What type of healing are you thinking about?" Charms was good for that, did she know? Though her owls showed she did.
"Maybe you have already found that switch in this healing?" He was curious to see if she had thought out a plan. "Mr. Kitridge has a great career section that could help you along the way to know exactly what you should be doing here to get you where you need."

So she didn't know how to play, but had seen him. His brow raised, was this the newest of the brown nose group? There were always a few in each class. Not that he was complaining. They listened and worked hard and that's all he cared about. He crossed a leg and nodded, "It doesn't hurt to have multiple likes though. Books are a grand thing, but they can't teach you everything." He flicked his wrist towards the piano and it started playing again.
"Music can help the brain as you learn it's something I think everyone should try at least once in their lives." He looked at the young first year. "I have a nephew in Hufflepuff, Benton Primeaux. He might be someone you could look to if you are in need of any assistance this term." He knew his nephew could be a little immature, but was pretty aware when it came to school work.

This was true. Both her birth parents were into music, her father played the guitar and her mother danced. As did her dad who used to play the drums. "My parents passed their love of all things music down to me then," she replied with a light smile. A love which she was gladly sharing with her younger cousin now. Whoa! He had been a chaser at Hogwarts?! Hady smiled listening to him as he spoke about his son now being a professional on a team. "I don't really follow the teams much but I very well may start if my step-brother makes one of the teams after he graduates." Which team he was going out for she couldn't even remember. Oops.
The band was something she was proud of but she wasn't sure where it would take them. Hopefully far but if not she wished the best for her band sisters. "Healing of creatures." All creatures. Narrowing it down to just one wouldn't do. Surely she would end up specializing in one or two but no creature would be turned away.
Hadleigh practically beamed in ways of a reply. "I most certainly have." No doubt in her mind on this. "I know this as well I've read up on every book Mr. Kittridge has on the topic over the years. I've then went on to speak with Mr. Draper about it as well and he advised me to try applying for different things this past summer which I did. That's how I ended up spending my summer break in Ireland at a Rescue Reserve for all types of creatures." Cue beamy smiles and happy bouncing on the balls of her feet. Best summer ever achieved!

Well that was very good indeed. "That is a very good thing to have. Parents that care enough to teach their children things." Some were not that lucky and some children were not grateful to respect what they had learned either. So to have both going on was a very lucky family. "When does he graduate? Is he here?" Being a step sibling the last name was most likely different so he'd be very unaware that they were related at all. "Well the Magpies is where my son plays. Ross Primeaux." He smiled thinking of his children. His pride and joys.
Creature healing that was impressive to know at her age exactly what she wanted to do. "Do you have certain creatures you would like to care for specifically over others or just in general creature healing?" He knew some that just did dragons while others did horses, so many varieties to pick from. "It is good to have a few plans in mind. The band sounds fun, but having this as your main thing or even a back up tells me you have really thought out your uni plans. Are you thinking WADA for the music or just Uni for the healing?" Something she certainly had time to think about since she was a sixth year.
Wow the girl really did know her stuff and where she wanted to go, "By the sounds of it, it seems that the healing will trump the band at some point. You really have a passion for it if you have done that much research and even an internship. My nephew is very into creatures. He is only a second year right now, but I hope he finds your passion one day for it. I think he'd be very good at it." Benton seemed to care for animals since he could walk and talk, so it was only fitting if he moved into a career dealing with them as well.

Azura smiled as Cornelius spoke, "I bet it's hard dueling friends." She said softly, if Jace had been in dueling club, there would have been so way she would have been able to duel him! She would have given up or gotten herself injured or something. "I will let you know." She said with a smile as she nodded at him. She wasn't sure if she was going to participate this year due to.. reasons, but if she was, he would be on the list of people she told.
Azura's dull purple eyes watched Cornelius as he backed up a bit.. "Oh, it's all right, it's just.. family issues." She had found out that response worked well. It was mostly the truth though, she DID have some major family issues..
"Hey watch..." She never got to finish her sentence, he was about to back into the drums! Azura moved off the piano bench quickly and moved towards him to make sure he didn't fall over or something! Eeek! Flaily!
"Are you okay?" She asked him as she hovered near him.
