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.

She said with a smile

"Yes, I still want too. Soon yeah?" She said as she smiled again at her bestie, grateful for a bit of a subject change.. Anything to take her mind off of Chris at the moment.. She gently braided more of Noelle's hair as they sat together, happy for something to do with her hands.

Az nodded and she took a deep breath and swallowed back her tears, "I'm so lucky to have a best friend like you." She said with a warm smile. "You are one of the greatest people in the world." Besides a few other people, but Noelle was totally top five!

Az sighed a little as Noelle spoke.. "No.. not yet.. hopefully soon! I'm going crazy over here waiting.." She was super stressed out about her auditions.. or well pending auditions..

Getting your hair played with was like heaven. Noelle sighed and closed her eyes as Az braided her hair. It felt good to have her hair played with like this. It reminded her of home.

"I wonder if I should get pastel rainbow in my hair than just silver and pink. Or would that be too hard to make potion wise?" Because they still needed to make potions... and other potions.

Noelle smiled and reached back to give Az's leg a squeeze, letting her know in her own little way that she was always there for her friend. Her best friend. "You're the best friend I've ever had too. NoahBear and you are my best friends." She didnt know what she would do without them.

Julliard. It was a bittersweet thing. Because she knew her friend wouldnt be around her whole time at Hogwarts, and just knowing that, made Noelle sad. How would she survive Hogwarts without her best friend??

"Oh d-do you play?" he asked, then laughed. "Bit of an obvious answer, I think. H-how long have you played for?"

Philipe looked up hearing someone come over to him, "Oh, um... I started around 7 actually, so about 8 years now..." He smiled weakly, "Do you play any type of instrument, professor?" It would be nice to actually meet someone else who played... He hadn't yet... But that was probably due to him be an introvert. He kept fiddling with the guitar and strummed it when it was in tune and again was practically beaming.

I don't do it often because if I do then I might blind everyone with my beauty." It was a joke. Yeah. Sarcastic, but he was the one who the sarcasm was sort of revolved around. So it wasn't meant to undermine what Liv said.

Play Ren?? The Slytherin simply shrugged. "Sure. I love playing. You can come into my common room and I can play for you." It wasn't anything special to be honest. He played all the time, and whoever was around was just forced to listen.

Why did it not surprise him that she had friends who could play the piano? That thought bugged him. Pianos were big, and the person had to have constant access to something like that to even get good at playing. "I don't really think the ukulele goes with ballet. The sound isn't.......grand enough."

The squeeze made him smile waver, just for a second. It felt strange to have her hand in his. Touching people wasn't something that he normally did and this was so sudden. At the same time it didn't feel wrong. Strange yes, wrong no. So it seemed like a good sign. Like a sign that Liv, perhaps, could be the second real friend."I'm only giving you a chance because I get good feelings from you." He was even being honest with her. And that never happened.

One didn't have the mother Olivia had and not walk away with a firm understanding of sarcasm. So, don't you worry your lovely head, Tak. She was fluent. "Aye, I could see this being a real fear. Imagine the swooning, besotted girls! You'd practically lose all anonymity." And then they would no longer be able to hide in deserted music classrooms, with forgotten instruments and the hopes and dreams of students who'd come and gone before them ..... And she was kinda glad, to be honest, that not too many people were in on the secret. See, Liv wasn't much for sharing. Yes, she'd learned how to after First Year, given that all her friends had expanded their personal friendship circles, but it wasn't something she was exactly a fan of. Oops.

She wasn't perfect, okay?

... And he was inviting her to Slytherin? Just like that?! Scooting back a little, the blonde gave her friend a questioning look. She'd never been inside Slytherin before. Phillip, who used to be her best friend and was STILL family, had never made the offer which was super disappointing. Call it her natural curiosity, but Olivia wanted to see how all the other Houses were living. "I'd really love that." And to shush that line of thinking, she reached up with her free hang, cupping it over his mouth. "Let me decide what music I want to dance to." The best dancers were supposed to be able to move to any rhythm, and she liked to think she was well on her way. Well, she HOPED she was, anyway. Practice, practice, practice.

Also, seriously, was it possible to adore this human anymore than she already did? Her heart gave a little leap, clearly joyous over his words, and Liv fought the urge to fling her arms around him for hugs. It meant a lot to her that he also took friendship so seriously. It meant that he'd value her, if she were truly able to earn his trust. It also encouraged her to work for it. The best things came to those who waited and worked hard. That's what her mum and da insisted, anyway. "I have the best feelings about you." Some nodding. "You're sincere and that's extremely important to me." Or he seemed it...

"Eight years," Art nodded, impressed. "That's very impressive! D-do you write things yourself?"

Art had to think back. "When I was a lad, my parents had a piano. We used to play around on it, I don't think we were any good but uhh... but it was just some fun. Do you play anything else?" Art leaned onto the frame of the door, hands in his pockets.

His lip twitched. That was a scene straight out of a movie. Girls swooning for a guy- and not just any guy but him. "You know- it wouldn't be too bad. Like, I bet I could get one of the super smart girls who uses words like besotted to do my homework for me." No where would he find someone like that?

To him, Slytherin wasn't anything special. Neither were any of the other houses. It wasn't like Tak knew the history behind the houses and even if he did- the boy didn't really care. What difference did it make that some old people centuries ago wouldn't approve of people in separate houses mingling? None. And so why shouldn't his friend come visit him in the common room? It seemed a lot smarter than sitting with people he didn't know and that didn't talk to him. He nodded one time as the Gryffindor accepted his invitation. Just in time to be silenced completely.

Not batting an eye, Tak opened his mouth wide and let his teeth sink into the palm of Liv's hand.

He had done it softly. Not enough to hurt her but enough to show her that - hey, if she wanted to play hardball then he could play. No one, not even her, could stop him from saying something that he wanted to say.

Was she...seriously? Tak's brows furrowed and his eyes locked on her face. Olivia seemed serious. Him? Giving her the best feelings. No one had ever said that to him before and his smile was just about to grow before she added more.

Sincere.

....

"I lie. A lot."

And another shake when he asked about him writing his own music, "I don't unfortunately... I'm not very good with finding the words on my own..." He laughed slightly, "I can't say I do... Dad wanted me to learn that when I was younger to play piano..." Obviously his mother and him had different ideas on where to go with that, "And I'm sure you were great." The fifth year smiled at the professor, "Though I never learned how to, most of my sisters do play piano... The oldest two just started to learn how to do the whole duo playing on one together actually."

He blinked at him leaning and gestured to the seat next to him, "Would you want to sit down, professor? Maybe I can teach you some of the simple chords."

....

"I lie. A lot."

Olivia snorted, but not in an unkind way. No one had ever implied that she was super smart before... "I wouldn't say I'm especially smart. Just dramatic." And due to the dramatics, she knew terms that helped her along the way with her over-exaggerations. They were the spice of life, after all. "Besides, I'm hoping that you'll help me with mine." Even if he only sat with her while she powered through it... Companionship was also extremely important in her.

... And when Tak's teeth sank into the soft flesh of her hand, Liv sorta just stared at him for the longest of moments. No one had ever done that before, save for Gus, and this was decidedly different from that. It was an intriguing act that inspired intriguing feelings... Mostly happiness due to how nice looking his teeth were. Had she mentioned that dental hygiene was super important to her? Because it most definitely was.

After a short while, she pulled her hand back, bopping his nose lightly with her fingertips.

"Do you plan to lie to me, then?" Liv was usually pretty good at telling the truth from a lie, FYI.

The young man was very humble, but Art was sure Mr Chev was much better than he thought. People generally were, after all.

Art smiled at his response. "I'm a bit the same. Terrible at journaling and poetry, though my brothers are very good at it." Art chuckled at his response, and then found himself nodding at the kind offer. "Yes, yes I think I will! Thank you Mr Chev, I'm going to give you five points for offering to teach an Old Professor a new skill." Art picked up one of the other guitars and sat down with the young Hufflepuff. He was going to send a letter to his friend Paul, complimenting him on such fine students. "Maybe I can try to remember fur elise and show you that on the piano," he suggested. Perhaps it would be like riding a bicycle, and if not... he was sure he'd have a laugh. He copied what the young lad was doing, with how the guitar was sitting on his lap. "How's this?" he asked.

Dramatic. He let the words mull over in his head, face turned slightly as he stared at her. When he thought of someone dramatic he thought of people who were loud, and craved attention. The people who wanted everyone to look at them and always made a big stink of fuss about something. However that was not Liv. At least, not her from what he could tell. "I say you're smart." So that's all he would say on that matter.

Resisting the urge to suck in his breath, he couldn't help as his brows furrowed together. She wanted help? "I won't be able to do much for you." Another honest sentence. It was almost as if something was wrong with him.

One thing that had to be noted: Olivia Phillips had pretty eyes. Which was probably why she was so high on his list. It only made sense the longer they the Gryffindor stares at him.

The was no real answer to her question so instead of saying anything Tak just shrugged. Did he want to lie to her? No. But did he plan to? Well....yeah, because if he didn't she's know the real Takeru Asakura. And he didn't want anyone to know that person.

Loud? Craved attention? Welp, to be honest, that was her... sometimes. Depended on her mood, but if Tak wanted to believe she was smart... Actually, she kinda... really liked that.

So, yes, please think I'm smart.

With a slight blush, her attention shifted, eyes sweeping over the classroom. How had she not known there was a music class available? Not that Olivia herself was especially talented in that way. Dancing? Yes. Actually creating music? Not so much. Of course, her mother played piano, but upon trying to teach her, there had been lots of bickering and arguments. To the blonde, pianos sounded beautiful, but actually sitting down and learning how to play them... that was was boooooring. Too much sitting, in fact. It made her anxious and restless.

... How long had they been sitting in here, anyway? They'd, no doubt, missed their next lesson, which she wasn't too fussed about. Tak might've been, though. "Are you hungry?" Squeezing his hand a little, Liv offered her best smile. Perfect segue into food was perfect.

He honestly wouldn't care if they missed their next lesson. He probably should have but he didn't. Maybe he did need to care more. There was a reason he had been asked to leave his last two schools. It was just so hard to focus sometimes. Class was boring.

Head tilting just slightly in her direction, he observed he for a few seconds before answering."Sure."

With his affirmation, Olivia slid off her desk, feet hitting the floor a bit unsteadily at first. Gosh, legs, were you asleep?! Wake up! We have walking to do.

"What are you in the mood for? I could really go for some ice cream myself." She was already bending over, shouldering her bag once more.
