Default Music Classroom


Upon entering this large classroom, it is very obvious what its purpose is. This room is dedicated to teaching Muggle and Wizard Music and is used by members of both the Frog Choir and Orchestra. Instrument cases of all shapes and sizes as well as rows of music stands with accompanying stools fill the inside of this room. In the front, a conductor's stand is positioned in between a polished black piano and a complete drum set.

For many at Hogwarts, students and adults alike, this is one of their favourite places inside the castle. At various hours throughout the day, wonderful music is made and you get to take a break from anything overly theoretical and hone your musical talents. Fortunately for those in Transfiguration or in other parts of the castle, your marvelous melodies cannot disturb them for the room is completely soundproof. So play as loud as you want! This space can also be reserved after scheduled class hours if you and your friends have formed a band and need somewhere appropriate to practice.

Charles walked into the music room carrying a small backpack. He walked over to the left side of the room (left as soon as you enter) and bent down to open the bag. Once it was open he pointed his wand inside and said an incantaion.

A small table popped out of the bag and set itself up on a spare section of the floor.

Next he reached his hand inside the bag and procured a sparkling blue music box. Setting it on the table, he reached down and took another and then another. There were dozens inside the bag, none of them magical - but all made to fit with a simple charm.

When the bag was emptied he stood and surveyed his work, a satisfied grin on his face."Splendid."

Unsure of if he was in the right place, he pushed open the door. Instantly, he knew he was in the right place. With various musical instruments he recognised from home, he entered the room, a feeling of ease washing over him. Reaching back, he pulled his Ukulele from his rucksack and started to pluck the strings haphazardly, his favourite way. Ewan really did love this little instrument, after all, it was his mother who had taught him.

Vivian specifically said to stay at the sixth floor. From there, the older girl would pick her up. The spare office was at the sixth floor. She was also told not to go inside. Just right outside the door. Oli nodded in agreement. Right outside the Ravenclaw common room, Oli was all twinkly, the little girl was happy, someone like Vivian was so accommodating enough to offer up her time to tour her around Hogwarts.

Oli pranced her way to her destination. She suddenly stopped at the door which says musical.

She looked at her watch. She has enough plenty time before she meets Vivian. She could spare a little more.

Oli glued her ears by the door. She couldn't hear anything. Then she pushed the door open.

Oli pranced her way to her destination. She stopped at the boy's bathroom when suddenly she heard something.

♫♫♫...♫...♫♫...♫♫♫♫...♫♫

Oli followed where the musical sounds were coming from. Someone was playing on the next door.

"This door?" Oli looked at her watch. She has enough plenty time before she meets Vivian. She could spare a little more.

Oli glued her ears by the door. She was sure of it, the sounds were here.

Oli pushed the door open.

Sitting down now and leaning back against the wall, he closed his eyes continued plucking from memory. There really was something comforting about music; It reminded him of home. Slowly, the haphazard plucking changed into a steady strumming of happy? Or was it sad notes? It really was hard to tell. It was his favourite Uke cover song... La Vie en Rose. In all honestly, he knew It was a sad song, but he couldn’t help himself. He loved it.

Eyes still closed, he heard a creak. Still pulling at the strings, he opened his eyes and turned towards the door to see who had disturbed him. It was... the girl who fell over and dropped her books. Olivia? Sitting up slightly now, Ewan looking into her green eyes inquisitively. Huh... Just like the sea.

The guy was holding something in his hands. She wasn't exactly sure what that was. It was quite similar with her mother's violin but there were somewhat ickle differences. Upon contemplating what the instrument the guy was holding, Oli moved her feet towards him. She cannot exactly recognize who he was at first because of the dim lighting.

Uh oh. It was the guy named Ewan from the food stands and from the train. Oli was running from him but coincidences always seemed to pull them together to sort things out. Or for Oli to sort things out with him.

Still clutching the door knob, Olivia debated to herself whether to run away and close the door (he might not have recognized her yet) or pluck up all the courage to straighten out everything between them.

"I was just curious about this door." As her eyes scanned the room, Olivia's glance darted across the piano. Her father used to play it. You could say her family's quite musically inclined but not little Oli. She was never interested with the instruments at home. But she was more than familiar with a lot of them.

Even for Ewan, this was a new situation. He’d never really played the Uke in front of anyone before. Well, except his mother and father, but they didn’t count. As she entered the room more now, the shadow lifting from her face, Ewan stopped plucking the musical instrument. She didn’t need to hear him play. Especially that song!

Taking a deep breath, he continued to look into her eyes briefly before rearranging his slightly shocked facial expression into a friendly smile. You could tell a lot about a person from the look in their eyes and Ewan could tell that Olivia was unsure of what to do. Choosing to ‘forget’ the whole book falling incident, he continued to smile, reassuringly. At least, he hoped it was a reassuring smile. He could never tell. “Oh, hey, it’s no problem. I was uh..” Blushing now slightly, he held up his Ukulele for her to see. The dark sheen of the koa wood reflected the dim light that shone into the room from the open door, making it look almost magical. Well, what a muggle may call magical.

“Do... you play the Uke?” amused now at her hand, still clutching the door knob. She was in Ravenclaw too, so they really should get to know each other. “You can have a go of mine if you want?” tapping the space next to him on the floor now, as if daring her to come join him. Ewan really was trying to make her forget their first encounter.

With all the things rushing through her mind, Olivia almost overlooked the fact that the melody ceased from existing. She noticed that Ewan stopped playing.

Oli studied his face, waiting for his reaction about what she said and of course if he still remembers the incident at Diagon Alley. Oli retired from all the what ifs when he chose to mention about something other than the Diagon Alley incident. Ewan never recognized her!

"Uke?" Olivia was still drawn to his face. Now that the storm had passed, Olivia Hurst won this fight. From the train to the feast, she avoided the flock of students so that she could also avoid Ewan. But why was that feeling of defeat lingered on her mind?

Oli tried to rearrange her thoughts and compose herself. She needed to be physically present right now. "I don't really..." Oli made a small wave of her hand with a small smile. "I don't really know how to use it."

Breakthrough! Grinning now at the faintest of smiles on her face, he started to play one of the basic melodies he’d learned when he first started playing. It was simple enough, but he enjoyed playing it. It was happy. Joyful almost. Like you’d just stepped off a place in Hawaii. “You know, I could... teach you if you want to learn?”. He’d never had a teacher so for him to teach someone else would be different, but, he didn’t mind. “It’s actually one of the easier string instruments to learn because there’s only four!” He plucked each one, one by one, to show her this. It had been a battle, a war almost, but he’d managed to make her ease up around him. Maybe it was because he was always so relaxed, but he could tell when people were tense, so he always felt the need to try and make them at ease.

“So... what do you prefer to be known as, Olivia? Oli? Liv?” He continued to play, changing up the song every so often. “I’m just Ewan. Although my mother did used to call me Ewwie when I was younger”. Without realizing, his happy Hawaiian song morphed into his favourite song again. Wincing slightly, he stopped abruptly and lowered his Uke to his side. “You know... I don’t smell. You can come into the room”. Following her gaze, he looked towards the Piano that sat next to the drum set. Interesting.

As someone with musical abilities, Oli's mother insisted for her to learn a lot of musical instruments. However, Oli prefers running and swimming and skateboarding, stuffs that were played outdoors. "I used to get lessons with violins but I never really learned."

"You can call me Olivia." As a girl, Olivia still needed her walls up there. Oli chuckled at Ewan's attempt for a jest, twice. (1) nickname Ewwie and (2) that he does not smell so Oli could come closer.

Not to squash Ewan's self esteem, Olivia slowly made her way so that she could fully see his face. "Ewwie sounds nice, really," Oli managed to sincerely grin this time. It was easy. Being with Ewan was easy and relaxed. The music also helped in calming her bones. Oli could see them together as friends from here onward.

She couldn't stopped glancing at the piano, like it would open if she put too much focus on it. She never really learned anything but she was interested with pianos. Not that she could play but she always loved the melody coming from it.

Unsure of why he’d told her about ‘Ewwie’, he just smiled. It really had just been his mother that called him that, and with her gone... Grasping on anything to change the subject, “Aha that’s pretty cool! I’ve never played Violin. I mean, I’m pretty good at Uke and Piano but that’s about it”.

Noticing her continuing ease, Ewan slunk back more now and continued to pluck the strings of his Uke in a cheerful manor. It was amazing how at ease he felt. With his legs outstretched in front of him, he closed his eyes and continued to play. Not looking at Olivia, he blurted out “Why don’t you go and play it?”. He could tell she was still looking at it, although he couldn’t quite work out if it was with longing or with disdain.

"It was my mother who plays it. She was into ballet also. I never got her genes." Apparently, not a single bit of it. Olivia was undoubtedly a Hurst with all the brown curls and certainly the long forehead.

Olivia continued watching her fellow Ravenclaw play his 'ukululu', whatever it was called. He certainly was in a completely relaxed position right now with his legs outstretched in front of him. It looked like a psychic message for Olivia to go away and leave him alone. Despite of his affectionate efforts to accommodate Olivia's curiosity of this room, it seemed like it was all an act.

She was even more surprised when he abruptly exclaimed something about going ahead and playing WHAT?

All of a sudden, she remembered focusing all her energy at the piano. It looked like he was also watching her from the corners of his eyes. He was quite the observant type. "I can't play it."

Completely relaxed now, he smiled now. “Aha really? I find that when we don’t look our parents we act like them, when we don’t act like them, we look like them”. Still smiling, he slowly opened his eyes, looking at her face now. Switching topics almost without warning, “Does it really matter If you can’t play it? Playing music is all about enjoying it. You need to feel the music”. Almost as if to demonstrate, he hopped up onto his feet and grinned, his hands playing a light, quick melody. “Although, I guess, if you don’t enjoy it...it can be tough”. Shrugging, he finally stopped playing. Walking over to her now, slowly so not to scare her, he held it out to her. “Maybe all you need to do is find the right thing?”. He was pretty sure she would turn down the chance to try his Uke but how could he pass up the opportunity to pass on music to another person? Especially another Ravenclaw? If anyone could pick up an instrument and become a natural, it would be one of his house mates. His friends? Maybe. With a slight swell in his chest, he waited in anticipation.

She never really liked her mother but she liked her mother more than she liked her father. "By all accounts, I do not look like her and do not act like her." Olivia's Mum was all about powdering her face, looking all presentable and making sure she's perfect anytime and anywhere. Olivia almost grew up with her Aunt Jasmine and is almost always being taken cared of by her cousin Ely. Ely was ages older than her but he was her only cousin, so she's got no other options available. Nonetheless, her grandmother was very loving towards her.

Ewan was getting all comfy with Oli almost as if forcing her to do something she didn't want to. Yes, it does matter. Oli defensively made a mental note but dismissed on speaking it aloud.

Her fellow Ravenclaw stood up and played something with his ukululu...his hair was bouncing through his head. Music seemed to give him a completely different identity from the somebody Oli was running away from. Quickly, Ewan went to head towards Oli's place and motioned her to try out his instrument. Oli rolled her eyes subtly. The guy towered over her, which she hadn't noticed the first time they met. "Could you just play the piano for me?"

Oli rolled her eyes subtly. The guy towered over her, which she hadn't noticed the first time they met. "Could you just play the piano for me?"
Shock fluttered across his face now as he took a small step back. For a short person, she sure radiated a lot of... anger? Tension? When she talked about her parents. “Aha, that’s fair. I mean, people say I look like my Dad a lot, but I don’t see it”. Leaving the subject drop for a moment, he lowered his Uke, grabbed his rucksack slid it in, taking care that nothing scratched the wood. He didn’t usually take this long but he wanted a little bit of time to mull over what she had said about her mother. Or rather, her face when she said it. It was. Hostile. Sheepishly, he dropped his rucksack down where he was sitting and turned back to look at her, “Sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you”.

Looking down at her briefly, he walked towards the piano and sat down. Stretching his hands out, he moved them up and down the cold keys effortlessly, forming nothing in particular. Despite his focus on the keys, he couldn’t help but admire the craftsmanship on the Piano. He’d only ever used a cheap, hand-me-down one at home. This one was a piece of art. Playing a slow piece now, he looked at Olivia, eyes briefly scanning her brown hair before they settled on her eyes. “What would you like me to play?”, a small smile on his face.

It might have reverberated differently but Oli didn't really mean to talk bad about her mother. Her mother was in all actuality only trying to get to know her. And she was giving her the chance. Her Mum even cried at the Platform before sending her to the train. Her Mum had Oli early so it was only wise to give her a little more time to find herself. Only it took her almost a decade to formally gather her wits together. "No. It's fine. We're not really in good terms right now. But she was lovely." Their relationship was a work in progress.

Oli watched Ewan walked towards the piano and turned at her direction. Yay! He was granting her the wish. The piano looked really stylish, not to mention perfectly polished. The house elves were doing a great job cleaning this place. It was nothing compared to the one they had back at home. "I don't really know anything. Up to you whatever you wanted to play," she admitted. She only remembered the melody, it was also the same thing her Mum hums at her, back when she was a little girl.

Stopping now to note this, he tried to let the subject drop. She could talk about it to him if she wanted but somehow, he suspected she wouldn’t want to. Listening was one of his special skills. That and giving advice. “Well, if you ever need someone to listen, let me know. I make an excellent cup of tea” Chuckling a little loud now, he turned back to the Piano. His mother would always say ‘there’s nothing a cup of tea can’t solve’. Focusing on the piano again, he began to play a slightly happier tune now, hoping to cheer Olivia up now.

Amused, he continued to play. “You sure you can’t think of anything? I only really know my favourites, but I’ll try and play something else?” he admitted. He was happy he’d managed to make her forget about that fateful trip, literal trip in Diagon Alley. If he'd known playing the piano worked, he would have suggested it earlier. Focusing on the keys again, he slowed down the pace until it came to a gradual end.

Oli was relieved that Ewan was not prying her about her mother. It was a slip of a tongue. She never intended to bring her issues at home here at Hogwarts. Hogwarts should be about learning and making alliances. "I'll take note of that." Oli reassured Ewan when he offered about giving a listening ear whenever she needed someone.

"No. I don't really know anything. Go play your favorites then." Oli answered Ewan's question. The tune was not quite what she expected but it somehow reminded her of home. The smell of Glama's coffee and Ely's talk about Quidditch. It was making her nostalgic.

Then suddenly, it was over.

Silence.

Not the awkward silence. The silence between friends. Just like that, Oli found someone genuine, other than Ely.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

"Oh!" Oli's focus diverted at her watch. Her mouth made a perfect O. "I'm really sorry. I am actually meeting someone and I am running late....Let's go catch up later at the common room, yes?"

Strange. He didn't need to fill the silence. Huh. He could tell she liked the music. For all of her initial reluctance towards music, he'd found out she could at least enjoy listening to it.

and for the briefest of moments, Ewan was lost in his own thoughts, the silence allowing him.

Jumping slightly at her sudden announcement, he quickly smiled at her "No problem". Jumping up off the chair, he walked past her, brushing her shoulder lightly as he walked past by accident. Picking up his rucksack, he continued to the door, and turned. "Sure, I'll see you back at the common room". With the biggest grin he could muster, he opened the door and walked halfway out, before finally turning and calling back "next time, you can play for me". Layering his final words with as much humour as he could muster so as not to confuse her, after all, he was only joking, he left. The door ajar behind him.

Next he reached his hand inside the bag and procured a sparkling blue music box. Setting it on the table, he reached down and took another and then another. There were dozens inside the bag, none of them magical - but all made to fit with a simple charm.

When the bag was emptied he stood and surveyed his work, a satisfied grin on his face."Splendid."
Gaston wandered down the corridor toward the music room, the little black songbook he carried everywhere with him in hand. He'd written a new lullaby for his daughter and was excited to put it to music. It was a shame he had to walk up three flights of stairs every time he had a new song to try out, but he couldn't exactly put a piano in his office.
Well, if nothing else, it was an excuse to leave his office; he'd probably spent too much time cooped up in there!

He entered the room and nearly bumped into... Charles? Well, that was a surprise! He thought he'd be alone. "Hello, Charles," he greeted the other man with a smile. Then his eyes fell to the music boxes. Was he supposed to ask what he was doing with them? "Nice music boxes."

Someone was coming, but Charles did not pay this much notice until he heard someone addressing him. He could tell from the pitch of the voice that it was a fellow professor.

"Oh hello Gaston," he replied, turning to face the man. Of course it would be Gaston that he would meet here. "I would thank you for complimenting my music boxes, but I think that would be awkward since I did not make them. I am sure the makers would be complimented, though." It was a good thing that Gaston liked the boxes. That meant he probably wouldn't object to leaving them here, right? "I have far too many music boxes in my collection, so I have decided to stop hoarding and to share my collection with the student body."

He glanced at the black songbook. "What are you reading?"

Gaston smiled as Charles turned and addressed him."No, I didn't expect you had made them," he replied with a slight chuckle. Not that he thought Charles incapable of doing so, of course... just most people bought music boxes instead of making them. "They're very nice, wherever they came from." He peered at the one nearest him a little more closely.

Understanding dawned in his eyes. Oh, so that's what the music boxes were doing here! He half-expected they were part of some sort of experiment. "That's very generous of you. I'm sure the students will enjoy them," he said. "I'd share my collection with the kids too, but I'm not sure they'd have much use for model cars!" He laughed, sheepishly running a hand through his black hair. "So... how long have you collected music boxes?" he asked, eager to change the change the subject before he made a fool of himself.

Charles's question caught him a bit off guard; then he remembered the little black book in his hand. "Oh, this? It's just a song I wrote for my daughter," Gaston replied. "I was going to put it to music..." His eyes darted toward the piano.
