Beth and Reese Fluttery Pegasi Quinn listened to her friends chat while she played, letting herself get partially lost in the music. When she finished the piece and reality started to return around her like rays of sunlight parting the clouds, she sat down and gently placed her violin and bow back into their case.
It was still another moment before she was present enough to respond to them. "Reese, I don't think I could truly see you as a Hufflepuff, even with your robes being lined with yellow." The sorting hat didn't change the way she saw him.
And Reese was right. Beth did have a great singing voice, and it didn't require her violin at all. "And you're not half bad at dancing either," she add to Reese.
After another brief moment of silence, Quinn returned her violin to her bag and pulled out her wand. "Lumos. Isn't there supposed to be a giant chess set here somewhere?"
