With Christmas holidays right there within reach, only a few days away now, Lia couldn't help but want to go home. Even with the presence of her siblings and cousins here at Hogwarts as well... it still wasn't the same. She wanted to be at home decorating the entire house and making a mess in the kitchen with her family while they baked holiday treats. The laughter and shouts of everyone gathering together while music played and food was eaten, gifts being given to one another. It was what the holidays were meant to be like... not being stuck here when she didn't want to be.

What was a young girl or eleven supposed to do to get out all of the angry, fear, frustration and sadness that had been pushed aside for months?

Make as much noise as possible. That's what. Dahlia shut the door to the Music room behind her. Thanks to her older sister, she already knew this spot was completely soundproof. Crossing the room with a purpose, she dropped her bag down near the drum set and took a seat. Picking up the drumsticks, she gave them a twirl between her fingers.

What came next... well it was obviously a whole lot of noise. The goal here wasn't to play her very best, nope, it was to make noise. To get rid of all the feelings inside herself until there was nothing but calmness.
