This explained why he wasn't upset about not going back home for the holidays. Ever. He always spent it in Hogwarts.
The music classroom was a nice location for him to take a book and enjoy reading while someone or a group of people played an instrument. He enjoyed having background noise while focused on something. However, the noise that was coming from inside the classroom today was... different. It was just noise. Chaotic, angry and... just unpleasant. Ilya walked into the room with a frown on his face, his index finger holding the page as a bookmark as he raised his hands to cover his ears.
A youngster was at the drumset. "HELLO?" he yelled over the noise, trying to get the girl's attention. "EXCUSE ME." She should definitely stop before he used his wand to take her drumsticks.
Through all of the 'music' she was creating, Dahlia hadn't heard the door to the music classroom open. Nor had she taken notice to the older boy standing there with his hands over his ears. All that she had been focused on was working through her emotions and nothing else. It hadn't even occurred to her that someone else might have wanted to use the space too.
Well not right away, anyhow.
Shouting cut through the mess of crashes and bangs that were being made by her. Blue eyes found the source of the yelling before the rest of her body realized she should stop playing for a brief moment. Slowly her hands moved to her lap and no more noise was being made but the first year was breathing hard and her cheeks were flushed pink.
"Hi?" Dahlia managed to greet the boy through several panted breaths. Yes, she probably looked very much a mess right now but she didn't even notice.
