Then she was gonna sing the higher part and try and figure out how to play that too. And then put together. It was hard work, and it kept her distracted. Given the choice between crying and doing this, Ash would pick this. And that was good. That was progress. This was how you healed, not by doing mandatory group therapy assigned by your school. Mandatory anything had the opposite effect from what was desired when it came to Ash. Would she consider doing therapy if Theodore or Claudine or Minjae asked her to? Yeah. Would she go along with mandatory therapy assigned by Hogwarts? Nope. Would she do group therapy ever? ABSOLUTELY NOT. It was bad enough having a therapist know what you were feeling, but the whole school? Including your enemies? Including the people causing her pain? That was traumatic. THIS was much better. Music alone was better.

Quinn had been pushing himself go out and about around the castle more in his free time. He didn't exactly have the security or freedom to be pottering around alone last term, but now... he had nothing to worry about. Or, at least, he was still trying to convince himself of that. He wouldn't let last term and the stupid Alliance and stupid dead dead dead Rosier have any hold on him anymore. He was so tired of his life being dictated by other people. He just wanted to be.... fine. He wanted his life to be normal and for his thoughts and feelings and emotions to be fine. So, the start of making himself feel more normal was... getting over his fear of walking around Hogwarts alone. He would go anywhere he wanted and no large hooded figured would be patrolling the halls to kill him on the spot. They wouldn't.

Quinn encountered a room he had never entered before, and it seemed pretty quiet, so he assumed that no one would be in there. He cracked the door open to peek inside and found Ash, sitting at a piano and singing. Honestly... he liked Ash, but what happened at the group "therapy" session was... strange. He was a little scared, truthfully, but... he saw both sides of the argument. He just thought that... some of the kids were being a little too hard on the Professors. They were stuck, too, you know? "You sound really nice, Ash. I can tell it's not, you know, flowing yet, but.. it's still nice." Quinn managed a little smile.
