So, she was glad to have a friend who could joke about things they were bad at or didn't know, maybe Lisa could rub off on her.
It also made Ollie really happy that Lisa had confidence in her, even when Ollie had no confidence in herself. She knew what she wanted to play, The ‘Kreutzer’ Sonata No.9; Op. 47 in A Major by Beethoven, a piece she had down perfectly once upon a time ago. "Thanks Lisa. Sorry if it sounds really bad." She pulled her violin back to her shoulder and readied herself, closing her eyes and envisioning the sheet music in her head.
Annnnnndddd.... She began! It started off a little rocky, a few wrong notes her and there, but as she got further into the piece she started to sound much, much better. This was one of the pieces Ollie's dad made her learn when she wanted to sleepover at a friends house. She didn't get to, because she didn't have the piece perfect then, but she had practiced, and practiced to make it perfect.
She was a little more than halfway through the piece when her viola strings ripped completely. "GAH!"
Lisa was all ears.
She remained silent, waiting patiently for Ollie to start. And then Ollie began. It seemed to her that her friend was a little nervous at the beginning because some notes sounded like they didn’t exactly belong; however, the more her friend played, the better and better it sounded. She sounded more confident, poised, and in command. Lisa liked it. As she listened to the music, she began imagining a magical scene unfold with their friends as players in this intricate play. It was set within the Hogwarts Castle but during the medieval times with them dressed as lords, ladies, and jesters. There was a ball and Lisa could picture Ollie, Remy, and herself getting ready with V and Serena seated together impatiently waiting for the rest to get a move on. She looked at herself in the mirror and.....
Lisa was brought back to reality when she heard a loud SNAP followed by an even louder cry from Ollie. “
WHAA!” she cried unexpectedly, jumping out of the bench and nearly falling backwards off said bench as she lost her balance. Fortunately she caught herself.
“
OH MY GOSH!” she cried. “
There must be a spell to restring it right?!?”
