Iris Alethea Whitte~Hufflepuff First Year~Pure Blood
My heart can't possibly break.....
Iris walked into the music room, violin case in hand. She was technically better with the cello, but....she really didn't like the overgrown string instrument. Her parents had chosen the cello for her, and while Iris had dutifully learned to play it, she didn't really care for it.
Eventually she'd been allowed to try the violin as well. The smaller instrument was much less cumbersome, and much of what she'd learned had been...not precisely easy to transfer over, but...not unduly difficult. Of the two, Iris preferred the instrument that wasn't nearly as big as she was.
Iris had considered not bringing any instruments with her at all. But it wouldn't do to fall out of practice, not after all her training. So Iris plastered on a smile, again, nodded to the older girl who had opened the room, found a seat, and began unpacking her violin.

Leonette Rosalia Mitchell Gryffindor Third Year Reserve Chaser
Chloe Clarisse Hufflepuff Seventh Year Chaser ~ Head Girl ~ Dating Sun
Location: Music Club
Leonette headed to the music club with hopes that David would be there. She wanted to see him in the worst way outside of classes. If anything it would give her a chance to hang with someone other than her cousins which she seemed to always do. Entering the room Leonette didn't see Chloe which surprised her. "Hey Victor where's Chloe?" she asked him.
Just as she asked Chloe burst into the room. "Sorry I'm late was studying for NEWTs and lost track of time." she said panting. "That explains it." Leonette said with a smile before taking a seat. Suddenly her nervous started to kick in. 'What if he does come today...?' she was beginning to get worried that David really would come. Chloe glanced over and thought something was off with her cousin but thought it was better not to ask.
Glancing around the room Chloe saw a first year Hufflepuff. "Hello welcome to the music club. My name's Chloe and I'm one of the leaders of the club. Though I suppose I won't be after this year." she said realizing that sad fact. She needed to figure out who was going to take over for her. She'd have to talk to Victor about that later.
Cathy or Cate Cathaline Acacia League ❤ Hufflepuff ❤
❤I am a first year. ❤My wand is... 8 ½ inches, acacia wood, with fairy hair core, springy, and spiraled. ❤My directions say I am... {Music Club and Music Club members}
❤ You want to know more about me? ❤ Wearing: Casual in Pink. ❤ (Oh and my big brother? He's a 3rd year Ravenclaw.) ❤
Cathy skipped into the music club's classroom and glanced around surprised her brother hadn't shown up, yet. She'd bet a fair amount that her brother was planning on showing up in the music club. There was no way he'd suddenly take interest in learning an instrument and put that much time into practicing and studying the piano for no reason. It wasn't like he was taking any music electives. Actually by the end of the summer he was fairly decent all things considered-though because he couldn't easily play something perfect he wasn't going to be the type to volunteer to play or anything.
For some reason he had the interest in learning the instrument, and she was sure it had to do with something about the music club. Now if she could just figure it out. Smiling she approached Chloe and gave a small curtsy to the seventh year and said brightly, "Is it okay if I join if I don't know an instrument or anything... but I can read music and I did learn a few basic scales. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised my brother hasn't shown up yet. He took up the piano this summer. He'll say he only knows scales and can't really play anything but he's totally-" She paused when a hand clamped over her mouth and she looked up to see her brother. When had he showed up? she wondered.
David Sinclair League [Ravenclaw]
Wand: Supple and Smooth//11 3/4 inches//Hawthorne//Fairy Hair Current Age: 13 Blood: The son of a squib and witch from pureblood families Year at Hogwarts: Third Year Wearing: Casual (well for him)
Crap, Cathy! I should have known she would show up and what is she saying?
David entered the class room, it was one of the few times at the school he didn't wear his school uniform, not that his casual wear was particularly casual. That was when he spotted first Leo and then her cousin who was in Hufflepuff if he remembered correctly. That was when he heard his sister brightly ask about joining the club even though she didn't really know music and then started blabbering about how David could do more than play scales and probably mention he would lie about it. He rushed in and clamped a hand on his sister's mouth before she could say much more and said gripping her arm, "Sorry about that. If you let her say one word she won't shut-up. And, despite what chatterbox here says I only just learned some basics on the piano over the summer." He glanced over to Leo and then back to Chloe and letting go of his sister and said, "Sorry. I'm David League a 3rd year Ravenclaw. I'm more of a music appreciator than a musician, to tell the truth. I hope that is okay... I, uh, heard that you could join and just listen, too?"
Cathy meanwhile narrowed her brown eyes at her brother and crossed her arms watching him suspiciously. She knew he was a perfectionist but it is hard to imagine he was that determined to hide exactly what he could do even if it wasn't consistently perfect. What was he up to?

Chloe smiled as Cathy came over and asked if she could join despite not knowing any instruments. Before getting a word in David stopped the young Hufflepuff in her tracks. Leonette looked over at Cathy as she came up to Chloe.‘That’s David’s sister.’Leonette realized as she listened to Cathy’s question. It was then that David showed up and it was then that she remembered her worry from only seconds ago.
“It would be great to have the both of you. I’m Chloe Clarisse, seventh year Hufflepuff.”Chloe said brightly to the two. League why did that sound familiar? Wait did he just say third year that would mean he was in her cousin’s class. Before she could question anything to do with that her cousin spoke up. Pushing it aside Leonette smile and decided it was about time to introduce herself. “Hey David. You’re his sister, Cathy right? I saw your sorting.” Leonette said trying hard not to hint at knowing the Ravenclaw all that well.

"Cathy League, I'm in Hufflepuff, too," She said brightly to Chloe with a polite curtsy before turning to Leonette who greeted David and then asked if she was his sister and mentioned seeing her sorting. "Indeed, I'm his little sister. See the family resemblance?" She said brightly, latching onto David's arm. David looked at his sister and said bluntly, "No one really sees the family resemblance, Catie."
"Really?" Cathy said surprised then narrowed her brown eyes up at her brother and then looked back at Leonette, "Wait, you said you saw my sorting? Why were you paying attention to my sorting? You talked to people about me?" Cathy asked looking back to her brother. "Since when do you hold conversations with people that wouldn't include something about school subjects or studying?"
David massaged his forehead and let out an annoyed sigh with his sister, "Sorry Leo about her and Chloe was it? I think someone gave her sugar for breakfast. Anyways, Catie, was there anything particular you were interested in learning here?"
She frowned slightly and said, "Anything sounds fun. After all music bridges all language barriers. If I learn an instrument I can communicate to anyone!"
"There you go," David said with a slight chuckle finally having managed to distract his sister from him enough, "The music club has an eager pupil ready to take on anything." He wondered in the back of his head where Cathy came up with all the quotes she spat out randomly-or at least what sounded like quotes. For all he knew she heard something in passing and just butchered it to her liking.

“It’s nice to meet a fellow Hufflepuff.” Chloe said with a smile. She sure was a Hufflepuff there was no doubt about that. “I’m Leonette Mitchell by the way. Everyone just calls me Leo though. I’m in Gryffindor same year as David.”Leonette said before being asked about the two’s resemblance. Looking at Cathy and then at David she really didn’t see it. Well maybe if she concentrated hard enough… no not even that was helping. “I was curious about where you’d be sorted since you’re a sibling of a friend and all.” Leonette answered the happy first year.
Chloe nodded when David asked if he got her name right. It seemed Cathy was rather inquisitive she had to admit it reminded her of her of Leonette’s sister Grace. Though her thoughts went back to what was going on when her cousin spoke. “No need to apologize David its fine.”Leonette said not being bothered. It was true Cathy was very much like her sister. Luckily much like her sister at times Cathy was easily steered off into a different topic. “You are definitely right about that Cathy.” Chloe said with a smile before David said how eager the young Hufflepuff was. “Let’s see I’ve been playing guitar for the last year and Leo here is learning it herself. She also sings.” She told Cathy. “Yeah, though I’m not that great at either. Of course there are tons of instruments from brass to woodwind or string. Oh and the piano which we know David’s been working on.” Leonette said happily.“Leo you’re still learning the guitar and you are an excellent singer.” Chloe told her wanting her to take the credit for her talent. “I wouldn’t go that far…”she said with a light blush.
☆═━┈Rory came into the club room with a bright smile on her face and her guitar in her hand and her backpack strapped to her back filled with her music and notes. She saw that there was a couple of people already there and grinned and waved to them feeling oddly social before she dropped her stuff off to the side. Placing her pick in her mouth she used her hands to open up her backpack to pull out her strap and attach to her instrument. Then she took a seat on the floor indian style and began to pluck her baby back in tune. She was grateful Dragon had enough sense to not touch her instrument and her music books since he apparently didn't keep this same rule when it came to her robes, her slippers, and her candy stash. Greedy a** cat!┈━═☆

Cathy listened as both Chloe and Leo spoke and was a bit thrown off when Leo said she was just curious where she was sorted because she was a sibling of a friend. She glanced to Leo, cocking her head to the side, and then to her brother and quickly hugged him, "Aw, you are finally understanding the importance of friends!" Just as quickly she let go of him and returned her full attention to Chole and Leo's discussing the various instruments and the fact Leo sang. Smiling she said, "I really don't know what I'm good at. I figured I wouldn't pursue piano, though, that's more my brother's thing. Mostly my family grew up listening to more classical music, but I'm interested in anything. I know the treble and bass clefs decently, though. And, I suppose traditional songs in Latin or French have always caught my interest, but I listen to a variety of Chinese music too, whenever I visit my old tutor. Whatever anyone is willing to teach me, though, I'm more than happy to learn."
David sighed massaging his forehead about his sister's first statement about him making friends but it seemed she had picked up enough of an interest in the actual club she was fairly well distracted and was more busy bugging Chloe, Leo's cousin, than anything else. David meanwhile didn't say much as his sister had taken over talking. He had sort of known she would show up, though he was half surprised that Cathy had taken a genuine interest in the club beyond figuring out why David had a sudden interest in learning piano over the summer. If Chloe kept her distracted, which it seemed the older Hufflepuff was, she wouldn't have time start digging into his personal life. He was fairly sure last year's rumor wasn't still lingering around too much-or at least not the type to get down to the first years.
"I suppose, I can catch up later with you?" David said politely, with a bit of an exasperated smile as he nodded towards his sister who was talking away with Chloe. Glancing over he noted an orange haired girl, he was fairly sure was a second year-he didn't think she was in any classes Cathy had and she looked younger than most of the third years. She unlike the prim style of Cathy dressed more like some rock star or pop star who was going for an 'edgier' look. She had pulled out a guitar and David walked over to her and glancing down to her said, "Any good at teaching, that? My sister seems to want to tackle every instrument in existence practically, now. It would be good for her to have someone to tutor her, I suppose." He nodded towards Cathy who was bouncing on her heels talking to Chloe. "I'm David League a third year Ravenclaw, by the way, my sister over there is Cathaline, though she'll tell you to shorten the name however you want. I figure it would be good to get her actually started on something-she'll quiet down that way, at the very least."
"Let my healing melody, ease your heart. Let my kind voice, ease your pain.
Victor watched as people walked in, no one had performed yet. He also needed to have a meeting together with Chloe, to elect a new co-captain since she was sadly leaving this year.
...That was a sad thought.
Shaking his head he got up to the stage, "I guess I'll be the first then?" He smiled as he positioned his violin and tuned it just a bit, "Alright then..." He got the bow ready and began to play.
I feelat peaceyou know? My inner thoughts are,"...Such a sad thought." I'm in the house ofHufflepuff. I am a proudfourthyear My puppeteer says"..."Out of character.

Well she lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of a world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles are all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies
☆═━┈Rory was completely enthralled in her task that she shut out the outside world, which completely contradicted the whole reason she was even at a club meeting. She was startled out of her tiny bubble by an older boy talking to her and introducing himself. A third year? That's not too bad, Gypsy was her oldest friend and she was only a fourth year, although she has this thought that if she ever introduced her as her "oldest friend" she'd probably get a headache from all the bitching that would come from it. It took her a few seconds to realize that he would probably want a response and that she should most likely do it not sitting down. So she pulled herself with an "oof!" while leaning her guitar against the wall and gave a sheepish grin to the guy. "I'm Rory Bolan, secon' year Gryffindor an' I wouldn' mind teachin' yer sister 'ow to play as long as she's willin' to practice. Despite wha' people think, it ain't as easy as it looks." as if to prove her point she showed him her fingers which were lined with small lines and permanent callouses matching the strings of her guitar. Rory chuckled at the boy as he hoped it would give her something to do while she also grimaced slightly at her name. "Jeez tha's quite a name! I don' blame her fer shortenin' it. Then again, I ain' got nothin' to complain about with a name like 'Rory' now do I?" she laughed before quieting seeing one of the leader's decide he would go first. The Irish lass applauded the shy boy and even gave a whistle after his performance having spent the entirety of it bouncing slightly against the wall to the celtic tune. When it looked like no one else was going to go she grabbed her baby and headed out into the front before tossing a "wish me luck!" towards David. "I'm Rory, an' this is a song I've been playin' around with fer a while an' I think I'm ready fer it ta be heard." Rory grinned and began to play her tune and sing. ┈━═☆

David had his arms crossed when Rory stood up and introduced herself as Rory Bolan, a second year Gryffindor. He noted her informal accent and the fact Bolan wasn't one of the older family names and when she sounded surprised by the length of his sister's name it further confirmed she wasn't the type to run with the crowd his extended family does. "Don't worry, she'll practice if it catches her interest enough," He answered with a shrug and at the grimace of his sister's name he said, "Cathaline is an old family name. Her full name is actually 21 characters long. It doesn't really matter. She's easy enough to get along with and she'll work hard. You shouldn't have any complaints."
He shrugged and nodded to his sister and said, "Catie, do you want to meet someone else?" The blonde girl turned quickly just as Victor began his solo. David quietly tapped the rhythm of the song on his leg and Cathy watched with a smile. The song wasn't as classical as he preferred but Cathy seemed completely enthralled to watch and hear Victor play. She skipped over just as Rory started her song and her eyes lit up with excitement as David took a few steps back.
Cathy stood in awe for a second, her pink dress and pearl accessories a stark contrast to Rory's much more edgy fashion, but none the less her eyes were bright when Rory finished and she said, "Did you write that? You can sing and play guitar. That is so neat. I love your voice..." She paused a second and said with a bright smile, "Oh, I'm Cathaline by the way but feel free to shorten that anyway you want-it can be a bit of a mouthful." The girl didn't even seem to notice as her older brother end up taking a seat near the edge of the room, quietly watching.

"Let my healing melody, ease your heart. Let my kind voice, ease your pain.
Victor smiled as he finished the tune. He was so relaxed after that...completely at ease. He actually wondered if Del would visit the music club this time.
...Then again...Victor hadn't seen Del at all this year. Was he avoiding him? If so, he wondered why. Was it because he figured out Victor's crush on him?
Shaking his head of those thoughts he walked off the stage just as a new recruit had decided to get up there and sing, that was nice. He was glad people were finally performing.
Walking over to Chloe he waved some, "How are you doing, hm?" It was her last year as captain....which was sad, but they did need to make this a joyous occasion. Make her feel better and all that.
I feelcalmyou know? My inner thoughts are,"Good thing people are performing now." I'm in the house ofHufflepuff. I am a proudfourthyear My puppeteer says"..."Out of character.
☆═━┈Rory put her guitar down and grinned widely at the good responses she got from her first performance and made a mental check that this would be one of her money makers in the future. Before she could fully make it back to her earlier seat she was accosted by a young bouncy slightly frilly first year that introduced herself as Cathaline making her grin. "'Ey, yer David's sister he wos talkin' 'bout. An' thanks, yea' I did write it by myself an' erm..thanks I guess. Never really had someone compliment tha'." she snicked about the compliment towards her voice. Just then she remembered what she and the older Ravenclaw boy had been talking about and turned back towards her with a mischievous look on her face. "So, David also tol' me ya like learnin' different things and w'atnot. How'd ya like ta learn the guitar?"┈━═☆

Cathy blinked for a second when Rory thanked her and said she was David's sister he was talking about. When she heard he had actually proposed to Rory about teaching her guitar Cathy was almost floored. It was actually fairly bold of him to do that but then there was the fact such a great musician was offering to teach her. "I'd love to," Cathy said quickly. " 'scientia potentia est' like Sir Francis Bacon said, right? You can never learn too much."
Her smile faded a bit and she said, "I don't know how good I'll be though... I mean being musically inclined takes a bit of natural talent too. But, I promise to work as hard as I can if you give me a chance!" She ended before adding. "Music is one of those universal things, right? Every culture has music somewhere in it."
"I've never actually bothered picking up learning any musical instruments or what not, it would be really fun. If you are willing to put up with me, Miss Bolan, it would be a wonderful opportunity," She added giving a small bow to Rory.
