Its music ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ 𝕵ulia just couldn't contain her excitement. It was finally time for the long-awaited, Hio band auditions! She had personally signed up for Director, Co-Director, Lights and Guitar. While she mostly really hoped to be Director, she was fine with the others. Honestly, Julia thought it felt fit for her to be director, as she started the band, but she wanted everyone to have a fair chance, and enjoy at the band so she made it a vote. Julia smiled, wore her coat, and started making her way to the small empty patch they had agreed to have the auditions on. A few days back, she had sent out owls to everyone telling them the date, time and location of the auditions, and most of them had sent owls back, confirming that they got her message. Seeing those owls had made Julia quite happy. It was nice to see how many people had joined her club, and how many people really liked music. Upon discussing the club with other members, Julia decided it would be best if they did a Muggle song. She personally didn't know many, but her club had plenty of Half-bloods and Muggle-borns. After taking a few recommendations, she decided on 2 bands called Imagine Dragons & Coldplay. During the Christmas break, she listened to some of the songs by begging her parents to let her see the Muggle world. Julia decided the would hold a vote between 2 songs. Demons, and Viva la Vida. Suddenly, Julia looked up and realized she was still in the common room. She sighed and mentally scolded herself, then started walking out. ● ● ● ● ● When she finally reached, Julia's first thought was of how beautiful her surrounding were. The sun was setting, coloring the sky with soft hues of reds, oranges, yellows, and a few tinges of pink. It was enthralling. She couldn't think of a place she'd rather be. Well, there was one place, but it was not the right time and place to think about that. Plus, Julia tried not to think of it at all. Pushing away her thoughts, she checked the time, it was 4:37. They had agreed to meet at 5, and stay till 6, since Julia had assumed the auditions would take 1 hour, if not less. She was pretty sure she made a good decision in coming early. If someone arrived before she did, it would show tardiness, which was one trait Julia never liked to show. She looked in the distance towards the castle, but saw nobody coming, so she laid out the few cushions she'd brought along and took a seat, waiting in anticipation for what was about to come. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ not rocket science

On Saturday of last week, Elowin had seen a poster for sign ups for a hogwarts band and Elowin immediately read the poster. It stated that if you were interested (which Elowin certainly was) you should owl @Julia Evans. So Elowin sprinted to the common room and wrote her a letter. A few weeks after Elowin got the following reply;
Hi Elowin!
I hope you're well. This is to inform you that the auditions for the Hio Band will happen on 27th January, from 5-6 pm at the outdoor club area.
Hope to see you there!
Julia E.
Later that day…
Elowin nervously walked up to the Outdoor Club area to audition for the band. There was no guarantee of course she would become a member though! No guarantee don’t be disappointed Elowin muttered to herself as she arrived the rpth Outdoor Club are at… yep, exactly six ‘o’ clock. She saw Julia not looking in her direction and said “Um… Hi I’ve come to audition, I’m Elowin.” Julia turned around and gestured for Elowin to sit down. “Hi Elowin! Sit down” said Julia smiling. “So- said Elowin sitting down- I’m Elowin, I play the Congo drum and well… that’s kinda it! She laughed in an awkward sort of way. “Have you brought your instrument?” Asked Julia. Elowin in fact had so she took it out of her backpack where a fellow Ravenclaw had enchanted it small for her. Elowin started to play her rhythm she had practiced, and by the time she had finished… Julia was clapping.

Alex felt more than just excited for what would happen at 5pm, that day. She felt comfortable, but a bit shacky in all her body. A nervous wave was constantly passing through her legs, that were giggling, just showing that. A nervous tic made her tongue walk through almost all her mouth. Another nervous tic made her feet stomp on the floor fastly, but kind off softly.
She wore the school uniform, as it was tuesday, but she changed the uniform trousers to baggy jeans for the occasion, to feel more relaxed and comfortable. In her messy hair, people could spot a tiny perfect braid on each side.
All this happened because something that occured few days before. She saw a poster saying that a musical band needed more people to do auditions to enter it, and that they would have a show soon, hosted by a Ravenclaw girl named Julia Evans. Alex already has heard about that girl, she knew that she was awesome, so she immediatly owled her asking if she could go to the auditions, to show how she sang, played the Congo drum and composed. Then, recieved an answer saying that yes, she could do it and informing about at what time and place were the auditions.
So, this was why she was walking to a small patch, with only three or four people resting in some cushions spread around the place. She arrived at 4:50, so she waited around fifteen minutes untill everybody was there.
She had a strong feeling that it would be an awesome day!

It was the day of the audition. It was the day she had been counting down for weeks!
About a month ago, the hogwarts band signups had begun. Natasha wasn't into singing, but she realised that there were a lot of backstage roles as well! She had signed up to be a script editor.
A few days later, she got this letter from Julia, the person who made the band -
From the moment she had received it, she had been waiting for the day to come. Her role was pretty easy though. A script editor. She didn't even know why they needed a script editor for a band.Hi Natasha!
I hope you're well. This is to inform you that the auditions for the Hio Band will happen on 27th January, from 5-6 pm at the outdoor club area.
Hope to see you there!
Julia E.
It didn't really need an audition, she thought. How were they supposed to make sure she was good at that? She was curious to see how they would select the backstage roles. She hoped she would get it. It would be great to be in a band!
She arrived in the outdoor club area. A few people were already there. Including, a few people she knew. She waited for the auditions to start.

Mikey lingered around the edge of the Outdoor Club Area, hands in his coat as he watched the small gathering from a distance. The sky was slowly changing color as it began to shift towards evening with the last of the light dancing across the windows of the castle behind him, and Mikey couldn’t help but consider turning back. It wasn’t like it was Quidditch try outs, after all. There, he knew exactly who he was supposed to be. But here? He wasn’t so sure.
Still, though, he had agreed to do it. That had to count for something. Mikey moved forward at last, his shoes making light crunching sounds on the ground as he attempted not to look as nervous as he felt. A few people were already sitting down, instruments coming out of bags as quiet conversation floated through the air. Mikey gave a small smile to any person who looked in his direction before sitting down on an empty spot, forearms on his knees.
Music had always been something he did alone. The thought of doing it around other people made his stomach turn with a nervousness unlike any he had ever felt during a competition. He ran one hand over the other, eyes wandering out to the horizon, as if the answer to all of this could somehow be found in the colors of the sunset. The biggest issue wasn’t even performing, though. It was deciding. Julia had said songs, votes, options "Demons," "Viva la Vida" and he had been changing his mind every few minutes. One was too serious, one was too epic. He had no idea which kind of him he wanted to present to the world. When he glanced over at the others, there was a spark of hope. Maybe this was all for the best. Maybe this was all a disaster. Maybe it was both.

Last evening, Riley has come across a quite interesting poster. It read: Auditions for the Hogwarts Band. It intrigued Riley. She was quite interested, as she had learned many instruments and had a good voice. She returned the next to day inspect the poster yet again, deciding she would see what this was all about.
Its quite surprising Hogwarts has a band. I was expecting a sort of symphony, but this is much more efficient. I would love to join this band, I think I have a lot to offer.
Riley thought, examining the poster.
Hmmm… it says to owl a Julia Evans.
Riley wondered if she was the manager of the band. Riley sighed.
Of course she is, don’t be stupid Riley. But this is all very intriguing. Perhaps I will owl her.
Shortly after sending, Riley received a reply. It was quite fancy, and contained the info about auditions.
Riley smiled. She was coming to auditions! A sudden feeling of anxiety hit Riley.Hi Riley!
I hope you're well. This is to inform you that the auditions for the Hio Band will happen on 27th January, from 5-6 pm at the outdoor club area.
Hope to see you there!
Julia E.
I almost nearly forgot! I actually have to audition… that should be hard. Perhaps this will be an utter failure. But… I have hope. If I practice hard and train, I can accomplish anything. I am a perfectionist of course.
Riley thought, smiling. The day of the audition, Riley tied her hair up into two buns, and wore her best jeans and a cute top. She decided to also wear her usual pink converse, as they were comfortable. She had her guitar case on her back as well. It was a bit heavy, but she was too nervous to care. Riley drew a deep breath, gathered all her strength, and opened the doors to the audition.

Astrid saw the poster somewhere in Hogwarts, she didn't bother to remember where
Interesting. Should she sign up? People said she had a good singing voice. And she had an eye for more... interesting fashion styles, whatever the hay that meant. She shrugged. The worst that could happen was that she would get rejected, and that wasn't too bad. She spat out the gum she was chewing and decided to sign up for Costume/Makeup and Singing.
She later wrote a letter to @Julia Evans and not long after, she received a reply
Hi Astrid!

Julia E.
Huh, she was set for auditions. Nice.
Later in the evening, about five minuets before auditions were supposed to take place, Astrid got ready, putting on her jeans and beat up sneakers. Throwing on her white tank top and flannel jacket, lastly throwing on her hat and bracelets.
She headed to the Outdoor Club area, feeling just slightly nervous. Nothing bad could happen, minus getting rejected, but that wasn't that bad.

April was hanging out in the library when she saw a poster that said,

| xxx | Ada walked down to the outdoor club area, her flute in one hand, the other clenched stiffly at her side. It was a beautiful day, the sun just peeking over the tallest towers of Hogwarts, casting a warm glow across the grass. Puffy white clouds were silhouetted in gold and tinged with pink, like colorful pom-poms floating in the sky. After receiving the letter from Julia, asking if Ada would like to participate in the Hio Band, she hadn’t been able to stop thinking about it: Hi Ada! I hope you're well. This is to inform you that the auditions for the Hio Band will happen on 27th January, from 5-6 pm at the outdoor club area. Hope to see you there! Julia E. Well, the worst that could happen was that she wouldn’t be good enough. So she’d signed up as a flute player, since she already played, and as co-director. Just something to try, she’d told herself. As Ada closed the distance between herself and her destination, her heart began to beat faster. Pillows and cushions were set up in a sort of semicircle. She gripped her case tighter, her knuckles nearly white. The wind rustled her hair, auburn tips falling into her face. She brushed them aside with slender fingers and surveyed the small group gathered before her. So far, only eight people. That was a good sign, maybe that was everyone. Then again, maybe not. Ada sat down warily on the farthest pillow to the right, her flute resting across her lap, her stomach buzzing with nervous anticipation. This was it. Ada knew she was good. Hopefully, good enough. | xxx |

One day when Laasya was walking around the castle, she came across a poster for some type of auditions. She usually would ignore it, especially if it was about causing mischief as she did not want to get detention, that to in her first year at Hogwarts. But then something had caught Laasya's eye. The word band. Laasya hoped that they were looking for a pianist in the band as that was like the only musical talent she had, other than singing at a mediocre level. She had taken lessons back in London and was quite an expert. She would have loved to join a band or competition but back then, she just did not have the confidence to do so. But now she did. She sent an owl to the person who found the band, a girl named Julia Evans. Eventually she got a return letter from her, listing the date, time and the other information about the auditions.Hi Laasya!
I hope you're well. This is to inform you that the auditions for the Hio Band will happen on 27th January, from 5-6 pm at the outdoor club area.
Hope to see you there!
Julia E.--------------------✿--------------------
Eventually the 27th of January came. Laasya skipped all the way to the outdoor club area while whistling to some random tune at 4:50. It was rather early but it was better to be early as being tardy would be a bad impression. She was excited as she was able to showcase her skills to many people who were also auditioning. "But what if I do badly in the auditions? What if I make a fool of myself that everyone will laugh at me and I will get a bad reputation across Hogwarts?" She could play good, but sometimes, fear could overtake her and cause her to make a silly mistake. "Well, I can't chicken out now." She thought as she continued moving towards the auditions. The sky was in various, pretty hues of red, orange and yellow, with a hint of pink here and there. It was gorgeous, a perfect setting for the auditions. She reached the area where Julia Evans, the founder was sitting along with some other people. There were lots of pillows here and there. Laasya was ready for whatever would happen in the next 1 hour, whether it was good or bad.
