I really need to keep a list of clubs I'm in...a while ago, I had signed up for a Musician's club, and I had been sent a letter about it. It was from a certain Charlie Jacobsen...I didn't know who that was, all I knew about them was that they were a 1st year like me, but they were Ravenclaw. I was playing the flute, which I had with me in a case. I didn't really know how to play it, though...but I was thankful that Charlie had actually put the location of the meeting because I usually got lost and somehow managed to stumble upon the right destination, but not today! The rehearsal room was on the 4th floor...I took the stairs, keeping in time with their constant movement until I stumbled upon the 4th floor. I sprinted down, opening different doors until at last, I found a big, open room that was set up so that sound bounced around it a certain way, like in choir and band rooms. I came to an abrupt stop, my dyed blonde high ponytail slapping my face. I spotted two girls nearby, a blonde girl with an instrument in her hand. Ocarina, was it? I thought, for I had seen that instrument before. By the blonde girl, there was a pale-skinned girl with light brown hair. I knew that one of them was Charlie...I looked down at my attire and wondered if I should've dressed so hardcore, now that my thoughts of being in the right place had dissipated. But no matter. I looked from one girl to the next. "Which one of you is Charlie?" I asked, a little out of breath.

Gavin was in no rush on his way to the rehearsal room, but he still walked pretty quickly. He was excited. Music was one of his many interests and he was always happy to learn new songs. Even if his initial lessons had been a real mess, he had still learned a lot during his time with Andy.

When he finally got down to the room (the Ravenclaw dorms were a bit far, after all) he was met with three other people. Two he didn't recognise, a brunette and a blonde. But the third... "Ah, Aurora. Didn't know you were in this club," he said with a wide grin. He didn't expect to know anyone there, frankly.

He had more pressing matters, though. He turned to the other two. "Are we supposed to just take a seat?" he questioned.

Well, he followed by example, taking a seat in one of the chairs closest to the door. He always felt more comfortable that way, even if there wasn't anything to worry about. The others all had instruments of their own, but it wasn't his fault that he didn't have the means to bring a whole piano into school. If only he'd learned reducio and engorgio, maybe then- But that may or may not cause problems with the inner workings, depending on what piano it was. He wouldn't want to risk it, especially not as a first-year.

Kay had run to the rehearsal room, only walking when passing by prefects. It was just too exciting! She had always been in love with music, just like her mother. Kay's mother had always supported her whenever she would try anything music-related. When Kay discovered that she loved singing, her mother was her number one supporter. She kinda missed her mother, but she pushed that out of her mind! There were more important things to focus on.

When Kay eventually made it to the rehearsal room, she immediately let herself in. There were already a few people, and that made her really excited. "Oh, hello! How are you all today?" She asked happily as she took a seat in one of the chairs. She took a look at all of the other people there. They all seemed to be first years. That was kinda cool! She would be able to see how they were reacting to their first year at Hogwarts.

Kay began to wonder if any of the other people that signed up were second-years. She didn't really care what year any of the other kids were, just something she was wondering. She looked around the room, eyes wide with pure excitement. She was trying not to become a distraction, which so far was working quite well! She hadn't changed her appearance on accident once!

Colin's bare feet pounded along the long corridors and high stairs of the castle! Class had let out and Colin had burst from the Slytherin common room with his fiddle strapped to his back and his satchel slung over one shoulder. Was hard to believe it was now December! Three months since Liam died. AngelFyre's words continue to echo in his mind since she had scolded him for his misplaced guilt. Of course she was right to do so. He was terribly sad, and knew he always would be, but he was determined not to let that sadness break him.

And so with a whoop of joy Colin flew up all 417, 699 steps from the uttermost dungeons of Hogwarts up to the ground floor. And from there, he climbed up steps and tore along corridors until he got to the music room at last. He all but kicked the heavy door open and whooped for joy! "OWOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Colin saw that he wasn't alone as he charged through the door. "Heyo lads and lassies!" he called out to those who were already there. He looked around the room and saw the circle of chairs, which meant they must be going to occupy the circle. Colin skipped over towards a likely looking chair near a couple of birbs. He saw one other Slytherin. He had no idea what her name was, but that wasn't a surprise in such a big school! "Heyo Ssssssnake!" he called out to her.

He dropped his satchel to the floor, set his fiddle case down next to it, arranged his kilts and collapsed into the chair dramatically. "Whew! It's been a long day! This'll be so much fun, right?" He stuck out his long legs, leaned back into the chair, tilted his head back and examined the ceiling high above. He began softly humming a tune and his feet waggled in time to the music.

Anyway, the Musician Corners club. As a piano player with 6 years of experience and also loved singing, Rita knew by heart that it was a club for her when she saw the self-explaining name of the club, a club of musicians, although she had to admit she had only gone to the rehearsal room to practice songs on the old and somewhat out of tone piano once since she attended Hogwart last September, and had only had a few singing lessons when she was 7 or 8. Anyway, she knew music is a bit part of her life, she just had to admit she was not a very good music player. Rita actually joined the club a few months ago and already had a first meeting last June in the muggle London during the summer holidays, but unfortunately the old club leader left Hogwarts since Rita became a second-year student. The music club is now led by someone called @Charlie Jacobsen, whom Rita did not know personally but respected since she figured out Charlie must have a lot of musical talent and organization stills in order to take over the club leader position. The new leader Charlie had sent letters to Rita and other members of the club a week before the official meeting time, Dec 3rd, that the first club meeting in the new academic year would take place in the rehearsal room during 3-5 pm before dinner. "Would the new leader and the first meeting organized by them be good, average, or bad? I have no idea! Let me wait for week and see when the meeting starts! I cannot wait!" Rita thought when she was expecting for the meeting to take place when that particular Saturday came.

Finally, a week had passed, and that particular Saturday finally came. As soon as 3 pm hit, Rita ran upstairs from the Hufflepuff common room to the rehearsal room. When she came near to the door of the rehearsal room, she heard there was already beautiful music and people`s voice talking inside the rehearsal room, so she knew apparently, she was not the first person to arrive at the room. When Rita went into the rehearsal room, she saw a group of people already in the room playing music and chatting with each other. She only recognized two people, Ro and Colin.

"Good afternoon, Ro, Colin, and everyone else in the rehearsal room! I hope you are all having a great day! I suppose we are attending the meeting for the Musicians Corners club, right?" Rita waved to the group of people, then walked to the old piano she was not unfamiliar with that hopefully was not occupied by other people in the rehearsal room, sat on the piano bench, and began to play the classical Italian song she knew by heart, O sole moi, translated for My Sun in English.

Agh, were they really only for people who had to sit to play their instruments?If that was the case, he would need to go over to one of the pianos. He did technically need to sit down to play his instrument, but there was a difference.

"Ah, maybe. In that case, maybe I should go sit at one of the pianos," he commented, standing up from the chair and heading over to the one furthest to the left. Right as he sat down, folding his legs criss-cross in the seat, the door to the rehearsal room slammed open. In the doorway stood a boy with pale-blond hair, his Slytherin tie untied and his feet bare as. I admire your bravery, good sir, Gavin thought almost sarcastically. As someone who spent a lot of time outdoors, he had gotten his feet stabbed by many forest objects. However, he was quite loud...

"It should be fun. Although I'll admit, I've never played with other people," he commented, fluttering his knees. He'd only ever performed for his parents or under the guidance of Andy. He did not perform in groups.

For a moment, the air was filled with just the sound of the saxophone before the door opened once more, and another person walked in. This one had a short bob of black hair, wearing Hufflepuff colours. After a quick greeting, she headed over to a different piano than the one Gavin was sitting at and began playing. A completely different song from the other, mind you. The overlap bothered him a little at first, he'd admit, but he'd get used to it, he was sure.

It was the day of the first meeting of the musicians club. Bailey loved playing the piano, but she had to admit- she was nervous. She didn’t usually play for other people, or as a group.
Pulling on her blue sweater, Bailey sighed her nerves out. She still had a few butterflies, but felt more confident now.
fake it till you make it she thought. pretend you’re confident and everyone will believe you. You are confident. You are smart. You are brave.
With those thoughts bailey fixed a smile on her face and grabbed her stuff - she packed her water bottle, her wand, some muggle musical sheet music (Hamilton, The Wiz, other of her favorites) and then a sweet treat- some of her family’s favorite cookies, homemade oatmeal raisin cookies. The cookies were chewy and soft, and hat chocolate chips. A delicious treat, and one of baileys favorites.
Walking down the corridors to the rehearsal room, baileys smile became real and honest, pure and kind.
Entering the room, Bailey saw several people she knew- coco, Charlie, aurora, Kay, Rita, and then several people she didn’t not personally know- Billy, and Gavin.
Bailey smiled at coco and then at everyone else. She said in greeting “Hello everyone! Hey coco, hi Charlie! I brought some oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookies, I hope you don’t mind. I have some napkins for those who want them as well- so we don’t get food in our instruments!”
Walking over to a piano, Bailey sat down on the bench. She pulled out her sheet music, and her watcher bottle. Setting the sheet music up, Bailey set the tray of cookies on the piano, and set a stack of napkins next to them. Taking a drink of her water, Bailey set it next to her bag on the floor.
