Closed VAC MEETING #1 Open for Club Members

➵

Gavin, for all the adventures he seemed to favour, was an artist at heart. It was no doubt because of his father, who despite having gone to Hogwarts had gone into the art field. The man had taught Gavin basically everything he knew about art. Anything he hadn't, Gavin had been figuring out himself. Thus, it was no surprise that he jumped at the opportunity when he saw a signup for a Visual Arts Club posted.

That was how he found himself, lingering outside a private lounge. He had a bag slung over his shoulder, his current sketchbook, pencils, a set of paints and brushes, and a camera tucked away in it. No doubt there would be art supplies in the lounge, but in his defence, he liked to have specific colours and his paint set already had some of those colours. It would be too much of a hassle to try and mix it again.

Briefly, he checked the contents of the bag to make sure everything was still there. It was. With that, the blonde walked in, the only betrayer of his awkwardness being the white-knuckled grip on the bag's strap.

The first thing he noticed when he entered the lounge was the framed portrait of some woman playing the piano. Having photography experience himself, he could admire the angle it had been taken at. Sometimes, that was the hardest part. In rapid succession, his gaze landed on the owl sculpture, the basket of art supplies, and the various other art pieces around the room. Whoever did them was quite talented. He could draw and paint, but 3D art had always kind of stumped him.

Finally, once he'd looked at all the art around them, he looked at the only other person currently in the room. She looked like a fellow firstie, rather lanky with golden curls and cool turquoise eyes. She looked well put together, but the wringing of her hands and the look in her eyes told him another story.

Well, if she is a first-year, I guess it makes sense. Starting a club had to be a lot on the shoulders of an 11-year-old.

"You're Irene Hatchet, right? The one who created the club?" After getting an answer, he would add, "I hope you don't mind that I brought some of my own art supplies. I'm sure that the ones you have are good quality, but sometimes it feels more comfortable for me to use supplies that have been in my hands before." Pencils were less important in that aspect of course, but when it came to brushes especially he liked to use his own...
