Side-tracked
(please ignore the terrible pun, I was temporarily possessed by Patton)
(Note: lyrics not mine, they are from 'A New Year of Lying to Myself in Song, from the Sanders Sides series on YouTube. Word count without the lyrics: about 208-210ish)
Lorelei settled herself at a desk in the empty classroom, pulling out her Potions essay. She wished she could have brought her Ipod to Hogwarts, but magic messed with electronic devices. Too bad, she liked having music while studying. She had gotten really into this one artist over the summer, a muggle Youtuber, Thomas Sanders, who had produced a bunch of songs along with the rest of his videos. Her real favorite was the miniseries he did using the aspects of his personality as characters, and where a bunch of his songs were from. She giggled, remembering one of her favorite scenes from the series, then tried to clear her head and focus on her work. She did, however, let herself hum a bit while working. Humming, however, eventually evolved into singing, one of her favorite songs from the Sander Sides series
"They're lies lies lies lies liiieees"
She tapped her foot, and, quill still in hand, recreated the hand motions from the episode that song was from, and the facial expressions of her favorite character, glad she was alone right now. She was about ready to stop trying to focus on her essay, it didn't seem like that was likely to happen, and kept singing, doing her best to match the riff from the original version.
