Welcome to Gaia! ::

So, I managed to beat my sister here-and Wendy.

David had known he was going to arrive ridiculously early to the music cldub, and figured he'd either run into the blonde Hufflepuff or Leonette since they were co-owners of the club or possibly both. He hoped it was just Leo but he couldn't be fully confident of it. Or that he wasn't there before either co-owner showed up. Though, he knew he wanted to beat his little sister (and probably Wendy, since apparently she was musically skilled in harp and viola he thought she had said) to the club. David paused thinking to knock on the open door as he entered when he saw just Leo there, but decided not to and instead walked in as he watched her fidgeting with her feathered headband.

"I didn't get the memo that semi-formal attire was required for the club," David joked as he dropped his bag in the corner. Honestly, Leo was far more dressed down than any of his family dressed-his sister and mother were constantly in what was considered professional or more formal attire-in his sister's case he had only see her not wear a skirt or dress outside of say flying, so few times he could count the times on just his fingers. And, he dressed fairly stiffly most of the time, he figured, but most people weren't like that. Leo didn't dress in dresses as often as he saw her in dresses lately, not that he minded, it looked good on her, it was just a change.

He sat down at the piano bench and began to play a few scales one handed quietly. "Anyways, sorry for arriving so early. If you need any help setting up feel free to ask. I just wanted to be here before Wendy might decide to show up or my sister does. I'm fairly sure Wendy will be here partially no thanks to my sister, but I guess Wendy can play the viola and harp fairly well."

...

"Too much? Not really," David answered. "Then again I'm not the best judge. of what is overly formal or not. I like the outfit, but that's just my personal opinion. I was curious that is all." He didn't say anymore as he continued with one hand and absentminded he continued with scale exercises.

He glanced up missing a note and stopping as Leo sat beside him and he quickly pulled away his hand from the keys. He had to agree Leo was right about the alone time though he was thrown off by her question about getting him to play in front of an audience. "It wouldn't be all that impossible to get that more if you wanted. It isn't like any of my relatives at Hogwarts or Mira are old enough to go to Hogsmeade for an example, though, I doubt I would consider there being alone."

"And there are plenty of places in Hogwarts to avoid people. If you weren't so busy all the time it would be easier to have this sort of time," He added before considering what Leo said about getting him to play in front of an audience and he let out a small groan.

"I never picked up piano to play in front of an audience. Why? Do you want me to play in front of an audience this year? I technically can. I just generally would rather not," He said with a sigh staring at Leo. If Leo told him that she wanted him to play in front of an audience he probably would, considering he spent most of the summer practicing piano, partially due to a lack of anything else to do, but generally his playing was technical and exact, instead of flowing effortlessly like many musicians pulled off, however, it was partially because of his perfectionism that he had practiced as much as he did-and it was stress relieving. He waited for Leo to answer about him playing in front of an audience while he returned to practicing similar scale exercises before.

I could probably manage that request with enough practice, and it isn't like I don't have the time...

"Is it that far of a stretch?" David asked half curious about Leo's mention about the difference of clothes. Then again, he grew up in a family where his father wore a tie almost all the time, even at home and his mother was always dressed in formal attire. And, Cathy... her fashion choices were in many ways like their mother's.

Pausing he listened as Leo apologized about being so busy and he sighed, "Don't worry about it." That was when Leo asked him about hanging out after this and he paused a second before letting out a short laugh, "Do you honestly think I'd turn that down? I did show up early after all to hopefully have caught you between activities," He admitted before glancing at his watch, "Though, I figure it won't be too long before other people show up."

He sat back on the bench listening as Leo explained why she asked him about performing in front of people and raised a brow. "You know technically you've never actually heard me play the piano. I could quite reasonably be terrible. I only started two summers ago and I never actually practiced with anyone..." He said trailing off before glancing away and adding, "Though, I suppose if I didn't you'd end up having to find someone else and that would be one more thing you would be busy with..."

He glanced back at her and asked, "So what songs do I need to learn? I generally stick to classical pieces but that has just been a personal preference when it is just up to me."

David had thought to say something more in regards to the fact she didn't happen to need to make any drastic change to what she wore, yet he was quickly distracted by the rest of the conversation that was more relevant, the actual favor she had asked of him and his response. He let out a short laugh at Leo's logic about how whether he was any good at piano or not since he probably wouldn't have continued with it if he was terrible at it. He shrugged when Leo acknowledged his agreement and she quickly hugged him saying he was the best and letting go fairly quick and piled several sheets of music to him and said he hoped that he wouldn't entirely dislike her song choices.

"I doubt that me being the best is the general consensus about anything," David answered a bit flustered as he looked through the music and the three songs and read them. "Anyways, these are a bit more modern in tastes than I'm used to, but I probably can handle them with some practice..."

He frowned slightly as he placed "Heart by Heart" in front on the piano's music stand, he started slowly with a few of the cords as he read the piece. "Aren't you two cozy," a cold voice said as there was a click of low heels on the stone room as Wendy Chaisty entered the room. He glanced up to see her and his sister following closely behind.

"It isn't anything that would bother you or the rest of the family, technically," David answered. "If I was you I'd be more concerned about attending all of your classes. Or don't attend flying, I don't care. But if you don't, you better start studying for all four varieties of muggle studies that you will be starting your third year, because anything less than an O is unacceptable. I'm going to make you take the general one, regardless, since it would be best considering your father and my grandparents I doubt you got even a basic education in that subject material so the class wouldn't hurt you anyways, but that is less than a total of four."

Wendy narrowed her eyes at him and crossed her arms and made a short tsk. Cathy looked at David and said surprised, "You care about flying classes?"

David raised a brow, "It is a required first year course. Anyways, Cathy, you should take Healing next year since it'll be a practical course for your own personal use, right?"

"Huh?" Cathy said confused.

"Bludgers I assume hurt pretty bad," David answered before returning to looking over the music and he glanced at Leo and asked pointing to the music, "Anyways, Leo, which song should I begin working on first? And when do you want me to have them ready by? I'm horrible at sight reading."

Cathy narrowed her eyes fairly annoyed at first Leo and then David, before puffing her cheeks and finally letting out a long sigh crossing her arms assuming that Leo had just told David. Though, apparently he had taken the news fairly well, but the idea of taking healing was a bit alarming, she didn't have that much interest in the class, and she tended to struggle with the more complicated magic and science wasn't her strength before she went to Hogwarts so she doubted she would do all that great in something like healing. Cathy then glanced to Wendy who raised a brow and shrugged, "What I didn't say anything, but I assume you made the team then? Congratulations, I suppose it is nice to have diverse talents."

Leonette believed otherwise. David was the best in her books and it was definitely one of the main reasons to her why he did things for her. Regardless she was sure he could handle her musical choices, music was music after all. “I’m sure you can too.” She said with a smile. Noticing the song that David placed in front of him Leonette had a feeling she knew which song she’d be singing next.

When she heard a rather cold voice Leonette looked over to see who it was. Surprise, surprise it was none other than Wendy. “Hello, you must be Wendy.” Leonette greeted. Listening to David’s words about the girl skipping she wondered how he found out or course she figured Mira was probably his sort of information.

When he mentioned Cathy playing on the Quidditch team Leonette froze. Course she was given a glare as if she was the one who told him. The fourth year had no idea he found out… unless… “How’d you find out about that…?” she asked trailing off. “You came to the game didn’t you?” she asked knowing she kind of was supposed to tell him when she found out. Luckily she didn’t have to because he figured it out on his own, she kind of figured he would.

“Well… you can start with the one you happen to have in front of you, and as far as timeline goes you can have them ready anytime really. I’m not rushing you.” Leonette answered with a small smile. “Oh, and if you happen to like any music with vocals I’d be happy to learn them for you. Partnerships work both ways.” She added with a smile.

Looking to the door as Shayna and Celaena came in Leonette smiled. “Hey Shayna, Celaena.” She knew Shayna thanks to her cousin and she knew Celaena thanks to Quidditch so she was pretty acquainted with everyone. Leonette had yet to share the news that her and David were dating now but knew that Shayna would ultimately be happy for her. What was with the Gryffindor’s of her family dating Ravenclaws? Her father was surprisingly the same way.

“Don’t worry about it I don’t consider you guys all that early although Victor might think so.” Leonette said clearly not minding. Sadly Victor hadn’t shown up yet if he didn’t she figured she’d be running the show, which wouldn’t be all bad she guessed.

Alice skipped to the music club with Jasper at her side. Her skipping was just enough to keep up with his walking speed. Entering the club she noticed that Victor wasn’t there. It was a bit depressing but that didn’t stop Alice from being happy that she kept her word. She’d told him she and Jasper were going to join this year and sure enough they were there.

Jasper wasn’t as excited to be going to the music club but he wasn’t against the idea of it. He had been taught guitar when he was younger before being thrown into the orphanage. It just so happened to be one of the few things he liked although he stopped playing and hadn’t picked it up since.

Entering the room Alice smiled brightly. “Hello everyone my name’s Alice and this is Jasper.” She introduced them both as she made her way over to them. “Victor suggested we come.” She added still nothing but smiles. Jasper realized that they actually didn’t know anyone by the looks of things. Which may be a scary thing but that didn’t mean that they couldn’t make some friends. “Hi.” Jasper said politely in his usual quiet tone.
