Said the little Butterfly

[Grace Raven]

Grace was walking out of the castle, she had finished all her homework and was quite bored, she could not think of better entertainment then to sit by the roses and play her Violin, she knew there she would find peace and maybe play some of her Violin.

When Grace found herself by the roses she smiled, taking in the sweet smell of her second favourite flower, though before she sat down she checked to make sure nothing would get on her nice white dress, It may be silly to wear a white dress outside but to Grace white is such a pure colour, and roses are such pure flowers and Violins are such pure instruments, that is why she decided to wear white, the pureness of the scene made her extra happy.

After some time Grace realised she had fallen asleep, shaking her head softly she opened up her Violin case and carefully removed the Violin within then started playing, nothing in particular she just playing the note from the scene around her, when she played the Violin all her worries disappeared and her eyes truly opened, now she could see that there were butterflies around too, Butterflies were Graces favourite bug, they also helped her mood.

Grace was thinking about a little poem she was told by her Nanny long ago when she was sad about not being about to go to the main land, she had told her that she were her butterfly and she gave her a little white flower though now Grace could not remember what type of flower it was. "Just living is not enough, said the little butterfly, one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower." Grace said softly, smiling Grace set back to playing the Violin, this time it was a more happy song.

 

[Hiria HallButcher]

Hiria was walking near the rose bushes when she heard the unmistakable sounds of a violin. Hiria liked ths, as she used to play the piano. She walked towards the sound, and saw the person playing. It was a girl in a pretty white dress. Hiria waited until she'd finished playing, nd went up to the girl and said "Hello! I liked your playing. What's your name? I'm Hiria HallButcher, I'm a second year.

 

[Vayne Rozeleouxe]

Vayne walked leisurely around the hogwarts ground until he reached the rosebush. Having grown up in the forest, he had always liked plants. Approaching the roses, he had heard a beautiful melody being played in the violin. Careful so as to not distured whoever it is that is playing the violin, he walked to the bush . there, he saw two girls, on introducing herself as Hiria, a second year, and the other wearing a white dress. The girl in the white dress is the one that is playing the violin. Vayne decided that he would just watched so that he won't disturb the two.

-such a nice melody, I wish I can play the violin too- he thought to himself. -hmmm.. I'll just enjoy listening, no talking, I might disturb them- He noted mentally, however, what ever it is that he had planned had not happen as he tripped on a stone while adjusting his bag.

"Ehrrr.... Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you...." He said, grinning sheepishly as he started to stand up for being tripped face down on the ground. -stupid stone- he muttered, annoyed at the innocently looking stone on the ground.

 

[Kate Archer]

Kate was walking around the grounds when she heard a melody being played on the violin "its beautiful" she thought she walked towards the sound and saw a girl in a white dress sitting down talking to another person and on of her friends Vayne she walked over "hi she said my names Kate"she said "Hey Vayne"she added "your really good at the violin I played too back at home but I didn't bring mine here though..How long have you been playing..?" Kate asked

 

[Vayne Rozeleouxe]

Vayne was delighted to see one of his friends.."Oh. hi Kate!" He said, greeting her. When she said that she too can play the violin, he was amazed. "Wow Kate! You play the Violin too? That is awesome!" He said animatedly." I can play some instrument too like the guitar and the piano, but, it seems that I cannot play the violin, every time I do, it makes a unpleasant sound" He added, grinning widely as he remember the time when had tried to play the violin.

 

[Grace Raven]

Grace paused and nodded as a girl came and introduced herself to Grace, her name was Hiria HallButcher, Grace would remember this name for the rest of her life as she always did.“Beautiful name.” Grace commented, nodding again when Hiria informed her that she was in second year. “My name is Grace Raven, I am a first year.” She answered, getting back to playing since the girl seemed to like the music, but once again Grace paused, not from Hiria but from a boy tripping over a stone, smiling
Grace nodded to him as well, letting him know that it was OK to trip on a stone once in a while and that no harm was done. “Are you OK?” She proceeded to ask, that was when another person came into view, almost as if planned, smiling Grace shook her head at her paranoia, she introduced herself as Kate, and named the mysterious boy as Vayne, and these names too would stay with Grace her whole life.

Grace smiled at the complement she received. “Thank you Kate.” She replied. “You have very nice hair dare I say.” She added laughing a little. “I have been playing for...” She paused for a moment. “Around 6 years, I have played since 5 but became good around the age of 9, the reason why I sound so skilled is because of the Violin itself, It is quite old as such it plays far better than any nice Violin, as they say, Violins become better with age.”

Grace rose an eyebrow at Vaynes statement. “Are you sure you are holding the Violin correctly? If you dont then the sound can be horrific indeed.” Grace explained, looking at the boy.

 

[Shiloh Denton]

Shiloh looked around the Rosebush as she wrote the answers to her homework on paper. Grace was slowly becoming insufferable and it was beginning to get too much to handle. She discarded the paper and opened her violin case. Inside was her violin. One which had been in her family for generations, though she wasn’t exactly sure, just how old it was. It was of a decent age for a violin, as only old ones can be played. She looked up as she heard the sound of a familiar violin. She stood up and peeked around the bush to see Grace surrounded by a bunch of others. Her face lit up at the sight of Grace playing and she rushed right over. Only to envelop Grace into a giant bear hug almost crushing her. “Grace! You are becoming insufferable” She told her laughing. She then turned to the other people in the garden.

“My name is Sarah, but please call me Shiloh” She said smiling at them. She then turned back to Grace. “Will you play a duet with me, and we can entertain these new friends you have” She said smiling happily. She hadn’t played for a crowd in a long while.

 

[Kate Archer]

"Ya I play too I've been playing since I was four but had a bad teacher and then last year I got reall y good one and became really I'm going to ask my mom to send my violin it was my grandads"Kate said "thanks"sha added to Grace.Then another girl came over with a violin her name was Shiloh"what an unusual name she thought it wasa nice name too"Kate thought"Hi she said my names Kate"she added

O.O.C meant to say really good

 

[Cierra Vehlendorf]

Cierra was walking around the great lawn by herself. She was really bored so she was searching for some of her new friends. Fortunately, she saw Hiria, one of her fellow ravenclaw, with a bunch of other students form other houses.

Contemplating whether to approach her or not, She watched Hiria and her friends talk about music. Being interested in music herself, she finally came up with a decision, she approached the group.

"Oh, hello Hiria, Hello to you all, may I join you? I heard you talking about music, violin and all, I am quite interested in music matters too. . ." Cierra said politely to the group, crossing her fingers in hope that the group would let her join in their conversation.

"Oh, by the way, my name is Cierra, Cierra Vehlendorf, 1st year ravenclaw."

 

[Vayne Rozeleouxe]

"Maybe I did hold the violin incorrectly back then.... ." Vayne said, pleased with the new information that he had gained. "I am going to try it again next time... probably when I go back home..." He said, smiling at the group.

Then, all of a sudden, a girl came up and enveloped Grace in a great bear hug. The girl introduced herself as Shiloh and invited Grace to play a duet with her.

"Wow, cool... you play the Violin too! I'm so lucky to meet people who love music, much less the violin!" Vayne exclaimed, looking back and forth at his new acquaintances.

"It would be really great if you two would play a duet..I would really love to hear it" He added, really excited to hear a good piece of music.

"And by the way, My name is Vayne Rozeleouxe, just call me Vayne, or Vaan..." He said to Shiloh.

 

[Kate Archer]

Kate was about to tell Shiloh that she played the violin when another girl came up "hi my names Kate"she said smiling at the girl

 

[Shiloh Denton]

Shiloh smiled at all the new people around her. “Hello every-one, it really is good to meet you, I will play no matter what Grace says, but I hope she agrees to play with me. She makes me sound so much better. Her music is so pure and graceful... Like her” Shiloh said smiling.

 

[Lovisa Segerstedt]

Lovisa was visiting the rosebush again after that meeting with Alexandra and Hiria. Thinking quietly, she concluded that everything could've turned out merrily if her evil twin sister haven't turned up. It wasn't much to ponder over but Lovisa hoped that Lena had finally learned a small lesson and begun to change.
Walking down slowly pass the bushes, she noticed a large bunch of people gathered and promptly and said shyly: "Hello, what are you all discussing?"

 

[Shiloh Denton]

Shiloh smiled at the newcomer and extended her hand. "Hey, I'm Shiloh, this is Grace, Vayne, Kate, Cierra and Hiria" She said pointing them all out. She smiled. "And to answer you question, we are talking about music... Do you like music?" She asked smiling and giggling slightly.

 

[Lovisa Segerstedt]

Lovisa nodded once everytime a new person was presented, a brief flash of recognition on her face as she saw Hiria, she smiled. Hopefully now the second year wouldn't be as confused as she had been when they first met. She waved at everyone else pleasantly, and joined the conversation.
"Well I like playing the piano and other things, I love classical music to some extent and hiphop to some extent. What about the rest of you?"

 

[Shiloh Denton]

Shiloh nodded and smiled. "Oh, I am very into classical music... I play the violin and I also play the piano as well, say tell me what is you name?" She asked as she smiled and walked over to her.

 

[Lovisa Segerstedt]

Lovisa smiled brightly as Shiloh mentioned classical music as an interest and nodded. Naturally her next question was: "What kind of music do you play Shiloh? I mean which composers' pieces do you play. I'm mostly into Beethoven, but I still needs to learn 'Moonlight Sonata'."
She took a pause when she was interrupted in her thoughts and replied almost reflexively: "My name's Lovisa, Lovisa Segerstedt, I have an identical twin that is in Slytherin. It's nice to meet you all."

 

[Kate Archer]

"Hi"Kate said "I play classical and from my own culture I play traditional. For classical I play the piano and the violin and for trad I play the tin whilstle and the fiddle"Kate said regretting that she hadn't brought her tin whistle at least she was definaitly going to write a letter home.....

 

[Grace Raven]

Grace wiggled out of Shiloh’s grasp carefully. “Sorry Shiloh but I am not in a duet mood right now, I would much rather socialise.” She said smiling, a number of people joined them and Grace smiled nicely when Shiloh pointed to her and told the new arrival her name. “You play the piano? I was going to learn how to but h=my hands are not suited to such an instrument.” She told the girl showing her hands, they were not big, in fact from playing such a delicate instrument as the Violin they were smallish and looked very fragile. “But I do know alot of music pieces to the piano, I just can’t play them” She said with a laugh. “My fingers cannot reach all the keys they have to.”

Grace gave a curious look to the girl named Kate. “What is the Tin Whistle?”

[Vayne Rozeleouxe]

"So that is a tin whistle, it's my first time seeing it." Vayne said, looking at the picture shown by Kate. "Oh, it seems like we all love music, maybe we all can play together one day." He added, enjoying the conversation that he is having with his friends.

 

[Kate Archer]

"Yes I do love music my parents and my two sisters are also musical"She said "Yes we could make a mini, mini orchestra"Kate said picturing the whole thing in her head.
