The Afternoon's Hat

[Andi Forstrom]

Andi had decided she rather enjoyed Hogwarts and the secrets hidden within the castle. It was a playground for her curious, adventurous mind in every way and she could not wait to explore her surroundings more as well as understand more of the many wonders about magic. She was born into a magical family, who practiced magic openly but the magic within Hogwarts was so different and more interesting than anything she could have imagined when she first stepped foot on the grounds.

Andi had explored many of the corridors in the school with her friend Aodhan. However one thing she was yet to explore was the courtyard. She made it her mission to do so that afternoon. As soon as class was dismissed, she ran to where she knew the courtyard would be and walked around when she arrived, her eyes taking in every detail of her surroundings. Eventually Andi walked to the area on the outskirts of the courtyard and halted her steps outside something named 'the conglomerated arts room'. The name in itself was curious enough so without an ounce of hesitation, Andi opened the door and walked inside, wondering what the room was like and what kinds of magic were contained within it.​

 

[Alex Sheffield]

Lost as always, Alex walked around the Hogwarts grounds aimlessly. Once he got to one site, he'd be amazed by the other, and so on and so forth. He must have been walking for an hour when he found the label 'Conglomerated Arts'
"Kongoblurted arts?"

He's never seen the word. He was muggleborn and he had no clue what this was about. Oh well! They can't punish him for being curious.

He took a step inside, proud of his brave expidition into the unknown...
Before tripping and falling like an idiot. He quickly stood up, dusted himself off and took the proud stance again. Then he saw Andi.

"Good day, lass!"
Now this is embarassing. Oh well. He aimed on turning that into a joke.

Andi observed the room around her, noting the musical instruments dotted against the walls and a grand piano in one corner, among other things. The room seemed to be focused around music, which she should have assumed considering its name mentioned the arts. A low whistle escaped her lips as she approached the piano, gracing her fingers over the keys but not heavily enough to cause a sound. She was not a musical person by nature or by interest but she could not deny that the sight of a grand piano was intimidating, to say the least. Let alone the thought of playing one or standing near one in awe the way she was in that moment.

Andi continued to wander around the room in astonishment, soon interrupted by the loud and intrusive sound of someone falling over. She turned from where she was standing to the source of the noise, sighing quietly in relief when she realized it was only Alex Sheffield. A boy in her year who she had met during the house meeting. He was relatively harmless as far as she knew, hardly anything to worry about and certainly not someone who would rat her out to a professor for being in the room alone, if such a thing were against the rules. "Hi Alex." She said, stepping towards the boy and ignoring the fact he had fallen over. "You exploring the castle, too?"​

He quickly stood up on his feet, dusting himself off as he saw Andi approach him. He chuckled once again, before speaking in a confused tone.

"Yeah, I uh-.. You know this place is pretty huge, no idea how I didn't come across this room already."
He stopped to look around and notice everything musical in this room. Now this is a place Alex might spend some time in. He instantly though of his guitar, and how he and the guitar might belong here once.

"Found anything interesting?-... Andi, right?" He's met so many people and having to guess someones name made him feel terrible. He wants to know everyone, but he simply can't..
