The Flute Song

[Katerina Montereal]

Dinner hadn't been so contented for Katerina as she took a spoonful of mashed potatoes to her mouth while reading the Hogwarts: A History book that night. She was quite bored and she wanted to do something while eating. She was the only one reading a book in the Ravenclaw Table among the bookworms and because of this quite odd situation, the other Ravenclaw Students were looking at her. But it seems that she really don't mind. After thirty minutes, Katerina finally finished her dish. She then closed the book and checked her watch. It was already quarter to seven. So by nine o'clock she must be already clean and sleeping on her four poster bed. She stood up and set off, heading now to the library.

She was already on the First Floor Corridor when the place, the abandoned classroom rang inside her mind. She always heard about it by some students who wanted to read a book there, practice singing and playing instruments, or just wanted to be alone. But now, it seemed that the topic ceased so quickly because of the ghost they saw. Katerina knew that ghosts in Hogwarts were nice or if they were not nice maybe they were snobby. She never heard that ghosts in Hogwarts hurt students because she knew that the school provide safety. Maybe the presence of the ghost might be very scary that's why students avoided the room. Katerina may be such a daunted person, however she seemed not to mind if the ghost was a spooky one or not. So she decided to go to the Abandoned Classroom to read a book there. She knew that it's weird because there's a library waiting for her, yet the Abandoned Classroom was much more quieter than anywhere else. She go up the staircase, reached the Second Floor Corridor and saw the Abandoned Classroom. Katerina walked towards it and opened the door in ajar.

The room was very dark and loom but the window gave a little light somehow. It was very cold inside compared in the corridors and she could feel that the classroom was dusty because she could feel the dusts on the floor beneath her shoes. And without a split second, she suddenly sneezed. Katerina walked further to search for some chairs to sit on, but while walking, she suddenly bumped to a table. "Ouch!" she said painfully. So she pulled out her wand from her pocket and said, "Lumos!" then a light flickered and glowed at the very tip of her wand. She pointed it on the table. Likewise, the table was also dusty too as she expected. However there was an empty parchment. Katerina suddenly became curious, so she took the parchment and looked at it's back whether if there was something written there. But there was no any writings, instead it was a very scary drawing that usually found in horror movies which made Katerina screamed very loudly. So she ran, going towards the door.​

 

[Lionel Elsworth]

It was a very busy moment for Lionel. He just spent all his time after school, reading a kind of a novel which he bought somewhere in the Obsidian Harbour. He had already took dinner while ago and he's just doing this in the Gryffindor Common Room. He was alone for awhile. The first semester was a little bit exhausting, yet enjoyable for him and this time, for the first week of the second semester, it would be just the same as the previous semester.

It took an hour before he ceased reading and closed the book. He had read thirty-two pages and his eyes were getting tired and he needs a rest. He put his book on the table as he stood up, headed in the boys' dormitory and get his flute from his bag and set off downstairs and through the portrait hole.

It was cold outside the common room and Lionel was on his way downstairs. He didn't know which place he's going. He was searching some place that are quite isolated. Somewhere that no one will hear him playing a flute. It was a complete odd for him. He can see himself that he's confident with his talents, but why in this? He doesn't know why he would prefer to stay in the shadows while playing a flute. He finally reached the second floor corridor and about time, Lionel was thinking about the Abandoned Classroom and he hoped that Serenity wouldn't disturb him neither get a peak while he was playing. But someone was screaming, he stopped walking and starred at the door. Could it be Pulchritudinous Serenity? Or a scared student? He really don't know, so he ran towards the door and opened it. And as he opened it, the figure of the scared student was familiar to him. A head of long curls and skinny, small girl. "Katerina?" he asked.

 

[Katerina Montereal]

Katerina had almost reached the door, but she suddenly ceased on running when the door opened. She had almost screamed, feeling her heart was falling now to her stomach. But it suddenly paused when it suddenly called her name. She recognized the voice, she knew that it was her best friend. "Lionel!" she called out, running towards him and hugged him tightly. She wasn't crying, but she was trembling with fear. She could still picture the drawing inside her mind, it was really extraordinary and supernatural. She knew that somebody might think that she's over acting even Lionel too. But it's not an over act at all, it was really scary and she knew that if someone had seen also the sketch, she knew that they would act just like what she did or maybe they might just tremble instead. Katerina had never been scared like this before, and she had never also hugged a friend so tight because of fear even her fellow girl best friends. She couldn't take her fear anymore and accidentally gripped Lionel's robes with her trembling hand.​

[Lionel Elsworth]

Lionel was surprised when Katerina suddenly hugged him. He almost can't breathe because of how tight she hugged him. His chest was clugged and had almost cracked, closing his eyes with pain. And the most uncomfortable was when Katerina started to took a grip on his robes. He understands Katerina why was she doing this, he can feel that she was trembling. He knew that she was scared, but what she's scared of? He really couldn't breathe anymore so he pushed Katerina gently and asked, "What's happened?" looking around the room and pulled out his wand from his pocket and cast a spell, "Lumos!" then a light glowed at the very tip of his wand. Lionel was still looking at Katerina. "Why are you screaming?"
