Sixteenth Spell

[Hermione has taken her radio down to the music room. Hard Harry suggested they use it to broadcast music. So she is going to do just that. She taps the radio until she gets a good frequency, then begins to play the piano.

It's a simple piece but she still sounds a bit out of practice. Not much chance for music when you're on the run]

This has been the musical stylings of Hermione Granger. Thank you for listening.

There are all sorts of instruments in the music room. Maybe you can get back into it.

[hard_talker]

Definitely. I had a friend here, I think he left before you showed up, but he had a band... I wonder if anyone else from it is still around.

[courageous_wit]

A band would be exciting, and music has always been a great avenue for expression.

[hard_talker]

Dunno if I'd be good enough to play at Caritas like he did, though. It'd be more like a garage band ... without the garage.

[courageous_wit]

I can't say I've heard very many garage bands.

[hard_talker]

Yeah? Your school didn't have one? ... They're called garage bands 'cuz they're just random little bands friends put together to practice playing ... and they usually practice in their garages 'cuz that's where there's enough room.

[courageous_wit]

Most wizards don't really have garages, as they don't drive cars.

[hard_talker]

[such a smartass] Well, d'they have bands and play instruments?

[courageous_wit]

Oh, we have music. I just don't think anyone at school was that interested.

[hard_talker]

No school bands? Seriously? ... What kind of school did you go to? ...

... And don't say "wizard school" either, smartass. [she can hear him grinning, probably]

[courageous_wit]

I think a large part of the student body was focused on sports. When Quidditch season came around, it was very chaotic.

you knew this was coming

[hard_talker]

.... Quidditch? What's that?

that I did :D

[courageous_wit]

It's a game popular in the wizard world. Actually, there's a book on it in the library if you'd like to read it. The rules are rather complicated.

[hard_talker]

Neat, I'll check it out. ... Think you'd ever wanna get a game goin' here?

[courageous_wit]

Erm... I'm not very good. But my friend James would love it. He was on his House team back at school.

And I read this place changed into Hogwarts once. There might be some people who remember Quidditch who would like to play.

[hard_talker]

There y'go. It might be worth a shot. Keep people from sayin' they're bored all the time. You could even referee!

[courageous_wit]

Not a bad idea. I'll see if anyone's interested.
