Notes and Harmonies

The orchestra classroom seemed to be more of a second home to Madyson than Hogwarts was. Sure, one could argue that the classroom was within Hogwarts, thus making the orchestra classroom a home within her second home, but other than her true home in Britain, Madyson had truly felt like she belonged when she was in the orchestra classroom; a feeling that the Hufflepuff Prefect hadn't felt in other parts of the classroom. The orchestra classroom was a place where her wildest dreams really showed. One could tell by the way she knew nearly all the notes to All I Ask Of You, her favorite song from Phantom Of The Opera, by heart that she had the desire to be casted as the role of Christine in the show, which would be something her lower alto vocal range wouldn't allow, one could easily hear any song from Phantom Of The Opera and know that it would take a strong soprano vocal range to play the part of Christine, which was just something Madyson didn't have. Madyson however, accepted the fact and it didn't spurn her musicality for other projects.

Madyson had just finished her last class of the day, potions, which she wasn't too fond of. It wasn't that she was necessarily bad at potions, but more that she didn't want to accidentally add too much of a ingredient and burn her face off or something. So after quickly going to the common room to change into a sweater and sweatpants, her usual norm these days, she headed off to the orchestra classroom. 

Her latest musical thing is creating mashups of songs she felt went together. Unlike most people she went to school with, Madyson had quite the fondness for older pop songs. Not too old however, things from the pre 2020s were what she adored. Her current project was two songs by Ed Sheeran; Photograph and All Of The Stars. Her current problem was the fact that they weren't in the same key, so she had to write most of the score herself. The transition from the first verse of Photograph to the chorus to All Of The Stars was what she was currently having issues with. She liked the way e major sounded, but it would be difficult to incorporate in later into the song. Maybe she could benefit from a break, before she had knew it nearly forty five minutes had gone by.

Athena being raised around music came to love it more then anything, like gymnastics and dancing she loved it and her mother taught her to play the piano when she was three years old, and played it since. There was nothing like playing the paino after a long stressful day, there were so many songs you could play for how you were feeling, and today Athena was feeling cheery. Although lately she been feeling that way because she was with Vaughn and couldn't be happier, even after the episode of what happened in the Gryffindor common room, nothing was breaking her and Vaughn up. Although like painting and dancing, music showed emotions and passion in it, something Athena loved.


Athena finished one of her favorite classes for the day, Charms, one of her best subjects along with DADA and Transfigurations. Vaughn went to write a letter to his parents and promised her he'll be back later and they could do whatever she wanted to do. Athena ran towards the Gryffindor common room changing into a pair of jeans with a Gryffindor shirt with Vaughn Gryffindor hoodie over it. She headed towards the orchestra room anxious to get there and play a new piece.


Athena walked into the room and heard music playing and stopped in her tracks, she honestly didn't know anyone was going to be in here. Athena looked at the older guy and blushed looking at her shyly. "Oh my goodness I didn't know anyone was in here, I'll just leave, sorry for bugging you."said Athena shyly. "Nice piece by the way very unique and beautiful."said Athena honestly.

Madyson was shocked at the fact someone else had stumbled into the orchestra classroom to use it for its intended use. Most of the time it was couples who desired the empty room for whatever it is couples do. Madyson was never one for dating so she didn't really know, or pay attention to, the couples who had entered the room. As it had turned out though, it was Athena who had entered the room; she had a use for it too. Madyson had remembered Athena from their Honeydukes encounter before school had begun, other than that they hadn't seen each other before now too often.

"Oh no Athena, you're fine. Feel free to do whatever you were going to do, or you could join me if you'd like!" Madyson said with the same sweet, polite tone of voice she had when talking to most people. Now, Madyson hadn't known how musical Athena was, she could be the most pitchy, tone deaf person there was but at this point Madyson was glad for a little creative input.

Athena relaxed when she was just Madyson, a girl that she met in Honeyduke's before school started for them. What a day that was, Athena remembered that she gotten so startled that she almost knocked over the chocolate frogs display. She laughed to herself at the memory, it was pretty funny now she thought about it, but at the time it was pretty embarrassing. She couldn't believe how far she came from since then, although she was still, but she was slowly getting out of it little by little. Although she had Vaughn mainly to think for that, she loved spending time with him, she was lucky to have someone as wonderful as him.


Athena heard alot about this room, it was a make out room for couples seeing how no one really came into this room, which was a pity no one valued much anymore. Athena was dating of course, but she would never take Vaughn here, one it wasn't right and two this was a place for beautiful music not a place to make out. Athena thought it was stupid how couples had make out anywhere and everywhere, her and Vaughn been a couple for awhile, but they haven't made out with each other but he knew that Vaughn was taking things slow with her. Athena didn't want to things fast, she seen relationships like that and they didn't last, plus she wasn't that way.


Athena smiled. " Beautiful creative piece you got there, I was playing clarity by Zedd and Counting Stars by one republic the other day."said Athena. " Playing songs that aren't in the same key is tricky, but I managed it. " said Athena.
