Dakota too thought about what he should wear to the party. "Is there a dress code?" He asked October, and wondered about if there was, indeed a dress code, what would he wear? "Of course I'll teach you Luna!" Dakota exclaimed, and played with his quill, brushing the feather up against his face. He was impressed when October mentioned she could play a few instruments, and pipped in to hear what her answer was.

Evvie was amazed that October could play instruments too, who knew that muggles had such interesting hobbies such as music.
When Professor Mear asked if anyone wanted to try the guitar, Evvie basically jumped out of her seat. However, once the professor put it in her hands, she had no idea on how to hold it. Instead she held it out in front of her and let her tiny fingers pick at the guitar strings.
After a few moments of watching her, the Professor explained how to hold the guitar and how to actually play. He informed the class that the musical notes together made chords and after a few more moments, Evvie was actually able to play about two chords. It was simply magical to her. She handled the guitar back to the Professor and smiled.
She bounced up and down and clapped her hands "Yay, I played the ge-tar!!" She said happily before dancing back to her seat.

October thought for a moment, "no I don't think there is a dress code, I havn't even thought about what I'm going to wear, Luna I could help you pick and you can help me pick too, if you want" she said brightly. It would be fun to have her new friends help pick out an outfit out together, "Andie, would you like to join in too?" she added.
October's face flushed, she didn't want them to think she was some kind of musical genius, which she wasn't "I can play the violin and flute, and the piano a little bit" she said "but I'm not excellent at it" she added modestly. This was true, she was determind to be a good musician but nerves got the better of her when it came to playing in public.
"ohh well done Evvie!" October said happily to her friend after she had played the two chords "Dakota, could you play a song?"

Luna clapped for Evvie when she sat back down. She then smiled at October, "That would be lovely, I haven't the slightest idea on what to wear," Luna stated. When October said what all she could play, Luna was surprised. It was quite a few instruments.
"I understand that Penelope can play the violin too. Maybe the two of you should play together sometime." Luna informed. When October asked if Dakota would play a song, she turned to him, her eyes hopeful.
"Yes Dakota, could you? I'd love to hear you play." She said.

"I guess I could play a song..." He smiled, and stood up while Professor Mear gave him the guitar and Dakota turned off the amp, and sat up at the edge of Leon Mear's desk, and began to play a song called "Breaking the Habit," by a band called Linkin Park. Acoustically. Usually the song had more of a rock edge, but Dakota was known for taking such songs and turning them into ballads. He finished after a couple of minutes, and sat back down besides Luna, his eyes bright and proud.

Luna clapped for Dakota, he played amazingly well. Luna had also noticed how cute and self assure Dakota looked when he was holding the guitar.
"That was amazing Dakota. I had no idea you were so talented." She said happily. She beemed at him, before turning to October. "Don't you agree October? Wasn't Dakota terrific?"

"Thanks Luna!" Dakota gleamed and nodded politely at October. "Well, I'll teach you later, okay Luna?" He added, and pounded his fingers gently on the desk in a drum-like rythem. He smiled up at Professor Mear, and blushed when Luna kept talking about how terrific he sounded. It was only a guitar song, not a big deal.

Andie turned to October when she heard her say something. "Oh, really?" Then she realized that the professor was in the room, and she felt embarrassed. She also noticed that Dakota, the head boy had walked in and started a conversation that October was involved in. This just made her feel stupid, and somewhat like Luna, who was often in her own little world. She heard Dakota play a song on his guitar. She gave a small applause when he finished. He really was quite good, but Andie, strangely, hadn't spoken to him yet. She thought she'd take the opportunity now. "That was lovely, Dakota," she said pleasantly. Andie put a hand to her cheek and realized that it was hot. She must have been pretty red, but it was from feeling stupid. Hmm, I wonder what we'll be learning today, Andie wondered, supporting her head with the hand that had previously been touching her cheek.

"ohh I didn't know Pen played the violin, yes we will" she answered thoughtfully.
October watched as Dakota played a song, she recognised it, but it was different when he played it....it was very good.
She clapped along with Luna and other members of the class, "yes, he was brilliant" she agreed smiling at Dakota.

"Oh, thank you Andie, and October." Dakota smiled at her, and straightened his pencils and quills on his desk again. He really was to much of a perfectionist. He had never really spoken to Andie, he was always buried in his studies, or talking with Luna. But, this year, he wanted to come out of his shell alittle bit. Meet new people, you know? "Oh, Luna, you should try out for quidditch too, I'm going to try out for chaser. Funny, huh?" He exclaimed, and focused partilly on the lesson. Professor Mear was talking about guitars in general, and why muggles used them.

"Oh, no problem, You're very talented." Andie over heard Dakota say something about trying out for chaser. "Really? I think you'd make a great chaser, Dakota. Luna, you too, or...perhaps.....no chaser would be the best postion for you," Andie said firmly. She turned to October. "I can't wait to try out for quidditch! I'm going to try out for seeker. What about you, October? Are you going to try out?"

"I don't think I would make a good chaser, but I might as well give it a shot." He admitted, and wondered if he would have to borrow a broom from someone. After all, he didn't have one of his own. Hopefully the team would have some spares if Dakota ended up making it. "I think maybe Luna and I should try out for beaters, or something like that, actually." Dakota giggled, and thought of the two working together at aiming for apposing teammates heads with the bludger.

October smiled at Andie excitedly "ohh me neither! I'm going to try out for keeper, I bet you'll be an excellent seeker, and you and Luna would make fantastic beaters I'm sure" she said smiling encourgingly. "I'd love to be a beater, but I'm far too weak" October said laughing and pretended to show off her none existent muscles.

"I'm trying out for seeker too Andie!" Evvie jumped into the conversation. "I wonder if it would be cheating to not use my broom?" She asked, thinking about how much easier it would be for her to catch the snitch as a fairy rather than in the current shape she was in. But of course, if she were in fairy form, someone may confuse her for the golden snitch. That thought made her giggle.

Luna thought over the idea of her trying out for quidditch, she's never played the game before and so she wasn't sure she'd be that good at it. Of course, if Evvie who was new to the school was going to try out, why shouldn't she?
She smiled lightly at Andie, then at Dakota, "I don't know. I haven't really had alot of practice. I'm not sure what position I'd be best in. Beater Dakota? Really?" She thought about hitting some Slytherins and almost giggled.
