(Corridors) The Heart Never Forgets

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn grinned as he found the most secluded part of the corridors he could and sat down against the wall, pulling his acoustic into his lap. After months of begging his mum through letters, she finally sent it to him and oh how he missed it. He ran his fingers across the smooth varnished varnished surface, which was covered in haphazard patterns of navy and silver courtesy of his sister, before reaching into his pocket and fishing around for plectrum. A true guitarist would never go without one on him, and Bray was surprised they were still there after him being without his baby for so long.

Bray leaned over his guitar more, his long hair falling and shielding most of his face as he played a few cords. It was unsurprising to him that he had to tune his 4th string (D) and his 1st string (E), as they were always troublesome to him. Bradyn would replace them if he wasn't so attached to everything about his guitar. After he finished tuning, his chords turned into one of the songs that he could play off the top of his head, the beginning of a muggle song called Rock You like A Hurricane( by The Scorpians, my friends. ), completely oblivious of what was going on around him.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash had been watching his friend from a secluded corner, and started clapping when Bray was done. "Wow, great job Bray." he said walking up to the other boy, he grinned, "You play better than I do!" he said holding up his own black and red guitar, he shrugged, "But then again, I'm more of a lyricist/singer."

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn smiled down at his guitar, he had missed it so much. 'Damn mother, not letting me bring it to Hogwarts.' He thought, clenching his jaw as he played before Bray forced thoughts of her out of his mind. When he finished, he heard clapping and looked up to see Ash. Obviously, he had heard him playing. He blushed a bit and smiled. "Thanks," Bray said quietly and looked back down at his acoustic.

He remembered hearing Ash singing before and grinned. "And you're a damn good one, too." When he looked back up at Ash, Bray noticed he had his own guitar with him. "Well, you're welcome to join me, I guess." Bradyn said, nodding at the spot next to him.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash grinned, "Thanks." he said taking a seat, pulling his guiatar into his lap, he tuned the strings, and played his new song. Thanks For The Memories, he played the music first to see how Bray liked it, then he would sing the lyrics.


(( haha, sorry but i'm obsessed with FOB))

[Bradyn Reed]

[ Omg, I was just listening to that song for like 3 hours yesterday. ]
[ FOB isn't as good as it used to be, in my opinion ]

Bradyn smiled at Ash and let him pick the song, he listened to it carefully to see if he recognized it. When he heard Ashton singing, it clicked in his head and he remembered it to be Thanks for the Memories. Bray didn't really know the cords, but he had trained his ears to pick them up while listening to a song.

Improvising a bit at the beginning, he fell into step with Ashton's playing, letting him take the melody while he played a lower harmony as best he could remember. He smiled, he didn't think Ashton was half bad and that he was just being modest about his playing. But on the other hand, Bray was rusty after not playing in so long so he couldn't really compare. He hummed along with Ash, not actually singing since he couldn't and didn't want to ruin Ashy's song.

[ <random> I actually have a friend who can listen to a song once and then play it on piano. it's awesome </random> ]

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash grinned as Bray played along with him and began to sing,


I'm gonna make you bend and break,
(It sends you to me without wait)
Say a prayer but let the good times roll!
In case God doesn't show...
(Let the good times roll, let the good times roll)


And I want these words to make things right,
But it's the wrongs that make the words come to life,
"Who does he think he is?"
If that's the worst you got,
Better put your fingers back to the keys!


One night and one more time,
Thanks for the memories,
Even though they weren't so great;
"He tastes like you only sweeter"!
One night, yeah, and one more time,
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories;
"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"!


Been looking forward to the future,
When my eyesight is going bad,
And this crystal ball.
It's always cloudy except for, (Except for)
When you look into the past (look into the past),
One night stand... (one night stand off),


One night and one more time,
Thanks for the memories,
Even though they weren't so great;
"He tastes like you only sweeter"!
One night, yeah, and one more time,
Thanks for the memories, (thanks for the memories);
"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"!


They say I only think in the form of crunching numbers
In hotel rooms collecting page six lovers
Get me out of my mind and get you out of those clothes
I'm a liner away from getting you into the mood, whoa


One night and one more time,
Thanks for the memories,
Even though they weren't so great;
"He tastes like you only sweeter"!
One night, yeah, and one more time,
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories;
"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"!


One night and one more time (One more night, one more time),
Thanks for the memories,
Even though they weren't so great;
"He tastes like you only sweeter"!
One night, yeah, and one more time (One more night, one more time),
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories;
"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"! Ash stopped playing and singing and shrugged, "Not as good as I would've liked, but oh well.

[Felicity Locke]

Felicity had just been walking through the school when she caught the sound of guitars playing. Curious, she decided to find where the sound was coming from. Without realizing it, Felicity had started to hum with the tune. She recognized the song.

Fay's humming had quickly switched to her singing the lyrics. But, she didn't really realize that she wasn't in the safety of her dorm and listening to the music by herself.

She reached the source of the sound, and found Bray and Ash sitting on the floor next to each other singing. A blush instantly crept up her face as she covered her mouth with her hand, stopping her singing. "Er. Hi guys." Fay gave a small wave. "Nice sound you have."

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash looked up and grinned at Fay. "Thanks, glad you like it."

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn had, without realizing, paused in his playing half way through the song to just listen to Ash. His voice was pretty and it made Bray want to join in too, but he knew it wasn't too good (Nicole: bullmerlin! Danny jones has a sexy voice). Instead he just watched him, before his own fingers returned to the frets near the end of the song. After it was over, he looked up and saw another familiar face had found his secluded spot. "What the hell? Can everyone hear us?" He said, but grinned at Fay and patted the other side of him.

"Nice voice, chickie. Decided to sing outside of your dorm for once, it's not like we can't hear you in your dorm, anyway. Come join us." Bray grinned up at Fay, not really asking her as much as demanding. Looking back down at his guitar, he debated what song he should start next since it was obviously his turn.

Cracking his knuckles one-handedly, he leaned back over his guitar and started playing How Far We've Come (Matchbox 20, duh), slowly at first while he tried to remember how it went. Bray quickly fell into step with the rhythm and debated whether he should sing this time too.

[ To Kris because I know Ally has: if you haven't heard Danny sing, you poor deprived child, check out him at www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fZWDhXwNE8 ]

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash grinned, as Bray began playing a new song. It was a song Ash didn't know, so he just sat back, and let Bray have the spotlight. Then he had an idea, "Guys, I just had an idea! Why don't we start a band? Bray can play guitar, I can sing and write the songs, and Lissie can either learn how to play drums or she can be backing vocals. I used to have a band with some of my Muggle friends but it fell apart, it was called Eternity. Who knows, maybe Eternity can make a comeback. What do you guys think?"

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn listened to Ashton talk while he played, his head nodded ocasionally but it was probably more from his focus on his baby than actually agreeing with Ash and occasionally he muttered 'Hmm'. After a while, about halfway through his song, he stopped and looked up suddenly. "A band, aye?"

He looked back down at his guitar, finding a what he was looking for and running his fingers over the grooved letters. "I had a band with my muggle friends for a while, too, we called ourselves The Rage Beat." He smiled rather sadly. "Didn't work out too well when they gave me an electric guitar, and I didn't know you were supposed to use an amp, not sonorus." He grinned and strummed at his guitar absently, letting Fay and Ash work it out for themselves, since he'd be dragged into whatever they decided, anyway.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash grinned and bounced up and down excitedly, "Come on Bray, it'll be fun! Pwease?" he said putting on his best adorable-puppy-dog- face.

[Felicity Locke]

Felicity plopped down next to Bray and shoved his shoulder. "You didn't have to tell me that. Now I won't be able to do it anymore." She stuck her tongue out at him and leaned back against the wall. Fay hummed along with Bradyn as he strummed away on his guitar.

Her gaze flicked to Ash for a moment, and a grin spread across her face. "Drums? Fantastic!" She moved some hair out of her eyes. "My dad taught me how to play drums already Ash. I have a set back at my mom's house." Felicity leaned back against the wall again. "I can do backup too if you want."

"I guess the only problem would be getting my mom to send me over my set." She shrugged. "But I think I can get her to. She's been very eager to help me lately." Speaking of her mom, something sparked in her memory. "Oh! And Bray, I was going to tell you. I sent my mom several letters trying to tell her that we were just friends.[/i] But, apparently to her that means we 'broke up'. Sorry if she's bugged you lately and on your many trips to Hogsmeade." She placed her finger on her nose and stuck out her tongue. "My mom can be eccentric at times."[/font]

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash grinned "Awesome! So it could be Bray on Guiatar, you on Drums, and me doing the Vocals! This is gonna be soo cool!"

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn grunted but there was no way he could turn down the puppy-dog-eyes, especially from Ash. "Huh, I wouldn't take you to be a drummer, they're crazy." He said and put his guitar down next to him. "Alright, if we're going to do this. I think we should come up with a band name together, and not use some old one." He grinned at them and tried to come up with a few ideas. Ash was so enthusiastic about this that Bray almost wanted to scoot away from him, but he ignored that.
