Amanda, guitar in hand, had been planning on going to the lake to get a little practice in, when she saw a Slytherin boy, who looked to be quite a bit older than her, who also had a guitar. "Oh, hello. You play guitar?" she asked, gesturing at this instrument. Real clever Amanda! she berated herself, D'you honestly think that if he didn't play guitar he'd be carrying one around? Use your head for once!, then blushed at the seemingly ridiculous question. "How long have you been playing?"

((Hope you don't mind Liz, I want us to do things together as much as possible! hehe!))
Grace had gotten Fern's message about band practice in the midmorning and had waited till luchtime to tell Girty. She wanted to do this so they could go together. After lunch, Grace grabbed Girty's arm as they walked out of the Great Hall and smiled, "to practice?"
They walked to the Room of Requirements together, laughing as good friends do and arrived at their destination. Grace quickly ran past the spot three times and the door appeared. She turned the handle and pushed the door open. "Let's go!" she said, cocking her head towards the open door. As they walked in, two people were already there. "Hey Fern!" she said, coolly and dismissively. Then she spotted a small gryffindor. "Amanda?" she said in surprise, "what you doing here?"

"Hi Grace." replied Amanda. "I needed a place to practice my guitar. I'm not interrupting anything, am I?"

" I guess your not inturrupting. Maybe if your good you could join. We need another guitarist. What do you think Grace?" he said not catching her gaze.

Grace smiled at the small girl and shook her head. "No, not at all!" she said happily, "we were just doing this ... " Grace looked at Girty and at Frenand as he butted in, then continued, "We'd love for you to join us, Amanda!" Grace had noticed the guitar in her hand and thought, well, the more the merrier!

Mort stormed into the room breathing hard. He gasped big gulps of air while speaking, "Why-didn't-anyone-tell-me?!" He stormed across the room and sat behind the drums. He gestured with his drumstick at the Gryffindor girl. "Who's this?"

Grace chuckled. "Well hello to you too!" Grace walked over to Amanda and hugged her around her shoulders with one arm. "This is our newest member, Amanda," she smiled at the small girl and hugged her tightly, "isn't that right?" She giggled and walked to her piano. She tapped a few keys before locking her fingers together and stretching her arms and fingers. She breathed in and began to play different scales in quick succession, smiling happily to herself.

"Why wasn't I informed of this?" he sighed. "How do we know if shes good? Give us it." Mort said staring at the girl. After all he hated Gryffindors. First years at that.

(hehehe no problem Robyn it at least means I'm here hahaha)
Girty stood still frowning at Mort as he complained about the Gryffindor. Feeling a sudden surge of anger she stormed over to where Mort sat with his drums and slapped him around the head.
"For Christ sake Slytherin’s." Your so immature when it comes to things like this. I’m sorry I had to hit you but really….give the girl a blooming chance.”
Girty spun around and moved towards her base guitar.

Amanda smiled at Grace and Girty and turned to glare at the Slytherin. "For your information, I play acoustic and electric guitar, I've been playing since I was four, I'm the lead singer of my band, Immortal Grace, and I've also been playing drums since I was five. I don't have to prove to you how good I am." she paused, "But, I guess I could play a song for you..." she picked up her guitar and launched into her favorite song. Real Wild Child. Her rythm was perfect, her timing was perfect, and she unleashed a voice, that she rarely used. Her singing voice was way cooler than her speaking voice. She knew just when to hold the note and when to cut it off.
"Well I'm just outta school
Like I'm real real cool
Gotta dance like a fool
Got the message that I gotta be
A wild one
Ooh yeah I'm a wild one
Gotta break it loose
Gonna keep 'em movin' wild
Gonna keep a swingin' baby
I'm a real wild child
Well, I'm a real wild one
An' I like a wild fun
In a world gone crazy
Everything seems hazy
I'm a wild one
Ooh yeah I'm a wild one
Gotta break it loose
Gonna keep 'em movin' wild
Gonna keep a swingin' baby
I'm a real wild child
Well I'm just outa school
Like I'm real real cool
Gotta dance like a fool
Got the message that I gotta be
A wild one
Ooh yeah I'm a wild one
Gotta break it loose
Gonna keep 'em movin' wild
Gonna keep a swingin' baby
I'm a real wild child
I'm a wild one
Ooh yeah
I'm a wild one
Oh yeah
I'm a wild one
Oh baby
I'm a wild one
Gotta break it loose
Gonna keep 'em movin' wild
Gonna keep a swingin' baby
I'm a real wild child"

Mort glared at Girty for hitting him. He sulked and waited for the girl to play her song. As she played it Mort understood how good she actually was. Which mad him even more mad. When the song ended he finally spoke up, "It was alright, but my man Fernand here." Mort said gesturing to the guitarist, "Could blow you out of the water any day." and Mort crossed his arms over his chest and smiled.
((OOC: I don't mean to be mean, but i have to play it like i am ;D ))

Amanda smirked, her hazel eyes sparkling with mirth. "Well, you know what they say, 'don't count your chickens before they hatch'. So if I were you, I wouldn't go around claiming things until they've actually been proven."

"I still think Fernand is better, and I don't have chickens. So what do you say to that?" said Mort. "And I KNOW I'm way better on drums!" Mort said retreating to childish ways. He liked playing with the firsties.

Amanda snorted and rolled her eyes. "Whatever." she turned to Grace and Girty, "How long have you guys been playing?"
