Arnaldus Moody
It was a rather late night this past eve, the sixth year Ravenclaw staying up til the wee hours of Halloween with some friends and slipping away to the common room for some late reading. The time he woke from his brief slumber, the boy came to his feet freshly bathed and dressed for the early fall of snow outside, wrapping his house scarf over his school robes before grabbing his guitar and placing the strap over his shoulder, hand placed over the wooden base to keep it still as he left the commons and left for the tower.

He wasn’t sure where everyone else might be, he saw some students here and there and others outside playing in the light snow, some even with balls of snow for a fight. Meanwhile Arnaldus found a nice cozy enough spot within the tower, seating himself on the floor of the room with feet propped a bit with his head leaned against the wall quietly pondering a tune as his guitar sat before him, hands gently in place. He thought about a song of his own to write and try out, but held off for the time started to warm up to another tune,


“People are strange when you’re a stranger,” He began singing a tune to his play on the guitar. Pondering over different things, while singing in warming of his voice and fingers as he plucked away at his guitar strings with loose and relaxed fingers.

Clairabelle had been wandering Hogwarts aimlessly watching people have snowball fights. Something about the snow calmed her. Perhaps it was because it reminded her of her owl.
Many experiences she had growing up had to do with snow. It was something deeply connected to her childhood. Although she did wish that they could wear more than scarves and school uniforms, her mother would die of a heart attack seeing her not wearing something warm and expensive. To be honest she was used to wearing whatever was popular, often even before it was popular but it wasn't something she desperately missed. She was a weird child always but she never become selfish or greedy due to her upbringing.

She wandered to a hall before hearing the sound of music and singing. However noise of a music instrument had brought her to her senses. Somebody was playing a guitar. Now that definitely wasn't something she had heard in a while. Looking around for the source of the sound she had noticed Arnaldus upwards in the tower. Well she didn't really have anything better to do than visit him so she decided to head up to the tower as well.

Walking up the tower he was singing something about strangers. "Are you perhaps writing a song, Mr Moody?"
"Do you mind if I listen in? I didn't know you played Guitar. I play piano myself." She said taking a seat in-front of him.
It had definitely been a long time since she had heard someone play guitar. However she constantly was taught to play guitar by professionals that her parents hired.
She didn't mind of-course. She actually enjoyed it. And she knew they'd stop hiring people if she told them she didn't want to learn anymore.

The Silent Z The Silent Z
 
The sixth year had played a classic from the nineteenth sixties, originally a song from the band called ‘The doors’ It was a era of music that suited Arnaldus’s tastes. Playing his guitar to the tune and singing the words, Arnaldus was minding his own today least so far til time came for class or some socializing with others about the school grounds. Hoping he’d avoid another encounter with the mad woman’s goons, not out of fear or anything such, but because slipping out of trouble again would be testing the odds and sooner then he’d not like. It wouldn’t surprise him if last night drew curiosity or a second encounter signaling more trouble beyond typical goon work of getting on people’s nerves and abusing power or position or such things.

It was sometime into the tune that steps coming up toward the tower entered his senses range. Pondering the odds a bit, before peeking over his shoulder a bit and toward the steps, noticing the familiar frame of a student and one he knew as Clairabelle entered atop the tower and asked after him writing a song even using a formal use of his name. Arnaldus still was getting use to ‘Mr. Moody’ when speaking with fellow students but he was slowly getting used to it and understood where Clairabelle came from. “Actually it was a song from a old band in the 1900 and 60’s era. A muggle band. It’s titled ‘People are Strange’ “ Arnaldus spoke in reply stopping his play to answer and nodded to her next question and request. “ But I have written a few songs... one from his past summer actually. Just needs work though, feels like something is lacking about it. A improper flow perhaps or maybe poor lacking of heart and inspiration, a bit more soul of myself too... maybe.” He added

“But of course, I don’t mind if you don’t.” Arnaldus chuckled, tuning his guitar a bit while looking toward the seated before him girl and listened. “I didn’t know you played as well. I’ve started something of a traveling study and tour outside of school, it helps cover costs you kno-....” He began sharing then paused, realizing it wouldn’t look well revealing he didn’t have a trusty fund or riches like some families. Not that he minded, rather proud he was of how he managed on his own all this time, though under the current circumstances he wondered how wise it would be to share too much. Some purebloods like to pick a part folk in his situation and it would perhaps place a close and easier eye upon his whereabouts outside of school. It might feel akin to being followed and watched, on the run maybe.

Putting it out of his mind and letting his overthinking rest. Arnaldus shook his head slightly in clearing and looked back toward Clairabelle with a soft smile.
“Well, my ventures in the summer rather help cover costs and renew inspirations that feel rather lost at times.” He returned to say and shared further. “The guitar is the first I learned and My favorite still, but I’ve learned a few instruments over the years. Perhaps we should play some time, hey Clairabelle?” Arnaldus suggested with a smile, thinking of a original song of his and wondering about giving it a try. Hogwarts wasn’t exactly a normal location for an audience of his own work in music. Writing, creating and playing sure but usually in practice.

“The song I wrote this past summer, it’s one I’ve been trying to finish with the proper feel of it all. “ Arnaldus began to say adjusting his guitar in his hands and how he held it after tuning it a bit. “ I call it ‘Oh where has the magic gone...’ “ He added, “Perhaps you wouldn’t mind giving a opinion. A untouched ear and open heart might just see this with a fresh perspective and can help me find what’s missing. I think I’m too familiar and over thought to see it myself.”
