The sharp strumming of beautiful chords drifted on the air through the courtyard. Seamus was leaned with his back against a wall, sitting with his guitar held gently in his lap. His calloused fingers plucked over the strings, playing a familiar melody that he hummed along to. All around him several of his friends were either working on assignments or chatting casually.
Dean was the only other of their group that was doing something else, painting on a small canvas as he gazed at the blooming pear tree in the center of the yard. Soft hurried steps sounded nearby and Seamus glanced up to find Parvati walking towards their group. The girl grinned widely as she was greeted by Ginny and Lavender.
She sank down onto the blanket that her friends were sharing and immediately began pulling what seemed to be notes out of her bag, for Lavender looked immensely relieved. Focusing back on the guitar, he shared a smile with the girl as when she glanced his way appearing impressed, "That sounds just lovely Seamus." He nodded with a grin, striking the chords in a quick tune causing her dark eyes to shine with delight.
