This is just a look into Skylar's personality and how she and her friends became just that.

I own nothing except my OCs. The wonderful song used in the story belongs to 'Metric', please do look it up its called Black Sheep.

Please do Review I want to know what you think :D


The leaves had long since turned golden and fallen from the trees leaving them bare and looming. A heavy layer of fresh snow sat atop the ground twinkling in the morning light. Christmas was near and Hogwarts was, despite all its problems, getting into the festive spirit. With all the strange things that had been occuring over the past few months Skylar had spent most of her time hiding within the library walls. She didn't feel as safe as she should have, but she was never going to admit that. Especially to Vincent. If her brother even got a whiff of her fear he would ship her off home before she could say moaning Mrytle.

So once again on this particular day in mid November Skylar found herself lost in her studies, well hidden amongst the dusty book shelves. The teachers were becoming more lenient on the 'only allowed to class and back' rule adding the library and other educational places onto the list, which Skylar was oh so grateful for. There was only so much she was willing to be stuck in the common room for and as far as she was concerned it had all been used up.

Then there was the constant talk of Harry Potter. The second years, ones who were in the same year as him, could only sit around the yellow armchairs gossiping like old grannies all day and night. Oh yes she was thrilled to learn that she was going to the same school as Harry Potter but even her brother, who was himself a second year with Harry, did not constantly babble on and on about the boy. She knew more about Harry's eating habbits than she did her favourite book, and that was saying something.

With a sigh Skylar closes the book she wasn't acctually reading anymore and decides to head towards the music room. What she could do with, she decides, is to let her emotions flow through her music. Skylar always did find it ironic how her father owned one of the many big wizarding music labels and she was so talented music wise, her brother however was not as lucky. Constantly surrounded by musical objects and the many different sounds throughout her childhood had made music her comfort, especially times like now when she was away from home and missing her father so much.

Slipping silently into the room she smiles at the sight of the four pupils already sat in there. Despite the fact none of them had ever spoken personally they were all in the same year and always seemed to be in this room, so by this they had formed a somewhat civil companionship all through their shared love of music. It was what always brought the smile to Skylar's face.

The gramaphone placed in a corner of the classroom played away as the 5 students sat around, minds wandering. The first thing Skylar noticed however was the fact it was one of the many records her father had produced; a band called Metric loved both in the wizarding world and had even broken through into the muggle world. That was the main reason her father was always visiting the muggle world, to produce records in their realm. Her father is the only record producer to manage in both worlds which makes him even more popular and in demand.

Rory Gladstein, a extremely tall Ravenclaw, sat nearest to the music player his feet propped up on the desk with a guitar sat in his lap. Every once in a while he would strum a chord along with the music, his fingers gliding over the strings. In these moments he would bend his blond head over the guitar and close his eyes, hiding the shining grey from the world. Then there was the two Slytherin girls. Audery Jamerson, a fiesty red head who was one of the best drummers Skylar had ever had the priverlage of hearing, and Lucile Bear, her bobbed ebony hair swishes and dances around as she plays her bass reacting to her movements. Although they were in Slytherin Skylar couldn't dislike them, they could be bitchy but at the same time they were compasionate and so far had never given reason for the young girl to hate them. What seemed even stranger to Skylar though was the fact that a Gryffindor, Hugh Blackthorn, did not seem to uphold the rivalry between the two houses that everyone else seemed to, he always smiled at the two girls and he even sat near them. He comes in everyday with his raven hair hinting dark blue in the suns rays, his signiture white streak always gleaming. Many people call him Keys due to the fact his hair matched that of keyboard keys, his preferred instrument.

The Slytherin girls sat to one side of the classroom talking disaprovingly about the latest fight that had happened between Draco and Harry, with Hugh shrugging his shoulders whenever they asked him what he thought about the situation. The room itself was warm which instantly loosend the stress and worry from Skylar's shoulders. Feeling at home instantly she sat down at her usual desk pulling out the ratty notebook in which she wrote her lyrics in. She was so absorbed in her task she missed the song on the Gramophone changing.

A single consistent tap brought her attention back into the room as she realised that it was Audery doing the tapping along with the beat of the new song. Seconds later Rory started strumming on the strings in perfect time with the beat and involuntry Skylar's head started to bop. With a shared smile each teen shot up and sped off to their respective instruments instantly meshing together the music overpowering that coming from the gramaphone. Before Skylar knew what was happening she had flipped the music player off with a swish of her wand and the words of the song slipped out of her mouth

"Hello again, friend of a friend, I knew you when

Our common goal was waiting for the world to end

Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend

You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick the past again

i'll send you my love on a wire Lift you up, everytime, everyone, ooo, pulls away, ooo From you" without her knowing it she had climbed up onto a table and was dancing as the words effortlessly slipped from her mouth. She felt her dark chocolate curls slip from the band that was holding it in a lose bun and fall to rest down just beyond her shoulders then to fly of and around as she continues her dancing.

"Got balls of steel, got an automobile, for a minimum wage

Got real estate, I'm buying it all up in outerspace

Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend

You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick, the past again

I'll send you my love on a wire Lift you up, everytime, everyone, ooo, pulls a way, oo Mechanical bull, the number one

You'll take a ride from anyone, everyone wants a ride, pulls away, oooh from you" As the final chords are strumed and silence settles on the room again Skylar feels a shift, asif by bringing their musical gifts together had changed their friendship status automatically. Blushing profoundly when she realises shes still stood on the table she bends down so she can slip off the table quickly but stumbles in her haste and lands on the floor with a thud as someone starts clapping enthusiastically from behind. A strong hand grabs her upper arm and hauls her to her feet, she smiles her thanks to Rory before turning to their guest, Filius Flitwick stood in the open doorway a huge smile on his face.
"That was wonderous!" he says eagerly "how could I have not known about your band before now?"

"thats because we arn't actually a band sir" Hugh says with a shrug "were just aquaintences"

"Well whats stopping you from becoming a band?" Filius persists "your destined to play together!".

A final piece of the puzzel clicked into place as Skylar realised what that shift was, it did indeed feel like they were meant to play together and by doing so they all realised what they were missing in their lives. Skylar just couldn't condem how empty her life felt up until this point. Sure she has friends in her house but somehow these 4 people seemed to be what shes always wanted; friends who she actually wants to be around, friends who won't constantly babble on about Harry Potter. She looks around meeting the eyes of the other teens, her new friends, as she sees the same shift in each of their eyes. Is it destiny that brought them all to this room all the time? Or more simple luck?

Skylar settles for the fact that she'll never know the truth behind the matter but smiles as she clasps Rory's hand in one of her own and Audery's in the other hand and squeezes. Glancing to her right then her left she sees that the others have done the same which only makes her smile more genuiene.

"Nothing" she says finally "absolutely nothing".


So a Hogwarts school band. This is loosly an idea from Lemonade Mouth, you know the how they played together then poof band+friendship.

Next up Skylar's second year at Hogwarts, shes stuck at school for christmas where she has an interesting encounter...
