Can we lose our minds
And call it love for the last time?
[/font][/center] The day was boring. The dark haired, tattooed slytherin boy say in his room twirling his drum sticks. Cain was still in class so there was no one to really talk to. Axel flipped through his notes of the day studying. He may not look like it but Axel was a pretty good student. He cares about his grades becuse if he gets good grades then he can actually make it somewhere in life. He sighed and threw his notebook on his bed as he stood up and walked over to his drum set in the corner. He sat down and started to play the drum part of a song him and Cain were working on. Axel loved the drums. They were loud just like him and it suited him. After he was done he stood up and quickly changed into a pair of black skinny jeans and a black and yellow sleeveless shirt. His put his black and yellow fitted had on his head and slipped some shoes on and flopped down on his bed. He looked up and saw pictures of him and his family. A lot of them were of him and Cain. They were best friends and Axel didn't know what he would do without him. Most of them were of the visits to their family in New York City. The bright lights twinkled in the background. Axel thought that his life was over when he found out that they were leaving the city and moving to England. He loved the city and always had. It worked for him. But he liked Hogwarts too. There was just something about the castle and England that kind of appealed to him but you could tell by one ook that he was still a city boy. Axel sighed and stood up heading to the common room to see who was down there. When he got there he didn't see anyone so he plopped down on one of the couches and stared at the fire. My darling, never rest until the darker gets the best of all we had.
Can the cold carry on? [/font][/center][/blockquote][/blockquote] |

She had done a bit of studying before discarding it. She got good grades, but she still preferred leaving studying until the last possible moment. After a while, she lounged on her bed, reading a book she had gotten recently. No, that didn't ease her boredom either. With a sigh, she stood up and decided she might as well go see if anyone was around. Viktoriya had no idea where Svetlana had gone off to. Probably off with Deimos somewhere. she thought with an affectionate smirk. Viktoriya pulled off the 'lounging' clothes she had been wearing. It was just sweats and a tank top but she wouldn't be caught dead wearing an outfit like that in public. After a moment, Viktoriya selected her favorite dress and pulled it on.
Viktoriya could hear the muffled sound of drums coming from the direction of the boys dorms as she made her way down into the common area. She always heard it but had yet to find out who the drummer was. She stopped on the stairs for a moment to listen. It soon stopped so after a few moments she stepped through the door that led out from the girls area. Viktoriya spotted a boy on the couch. Well, since she was bored, she figured she would make conversation. She knew his name was Axel or something like that. Viktoriya hadn't really interacted or talked to him before now. She had always been intrigued by him though.

Axel was staring into the fire thinking. Not really of anything in particular just thinking. A lot of things were running around in his head at the moment. But it was all accompanied by music. Different notes and chords for different scenes and emotions. It seemed like his life was music. Everything he did and everywhere he went there was always a song in his head or he was making one up. He blamed Cain for it really. When they were younger Axel had gotten jealous that Cain had gotten a guitar for christmas. The next year Axel had gotten a pair of drums. He had been playing ever since.
His focus was soon pulled from his mind as a melodic voice sounded close to him. He glanced up with his dark eyes and looked upon a girl. He knew her name was Viktoriya and she was Russian. He had seen her and the other Russian, Svetlana together often. It seemed like they were never apart. He looked around for the other girl but found that it was just them two in the common room. He smiled at her and moved his long legs from the couch to give her room to sit down. He admired her dress. It fit very well on her and Axel was not one to pass up a pretty girl. He leaned back and picked up his drum stick and started twirling it again. It was one of his habits and Cain always made fun of him for it but Axel didn't mind.
"Have a seat. Viktoriya, correct? I'm Axel."

Viktoriya smiled as he moved his legs to make room for her. She watched as he twirled his drumstick. Viktoriya was no idiot, and she put two and two together. She had found out the identity of the drummer she often listened to. Viktoriya sat herself down beside her. She gave him a bright smile as he introduced herself. Viktoriya was secretly pleased that Axel knew her name. "Yes, but you can just call me Vikki." she replied with a flirtatious smile. She subtly checked Axel out. In her opinion, he was very attractive. Especially with those tattoos! She had never met anyone that had them before.
Viktoriya indicated the drumstick in his hand. "So are you the one that is playing the drums all the time?" Viktoriya was quite certain it was him but she wanted to be sure. She smiled inwardly as she remembered a conversation she had with Svetlana about the lack of interesting boys. Now here she was, sitting with one of the boys in her own house and year. A boy she happened to find very interesting.

Axel chuckled a bit as she asked him if he was the one playing the drums all the time. Yes, that was him. He couldn't get enough of those drums. They weren't the ones he had gotten when he was younger though on that perfect christmas. Those were locked away in a closet at his grandmothers. His parents had gotten so annoyed with him playing them all the time they had left them at his grandparents where he could play to his hearts content. he was there almost every day playing.
"Yeah, that's me. And the one playing the guitar all the time is my little brother. Music runs in our blood apparently."
He smiled a little as he saw her checking him out. He had never really thought that he was that good looking. Not a lot of girls ever really googled over him but he figured it was because he was different. Not many people in this place had as many tattoos as he had or even the piercings he had. Not many people in England had them now that he came to think about it. Mostly he saw this kind of style in America. He missed it there. He fit in better there but who wanted to fit in anyways? He liked being different. Yeah he got weird looks but he didn't care.
"So whats a pretty girl like you doing stuck in the common room?"

Viktoriya brushed a lock of her hair back and tilted her head slightly as she listened to him speak. She had no siblings herself and if she was perfectly honest, she liked it that way. Viktoriya figured that it was probably fun at times to have someone always there. She smiled as he talked about how music ran in their family. Viktoriya wasn't certain what she had inherited from her own family. They weren't really close like that. She had almost always been off on her own or under the care of a governess. Viktoriya had certainly never learned how to play any instruments although she had wanted to.
"I wish I knew how to play an instrument. It must be so much fun. Did it take you long to learn how to play? You're very talented."
Viktoriya had been admiring one of his tattoos without realizing it. When he asked a question of her, she looked back up at him. She found herself feeling a bit flustered. What was that about? She never felt that way around guys before. "Well, long story short. I'm bored." she said with a slight laugh. "I have no idea where my friends went off to. I was left here, all alone without anyone to talk to. Until now." she said with a flirtatious smile.

Axel smiled as he heard her saw that he was talented. A lot of people told him that he was but he was kind of a perfectionist when it came to his music. He knew that there was always room for improvement and he would strive for it. He continued to twirl his drumstick as he leaned back into the couch. These were his favorite pair of drum sticks. Cain had actually gotten them for him as a congratulations present for getting into Slytherin. They had no idea about the reputation of the house since they had grown up in America. Cain had said it was just a reason to give him the pair of drumsticks.
"Well thanks, darlin. I've been playing instruments since I was six. The drums were first, then guitar, and finally piano. I could teach ya if ya want."
Axel's mouth curled up in a smirk ad he watched Vikki for a minute. She was staring at his tattoos. It was actually one of his favorite tattoos. It was a rose on his elbow. He had gotten it on mother's day for his mom. She had freaked out when she had seen it but him and Cain had just laughed. They loved their mom and Axel had thought that that was the best way to give tribute to the woman who had raised him. He ran a finger over the petals and looked back up at her.
"I got this one for my mom. Ya know, I'm glad you got bored and came down here."

Viktoriya noted that he twirled his drumstick often. She figured that it was a habit born from doing it often. She noted that he was making himself more comfortable and briefly wondered if it was because he was comfortable around her. Or heaven forbid, he wasn't as attracted to her as she was finding herself attracted to him? Surely not. Viktoriya dismissed the wave of insecurity and listened as he told her about his musical endeavors. She smiled as he mentioned possibly teaching her how to play one of the instruments. Truth be told, she was imagining scenarios in her lessons that could lead to her finding a reason to get him to be close to her.
"I wouldn't mind learning any of those instruments. And it would be nice to have you be the one to teach me."
Viktoriya was a bit startled when he pointed out the tattoo she had been gazing at. She hadn't known she was spotted. She didn't waste her time being embarrassed. Besides, it had let into a nice little excuse for her to touch the tattoo. Viktoriya brushed her fingers over the tattoo, tracing the lines with the tip of her finger. "That's so cool. You must love her very much." Viktoriya couldn't imagine doing such a thing for her own mother. They didn't exactly get along too well. She smiled as he mentioned being glad she had come down to the common room. Viktoriya was too, because if she hadn't, she wouldn't have found out the identity of the mystery drummer.
"I'm glad that I did too. I've been wanting to meet the mystery drummer -you- for some time now."

Axel smirked at her as she said that that she wouldn't mind getting to be taught all of those insturments. It made him smile even wider when she said she wanted him to be the teacher. He wouldn't mind either. She was gorgeous and he wasn't one to pass up a very attractive girl. He never did but then again he never really had girls that were attracted to him. They were all intimidated by his tattoos and how loud he was. He was often told that he didn't know what an inside voice was. Which was partly true especially if he was with Cain. They were worse than Peeves sometimes.
"Well which one would you like to learn first? Drum's might be the easiest but they're also the loudest."
He shivered a little as her hands brushed over his tattoo. He watched as her fingers traced the lines and his ehart beat a little faster with each tough. It tickled but he oddly liked it. His eyes flicked up at her and he studied her for a second. Who was this girl? He had never really talked to her before and now here he was finding it so easy to talk to her about anything. He smiled thinking of his mom.
"Yeah, my whole family is close. That tickles."
He smiled at her and touched her fingers with his running them over her hand that was tracing his tattoo. He traced small circles and loops on her hand smiling at her as he sat up a little bit. He felt comfortable around her and it was weird for him to be this comfortable around someone he had just met.
"Feels like this...Well now you know who the mystery drummer is. Disappointed?"

Viktoriya felt pleased when he said he wouldn't mind teaching her how to play the instruments. So, drums would be easiest so she figured that was best to start with. She wasn't arrogant enough to believe that she'd pick up the skill right off the bat. Practice made perfection was a saying that was often said in her household. Viktoriya didn't mind loud noises, and often listened to music that had nice loud beats to it. The loudness got her blood pumping and made her feel alive.
"I would love to start out on drums. I don't mind loudness, in fact I kind of enjoy it."
She smiled as he said his family was close. Must have been nice to actually go home. Viktoriya mouth suddenly went dry when he traced shapes onto her hand. She didn't understand why she was so comfortable and uncomfortable around him at the same time. It was a paradox to be sure. Viktoriya couldn't deny that she was very strongly attracted to this boy. Somewhere in the back of her mind, she acknowledged that she was developing a crush on him.
"Not at all. I'm glad that it turned out to be you." she said quite honestly. |

"Drums it is then! Give me a minute."
Axel smiled a dazzling smile at her as he stood up and bounded off up the stairs to the seventh year boys dormitory. She stood next to his bed looking at the drum set that was there. He couldn't well bring her up here to learn. Girls weren't allowed in here. He had broken the rules a few times but he didn't want to get her in trouble. He stroked his chin and went through his mind about where they could go. The common room was too public and he knew that not everyone appreciated his type of music. He was glad that Vikki liked loud. He grabbed his wand and shrunk his drum set so that it would fit into a small black velvet bag. He slipped it in and walked back down the stairs smiling at her. He walked over and grabbed her hand puling her towards the entrance and out the door.
"Come on. Your first lesson starts now."
He smiled as he held onto her hand leading her up the stairs and towards the Room of Requirement. It was the perfect place to teach her. No one could come in and no one would hear them and it was private enough where they wouldn't be disturbed. He walked up to the wall and a door appeared. He looked back with a smile on his face and and led her through. he let go of her hand and opened the bag pulling out the miniaturized drum set. He set it down on the floor and pointed his wand at it and it started growing until it was the right size. He handed her a pair of drum sticks.
"Ready?"

Viktoriya watched as the boy ran off towards the boys dorms. Was he going to teach her right here? Right now? She waited a bit excitedly. Viktoriya hoped she wouldn't do too bad on her first try. She heard him coming down the stairs and turned to look. He didn't have the drums with him so how was he going to teach her? Next thing she knew, he was leading her out the door.
Where were they going? She decided to just trust him and followed along. After a moment she realized her hand was in his. Viktoriya couldn't help but blush a bit which was very uncharacteristic of her. I have to send Svetlana an owl about this! was all she could think at that moment. She held back the urge to laugh when she saw where they were. The Room of Requirement? It turned into whatever the user needed. She knew that most couples or hook ups used the room to do their dirty deeds.
She watched with interest as he pulled a small drum set out. Oh, of course! He had shrunk it. She often used the same spell to pack all of her clothes. Viktoriya's eyes glittered in excitement as she took the drum sticks from him. She sat behind the drums and looked at him as if to say what now?

Axel smiled at her. He was already having fun with her and they had only been together for about a half an hour. He had to tell Cain about this. He knew that his brother would flip. Axel had never before offered to teach anyone how to play an instrument. So why now? Why this girl? Was he developing a crush on her? He had always admired how pretty she was but he had never thought that he would be here in the Room of Requirement with her teaching her how to play the drums. His drums. He hardly ever let Cain touch his drums now here he was teaching a girl he had only just met.
"Put you foot on that peddle there and hit down. Take the sticks in your hands and do this."
He took her hands into his and pulled up and extra stool so he was sitting behind her. He started to teach her to different stroked and ways you could put them together. He started out with a simple drum piece from a song him and Cain were working on. He inhaled her perfume and couldn't help but smile. She smelled amazing. His heart started beating wildly as they sat there together and he almost lost his train of thought a couple times.

Viktoriya put her foot on the pedal as he had instructed. She liked the feel of the sticks in her hands. She watched as he pulled up a stool, then sat behind her. Vikki bit her lower lip, thankful he couldn't see her face! She couldn't really concentrate with him so close. Viktoriya managed to catch snatches of what he was saying, and engraved it into her memory. She let him guide her as he taught her a song. Viktoriya tentatively beat out the rhythm and laughed when she could hear the notes coming together.
Viktoriya felt like the beats were matching the way her heart was beating. He was so close, she could just turn her head and kiss him. Viktoriya blushed at the thought and concentrated once more on what he was trying to teach her. After a while, she turned a bit so that she could look back at him.
"This is amazing." she said with a bright, happy smile.

Axel laughed a little with her as he saw her excitement as the song came together. He taught her a few more notes and sat back a little watching her just have fun. he was happy that he could teach her a bit about the drums. They would have to come here more often so she could learn some more. Music was his life and he was happy to share it with someone else. Yes, he had Cain to share it with but he was different. He was family. Vikki was someone else that he hadn't known before. He watched her for a minute and smiled as she looked back at him.
"It is isn't it? I'm glad you like it. You look beautiful right now."
Thoughts of kissing her ran through his head but he pushed them aside for a second. he didn't know how she would react ad he didn't know if he wanted anything serious right now. He liked her that was no lie but would he be willing to give up his flirtatious ways to be with her and only her. Maybe they could casually date and just see where it goes from there. But he couldn't keep his eyes off of her and his heart beat faster everytime she smiled. He brushed a piece of hair behind her ear that had fallen into her face and smiled at her.
