It's a new gateway to my soul (Kristen?!'

[leondamie]

It was really strange to find any person who could play guitar proceeding down the stairs to the kitchen, with the instrument in thier hands, intending to play. The fact was, Leon was incredibly hungry, even after his dinner, but he wanted to play the metal-stringed instrument. So he decided to bring the guitar to the kitchen, along with a few parchment scrolls and a quill to write his music on.

To Leo, playing the wood intrument that was lingering in his hands, well, playing it was like a gateway to a new world, to his soul. He smiled at the elves that were now looking at him, probably wondering why he had brought a muggle intrument down to the kitchens, when, in case Leon hadn't noticed, this was a kitchen a place for eating. He smiled a bright, yet strained smile towards them, asking for a drink of Diet Coke. "Coming right up!!" They annouced as Leon sat down, beginning to run his hands over the metal strings, causing them to bounce and vibrate, making a noise. A beautiful noise. Leon opened his mouth, and more sounds came out, put together it made asong called gateway[/u]. The elves stared at him, transfixed, as they were unsure how he could play something like that. It sounded a complicated song but, it wasn't. It was the definition of easy for him. He recived his drink and he smiled.
"Thank you," he nodded, as the elves still stared at either him, or the guitar. He laughed, playing the same song again, lost in his own world. He was oblivious to someone walking in behind him.

A smell, a lavander small caught Leon's nose. Damn, that meant a girl was in the room. I mean, a boy wouldn't spray himself in lavender. He coughed and spluttered as the smell tickeled his nose. When he finally overcame the coughs, he looked at the girl next to him. Damn, she was -
"Cute..." colour shot up into his cheeks. He'd said she was cute outloud. Great. Now he wouldn't be able to look her in the eye. But, as she was cute, and looked really fun, he'd have to try.
"I'm, um, Leon," he said to her, holding out his guitarist hands. "Um, sorry about thast ..... and you are ... ?" he awaited her answer, trying not to notice how cute she was.

""I'm Kristin DeLaserna."
"Pretty name," he commmented, trying hard not to sound too chirpy. An awkward silence brushed over them and finally, the g - Kristen, spoke, "That's a nice guitar you have, I've always wanted to learn how to play. However, I can't seem to remember anything about the instrument."
"It's um, pretty hard, I suppose but I didn't know much myself until I forced myself to learn ... Wow, I am so harsh," he joked, grinning at the girl before him. The beautiful girl before him ... He shook his head a little, trying to get her out of his head.
"So, why you down here then?" he enquired.

"It's Chilean, but that doesn't really matter to you does it?"
Leon shook his head, "Nope," he said gently and quietly. "Is that where your accent's from? I really, um, like it."
"It's just for my work,"
Leon gave a half smile, his eyes crinkling and smiling in harmony with his lips. "For Professor Puddifoot? Mmmm." he nodded, trying to think of a question to keep the conversation going.
"What classes are you taking?" he asked, that cute smile stilll upon his lips. "I'm taking Charms, Care of Magical Creatures and D.A.D.A mainly. A few more but, I don't like them much." he nodded. His hands began to slide over the strings, the sound beautiful yet sad. Because that's what it was, a sad song. A soft humming sound followed the tune, it was coming from Leon's mouth. He stared at his guitar, for some reason, not daring to look up at the beautiful girl.

"Yeah, I'm from a country notorious for being in the shape of a chili."
"Cool." he replied softly. All this soft talking was different from his usual loud voie and bustling around. So ... why was he being quiet now? He surely couldn't have developed a crush on this girl, surely not. You see, Leon had one strict rule : Never allow yourself to fall for girls. The reason being, Leo felt no girl would ever like him back and if so, see him as mere fling material. Kristen was ... different. From anyone else.
"So, where are you from?"
Leon chewed on his lip. "I um, don't really know, I was raised by wizard hunter with Rach for a bit." He didn't bother explaining who 'Rach' was, as he assumed she already knew her.
"I have charms, D.A.D.A, and Transfiguration, But, those are my core classes, as well as my favorite ones. Other than charms. Charms isn't exactly my favorite."
Leon smiled once again, his features lifting. "That's ... nice." he said merely but he needn't say much more as his features explained the words for him.

Notes - crap post.

All of a sudden, the pretty girl decided to go. This knocked Leon's confidence down a little. Had he said something wrong? In the wrong way? His brain was stunned into silence as he watched her carefully. She stood up, gave him a little wave, and turned to leave. His brain didn't register she was gone until she was out in the corridor. Dropping his guitar foolishly (as it could have, but luckily didn't, fall into splinters), he ran out to Kristen and caught her by the arm.
"Where are you going?" he asked, staring into her eyes and getting absorbed in them. "You weren't bothering me. If anything you were making me smile." He told her. "I didn't want you to leave."
There was silence as Leon's hand still gripped her arm. "Come on, come and talk to me again." He gave a little tug to pull her back into the kitchen. He plonked her down where she had been sitting then, got his guitar and said, "Any requests?"
