I'm so so beyond furious right now.

Guess what I came home to? A f**king flood in my apartment. Apparently one of the pipes in my bathroom came loose and it's been slow dripping for a few DAYS before I got home. There was about five centimeters of water EVERYWHERE. And being a basement level apartment it's going to take me freaking forever to dry the place out again. Oh, and now I have to re-buy some of my furniture too. I hate shopping for stuff like furniture.

This shit has ALSO ruined two of my good amps, my X-box, my sterio and a bunch of my recording stuff. Good f**king thing I have insurance. I need to replace my electronics immediately though and I hear insurance takes forever to clear.

I'm just really glad I left my electric guitar on the kitchen table after I was done re-stringing it over Easter. That thing is custom made and can't really be replaced to me.

God this is depressing. If I was much of a drinker, I think I'd be completely pissed right now.

Remember the festivals in Belgium I mentioned? Well, the Rock Werchter festival in Belgium is a GO. It's July 4th through the 7th.
I couldn't get us into Coachella unfortunately. It's kind of become hipster central the past couple of years anyways so I don't think we're missing out on much.

I just need to finalize who's all coming so I can get us all put on the VIP lists. So if you're able to come let me know.

I'm booking a fully stocked suite at a nearby hotel for all of us too. As for transportation..well, let me know where you are and I might be able to help you out. I'm not really one for Wizarding transport and I can't drive but I'm more than happy to try and make other arrangements.

Since the end of the year is approaching I think we should do something fun. I was thinking that on the last day of classes we could do a flash mob at lunch.
For those of you who don't know what a flash mob is, it's when you do a surprise song and dance routine in the middle of an unexpected place.

I was planning on doing it to Fallout Boy's "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark." I have a great routine planned out to it and I'd be more than happy to play it for those of you who don't know the song.

This will be open to everyone, not just Music Club members. We'll get together a couple of nights a week to learn the routine and then we'll do it at lunchtime on the last day of classes. Just let me know here if you're interested!

The end of the year is coming up pretty fast and I haven't really thought about what I want to do over the summer.

I was thinking about trying to get my band back together, but I really hate to do something like that since I'd just have to leave when school starts back up again in the fall.
Maybe we can get together for some weekend gigs though. If that happens it'll be an open invite to all of you.

...I guess I could always get a job. I've never had a conventional one before so it might be interesting. Maybe I could find one at a record store or a music shop. The employee discount would come in handy.

Maybe I could do some traveling. I'd like to check out Coachella in the United States but I bet it's too late to get tickets. I suppose there's always Groezrock festival and Rock Werchter in Belgium. I went to those last year and they were pretty awesome.

Anyone want to come with if I go?

marshall_lee

Sorry if I've been short or distant to anyone lately. I've just kinda wanted some time to myself and that's pretty hard to do around here.

The good news is that in my self imposed exile, I've come up with a few new songs that I'm kind of excited about. That's something I guess.

I wish there was a way to get Muggle publications sent here. I'd like to get a subscription to Rolling Stone magazine. I always feel so behind on music when I go back home. By the time I feel like I've caught up during holidays it's time to come back here again.

YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS SCHOOL?

WELL NOTHING, ULTIMATELY THIS PLACE IS A FESTERING VOID OF TEEN DRAMA AND BULLSHIT, SO IF I WAS BEING HONEST, I'D ONLY ACTUALLY LIKE THE CURRICULUM, BUT EVEN THEN THE LEVEL OF HOMEWORK PISSES ME OFF.

NO, NO. WHAT I *LOVE* ABOUT THIS SCHOOL, IS THAT IT MANAGES TO MAKE A COMPLETE AND UTTER SHITFEST OUT OF ONE OF THE MORE ENJOYABLE HOLIDAYS OF THE YEAR.
IS IT REALLY SO MUCH TO ASK TO WANT ONE HOLIDAY WHERE SOMETHING DOESN'T GO COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY TITS UP, WITH SNAKE EGGS THAT CAN OOZE LOVE POTION PHEROMONES ON NEARLY EVERYONE IN SCHOOL? BECAUSE I'M REALLY STARTING TO THINK I'M GETTING MY HOPES FAR TO UP FOR THIS CRAP AND ONCE AGAIN THEY COME SPIRALLING DOWN INTO EITHER NAUSEATING DISPLAYS OF AFFECTION TO SOME MATCH UPS THAT ARE TOO HORRIFYING TO EVEN CONTEMPLATE WHEN IS I WAS TO BE COMPLETELY OUT OF MY MIND HIGH.

NOTE TO TEACHERS: THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME.

YOU KNOW WHAT? FUCK THIS PLACE, NEXT HOLIDAY I'M JUST NOT LEAVING MY BED, I'LL JUST SLEEP THE DAY AWAY.

Is Valentines really a big deal around here at all? I mean, are there events for it like a dance or a themed feast or something?

I've heard of Muggle schools doing stuff like fundraisers of sending candy or flower-grams. You can buy candy or a flower and have it sent to the person of your choice either anonymously or you can attach a note. I always thought it would be a cool idea to try for a fundraiser for the Music Club.

If we had a wider variety of instruments and sheet music I thought maybe we could get more members that way.

WELL I'M GETTING THIS OUT OF THE WAY FIRST BECAUSE IT'S THE NOT IMPORTANT PART OF THIS WHOLE ENTRY.

IT'S PROBABLY A GOOD THING NO ONE DIED OR WAS HORRIBLE INJURED OVER THE WINTER BREAK, EVEN THOUGH A FEW OF YOU DESERVED IT DUE TO OVERWHELMING STUPIDITY ON A SCALE THAT NOT EVEN THE DINOSAURS COULD COMPREHEND.

NOW, CAN WE GET TO THE POINT NOW THAT THOSE SENTIMENTS HAVE BEEN POSTED AND OBSERVED? WELL I'M MOVING ON ANYWAY.

BECAUSE IT'S MORE THAN A LITTLE OBVIOUS THAT *EVERYONE* HERE IS A SLAVE TO THEIR MOST PRIMAL AND POWERFUL URGES, AND PROBABLY SCREWING THINGS UP, I AM GOING TO BE OVERWHELMINGLY GENEROUS TO THE SCHOOL AND OFFER MY SERVICES. I AM SOMETHING OF A ROMANCE MASTER, I CARRY SUCH SKILL THAT THAT IF YOU WERE EVER TO SEE ME AT FULL FORCE YOUR EYES WOULD SHOOT OUT OF YOUR HEAD AND YOUR JAW WOULD DISLOCATE IN SHOCK AND AWE OF ME.

SO, IF ANYONE IS HAVING ANY RELATIONSHIP TROUBLES, COME TO ME AND I'LL HELP YOU KEEP YOUR DATE OR EVEN HELP YOU GET AROUND TO ACTUALLY TELLING SOMEONE YOU ACTUALLY LIKE THEM INSTEAD OF JUST MOONING OVER THEM FROM A DISTANCE LIKE THE SADDEST AND UGLIEST PUPPY IN THE STORE THAT WAS NEVER BOUGHT.

HOGWARTS. I have a terribly difficult question for you. One that has plagued the minds of many since the dawn of man. One could say wars have begun over such a complex question.

Which do you prefer! Dogs OR Cats?
Now I know a lot of you will be quick to claim cats, particularly when you may take them to and from school and they may also perch on your shoulder and breathe down your neck as you answer. Do not be biased, friends! Look into your heart.

Do you prefer playfulness, curiosity/fearlessness, chase-proneness, sociability and on some occasions aggressiveness?!??!

Or do you prefer the curious, sweet, playful, grace and entitled nature of the cat?

Personally I find myself preferring dogs! I do not say this simply because Geri and Frecki could very well smother me if I gave the wrong answer, but because they have been my best friends for my entire life!

To Whom This Letter May Concern,

I'm a bit confused here. It was my understanding that I was to be expelled from this institution. Therefore, I am curious as to why I seem to find myself here once again.

Also, even though I have been gone for a couple of months I seem to not recognize anyone here?

I would greatly appreciate it if someone were to be able to shed some light on this subject and please inform me of what I can expect to happen next.

Sincerely,

Marshall Lee Rutherford

[OOC: For the event it will be for Marshall like he had never died. So to him it's still 1833 when he was first expelled from Hogwarts. He'll write more formally and if you speak to him in person his manners and speech will be just as old fashioned.
And yes, that's his real last name. He dropped it years ago and just made his middle name his last one.]

Would I get in trouble if I decided against wearing dress robes? They're just so ridiculous looking and they don't suit me at all. I'm sorry but you just can't rock out when wearing dress robes. I'd rather wear an actual suit and that's saying something. When it comes to mens style of dressing up, Wizard fashion is always really out of date.

Also, I think I'm going to toss my hat in for the Yule Ball King running. Vote for me if you want.

Hey music club! Don't make any plans for the next three weekends, because you're going to be spending all your time prepping for the Yule Ball. I picked out a bunch of records at Dominic Maestro's last Hogsmeade and have our track list sorted, all you guys need to do is practice your butts off and make us look good.

Congrats to the Honey Badgers and on the subject of Quidditch, Odinson and I were talking way back on Guy Fawkes Night and we came up with a few ideas on how to make things more interesting around here when there's a Quidditch match.

Pep rallies!

Pep rallies are an American thing but they're used to boost morale and support the players before a game. There's music and games and all sorts of things. It could be interesting and bring some life to this sorry place.

I spoke to my dad about my family history.

It turns out my great great great uncle had a relationship with a Muggle woman who I think might be your mum. He kept a painting of her and...well, she looks a lot like you, dude.

Greetings!

I have been pondering the topic of music. I know, I know - what else is new? But I was wondering if I could get some opinions.

How do people feel about the concept of music as a manipulative device?

I am aware that to some, it may not be effective. But others are quite sensitive to the effect of various tones, producing various results as well based on each individual's personal experience. But think about it - as practitioners of magic, we are constantly manipulating others, manipulating fate, and the physical appearance of those around us.

In terms of human emotion, is making music the closest a muggle can get to using magic?

I've taken conducting classes back home, at summer programs, and I have to say that holding the baton in my hand, taking that command over a large group of people to create exactly what I wanted, was not so different from holding a wand and casting a spell. There is a certain invigorating power that it inspires, having that control to realize exactly what is in your mind at the moment.

Is it dangerous? Can music, too, be used negatively? I wouldn't want to, mind! But it was a thought - obviously it doesn't have as direct an effect as a dark spell might, but if one were to manipulate another person, through music, for selfish reasons - is that dangerous? Think of the ~~Minnesänger~~ troubadours, think of the serenades used to woo women from high towers, think of the patriotic music used to stir loyalty in troops in times of war. In Ancient Greece, it was believed that a king was stirred to battle simply by hearing a tune played on a flute in the Phrygian mode.

Can music, or any sound, really, be used to enhance our own magic? Maybe even to help us defend ourselves? I would also appreciate opinions from those of you who normally aren't as interested in music. Even if just to ensure that I am not thinking too idealistically through the eyes of a musician myself. Objective reassurance would be nice, if you can give it sincerely.

Yours,
Roderich

fyi detention isnt all its cut out to be.

I'm glad those creepy things that followed some of us around are gone. Did anyone else have one? It got really annoying being called a failure 24/7.

The holidays are coming up pretty quickly. I'm going home for sure. It'll be kind of nice to get back to my recording equipment. I've written out a few new songs and I'd really like to finally get them down.

Oh, and speaking of the holidays we have the Yule Ball to start thinking of as well. The Music Club is going to be playing so we'll have to work on a playlist for that as well. I'm thinking we should do a mix of traditional holiday songs and some normal songs as well?

And more importantly...I'll need a date. Not a just-friends-date either. I'd like to take my date out beforehand. I'll even actually dress up.

[Private to himself.]
I actually have presents to buy this year. Guess I'd better start making a list.

..shit I just realized I'll need actual dress robes too. Ugh.

I'VE BEEN SEVERELY SLACKING IN ASSIGNING HOMEWORK AND FOR THAT I APOLOGIZE, NOT THAT MAY OF YOU HAVE REALLY MINDED. SO!

THIS ASSIGNMENT WILL SPAN ALL YEARS AND ALL HOUSES. I WANT YOU ALL TO TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR OWN FAMILY HISTORY AND TRACK DOWN THE FIRST TRACES OF MAGIC IN YOUR FAMILY. FROM THAT I WANT YOU TO MAKE A FAMILY TREE THAT STRETCHES DOWN FROM THEM TO YOU. I'M AWARE THAT THERE ARE AN AWFUL LOT OF SIBLINGS AND COUSINS AND OTHER RELATIONS HERE AT HOGWARTS SO DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP FROM ONE ANOTHER WHEN FILLING IN GAPS. THE SAME GOES FOR FAMILY NOT AT SCHOOL. WRITE HOME, ASK QUESTIONS, ASK FOR FAMILY HEIRLOOMS OR PAPERS YOU CAN STUDY.

FOR STUDENTS WITH A HEAVY MAGICAL LINEAGE, DON'T FORGET TO INCLUDE NON-MAGICAL RELATIVES AND THOSE WITHOUT A LONG HISTORY OF MAGIC IN THEIR FAMILY, DO A BIT OF SEARCHING. YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE YOU MIGHT FIND A GREAT-UNCLE TWICE REMOVED WHO HAD A HABIT OF TURNING TAX COLLECTORS INTO NEWTS.

ONCE ALL IS SAID AND DONE YOU'LL PRESENT YOUR FINDINGS IN FRONT OF THE CLASS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK HERE OR IN PERSON. MY DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN.

[Added later:]

SINCE I'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF THESE QUESTIONS I FEEL LIKE IT'LL BE EASIER TO JUST LEAVE THE ANSWERS HERE.

1. PRESENTATION TO THE CLASS IS NOT MANDATORY IF YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT. I'M OT GOING TO FORCE ANYONE INTO PUBLIC SPEAKING AND IT WILL NOT EFFECT YOUR GRADE.

2. STUDENTS WHO WERE ADOPTED MAY DO THEIR TREES BASED ON THEIR ADOPTIVE FAMILIES. FAMILY DOESN'T END WITH BLOOD AFTER ALL.

3. MUGGLEBORN STUDENTS SHOULD DO THE ASSIGNMENT AS NORMAL, JUST KEEP A LOOK OUT IN YOUR RESEARCH FOR ANY POSSIBLE MAGICAL RELATIVES.

I have some pretty strange dreams, you can imagine, I'm sure. I've had a couple odd ones lately, and I know there's multiple studies both science and magic related behind dreams and what they mean. Well, I guess one of them was more of a nightmare; I woke up terrified, I don't know why, really -- but, this massive american purple tyrannosaurus rex was trying to talk me into going near the window so he could eat me! All American accented and everything it was weird! I woke up after a while of him trying his best strangely terrified.

And THEN, right? I was sleeping the other night, as you do, casual like, right? And THE SAME CHEEKY T-REX was subbing for Professor Donoghue! This time he was a lot smaller though, and he had a cowboy hat on... He kept getting mad at me because I kept telling people to stay away from him.

I don't see how those could be related to any form of science or magic other than me eating too much candy before bed.
