Strumming into Creativity

What skill would you like to learn? When I think about it, there’s this skill that’s been bouncing around in my head for a while now, and it’s playing the guitar. I mean, who wouldn’t want to strum those strings and make some sweet music? It’s like the ultimate way to channel your creativity. Imagine a lazy summer evening, a bunch of friends gathered around a bonfire, and me, with my trusty…

well, somebody told me that i would be a dreamer for life ( ollie + astrid ) ! ( @melodiesandmemories​ )

There had been, as far as Ollie could figure, myriad benefits to the fact that people seemed to be moving to Hogsmeade in droves though the two he cited often in conversation were the increased business at his apothecary shop and the presence of more and more of his friends from Hogwarts he either hadn’t seen in ages or had difficulty seeing when genuine travel time had to be taken into consideration whenever they wanted to see one another. 

The increase in his business day to day meant that he could take more time to close the shop if he had other projects he wanted to work on or, in this case, when he wanted to have a friend over for tea at the flat above his shop and wanted it to be entire uninterrupted. He heard quiet chirps of delight from his cat as Athena, as far as he could tell, pestered Astrid for attention as the witch entered the flat while Ollie was in the midst of finishing the preparation of their tea. “’Thena, behave yourself, darling. I know you’ve missed Astrid as well but you can let her come in properly before you do this, you know,” Ollie said aloud, glancing over his shoulder to meet the bright blue eyes of his cat who seemed none too pleased with his gentle scolding.

He turned around to face Astrid with two mugs of tea in his hands-- stepping towards the modest little table that seemed to be settled halfway between the kitchen and the sitting room. He smiled broadly, “I don’t think I’ve mucked up your tea too terribly but if I’ve completely forgotten how you take it I have milk and more sugar and things around if you need them.” He stepped gingerly around Athena to wrap Astrid in a proper hug before he pulled away and gestured to the table emphatically, “Sit, As. I think I’ve got some biscuits around here somewhere we can have as a treat.” 

The lanky wizard peered into the nearest cabinet in his kitchen, retrieving the tin of biscuits with a soft noise of triumph before he turned to the kitchen table and slipped into the chair across from his friend-- taking the lid off the tin and moving it into the center of the table with a grin. “We really ought to do this more often, don’t you think? It always seems like I’ve not seen anyone at all in about ten years whenever I manage to catch you or any of my other friends for tea.”

..these are sooo insanely cheesy. HOWEVER, as soon as I saw this, I started laughing at all of the road trips and late nights spent with good friends and the music that always reminds me of those times :) #music #melodiesandmemories

Music as a Lifeline

What would your life be like without music? Life without music? That’s like trying to picture a world without color or emotion. Music has been such a fundamental part of my life that it’s hard to imagine it any other way. From the simplest of tasks like doing chores to the most memorable moments with friends, music has been the invisible thread weaving through my experiences. It’s not just…
