When I said talent, I meant the ability to Play a Instrument.  Not get me killed...... Coal had just found out from his agent, that he had lost a band member, for some reason the guy had gone off the deep end and was now in jail for a couple months to a year. So now Coal had to find a few people he liked to replace the sap.
He had picked up a memo somewhere that there was a kid in Slytherin, a Weasly who could play guitar. And Coal being overly enthusiastic went to check it out, his guitar case went along with him. He walked into the store hearing the very common sound that said he had come in. He looked around finding himself distracted by the random items, but he had to find the kid first, talk to him, force him to play and the call his agent.
Coal sighed and without seeing if anyone was around took out his black guitar and his lime green pick and sat on his guitar case like he was playing on the streets for money. He began to strum and snag the first song that came to mind, which happened to be a favorite."You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep'Cause they'd fill the open air and leave teardrops everywhere You'd think me rude But I would just stand and stare".
Coal strummed the chorus skipping over some of the singing, then stopped and found himself singing one of his own songs."When I opened the door, I thought this had to be a dream, seeing you again brought back so many memories, that I had locked a-a-away." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Clothes; OutfitThread; MUSIC Tagged; Chris Song; Fireflies- Owl City[/color] |

Chris was messing about with extendable ears, listening into the shop next door when he heard something over the people talk through his other ear. Someones singing he thoght standing up and looking around. The song was pretty good.. and it sounded familiar. He wasnt sure where he had head it before but he found himself trying to recall the words. Come on chris you know this he thought to himself as he walked to see who was singing.
"I'd like to make myself beleive that planet earth, turns, slowly" he sang as he remembered the words then he pulled himself back together and asked "Can i help you? and theres no busking in the shop" he smirked slightly No busking.. good one he thought to himself as he had kind of called the dude homeless which he probably wasnt but he was deffinetly going to remember the no busking insult.

Coal almost fell over from surprise but just stood up swing his guitar over his shoulder and holding it by its neck like a club. He examined the guy in front of him, having to look up because, of course he was shorter. he has a good voice.... Coal thought well that was a plus.
"You just insulted a scouting singer you know....Coal Kendall." Coal replied extending his free hand, and placing the guitar down and leaning on it. now if he can play, thats what i am hoping for. Coal thought, his agent would be thrilled and fly in just to hear the guy most likely."I am looking for...a new guitarist, my old one got arrested...for...something or other. His agent never told him for what, he had a feeling it wasn't something he wanted to know about. [/blockquote] |

Chris looked Coal up and down A scouting singer.. what is he like.. twelve he thought as he was well.. a small man. "No offence to you sir but i dont care who i insult" he said with a smirk then he shook the guys hand and went "Christopher Weasley" he said woundering what the guy was doing, he wasnt exactly browsing the shop for items.
Then he found out. O so hes heard the rumor i play guitar he thought to himself, well it was true but a lot of people didnt beleive it and he was happy with it just being a rumor "Thanks but no thanks" Chris said heading back behind the counter. He didnt want to be in a band, not yet anyway he still had school to go through plus he wasnt sure if that was going to be the way he wanted his life to go. [/size] |

"Well atleast your honest about it." Caol said smugl tryng not to feel so short,but found that impossible He was dead short and he knew it, reaching five five was a horrible achievement for a guy."Not..ba.d" Coal commented on the name, finding it normal and not out order such as some weird name like...Oatmeal or something.
Coal just shook his head frowing at the kid."I am not giving up that easy, you can sing and I hear your good on guitar." Coal complimented and found himself throwing his guitar strap over his head and picking at it."Your not going to have another chance, I am coming to you on some random day because suddenly i lost a band memeber." Coal replied strumming the guitar, a mixture of some deep rock and melody coming from it.
Then a beat started and he found himself starting up again."When I see your smile, Tears roll down my face I can't replace ,And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one I will never let you fal lI'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all Even if saving you sends me to heaven It's ok, it's ok, it's ok-a-e-a-e-ayyy." He stopped breathing out and looking around hte shop."Do you really want to be here all your life?" Coal couldn't imagine not traveling, it would kill him if he wasn't going somewhere at some point. This guy had potential, and a good chance to show it."Atleast play with me." Coal said strumming a note that would have blasted someone away on a eletric guitar. He shook his head, wondering how the guy could say no so fast. [/blockquote] |

"Im honest about.. almost everything" he said and it was the truth. Sure he kept a few things hidden and told few lies like everyone else did but Chris was pretty upfront about everything, not realy scared of who he inslted or what he said as if anyone had a problem with it well.. it was there problem not his. "Well now that were complimenting names.. why does yours sound well.. made up.. Coal kendall.. its oh so close to Coal Candle" Chris pointed out, it was strange but true.
"Well you heard correctly, i play guitar" he said with a nod still not taking up the offer. "You could just.. bewitch a guitar" he suddgested then added "What band anyway?" he was curious, he did listen to a lot of music but he had never heard of Coal Candle or whatever his name was. Chris listend as Coal sang I could take him up on is offer he thought to himself then waited till the dude was done singing. "Whats the terms and conditions?" he asked curiously adding "Like the when where what why and who?". [/size] |

Coal noted this little bit about him, then laughed at the next line of words, this guy was actually amusing."You'll have to ask my parents...cause I have no idea my middle name is Lucas.". Coal listened to the answer to his already answered question and just stood strumming.
"Whats is music...when no ones playing. I never believe in faking it." Coal said shaking his head disappointed at such a thing. He would never do such a thing. mostly because he played for muggles, sure he was a pureblood, but they were all kind a human. "Band? Well I use to be single artist and went by my name, but now we go by Midwinter Divine, I am actually suppose to be on my Marching on Mars tour..heh." Coal pretended to be winded but then just smiled."Well...conditions are i have to hear how you play, then i drag you to my agent he listens to you and, then my band kidnaps you and sees how much fun you can actually have and aren't as stiff as a board. Don't worry I'll protect you from them" Coal raised his hand in comfort He thought about it and figured he didn't cover the why part."Stupid, the why ought to be easy, to let people enjoy our music." He stood there fighting the urge to put his hands on his hips and shake his head. He re-framed it almost surprised. [/blockquote] |

Chris shook his head slightly. What kind of name is Coal Mucus Candle it was possibly the most easiest name to insult he had come across so far. Don't parents think about that kind of thing he thought than just shook his head slightly. "Fine then i understand that but im sure you could find someone better then me" he admitted, a muggle maybe as they were like 100x better then him.. unless Coal planned on playing for wizards and witches.
"Midwinter Divine" Chris repeated then shook is head "Nope never heard of you lot" he said shaking his head slightly. Chris then listend to 'the conditions' basically i have to play for the world and then im still not in the band yet he thought to himself "And then if im in the band.. then what?" he asked he wanted to finish his school work he didnt want to go gallivanting around the world with a band, not yet anyway.
Chris was going to comment about the 'why' but he didnt bother, he couldnt realy come up with anything. [/size] |

Coal stood there and found himself strumming and listening because whenever he had a guitar in his hand he had to hear it."Your probably right, but while have been standing here listening just to you and how you act. There no doubt you are good, you ave the spirit of a musician." Coal was being serious and deadly mature for him, whenever it came to music he was, the one thing he did not joke around with.
"Well we are mostly a girl popular band after all..." Coal said in a matter a fact tone. Coal looked up smiling."I love how you say If. Anyhow IF you do, you'd be one of my leads, possibly do a song just with me for our new CD. Listen if your worried about being ripped away from family. Don't because our tours our spaced out because I plan them, and when it comes to recording thats where the only magic comes in, because my good o'l agent can make a building into a recording studio." Coal explained it slowly and evenly like he was giving a lecture. He strummed more and found if the guy was good, he defiantly would have to write a song with him, because he wanted to give a this guy a chance to have his own stardom. [/blockquote] |

Chris couldnt find anything to argue with the spirit of a musician comment, it sounded way to much like a compliment for him to even find a negative thing about it to comment at. This guy is going to annoy me he thought to himself then smiled, maybe he would be pretty good in a band.
Its popular with girls he thought well he was already retty good with girls but with a band you got fan girls. This could be like a gold mine waiting to happen he thought to himself liking the idea of being in thsi band more and more. "If i didnt say if, it would be an actuallity, i havent decided yet so it remains an if" he said then listend to coal speak. "Look Coal, im only in my Sixth year at hogwarts okay.." he sid then with a deep breath continued "I dont ming not spending time with my family but i ant to continue to be at hogwarts.." he admitted, if Coal could find a way for Chris to stay at Hogwarts and somehow b in the band wihtout ruining his adverage day then Chris would consider joining 'Midwinter Divine'.

Coal knew he was getting to him, and he loved it! His agent would be so proud of his smooth talk, course he really didn't think he was going to have a tough time finding someone else if he had to. But he really thought this guy deserved a shot.
Coal found his retort very smart, and couldn't find a comeback for it, so he let it slid."Yea, I know that, I did my research, you have good grades. Like I did." Coal said proudly, course he had better grades then even this kid."Ah your a homebody. Well then we'll have to talk to my agent about that I guess, we surely can figure something out, you being a wizard makes it easier. How do you think i got here? I used magic. Now when it comes to practices, that Will be simple, I'll just set my house up as our new band house, which means I wont be renting it anymore." Coal said this clearly again, not quite as seriously though. He looked to the side at a moving head and it blinked at him."And of course you'll have to get parents permission.". [/blockquote] |

Chris waited to see what Coal had to say for himself. Chris was kinda weirded out when he said he did his research. How do you 'do your research' he thought then another question occurred. "How old are you?" he was just curiously because if he was like realy old he could be like a peado.
Chris listend as he went on about his house and setting it u and stop renting it, he wasnt realy interested in all that. "who else is in this band?" he asked curiously as he might know one of them and not like them which narrowed the chance of him even joining the band. Chris paused as parents permission was needed. Crap he thought knowing his mother wouldn't let him but his father might.. [/size] |

Coal wavered then sighed and scratched the back of his head,"Twenty-one..." He wasn't sure why the kid had asked, but he might as well answer sense his age wasn't a big deal.
Coal blinked and began to chuckled at hte next question."To tell you the truth you'll have to find out, I mean theres four others not counting myself and possibly you." Coal thought that was one thing he had to find out one his own. He really didn't want to go through all that.
Coal noticed the wavering as he mentioned parents, he sighed and swung his guitar off from aroudn his neck and handed it over to Chris."This is a peace offering, if you have trouble with them. Its a good model, I have had it for awhile." He smiled meekly and just thought maybe he had a chance, thats when his phone went off. He looked down and took it out with his free hand and answered it. "This is Coal...yea yea...I am talking to him right now. What do i think of him? Well so far I am impressed If you can believe that." There was a pause, and the Coal hung up and looked back at Chris."MY agent just screamed for joy....and its a guy." [/blockquote] |

chris almost laughed when he found out the guys age "Wow.. you look.. well honestly you look like your about twelve" he said with a small shrug, it was true he did he was smaller then Chris and Chris looked older then him. Wow.. he thought woundering how old people would think he was.
"Ok i'll wait and see" he said unsure if he had already agreed to being in the band or not. He wasnt realy sure he wouldn't mind begin in a band if he could still stay at Hogwarts and the band came after his personal life.
Chris took the guitar, he had to admit it was nice, he strummed it listening to the noise it made then nodded. Chris waited untill Coal was done on the phone "Is your manager a muggle?" he asked curiously as well.. only muggles realy used phones, Chris didnt use a phone he sent owls or contacted people by using magic which was a bit to complicated for him to understand. "Ok i'll try out for your little band but if i dont like it i can quit right?" he asked curiously, if he could quit whenever he liked then sure he would. [/size] |

Coal laughed and couldn't help but agree."But the girls thank I am a cute and small...innocent even" Coal said he made a face that made his eyes look huge and like a tiny boy staring at candy.
Coal paused then nodded the smiled."No my manager's a wizard, but would rather be more muggle then not...like me I am a pureblood but rather be a muggle." Coal admitted realzing he probably didn't know about him being so. Coal thought about it and figured he could always have a back up plan."You kidding of course...its not like some life binding contract..." Coal answered watching Chris play with the guitar.
