Tom pushed open the door to the Starlight rapids practice room, he coughed. It had been months since anyone had been in here and it was dusty as anything. He was holding his guitar 'Pansy' who was yet again in its guitar case. He took out his wand and flicked it, all the dust cleared up. Last time anyone had been in the room was a few days before the twins had been born. He let his hand brush the piano in the room, one thing for sure, they needed to find a new keyboardist or it would be Billie playing piano for some songs. Leo was now on a break, and Tom was wondering if anyone was up to practicing, it had been ages. Tom's band The Drastic Attackers hadn't been active lately and Tom was starting to lose hope. It took him under 10 minutes the tune his Guitar and set everything up. Flicking the switch on his amp and picking his guitar up, Tom started to play a random song that came to his head, it was 'Dead' by My Chemical Romance. He suddenly stopped playing, he was most likely to be dead if Jason turned up, Faith had told his brothers and everyone around the school of his dark secrets from his 3rd,4th and start of his 5th year at Hogwarts. He also wondered if Jason had guessed at why Tom sometimes stayed outside for a few minutes after everyone else had gone inside.

[green]Now a married woman that could finally play the bass, she walked in the room with a weak smile as she saw Tom, she had heard about his past. She wasn't going to confront him feircely about it though. Her past wasn't clean so she'd be a hypocrite to tell him off, the only difference was that she was more popular than Tom. And she'd never had been caught. But that was all behind her now, she had a husband, she had kids, she had friends. That was all she needed. However, she still hadn't told ANYONE that she'd joined the Death Eaters. So far, it was ok, nothing had come up in the hideout and no one had asked her why she hadn't been at Order meetings lately.
She carried her guitar with her, "Hey kid." She said to Tom as she walked in, "You ok?"[/green]

The twins where being so naughty today! Both of them where constantly crying! Jason just hoped that they were not going to act like this when Jason arrived at the Starlight Rapids practice room. Despite the recent revelations about Tom, Jason had agreed to bring the twins to watch their cousin, uncle, father, and mother practice in the band Starlight Rapids. Unfortunately Jason wasn't able to play an instrument properly, so he was just going to watch from the sidelines.
After struggling up the staircases with a double pushchair, Jason finally reached the Starlight Rapids practice rooms. The practice rooms had a sort of musty smell to them, like the smell of the pages of a book. To Jason's dismay the only person in the room was his brother, Tom. Instead of acknowledging his brother, Jason placed the buggy next to one of the wooden chairs, and then took a seat next to the double pushchair.
Jason grabbed his wand, and pointed it at the twins. "Muffliato", he mumbled. The spell Muffliato filled the ears of anyone near the spell caster with an unidentifiable buzzing. Jason didn't like putting spells on the twins, but it was better than their small ear drums being wreaked by the loud guitars and drum kits. Jason then put away his wand, and pulled out a copy of the Hogwarts Gazette, which he hadn't read yet.
On the opposite side of the room Jason spotted Billie, who he hadn't spotted before. Jason's main focus had been on the twins and Tom.
"Oh hey Billie!", greeted Jason.

Just before Billie had entered, Tom had sunk down to the floor against one of the walls. He couldn't take anymore of his personal life flying about, sure he had made mistakes in his 3rd year,4th year and partly 5th year. ''Depends what you mean''he whispered with his head burrowed in his arms. As Jason entered Tom's head snapped up and he glared, ''WHY DID YOU GO WITH THE GAZETTE, I'M MEANT TO BE YOUR BROTHER!!''he screamed the tears that had welled up in his eyes finally spilling down his face. Tom didn't often cry, but he was worked up at the moment, the haunting memories had returned the ones he wanted to forget.

Tom's shouting suddenly startled Jason. It wasn't like his little brother to suddenly shout. It was obvious Tom was seriosly upset. "What?", screamed a shocked Jason. He hadn't told the gossip column anything! Jason knew Tom's secrets, but he hadn't told anything about them - not even his little brother Jake. Even though Tom and Jason didn't get on, Jason still loved his brother.
"I didn't tell the gazette anything! I told nobody!", replied Jason, running over to his brother's side. He crouched down beside Tom, and put his hand on Tom's shoulder. Maybe the gossip column had said somthing about Jason as well. His grip on the Hogwarts newspaper was getting tighter by the moment. Nobody wrote about his family and got away with it!

Tom shook Jason's hand off of his shoulder. Tom was starting to shake and he couldn't stop. It was the rage over powering him. ''Read the gazette then''he spat glaring daggers again at Jason. ''Before Hogwarts, when i was left alone at that muggle school, i was bullied, i was called Pansy boy and all sorts''. He wiped his eyes on the back of his hand, ''When i came to Hogwarts, i was ignored by even you, even Leo, so i began my trouble making to take my mind off everything, but by the time i reached my 3rd year i did a few things i regret''he muttered shutting his eyes tightly. ''I'm still being called Pansy boy even here''.

A expression of horror appeared on Jasons face, as Tom pushed away his older brothers hand. Somtimes Tom could act like a real idiot, but he had never been like this before.
"I have allready heard about the mistakes you made a few years ago, and i don't care about them, you are still my little brother and i still love you as always!", he yelled. "I have never left you out or ignored you. If somone had been mean to you i have always stood up for you," bellowed Jason angrily. He felt quite insulted by what Tom was saying.
"If you tell me who is cursing you, then i will curse them into next year!", growled Jason, clutching his fist. Nobody bulled his little brother and got away with it!
Jason snatched the newspaper, which had been shoved into his pocket & flicked over to the gossip page. The more of the page Jason read, the more he could feel his blood boiling. How dare this pathetic Slytherin write things about Jason's family and friends! Tom wasn't the only person in this weeks edition of the gossip section, Leo, Billie and Kit where all featured in un-true stories.
"I didn't tell Alexis anything! I swear!", uttered Jason.

Joe pushed open the door of the practice room, he heard Tom shout and well he heard everything and had basicly ran the rest of the way to the practice room, it was painful running with a bass hitting your side. Joe was still quite strong, but he had gotten skinnier. ''Tom, dude, you alright, ignore the gazette, its only a piece of crap''he said placing his bass case down and rushing over to Tom and dropping down to be eye level with Tom.

Today was Saturday, which meant that Starlight Rapids where practicing again, and that meant that Chris could do some drumming! He loved being able to plays his drums, but it was much better when other people where around. As a drummer Chris had the important role of keeping the beat. He had been taught how to drum by his best friend Billie Joe, who was talented with many instruments.
With a pair of red drumsticks in his hand, Chris entered the Starlight Rapids practice room. "Sometimes I give myself the creeps, Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me, It all keeps adding up", sung Chris happily. He was in a good mood today, sining along to the Green Day song 'Basket Case'. Of course Chris hadn't yet read the gossip column of the Hogwarts Gazette - he didn't want to either, it always caused so much trouble.
When Chris saw the expressions on everybody's faces, he immediately ceased the singing, and silently took a seat on his drum stool, giving a weak grin to Billie and then the twins, who where sitting in their pushchairs. Two of the band members where missing, Leo and Olli. Chris guessed that Leo was more than likely late, but he highly doubted that Olli would turn up - they didn't need a keyboardist anyway.

[green]Billie listened to Tom, she knew what it was like to completly breakdown.
"Tom, look at me please, you really shouldn't bottle things up. I used to do that and trust me- the outcome wasn't good." She said, a soothing calmness in her voice. Not even Chris knew about her past, about how she was a right wh*re. It was a wonder that nothing had happeed to her before Leo! Then again, at the time he'd have been rather young and certainly wouldn't have been friends with her. She gave Chris a nod.
Walking up to him, she didn't tell him to calm down or anything, in fact, the complete opposite. "Go on, shout at me. As loud as possible. Punch something if you want." She shrugged. She was a bit of a hypocrite, telling Tom not to bottle things up and yet, she hadn't told ANYONE about her newly death eaterness.[/green]
