The piano, the one instrument that Allison knew how to play, in fact she prided herself in it. Sure she could paint pretty pictures, but the piano was were her real talent laid, she could listen to music and automatically know how to play it with out looking at the music sheet.
The piano allowed her to escape, at least for a little while, especially when sleep no longer came. Like tonight for example. She tossed and turned until she finally realized sleep would come. So here she was, sitting in the Room of Requirement, eyes closed as she played the song 'be still' by the Muggle band, The Fray. That band was one of her favorites, next to the infamous Marianas Trench, of course.
Allison didn't even need to look at the keys on the piano to know which ones to press, they just came naturally to her. Allison wasn't much for singing, in fact she wasn't very good at it, however she was alone so she decided, why not?
Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still and know that I am here
Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still, be still, and know
When darkness comes upon you
And covers you with fear and shame
Be still and know that I'm with you
And I will say your name
If terror falls upon your bed
And sleep no longer comes
Remember all the words I said
Be still, be still, and know
And when you go through the valley
And the shadow comes down from the hill
If morning never comes to be
Be still, be still, be still
If you forget the way to go
And lose where you came from
If no one is standing beside you
Be still and know I am
Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still and know I am
Allison finished with a small smile on her face, and a single tear falling down her cheek. Finishing the last of the song with the Piano she stopped and sat there quietly before wiping the tear away from her cheek.
Hearing the floor creak Allison turned around, her previous emotion covered up as she looked at the intruder.
“How much did you hear?” Allison asked with a raised eyebrow, the formal introductions were thrown out the window.
