“This is Lumos and I’m your host-slash-DJ, Aidan Higgs” he greets with his usual chirpy tone when opening, “For those of you that are listening in for the first time this is Hogwarts’ radio show full of great music, and only great music. And today it’s a special day. Someone else is here with me to co-host and it’s no other than..” There is the sound of hands rhythmically hitting a surface, much like a drum roll. “.. the one and only, Terra Zeller.” His voice sounds sincerely enthusiastic as he presents them.
“Hello everyone, it's very good to be here, thanks for having me,” they say in their husky Cambridgeshire accent.
“It's a pleasure,” Aidan replies, with sincerity and one can almost hear a smile in the way his voice sounds. “And the sight has improved since my last co-host. No offence, Fred.” There is a low rustling sound of papers moved around. “Speaking of our second-older Weasley. Terra is here, much like Fred was, to talk about a project close to their heart. Some of you may have already read about it in the Hogwarts Gazette.. but I'll let Terra explain what is about and why it's so important for them and many other students here at Hogwarts.”
“Well, as I’m sure some of you know Teddy and I have been asking for signatures on a piece of paper, those signatures are for a petition to the headmaster to create a third dormitory in each house, one for students who do not identify as either male or female, such as myself.” Terra pauses for a moment and says something inaudible to Aidan. “We need at least half of the student body to sign it before we present it to the headmaster, and we’re going for the final push, we’re nearly there. We believe that a third dorm would help younger students figure out their identity, and we need to show support to the people who are too worried about what their peers think to come out, and while the change won’t affect us, we hope it can help the generations of students behind us.”
There is a brief pause for Terra's words to sink in. “Heard that people? Join Terra, Teddy and all the others who already signed the petition. This is a way to both help our fellow students and to leave our mark in Hogwarts history.” His voice is steady, enthusiastic. “Where do people can come to sign the petition? Is there more they can do?” He asks them, leaving once more to them to talk and explain.
“Come find me or Teddy, and, I think there are sheets up in all the dorms, we’re both easy to find, or if you can’t find us, send us an owl, or speak to your head of house, I’m sure they will help you to find us. Same goes if you would like more information or even advice. We’re here to help!” They say, their voice full of the passion they feel towards the project. “And if you want to do more to help, we’re open to ideas to get the third dorms in, and help any students who need help, even if it’s an ear to listen or advice, you can come speak to us, I promise we don’t bite”.
“Unless someone shows up as a doughnut, I would guess,” Aidan jokes. “So, listeners, you heard them, and I hope you'll help spread the word through the school. I thank Terra for being with me, today, and I'll leave to them to announce our next song.”
Terra chuckles, “Thank you Aidan for having me, we have a fairly old muggle song by the name of ‘Little Game’ by Benny up next, so enjoy!” They say happily.
