August sighed, seeing Serena starting to pick a fight with another student... apparently Nixus. August knew who Serena was, and did her best to avoid the popular girl. Abelia she didn't know at all. However, August didn't know how strange she seemed, standing like a pretty little wraith in the crowd, holding a violin case and watching an argument start like it was a mildly interesting television show. 

The violin had been brought to school with her since her first year. It was one she'd worked hard to pay for, and a beauty it was. The case was nothing special, simple, black, and very sturdy. It was very soft on the inside, all to protect the violin inside. The violin itself was a lovely specimen, finished to a dark cherry hue, as was the bow. August was very strict on keeping it clean and new-looking. There was even storage inside the case for extra strings. Sometimes she would play at night to help lull homesick first-years to sleep. 

That aside, the clever Ravenclaw couldn't help laughing a little as Abelia called Serena 'V'. Watching others argue was funny to her, seeing as she never really argued with anyone at all. August was so strange and unnerving that most avoided her or simply ignored her. She wasn't disrespected, however, being far too strange and kind for that. She wasn't an outcast, yet wasn't part of the 'average' crowd.
