All of you certainly remember the scene when young Erik meets Schmidt for the first time. Schmidt/Shaw seems to be remarkably fond of Edith Piaf since he listens to her multiple times during "First Class". I can imagine Herr Doktor playing her record while "examining" and studying Erik

so, uh, I have a bunch of other things to do but...HERE'S A START. I really wanted to use Je ne regrette rein, but apparently that was recorded in 1960 so Erik probably doesn't have memories specific to that song. ANYWAY.
"You squares wouldn't know real music if it hit you in the face," Angel scoffed. She narrowed her eyes at the boys, but her smile was fond, and she let it quirk up at the corners when she glanced over at Raven.
"What would you know about music?" Sean asked, just as loftily--maybe more. He was clutching a record to his chest, and trying to hold his chin up defiantly, even though he was pretty sure he was going to lose.
"Angel knows tons about music," Raven said earnestly, encouragingly, eyes wide as she nodded, "She used to work with it all the time.Angel slapped at her arm in mock outrage, with an exaggerated gasp, so Raven pushed her shoulder against her, the gentlest of shoves.

Erik was prowling the mansion halls, less restless than usual but still checking the windows, walking the layout, glancing outside and then having to bite the inside of his cheek. They're so vulnerable here, just Charles and a handful of children, in this huge an unfortified house. The only advantage they have is that Charles should sense any intruders--
And Charles. He's probably off reading somewhere, but Erik very deliberately has not gone by the library. He is not looking for Charles. He is certainly not going to go find Charles, that would be...strange. In any case, he should probably check in on the children, if only to make sure they hadn't broken anything important, and because they were in one of the rooms ahead, anyway.
Moving quietly, Erik went to the door and pushed it open without a touch, then stepped into the room.
He froze.
Dimly, he registered that, yes, the children were in the room. They even appeared to be fine.

Loving this so far. I like the involvement of the children, although of course I am eager for Charles to find out what's happen so that he can get on with the comfort!

It was rather like waking up because of some loud, crashing noise that was nonetheless sourceless. Charles bolted upright in bed--still dressed, but in shirtsleeves--and looked around
