He occasionally looked over at her and smiled. He enjoyed the ease and confidence that seemed to be in their relationship following the conversation at the lake and their play date at the same location. They were getting to understand each other better he felt, and she seemed to better understand his need to express himself emotionally. He'd noticed that she didn't flinch when they held hands as they were right then.



Connor's eyes filled with tears at the beautiful music. Any kind of beautiful music always touched his heart. He gently squeezed Kurumi's hand as the song ended then he gave his baby sister a standing ovation. He took her into his arms and hugged her. "I'm so proud of you." He whispered into her ear.

Hesitant to keep her hand in his, she closed her eyes and counted to ten before she made a decision either way, and she decided to remain the way she was as she listened to Heather.

A smile crept across the Gryffindor's face as Heather played her violin. She had no idea that Heather knew how to play. Perhaps she had been rather shy about her hidden talent. Kurumi knew that she sure was when it came to such things.

"Heather, that was fantastic," Kurumi chirped clapping her hands.

Suddenly, Kurumi felt like all eyes were on her seeing as she hadn't performed anything yet. Her eyes stopped on a grand piano and her cheeks flushed.

Nervously, she went to reached into her bag for the cookies she had brought with her, when some sheet music feel out and onto the floor. Kurumi had, strangely enough, felt like writing some original scores recently.

Her cheeks turned bright red and she wanted to scream at everyone not to look. Too bad one piece had fallen onto Connor's shoe.

"S-S-S-Sorry!" she squeaked. "I-I-It's nothing...just s-s-s-something I wrote the other n-n-n-night..."

She clapped after he performed and watched again as he went to sit down beside Kurumi.



There wasn't denying it. Something was going on between them and Zara felt like she shouldn't be there. She was a first year, for Merlin's sake. Plus, she knew she couldn't possibly try her composition with all the people. No, she would be nervous and probably end up not doing it at all. In her mind, she thought of coming back for another time, hoping that the room would appear next time. Yes, that was what she'd do. Not now, she can't perform now. She was too...hate to admit it but she was too...scared.


Zara listened to the song Heather played with a deep respect for Heather. She really was great and Zara hoped one day, when she gets passed of her fears of performing with an audience, to perform with Heather. Once she was done, Zara clapped and grinned at Heather. She mouthed, "Great job!" as she did a thumbs up with both her hands.



Really, Zara was beginning to have doubts of being there. They were like a family who had bonds ever since they've been in Hogwarts. And who was she? A first year, who haven't even met these people earlier. Hesitantly, she stood up..



Seeing that Kurumi was about to play, Zara didn't know if she was supposed to run for her life now because she might be next to perform, or stay to listen to Kurumi play. It would be disrespectful to just go when her friend would perform for them. She took her seat again.
