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.
Kurumi sat on the ground holding her knees to her chest and was a bit surprised when Connor came and sat down next to her and her cheeks flushed when he took his hand in hers. 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..."
