He already felt horrible for causing that remorseful look; the last thing he wanted to do was make her feel worse by leaving!
"I know you didn't," he said, nervously running a hand through his dark hair. "It's not your fault. I just... can't sing in front of people." He'd always had terrible stage fright! The only way he was even able to perform with his band was by hiding behind the other guys in a dark area of the stage.
He managed a smile as she told him she played the flute and some piano, but his eyes widened in surprise at her next words. A compliment was the last thing he was expecting! "Th-Thank you," he stammered, still not quite believing what he'd heard. "Would you like to play some music together?"
It was Daisy's turn to be nervous. She nodded slowly as she began to fidget with her flute.
"Erm...sure. Do you want me to sit down somewhere?" asked the young Hufflepuff.
