Tam did enjoy the hand swinging and the walking through the crowd together. The idea of pulling her hand away from Dy hadn't even crossed her mind, instead any time she did put any tension on their joined arms she tightened her hold slightly so they wouldn't lose each other in the throng of people around them. And as for Dynah making a fool of herself? Tam couldn't give her a single example of thinking that had been the case! Dynah's compliment had her blushing a bit, her cheeks quickly turning a shade or two darker than they'd been a moment ago, but a pleased smile settled on her face. "You really think so?" Tam didn't just play the cello because she was good at it - she did it because she was passionate about it, which didn't necessarily even mean she'd ever have what it would take to really go pro. Hearing someone who she thought did compliment her playing meant the world to her. At the confirmation that that's what they should and could do together in the future, her cheeks split into a huge grin. "Okay! We should definitely play around with the idea! Maybe we could find some showcases to audition for and play together just to get a feel for how we are in a professional setting as a team?" She knew how they sounded together when they played for fun - and there was certainly something there! As for the implication of being around each other for a long while, well Tam didn't think much on it only because she already assumed they would be. Weren't the friends you made at Hogwarts the ones you kept for life? Dynah had been her very first friend and perhaps arguably the most important!
At Dy's confession, she gave the girl's hand a squeeze. "If you get more nervous as the time draws closer, you can always come talk to me about it." They could go down to the kitchens and have a cuppa or some ice cream or something and talk until Dynah's nerves were soothed once again. "i'd be happy to help you pick your pieces! Do you have any favorite songs? We could probably compose some of the ones you like into an original medley for performance." It would give them a fun project to work on together too in their spare time.
At the invitation to her gobstone matches too, Tam smiled and nodded her head - agreeing once more. "Okay! I might annoy you with my questions too though about gobstones. Andi is far more into Quidditch so that's the only sport I have a lick of knowledge of." And even then, the knowledge was limited and she generally just stuck to watching her sister and cheering whenever Andi was in possession of... one of the ball things used. Tam certainly didn't think the Hufflepuff was pushing her, in fact she was pleased by the open offer. But she also blushed a little as she swung their hands again, to give herself something else to do instead of focusing on the insecurity in the words she was about to speak. "You know, I'm sorry if I'm not very good at this being a friend thing. I don't really think you think there has to be a REASON to hang out, I just worry about being needy and bothering you." Because she knew she liked to spend all of her time with Dy, but that didn't mean she knew it was reciprocated.
