The lad nodded toward her words with a soft smile, missing her flushed cheeks. He didn't see anything wrong with those words, they seemed normal to him and he occasionally used them to describe his relationship with Logan.
Turning his eyes back toward his mayhaw wand, fiddling with the piece of wood as he listened toward Lucia's voice. Nodding toward her words. The teen kinda wished tyat he still owled Amara Dragamior but wouldn't know how that would turn out, how awkward that would be or if she would leave wirte back. His eyes flickered back toward Lucia at thr mention of Alina's twin. The teen remembered the girl had a twin, another reason why the talked. Both had a twin that didn't go to Hogwarts. A connection that many can't say the same that they have.
The teen remained silent for majority of the conversation, choosing to listen rather than speak. Nodding occasionally and softoy smiling toward the hufflepuff. The teen flund his blue gaze set on Lucia, her raven hair blowing gently around her and her dark blue eyes. A strange mixture that looked appealing. Shaking his mind off of her appearance, unsure why he thought ofbit in the first place. Seemed a little surprised from her question as he struggled with a answer.
"Do neither of your sisters go to Hogwarts?"
Henry asked as he searched for his own answer, his mind thinking about his twin. A ping of pain reached him. The teen took a breath then spoke"I have a older brother and a twin sister," his mind not baring to say another word.

At Henry's question about her sisters, Lucia shrugged. "Briar does. She's in the year below us. Ravenclaw." She smiled fondly. "Such a nerd." Then she suddenly realised how that might sound. "I- I mean, not that Ravenclaws are all nerds. Or that being a nerd is a bad thing! It's not a bad thing! And not all Ravenclaws are! Briar is, that's all I was saying. Not everyone." Had she managed to pull herself out of the hole or dig one deeper? "Um, anyway." Subject change, Lucia! Subject change! "Willow doesn't. She's too young."
Thankfully for Lucia's nerves, Henry carried on fairly normally - or, it looked fairly normal to Lucia, who was completely oblivious to Henry's thoughts. "Oh!" An older brother. Lucia wondered what having a brother would be like. Would he feel out of place in a house only containing girls after Antony had left? Lucia was lucky in that there weren't really any odd ones out in her family, apart from, she supposed, her being in Hufflepuff. But that had calmed down by now, the only remnant of Ebony's previous feelings towards the house being how she tended to downplay the importance of Lucia being in Hufflepuff at social events. She wondered what having an older sibling would be like. Would she get hand-me-downs from them, like her younger sisters did from her? Would they teach her things? "How much older?" After a pause, she also added, "What are their names?"

Listening, Henry nodded toqard Lucia as she spoke about her sisters. A first year, ravenclaw who is a nerd. The teen found is amusing how quicky Lucia reacted to calling her sister a nerd, softlt smiling toward the girl as he nodded. Finding the moment to be the reason of relaxation, of calm.
Henry nodded toward Lucia's words on her other sister. To young for hogwarts. Blair and Willow. Absent mindedly memorizing the two names. Henry nodded toward the girl as he quietly spoke"I'm a nerd and I don't think you said anything wrong," smiling softly before his eyes flickered away at the sound of the two questions.
A part of him didn't want to answer. To remain silent. The teen took a few breaths, eyes flickering around the classroom before landing on Lucia. Raven hair and dark, looming blue eyes. The teen took a breath, looking for a distraction and the words to answer the question.
"Arthur and Annabeth are their names," Henry spoke, feeling himself grew awkward at the mention of his twin as he took soothing breaths. Trying to remain focus, calm, emotionless. The teen then thought of his brother, 8 years between the two boys. It was odd how far of ages they are and yet how close they are to. The teen smiled softly as he spoke"my brother is 19, there's a 8 year age gap between us but were still close," offering a smile before turning back toward his notebook. Fidgeting with the binder as he spoke"Are you close with your siblings?"

Lucia's word-vomiting didn't appear needed, which meant she'd embarrassed herself for nothing. Henry was also a nerd, apparently, so Lucia hadn't needed to worry about whether or not he'd take it as an insult. She visibly slumped back down in her away in relief at the Slytherin boy's words, and smiled. "Oh. Okay."
Having completely missed Henry's reluctance to answer her question, as well as the slightly panicked glances which her fellow second-year was casting around the room, Lucia nodded when he told her what her siblings' names were. "Annabeth's a character in a book too," she told him, referencing the collection of myth-inspired books written by Rick Riordan. She liked those books, especially because usually they had semi-happy endings (or, at least, happy endings at the end of the series). "She has a hat that makes her invisible." Then Lucia realised she was completely ignoring the older brother. "Arthur's a cool name too! Like, King Arthur! Right?" Oh, and now she was ignoring Henry. "And so's Henry! Like, um..." Lucia's mind went blank. "Uh, I don't know. But it's a cool name!" Was she back to word-vomiting again? Oh, apparently she was.
"Oh, yes." Of course Lucia was close to her sisters. Being homeschooled, along with not being allowed to make friends with muggles and being too nervous to talk to customers' children who were her age at her mother's shop, Lucia had essentially grown up with Willow and Briar being her only friends. "We-"
But she was interrupted by the professor, who suddenly called out that it was the end of the lesson, and that homework was to practise the spell they had learned. Lucia had no idea which spell that was, so she'd have to find out from someone later. "Well," she said to Henry with a smile, standing up as the rest of the class began to file out. "It was good talking to you. I'll see you around?"

At the sound of Lucia's two words, Henry felt like he made a error. Ruined something again as usual. The lad thought about taking his previous words back, apologizing perhaps, and just walking away. Leaving before the situation became more awkward. The teen felt his eyes flicker away, fiddling his wand in his hands as a sort of distraction. A distraction for his anxiety and mind.
The lad felt his gaze dropped, carefully studying his mayhaw wand as he listened to Lucia. His heart ached at the thought of his twin sister. A part of him wishing to tell the raven haired girl to shut up. He didn't. All Henry did was sit, remaining silent and slowly nodding. The teen saw flashes of memories, times before hogwarts where his twin and him posed fun that her name was in the book series. Where she was the daughter of Athena. That was a different time. A lighter one, a simpler one.
He nodded toward her next comment, a hate that turned her invisible. Henry felt his wand tremble in his hands before gripping it tightly, wondering if Annabeth ever felt invisible. Alone. Empty.
"Henry and Arthur are both names from the king arthur books," Henry softly replied still looking at his wand. He remembered his mum telling him the orgins behind their names. Arthur was the book series that both parents loved, Annabeth was from a story that their mum heard, and Henry was from her family. The lad never understood that so he just imagined thay he to was named after the kimd arthur characters.
The teen heard her next few words, nodding but missing the fellow second year's hesitation. Her cut off sentence. Not looking at her, Henry took it as a mistake as he watched his mayhaw wamd roll in his hands. Strange how a single piece of wood could provide this much comfort in a single soul.
Times flies when your.... distracted. Henry found the ending of class as a surprise, noticing how he didn't even pratice once. The lad reminded himself to pratice later as he pulled his bag upon his lap, placing his notebook and quill inside along with his wand inside. Closing the bag. Henry pulled it onto his shoulders as he stood, eyes flickering over toward Lucia. Nodding toward her words.
"It was nice talking with you as well, I'll see you around," Henry replied then turned as he filed out of the room with the others. It wasn't that bad but not the best interaction either as he wondered if he'll ever see Lucia again.
