No Worries
Henry nodded at his friends comment about Pygmy Puffs and silently thought to himself, since he knew that creatures were quite pricey but also rather popular so the twelve year old may have been imagining ways to either buy his friend one or give her part of the money but didn't show this in his face as it remained emotionless as he spoke" makes sense, hopefully you can get one through."
Henry was ready to start and couldn't wait but the twelve year old knew how to hide these feelings so he did as he simply smiled and nodded to his friend not showing any other emotion in his face as normal even when he laughed a bit and he joked" sure I'll be waiting for this amazing nickname come next year," laughing a bit before controlling his breathing and getting ready to sing. The boy was forced to take voice lessons from his father after all...
Henry nodded toward his friend with a smile as he controlled his breathing and sat a with a bit better posture from habit mainly, getting ready to sing but not that loud. His voice was a high treble which was good, at least good enough for him to be on the frog choir but also at least in the boy's mind not many males had voices that were that high so times he found himself panicking about his voice.
As his eyes lingered around the grounds to his delight not many others were there which was both peculiar but also amazing since Henry still had anxiety and was a but self conscious about his voice so the lack of people only reassured the boy.
When Henry heard the chords on the guitar, he would turned to Gia and smile as he heard how perfectly smooth her voice went with the guitar. Accidently Henry decided to let her sing the first line or two before joining in with her, not to loud so he didn't over shadow her.

────────────────────────── ♫ ──────────────────────────Gia thought for a few moments, wondering when her dad would agree to get her a pet. He hadn't given into her and Vance's seemingly endless pleading way back years ago when they were younger though, so it might take some time. Still, it felt like everyone at Hogwarts had a pet already! Gia had seen countless others sending letters with or talking about their owls, petting their cats, and even playing with pet rats! Maybe if she begged him for it be a birthday present. . . shaking her head, the first year turned back to their conversation, a tiny portion of her mind still thinking about getting a pet.
When Henry joked about waiting for a nickname to come next year, Gia grinned back. "Hmm, well, it probably won't take that long!" she said, laughing. "Maybe in a couple weeks or so I'll have a nickname for you." Good nicknames weren't just made up on the spot, she thought to herself. If someone decided to call someone Blue because that was the person's favorite color, that was an okay nickname, but it could easily become something much better. If they were nicknamed Blue because that was their favorite color and because whoever was calling them that met them at a beach or something like that, it was a little better. Still not the best, but you know, it was better.
After a little more chatter, the two of them began singing. Or, well, they were supposed to start singing. Gia did. It seemed Henry had decided to let her sing the first part herself, however, only accompanied by her guitar. The notes she was singing faltered for a split second when she realized that she was singing alone, but then they became strong again as she continued. When the part that was singing finished, she looked over at the Slytherin questioningly. Were they going to say the words together? Or. . . what?
Shrugging slightly to herself, Gia simply decided to keep going with the song. When she said the next line she had to grin a little bit, because it was just funny. To anyone who'd actually seen Hamilton, that is. It probably wouldn't be that interesting to people who were just listening to the music, but if you knew the story it was much more funny than before. Clearing those thoughts from her head - it was weird, sometimes when you were thinking about things you would say them out loud instead of saying whatever you had been planning to say, and she didn't want that to happen - the first year finished off the second section.
♫ "President Jefferson
I'll give him this, his financial system is a work of genius
I couldn't undo it if I tried
And I've tried
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?" ♫
Honestly, she wouldn't mind if they didn't talk at all for the rest of the time. Singing with Henry made her smile - it always had. Now though, since it was the first time they'd sung together since, like, a year ago, it felt even more. . . meaningful, in a way. The corners of Gia's mouth quirked upwards in a small smile when she glanced at the second year as the two of them and her guitar started to sing the chorus.

"I'll look forward to it," Henry replied back to the girl on the topic of nicknames. This feeling or moment in time felt peaceful, it felt like time stopped for a moment and everything was perfect. He was hanging out with Gia Adelard singing songs from muggle shows like they two or so years ago. Remembering past memories and creating new ones. Loki laid between them, quite happy to be there as the wind blew around them. Everything felt perfect. Like nothing could hurt them or change that moment. It was one of those days...
One of those days.... the days that you could look back on when you were feeling down or were going through something. The days that always seem to make you smile no matter how much you grew. The days that one will always remember no matter what happens in the future. The days that never really leave us. The days that turn into memories.
Henry let a smile fade onto his face and his blue eyes gleam with happiness, with no other emotions currently showed on his face. The boy was enjoying singing with Gia, letting the girl take a few solos at points but for the most part sang with her. It was refreshing almost... to be singing with the girl like old times. Past memories filled his mind and current ones were being created, the whole day or time spent with the girl felt amazing... at least to the boy...
♫"President Madison
He took our country from bankruptcy to prosperity
I hate to admit it
But he doesn't get enough credit for all the credit he gave us
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story,"
♫
The words at points were difficult to sing as he couldn't remember how high or how long they were suppose to be held for but nevertheless the boy didn't look at that part and only how much fun it was to be singing these lyrics with Gia again.
♫"And when you're gone, who remembers your name? Who keeps your flame?Who tells your story? Who tells your story? Who tells your story?"♫
That day.... no that moment seemed perfect. Like nothing could go wrong or anything could happen. For once everything seemed to make sense.
ReducioI realized you fast forwarded it no worries.... but I agree Hamilton is this amazing.... to help myself write this I was listening to the soundtrack to...
