The Music Between us
~
Music truly brings us together
A well known thing. That's what this was, a well-known thing. The thing being, of course, That Paige is almost always dancing during her free time. Even if it may be outside, or even inside, it was a pattern nonetheless. Today was a rather hot day in Paige's opinion, which is why she decided she would be going to the rehearsal room to practice her dance. Dancing. It was an amazing thing. It allowed you to express yourself and break free from the struggles of the world around you. from the stress of the world. The pressure of the people. And Paige needed that escape.
Because she was a werewolf.
Some say that being human is hard. They say that because a part of being human is feeling. But from the day she was bitten, she's felt more than one single human ever should in an entire lifetime. She was scared of harming her siblings, but mainly her baby brother. Being at Hogwarts though it broke her heart to admit, was a good thing. It was good because her brother would be out of harm's way. The harm that comes from her. So when she grabbed her dance bag and walked down the hall to the rehearsal room, with each step she could feel her everyday stress peeling away.
Something about irony could be especially cruel. She had randomly chosen a shirt today, and the words written on her shirt were maybe something she could never do, except while dancing.
Be free. And with that thought, her stress was away as she flung open the door. She placed her bag on the stage and started playing music in her head. She would be able to freestyle dance, her favorite type. She could actually be free with no eyes.

Henry never minded being alone, the day was done and classes ended so the twelve year old changed into his older brother's sweatshirt and a pair of jeans before leaving both his messager type bag and orange feline; Loki in his dormitory.
The boy then walked up a few flights of stairs and started to wander throughout the corridors as he took a breath and let his mind wander.
Eventually he made it to the fourth floor, how odd. The fourth floor had rooms that involved different topics; the dueling rooms were there as well as the bathrooms but also the ballroom and rehearsal room.
Henry didn't think to much about the rooms and thought about passing by until he saw a shadow in the rehearsal room so checking to ensure his wand was in his jeans before approaching the door and peeking to find... Paige Grant dancing.
The girl was different, she was kind and adventurous but something about her allowed Henry to relax and goof off it was no wonder how the two were already friends.
Henry would step instead the room still smiling as he spoke" I didn't know you dance, your really good," before approaching the girl and carefully grasping her hand and twirling her around for a moment or two.
The second year didn't really dance that much but Paige had that thing around her that made him feel free almost or relaxed.

Come on, dance with me
Dancing was... like a door, per se. It opened up to freedom, it was like a key, some could say. The key to happiness, or even peace. Not to mention, it was a good workout. Spinning, leaping, twisting, raising your arms, it's all dance. What she was doing was dance. Of course, she was in her own moment. She was in the moment, and it would stay that way for quite some time. When she was dancing, she could think about all the things that normally stressed her out because she felt relaxed.
There would be a full moon soon. On the 28th, it was coming too soon. If one were to look at her at least a week before a full moon, one would see the bags under her eyes from the stress. Which is why she was dancing. She needed it. She needed it because it helped with the stress of it all.
She jumped fifty feet in the air. Why? She heard a voice that broke her thoughts. Her first thought was to kick the intruder before she recognized the voice as Henry's. Henry was super cool and totally fun to hang with. She smiled. "Surprise! I can dance!" She was already forgetting her worries as Henry spun her around, the two already goofing off like the goofballs they were.

"Not surprise, just didn't know," Henry replied with a smile as he twirled Paige around for a few more moments forgetting for brief seconds about his anxiety and stress as he was currently having fun and enjoying the company of Paige; a girl that he didn't know even existed last month but now after short meetings considered her a friend and maybe even a close one. It was funny how those things can happen. It was funny how strangers can become friends in a instance. It was funny how the bad can transform into good. It was funny how someone can make everything seem at peace at least for a moment.
Henry smiled at the girl for a second as he twirled her around, dancing to the invisible music in the air before a moment passed and laughter was in the air.
" actually I barley know you Paige and you barley know me," Henry spoke brushing a few strands of hair from his face before twirling the girl one last time and letting go of her hand.
"What if we change that, we are friends aren't we?" Henry spoke and would wait a moment before the boy would smile at her and continue" so what do you say Paige? Shall we learn more about each other."

"Well, I'm very talented, your majesty." She said, referring to the joke she made the day they met. Henry, meaning royal, means she had a great nickname for him, and it even was an inside joke. Around, and around, she went, has Henry smiled and danced with her, Until she couldn't take it, she burst out laughing, Henry already knew how much a goofball she was, so she let her laughter fill the room.
"Aw, man. Dancing to imaginary music when your not alone is just funny." She shook her head. Henry brushed a loose strand of hair from her face, and let go of her hand. He spun her once more, and the strand fell again. It was always there, too.
"What do you mean I know enough! You're a goofball, you're awesome, funny, nice, possibly smarter than me.... Oh, I don't even know your last name, yeah, that's a problem. " He mentioned them being friends, and she beamed. "Pff, 'course we're friends! I think that is a great idea, what do you have in mind? She just hoped he wouldn't ask anything that would make him know she was a werewolf, because being with Henry made her feel normal.

Henry would playful roll his eyed with a light smile at the girl as she referred to him as 'majesty' it was a clever nickname through.
"Well aren't all apprentice suppose to be talented anyway," Henry replied back remembering his Paige was a word for Knight apprentice and it fit with her nickname for him so.
Henry would spin her once more before carefully letting go and smiling to her words, waiting a moment before replying" you should tell me next time you decide dance alone, I could play the piano or violin or guitar for your music," letting a light laugh escape into the room before brushing a few strands if hair from his face.
Henry would take a step back and lean against a cabinet while crossing his arms in a loose manner with a smile before replying to her, " alright if we already know everything about each other then," the second year would continue his smile as he spoke" when is my birthday, how many siblings do you I have, where was I born, where do I live, and ah what's my last name?"
Henry suspected her to not answer any of the questions and waited a few minutes before saying" told you so and my surname is Knight," merlin he hated telling others his surname but brushed it off ad he approached the girl.
"Uh, I'm not sure exactly. Last year I heard a few gryffindor's played different muggle games to get to know each other so maybe we could do one of those," Henry suggested not sure what else to add or say really.

@Henry Knight"Oh, so, so funnyyy" she raised her eyebrows. "Oh? So you can play not one, but 3 instruments? Wow." She tilted her head, not truly expecting that from him. She scrunched up her forehead. "Uh... your birthday is a day... of... a month. Uh... a number, a place, and another place, and uuuhhhhhhhhh...." She smiled. "Ah, so not a king, but a knight, now? How about brave kind, hm? A nickname that fits!"
She smiled. "My surname is Grant."
She laughed. "A muggle game? How about 2 truths and a lie? 10 questions? 2 lies and a truth?" she jumped up and down. "Okay, I'll ask you questions, and you give me an answer, and I'll give you mine, and then we take turns. How about that?" So, she would ask something, answer, he would answer, then he would ask. Hoping he understood, she sat down. "How many siblings do you have? I have 3, an older brother and sister, and a baby brother. I get along best with my older brother, and end up babysitting my baby brother most of the time. What about you?" She cocked her head as she asked for his response. Getting to know him.

"But Truthful," Henry replied back as a joke before continuing" yeah, my father had me learn violin and piano when I was younger but now I'm currently learning guitar which is quite interesting," the twelve year smile at the girl who stood in front of him and wonder if she played any instruments or perhaps they could mess around with his guitar or something...
Henry rose his eyebrow at the girl as she was guessing the answers to his questions before letting out a laugh as he spoke" wait were both Knights aren't we," Henry remembered that a definition of Paige was a Knight in training.
"Grant uh, in latin it means to trust or entrust," Henry spoke with a small smile since he was a bit of a geek or nerd whichever others choose...
Henry smiled at Paige's suggestions with a nod and thought one of them could he fun to do as well as he spoke" 2 truths and a lie or 2 lies and a truth sound like fun," however Paige would suggestion another and the boy would just nod with a smile as he replied" sounds fun."
Henry sat down in front of Paige on the ground as the second year listened to his friend speak and smiled before replying" do you miss your siblings? Unless is your older sister and brother here?" Henry actually didn't know if his friend had any siblings at Hogwarts or her blood status even not that any of those matter as he spoke" I have a older brother who already graduated from Hogwarts but I'm really close with him and also a twin sister," Henry gave her a smile before asking his question" when is your birthday? Mine is April 13th and I'll be turning 13 as well."

Henry would not let himself seem better, even with names. Paige held out her arms. "Yeah, but I'm still training" She nudged his shoulder. "And you come along oh so cool with no training needed!" She said. "I mean my surname is Grant! That's not even co-" The Henry said what her last name meant. "Oh. Okay. That's not bad."
Paige nodded to Henry's question. "Well, yes, I really miss them, but I have 3 siblings and that gets annoying sometimes." Paige admitted. She shook her head. "Nah, it's just me" At "Me" she held her hands out slightly before putting them down. "I'm a muggle-born, so it's just me." She explained.
"Oh? A twin? Nice!" She exclaimed. "March first. Is my Birthday. " Then she paused. "Wait. You turn 13 on the 13th!" She said, pointing that out uselessly because Henry probably around knew that.

Henry crossed his arms in front of his chest in a loose way as he kept up a straight back bit was rather comfortable with a smile as he chatted with Paige.
The barrier was still up however, hiding all of his emotions so only a single smile could be seen as he spoke"Was I accusing you or did I get you to accuse yourself," playfulness could be heard in the young slytherin's voice along with a bit of a laugh. Laughter was always heard when the too werewolves were together which was probably why Henry was quite fond of the girl.
"And your a great dancer to," Henry replied with a small smile and tilt of his head downward a bit before looking back at Paige with a smile as their conversation changed from musical instruments to names.
"Who said I was cool," Henry asked with a smile directed toward her before continuing" and who said I didn't need training," the boy was having fun talking with her as he thought the meanings of Paige's names before he would replie"your surname is pretty wicked to and your names combined could mean; the knight in training to trust."
Not that cool but pretty interesting at least to the second year as he smiled at the girl, standing across from her and getting more relaxed as the time went on.
Paige had three siblings, one more than Henry did and she also was alone at Hogwarts. The young slytherin kept his arms crossed loosely over his chest as he looked down for a moment before back up at Paige and nodded when he heard her say that she was muggleborn.
Blood status has never bothered Henry before so he moved past the part as he spoke" are you the youngest or oldest or middle in your family?" the boy waited for a moment to hear her response, curious about what she might say.
Henry while he was a twin, technically he was the middle child to. Arthur was older than both him and his twin sister which they usually stop at there but Henry also was born 6 minutes before Annabeth making him 6 minutes older and technically speaking the middle child even if he never tells anyone since minutes are just minutes.
"Do you miss your siblings" Henry asked before taking a moment and breath as he spoke" I miss mine occasionally," the boy thought about her being muggleborn next and decided to leave the siblings talk as he took a step closer to Paige and in a gentle voice spoke" just because your muggleborn doesn't mean anything, you can be brilliant and more brilliant than pureblood's."
The second year smiled a bit before look off to the side as he stretched his back a bit backwards while he spoke" I'm a pureblood but I never cared about blood status," the boy would turned to face Paige again with a smile since his words were true. He had never been one to care about blood status.
"Everyone seems interested to know that am a twin, you won't exactly know it at Hogwarts since she's a squib," Henry replied finding it odd to say those words. Technically it was true, there wasn't many at Hogwarts who would think he was a twin since his twin wasn't magical and didn't go to Hogwarts but yet he was.
"March 1st. Next year I'll get you a bloody brilliant gift," Henry spoke as he took a moment to breath and listen to Paige before laughing for a bit at her comment.
Still wearing his smile or perhaps a grin the young student spoke" yes I turn 13 on the 13th, odd I know," this was fun talking with Paige as he remembered the muggle games and open his mouth to suggest one, " should we start the game then? Two truths and a lie or two lies and a truth?"
