Music Is My Voice (Open)

[Deleted]

Hennah stepped into one of the unused classrooms that happened to have a piano in it. In her right hand was a small cage with her canary Melody in it. She stepped over and sat the cage on a table near the piano. She then sat in front of the piano and began playing a beautiful song. The bird amazingly sang along with it which caused Heenah to open her mouth as if to laugh. No laugh was heard, but the combination of joy and amusement was seen on her face. Melody had sang along with her music a number of times, but Hennah could never get enough of it. Every time she found it astonishing and funny at the same time.

She stopped playing for a moment, and took a small bag of bird seed out of her purse. She poured a little bit of it in the feeder in the cage and then gave her bird a little pet. She then returned to the piano and began to play again. The bird ate a bit, then went back to singing.

As Hennah played, she noticed a boy walking in. She saw right away he was from Slytherin, but that didn't hinder from smiling at him in greeting. Appearance wise, he looked like a nice enough guy and not like some of the younger Slytherins who at times picked on her for being mute. her assumption seemed correct when he sincerely applauded her and told her the piece was beautiful. Since Hennah could not say thank you and wanted to show her gratitude for such compliments, she blew him a kiss.

She then stepped over and looked at him and then his cello and smiled again. A look of "Oh, one moment" appeared on her face and she stepped over and took a small notebook out of her bag. With a little quill and ink bottle, she wrote on it and handed the piece of paper reading:

Hello, my name is Hennah, and this is my canary Melody. I see you play music as well.

She then stepped back over to piano and began playing a bit again. She then gave the boy a hopeful smile and pointed to his cello.

Hennah might have looked like she was going to shake Bryce's hand, but then stepped over and hugged him. That was what she did when she could tell someone was a nice person. Right away, she could tell the two were going to be good friends.

When Bryce spoke of her joining he and some other girl for duets on the sixth floor, she smiled and nodded, accepting the invitation. She also beamed when he said her canary was beautiful. She grinned when the canary seemed to chirp in response to the compliment.

When he asked if she wanted to take the lead on the piano, she shrugged and nodded. Either way was fine with her. She was just happy to have someone to play music with. She nodded to him once before she began. She played one of her favorite songs by a magical composer from the Sixteenth Century named Simonus Spelboonia. She hoped Bryce knew it as well as she had always found the composition so beautiful and played it often at him. She smiled again as Melody sang again.
