The lights glimmered above Kennedy's head as she leaned back into a pillar with her eyes closed as she listened to her peers chat about the news about a ball that was to happen. More specifically one called the Yule Ball.

They were all met in a large hall awaiting their head of house to hear more about this upcoming event, but Kennedy didn't care much about it as she was sucked into her thoughts, leaving the bustling room around her to disappear into a deep and empty void.

The echo of chatter rang through Kennedy's almost empty mind as she scoured through every corner of her brain for information that would help her with her dilemma.

Her school was having a Ball.

Meaning there would be dancing.

And most likely dates.

Normally Kennedy wouldn't have minded this entire situation and she would have just gone with Maisie and her friends with whomever their dates were, but now, Kennedy was facing far more than she wanted to admit.

'Curse waiting for sooner or later. I should have chosen never.' She thought to herself as she thought of the two boys that had brought so much light into her life.

The problem that Kennedy had run into was the fact that she still hadn't been able to decide whom of the two she fancied more. They were both just so... charming. Personality-wise and physically.

Other than that Kennedy was just not a very 'feeling' oriented person.

In a romantic sense, of course.

Kennedy was most definitely an emotional thinker and reactor, there was no doubt about it. But when it came to anything revolving around love or the potential to love, she had no clue.

Not a day in her life that she could remember had she ever been shown love truly and genuinely. Something that lies beyond just family and or physical attraction towards someone. A love so deep that all the little quirks one has disappears into a blissful breeze on a summers day that sends an exciting shiver down their partners spine.

How is she to know how to love when she never had anyone to show her?

Better yet, how would she ever know if she were in love, or how she should be treated?

'You're getting off-topic here, Kennedy.' A voice noted in her head causing Kennedy to huff some.

'You know... you never actually talk to me. Only when you are uninvited do you ever voice anything.' Kennedy thought.

'Oh, please. I keep you alive ninety percent of your ignorant little life.' The voice shot back causing Kennedy to open her eyes while rolling them slightly as she shook herself from her thoughts some.

As much as she knew she was avoiding the topic, she deciding to put the whole 'Fred and George' decision-making to the side once more as McGonagall walked through the doors.

Before she had arrived there was a note on the door ordering for all girls and all boys to divide themselves on each side of the classroom by gender, so of course, they did as told. Though little did Kennedy know from across the room George was watching her carefully as she slowly snapped out of her hypnotic state.

Fred on the other hand was yelling across the way to Angelina and Alicia who were trying to silently mouth to him some 'words of encouragement' while Katie sat with her hand covering her face as she rolled her eyes thinking how Maisie and her did not agree with what they were stating.

Though Kennedy pays no mind to them as McGonagall stopped in the center of the room with her hands folded together across her stomach, leading to the room to fall utterly silent as the sound of shifting feet echoed through the room.
