Now, Where Should We Begin? (Weasley Twins)

Chapter 72 - Training Gone Wrong

The day had gone by relatively quickly, and the sun had just began to set painting the sky in a light blush shade with a pale yellow underneath it where the sun shined only just above the distant mountain covered in tree's.

The girl was stuck in her own mind as the wind gently blew by while she struck a tree with her fist repeatedly. Nova was instructing the girl to better her form but Kennedy was a bit more preoccupied in her own thoughts as she vigorously struck the chipped tree trunk, sending bark pieces into the air.

Nova's thick eye yet neatly plucked brows furrowed while her eyes narrowed curiously to her protégé who was clearly stuck on something that was causing her to lose focus when she normally was very attentive and listened to her mentor.

Nova had enough when Kennedy started to drip sweat and grunt as her knuckles covered in leather and cotton wraps began to become raw. The women marched up to Kennedy and grabbed her shoulder, causing Kennedy to jump in surprise and send a hefty punch towards Nova.

The woman, being far more experienced, easily dodged the punch and gripped Kennedy's outstretched wrist firmly before she brought her for arm to Kennedy's collarbone and pushed her roughly into the tree behind her.

Kennedy's breathing was slightly uneven as she squeezed her eyes closed to calm herself from the sudden frustration she felt when Nova stopped her from demolishing the innocent tree she was now squished upon.

"You need to calm down." Nova said in a firm and powerful tone.

Kennedy avoided eye contact and rest her head against the tree as she took a couple deep breathes to prevent the women for making her calm down.

This entire last two hours had been whooping Kennedy's ass.

Not only had she been pushed harder today conditioning wise, Nova also had given her a rather awful surprise that almost result in Kennedy knocking an innocent seventh years head clean off.

Earlier when Kennedy was about an hour into her training Snape had come out ready to initiate one of his and Nova's plans that had been approved by the Ministry. It took a lot of convincing on their behalf, but when they told the Ministry their reasoning for what they had planned to do, the Minister reluctantly agreed.

"Alright, time." Nova state as she watched Kennedy drop from the tree she had previously been instruct to do pull ups on.

The girl dropped quickly from the tree and fell to her knees while her hands were above her head so she could get more oxygen to her lungs. Nova smiled to the girl briefly before she tossed her the water bottle she provide her.

"You're getting better. Much better actually, you're about twenty-two pull ups higher then the amount you did almost a year ago today." Nova congratulate as she sat herself down next to Kennedy who offered the women a sarcastic smile.

"Yeah well when you have a pretty kick-ass mentor who literally kicks my ass, I'd expect to see results." Kennedy laughed while the older women rolled her eyes.

"Oh, please. I'm doing you a favor by cutting the workouts I do daily in half. Plus I give you the weekends off."

"Oh, wow. Thank you so much." Kennedy uttered playfully while she took a couple more deep breaths.

"You've had enough rest, don't you think?"

"I'm going to answer how I always do. No." Kennedy state as she stood herself up lazily.

"To bad." Nova snickered. "Take my key's and go to Madam Hooch's office and tell her to grab you some padded leather quidditch gloves."

"Why?" Kennedy questioned hesitantly as she grabbed the key's.
