Now, Where Should We Begin? (Weasley Twins)

Chapter 100 - Home Sweet Home

The shop filled up entirely of nothing but complete and utter silence. Apart from the occasional clattering of something falling from a shelf, the only sound that seeped through the thick layer of silence was the ragged sounds of Kennedy's 'unladylike' breathing.

Fred and George in there evening business attire that consist of white long sleeves, dress pants, and suspenders stare directly at Kennedy with there void-like eyes. So many emotions were on both of there face that Kennedy really wasn't sure how to react.

Though the one feeling that Kennedy knew she could pick up from within there spacey stares was uneasiness. Even they weren't entirely sure how to react to her sudden appearance after all this time of being away.

Not to mention the hell that had been brought to Kennedy's name within the wizarding world allover the daily prophet and any kind of radio channel that could be found.

Many questions would have to be asked, but for now the two boys stood still, watching her as if they blinked she would disappear.

Kennedy swallowed, though nothing went down her dry and cracked throat. The last meal and sip of water she had was from Dylan, and since then she had gone foodless and waterless, leaving her run down body in a state it was far to used to.

Kennedy cleared her throat scratchily and avoid there gaze, shuffling from foot to foot while dry crumbs of dirt fell from her ratty clothing and slightly matted hair.

"...Um... I-I didn't have anywhere else to go." She said with slight strain creeping into her vocal cords. "If I s-stayed out there any longer... I- I thought they might find me."

Her breathing evened out, though there still was a slight crackle sounding out from every breath she took due to the dryness of her throat.

Neither young man made a single attempt to move toward her as they continue to stare at her. The tension in the room was so strong that it may have been the most uncomfortable Kennedy had been ever since she healed herself that night she had managed to escape the burrow.

That had been one of the last nights she had attempt to use her abilities. She was almost to scared to even try anything, and though she knew she had Soot to keep her safe she still didn't push herself.

After she left the burrow she sent Soot out to fend for himself, though before she sent him off she told the creature that when he felt in his heart that she needed him, then and only then should he come back to her.

Otherwise he'd be in danger and that wasn't what Kennedy had want.

Since she had the chance to speak with her future self a few times here and there, the young girl managed to mature a bit more as an individual. She learned of things about the world, herself, and even those around her. Though even then her future self wouldn't bring up anything outside of Kennedy's present selves timeline, for she claimed it could mess with how things were meant to go down.

And even though Kennedy had been annoyed at the time, she found a way to ignore the annoyance and accept what knowledge had been given to her.

Kennedy understood that she had changed some over the course of her being gone, but she truly hoped that both Fred and George would accept her as she is now like they had with how she was in the past.

After all, she still was that girl, only now did she have a bit more trauma hidden up her sleeve.

With her eyes still dancing everywhere except for the twins while her mind swirled with all these thoughts, she hardly had even noticed that George had inched closer to her. By the time she had lift her eyes to connect with his, she saw his hand hesitate as it float just beside her cheek.
