kindred's p.o.v.

THE NEXT NIGHT
______________

i walked into the kitchen, seeing everyone, and i still can't believe all of this is happening, so so quick.

i feel like i'm being plucked straight out of a romance novel, and i'm not quite sure how to feel about it.

i don't think i like how fast this is moving, and i most definitely don't like knowing those blasted twins were up late one night making a deal, over me.

or do it like it?

i've never thought i was all that special, but i suppose these past couple of days have proven me wrong.

almost all the boys in the house are going mad over me.

except for one...

i look over in harry's direction to see him already looking at me. his face stern as usual, but his eyes burning with something i can't quite place. 

i do wonder if he thinks if attractive, or.. no he doesn't kindred you're being stupid.

we hold eye contact only for a moment before being interrupted by the twins loud voices.

they were teasing ron about something.

my eyes meet ron's and i automatically assume the boys had said something about me.

hermione and ginny were laughing about something and harry was just getting up to leave when george spoke all of a sudden.

"let's all play a game, shall we?" he suggested.

harry stilled for only a second, before turning on his heel and beginning to walk off again. but before he could, george stepped in front of him blocking his path.

"i said 'let's all', which includes you as well, mate." the weasley told harry.

before harry could protest, there was a knock at the door.

"and that would be the others, right on time." fred announced, walking to the door.

the girls and i gave each other puzzled looks, but our questions were answered when other people started piling in through the door.

just then, sirius yelled from the top of the stairs, "have fun! be safe!"

i had no idea what was happening.

who were all these people? why we're they in my house? why is my dad allowing them to be here?

"george! fred! explain immediately." i yelled to them harshly.

the twins came rushing to me and i was suddenly squished between them.

F: "all students at hogwarts."

G: "every single one of them."

F: "figured it be good for you to already know a few people more when you go to school, just to make it easier."

G: "so we talked to sirius about it, and he agreed to distract the adults for a few hours while we all had a bit of a.. get together."

i was taken aback.

they... did this? for me?

"we figured we would try to make everything up to you. and, maybe even introduce you to some of your 'options'." fred told me with a cheeky smile, after seeing me go silent for a brief moment trying to process things.

i finally found my words, "yes, i'm sure they'll be plenty of options to choose from."

they chuckled, and nodded.
