Now, Where Should We Begin? (Weasley Twins)

Chapter 25 - Is Kennedy Alright?

The last couple weeks have been quite chaotic and busy for Kennedy. With trying to maintain her school academics while also trying to help Hermione with the potion for Harry, Ron and herself on top of the fact that more news came out about her father, Kennedy was neck deep in stress.

When she wasn't in class or studying Kennedy was sat in the library with Hermione and the boys to help them prepare there ingredients correctly and to do some further research on the consequences of mixing some of the ingredients wrong.

It didn't help that right when she had began to make progress that Dumbledore usually would call her to his office to work on paper work that had been filed against her father from muggle and wizard families. Though of course since her father became something of a ghost tale all the work landed on her.

This ranged from suing do to past mishaps that had occurred, to criminal charges of families who had lost a loved one to the actions that were directly and indirectly caused by her father. Unsure of how she was supposed to deal with all of this the headmaster had offered to take all of it off her hands, but of course Kennedy felt that it was her responsibility.

Thus why Dumbledore would call her into his office for a couple hours worth of chat about family heirlooms that could be worth a larger sum of money. Which of course led to many trips to Diagon Alley where Kennedy would lead herself, Dumbledore and an appraiser to her vault to sort out objects and how much each would cover for each report.

In this time Kennedy was also of course having to manage her friendships along with quidditch practice so she wasn't falling behind in anything big with her friends or any new quidditch plays that Oliver and Angelina usually planned together.

During the last week or so Kennedy had a little more time on her hands since Dumbledore was sent to go deal with a few more complicated matters that involved her father with the ministry, so she was able to focus more of her free time on hanging out with her friends and spending some catch up time on the pitch to sharpen her quidditch skills.

Since Kennedy had been spending so much time with Dumbledore as well as trying to keep her studying up along with quidditch practice and friendships, Kennedy was looking more exhausted then ever. Bags hung under her eyes and her body seemed to slack some while still maintaining it's rigid form.

Maisie had begun to notice the lack of sleep Kennedy had been getting a few days ago when she had stayed up late a few nights in a row doing school work only to see Kennedy sitting on her bed wide awake and sometimes she didn't even see Kennedy in there shared dorm at all.

Deciding to mention something to someone Maisie had found Lee and Katie sitting together in a window sill in the hall in front of the painting of the Fat Lady where she mentioned to them her worries.

Agreeing that they too stumbled upon Kennedy wide awake at late times during the night they decided to finally have a meeting with there friends before the quidditch match some of them would be playing in.

Maisie, Lee, and Katie went around separately in search for there friends. Lee went to get Fred and George, Katie went to get Angelina and Alicia, and Maisie went to find Cedric and Leighton along with his group of friends much to her dismay.

Finally the large group of Gryffindor's, Ravenclaw's and a singular Hufflepuff sat themselves in a darker corner of the library so they could keep an eye on Kennedy who sat alongside Hermione and a sleeping Ron while Harry had his head resting on his arms.

"Who invited them?" Angelina asked Katie and Alicia who shrugged there shoulders as Leighton, Milo, Benny, and Gabrielle came into view beside Maisie and Cedric who quietly hurried over.
