 That's Rough Buddy | Be the Flower | Moon & Stars
It was going to take time to get used to his new title. When Tapio greeted him, Kennedy nodded. "It's not," he smiled, green eyes glancing out into the hall before returning to his colleague. "This was my home when I was younger. Slytherin to be more specific." Green and silver still held a piece of his heart. Kennedy believes no other house would have helped him defeat the odds he had been given when he was younger.
"Adom," Kennedy nodded in greeting. "It's surreal, to be honest. It's something I saw myself doing when I was younger. That I'm here doing just that...it's nice." He had a similar conversation with Johnathan (senior, not the student) the day before. They reminisced on quidditch, lessons and professors. And yet, it still felt like he was going to wake up soon.
Kennedy had seen the list of Hogwarts Staff and had seen a familiar name on it. They might have not interacted, but back in his Prefect and Head Boy days, he had made it a mission to familiarize himself with names or faces of Slytherins. "Javier Hernandez," he said, a crooked smile slipping onto his face. "A small world, isn't it?" What were the odds?
At Norman's greeting, Kennedy nodded and returned it. "Evening, Norman." At his mention to Holden's new position, Kennedy's attention was on the History of Magic professor. "Congratulations on Head of House," he said before chuckling softly at Simon's question. "Not yet. It's still early, though." If he was lucky, there would be no chaos tonight. And if the stars were on his side, it'd be a smooth term.
He. Spoke. Too. Soon.
