*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Chapter Two: Keny ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kenya Cecil was a normal girl. If your standards of normal meant that she was going into her 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She, as well as all of her friends, were in Gryffindor, one of the houses in Hogwarts. The other houses were Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin.

Kenya, usually known as Keny, which is pronounced as Kenny, had lived with her best friend Joe until the end of her second year, when a woman name Lorene Draven adopted her. She now lived with Lorene and her son Tony, who Keny found terribly obnoxious. Currently tone seemed to have a death wish.

"TONY!" Keny lunged at him, but he ran down the stairs as fast as he could, laughing. "You little weasel!" Keny scrambled to her feet and began leaping down the steps, landing quite cat-like at the landing. "Give that back before I strangle you!" she hollered, quite full of anger.

"No!" came Tony's reply.

Keny jumped over the banister and landed just behind Tony. She grabbed the back of Tony's shirt and lifted him off the ground.

"Now give me back my wand before I break all your fingers and pry it out of your limp grasp!"

"No, no, no, no, no!" he said clinging to Keny's wand for dear life.

"Fine, they're your fingers," said Keny shrugging, and reaching for on of Tony's fingers.

"MUM!" Tony screamed as he wriggled and squirmed trying to get away from Keny.

Lorene appeared in the doorframe that led to the kitchen.

"You were the idiot that took her wand in the first place," She said calmly as she shrugged. Tony squawked and dropped the wand. Keny grinned, lightly tossed Tony aside, and picked up her wand.

"Keny, you better finish packing for school. We have to leave n an hour and a half and you still haven't eaten breakfast yet," Lorene said in her usual calm voice.

"Yes, Lorene. I just have to put my wand in my trunk and I'll be finished with packing. Although, I am going to take a shower before I leave."

"Well, alright, don't take too long. Breakfast will be done by time your finished." Lorene said with a slight sigh, but still keeping her calm voice. Keny turned with a mischievous grin and started up the stairs. "Oh, and Keny. Don't use magic to dry your hair again. We don't need another note from the ministry again. There's blow dryer you can use," Lorene predicted was Ken y had been thinking of doing.

Keny sighed angrily and continued up the stairs. When Keny arrived at her room, she put her wand in her trunk and dug through her drawers to find an outfit to wear. When she had chosen she grabbed a towel and went into the bathroom.

She quickly washed, dried off, and got dresses. She stepped in front of the mirror and rubbed off the steam. She saw a girl of about 16, with pitch-black hair, deep misty blue eyes, and a fairly tanned complexion. She sighed and plugged in the blow dryer.

It took her about five minutes to dry her hair. When she had finished she picked up her things and went back into her room. She dropped her things on her bed and started looking for her cat.

"Willow? Where are you?" she asked looking under her bed. She heard a meow from behind her. She turned to see a black with strange red eyes, a white mark on its chest, and its front left paw was white as well. "There you are!" she said with a grin. She picked up the cars a rubbed its chin, "Sorry, Will, but you have to go in your carrier now." The cat turned and glared at her.

"I said sorry!" Kenny grabbed Willow's carrier and opened the door. She sat Willow down, facing the open door. Willow sat down, looked at the carrier, and then turned to glare at Keny again. "Don't look at me like that like that!" Keny put her hands on her waist and glared at Will in return, "Now get in there!"

Willow twitched her tail and then did what she was told, even though it was reluctant. Keny closed it behind Willow and picked it and her trunk up and carried it downstairs. She set her things down by the door and went into the kitchen.

At the table sat Lorene, who was calmly eating her eggs, Tony who squawked and ducked under the table, and Jeff, who was reading the newspaper. When she entered, Jeff looked up and developed a disgusted look.

"What are you wearing?" He snarled.

Keny looked down at her outfit. She was wearing a red halter- top that showed her stomach and had a small heart cut out near the top. She wore blue jeans that were a little to long for her and covered most of her black leather boots. [A/N: See Keny's outfit here: ]

"Clothes," she said plainly in reply.

"Go change. You look like a slut," he snarled again looking at his paper. Keny shrugged and ran back upstairs and into her room. She didn't feel like changing, so she grabbed a long sleeved, white, button up dress shirt and put it over what she had on. She didn't bother to tuck it in. she ran down the stairs and into the kitchen.

Jeff quickly glanced over his newspaper, rolled his eyes at her, and returned to reading.

"The eggs are on the stove." Said Lorene as she got up to put her dishes in the sink.

"Uhm. . . Ok," Keny said, grabbing a plate and putting some eggs on it. Lorene came up from behind her and whispered:

"You do know that your halter top shows through that dress shirt?"

"Oh well, I plan on taking it off when I get to the station any way." Ken shrugged and sat down at the table.

She quickly finished her breakfast and soon after they had her things loaded into the car and were at the train station. Keny couldn't wait to see her friends again. She wanted to hear all about Leo's (her boyfriend) trip to Paris. She was anxious to see Joe again.

Keny bid Lorene, Jeff, and the annoyance goodbye while promising to not cause any trouble at school with her fingers behind her back. She walked through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10.

She looked around for her friends and saw Leo.

"Hey, Leo!" she called to him with a broad smile.

"There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you." He said walking over to her and greeting her with a kiss. "What's with the shirt?" he said, noticing her dress shirt.

"Jeff was complaining about my halter top so I put this over it," she said kissing him again, just for the sake of it. "Where are the others?" she asked looking around, expecting to see them.

"Sirius is looking for Joe, and I haven't seen anyone else yet," Leo said.

"Ah, I see. Well I have to put my trunk up and let Willow out before she has a panic attack. Which compartment are we in?" Keny said, again kissing him for the sake of it. Just then James walked thought the barrier.

"Again!? Why me?! He said in and exasperated tone and rolling his eyes, "And in public of all places!"

"Nice to see you too, James," said Keny and Leo at the same time.

"I'll show you to the compartment me and Sirius chose," said Leo as he led them to the train.

"Leo, this is the same compartment we had last year, and the year before that, and the year before that. Heck, since first year!" said James in a sarcastic tone.

"So?" said Keny as she put away her trunk.

"Whatever, I'm gonna go and look for Lily." James said after he had put away his trunk as well.

"OK." Said Leo with a slight shrug.

James left and Keny opened Willow's carrier. Willow poked her head out, looked around, and then walked out of her carrier. She settled herself in the corner, under the seat, and curled up. Keny rook of her dress shirt and threw it on top of her trunk.

"So, Leo, how was Paris?" she asked putting her arms around his neck and kissing him.

"Boring. How was your summer vacation?" He replied also kissing her.

"Torturous Hello. Did Sirius like Paris?" she also replied kissing him again.

"Nope." He said and kissed her again. From then on they just made out until Peter Pettigrew walked in.

"Oh! Sorry, I'll just go sit with Teresa then." And he left again. Kent and Leo ignored him and went on making out. About five minutes later James walked in again.

"Why me?! Is your plan to make me sick or something?!" He hollered throwing his hands into the air.

"Well, no not really. Although, it does look like we're succeeding." Said Keny and Leo laughed.

"Did you find Lily?" asked Leo as he sat down, and Keny sat next to him.

"Yeah, she said she's gonna sit with her friends," James said sitting across from them.

"Oh, well ok. Peter's sitting with his girlfriend." Said Keny as she rested her head on his shoulder and started to fidget with his fingers. James just glared at them, and eventually gave up with a sigh.
